[TheSynyster1996]

[lukassnakeman]

to female beetle: so, you come here often ;-)

[GeckoGabbySnape]

why isn't snowflake thing on this :(

[nephos100]

That beetle inspired Dr Max Whisson of Perth, Australia to invent the Whisson Windmill, a device that takes water from the air powered only by the breeze that flows through it carrying moisture in its humid vapor form. Look for it under WaterUnlimited. He also designed a large scale water desalination system that would revegetate the coastal areas of most continents, using only solar and wind power. Of course, these ideas will not be put into action by any government.

[bdubya99]

"Namib" is short for Namibia, the country in South West Africa.  THIS IS THE NAMIB DESERT, NOT SAHARA DESERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[nakedvolleyball]

@bdubya99 Have you ever seen Brits get anything right when it comes to countries that they've destroyed?  Nope.

[MaFrimo]

@bdubya99

Hehe. The Sahara desert is ALSO in Namibia. This is part of the Sahara desert in Namibia.

[Gesmehod]

Lol the beetle at :57

"Aaall by myseeelf..."

[cliberacki]

@Gesmehod I enjoyed the trick of scale. At first I perceived it to be a large dune, but then the beetle puts it into perspective.

[dahudge27]

@Gesmehod Don't wanna be all by myself

[Pera200167]

lmfao, the discussion in the comments is priceless, especially if you read it while playing the clip....lol, what a connection

[cooltv4]

lol these comments are funny

[bapyou]

"made (you) look and sound stupid"?

I'm afraid only you can accomplish such a task.

I actually have a book in which the meaning of the name 'Namib' appears. But, since you're such a whiney twat, I'm keeping that bit of information to myself.

[bapyou]

What the hell is your problem? You asked ME a question. Why the hell did you ask me if you didn't want an answer? You daft bastard. Piss off, asswipe.

[bapyou]

I'm sorry, I do not know what the name "Namib" means. Of course it's not an English word. Why would you think it'd be in the dictionary?

[bapyou]

There is no such thing as "African" as a language. There are dozens abd dozens of languages spoken in Africa.

Seond, this is not the Sahara in this video, it is the Namib.

[stimbapomba]

awsome

[shlempnar]

theyre so petit!

[thatsMrSmileytoyou]

Crazyness

[ismaelocodf]

BEAUTIFUL..JUST BEAUTIFUL!!

[nakedvolleyball]

@cri8tor Then stop watching...please. WE don't need you.

[theidiotslapper]

@nakedvolleyball

I know it's been 8-months, but what a rude thing to write about someone's benign comment. We need educated people like cri8tor more than we need useless talking monkeys like you, so do the world a favor and hang yourself.

[TolSatha]

@cri8tor species? didnt know there is more than one. You realy should finish your education.

[deepskyblue]

@TolSatha "Species" can be singular or plural...

[benkenser]

@cri8tor

I need you

[vinzninalga]

@cri8tor exactly

[crimmastermid]

@cri8tor

this animal are protected from the great creater .

you need to protect your self first from ur soule and educated .

[Eliasthenaturefihgte]

@cri8tor I'm in the same situation write now and im in it for years. i know so much things about nature they dont say a word about in school. i hate the system. im not going to school for months but unlike the others who do so i spend the morning with learning stuff about nature :/ well i know how that is..

[DornDaniel]

@cri8tor

What are you studying? World domination?

[cri8tor]

@DornDaniel

Wow, I made a comment over two-years ago and you have to spit out some vomit over it just because you can't make a life for yourself outside of YouTube.

Take a break, and stop being such an asshole.

[DornDaniel]

@cri8tor

Oh man, you have to relax, it was just a joke. I am just thinking that your approach is wrong. You dont have to fight against your own kind, but you have to influence other people. Aggressions create anti aggressions. You will never save nature by fighting other people. There will always be people who will be against you even if you go the right way.

But manipulating them into joining your cause would also help you achieve your goal faster.

[CmdkyL]

@cri8tor wow you're such a retard

[blueforare]

Forget to say: I love this BBC programme!

Anyone got the Soundtrack on CD?

[slipknot12311]

listen this is the truth.. no god but 1 made all of this! hw can life be like dis?! with "big bang" BULLSHIT! guys!! read the quran and then u might understand!!! just saying love from egypt, muslim.

[nickdavishoss]

why do you have to bring this up on a nature video.... why. besides fighting over religion on youtube comments is just stupid and makes me think a religion that your in "houses" retards

[crossbow121]

I get so homesick for the Kalahari when I watch this from Europe.

[fremlinskent]

If this is about the Namib desert, why does the title refer to the Sahara desert? They're only a few thousand miles apart...

BBC, get out a map book and learn some geography.

[Melisa150793]

knp g bs didownload??

[mooviekiller]

2:00 i love the tranformation!

[chusZG]

yea

[extremewalk]

perfect

[SuperTimQ]

A great video that unfortunately has to try to explain everything by making the ridiculous assumption that millions of years of evolution can somehow create beauty and order and develop perfectly designed creatures by chance.

[fiendin281]

if they could be designed, why couldnt they have evolved?

[vinsanitypv04]

If mankind can create machines through the industrial revolution to make our lives easier, who's to say that God didn't create science, genetics, and evolution? Perhaps God created the laws of physics and science so that someday we could develop as a species and be able to manipulate our world for our benefit. I never thought God and evolution were inherently opposite. I always saw God as explaining scientific discoveries.

[BastEternal]

Who's to say? LOL..everyone who doesn't buy into the belief that there's a being in the sky that created everything. Science/genetics/evolution were not created - it always existed - it took human beings to discover each. Discovery does not mean spontaneous creation.

[uomo1953]

Of course...it can't have happened by chance. Some mythical being obviously created it.

[fadhgrid]

Humans... never satisfied of being just humans.

[BastEternal]

Making an evolutionary assumption makes a lot more sense than the assumption that an imaginary ghost living in the sky who refuses to make an appearance to prove his existence created the earth and everything in it.

[BastEternal]

Science has been proven to exist time and time again. To prove in a deity takes FAITH and BELIEF. Those who believe in deities simply accept the existence of something that has not yet been proven to exist. The difference between science and faith is that scientists go out of their way to prove that a hypothesis does exist and show research and experiments to convince our eyes. As opposed to xtian theists who cry "because the bible says so" when asked to prove if a deity exists.

[sj69dj]

what r u talking about? Science (from the Latin scientia, meaning "knowledge" or "knowing") is the effort to discover, and increase human understanding of how the physical world works. science proves nothing but the existence of the creater, The One and Only GOD.

[BastEternal]

"science proves nothing but the existence of the creater, The One and Only GOD. "

That's in your opinion, and considering you believe in a fairy tale, I'll leave you to it.

[sj69dj]

that is a fact mate, what u r say is just an opinion

[BastEternal]

If it's a fact, PROVE IT. Facts require factual evidence.

[gilloooo]

I mean above "... in science do not need any proof" :)

[sj69dj]

if u believe in science as you say u should concider seeking knowladge and dont forget to use the brain u've been given, dont just follow opinions.. once u trully seek that knowladge, you will find the truth, you will find The One and Only GOD. I'll leave u to it.

[BastEternal]

What are you BABBLING about? Are you going to bother responding rationally to any of my posts or just use your posts to talk nonsense and proselytize?

I must believe in GOD first to find this so-called truth you keep talking about. Don't you get it? So prove that god exists first, then we'll talk.

[decenttv]

I strongly disagree. God is no fairytale.. He is quiet real and just because we cant see him doesnt mean he aint here with us. Hes with us in spirit. read the bible.. we wouldnt be here if it wasnt for God.

[BastEternal]

"read the bible"

I read the bible for 18 years. Pages glued together is not proof of a god, neither are the contents contained within a book. The book only gives evidence to the tall tales that man is capable of concocting - there are countless other books with similar entries that attest to this fact.

A real god with incredible powers would surely use a more unique and convincing way to prove his existence than a BOOK. A book to prove a god? Ridiculous.

[BastEternal]

A god should not be contained within the pages of a book. I shouldn't have to read ANYTHING to know of his existence. A real god's existence should NOT be in doubt.

[unknownscientist09]

@BastEternal lol, i pity you

[BastEternal]

@unknownscientist09 If you choose to waste your time pitying others, hey, whatever floats your boat. I don't waste my time with pity. Pity is stupid, condescending, and not conducive to positivity.

If I were you, I'd turn that pity into understanding. Understand that people are justified in not believing in a "god" because men claimed it in an old book. Understand that there are people who value reason & evidence and won't just accept some mythological fairy tale because it's an an old book.

[BastEternal]

@unknownscientist09 And why pity? Because of some irrational belief you have that I'm going to hell because I don't believe what you do?

What I find utterly reprehensible is that you are OK with the idea that because I don't believe I deserve to be annihilated or sent to hell and be tortured because your god says so. For not believing!

Instead of realizing that punishing someone for not believing is WRONG and immoral, you pity them!

What's wrong with you? Can't you see how immoral that is?

[unknownscientist09]

@BastEternal lmao troll

[BastEternal]

@unknownscientist09 Really? That's the extent of your argument? Oy..what a waste of time.

[unknownscientist09]

@BastEternal fat troll

[hershibar14]

hey BastEternal.. if you really think about science proves nothing but the existence of the creater, the one and only God. If you believe what you do then how do you think the world came to be? Without God, we wouldn't be alive.

[cromulentinnoc3nce]

Amazing, all that for one drop of water...

[Lunanoemi]

i didnt know that

[VivekRajcoomar]

[marvindesu]

one of the most amazing nature videos i have ever seen!
