Sociobiology! It's happening!

La inseparable cadena alimenticia... unos dependiendo de otros, todos conformando la unidad que permite cumplanos ciclos de vida.

The Cree of philosophy relationship and inter-dependency is illustrated in a spiral, from the outside ring inward, each on a ring of the spiral, Creator-Spirits-Minerals-Plant
s-Animals-People. Each being dependent on it's predecessor, and interdependent on each other, except the most recent addition - People. Even with the spiritual aspects removed and only the scientific hierarchy observed, people are dependent on all predecessors, they are not dependent on us.
Great video!

Then I guess that brings a deeper meaning to symbiosis and raise the value of leftovers!

Right.
The only reason the ants protect the aphids is because they don't want to lose this east food source. The aphids don't really need the substance because it is indigestible to them.
beautiful,this reminds me of how much beauty there is in our world if we only stop and watch for a moment.

Indeed, sometimes it's so close we just can't see it because we run and run! :)

The reason why these aphids give honey to the ants is because the ants protect them and stand gaurd for them. The aphids pay them with honey. I learned this in my Natural History class.

Indeed, it is called symbiosis and it shows how all lifeforms are interlaced to each other. But as Mankind believes to be at the top of the food chain, he often doesn't give a damn... Thanks for commenting !
