同时也令蝙蝠无法抗拒
And irresistible.
这种蝙蝠几乎可以把油麻藤 和其他任何植物区分开来
The bat can detect Mucuna more easily than almost any other plant here,
也可以得到十倍更多的花蜜
it also scores ten times more nectar,

附着在蝙蝠的皮毛上
that cling to the bat's fur
随着它飞向下一个糖果店

不可缺少的因素
gruesome romantic plans.
雄性吸血鬼蛛只有一粒大米那么大

极度需要在求偶仪式中获得关注
is desperate to win attention with his courtship ritual.
但雌性却喜欢一些很诡异的东西

现在 它没有满足雌性的需求
And right now, he's just not doing it for her.
它必须沾染上人类血液的甜香
He only gets to mate
才能获得交♥配♥权
if he's wearing a sweet perfume of human blood.
但它的毒牙并不适合噬咬人类
But his fangs aren't made for human flesh.
所以它需要其他吸血类动物 来帮它完成这个麻烦事
So he needs some other sucker to do his dirty work.
蚊子的装备更适合这项工作
A mosquito is far better equipped for the job.
凭借超级灵敏的触须 它可以找到我们呼出的二氧化碳
With supersensitive antennae, it hones in on carbon dioxide in our breath...
以及我们身体散发的热量

Fastacting neurotoxin disables his victim instantly.
然后它就吸光猎物的血液
Then he sucks it dry.
这只是它嗜血杀戮的开始
And this is just the beginning of his bloodthirsty killing spree.
因为它摄入血液越多
Because the more he drinks...
闻起来就越性感
the sexier he smells.
现在
Now,
他准备好开始浪漫恋情了
he's ready for romance.
身上每个毛孔都散发着血液的甜香
And with the sweet scent of blood oozing from every pore...
谁能抗拒得了呢?

Broadcast at higher resolution than a 4K TV,
有成百上千种变色的细胞闪光
hundreds of thousands of colorchanging cells flash.
这是在警告身长只有25厘米的小东西
It's a warning that a teninch little guy knows to heed
要多加小心 因为不然的话… 就要开战了
because the alternative... is to fight.
体积较大的雄性♥交♥战时
When large males clash,
会有严重受伤的风险
they risk serious injury.
战斗会持续20分钟之久
Battles can last up to 20 minutes...
通常会以一方释放墨水 仓皇逃走而结束
and usually end when one escapes in a cloud of ink...
留下赢家守护着自己的战利品
leaving the winner to guard his prize,
一只身形较小的 颜色不那么鲜艳的雌性

它成功骗过了大块头
he gets away with it.
雌性非常清楚 这个鬼鬼祟祟的小东西想要干什么
The female knows exactly what the sneaky little faker is up to.
它很喜欢这样
And she likes it.
实际上 偷偷靠近的雄性 在交♥配♥方面要比体型比它大的
In fact, sneaky males are more successful at mating
对手成功率更高
than their larger rivals.
等到大块头意识到时 已经太迟了
By the time the big guy realizes, it's too late.
小家伙早已溜走 但它大业已成
The little mimic is long gone. But his deed is done.
一点角色的转换 可以是成功的最好方式

这头母棕熊只在每年春天中的 几个星期处于发♥情♥期

到目前为止 还没有公熊来探访它
So far, no male has come to visit,

它看起来或许和其他的树一样
It may look like any other,
但这棵太平洋银杉
but this Pacific silver fir
有着非凡的特点 它是公熊的热点之地
has such phenomenal properties. It's a hotspot for male bears.
一百多年来 它们总会来到这里
They've been visiting it for more than 100 years.
摩擦它们背部
Rubbing glands in their back,
和前面的腺体
their front,
还有它们的爪子
and their feet.
它们会留下秘密的气味信息
They leave behind secret scent messages
透露出它们的年龄、身材 以及婚姻状况
about their age, fitness, and social status.
因为这种气味会被粘稠的树脂吸收
And because the fragrance gets trapped in sticky sap,
它会在长达一个月的时间里 慢慢地挥发到空气中
it slowly diffuses into the atmosphere for up to a month.
公熊通常是用摩擦树干的方法 来建立自己的领地
Male bears regularly use the rubbing tree to establish hierarchy.
但眼下这种情况非常罕见
But this is something very rare.
母熊发现这棵树可以起到 树林约会应用的作用
The female has figured out the tree also works as a woodland dating app.
它可以在这里张贴出“寻爱”启事
A site to post her "lookingforlove" status
留给所有细心察看的公熊
for any perusing male.
它在树干上上传了自己的资料 现在可以
Her own Timber profile uploaded, now all she can do

And with a sense of smell seven times more sensitive than a bloodhound's,
它跟随着母熊充满诱惑的气味
he follows her alluring scent,
一路走到河滩上
all the way to the beach.
它来得正及时
He's only just in time,
但至少它们已经知道彼此相互吸引
