#90 Amazonas Dyreliv (8/9) : Kæmpe Edderkopper og Mystiske Myrer – Sådan Styrer Smådyrene Amazonas!

Hvem styrer egentlig Amazonas – jaguaren eller myrerne?

De største dyr får ofte mest opmærksomhed. Men det er edderkopper, biller, tusindben og myrer, der holder regnskovens økosystem i gang. Faktisk er omkring 80 % af alle kendte dyrearter på Jorden leddyr.

I denne episode dykker vi ned i Amazonas' fascinerende verden af leddyr – fra gigantiske rovedderkopper og giftige skolopendre til møgbiller og hærmyrer!

I episoden kan du høre om:

• Verdens største fugleedderkop og den berygtede bananedderkop
• Sociale edderkopper, der lever i kolonier med tusindvis af individer
• Kæmpeskolopendre, der kan jage flagermus
• Amazonas møgbiller
• Kuglemyrer med verdens mest smertefulde stik
• Hvordan Hærmyrer og fugle samarbejder
