Mexicans: chugs mezcal, shoots rival gang members, feeds family 8 liters of soda, cuts down rainforests, celebrated degeneracy, exploits tourists, larps as a shaman, unable to read or write "we wuz aztecs y cozas. Protect the amazon cabron!"

Where's the Batman bgm?
Great video-30 000 tons? Wow
That's perfect for Halloween🎃
This video is just amazing, because bats and their hunters seen in this video very nice. In my childhood i saw bats very randomly in my street posts and I'm curious about why the bat's are always riding on night? Is they night riders? These are the two questions mostly come in my head. In this video at Yucatán more than 3 billion bats living in a cave and they survive with eating insects of their each bodies. But the rats are afraid because of some hunter birds and that birds are living devils that dangerous to their life.
Watching those bats move like a living cloud is mesmerizing — and the hawks diving through them feels like nature’s own choreography. BBC never fails to remind us how precise and poetic the wild can be.
