Thanks for that awesome video. That was some great footage they got.

I wonder if this should go in the Rock & Roll channel?

Wow, I never knew they could do that and I watched a lot of nature documentaries. LOL.

they displaced all those salamanders and grubs from their natural habitats just to film that? Not to mention all the tires that were displaced from their natural habitats. I'm going to have to flag this one as

*peta

I think this is *science.

Adding video to channels (Science) - requested by Fjnbk.

Wow, that was a nice dismount by the c'piller at the end there. I wonder how long he's been practicing that.

They're copying us. We had wheels first.

Upvoted, but not really a wheel.

Wheel: a simple machine consisting of a circular frame with spokes (or a solid disc) that can rotate on a shaft or axle
