So many things are awesome about this video. Like how even in slow motion, you can see the hummingbird’s wings. Or how that mantis is the most badass mantis to ever stride the Earth and it allowed itself to be filmed.

“A Russian chimpanzee has been sent to rehab by zookeepers to cure the smoking and beer-drinking habits he has picked up, a popular daily reported on Friday. An ex-performer, Zhora became aggressive at his circus and was transferred to a zoo in the southern Russian city of Rostov, where he fathered several baby chimps, learned to draw with markers and picked up his two vices.”
