i want to know how many salamanders and/or caterpillars were crushed accidentally by the tires during filming.

cause you know the lizards and caterpillars naturally just saw a bunch or rolling tires and were like : "yeah lets go!"

I wonder how many salamanders and caterpillars they squashed with those tires until they got the perfect shot.

Every BBC nature video Ive watched today has put someone or something in mortal danger, whether its an ant that just wants to get laid or lizards trying to dodge a platoon of tires.

I want to work for them it would be so much fun.

I used to roll down hills in inner tubes as a kid. It was fun

^are you sure it was an inner tube and not a tire? Like a giant tractor tire or something?

All those bouncing tires reminded me of donkey kong country games. What a great franchise that was.

With that music going on, I was expecting the whiplash and the guitar to start rolling on also. The guy said it best though "born to rock and roll"
