Creating a Second Giant Ecosystem Vivarium

My giant cloud rainforest ecosystem vivarium, Pantdora, has been a dream tank. Its unique plethora of flora and fauna, all connected via the food web, and lead to some amazing insights into the workings of Mother Nature! But the time has come to create a second ecosystem vivarium, an attachment to Pantdora, as an extension to the biological world we created. In this episode, I travel to the biodiverse island of Borneo and Australia to explore different biomes, and decide on what animals, plants, and fungi, I might be able to house in our next world. Hope you enjoy this Episode 5, Season 2 of my ecosystem vivarium series. Ant love forever! This video was shot in 4K Ultra HD resolution.

    OMG! AC Family, this is about to get crazy! Now that you've learned everything by the end of this video, LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD! Which biome type should we do as an extension to Pantdora?
  • @notchbeard9007
    I love that the guy I used to watch as a hobbyist is now rich enough to own a mansion full of vivariums. Way to go bud.
  • @stephanieg6507
    A canopy expansion would be amazing to watch the plants grow through
  • @flops314
    I originally voted for Cave because I find them absolutely fascinating but canopy stole my heart in this video. I think from a video production standpoint it has the most to offer viewers too.
  • @clementwg3477
    My personal vote: 1. Lowland rainforest 2. Canopy These two home the most interesting insect/animal options and beautiful vivarium for him to record wonderful footages for us to see.
  • @justpoke7891
    I remember watching this guy when I was a child and now that I’m older, I enjoy his content even more. You were a special part in my childhood. Thank you!
  • @SmapVapston
    At first, I wanted to see a cave, but after watching this video, the canopy addition seems like a perfect dovetail into what you already have accomplished.
  • @yifan_801
    I think canopy is the best option here. It would be awesome to see plants grow there and see insects jumping around. You can even have a weaver ant nest up there!
  • @yoarozu
    As a Geologist the cave was truly my favourite, but I can see the challenges with it. But my close second is definitely the grassland!
  • @rhyannslife12
    I just want to say thank you for giving the flash warning before showing Lady death strike. As someone who has severe arachnophobia, but loves to watch your videos is heartwarming to know I could watch them without 😢 afraid of the spiders.
  • @windchasing9698
    1: Canopy. Not many people get to see what is actually going on in a canopy. This would be super fascinating! 2: Cave. I would love to see bats, if you can connect to the outside, (and you can handle the ammonia smell).
  • @Nphen
    Canopy connected vertically to Pantdora gives habitat for sugar gliders & other mammals, as well as a refuge. Since a lot of people want to see a cave, I'd say make a small cave connected to Pantdora in the room like you said. Creatures can then go up into the canopy or "down" into the cave. I think having places where creatures can "leave" Pantdora for a nearby biome will give the most unexpected surprises!
  • @3foldartco
    Lowland Rain Forest is my vote! It sounds amazing with the marmosets descending on the lowlands.
  • @vickit9190
    Cave. I know everyone loves the canopy idea, but you really need a cave! A cool place to retreat to.
  • @nikki1028
    A CANOPY vivarium sounds like it may not only be the most practical but also really cool to see. Lots of potential, with mammals and birds and others. Next choices would be 2.Lowland rainforest, 3.Cave system, 4.Grasslands then finally 5.Swamplands.
  • @WildH10L
    Regardless of what biome you choose to do next, you HAVE to build a canopy at some point. The fact that it would just perfectly connect with Pandora and into your second floor is just impossible to ignore.
  • Seeing a wild orangutan is a once in a lifetime opportunity. And something future generations might not be able to experience. You should consider yourself very lucky AC!
