Here it is. The elusive sickle bill hummingbird. They evolved such a curved bill it is only able to feed on the Heliconia flower, and they are one of the only hummers that needs to perch on its flower to maneuver the bill in there! #hummingbird for @natgeo @natgeotravel @natgeocreative #ecuador #cinematography #wild #birds #sumaco #fs700 #superslowmotion #blackinthejungle #blackinfilm

The walking trees of Ecuador

The arboreal realm lives at a different time scale to humans, but in the wilderness of the UNESCO listed Sumaco Biosphere Reserve (some 500 species of bird, 51 of large mammals and over 6000 kinds of plant) some primeval trees walk across the landscape at a pace appreciable to humankind. They move across the forest floor as new roots grow into the ground, sometimes up to 3 cm a day. The trees are responding to the high soil erosion caused by torrential equatorial rains, leading to new root growth in search of firmer ground, sometimes 20 metres away. As they settle, the tree tilts towards them and the old roots lift into the air, taking a couple of years to fully relocate to its new better soil and sunlight.

Потребуется целый день, чтобы доехать из столицы Эквадора, Кито, к сердцу Запаса Биосферы ЮНЕСКО Sumaco, приблизительно 100 км на юго–восток. Поездка длится три часа на машине по краю леса, а затем от семи к пятнадцати часам лодкой, мулом или пешком по грязной дороге, чтобы достигнуть прекрасного интерьера.Но усилие стоит того, жизнь посреди нетронутого леса, в котором размещается довольно…
