the cicada can make a sound so loud it
can damage your eardrums the majority of
a lifespan of a cicada is underground
and they can remain underground between
2 to 17 years
and when the mail emerges that’s when
they start calling
they need to find a mate before they die
so they’re very loud and the way that
the cicada achieves such high volume is
through its hollow abdomen it’s got
these little symbols and it pulls in and
out of these drum like organs
and with the hollow abdomen it’s able to
create a huge amount of noise
some of them going to upwards of a
hundred decibels some harmful even to
the human ear macaws which are
specialized for fruit in the very
highest part of the canopy will come all
the way down and they’ll eat the dirt
