"abraço da morte" that means "embrace of death" is a phenomenon that happens between two plants: one serves as a host and the other one as a guest. The guest needs to develop attaching itself to the host's stem, it allows to emit roots, which will serve as support. According to guest's growth, it compromises the life of the host killing it by strangulation caused by the growth of guest's roots around the stem. The embrace of death is a phenomenon that occurs commonly with Apuizeiro plants (Cecropiaceae) and happens when birds defecate its seeds, they settle and germinate in the bark of trees. Thank you for visiting, we hope you had fun and see you soon! Greetings from Brazil

Everytime i go driving around Japan, this is exactly what i see all over the country. One of their prettiest flowers grow on a vine they call Fuji, the wisteria, and so much of it has been choking out entire forests. All parts of the plant are also toxic from a chemical called wisterin. So while they have cultivated wisteria vines growing on metal brackets for viewing and the bunches of flowers are gorgeous, in the wild, wisteria is causing a TON of tree deaths and they can't do anything about it because it's literally named the same thing as their holy mountain. Apparently like another Chinese/Japanese import kudzu, they're becoming a huge problem in the SE United States as well as an invasive species, but the edible Kudzu could be taken care of if the US employs more herds of weedmowing goats. *Wisteria in Chinese is directly translated as "purple vine flower" 紫藤花, but they can be several shades of purple, but also white and pale yellow/green. Their vines can also grow to around 15cm(5.9") diameter.

Common misconception. Orchids aren’t parasitic as they don’t take nutrients from the host plant. But they are epiphytic meaning they attach to trees and rocks and take in the nutrients from insect/bird poop and bark/leaf debris in the water that runs off the host.
@josephbrisco3797

In addition they form a symbiotic relationship with the tree and the fungi and other microlife that the host has sharing resources

yea you get consistent audible volume and the vlogger gets to commentate on stuff which they might not be able to do during the actual recording. the editor is also having fun with the annotations! this style of vlogging probably also takes more effort since maya has to dub over the clips herself.

I love the voice overs, its a mystery for both of us of where we are going!
the "hug of death" at 8:29 refers to when a parasitic plant laces itself around a host plant's trunk until it (the parasitic one) develops roots, killing its host (this is an oversimplification because I'm not a bottanist, I'm just translating). If you google INPA Abraço da Morte there are some pictures and articles about it (in portuguese)

Wanted to learn about parasitic plants, instead it kept showing me a heartbreaking story about a burning windmill in the Netherlands 😢
Brazilian dessert pizza IS a thing, there is no mozzarella in the chocolate one though. We do use some cheese for a particular guava paste flavor, called "Romeo and Juliet", it's *good.* Anyway, if you really want to try Brazilian pizza, you'd have to go to Brazil again and go to São Paulo, because in terms of Italian descendents, São Paulo is just like New York, so the pizza game there is on another level. The sushi game ALSO is great here, although that's a bit of a new thing (biggest japanese population outside of Japan baby!). Anyway, if it ever interests you, you should go to Brazil again to do some videos on some of the other biomes we have. Caatinga, Mata Atlântica, Pantanal, Cerrado... It's a lot of diverse life, these places are also documented way less often compared to the Amazon to foreigners so it'd almost be an exclusive scoop!

8:30 'abraço' means hug and 'morte' means death, so it literally means hug of death. Searching around the internet it seems to be a term for when a plant grows its roots around another plant, effectively starving and strangling them in a "hug of death"
The desert pizzas are actually a big thing in brazil, you will find them in every pizza shop with various different flavours. HOWEVER there is a huge debate regarding if cheese should be put in it or not. Some places do, some places don't. I personally dont like it but some people love it

Volte sempreee miga
WHO ELSE CAME FROM THE PROP TREE LIVE?? also maya you are such a cool human the conservation work you do is so dope we really need more humans like yourself 🙌
I don't think orchids are parasitic, but most _are_ epiphytes. They grow on other plants, but don't steal nutrients like mistletoe, for example.

Loving the Brazil content, and your "unique style of voiceover"! It's much like when I look at upcoming dates in my calendar and see that past me has(helpfully) written "12 O'CLOCK!!!" No clue what she was on about but we're all here to find out☺️
If you get a chance to come to Colorado you should check out The Butterfly Pavilion. It's small and modest, but what they do with the space is awesome. And if you get yourself a tour in the back; you wouldn't be disappointed with some of the kindest and most knowledgeable entomologists, as well as every species you could imagine. Grew up next to the area, and when I was young. If it was a cold winter day in Colorado, I'd walk over there with a book and read on a bench inside the pavilion. Little slice of humid butterfly heaven in this cold desert. insect conservation at its finest.
It is so amazing seeing you show us so many AMAZING insects that haven't even been LABELLED. AND THE FRKN CAIMAN WAS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. I can't wait to see more of these videos!!!
I like this style of vlogging with the voice over. It gives the feeling that you’re watching it for the time like us 😂
I love that you have no idea what's happening during the voice overs, it engages me more than normal because im not getting spoonfed whats happening lmao
This was amazing! Great editing too! Thanks Maya and team
YES I love this type of voice over vlog style. c: So happy for the Brazil Vlogs!
Nah the voice overs are awesome because you get to relive the moment again while explaining it. You’re doing great keep it up
I am SOOOOOO excited for the video next week! I’m so glad you got to go on this trip I hope you have more opportunities to educate and travel in the future!! These videos are so fun!

The voiceovers 👌 and the content, lovely. Great job Mya. 🫠
This was so much fun just to _watch,_ I can't imagine how excited you were!! Congratulations! Thanks for sharing this experience. I hope to visit Brazil some day, and I'd love to go to some of these places as well. Edit: How did I miss the FOSSILS?? If you have more footage of the bones and fossils would you consider uploading it? I wanna see more 😭
Excellent video, I was in the mood to relax and enjoyed myself. Also the narration style keeps it light I think 👍
The voiceovers were great! Awesome hearing you get excited about stuff again as you realize what was going on
Love the editing ❤
You’ve become such an inspiration to me. I’ll be finding a way to support you and alveus because wow. If I could plan my dream life, I’d be going to Brazil to help educate and preserve these beautiful species. YOU ARE AMAZING and your animals and staff and team is amazing. Thanks for sharing. (I’ll be obsessively watching all your content now. See you at the next PO unboxing video :)
I'm loving the voice overs
this video and the last video have been so amazing to see all of the different plant and animal species in brazil and it really makes me want to visit and see all of this amazing wildlife for myself!!! Another banger video Maya as always
I enjoy the voice over and the editing is really fun Great vlog 👍🏻
These vlogs are the bessssst thanks for sharing. Would absolutely not hate a video of all that rainforest asmr holy shid
I love the style of it being edited before the voice overs so you are remembering the trip while showing us. Such a cool style it's my favorite
We have green collared parakeets in cologne, Germany, its so cool to see them! Almost all our native birds are muted colours, grey, black etc but some 50 years ago some pet parakeets were released by someone or broke free and now theres about 2000 parakeets swooshing through the city in a big green swarm or individually, its so cool to see :) (Though dont just buy exotic pets and release them because you cant take care, thats bad!)
I literally just followed u today, and i was crying watching this vlog, it makes me so happy to see someone outside of brazil going there e being so respectful and happy to be there, thats actually makes my day !! so thank u for loving my country so much
living in a community like this is so beautiful.... its the way id love to live
I love voice over maya! It's always fun hearing the unedited excitement (especially in the comfort of your own recording space, since it does get awkward vlogging) Keep up the good work!
voiceover vlogs heck yessssss! wicked sick
shoutout to whoever edits these, flawless work. Also this vlogs filming, nuance, structure and feel make it a masterpiece. Emmersive, funny and entertaining. Reminds me that videos with millions in production don't make up for genuine story and humor. :)
Hey Maya, just wanted to say how incredible your Brazil Vlog was! Your dedication to capturing the essence of the local community and the breathtaking nature around you is truly inspiring. Keep up the amazing work, you're making a real impact with your content!
Nice video, great editing as always and entertaining voice over
dessert pizzas are definitely a thing in Brazil. I usually have them with no cheese, though
loved this video so so much!
Thank you for the video
good vid Maya!!!
The food u mentioned in the vídeo, it's called pastel, one of the most iconic Brazilian dishes. I can't be anything but happy to see that u got the full Brazilian experience with cheese in the chocolate pizza 😝. These vlogs were amazing, can't wait for the rest of the videos, and be more then welcome to come back to our country! Theres a lot of amazing things regarding forests and eco system's, like the place withe the greatest bio diversity in the world, the atlantic forests, and so much!

damn i love when people express joy of how cool nature is. i love garret the guy that posts his time in the florida everglades and amazon, it makes brain go :) seeing so many critters
I love the voiceovers 😂 Maya trynna remember what she did is always funny
Sooo nice to see you get so excited about insects :)) when I visited manaus I also went crazy seeing the collection on MUSA! (I work with insects) It's so cool seeing a non-brazillian loving manaus as much as I did ❤ Really liked the video btw
Yooo the hairpin is a really cute look! Definitely practice it.
Love the voice overs!
I was about to write about my arachnophobia, and how every time I see one on even film it freaks me out, I get goosebumps and itchy sensations from anxiety. It was really nice to include a time stamp. Even more of a reason to support Maya and her team. Ps. I don’t hate spiders, just have an irrational fear of them.
I hope you always do voice overs like this, because it's like we all get to be surprised together, even though you were there! xD
