在这部自然界的群体智慧纪录片片中,徐志摩在游西湖时看到成群绵羊，想起在爱尔兰曾经见过空中万鸟齐鸣的景像，忍不住赞叹:「数大便是美。数大了似乎按照着一种自然 律，自然的会有一种特别的排列，一种特别的节奏，一种特殊的式样，激动我们审美的本能，激发我们审美的情绪。」动物为了各种特殊的理由聚集，带给我们一幕幕壮观的景象，为什么春天的时候蛇会大批聚集，有如电影「魔宫传奇」的一幕? 为什么 有大批鱼群让自己搁浅在沙滩上? 企鹅围成一大圈的原因是? 【大自然之最】将为我们一一找出答案。
From PBS - A look at some of the planet's great gatherings, creatures that come together in inconceivable numbers - sometimes in millions, billions, and even trillions. Included are bats and bees, locust and ants, monarch butterflies in Mexico, 17-year cicada hatches, grunion in the Sea of Cortez and carp in the Mississippi River, sardine runs off the coast of South Africa, super flocks of parakeets in the Australian Outback, mayflies on the 4th of July, and even penguins and wildebeest. Some gather to breed or to migrate, some for protection, some simply to keep warm in the cold. But in the process, a kind of super-organism is created in which individual intelligence is superseded by a collective consciousness that shares information and moves with a single purpose for the benefit of all. Check out swarm intelligence, essentially a living embodiment of social media in the natural world.
