[00:00.000]	This is Mauna Kea, a dormant volcano and Hawaii's tallest mountain.
[00:07:130]	Incredibly for a tropical island, its peak is covered with snow.
[00:12.070]	Little can survive at such freezing heights. Bugs blown up here don't stand a chance.
[00:19.080]	Stunned or trapped in snow, they slowly die.
[00:23.470]	But not everything succumbs to the cold.
[00:27.580]
[00:31.270]	Their cells are filled with a special kind of antifreeze that allows them to live around the snow line.
[00:37.670]	Originally, wekiu bugs were seed-eating vegetarians, but their descendants have adapted to this hostile environment.
[00:45.720]	Now with a taste for blood, they are the Pacific's own vampire bugs.
[00:51.890]	Needle-sharp mouthparts pierce their dead and dying victims before they suck out anything that's left inside.

[00:00.000]	这是莫纳克亚山，一座休眠的火山，并且是夏威夷最高的山峰。
[00:07:130]	难以置信的是，对于这样一座热带的岛屿，它（莫纳亚克山）的山峰却被雪覆盖。
[00:12.070]	很少有生物可以在这样极冷的高度上存活。被风吹到这来的昆虫没有机会（存活）。
[00:19.080]	它们要么昏迷，要么被困在雪中，然后慢慢死去。
[00:23.470]	但并不是所有东西都会向严寒屈服。
[00:27.580]	These tiny creatures are wekiu bugs. 这些微小的生物名为Wekiu虫（？）。
[00:31.270]	它们的细胞被一种特殊的抗凝剂填充，因此它们可以在雪线附近的高度生活。
[00:37.670]	最初，Wekiu虫是以种子为食的素食者，但它们的后代已经适应了这恶劣的环境。
[00:45.720]	现在，伴着血的气息，它们是太平洋上特有的吸血昆虫。
[00:51.890]	针状的口器会刺穿它们已死或濒临死亡的猎物，直至它们被吸食得什么都不剩。
