Imagine having that many legs and still being outrun by a snail
😂
Outrun by something without legs 😂
Lol dayum
The snail was like "oh..hi!" *DEAD!*
As the saying goes “ Slow and steady wins the race "
Giant Triton: “I must go, the reef needs me”
The hero the reef needs, not the one it deserves.
😁😁
@richard wand Don´t hold your breath. Its coming at a Tritonus pace.
The silent guardian 🙏
Honey where’s my shell?
To the human eye it’s one of the slowest thing we’ll see, in their mind it’s Tokyo drift
Tru 😂😂😂😂
*tokyo drift ost starts playing*
Matrix highway chase soundtrack kicks in.
Which one is the Drift King?
@@gildedvulture7965 whoever lives🤣
Starfish: Nothing will stop my destruction!
Snail: I'm nothing, but... I'm hungry.
"I'm nothing but hungry" FTFY
Caseoh:
Why does two of the slowest animals have some of the most metal names in the animal kingdom? Crown of Thornes vs Giant Tritan, but its a starfish vs a snail.
Lol right
hehehe names be like 👑 vs 😈 but in reality ✳️vs 🐌
Then again, it’s a thicc starfish bigger than a bike tire with 10+ arms covered in venomous spines and a tank of a snail the size of a very big watermelon, so ig they are worthy of their metal names
Some of the most slowest animals on th planet, yet they play some of the biggest rolls on earths eco system .
A Giant Starfish vs a Giant Snail
Imagine being a Cameraman and having to tell your wife that you’re gonna be staying late at work because you have to spend 18 hours filming a Snail chase a Starfish over a distance of 6 feet.
cameraman put them two together for filming purposes
@@Dosadniste2000 that doesn't change the fact that the snail chase that thorn starfish at 6 inch a minute.
If she can understand him talking underwater first
Wife: Ok hon, I'll put your dinner in the fridge.
Cameramen: Why are you so calm?
Wife: Because you being held at work due to a snail and starfish is way better than you being held at the hospital due to a Moray Eel
Not everything can be lions on the Serengeti plane!
Sadly, same thing happened to my place. The whole coral reef area was destroyed by crown of thorns. It's totally dead. You can see crown of thorns every few meters. It only took them 8 months to destroy the whole reef.
Yet they tried to blame it on people.
BestMods168 Because it’s people’s fault, either for hunting the giant triton - crown of thorns’ only natural predator - to extinction or for introducing the crown of thorns to ecosystems where it has no natural predators.
@@BestMods168 humans hunted their predator
*ya buffoon*
It's always your species that mess things up on this
Earth
8 months to destroy sea plants?
Wonder if there is a record for each animals that destroys the environment

PROTECT THAT SNAIL AT ALL COST
Too late they are hunted because it's a delicacy to some
@@uwu--owo Damn Asia
@@uwu--owo Nah, it's poisonous to human's.
@@coffeejack7458 Asia or Italia?
I blame france for this
Takes a big giant badass snail to deal with a big giant badass starfish. I love how the clip is showing a prey very very slowly attempting to outrun its equally slow predator while the narrator says "an active pursuit....a race to the death".
And because these snails were nearly hunted to extinction in the last century by humans to make buttons with their caps, the crown of thorns exploded in population.
Well then we need to hunt the Crow of Thorns to near extinction to balance it out.
Humans are so stupid
@@SirDankleberry then go ahead and hunt them yourself if you are talking about it cuz nature doesn't need its pest(humans) to do its actions
@@RedForeman and they are still stupid till this day but it's good that a few is smarter than the majority cuz oh boy this world is a mess
@@SirDankleberry I think there are actual groups that do that, and there's probably some sort of reward for killing a certain number of them in some coastal city.
I was really worried for mr Triton, especially on that steep bend at such high speeds.
😂😂😂
Wreckless individual he is
"Be careful Mr Triton!" as I shout
The Snail : *"YOU CAN'T ESCAPE ME!!!! I'LL CHASE YOU TO THE ENDS OF THE EEEEEEEEARTH!!!!!!!!!"*
A win for 'Snail-Man'!!!😅😅😅
😂😂😂😂
Lmao I immediately got that reference and even read it in the same voice 👍🏼🤣🤣🤣
"I understood the reference"
I came for your BOTTOM, AND IT WON'T BE CONCENTUAL
That's the slowest chase of prey and predator I've seen
There's also a video where a giant horse conch chases a tulip snail lol.
Look up corals fighting each other lol
Only in the human eye.
In their eyes it is Tokyo drift.
Because they are moving so slowly its easy to imagine them as colossal, made this a really chilling epic battle.
We also have these crown of thorns starfish in the Philippines. They devour coral reefs in no time that's why we have small amount of people who hunt and bury them
Do they just kill them? Or are there benefits to their corpse? Like creating anti venom or something?
@@DadsCigaretteRun yes they kill and bury them, because i remember the blood of these things are not good
@@lalaiideleon oh that sucks, wish they had some uses to bring some cash to the locals a bit better
@@lalaiideleon what's wrong with the blood?
@@GAZAMAN93X it's poisonous
Everyone: gozilla vs king kong is the greatest monster fight in history
Gary and patrick:
For our reefs in Australia, the government needs to put a bounty on these things; a payment per animal removed.
On the snails or starfish?
@@Butterfly-mt5ml the seastar because there aren't enough tritons to hunt the seastars currently. Knock the seastar population down, and with balance, reefs could be given more time to heal
@@coldsobanoodle7407 Ohh aww.. they're so cool looking though! But I don't see the devastation they cause either. I don't know what a Triton is but I'll look it up. Thank you for this information... learn something new every day 😊 I guess all things are beautiful when there's a perfect balance, eh? Our oceans need so much help in so many different aspects. 😔
also they could create a breeding program for those giant snails
Yes join stop adani ,stop landgrabbing of indigenous holy land. Friends ot Earth , seashepherd and many more. 💪 Protect the wonders ot world.
That giant snail while eating it : "Hmm, spicy. I like it"
😂
Thanks for the laugh
I find it interesting that the sea star has the ability to sense danger since they technically do not have a brain, but it does have a way to detect and run away from predators.
Instinct is deeper than the brain
I mean flowers reproduce without a physical brain
if it can sense danger, it must've felt fear. it probably have emotions. 🤔
@@aschconformity7795 bit of a jump m8
Starfish still have neurons and somewhat of a central nervous system that allows for chemical detection and resulting actions
As an Australian every time he says 'coral' I hear 'Carl'
"This bush Carl is no longer alive" 😂
😆 omg now I can’t unheard it
Or, "He's after the hard Carl.." lol
"Barrier Reef, home..."

Man this guy sold me on this evil coral devouring Starfish vs knightly coral defender Snail
never thought i'd say this about a snail, but damn that snail is a badass!
Nature is ALL badassery
I remember scene from Magic roundabout.
Fast too.
@@wavemaker2077 yes, surprisingly fast!
there are surfing snails too
The furious sea snail is going after the dastardly starfish! This is going to be the world's slowest action-packed chase ever recorded on video.
Now in 4k Ultra High definition!
Yay for Garry! We need more like him
I was done with two buckets with popcorn before the climax.
Nature sure loves suspense.
Now I know. Whenever I encounter a Crown of Thorns, out it goes.
Yes please kill them all with extreme prejudice
If they never admitted that this is footage of the depths of Earth’s ocean.. I would totally believe it if they said it was footage of life on another planet.
Technically it is, not all ocean have the same depths. That’s why Mariana’s trench is the “deepest part of the ocean”
You would believe that we got footage of life on an alien planet and this is the first you hear about it?
@@Awesomewithaz probably not, but this is clearly the first time you heard of a metaphor tho
That's why you believe dover island is the surface of mars
Breeding snails seems like a government program worth doing.

I wouldn’t count on the useless woke Australian government to run a sausage sizzle.
This is why I love YT. I’ve never heard of these things and it’s so fascinating, learning about things. Especially in the ocean. Fun fact- At it’s deepest, the ocean is 7 miles deep. The Mariana Trench is amazing to study. Love ocean life! 🐳
About time the crown of thorns finally has a predator capable of actually killing it
Coral reefs may be beautiful but it's a war zone down there
Giant snail: stop you've defiled the law,!!
🟦 The proper word is 'Defied',...
...Not "Defiled".
Sometimes I imagine I'm a Giant Triton slurping on a smoothie pretending it's a Crown of Thorns
These starfish are monstrous. Surely there's a bounty on them.
People tend to just kill them off when they see them. Heck in some places, there are hunting crew that goes after just this starfish. This thing actually provides no benefits to the ecosystem
@@lightingthief4482 they feed triton snails yes?
@@BradyBegeman humans have hunted so much that in some ecosystem they aren't around to kill the starfish
@@BradyBegeman They aren't as plentiful as the crown of thorns and they also eat other starfish, not exclusively the crown of thorns
CoT: You cant win.
Coral Reef: No. But he can.
Giant Snail: *starts crawling*
I didn’t even know these things existed… there’s a lot to learn in the ocean.
This is why government grants for most forms of scientific research is important and productive.
Im sitting here thinkin how difficult it must be to to create ANY sense that you are watching one thing chase another thing without llaying that suspenseful fast paced music.
Play the Benny Hill theme.
It's amazing how the sea creatures in spongebob look so alien irl
I wonder if people are raising a bunch of those snails. Toss them some of those spiny star fishes into the same tank and get their hunting instincts going. The starfish population would be shaking if the snails are released into the sea, when big enough.
This is the most logical approach imo.
First of all, these snails only eats starfish, that would mean they have to fetch starfish to keep them alive in captivity which I would assume would be very time consuming. These snails also have an unknown way of breeding, a lot of marine animals breed according to moon phase and the environment which would be very hard and almost impossible to replicate. Lastly, triton not only eat crown of thorns but they also eat different species of starfish including those that are beneficial. The robots hunting the crown of thorns are the best option there is. Also crown of thorn is really not the result of coral population getting decimated, they are just part of the reason, the number one reason is pollutions so maybe they should start with those.
Just have a chef make some meal with the starfish then label it as a delicacy, the tourist will do the rest and consume them all in a month, way faster than breeding snails. Just let humans kill them like they've hunted all the snails to near extinction.
@@DrakeOola the meat is toxic
@@DrakeOola there's a guy working on that, but what little of the Crown of Thorns that's even somewhat edible tastes like a mile of burnt ass
Oh wow, that's the strangest high speed chase I've ever seen
That last starfish is such a cool looking creature. It’s coloration is awesome. I just hope they go easy on the coral.
0:55 Very sad for this fellow named Carl, being starfish food must not be fun
Great camera angles of the two creatures ! Well done
That has to be the best slo-mo action scene.
Nature never ceases to amaze me!!
This is a strange planet we live on. We don't have to go to other planets to find aliens, all we have to do is look in our oceans 😳
I rather not, go to the ocean I mean
An epic duel to the death that happens in natural slow motion lol
I love the spectating sea urchin in the end being like:
You gonna eat the whole thing at once?
I love how he's trying to make it dramatic
This chase scene reminds me of the scene in Austin Powers where he's driving over a bad guy in a roller compactor.
Lol true 😂😂😂😂
The epic music over the extremely slow chase is just too funny
Snail: "Spiny Starfish - YUMMY!"
"Burp. Hey got a toothpick?"
“Starfish DESTROYED by Snail with facts and logic!”
Giant Snail to Starfish:
"Finally a worthy opponent, our battle will be culinary"
Kudos to the entire team, this feels and is shot like an underwater thriller and soap opera (and it rocks)
That was the most slow but suspenseful chase ever
After studying marine ecology, i feel sad about 6:54
Basically, coral rubble (Calsium debris/dead corals) can be a substrate for another succession on corals
The problem is, the subtrate is also suitable for algae. Yet, algae's life and environment niche (water quality tolerance) is greater than coral polyps, which means they are superior to succeed rather than polyps.
Well yes they can produce O2, but they can alter shallow water fish breeding grounds, eventually lead to lessen the biodiversity of the area...
That chase was like the polar opposite of a cheetah chasing a gazelle.
Crown of thorns starfish: I'M UNSTOPPABLE!!!
Snail: Hey man, I'm gonna eat you
Oh no! Giant Garry ate Spiky Patrick!
Someone give these snails a raise
Yellow starfish: just chillin
Giant Triton: You have chosen death
This gotta be the slowest chase in world history 😂😂
I did a presentation on the Crown of Thorns sea star in primary school on their impact on coral reefs probably back in 2002 or so. I'm today years old and learning that they actually have a predator with an immunity to their poison. Freakin' love the internet.
Oh, dang it, if the starfish are poisonous then they can't be put on human menus.
Best kaiju fight ever...
The sound effects, music and commentary is great
2:42 that fast paced music for a snail chasing a starfish is almost comical.
That chase though. They were going so fast, it looked as if all time slowed down.
that's some high speed chase right there
~other snails
Triton snail chasing starfish scene is like "Gas, Gas, GAS, I'm gonna step on the gas!..."
All I hear is the snail yelling in Patrick's voice "nooooooooo" while the snails says "meow"
The snails really do hold the line.
Protect these snails!
Haha I love the epic chase music for two creatures moving an inch a minute.
Intro:
Me: Damn the trailer for Subnautica 2 looks hype!
Narrator:
Me: …it was a documentary?
So now we have one snail boi to protect, and a spiky starfish to murder
Also I like how they do these “intense” slow motion chases and short range but slow hunts
how slow coral grows and how fast the crown of thorns eats I wonder if there will be any coral reefs left a few years from now
These starfish have omly become a problem in recent years.
1) In the Victorian Era we hunted these snails to near extinction... To make buttons from their caps.
2) The acidification of the oceans is killing the snails as their shells are alkaline based so the shells slowly dissolve and then some random hungry fish eats the defenceless snail.
Theres still a lot of coral in the oceans but we need to make sure to protect it.
These starfish are just as important in coral reefs, corals can be as invasive too, but their predators were being hunted increasingly their numbers and making the ecology of reef out of balance.
Ok but why do sea creatures have such cool names? Crown of Thorns, Giant Triton... Anyway, who would've thought that the hero of the Earth would be a snail. xD
I love how the snail gets genuinely ominous boss music
Thrillingly so intense 😂
Geez, the Crown of Thorns is like a literal monster, and the fact that it's naturally occurring blows my mind. Like had it not been for the snail, this NATURAL organism would destroy it's balance
Every organism is just trying to survive unknowing of it's impact on the grand scale. The crown of thorns isn't a monster for eating coral as the snail is it's check and balance, as sharks are to fish who eat coral. No monsters, just beautiful fascinating nature
Humans hunted the Triton (giant sea snail) to near extinction. Have you not heard about the reefs around the world being destroyed? That balance is long gone and it's never coming back because when we fix 1 problem and cause 100 more with it. Seriously doubt the earth will be habitable within the next 150 years because of one thing.. the first parasite that can attach itself to a planet, humans.
The fast paced action was thrilling!
These slow pace chases with epic music are absolutely hillarious
Slow down I’m only human! How am I supposed to follow this extreme speed chase?! I’m not Superman!
This is the slowest chase I've ever seen
The best chasing videos ive'd ever seen
The snail eating the starfish......"i like foods that have their own spice packet!"
there should be more of these predatory giant snails
Do they have open hunting on these monsters like they do lionfish off the U.S. coast?
In Australia yes, government sponsored culling
"Race to the death."
Me bring the snail to the starfish : d i e
I was at the edge of my seat the whole time during the high speed chase.
How do they film this.
With a camera and a cameraman
Vegans be like: don't say nasty things about the starfish, it has just as much of right to live as any other animal.
They normally do, sadly we killed its predators so now is necessary to control it
Patrick: SPONGEBOB!!!!
Spongebob: GARY! LEAVE PATRICK ALONE! HES NOT FOOD!
That slowest chase with action movie background music 🤣
All jokes aside, triton snails are really cool, which is why they're one of my favorite types of snail.
*The O.J low speed pursuit of the sea.* Why did they say the snail 'developed immunity' to the starfish venom? How would they know that? They have probably always been immune.
Probably because there are other sea snails that aren't immune to the venom. So we can assume these ones also weren't immune in the past.
Everything in nature is designed and created by Jesus Christ.. It is doing what He has designed them to do in all of His brilliance. Nature is just evidence of God.. How can you believe all of this glory and splendor just simply evolved from nothing.. How can you believe that the universe just put itself together? If it exploded then the nature of it would be chaos but there was a higher power that brought order out of chaos.. That higher power was not the universe it was Jesus Christ.. He loves you and died for your sins.. Repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ and receive the gift of the Holy Ghost that God has for you! (Acts 2:37-38).. Much love in Christ ❤️🔥

Also you’re getting that wrong. God built the universe in a week, brought light on the fourth day, and rested on Sabbath. Jesus came later.

Star Fish: Panics and begins to run.

These creatures moving at near 1inch every 2 seconds with the dramatic chase music makes it pretty funny lmao
