My greatest fear in life is being somewhere I think is safe and hearing David Attenborough's voice say, "but little did he know"
😂😂
Lolll
That’s epic!
😂😂😂
"...that those cute, sweet creatures with a surface so soft and gentle, hide a vicious honey trap, so delightful to him, yet so deadly. A slow, sweet death, if anything."
"After a thousand years of living in this city, pigeons are now having to learn to avoid - A FISH!" 😄
No respect for the fishies!
Boyo. that fish will slap you right.
Cat fish lol
After a thousand years of living in this city, catfish have developed a taste for - PIGEONS!
@@TheZombieeeeeeenah. He said the catfish were introduced like 40 yrs ago
Pigeon chilling on the side of the river: Why do I hear boss music and David Attenborough's voice?
uh oh... 😮
But can the catfish digest pigeon claws and beak?
Imagine going fishing and you have a fake pigeon as a lure lmao
I have seen duckling lures before. Their little feet kick when reeled in to simulate one swimming on the surface
I use duck and rat lures for pike
well they can't see well. they only catch them by the movement they make in the water. it won't work
@@DavGonn No it would work
Not a bad idea
Bird: "We have evolved to soar the skies and look down on you!"
Fish: >°_°< "come here and drink your water."
😂
😂😂👌🏽
That is a very precise catfish face, my man.
It's like a miniature version of a crocodile attacking wild animals in the rivers, almost exactly the same. Same music, same sounds, same type of death.
Exactly
Same narrator
@@williamthatsmynamehahahahahahahaha
Lol, now that you said that it's almost cute
Or an Urban Killer Whale!
Cats will always be cats
I know, right?
David Attenborough you made my childhood special
🙄🥱
God bless you Kid❤
great childhood taste buddy 🎉
Cringey Commenter Andy 🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮
@@evilgibson ninte appande andi..polayadi mone
big up to the videographers of this production
Big up to the catfish
The pigeons: I’m moving to new york city!
😂😂
Me. To
😂
Wait'll they meet the peregrine falcons . . .
Now they're gonna be hunted down by the "Hoermlerss huemenn" animal
Wow! It’s incredible how accurate they seem! I first learned about the Wells catfish from Jeremy Wade on “River Monsters”. They really are river monsters!
Understatement pure muscle if you catch one you soon know about it
Same!!! I fell in love with the Goliath tiger fish!
Damn you're foxy
Adaptation
they have access to the best gyms at river bottoms
His voice is so calming...
You're a kid that's scared by loud voices, aren't you?
@@leftylou6070I’m an adult and I think his voice is calming too 🤣
So it’s basically a crocodilian animal in fish form.
It's basically a catfish.
Well well well
Who could thought a catfish could do that
Catfish is succesfull fish in the world they are exist in every part of water in the even in ocean exist catfish
Introduced by humans
Yeah, it's the same ambush predator strategy that crocodiles use. Interesting to see a fish use it.
10,000 years later, those fish gonna be hunting on land!
This being free is really a blessing, considering the hardworking camera crew, musicians and GOAT narrator.
Edit : editors too
I am always wondering how David Attenborough narration could be so deep and charismatic. To make it more impressive how effortless he pulled it out..
Cant even bathe peacefully in nature
Everything has to eat 😒
Nope! No skinny dipping!
It's called the food chain
U see data tu
Nope , something large and hungry watching
Love that the Plant Earth series goes to amazing locations like Antarctica and South America, then once all the animals there have been filmed, they end up going to film pigeons in the south of France!
And that's actually a new frontier.
How alien species adapt to a new environment and even be more advanced than their cousins in the natural habitat
This episode was about creatures adapting in urban areas
“Yeah Boss, we’Il make sure he sleeps with the fishes tonight.”
- Lieutenants taking the Don’s kid to the overnight aquarium field trip while the boss feeds a rival to these catfish.
The Ferocity of the Cat Fish in France. 😳!
That's a Fierce French Fish indeed. 🇫🇷😏
Every Fish is a gangster until they meet Eagle 🦅 😢😮
😂😂😂not all
An adult wels catfish of 2.0-2.5m (and more...) and 100+ kg has nothing to fear from any eagle. By the way, like any other fish, the wels catfish grows as long as it lives, so under the right circumstances it can even grow larger than 3 meters. Historical sources report wels catfish up to 5 m long, although this is highly disputed today.
@@NaDa4swf are they edible? sounds like a good food source
@@geophat75 we cooked catfish not long ago, nothing special
@@geophat75 yes, they're edible, but the bigger the wels gets, the less tasty it is and, since wels are top of the foodchain, the more pollutants have accumulated in the fish (just as with every other top predator in any polluted water). But smaller ones (+- 1m) are very good eating.
So, just to correct one thing, those did not exterminate anything and fossil records show that they were present in the Rhone region before the previous glaciation. What i mean is that it does not act as an invasive in this ecosystem.
but don't they eat other fish? draining out the rest of the species' population?
I don't know how to tell you this, but there have been some mild changes to the local ecology since the last glaciation period.
first ever fish: "ayo this surface dweller is bussin ngl"
Pigeons will learn that and find other sources of water. They are smart. Much smarter than you imagine.
Smart...
Birds, in general, are smart. However, pigeons are among the dumbest of a smart, uh, group.
The harrowing escape and the powerful imagery of the pigeon with chunks of tail feathers missing is just fantastic. Also, the Wels catfish is terrifying, so please can we not take them to even more rivers outside of their natural range?
We need more of these in urban areas...
we surely don't need more invasive animals introduced to ecosystems.
Actually it is humans who devoured their habitat, so they really have no choice in the matter. In my country people call them the flying rats, I find them quite beautiful, and considering that the fish was introduced to this area some time ago, it was pigeons again facing the consequences. I suppose there is always two sides of the story 😊
@@sanjastesna i believe we domesticated pigeons and if we want to look at this story from all points of view, since we are part of nature then it's only "natural" that we did the best we could to guarantee our survival. from domesticating animals to introducing invasive species to other habitats and if we want to go one step further even what we are doing in regard to fossil fuels is only "natural" because we are not doing something against the "rules of nature", anything that exists is "natural" , else it wouldn't have been able to exist. and if we go on to go extinct then it's only natural and part of the circle of nature. earth doesn't care about us, nature does not care about us and in future when earth turns into a barren ball in space, i'm sure it will not care if we exist or not.
@@owlmananthropomorphic9418 Call me pragmatic, but having resources and ability to survive, ensure and extende the expiry date, doesn't have to include senseless domination and rivalry with other species around. Survival of one race always depends how agile and quick to adapt they really are. This fish in the video proves it.
Still humanity has this higher note about themselves so it's achievable to built instead of destroy, and protect instead of harm, all the while keeping ourselves at the top of our food chain. I do agree with certain points, and I do enjoy discussing things. It's all valid points, but I think there's more to it 😊
@@sanjastesna i agree. unfortunately from the time we started recording history we have been waging wars and to this day we haven't been able to find a common ground inside the boundaries of our own species, let alone caring about other species and the planet hosting us. I struggled for years, trying to understand, in the end i gave up. It is what it is and as sad and frustrating it is, it's gonna continue till our extinction and it's a shame...I do enjoy conversations too. Thanks!
You have got to love David A.
that catfish is an absolute BEAST!
God bless David Attenborough! He forged my love for animals ❤
We are witnessing evolution in progress.
😆 in my country this fish used to be accused of missing local fisherman decades ago..and got living eyewitness watchin it snatch a small monkey tht sitting on lower branch while it tails touching the river surface.
This is a European fish. There’s no monkeys in Europe
@@kunaiwithchain5278Catfish are found in many continents. It's not a European fish. The narrator even says in the video, catfish aren't native to France, someone introduced them there relatively recently.
Humans get catfished more than pigeons ever will
Impressive. Very nice. Let’s see Paul Allen’s catfish.
Sir David Attenborough just made my day-- AGAIN.
Daddy Catfish asks Mama Catfish, "Hey Babe, what's for supper?" Mama Catfish says, "Squab".
Pigeon: "Hey guys! Something looks fishy here..."
OMG!!!!!.
That was amazing and a little bit creepy😮😮.
Greetings from México 🇲🇽, Mr. Attenborough!!!!!!
Billy the Fish's catlike reflexes win the day for Olympique Fulchestre in Ligue 1.
Thanks for meaningful and valuable video as always ❤❤❤
Beautiful scenes just looking like a wow ❤❤
When i used to live out in peterborough ontario and would go fishing with my dad we caught catfish and even large mouth bass with small birds something like a sparrow in it stomach and people would tell stories of even bigger birds being found in the asian carp out there too
Earth mother ... Amazing
The one that got eaten just because the catfish caught his little foot 😢
This is nature death will catch us by surprise sometimes
Who cares ?
رائع جدا اتمنى ان يستمر المحتوى وشكرا لكم 🤍🤍
On land, pigeons are hunted by cats, on water by catfishes. To complete the puzzle, we need to find the elusive catbirds🤭. Okay, actually catbirds are real but they don't eat pigeons, they just make sound that is similar to meowing, but who knows, give them a few decades, they might change their diets too🤭.
We got raptor to hunt them in the sky but they rarely nest in urban places i guess? There's a large population of pigeons near my condo but they dont have any natural enemies (I have sometimes spotted crows eating corpses run over by cars tho but no hunting)
@@cookieguy2640Raptor? 🤔
@@ytsux9259 basically birds of prey that hunt by swooping down on their prey. Like eagles, hawks, falcons and owls
Owls hunt pigeons too and yes are cat birds
Well there are catnirds they are called owls
I remember the childhood days when my grandfather and I sat and listened to David Attenborough tell stories
Fascinating and frightening at the same time
From 0:08 to 0:15 incredible footage, capturing all that natural beauty.
The fish that hunts everything!
Pigeon lures will now be a thing when fishing for Wells Catfish 🤣
Sheesh that camera work is A+!
respect to the fish that managed to capture all this
Beautiful moment
Wild always learning something new!
1:28 Midget fish: Yeehaoww!
So fish cats are more successful than land cats. Cool.
Those are called catfishes, not fish cats 😅😅😅
Land cats are *extremely* successful.
That went Well !
At the base of the dam on Grandlake in Oklahoma they were finding catfish in excess of 6 feet long down there when they scuba dived to check on the structure of the dam. Larger than a man.
Finally someone getting rid of those damn pigeons
people used to eat Pigeons as well but Chicken and Turkey became to popular
love it!! love it love it!!!
My favorite fish ❤
The beauty of creation.
Evolution
@@jaredbaratta8589 it's creation for me since evolution is still in the theory stages.
@@elyzky1, look at what Richard Dawkins & Christopher Hitchens have to say as what, in that context, theory actually means.
@@elyzky1 Gravity is also a theory
@@RayRai8262 Gravity isn't a theory. It's a law that has been proven time and again.
Explains evolution pretty well! Maybe this is how we became amphibious from being sea dwelling. We too might have started hunting along the bank before becoming terrestrial and then turning into a land based animal!
If they could now evolve to walk into city’s that would be impressive
Well done fishy! Good job fishy!😁👌
Given what I know of catfish, with chemoreceptors all over their skin, they're like one big mobile tongue, so developing a taste for pigeon would be quite literal.
Incredible 🙌
Wow! Turtles also eat pigeons and various birds in Oklahoma and elsewhere. Found a stork leg in a large catfish we caught and cleaned one time.
Wels catfishes are Dark Souls' bosses for pigeons
*taking notes
"River chicken trumps City chicken"
Pigeon got CATFISHED 😂😂😂
Bravo Lele 😅
Bald eagle entered the chat 🦅
From bottom feeder to apex predator awesome
Fascinating
pigeon be like "oh no"
Catfish 😮
I love those fish!
wOw that's awesome
The French will eat snails and frogs' legs, so I'm surprised they haven't started eating these catfish. They are big enough to make a good meal for several people.
Maybe this species doesn't taste very good? I've only known the taste of catfish from the US.
@@terriwetz6077 Wikipedia says they're only good when small, the big ones are fatty and possibly toxic.
@s10m0t10n They also grow big enough to make a meal OF several people. These days examples of more than 6 foot are rare, but have been recorded at nearly 300 pounds. Personally I wouldn't let small children play at the water's edge. There has not been a CONFIRMED human attack, but stories and claims have been made.
The French have limits, not the Chinese, if it moves, it will be eaten
They’re toxic and taste bland.
Amazing
Next documentary- "The Ant That Eats Anteaters"
Thats pretty amazing !!
Oh my god! That's so unexpected. We made a list with the top 10 weirdest moments in nature, and this could definitely make it to our list!
Achtung JagdPigeoner!
Dondozo be taking names.
Gelungenes Video. Gruss Jürgen 🤠
And one day the catfish learned a very valuable lesson when it mistakenly pulled an Eagle inside the water! 😢
Unfortunately he is no more to tell the tale but the witnesses have gone cold since. 😢
You know these particular catfish can grow big enough to hunt things heavier then Eagles right and the fish are basically pure muscle.
@@Kakarot64. Oh! That’s interesting to know.
I saw it in real life, I was flabbergasted.
The fish saw crocodile's homework and decided it looked good and copied them
"Hey does this taste like chicken or what?" an anonymous Catfish...
"how's the water"?... "it's greabblllbrble burbleburble"
If they start hunting non water animals, it means no more enough foods for them in the water.
They either cannibal or try those birds. Usually, cannibalism is common in catfish. That's why they reach such size. The smaller ones had been eaten.
Awesome
Amazing video. Catfish are kind of scary.
When i saw a fish that hunts pigeons. I had to watch !!
Wow. I have never seen a fish hunting like that.
Governments now have to hire FISH to control the pigeon population? 😂
This episode reminds me of River Monsters. Perhaps Jeremy Wade can start fishing for them using pigeons
Pigeon: It isn't as dramatic as he sounds. Catfish my foot. 😂
