Sir David Attenborough is the best wildlife narrator. He's 97 years old and still going strong
Any day now too
Daym he’s 97
I didn’t know this fact. This is amazing.
11:22 i still cant get over the fact that this beetle jist kicks the ants like footballs here
😂😂😂😂
TWO POINTS!
The TF2 dub is even funnier.
34:05 the best story ever... I mean this guy after the "work" just knocked down the lady 😂 unbelivable😂😂😂
How do they get footage inside these antholes. You guys deserve so much credit
In the documentary series “life in the undergrowth” they show how they record insects with fiber optics cameras. It’s pretty neat
Even the sound of the insets scurrying across the ground!
thats just added in post@@nightlightabcd
They just strap a go-pro to the back of an ant 😀
@@nightlightabcdsounds are most likely a post-production sound editing
Kudos to Ant cameraman who decided to record this whole event for us and also missed the whole feast in doing so....
That beetle just kicking those ants at 11:40 is perfect ❤😂
TWO POINTS!
*The Stag Beetle’s “Four F” motto;*
Find ‘em,
Feel ‘em,
F__k ‘em
&
FLING ‘EM! 😂
Haha, nice variation on the old adage!
"She kills him anyways"
Spider life is tough
hehehhe
Surah Ankabut (The Spider) verse 41 .. The parable of those who take protectors other than Allah is that of the spider, who builds (to itself) a house; but truly the flimsiest of houses is the spider's house;- if they but knew. ...
@@mohammedaiyaad4546
None here care about Allah. We came to this video to watch nature. Rotten deity anyway. The human race was doomed the minute we came up with monotheism.
That lizard mimicking the beetle 😂😂
Cicada:"Can I go to school mom?"
Mom cicada:"Nope, you're the feeding-predators sibling"
I think the BBC missed an opportunity here. The importance of 17 was missed: It's a 'relatively' large Prime Number.
Some predators might also have breeding cycles longer than one year. The number 17 is a number than cannot be relied upon by any predator with a breeding cycle of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 etc years. But 15, 16 or 18 years would make them more vulnerable to two or more of these much shorter cycles.
Yes, a breeding cycle of 1 year catches everything, but they generally cannot afford to wait 17 years for a big meal. The fascinating question is how did Cicadas evolve to for their biology to count up to 17? (and why not 11 or 13?) The BBC didn't try to explain.
In the US there are different types. They all follow their own prime number of set of years. The why not is exactly what Nature thought
These documentaries are phenomenal
I felt sorry for that snail in the beginning but damn he held it's own.
How are u so dumb to think that’s a snail? The video said many times it’s a slug and the lack of a shell should tell you that 🤦♀️
Def surprised at the defense system being able to goo them up. Did not see that coming
The stag beetle is hilarious. Just throws her off after he was done with her like, "Well thanks for everything girl. Time to get off my tree now." 😂😂
That shiiiiite Cracked me up,lol
The time, work, patience to get these videos/films is beyond me. Thank you film crew, everyone.
You ain't a kiddin'! Can you imagine all the work (and equipment) that went into the Stag Beetle video? The footage showing the beetles tree climbing POV required a camera attached to a cable with a pulley. All the shots of defeated beetles, sailing back to the (re)starting point, must have taken a few days, as those weren't just different shots of the same beetle cruisin' downward! Nope, those are all different beetles! Lots of competition for the one girl - she must be a real honey, from a bug-eyed perspective! I can't see it... I mean, she's nice looking, and all, but no Venus de Buglio, IMO...
This amazing documentary clips made me feel sorry for a slug, root for a cute jumping spider looking for love, be totally in awe of warring ants and wasps with battle scenes better than any period drama. 🤩
Right? And the poor ant gets eaten in the end. I guess there are worse ways to go -He had one last hurrah!
The defensive stance of the king cobra was menacing, but it's a bit problematic to find fascination in such deadly creatures, right?
Jeez. Slugs do everything slow, even death.
It's all beautiful till the time it doesn't step inside our house!
11:42 This part is very amazing
The snail eating the worm man... that was the hardest thing to watch, imagined the worm inside the snail wigling around bahhh.. 6000 teeths is amazing tho
I live half the year in Canada and half in Thailand just outside Chaing Mai. The Cicadas bloomed about 5 years ago, what a racket. There were millions dead on the roads, our driveway was full. My wife had never experienced this either. When it first started it was alarming
Seeing the playful but fierce interactions of the otters was cute, however, should we be entertained by their mock battles?
The intelligence of the ants is stunning
Some believed that the next civilization that Evolves after humans will be ants or orcas and we would be the elders race to them 😂
@@zondor8123 it'd be neither so long as a single primate species survive our destruction.
It's more collective intelligence, 1 single ant can't really do anything revolutionary but 1 human can.
*Incredible* video footage of crazy creatures!! Love it. Thank you. 👍🏼
Excellent footage and narration. Thanks!
Listening to narration by Sir David makes me wonder what a marvellous achievement by a man of his age! May he keep going strong n healthy!
9:41 that thing is a monster
5:40 music to my ears. you should listen too! 👍🏼
Absolutely amazing, kudos, to the BBC
crew, they do great work in filming these amazing insects.
The Scary World of Creepy Crawlies | BBC Earth. 12.11.23. I reckon that an evertonian bloke who kept normal run of the mill UK garden snails in captivity would have succeeded in growing said snail to the size of his fist....easy.
The power struggle between the eagles was majestic, however, it's a bit contentious, right?
@@3winanimal ???????????????????? you mean the rock band?
11:43 **insert funny popular videogame character**
Thanks, for sharing❤
I'm so grossed out.
Poor little slug 🐛 bug.
Poor thing. So sad
It’s not sad the ants have to eat.
Without the ants the slugs will overrun the forests ~
I'm not.
It's nature and it's normal
Amazing camera angles. Awesome footage!
Creepy crawlies are everywhere, which one do you find the creepiest?
Spiders African Beatles they shoot things out of their ass no thanks
Probably centipedes, Scutigera in particular, they are very creepy and very crawly too
@@felixbaumgartner5474 For me it's gotta be scolopendra but hey nice to see we're ok the same wavelength! 😂
Female trapdoor spiders in Western Australia that can live over 40 years. And an over 20 year old female tree funnel web in the north of New South Wales in Australia that a guy has been visiting for 2 decades in the same tree is also a good candidate. Not so much creepy, just amazing!
The ones that my autistic daughter 'deconstructs' and puts in my bed 😳
The Female Jumping Spider was probably saying will you keep still
Bugs are so lovingly creepy
So fascinating 😊
''He matched her expectations but she kills him anyway'' 18:00
Look at them...They're just amazing little animals
Here in my country we have the cicadas every year, during spring.
Hail from Brazil ✌
I’m watching this to distract myself from thinking about my ex 😂
Nothing shall help you mate, be a man, face it. You didn't find yourself at the dump. You're better than these.
Hit the gym instead
Ik that feeling my homie🤝🏼
@@duanechism273 Thanks! I’m gonna do that as well. But, at midnight when I’m wide awake, BBC nature videos help.
@@Markelloreal Thanks, bro!
24:58 this is why you should NEVER mess with an ant pile
Yes, scary enough for Halloween!
i stuck here for watching BBC Earth Docus!!!!! Wonderful and Brilliant. Awesome and cruel at once! What Pictures the Filmmakers deliver is amazing! Kisses and hugs to all of the Filmmakers and Crews that make this possible! For sure, without you we never see that wildlife and with your informations of this creatures you complete knowledge in a serious way. Should be shown in Schools, help teachers to train kids and students to make Earth a better place! We need that understanding to do well and for knowing how we should protect our world! At the end i just wanna say: Many, many Thanks (from a German Fan) to you.
Human beings are more creeper than this 🤧
the spider one i’m cryinggghg
Beautiful as raw nature, beautiful fillempt❤
Thanks the info.
I've come to love the creepy crawlers
Extraordinary...❤❤
Arthropods are freakin' amazing !!!
Hell yeahh!!!
What an insight on what mother nature has created way beyond our everyday hustle bustle of life, work, family, and leisure. Amazing ❤️🩹
At this moment of the video 11:32 The narrator says “The valiant ants drive him off into real danger : Amongus” 😂😂😂
* a mongoose
@@randomhunter47 I know
Or the ATV.
Absolutely fascinating stuff. I would like to see a programme about the scorpians living in a wall in Sheerness.
Amazing!
Mr. Cicada..... THIS is your LIFE! You were born 17 years ago, spent all 17 of them underground doing nothing but sucking tree roots until that great day when you dug out and climbed up that huge tree. Then you mated and died 3 days later. What a great life! What a great god we worship!
I can't believe I'm crying over a lizard copying a beetle's gait 😭
Respect to camera that took these footage
Better check my bed tonight for creepy crawlers
ayo that slug put up a damn good fight though
The dedication thís team of documentary film makers show is simply incredible - the way all the separate elements come together to produce such amazing results makes me proud of my ppl, the hoomon race
Very interesting !!❤
36:54 why did he do that?? 😂 yeet
I never thought i would be afraid of a snail before.
Excelente!!
Love that dancing guy though, looks like my best friend trying to impress his crush
Really lively
10:39 My favorite!
Very nice show
How do you take footage inside these holes you guys deserve so much credit
5:07 wow! 🫢 those are a lot of cicadas
More about the Devil Riders, please. I have them in my yard, but unfortunately I'm not BBC Earth, and don't know much about them.
good luck is all i can say
He did all that work then threw her ass out the tree. 😂😂😂
I read a neat theory that part of how locust swarms move could be because of cannibalism, there's a constant fleeing and chasing that causes them to all move together
21:48 That's not a gruesome heading at all! Hey kids! Come watch this!
14:9 literally me sharting at 3 am
... @ 17:20... " I WANT SNOO SNOO... "… 🕷️
Dudes out here living like a stag beetle
First 3 mins terrified me 😮
ta jaszczura udająca chrząszcza jest zajebista :)
That beetle is like a guy with a flamethrower!
We’re due this year for our cicadas. What a life! Awaken, crawl out of the ground up a tree. Make loud noises, mate, lay eggs, go back underground.
Run slug run!
would ABSOLUTELY LOVE Ze Frank to voiceover the entirety of this video.
That beetle 🪲 kicks send ants flying was hilarious 😂
TWO POINTS!
The beetle fighting his way to female is so romantic
...That ain't it chief.
29:19 got that title a bit backwards, I'd say, given the outcome.
Scary world of creepy crawly and more stories
I love the spider dance
36:54 - as a follover, I've already seen it, but it's still funn, this dude is incredibly brutal=)
so cool🐛
6:40 boyaaaa, times are GOOD! Get them cicada on the grill, Bobby! It's BBQ TIME!!!!
Not sure what's so amazing about the bombardier beetle. I experience the same thing after an all you can eat ghost pepper wing night 😂
These Periodical Cicadas are edible for humans also.
George Page is my favorite narrator, Lorne Greene is 2nd and then David Keith is 3rd in my list.
15:20 when that praying mantis side eyes the spider on his way to the female 👀 😂😂😂 he was like "I know you saw your boys body over there... shes not even cute" 🙄
Hmuhnawm khawp mai👍🏿👍🏿
I remember before kindergarten when I was very small I had a baby sitter missy. She was maybe the most prolific person when It came to swearing and being crazy. I found a giant zebra slug and I was studying it and she walked up and instantly stomped it under her foot. It really really really upset me, one second I have a slug friend and the next second it's splattered. I haven't thought of that In a very long time.
when ants wield soil for slug slime as a tool,this next level shit blow my mind.
I will watch when Im not trying to sleep lol
I love bugs!!! And nature!!!
17:81 at this point it looks like he's just taunting her
Wait a minute! Pigs gone wild are supposed to be recent events in terms of evolution. How can a weta cope with such a new type of threat that neatly? Very intriguing!
Likely a holdover from older threats now extinct from human activity if I had to gander. Giant birds used to rule the island, who's to say there wasn't an insectivore?
@@ethanotoroculus1060 excellent! Concise & precise. Embarrassing at the same time, for my short-sighted view on evolutionary events revealed. Evolution means history. So glad to have a comment like yours!
