The spider’s sounds in general were cool enough to make the scene more epic. The plucking of the web strings and the sound of it landing the attack, for example.
The jumping spider plucking the other spider's web to lure it into attack range makes me think of a siren sitting on the beach playing a harp as a ship sails by.

@@eukaryotic366 Yeah that was all kinds of fucked up. Ever hear the story of the cute children's movie Milo and Otis? I'd suggest Googling it, but it's hard to read. Some people are monsters.
BBC has also gotten caught staging nature documentary stuff dishonestly, but they certainly do it far less that natgeo for example, who have long insisted on inventing nonsensical humanizing movie plots for all sorts of animals they film and then wildly splicing together footage out of order to make it tell a story instead of showing what the depicted creatures were actually doing.
The Portia the jumping spider segment was so incredible. The way they narrated it and explained the thinking and actions of the spider was so incredible and wonderful. Absolutely amazing!

@@kingjames4886 erm- i will never see mudskippers as the cute creatures i thought they were. they are not cute, no no definitely not, but they are incredibly funny HAHHAHAHA
I must admit, I have a huge soft spot for mudskippers, especially the tiny species. The story goes on to show how he looks after the eggs in his tunnel. I could watch an entire hour-long show on this species alone!
This short, little segment is fascinating, in particular the Portia Spider and the Mudskipper Fish. The Flamingo was interesting, too. I never knew they flew so high and gathered in that great numbers.
Mudskippers are awesome! 😍 Did you know that they are absorbing air directly through their skin? We followed different species of mudskippers at the Indo-Pacific islands to get to know these bizarre-looking creatures’.
I'm guessing thats why they have to stay wet? The dryer the harder to absorb oxygen? Would be cool to research their hormonal systems and see if their CNS activates their roll (like a reflex) because of the Co2 in their blood. Im guessing they have a similar hormonal system to humans where higher Co2 in the blood gives the diafragma a autonomous reflex to expand, but instead of lungs they ofcourse roll.
@@llamacannon1714 Their osmoregulatory mechanisms are highly flexible & there are several different hormones involved in the amphibious habits of mudskippers. So you're definitely right, it would be a good research topic! 🔬 Thanks for the input! :)

He also allowed for animals to evolve to suit the constantly changing environments. Cause let's be real, if animals couldn't evolve, they would die just a few generations into the creation.
@@thx4chrckingin It would take GOD himself to tell believers he wasn't real, but even then if GOD himself told a believer he wasn't real, they still wouldn't believe it because he just told them. Fact is that according to the bible at least Humans were a specific creation made from scratch out of the dust of the ground. According to bible chronology that was around 7016 years ago, give or take 100 years or so because of the way they rounded number off. Josh was 77 when he fathered John, John was 62, when he fathered Bob, etc. So there is no way of knowing if Josh was almost 78 adding almost an entire year to the timeline. Still it gets us close. So if GOD magically created humans around 7,000 years ago from dust then we shouldn't have any pollution from other lifeforms in our DNA. Instead what we see is that the vast majority of our DNA is actually left over junk from evolution or infection. We have junk DNA from viruses that haven't existed on Earth for 300,000 years. So why would GOD ALMIGHTY intentionally and specifically create humans from scratch 7,000 years ago and again, intentionally and specifically fill 80% of our DNA with junk from extinct species of animals and diseases that haven't existed for hundreds of thousands of years. Why would we even need DNA coding that has no contribution whatsoever to who we are, how we grow etc. It would be like Microsoft releasing a brand new version of windows not based at all on previous version but including 5 times as much data in the form of tiny torn off pieces of photos that are meaningless and useless. If god existed and he actually did that on purpose, it would certainly take out the "intelligent" part of his intelligent design. Ultimately people don't want to be alone. So they create an imaginary friend that is always with them. They dont want to be scared, certainly not scared of the future or death. So they imagine their friend has all the answers and will somehow preserve them in a magical form after their life ends. They want their enemies to suffer. So they imagine their friend is vengeful and protective of them. Even to the point of punishing your enemies for eternity in a horrible and disgusting manner. They miss their friends and family who have died, so they imagine their friend will somehow reunite them because its easier than accepting death, grieving, and moving on. They can't logically justify why they think some things are right and others are wrong so they give credit for their moral choices to their imaginary friend which they feel confirms their choices. Much like a child saying "im right arnt i mom, arn't I, Mom! arn't I right?" Except that their mom actually exist and that her agreement doesn't establish an opinion as fact. While most of us give up imaginary friends as we grow up, some have dove so deeply into the role that they retain these beliefs as adults reinforced by other adults who didn't want to give up their childish fantasies either. Inevitably in every situation where there is an adult child running loose in the world or worse many, there will be those who take advantage of them. Their imaginary friend becomes a sort of security blanket. So the predator, usually call a preacher, paster, father, etc. Basically tells them that their security blanket will be taken from them and they will be sad, UNLESS you do what the predator says.

Also very common is armed robbery. This again is where they threaten your "soul" which they have convinced you is the essence of who you are beyond your body with eternal damnation and torture unless you "please god" by giving this con artist your money. Its almost funny in a sick sort of way that we live in a society that would never stand by and allow a child to be taken advantage of by a predator, but if you are unable to shed childish beliefs as an adult its somehow ok not only to do it to individuals but to 10s of millions of people all at once.

Portia, the Spider was mesmerizing. Wow! What a beautiful Garden of Eden we live in. I loved the Mudskippers! Fish or Frog or both? What incredible animals!!!
Snakes changing their entire anatomy, organ layout, jaw shape, hunting behaviour and so forth to become legless all terrain animals that can eat and digest larger prey than you’d expect definitely deserve a mention. They are such fascinating animals
Impressive spider... extremely amazed by it's hunting skills... truly similar to a 007 agent... the ability to formulate a plan n see into the future n to execute that plan is genius... a mind like Nikola Tesla... overwhelmed with emotion... I am extremely grateful... hat off to the team to produce such accurate information... beautifully narrated...
These are some of the most interesting critters I've ever seen!!! I love seeing those little creatures living their life and being awesome in their own ways!! Anyone who doesn't like learning about these animals has a problem with nature.... 😂 I thank you all for these videos and hope to see more!¡!❣️🥰
Those shots of the stone weta were genuinely awesome. Kudos to the scientists for making a special chamber to observe the suspended animation. Not sure if it was science or cinematography that decided to make it resemble a natural cave, but it made for really great visuals.
Obviously cinematography. What difference would it make if it was just a tank which was artificially cooled down? Would it go, "Hang on sec!? This isn't a real cave? No, I won't do my defrosting trick, I'd rather die than do it outside a cave"
I did the same thing. Then I googled New Zealand mountain snowberries and found the right plant, mountain snow berries. Space between the snow and berries.
I'm surprised the antarctic icefish didnt make this compilation. They are the only adult organism to have no hemoglobin, giving them clear blood. Due to a genetic mutation million years ago
Its pretty cool watching zebras run from a top down view. Normally they just look like prancing, but you'll notice they go back and forth as well. Furthering the illusion of black and white stripes constantly changing

I had to pause the video because I was laughing so hard at the mudskippers fighting each other with their mouths open😂😂
I’ll forever be in awe of Mother Nature.
Being here on the first day feels like an honor
A fellow of the plague
Lol I feel ya
simp
This is such a rare opportunity, all this time i always watch videos from months and even years ago
@@excree8181 shut it
Excree look at you, you were once so proud, go back and never return
Crab at 16:10 - ''Hey buddy, you don't belong here.''
Should be more like "yo bud,,, long time no see ay"
I got more of a "what the fuck is this thing" vibes
and the fish said: fuck off frank
Loook at the fishes mouth as he passes by the crab
6:51 "We're gonna let this one go now..."
I wouldn't had picked it up in the first place...
Bruh, thats a snake. Lol
@@Similo no it's caterpillar
@@brawmankerlexterminateurde860 No its a table
Millipedes.
why tho
You can see every step of evolution in front of our very eyes!....
Sir David Attenborough’s commentary cannot be surpassed.😀
Thanks for risking your lives to record amd bring us these wonderful documentaries 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
17:33 the crab was there like "hmmmm, interesting show" 😂
I love the voice of the man commenting on the events shown! Calming, clear, soothing... Just zen!
I love how the music makes everything fun
Best way to start a day off from work, pour a drink, smoke some gas and learn about some animal adaptations
"To survive here, you have to be prepared to die here."
Finally a series about mother Russia!
Thank you for that Ivan 😂
The spider segment is craaaaazy good.
Funny noises that they add in to the video, like at 13:31, where Portia makes a little “umpff” noise when she jumps. Like a human would make straining to make a jump. 😂😂😂 I don’t think the spider really made that noise 🕷 HAHAHAHA
That's adorable.
Unauthorized epstein didn’t kill himself
why is this the first time i have seen flamingos flying
Same
ThePark 627 jesus christ why are you so offended by the fact that a person has never seen flamingos flying...
ThePark 627 since you're just so curious to find out the reason why i've never seen a flamingo flying, i'll just not answer. i have "petty" feelings, remember? go get a profile picture, asshole.
@ThePark 627 multiple people have told you you're an asshole. now including me. shut the fuck up and do some self-reflection.
To see flamingos flying, you have to look for them......its everywhere!!
Spectacular photography. Sir David is a national treasure as well.
Incredible video! The way each predator is explained with such detail is both fascinating and terrifying. Keep up the fantastic content!
I wish our society took protecting these ecosystems more seriously
Then do something about it, its no good just wishing for it - Who's going to do it if you simply wish for it? The Tooth Fairy?
Ven Kitsune unfortunately theres not much people can do without power :p
Strange. You say the exact same thing 100,000 other people said after watching this video and what a million more people say several times a week. And yet you say no one pays attention to this?
@@cinnabonbon late reply but in most current societies nothing is stopping you from going out and obtaining said power or at the very least campaigning for what you want to happen. If you want change run for office and be better then your competition
@@UnholyWrath3277 Been there, seen people try it, saw the party bureaucrats and the media crush them. But direct action, on the other hand, delivers the goods. There's a pamphlet, Recipes for Disaster, that's a good introduction on how to start an affinity group and engage in constructive direct action.
Do they have several cameras pointed at the frozen insect and waited for it to melt to get that good closeup timelapse shot?
Yes, they said they made a specialized chamber to get the shot, so it is probably a plexiglass box filled with snow and rocks with an insect they found already frozen and just waited until the temperature was right to start recording with the cameras in perfect positions. That kind of thing cannot be viewed in nature so perfectly with their kind of time constraints and budget.
Amazing on how they study these creatures without disturbing them!! Great job so well done!!!
The calm vibes of this video, made me cry I don’t know why.
Been watching these documentaries a lot lately and finally I noticed a camouflaged praying mantis feeding on a 🐛. Observing nature live is even more awesome
I couIdn't agree more. I Iive in a ruraI area with forests, fields, ponds, streams and a river nearby. I never tire of watching & hearing aII the animals in my small community. We see deer, turkeys, foxes, so many different birds come to my feeders and suet cakes, I even keep a seperate bowl of food for the chipmunks 🐿. They know I'm not a threat so I have coffee on my back porch in nice weather and watch the birds and chipmunks a few feet away. 😊
I could write paragraphs on how many animals, insects, birds and mammals in the area. It's wonderful and I can't imagine Iiving anywhere eIse. ❤
whoever did the editing for portia's segment, you're my hero
Spiders have superpowers? That explains Peter Parker
British people be like: peta paka
Peter Parker has superpowers?? That explains spiders
I can’t look at that thumbnail without my brain automatically putting the gangster’s paradise choir over it.

That spider stealth mission was something i never imagined I needed in my aracnophobe life
Portia, the Spider was mesmerizing. Wow! What a beautiful Garden of Eden we live in.
I loved the Mudskippers! Fish or Frog or both? What incredible animals!!!
Love how the crab in mudskipper vid is just chilling
Snakes changing their entire anatomy, organ layout, jaw shape, hunting behaviour and so forth to become legless all terrain animals that can eat and digest larger prey than you’d expect definitely deserve a mention. They are such fascinating animals
The flying snakes are so cool too!
Portia you go girl!!!!! Literally flawless!!
Impressive spider... extremely amazed by it's hunting skills... truly similar to a 007 agent... the ability to formulate a plan n see into the future n to execute that plan is genius... a mind like Nikola Tesla... overwhelmed with emotion... I am extremely grateful... hat off to the team to produce such accurate information... beautifully narrated...
Love the mudskippers. They are cute 🥰
Jokes aside, Nature is full of surprises and we are still learning from it.
More and more species discovered every day, Mother Earth is unique.
The mechanical sounds of the spider observating her prey cracked me up 😂
Jesus: *comes back from the dead*
Insect: Yo, hol up. That your first time?
all the adaptations are amazing!
These are some of the most interesting critters I've ever seen!!! I love seeing those little creatures living their life and being awesome in their own ways!! Anyone who doesn't like learning about these animals has a problem with nature.... 😂 I thank you all for these videos and hope to see more!¡!❣️🥰
Absolutely incredibly wonderfully fascinating! I don't know how else to describe these magnificent creatures!🌸💖🌷💛🌼🏵💚🌿🦠
Those shots of the stone weta were genuinely awesome. Kudos to the scientists for making a special chamber to observe the suspended animation. Not sure if it was science or cinematography that decided to make it resemble a natural cave, but it made for really great visuals.
Obviously cinematography. What difference would it make if it was just a tank which was artificially cooled down? Would it go, "Hang on sec!? This isn't a real cave? No, I won't do my defrosting trick, I'd rather die than do it outside a cave"
Love the mudskippers such cool animal!!!❤❤❤❤
Everyone is a process of life, but it's also amazing.
When literally coming back from the dead was only number 5 I knew this was gonna be a good video
I’ve never heard of Mountain Snowberries, so I looked them up on Wikipedia-they’re native to the western United States, which seems very strange.
I did the same thing. Then I googled New Zealand mountain snowberries and found the right plant, mountain snow berries. Space between the snow and berries.

Thanks for this crucial bit of information!
I love the suggestion that birds that fly have adapted to their surroundings, rather than just flying somewhere else
How fast do you think the discoverer of jumping spiders pissed himself
I’m hearing that millipede scream “how dare you compare my exoskeleton to your FILTHY BONES” in Lindsay Nikole’s voice😂 NO BONE ZONE!!!
Sir David attenborough ❤️
Mudskippers are so funny, I feel like they have a lot of meme-potential

Yes
Their voices are so soothing. Reminds me of the old Discovery channel and National Geographic.
The sound effect for the spider going down her web XD
That spider 🕷 looked fake at first and incredibly intelligent, lol.
How do I not know about this spider already?
Awww, mud skippers too!💜
I love this.
I'm surprised the antarctic icefish didnt make this compilation. They are the only adult organism to have no hemoglobin, giving them clear blood. Due to a genetic mutation million years ago
*Ice Dissapeared

15:29: me emerging from an afternoon nap 15 hrs later not knowing whether i'm alive or dead
15:50 the way how the fish winks 😉😍😍
It blinks one at a time.
Make this the most liked video on RUclips
Mudskippers: fighting violently
The Crabs: cool beans bro we just be waddlin
17:18 they are stuck in a permanent state of poggers
A bird that walks around stamping on its dinner. Utterly mind blowing
Question is, how long can that bug go frozen and still come back?
The narrations pretty much sums up my parents journey to school back in the days
Fascinating, many thanks for sharing 👍
"Wanna hear my longest yea boiii?"
return form dead just like Jhon snow😂....
and background music during spider analyzing its plan was lit
that thumbnail was too metal for me not to click on the vid
Its pretty cool watching zebras run from a top down view. Normally they just look like prancing, but you'll notice they go back and forth as well. Furthering the illusion of black and white stripes constantly changing
The wildlife of NZ is unique. Wow I really want to visit that beautiful nation
I did. Very worth while. The flight is expensive but staying there isn't. Lots 'n lots of backpacker hostels and inexpensive motels. Check this out for a starter...:

Yeah there super spectacular, watch some videos on our native kea bird if you haven’t before.
