Subterranean Spiders Survive in Total Darkness | South Pacific | BBC Earth

- This remarkable subterranean world is a place of ghostly stillness. A sure advantage for the small-eyed, big-eyed hunting spider. Despite its name, it does not rely on its eyesight to hunt, but its super sensitive leg hairs to capture unsuspecting prey.

Taken from 'South Pacific' (2009)
Unimaginably vast, the Pacific Ocean is 99% water and only 1% land - you could fit the whole of the world's landmasses into it and still have enough room for another Africa! This landmark documentary series explores the sheer scale and majesty of the largest ocean on Earth, the isolation of its islands, the extraordinary journeys wildlife and humans have gone through to reach these specks of land, and what happened to both after their arrival.
Welcome to BBC EARTH! The world is an amazing place full of stories, beauty and natural wonder. Here you'll find 50 years worth of entertaining and thought-provoking natural history content. Dramatic, rare, and exclusive, nature doesn't get more exciting than this.

Imagine going through the trouble of evolving small eyes AND big eyes, only for both to barely function
I am sure that those eyes do have some very important function of which man is yet aware of.
Not the ridiculous ones yet
Evolve from fish-> amphibian (grow legs)-> mammals( hairy)-> goes back to water-> devolve back to fish again (btw, it's massive)
Can you guess the animal denied entire evolution?
@@haoo549
cetaceans?
Maybe they used to hunt above ground long ago, and in several thousand years from now they won't have eyes at all.
Imagine going to the trouble of evolving small eyes and big eyes that barely work and then being named after them by a monkey
I was initially expecting the soothing and iconic voice of Sir David Attenborough.
"A Lava tube"
Small eyes big eyed spider? Biologists were having a day
Was not expecting to hear Benedict Cumberbatch. XD
Came here to say this
Who the hell named it that, and why didn't their scientist friends tell them it was silly?
"This is my newest discovery. The Small Eyed Big Eyed Spider."
". . . How long did that take you to come up with, Jim? Be honest"
o_O
The beginning is clearly an opening of Alien movie. Classic.
One like for cameraman ❤
The true hero
I don't understand, with all the camera movement and footsteps, howd they manage to not freak out the spider yet it would notice the tiny cricket move it's antennae?
I visited a lava tube in Hawaii. Absolute indescribable blackness.
Nature is amazing & adapts to situations humans could never manage .What a wonderful spider .Great filming.
I think humans could manage it, we have technology to speed up the process.
There is so much we have yet to see on this planet. Can't imagine the things that are still to be found.
I would love to watch a video about how this was filmed. Camera setup, focus, close ups, lighting - wow ...
Some of the BBC documentaries have behind the scenes footage. There's one on the racer snakes which is amazing, there's a few out there.

Thank you for clarifying that troglobites are not a specific animal, rather cave specialist species. David Attenborough called a cave salamander a troglobite in the original Planet Earth series so I always thought troglobite meant that cave salamander.
P.S. Troglobite has to be one of my favorite words to hear. It sounds so alien, creepy.
Troglodyte.
@@WaddedBliss Troglodyte is a caveman. Two different words. 👍
I, for one, appreciate Smaug talking about dark caves
This is the coolest invert footage I've seen in a long time
Absolutely amazing creatures, magnificent senses, how wonderful creation is.
It's very easy. It's wet where they live, so they can't wear glasses. The small eyes are for far looking and the big ones are for reading because of their boring world.
I heart they prefere spiderman-comics.
Imagine if the torchlight suddenly running out of battery, it would be a nightmare trying to get out of this cave 😢
I always watch BBC.
Now I'm still watching 😊
Thank you for sharing this video
What a beautiful spider 🥰🖤
agree
GHOSTLY STILLNESS! Loved that adjective
Adjectival noun I think
@@markjohnson8352🤓🤓🤓
Nature never ceases to amaze, spiders are incredible! 👍 Thank you for your video! 🤗
Quite informative. Thank you❤
Spiders are creatures that are both magical and scary. Although they have many big eyes and small eyes, they do not use nature, which is interesting.
Where my flamethrower at 🧐.
Your videos are always a great inspiration to me
I've been to the Undara lava tubes in Northern Queensland. I didn't see spiders there, but I am sure they were present.
I did see hundreds of huntsman spiders on the walls of the Chillagoe-Mungana cave. It was a great experience (and I am glad I wasn't born a cricket!)
So cute 😘😘
0:50 Looks like a Alien Nest
Maybe they don't show up on infrared at all...
That poor cricket
Tough luck,Jiminy Cricket!
❤❤❤❤ "Love this kind of content! Nothing beats the peace and quiet of rural life"
you are my inspiration,I am now staying away from the capital city, until finally I decided to move to an island called 🐴 THE LOST WORLD
I'm hungry. Anyone for cricket - ah I mean chips?
E de facto surpreendente as sobrevivências de espécies ...neste local hostil e recôndito...mas esta aranha assusta com tantos olhos!!
Cute... 😰
Living without seems like a natural thing for those S. Spiders
Just call it the mid-eyed hunter.
O que mais me impressiona é a capacidade resolutiva da câmera!
Wow
Tolle Wesen diese Spinnen. Gruss Jürgen 🤠
Hunting is much easier when the prey walks onto your lap
Evolve night vision, spider. And you’ll have an evolutionary advantage.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
How come the BBC, a public financed chanel is able to do such a high quality production with way less financial support compared to the german public media like ARD and ZDF? BBC is the proof that you dont need billions to produce quality TV, you just have to set your priorities right.
Curiously, the spider appears darker in color compared with other cave inhabitants which are much paler. Remaining pigments may suggest it's relatively a new comer?
Thanks for meaningful and valuable video as always ❤❤❤
Subterranean Spiders Survive in Total Darkness | South Pacific | BBC Earth 1322pm 30.6.24 cath loves spiders and creepy crawlies. not a fan, myself... not to the degreee where i'd extermiante them but... i am still marvelling at the recording of the inaudible to human ears sounds the insects make when comminicating with one another....
i find it interesting that biological things can evolve to white or bright colors when ecologically without any light 😮
How do they film this? Some sort of special camera I guess.
Flashlight and an old aquarium.
@@merickful 😄
The nope cave
The combination of "spiders" and "total darkness" doesn't work for me.
Project Hail Mary!
Ave Maria
There are spiders in the jungle.
Yes the only place on earth no spiders is in the artic
@@carrietye4664 However, in my room, there are spiders.
@@Salah_-_Uddin I have spiders also in my apartment 🤷. Like i said the only place on earth were spiders don't live is in the artic because is way to cold there everyone knows that
Mother natures'✌️🌈💜💚
It's impressive to see how spiders can survive underground without any light. This video is truly eye-opening and informative. Thank you for sharing
😬
I hate spiders. Why am I watching this?
second
oh its Bendebloo Coombabla, can't stand it when they get random celebrities to narrate stuff to try and bring in viewers. comes across as so fake and forced, takes me out of the doc
It's Booplesnoot Cucumber. Get it right.
I mean, it's not like David Attenborough can narrate these forever. They're going to have to replace him at some point.
@@TobeyFairre7861 sure, but use actual narrators, not actors
The more I learn about the wonders of life, the more it seems reasonable for me to accept this conclusion: The origin of life required an intelligent source.
Therefore, it is appropriate to agree with one Bible poet who said this long ago about God: "With you is the source of life." - Psalm 36:9.
That's horrible. *upvote.
