Taken From Blue Planet II
This bold cinematic experience takes viewers on a magical adventure across the greatest, yet least known, parts of our planet - our oceans. Since Blue Planet aired in 2001, our understanding of life beneath the waves has completely changed. Travelling from the icy polar seas to the vibrant blues of the coral atolls, this series shares these astonishing new discoveries. Meet the strange octopuses lurking in the depths of the Antarctic Ocean. Watch giant trevally fish leap to catch birds in mid-air. And ride on the back of a hammerhead shark as it attacks. Inspiring awe and wonder, Blue Planet II reveals surprising new places, charismatic new characters and extraordinary new behaviours.

Can't express in words, how beautifully the under-water shots were taken.. Simply brilliant camera work. 😊😊
Better than Avatar The way of Water.
Except for the BBC logo, a lot of nice screenshot backgrounds.
@@TheResonatingMindyeahhh!
A lot of the shots are animated unfortunately, sorry to ruin blue planet for you:(
@@Ched241animated is the wrong word, but rather staged. Especially the close ups would be near impossible in the wild, so often they use aquariums etc. To get detail in.
When I was a kid, I got entangled in a Man O'War's tentacles on a vacation to the Gulf of Mexico. Even though I was only about 4 years old, (I am 67 now) I vividly remember the hot burning pain of the sting. They may be beautiful, but they are something everyone should do their best to avoid.
No shit
Im amazed that at 4 years old you were even able to survive that. Fair play to you.
@@ahabduennschitz7670 You look like a cool guy to talk to
it felt like an electric shock when I got stung
Same for me. One got me on a trip in Florida when I was ten. The most severe pain; unforgettable. They gave us a memory for sure.
I'm a Portuguese man and I'm not as deadly. I promise.
👍🙃
If you became a dermatologist you could call yourself a Portuguese man of pores.
😳
But have you been to war tho? 🤔😂
Just as creepy tho
I don't think you're ready for this jelly!
LOL!!! 😂❤
💀
Good one. 🪼
Cause my body's too coodielicious for ya babe!!
The jellyfish sequence is sooo gorgeous! Our camera crew went for a swim in a beautiful lake of jellyfish! It looks like something from another planet, it's a lagoon that was cut off from the ocean long ago, and that's why it became home to unique species like stingless jellyfish.
Evolutionary adaptation of this animal is simply amazing. Who would have guessed they have a mechanism that can be used as a sail for mobility?
I'm also surprised that the tentacles grew to such lengths without another evolutionary pressure curtailing that. I just looked up some of its natural predators and _Glaucus atlanticus_ looks otherworldly too. Amazing.
@@Jeffersonwazright Science is based on evidence. Religions are based on faith. That’s the difference.
@@Jeffersonwazright This is the problem of those who have no scientific training thinking oneself to be qualified to have an opinion about science. Science, unlike faith based religions, allow for modifications of theories as more evidence is gathered. Evolution is at the moment the most viable theory we have to explain how organisms came to be as they are.
@@N_Idesevolution is a disastrous joke of a theory
@@N_Ides Evolution is in no case the most probable explanation and there is surely no good evidence. It is just a pseudo scientific theory that people would like to believe. Do you even know what you call "scientific" is devoid of logic if you dug deeper in it and flawed in every case? The theory of evolution is improbable and merely suggestions. It is as trustworthy as the many "scientific" theories throughout the ages like the humoral theory that was the rage in its time. "Scientific facts" change through the years. What you may call bonkers now used to be "scientific" before. God never changes.
This leaves out what, to me, is the most fascinating fact about the man o’war: it’s not one animal, but a colony of several individual organisms acting collectively.
I've been a victim of this creature from Hell. The pain is impossible to describe. It felt like my thigh was desintegrating inside a huge pot of molten iron.
That sounds awful. Nothing serious i hope.
Godless ☣️
That sounds like an Irukandji jellyfish sting
Me too, jumped into one when i was around 10
Me too since we’re all talking out of our asses
The stings leave a red mark, usually rope-liike patterns of liquid fire that cannot be extinguished quickly enough to deter the intense pain that consumes the world of the victim for the next several hours. The patterns remain after the pain, sometimes leaving marks for years. Even long after death and disintegration of the man-o-war, the particles of tentacles can sting unprotected skin of barefoot beach walkers
This is some of the most beautiful footage ever, despite of the creature... and even the man of war is beautiful, even though very deadly!
You do know that 90% of it was CGI, right?
@@roger0929 None of it was CGI. Do you also believe NASA didn't land on the Moon?
@@blucat4 It probably thinks the Earth is flat too.
@@roger0929 That would be so much harder to do than just filming the actual animals doing the actual things
@blucat4 you tryna say that 2:18 is real?
The fact that a group of them aren’t referred to as an “Armada” is a tragedy.
2:08 Hans Zimmer’s Pirates of the Caribbean days coming back to him.
It truly is
I want a cartoon with a man o' war being represented as a crew of a fishing ship. Possessing sailer accents and each respective zooid has a name after the parts of a ship depending on their job (for example the tentacles would each be named "net" or something similar, we got sail as the gas bladder and so on). We would get situations like "Put up Sail!" and then Sail would reply with "On it!" and inflate
Henceforth, they shall collectively be known as an armada. But technically, one individual is a "group".
Hats off to all the videographers that make such stunning clips
Literally *bad jokes I know*
@@angingis5922CGI
I've seen this exact video before but the man o' war never stops being amazing
Tonight ... you!
miguel is so annoying, dawg
u don't understand
Portuguese Man O' War is called a "Carabela Portuguesa" in Spanish because it resembles a famous vessel used by Spain and Portugal to navigate the oceans during the 14th and 15th centuries 😮😮😮
The ship is called a Man O' War in english and in german it's a portugiesische Gallere which is the word for the ship too.
Stunningly dangerous & still beautiful. 😊
Most ulgy creature I have seen.
This cinematography is like having an acid trip, outstanding.
I hate jellyfish. When I was living in VA Beach, I was swimming when I saw a hoard of them, heading my way. I swam as fast as I could for shore but the harder I swam...it seemed I was drawing them in towards me. I finally made it without getting stung.
Amazing how even a year old video deserves a 4KUHD reupload
Saw my first ones from a boat in the Azores, was very excited to spot them! The colours of their sails are gorgeous.
I live in the Canary Island, near Azores. Not rare to see them on the sand drying out. You go 30 times to the beach, you will find on average 4 or 5 times if you pay atention. I am 40 years old, never heard about anyone getting hurt by them, not in the water nor in the sand.
these things are so beautiful. but stay the hell away from me.
Who needs the stars to imagine alien life when we have our vast and deep oceans!
To be fair the people exploring oceans and those exploring the cosmos belong to different organizations. We can do both!
@@joesimmons7195 Hehe. yep of course. It was more of a tongue in cheek comment regarding the absolutely "alien" life so abundant in the ocean...especially all the undiscovered ones deep deep below.
Beautiful scenery, I love BBC planet earth documentary's ❤😊
I've never been stung by one of these things (thank God) but I have been stung by jellyfish before and the pain is excruciating.
Fascinating how it does not dry up with its body floating above the water directly catching the sunlight
How the cameraperson(s) got that close, for so long is....remarkable. I encountered these little monsters diving often in Bermuda and they were much more scary than deep sea barracuda.
Remote cameras
A lot of it is animated or at least staged too. Recorded close up in aquariums
They have lenses. You can get a shot like that from a safe distance with good lenses.
LOL. you have never seen a Man'o'war, have you?
@@antoineholliday7631
I was once stung by it. It had washed into my jeans and I had crushed it on my knee. Uff. My aunt scrap it out, stings all wrapped around my knee. And then came the sharp pain. It was excruciating. It rose high. And then my groin was on fire. Balls, Penis, bladder every inch ached. It persisted until I peed. And only after that it started to subside. Leaving gashes on my leg and bitter memories of pain.
These things are all over the beaches in Southeast Florida. You can't even go in the water anymore
Even washed up on a beach, they are still amazingly beautiful.
And can still sting!
The little Pirates of the Caribbean music when steady course thru the waves description was a nice touch 🏴☠️
If I ever won the lottery this dude would narrate my life. “The man finally wakes up. Hung over, but in good spirits. Enzymes in his belly craves Taco Bell.”
playing pirates of the caribbean music would be more entertaining and i have had the privilege of being stung many times by the portugese man of war as a lifeguard in florida for 20 years....lots of pain and slight burn like marks for weeks ..FUN TIMES
Quem diria uma parte à superfície tão brilhante e bonita ...mas tão mortifera e esquisita na nomenclatura!! Que criatura alienígena!!
Maravilhoso cenário de um céu ...
e eu nadava no meio delesquando era crianca nos acores!
No wonder turtles confuse bags with jellyfish 💀
if sir david ever retires, it will be great loss to the BBC, and us. wonderous vid, as always.
I grew up in southeast Texas and these would always be on the beach. When I was very young, one of them went up my trunks' pantleg and got tangled up with my goods. It was very painful
Literally had you by the ⚽️ 🏀
I also grew up in SE TX. Went to Crystal Beach nearly every weekend during summer. How I managed to avoid getting stung, I’m not really certain. Plenty of my friends did get stung (sometimes by a dead one washed up on the beach). It was obviously the worst pain they’d ever felt up to that point in their lives.
Does anything eat it?
I moved to the Azores last year in September. My family & I were able to enjoy thousands of these washing up on our ports and beaches.
*The Portuguese man o' war is a highly venomous marine animal that is often mistaken for a jellyfish. It has long tentacles that can extend up to 165 feet and deliver a painful and potentially lethal sting. Despite its name, the Portuguese man o' war is not actually a single organism, but rather a colony of specialized individuals working together for survival. It is important to exercise caution when encountering this creature in the ocean.*
Fantastic 🤓👍😁
@@KimmelSlavko
Stupendous even
The name is not referring to a single cell organism. A man o'war is a heavy loaded ship with a lot of men and cannons and was mainly propelled by sails.
Source:
In Royal Navy jargon, a man-of-war (also man-o'-war, or simply man)[1][2] was a powerful warship or frigate of the 16th to the 19th century. Although the term never acquired a specific meaning, it was usually reserved for a ship armed with cannon and propelled primarily by sails, as opposed to a galley which is propelled primarily by oars.
@@mysticcity312 You're very well informed...Are you in the Navy or have a history academic background? 🤓👍😁
Do you know if they are always floating above water?
Got stung by one once... Got a fever yes
those jellies were
just beautiful
Warning: The Creatures shown in this video have presumably never been to portugal, aren't in fact man and lack any sort of military experience.
0:15 that is the most BEAUTIFUL gown I've seen underwater. Some luxury designer like *cough*Balenciaga* need to take lessons from that jellyfish.
So cool yet so deadly….I wanna pop the forbidden water balloon
Let's make no bones here, this is what the BBC should be about...
Education
Stunningly dangerous & still beautiful. . Hats off to all the videographers that make such stunning clips.
The way seagull wandering 2 times its killing me when they quacking ,😭😭😭
Great to see the Hanar finding life on earth comfortable.
2:16 *"that's got to be the best pirate I've ever seen"*
What a beautiful video....the clarity is SUPERB
I just got triggered! Back in the 70s when I was a bikini babe ny family and I went to Bora Bora. We were on a snorkeling trip by boat. The instructor was this tall muscular brown mustache hunk. Auntie was swooning. We were on the edge of a rocky coral and he suddenly had this dead look on his face and said. “Don’t panic but their is a swarm of jellyfish (box I believe) and it’s floating to our direction we have 5 minutes to swim to the boat or we will for sure die painfully!” Suddenly a bunch of fish start facing passing us, some pumping into our torso, I swear I even saw a big sea turtle and dolphin racing in a panic, I look down and it’s like a beautiful crimson blanket. We all swam as fast as Micheal Phelps . They were inches away from our toes it was terrifying. I am so glad we didn’t have grandma or any of the kids with us then. When we got to our boat the whole surface was covered in these beautiful but deadly animals. This planet and life are sure worth saving and living.🌎🌍🌏
3:27 a cameo appearance that's definitely not coming back for the sequel.
some of those underwater jelly fish scenes are Star Wars- other worldly!
Subhan Allahi Wabi Hamdihi ✨
I'm disappointed, BBC. The Portuguese Man O' War is not a jellyfish at all. It's a siphonophore. And it's not simply "a creature" but in fact a colony of many zooid animals. I think this is coolest and most unique feature and I'm surprised there's no mention of it.
It was mentioned. Did you not watch the video?
@@uli3119 did you?
The cameraman are the real heros here.
My sister encountered this weird powerful creature. Treatment was constantly rubbing freshly grated coconut on your skin until the sensation disappears
I really dislike those slimy creatures. I and family members used to get stung by them when we lived in Hawaii.
so majestic and .... deadly
Seems and sounds like the magical world of Harry Potter - the music, the jellyfish scene at 1:36 looks like Dementors, etc.
If you get stung, place a piece of magnet on the stung area to prevent its poison flow to your heart.
That's how we did it back home at Banda Naira.
I have been stung by this. It's no joke.
You know when very hot wax falls on your skin?
That's how it feels but for hours.
Scars take weeks to go away.
Amazing creature in the sea
There's a reason why they didn't call it "Man O' Peace"
Dory would be so happy.
This creature amazes and terrifies me
I would be in shock to see so many jellyfish... hate those creatures...
Blue Bottle, as kids, we'd sting each other with them, excruciating initially, but you do get used to it. Dropped one down the front of my mates sluggos once. Didn't end to well he ended up in hospital for a couple of weeks with the biggest set of nuts I've ever seen even to this day & that was on a 10 year-old.
My mother was stung by one of those when she was pregnant with me. Now I'm autistic and 2 meters tall.
I remember walking across a beach full of washed up Jellyfish in Fraserburgh a few years ago.
Gelungenes Video. Gruss Jürgen 🤠
2:09 Portuguese man o'war reaching 'sun down'
2:34-2:48 Hans Zimmer repurposing a portion of Jack Sparrow's theme
I'm more afraid of these than a shark. A shark bite (baby sand sharks) hurt for maybe 5 minutes.
Stepping on a tentacle from one of these, the pain lasts for days!
why is this creature not considered a multicellular animal but a colony of cells?
The Man O' War is not a single organism, but a group of animals that are clones of each other, born together and form together like Voltron. Each individual plays a different role and they behave as one.
If you really want to freak out, search for "Box Jellyfish".
BBCs motto: *LESSONS WILL BE LEARNT*
I can watch it all day long but to deal with it face to face I don't think I can
The first time I got stung by one, it was one stinging cell, on my finger and my arm hurt up to the elbow. But I developed an immunity I guess and now I'd merely call them "spicy".
Those dementors look so frightening! 🪄😤
Proof that the cameraman doesnt die
I thought man o'war was in charge of the sinn fein party in northern Ireland.
We get them most years up north in Australia
Do you see more detail on the actual show? That was too brief
I got stung by man-o-war playing in the shorebreak on the island of Kauai.
It went in my pants and wraped around my winglet and nuggets. I was a child visiting Kauai with my neighbors, they had a cabin on the backside of sleeping giant mountain, we all lived on Oahu.
My neighbors mother pulled me between cars, asked her son to pee into a cup and poured it down my pants. The stinging tentacles came off and the pain went away immediately. I was back in the water within minutes.
it really works....
These jellies are so pretty.
Am I a pansy for actually stopping the video because it scared the shit outta me? 🤣
With it’s tentacles being so dangerous, it makes you wonder why it evolved that way. Was there a predator that a lower level of stinging wouldn’t kill, therefore eating all of them?
The trend of "Small ambush predator having ridiculous venom that can kill 300 whales just to take on a mouse" Its actually mostly the result of the prey. With prey being few and far between thanks to their sit and wait strategy, you have to make darn sure you catch what viable food comes by, this with the added problem of the fact that their prey is often very dangerous. A rattlesnake for example is a long exposed sausage that has to take on a highly athletic mouse with powerful jaws. If the venom acted slowly theres more than enough time for the mouse to bite any part of its long body before going down, or even miraculously escaping. Since they can go without food for a long time its best to put a lot of resources into having lots of really deadly venom to ensure that what you catch stays caught and is caught safely.
Theres no such thing as overkill, especially if you are a man o' war: A bunch of jelly animals trying to catch tiny torpedoes called fish.
@@astick5249 succinct!
I got stung by one of these as a kid
A ,"man o' war" is an archaic term for a well armed war ship.
Though I'm not positive... the jelly fish of the same name may have derived its name from being the animal world's version of a well armed ship...including sail and weapons!!!
My sisters in Portugal for the holiday..So jelly...
The Portuguese sure love their fish!
سبحان الله وبحمده سبحان الله العظيم
Wow
Roses have thorns🌷
I don't think the fish shown here is the man-of-war fish BBC claimed to be, the actual fish Nomeus gronovii looks nothing like that.
Damn scary, you're nature!
Let them Enjoy their Ocean their home… you can happily wander the Earth
Having been stung by these things 50+ times now, it's like saying "The Deadly Honey Bee."
Last time was literally this past weekend. Box jellyfish are more dangerous/deadly.
People get stung by these things all the time in HI and it never makes the news because NOBODY dies.
Even had one wrap around me a few times. Ended up looking like a candy cane.
