In Meet the Jotus Jumping Spider: Australian Assassin, learn about the Jotus jumping spider as it searches for prey. A male Jotus, looking for a mate, attempts to catch its attention by waving its arms. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Seven Worlds, One Planet, a series featuring remarkable animal behavior from all seven continents.
In Wolves Prowling in the Alps, narrator Sir David Attenborough reveals how thermal imaging cameras are used to track a pack of wolves searching for prey around the mountain village of Abruzzo in Italy. They spot red deer, but their hunt is interrupted by human activity. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Seven Worlds, One Planet, a series featuring remarkable animal behavior from all seven continents.
In The Nocturnal Migration of Plankton, narrator David Attenborough explains how plankton retreats into the ocean depths as the Sun rises. To follow them, we descend in a submarine where pressure increases, and temperatures drop. At 500 meters (1,640 feet) below, strange creatures emerge. Organic particles, known as marine snow, drift down, serving as food for many animals like the sea spider, which uses feathered leg-like appendages to capture it. Meanwhile, the sawtooth eel waits motionless, ready to strike at silhouetted prey swimming near the faint glow from the surface. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Planet Earth, a breathtaking documentary series that highlights the natural wonders of our planet.
In The Ocean's Patient Predators, narrator Sir David Attenborough highlights the behavior of ocean predators like manta rays and whitetip sharks, and their prey. These predators navigate the vast ocean, using senses like taste to locate food. Smaller fish, like pilot fish, benefit from the shark's hunting efforts. Even predators face challenges when hunting swift and agile prey, such as rainbow runners. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Planet Earth, a breathtaking documentary series that highlights the natural wonders of our planet.
In Dolphin Schools and Cory’s Shearwater Are a Team Effort for Survival, narrator Sir David Attenborough captures an extraordinary sight of 500 dolphins leaping through the water and then hunting in coordination with Cory’s shearwaters — seabirds in the waters around the Azores, volcanic islands located 1,000 miles west of Portugal. The dolphins use teamwork to herd schools of mackerel toward the water's surface, where the fish become easy prey for the diving shearwaters. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Planet Earth, a breathtaking documentary series that highlights the natural wonders of our planet.
In March of the Zombie Cicada Army, narrator Sir David Attenborough describes more than a billion insects emerging after 17 years underground. Your skin might crawl as you watch the cicadas take over the forest, morph into adult form, and become prey to eager predators. This video is excerpted from BBC's Planet Earth, a breathtaking documentary series that highlights the natural wonders of our planet.
In Cheetah Brothers Work Together to Hunt, narrator Sir David Attenborough follows three cheetah brothers living in Mount Kenya as they try to hunt zebras. At first, their plan falls apart when one cheetah is blocked by a big zebra, and the others miss their targets. Realizing they need to work together, the brothers switch their focus to a lone ostrich, which is faster and heavier than any of them. But by teaming up, the cheetahs finally succeed in catching their prey. This video is excerpted from BBC's Life, a show that explores the remarkable strategies animals and plants use to ensure their survival.
In How Bulldog Bats Hunt in the Night, Sir David Attenborough describes how, as night falls in Belize, bulldog bats take to the skies, ready for an evening feast. These incredible flying mammals are expert fishers, spotting tiny ripples on the water's surface to locate their prey. With lightning speed, they skim the water at 40 mph, snatching fish with their feet — but the splashy success attracts other bats to the scene. This video is excerpted from BBC's Life, a show that explores the remarkable strategies animals and plants use to ensure their survival.
In The Nightmare Mapusaurus and Allosaurus, naturalist Steve Backshall uncovers how these two carnivorous dinosaurs killed their prey in unique ways. They truly were nightmare neighbors to other dinos! This video is excerpted from BBC’s Deadly Dinosaurs, a documentary series in which host Steve Backshall is on the hunt for the deadliest animals to have walked the Earth — dinosaurs — exploring features of several species and putting their abilities to the test to reveal the raw power of these creatures.
In Strange Predators of the Deep Sea, narrator Sir David Attenborough details animals that live in the deep sea. Watch anglerfish and gulper eels catch prey. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Blue Planet, a definitive documentary series diving into the mysterious depths of the sea to discover the natural history of the world’s oceans and the rarely seen marine life that reside there.
In Lights in the Deep Sea, narrator Sir David Attenborough explores how animals in the deep sea use light. Watch animals use light to catch prey and escape predators. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Blue Planet, a definitive documentary series diving into the mysterious depths of the sea to discover the natural history of the world’s oceans and the rarely seen marine life that reside there.
In Hatchet Fish in the Twilight Zone, narrator Sir David Attenborough describes how predators and prey interact in the "twilight zone." Watch how a hatchet fish has adapted to hide in low light and how its predator has adapted to be able to find it. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Blue Planet, a definitive documentary series diving into the mysterious depths of the sea to discover the natural history of the world’s oceans and the rarely seen marine life that reside there.
