10 Animal Behaviours Filmed for the First Time Ever | BBC Earth

2:05 “but it travels shell-first, so it can’t see exactly where it’s going.” bump

My heart: bursts into tears at how adorably silly it is

I always wondered how they filmed these sea creatures?🤔

I have never seen an elephant take down

The first time ever- click bait

There is still so much of the planet that remains unexplored 🤔

"Snow Leopards Hunt Mark"

Thanks to advancements in camera trap technology and high-definition filming, we are witnessing some of the most elusive, complex, and fascinating actions in the animal kingdom. Here are 10 of the most incredible animal behaviors that have ever been caught on camera for the very first time:1. Wolves Swimming to Haul Up Crab Traps. In Canada, researchers used camera traps to find out who was damaging their submerged traps for invasive European green crabs. They caught a female wolf swimming to grab a trap's rope in her mouth, hauling it to shore, and eating the herring bait inside. 2. Giant Cuttlefish Deception Tactics Filmed in the shallow waters of southern Australia, male cuttlefish engage in epic mating competitions where larger males display aggressive, colorful bands. To circumvent these large, territorial males, smaller cuttlefish have been filmed using a genius trick: changing their coloration and tucking in their arms to mimic the appearance of a female to sneak past the guards and mate. 3. Horned Lizards Shooting Blood from Their Eyes. When cornered by a predator like a fox, the Texas horned lizard's absolute last resort is pure shock value. It restricts blood flow from its head, causing blood pressure to rise until the capillaries in the corners of its eyes literally burst, shooting a stream of blood right into the face of the predator.4. Colossal Squid in Its Natural HabitatPreviously only known to science from dead, mangled specimens pulled up by fishing vessels in the Southern Ocean, researchers successfully deployed deep-sea cameras to catch rare, living footage of the colossal squid swimming in the crushing, lightless depths of Antarctica.5. Dolphin Tail-Slapping and Mud-Ring FeedingIn the shallows of Western Australia, bottlenose dolphins were filmed developing incredibly complex hunting techniques. They were documented swimming in circles, using their tails to kick up a wall of mud that traps fish, and tail-slapping to stun prey before scooping them up in mid-air as the fish try to jump over the mud wall. 6. Hummingbird Wing Modifications During Mating. Hummingbirds were filmed using their modified wings specifically as musical instruments. During courtship flights, the specific geometry and rapid beating of their wings allow them to produce a loud, specific hum that is hard for females to resist. 7. Pistol Shrimp's Sonic Stun Attack. The pistol shrimp has a massive, oversized claw that it doesn't use for pinching. Instead, it snaps the claw shut so violently that it creates a cavitation bubble, emitting a sound reaching 210 decibels. This bubble generates a shockwave that temporarily stuns and renders nearby prey unconscious, while also creating a brief flash of light. 8. Vampire Squid Projecting Bioluminescent "Snow" The vampire squid, an ancient deep-sea cephalopod, was filmed using bioluminescence in a completely unexpected way. Instead of using light to attract prey, it was filmed deploying sticky, glowing mucus to distract predators and creating bioluminescent "snow" to mask its own escape into the dark. 9. Bears Marking Trees and Scratching. In hidden forest valleys, bears travel miles to seek out specific trees. They were filmed rubbing against these trees to leave unique scent trails—marking their territory and potentially avoiding physical fights with dozens of other bears in the valley. 10. Snow Leopards Hunting Markhor. Due to their highly elusive nature and near-inaccessible habitat, capturing snow leopards hunting in the high Himalayas was once impossible. High-altitude specialized cameras successfully filmed the incredible predatory leaps of snow leopards navigating the perilous, sheer cliffs to hunt markhor, a massive wild goat.

I am shure military sientists try to make a killer for biological warfare out of.

Badly edited sections for the BBC. I thought this channel was someone using BBC clips and just chucking them together.

The last of Us ' scene right there 9:14

That Cordyceps fungus taking over ants' brains sounds like a horror movie plot—Mother Nature’s darkest thriller

Why didn’t the snow leopard just follow the goat on land? It can’t stay out in the water forever

Why it called bbc pause

Imagine what the landscape looked like before humanity destroyed the wildlife. These animals didn't travel for days without finding abundant resources. There was plenty of everything for the majority of species. Now everything is dying off and humanity pretends this is normal or healthy for the planet

THE NATILUS IS A FOSSIL POKÉMON AAAA

SUBHANALLAH

This narrator is a master of speaking underwater! You can’t even tell! :p

I just imagined what would have happened if these cordyceps started evolving and would try to leech on humans. Hopefully not

Las hormigas del desierto son prueba de que en la naturaleza el tamaño no define el peligro. Su resistencia y organización impresionan más que muchos depredadores grandes.

cordyceps,- the last of us

Wow ! The Cordyceps just amazed me 😳 I had never seen that before.

Imagine somebody with an Extreme Snake Phobia scuba diving and then 3:30

9:31 movie thing. Creepy.

I like when the whitw bears eating fish from rivers.

@ 7:56 Oh, Hell no!!!

If you aren't fascinated by the world we live in there's something wrong with you.

Question, if a snake bites a fish, poisioning it, then eats it, why the snake dont die from food posion?

I wonder why do deep sea creatures develop eyes when there's literally pitch black in there

Cordiceps is absolutely nuts 🤯😵‍💫

I'm still butthurt that they watched the snow leopard die without intervening. Like I understand the whole observe thing, but watching an already endangered animal die knowing they're death is directly related to humans, but taking no action is WILD to me. At some point accountability needs to be had. Wildlife documenters are not the cause nor the problem. The problem is rules within the profession that prohibit human intervention even when humans are directly affecting survivability.
