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.

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.

    Cuttlefish and deep sea creatures are the closest things to alien life that I've seen
  • @bigkahuna_tuna
    No one gonna mention how that first crab had probably the most mystical experience of his life and lived to tell the tale? I bet all the other crabs would never believe him.
  • @BobMotster
    This 4-minute-long video is better than most blockbuster movies that came out lately.

    The mantis shrimp rapidly hiding after seeing the floating crab leg was really cute for some reason.

    The pattern in displaying those colors is like shadows making it appear that it is going away from the prey, as it gets closer to the prey to surprise it. Awesome.
  • @pnk234
    Tricks of changing colour is yet most attractive and these animals are most blessed in life
