Everyone said endgame was the biggest crossover in history but nobody ever talks about the time the entire ocean came together to defeat the sardines
Even a freak shark *copper shark* got in on that
The whale was totally op.
Blubableful dude, birds came in swimming.
@@michaelwang3439 Dude the whale stole so many kills with one move...
Sardines: Wtf is going on here. Why are all these predators not maintaining social distancing...
Narrator: These caterpillars were thought extinct Me: I wonder why...? Narrator: These seed pods are it ONLY source of food... Me: Oh Narrator: And they explode Me: Oooooooooh
That made me laugh out loud kudos 😂
😂😂
when we were kids we used to run around and explode them all for fun, just squeeze them slightly and boom
@@zythraa I still do this as an adult
Had me crack up out loud 😂
Moral of the day: don't be a sardine
I just chocked on my sandwich lmaoo truuee
That whale ended that whole school’s career.
you will be labeled sardinephobia...
Thankfully I’m a mongoose main Oh and my ex is a cow main Tier zoo reference
lol
These dudes who look after the elephants need more love
Real life superheroes
Especially “Fred”, the one that said the snare did not hit the bone. He had a cute smile. ;-)
we need more people like that
Definitely!
@@RikoJAmado yess I love Fred the vet! What a sweetie. Imagine being the elephant tho. Some alien species hurts you and then that same species knocks you out and makes you better and you wake up with no idea of what happened
Sardines: exist Sea Lions, Tuna, Sharks, Shearwaters, dolphins, and Whale: So you have chosen death.
I like to think of the clip of the guy whispering, *"It's free real estate."*
Alex Hutchins I just hear mr crabs... but instead of money he says " *FOOD* "
it's free real estate lol
😂😂😂
There were even seagulls above the water.
Sardines live every day like it's D-Day
HAH
Legit that vlows my mind everytime I see it. Like watching a movie only everything is real. It's my number 1 clip so far of this top 50.
how do they time that brute whale its just crazy timeing
D Day???
@@lb017 before the clip came up I half expected the sardines to somehow be storming the beaches.
everybody else: **frantically trying to control the sardines** whale: i mean they jus go in my mouth
😂
😅😭😅😭😅 The whale be like, "Y'all having trouble with these guys⁉️ Damn... Must be tough... Oh well 🤷🏻♂️😂."
Sardines be like: "Alright guys we're like almost all dead here. This isn't funny anymore."
Dude those sardines got wrecked
They put up a good fight at first but were decimated in the end
Lol
@@BlueKidSwag nope ~ Google "to decimate" - those fish got *fucked right up!
The bit with the sardines was like that bit in rick on morty about the two brothers and the moon. They just kept adding shit until it just got ridiculous
Imagine being a sardine.. absolutely unfortunate
jesus, felt bad for the sardines.... every animal wanted to kill them
They are noobs lol
Man to sloth: BOO Sloth 3 years later : GASP
LMAOO
😂😂
" *Man* to sloth " Go was your mouth out with soap
*Zootopia - a brief summary*
watching that sloth do a shit 😳
I am absolutely amazed at the camera angles and footage shot for these shows. Just beautiful.
I could never just sit and record, and watch an animal die... Ugh. What a life though! Watching the beauty of nature, up close... ❤
Andi Leigh its nature you cant intervene
Imagine they’re kd going up amazing wildlife
Everyone said endgame was the biggest crossover in history but nobody ever talks about the time the entire ocean came together to defeat the sardines
@@driftmaster206 Late comment but like why couldn't you intervene? I mean it may be a different situation but if your buddy was getting eaten by a bear youd save him, right? But that's just the bear getting food, so why intervene? Idk I just mean that sure you can its literally just a choice.
"...but nobody told the caterpillars this" I don't know why this kind of funny to me
It's supposed to be
Probably because it's a joke
If I was one of those caterpillars I’d be pissed
Same doe, like c'mon I just wanna fricken eat.
imagine that every fast food could suddenly explode :D :D you would threat milk shake like nuclear bomb
YEET
Your food just explodes in your face ;_;
The Sardine feeding frenzy is hands down the single best piece of cinematography I've ever seen. Ending it all with the whale is a genuine stroke of documentary genius. The editing, the score, the footage... Absolutely brilliant!!
The amount Of predators that worked together on those sardines was actually insane! That was really cool to see
I know! I had no idea such thing happens in nature. And the way all the predators retreated as the whale rose from the depths, absolutely mind blowing. Amazing camera work.
@@nikpupo probably CGI
@@CrapTrapSlap this fucking guy😂
@@CrapTrapSlap 😂🤣 None of these clips look even remotely close to ANY form of CGI. Believe it or not, the real, natural world is amazing, and amazing thing happen out there everyday, there's just usually not a group of professionally trained videographers with top of the line cameras there to record it all for us.
jesus, felt bad for the sardines.... every animal wanted to kill them
WisLow sardines vs the world
You feel bad for sardines millions of people dying of hunger
Tommy Smith but did I ask... who said anything about people around the world
Punctuation gives your sentence a whole new meaning.
Tee revevour Deminingo Your probably 9
For me the sardine clip is clearly the best, it's just majestic specially when the whale arrives at 18:04.... WOW
Exactly!! 😮
I love how everybody just leaves the area before the whale arrives, Like "That's it I'm out of here whale OP please nerf"
Sometimes the ball of sardines is enormous and the cycle of predators goes on for ages with them all working together until the whales arrive, not just one, but several. Sometimes an orca pod will be involved too. Amazing.
Is it CGI? At some parts it just seems off
It scared me tbh it’s mad cool
2 minutes in, and I'm crying because of a hurt elephant snoring.
@Spanish Ramon Did you just compare killing elephants for their trunks to posting memes in the youtube comment section?
that is not snoring - that's labored breathing from sedation to help him out [tranquilizer] ...but age/weight takes a toll on big beasts
@@lavans06 It is snoring, snoring is the sound created by airway obstruction during breathing while asleep.
You should try watching Earthlings
Why? That elephant fared better than most of the animals in the video.
When the mud skipper attacks the other mud skippers they looked genuinely shocked
pogskipper
The whale was like "Bunch of amateurs.. Lemme show you how it's done. "
sardines: 👁👄👁 literally everything in the ocean: 😋🍴🎣
*It's free real estate.*
I went to an Elephant sanctuary in Thailand and it was one of the best experiences of my life. Elephants are so intelligent, gentle and have very different and unique personalities. How anyone could mistreat or kill them is beyond me. When you look into their eyes you see there is a soul that wants to enjoy life, just like you and me.
You have to realize that humans care for animals is a rather new thing. We killed them for food and sometimes even fun for thousands of years. And when you're poor, you don't care about animals.
@@Bayseek well for food or for protection is obviously more than justified since we were and still are predators, and even when its for fun they usually never waste the meat and skin, it's just the tusk poaching that is wrong beyond any level
The amount of teamwork and mutual respect every predator had for each other knowing they all wanted the same thing was unbelievable. Never seen anything like that before
13:02 I don't think that catfish will ever forgive that elephant... plus my anxiety level was going up for that leopard to get mud all over his pristine body.
Sir David Attenborough: BOO!! Sloth: :) :)
That was cute
The sloth O o o ohhhh 3 hours later My gooooodnessss
David: BOO!! Sloth: :) 3 seconds later* Sloth: *GASP*
The Kangaroo clip at the end was by far the most entertaining. The caterpillar clip was definitely second place especially with those sound effects 🤣🤣
who disliked this??? this is the gold standard of wildlife documentaries
Some do simply because the see the hare getting caught..
@@Hirnlego999 or because of how he says sloth
Vegans most likely! They can't handle another species eating meat!
@@phil56892 yeah, well minor things. But certainly people tend to pick teams, and it's not uncommon to root for the underdog and of course in nature they often lose...the more innocent animal which just eats green is torn to pieces.
@@kaosinc you just had to say something prejudiced didn't you.
the one who captured the feeding frenzy and the one who added music to it definitely deserves an award
Spectacular!
14:27 Probably the single most majestic sequence I've sever seen tbh
its fake
@@gtfree1809 How? Like really, how on earth would one fake that? And don’t you fucking dare say “CGI” because they’d need the entire Bavarian Treasury to fund CG this good, and they don’t have that kind of money.
@GT Free just because you don't understand something, doesn't mean it's fake you duckhead
Midskipper 1: ah look, a suitable mate. I will dance for her Mudskipper 2: tries to steal yo girl Mudskipper 1: >:O
Lmfao that looks just like them!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
literally >:O O:
after that video of the guy who makes noises for movies i can't stop thinking about how most of these animal noises are made in a barn with logs and people stepping on leafs
blinkuh same
blinkuh you know that lion that roared at the beginning of “Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer” movies? His roar is actually a jet engine . Also the lion’s name was Leo 😂 thought I’d throw that in there .
@@brihdtv3987 LMAO NOOOOOO
BLINKS UNITE
No but kpop fans are everywhere lol
Stranger: "What animal would you want to be the least?" Me after watching this video: "Sardine." Stranger: "Why?" Me: *having terrible war flashbacks* Edit: (Sorry for my English, I'm not a native speaker)
Don’t worry your English isn’t bad
@@fab2225 facts
You actually did a really good job with your English in this comment, so good job ‼️💯😄👍 It looked great, better than a lot of Native English speakers to be honest 😅😅😅 Keep up the good work, you're doing great‼️👍
23:39 "That's why they're always in the right place to catch the frisbee." Clearly, you have not met my dog.
When I throw mine a piece of meat it will normally hit him in the forehead then he needs a few seconds to find it on the floor. Silly dog
you cant just throw a frisbee and expect your dog to know what to do. you need to train him.
I only just realized how huge and crazy looking ostriches are
God bless those guys who fight against poachers and protect animals on the front lines. God knows I wouldn't have the heart/guts/balls to do it, especially being from a first world country
You sound like a punk ass bitch
@@ohkay2360 You sound like a stupid asshole
I honestly don't understand why we can't establish and permit 'defence teams', (all over the world), to be allowed to shoot poachers on sight. That would solve the problem, literally overnight.
But no blessings for the gay or lesbian wildlife community right 😡👆🤡
"I just remember his expression when he stood up, he was so... proud of his achievement." The Leopards face: 😐
😂 “Great, so now I’m hunting ... wiggly mud?”
@@nimue325 wiggly mud I can't tf✋😭😭😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣
6:40 imagine biting into a chicken nugget and it blows up like a Will E Coyote contraption. 😂
😂😂
The kazoo noises were disrespectful. Many caterpillars lost their lives 😩
well it would make your ears ring... that is for sure.
I think it's so cool how all the sea predators worked together and each got some food, then they were like "aye mister whale is here, let's get outta the way cuz he needs the rest" then mr whale was like "NOM"
I need you to narrate this for some reason it’s funny thinking of it being narrated like this
Among all, Sardines are the ones who indeed have a purpose in life.
The first clip about the injured elephant Is amazing ... The people treated the elephant are like gardian angels ❤❤
Gordon Buchanan is the one who said they use the snares because they want the ivory. I will never, ever comprehend how anyone could kill such an animal for the ivory, why would you do that ? Go buy fake ivory, find something else to waste your money on. Elephants are highly intelligent, social animals who deserve far better from humans, the supposedly smarter humans.🤔🙄🤦♀️ It's like how they poach rhinos for their horns, which are made of the same thing hair and fingernails are. NO medicinal value whatsoever. Leave the animals alone, thank God for people who watch over and care for them.. 💚💖
26:15 *Nature documentary guy speculating on sloth's habit for deficating* Sloth: "Bruh I'm taking a shit do you mind?"
11:45 the song, It translates as “ I am confused, I am shocked, because I have never seen anything like this” the language his speaking called is Wolof
Sardines be like: we need to form the shape of a killer-whale and we got this !
I cannot with the sound effects in the caterpillar scene lmao
Narrator: "BOO!" Sloth: "Oh, hey David."
03:43 Imagine walking down the street, then passing out only to wake up an hour later, and realizing a bunch of guys stalked you, darted you, and gave you free healthcare.
Sardines: we're in the endgame now.
At 34:50 The experience of the dominant male 😲 Balancing on his tail with hands on the other's shoulder kicking him with brute force. Man he's tough and rough.
The tail actually acts as a third leg when they kick out. I watch an australian wild life rescuer which does rescue the occasional kangaroo. They put up large stuffed animals (kids toys) for the juveniles to practice on.
Mudskipper be like: "Notice me Senpai!!!"
Man of culture.
lmaoo
33:26 My Man's on steroids.
🤣🤣🤣
He names tyrone
18:05 the finisher...... stunning and amazing feast
Sardines: "ha ha stupid idiots can't defeat us" Narrator: "Too-nah" Sardines: "I want to apologize"
14:10 i like how his tail gone up like a cat he was really proud in himself (:
13:29 the birds: "There's a cat here? I've never seen a cat dig in the mud before! What?!"
Imagine being the person in the middle of that sardine buffet.
I wonder if the camerman even gets bitten or just knocked silly
@@fluffybunny3178 I'd assume everything being in its evolutionary habitat will have so much speed and agility they'll all dodge the cameraman.
@@SirTorcharite True but I would like to see the sardine blooper reel for funsies
@@SirTorcharite We could say that about humans on land and we fuck up all the time. Bet you there are animal idiots in the wild.I can imagine the other sea creatures rolling their eyes as herman the dolphin comes in and crashes into the others.
The sardine one is really spectacular. I remember watching a scene similar to this in my class and I started crying because of how beautiful predators work together to achieve their common goal while helping one another.
Feel so privileged to watch this, thank you
That's gotta be frustrating, giant swarm of fish swimming around practically within grasp, but everytime you bite down, nothing.
I remember this leopard from years ago this was his first kill and I was so glad because he hadn't eaten a thing since his mom ran him away. I didn't worry about him again. 😄👍
Every creation of GoD is Wonderfull indeed.
16:34 Wow! Mammals, fishes, and birds all working together to hunt and survive!
This is beautiful. I would like to be able to thanks all the crew behind this work. We need more of nature, more of our real past, our earth's companions. We ARE this
Top moments in history: a dog opens its eyes....
Nobody, I mean nobody can talk, narrate documentaries like David Attenborough. His voice is so soothing and so perfectly suited to chronicle wildlife. He is a legend.
I cried watching that elephant! Humans are too selfish!
Didn't they help it
why its none of your business the elephant was injured because of the poachers
18:07 watching them work in harmony and then the grand finale at the quite magnificent I can see the reason why there’s so many people involved in documentation to helping wild animals
Shark, tuna, dolphin, sea lion, shearwater: eating sardines Whale: My turn
This documentary is wonderful, just like most made by the BBC! It is an incentive for me to improve my understanding of English.
I smell some cap . You just wrote clear perfect English
@@drewbedford2646 there are many other countries and cultures that start learning to *read and write* English when they are young and entering school. Pronunciation of and understanding the language being spoken is much more difficult when your own language is completely different. Imagine learning to write Korean (or whatever) as a child but never speaking it until 20 years later you happen to meet some from Korea? And trying to hold a conversation. Haven't you ever taken a second language in school? Many times writing that language is much easier than listening to yourself and others butcher tf out of it. Especially when you consider all the different accents of people who speak English. That's not even to mention slang terms... Ex. I have an online friend from Japan who reads and writes perfect English as she's been taught to from childhood. But having facetime or discord calls is much more difficult for either of us to understand without real concentration. (Although she says facetime is very helpful as she can see my face as I pronounce words and it helps her to figure out how to properly say each word)
The whale one was my fav. I just loved it and the music just adds to it so beautifully magical.
Whale: oh look sardines! Also whale: * opens mouth and eats the whole sardines club * 18:06
no is is talking about 29:02-31:02? the hare escape is epic🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I seriously watched that moment when the whale comes about 10 times. Still have goosebumps! Amazing!
35:31 those joeys are like “daaaang”
My favorite channel, especially during quarantine....those kangaroos, Dammmm!!!
The elephant was like: i got you bro here he is 12:50
It's so amazing to see those touch me not pods exploding that sums up my childhood when I used to pop them with my hands they're just simply so satisfying.
sardines: feels safer in numbers also sardines: continues to die by every other sea animal
Can we appreciate how the cameras managed to record ocean action even when everything was a mess...
That sardine feeding frenzy footage is just UNREAL!!! Amazing.
those sardines be having bounties on their heads
14:30 This part is my favourite, in nature either you do or die
Teamwork... nothing like it in the existence.
Mind blowing visuals and videography of the predetors hunting sardines..
Sir David Attenborough always the best narrator in my heart!
Another stunning compilation. Its amazing how animals are able to operate in such harsh conditions and be completely effective. Wonderous!
17:55 When your raid has facepulled all the mobs including the final boss
Mr. Attenborough watching the sloth taking poop now lives inside my head rent free.
13:13 that elephant is such a snitch😂
They’re very smart too so I wonder if it was intentional lol
I love how nature figures out survival of the fittest, it like "3, 2, 1 FIGHT!"
Everybody gangsta till the whale arrives! (17:57)
The Lavian The past 20 years called - they are happy to make 2020 more enjoyable ;)
The Lavian You are not fun to chat with.
Watching the mudskippers is like a baby first steps. The evolution from sea to land and realization this is how we came to be. Also, "I heard you liked mudkips..."
Just beautiful
the sloth is literally my spirit animal
They way he slept so similar to me
You said it 👆🤡🍌
“Even now the ostrich could land a fatal kick” *lightly shoves leopard*
Thank you guys for making and documenting these videos, it’s amazing and I enjoy watching it! ❤️
“ a dogs hearing is also superhuman”
I swear I was a sloth in a past life lmao
Same
That whole "sardines vs rest of the ocean" sequence was spectacular. Wow.
Simply BEAUTIFUL!💓
Touch-me-not seed to the caterpillar: "You eat me so I YEET you."
The elephant situation, 😢😢😢
☹️
