This was actually one of the most difficult shoots for the show because they had to get the camera on a wire that spanned the river to follow the progress of the web being built.
i was thinking about how difficult it would be to get these incredibly focused shots on just a small thread over 25 meters... but they did it and it looks fantastic
@@tunacharm Yeah. I was thinking the same, that shallow depth of field.
Did they not use a drone?
@@ZergRadio Not for this shot.
Cant wait till we just let AI do everything... 🎉 Wont be long now before the whole worlds on fire. 🫂🫣
More people need to watch these shows. Forty years ago I was watching "The Living Earth" and "Nature" and those nature documentaries instilled a love for ecology and biodiversity. Today, we are fortunate to still have decent documentaries like this that focus on the life without having to resort to shitty soundtracks and loud, nonsensical narration, not to mention unnecessary and often invasive interaction with wildlife. I guess some need greater entertainment value but that's a shame because our natural world is spectacular and the work that Attenborough and the BBC crews do to capture these moments is just as impressive.
It is a shame that with all the hundreds of "channels" we have now, nature shows get buried under all the mind-numbing distractions.
100 % true.. The older documentaries are more in tune with the animals than today's, which I feel focus more on loud soundtracks and the new technological equipment that's been enhanced for our viewing pleasure.
Thank you for this amazing research and footage
*Tougher than steel and softer than cotton* 🕸
What an amazing little spider...🕸 ❤🕸
I'm surprised she doesn't just stand there slamming her car door slapping her dead fish on her bridge...
@Doidera-kw2sr ummmmm....I'm not an overt fan of spiders....but...
God put them together for sure. I love all of these creatures I have found a new love for spiders. We need them!
@@Gabriel.1985. yeah man keep spiders real...
This is how the world wide Web began? The spider deserves royalty
Are you asking or are you telling?
Bruh
Hahahahaha 🤣 good one
Spiders are amazing creatures.
This whole video itself is 10 times better than the entire plot of madame web
Spiders are a treasure
Personally I would rather watch nature than Netflix
Nature & chill
you tellin me netflix's masterpiece "cuties" isn't on your list of things you want to watch? 😂🤢
@@jayocaine2946 not even close
@@axela.1884 someone speaks my language
@@jayocaine2946aww you just had to go there lol
Not sure what’s more amazing, the spider or the photographer. 🤯
😮 Im afraid of spiders but this spider girls' talent is damn amazing and impressive. Wow.
I have terrible arachnophobia. Small ones, big ones - it doesn't matter. I usually cannot watch even a documentary of them. However, she didn't frighten me. I am glad I was able to see this doc in its entirety. Well done doc.
all spider can shoot web , which is yucky
Incredible little spider! So powerful for such a small creature. Thanks for sharing this video.
I have seen these crazy lines in Italy too. you can easily spot them when there's a single thread reflecting the light between 2 trees
Here in Canada, too. I think that's just a quick mode of transportation for spiders.
I am speechless at this! Incredible.
spiders are the true architects
Its so insane how a 1-2 cm creature casually shoots a 25m rope over a river
The way of folding of the threads is amazing
Sheer poetry to watch. Ingenious insect very capable of taking care of herself
Nature, Attenborough, absolutely mind blowing. Love nature more than the human race itself!
Absolutely fascinating!!!
The wonderful wonders of nature Spiders are one of the most amazing creatures. Throwing nets is an effective method for hunting insects. Genius spider. Thank you, BBC.
Loved watching it reel in all that silk like a tiny fisherman. Waste not, want not.
What a talented and beautiful artist!😮😊
By the way, your voice is amazing!
Sir David Attenborough. A legend of nature documentaries.
I have never seen spider throwing web up and close personal...thanks to Peter
Me personally,… I’ve always been so interested in spiders 🕷️
So you must also waiting for Spiderman : beyond the spider verse
I'm severly arachnophobic, but I still find them endlessly fascinating. I like watching them in documentaries, so that I don't have to worry about them being close.
@@jippalippa 😂 what is to fear about them
and robbing gas stations, right?
Same here, not just spiders but most apex predators intrigues me.
This isn't a new video. BBC included this in a previous documentary some years ago - sorry I don't recall exactly when. The narration may have been re-recorded with an older David Attenborough, but the footage, pote tially exactly the same based on memory, is certainly re-used. That said, the natural abilities of this spider are, and remain, absolutely amazing. Spiders are incredible creatures in ability and intelligence.
... It Could have been The BBC Documentary About... I'm Not 100% Sure that It Wasn't About SPIDER'S... YEH!.... Greetings from Saturn 🪐 3:53
Thank you for this amazing video!!
wonderful! Congratulations BBC, always excellent
nice camera work
Scientists still can't figure out how such a small creature can produce so much web - nature is so much superior
Maybe you haven't figured out But there is plenty of research on it
Anything that catches pests, especially mosquitos, is my friend.
RIP, dragonfly.
Impossible footage!!! Until you did it...
Wow, so amazing the way it wraps up.
Spiders are absolutely FASCINATING ❤❤❤
They are the octopuses of the insect world
Wow, never knew, that the female spiders can spit out a 25 m long of silk. Amazing how they catch their prey. Thanks for your contribution to my knowledge. God bless 🙏🏿❤️
Her strategy is simple, wait till I walk into a single strand and laugh at me flailing around in a panic.
Incredibly amazing !
Nature is amazing wow
That's was really cool watch. I really do learn few things about animals and insect just watching BBC videos.
Amazing! Both what nature does, and how it has been so nicely photographed!
I like the way the silk reflects light
Okay. I'm impressed. I felt my jaw drop at the length of the initial strand.
These shots are amazing.
I had a web in my yard last year that spanned a 20 gap between trees. It had to be done in a similar way to this spider. The body shape and proportions of the spider in my yard were very similar to the vid spider also. Southern Indiana
Spinnen sind einfach toll. Gruss Jürgen 🤠
Simply Amazing!
Just like an orb weaver spider
That's so cool. I love nature's creations 🕸🕷
“Tougher than steel.” Someone walks up and smashes the web with a steel bar. “Who’s tough now?”
Nothing worse than walking through a spider web in the morning. Makes me feel violated every time.
I love these videos❤
Wow amazing
Fascinating!
Just wonderful ❤
Incredible creation from an incredible Creator
Woow so amazing😮❤
Magical 🥰🥰🥰🕸🕸🕸 Love them.
Attenbourough you beauty ❤🎉
So amazing!!
I can't believe there's an entire subset of animals that eats the strings that come out of their butt just in case they need to make more butt string later.
This film footage is awesome 😎
Arachnid engineering 🕸️🕷️🕸️🕷️
Amazing creature
I love it when scientists are baffled....God knew what he was doing when he created the impossible. Just like a bumble bee....thanks for this! Hate spiders but much respect to her - what a great creation!
so interesting , had no idea such a spider existed.
Freakin' utterly amazing. How nature slowly produced such a creature, from naturally selecting out the survivors, to this current form, boggles my mind.
Nature produced it, yea? Okay...
Now I can imagine how spiders build that trap network
Sorprendente e increíble. Trabajo de las arañas
Amazing!
شكرا على الفيديو
amazing 😍
nature is just mind boggling 😜
Amazing
Mind boggling!!! 🤷🏻♂️
Wonderful ❤
If you're ever up late at night, and get the chance to watch a spider spin its web, watch and enjoy.
So that's what I've been walking into when outdoors...interesting 🤔
Wow....Walk into that..that's when you find out you know karate.
Damn.
Thank you SO much for this video!!! I come across these bridges kayaking on Russian River and it’s always fascinating - I duck under them to avoid breaking. 🖤
How does a spider even generate webs in their body . Only Toby Mcguire can do it without a formula 😂
Lady spider needs to learn from Peter Parker to shoot web fast and far. Joke aside, this is super incredible. Amazing documentary, BBC! Kudos!
When I see a spider it just committed suicide.
if something came out of me that long i'd die.💀
Yeah, sure. Watch a video about spiders before bed.
Hahaha 😂
Well you could watch one about Mantids instead - you've seen the videos on mantids?? 😄
Super !
Awesome
wow i didn't know little spiders make a sound like a fishing reel
😄 I love the BBC sound effects!
Ok spider 🕷️🕸️
wooooooow 😱😱😱
Love Spiders 🕸️🕷️ and this is so marvelous to view in HighDefinition... I've even grown to 🧡 Octopuses too 🐙 their Intelligence is captivating 😁🎒📚
Great
Wow. This actually just explained something I was puzzled about. Now it seems obvious. I live in Massachusetts and we don't have spiders like this, of course. But one day I was leaving my house and almost walked into a spider and her web. It was dead center between two posts on my porch. It wasn't in a corner but smack dab dead center with nothing close by above below or to the sides. I was thinking, how in the world did she do that. Wind. DUH. I guess I'm stupid, because it seems obvious now. lol
Glad you said "real life spider" and not "fake spider" or you would have confused us all.
Engineering weaving the handloom technique and the the helicopter insect becoming a Mummy.
Grass is always greener on the other side.
Wow that’s crazy but I remember when I was a kid I used try and catch flies or whatever bugs in my house and throw it in a web
