Monster Bug Wars- The Fearless Tree Scorpion

[jinrahsdi]

all talks no action.

[kuruptzZz]

I was just gonna say "wtf are those pincers on its face???"

[DJKahuna]

"It fears nothing".... except the infamous dinosaur mantis that ScienceChannel keep showing us.

That, and size 8 trainers.

[Vahnxz]

Wait a second... Mandible like teeth, hunts everything in a jungle and is a "Predator"...?

[ilovecvCA]

WOOOW NERF SKARNER

[TimeManInJail]

i feel embarrass to watch this..fags gota make weird animal sound =.=

[warandmorewar]

"It fears no one" umm bugs dont fear.

[Tactual]

@warandmorewar They fear me when I'm armed with a handy-vac

[demonkazi]

LOL @ the 2 top comments

[angelazrail]

all this built up and then they dont show me how this thing acctually kills a prey.

[karasupet]

THIS are stings! Not that "things" at the desert scorpion tails

[Blasteen83]

fears no one? it fears chuck noris

[Entity005]

question: what is the orange marker on the timer of the video to?

[KidxWizard]

It has claws in its mouth lol

[readthisandsmile1]

tearing it apart sound like the rock in The return of the mummy ROFL

[mousegal1]

i dont know what u expect, but i like the "weird" sounds! XD

[dboynv]

who the f dislikes videos like this? were they really expecting something different than what the tittle suggests?

[janmauricepogi]

is this deadly to humans???

[PinkFairyFIoss]

lmao who spotted the funny eyes @ 0:29 x)

[BRFFYL]

The sounds got to go overall awesome video

[Castorios]

I thought I heard wilder beasts in the rain forest ?

[btarrh]

Did you get a PhD to tell us that a scorpion can sting and pinch? The sounds are freaking lame!

[Feralus69]

Lol, there's no such thing as a "tree scorpion", It's an Isometrus maculatus and this species doesn't "rip it's prey apart", look at it's chelae! It's no emperor scorpion, it doesnt have the power to rip anything apart, it's pinschers are to hold it's prey so it's mouth parts can take it in. It's venom, being a buthid which makes it's venom more potent than other type, is what subdues it's prey. They really need to research their shit before making a show on it.

[THEAUZIWILDLIFE]

@Feralus69 its over eghadurated

[EJADMN9089]

@Feralus69 wow



[806TO713]

30 second unavoidable ads...

[TheSummoner10]

nearby bugs: lalalala

scorpion: get over here!

[azakuz]

The video's interesting and all, but the sound effects are beyond absurd. Pretty sure I heard sound effects from the game Black and White in there..

[Shadowblood66]

@azakuz I agree, they try to make the video more interesting with stupid sound effects... =/

Some people came here to learn about insects. Now they probably think that scorpions grunt like dinosaurs.

[EJADMN9089]

@Shadowblood66 if they really think that scorpions grunt like dinosaurs then they don't need to be wasting their time watching youtube they need to be in some special ed class!

[XXISimplicityXXI]

Hope I do good, I don't want to be bug size next life lol.

[1800simon1800]

the 'scientists' tells us things we already know.. "it captures prey by stinging it with its venom" no shit lol

[cassand14]

BUT WILL IT BLEND

[xam9856]

@cassand14 So...much...WIN!

[11Cheesewaffles]

But is it a match for my hammer?

[samsing900]

i should make a video about tree scorpion vs my scissors or fire let see who tough and scare

[joefradder]

it doesnt fear anything well i hope it doesnt fear my size 11 boot when i put my foot on his hairy ass

[MARSHMELLOWBOOTY252]

the sound effects get annoying when you are REALLY trying to learn



[Kulgera4]

@MARSHMELLOWBOOTY252 So, what are you going to do when you're observing real-life animal conflicts with sound fx?

[MARSHMELLOWBOOTY252]

@Kulgera4 I, I--i dont get what your asking

[killgore333333]

@MARSHMELLOWBOOTY252 hes saying that if you ever have to deal with a ladybug that makes raptor screeches or a spider that cries like a pig you wont stand a chance sonny .

[kanzu121]

ok now what the hell scorpions on jungels i tought they are only in deserts

[WaRRd3N]

i love it when it a scorpion does it with that tail poisin thing ^^

[paralysekid]

0:29 epic face :D:D

[NoobSnoopy]

november = scorpion <333

[Llynok]

How uh... how did this demonstrate it being fearless?

[pjm13000]

i find alot of bugs where i live i have scorpions and a praying mantis but i find alot if anyone wants to see a fight tell me and ill try my best to make it happen

[blahblahlikespie]

bugs roar? uhhh?

[Ward8668]

If you're blind, this most be very confusing.

[STAMINAS1]

man it was a tiger at 36:00

[blackdino12]

fears nothing but my shoe

[cheesyarse]

i was going to get a pet scorpion once but he roaring would have kept me awake all night.

[Flukyjoker]

This is what I want. The title is goddamn MONSTER BUG WARS.

I dunno what you asshats are complaining about, the cheese is good.

[PM011]

Nature for the intellectually impaired.

[Silhouette93]

@PM011

LOL'D

[POPCANA]

seriously enough with the complaints. EVERY FUCKING video has the top comment of "sound effects are gay" or "why is there sound effects of dinosaurs". Then some moron has to post how much they hate the sound effects even though the top comments already establish this. The point is established. We get it people ENOUGH already. Christs sakes!!!!

[coachherron]

i love how i keep getting terminex ads every video

[rock8pie]

The sounds are because if it was silent, most humans wouldn't continue watching. We are all too used to having ourselves bombarded with sensory input that we have spoiled ourselves. WE NEED THE DINOSAUR SOUND EFFECTS to remain interested.

Sad, huh

[4513radkej]

@geekrobot I just noticed that in the credits the show names 2 people as "Bug wranglers". Why would they need wranglers unless they were moving the bugs into position to fight each other?

[4513radkej]

This is such a cool show. Do you guys think the photographers found this scorpion being attacked or threw it in the green ant colony?

[johnroxdemsox2]

@4513radkej They have to come across it naturally, it is illegal for them to interfere in anyway

[geekrobot17]

@4513radkej When I 1st seen it, I thought that it was planned out. Like if the director said," I wonder what will happen if a Tree Scorpion faces an Ant Colony?" :)

[cantAhah]

1:38 LOL. They got tired of shooting this scorpion because it never had an encounter with another insect so they gave it a grasshopper leg. Fail!

[Zahn]

I wanna see this fight the mantis.

[Silhouette93]

Its sad that nature programs must resort to dramatization of nature to get ratings.

[tanman1110]

@Silhouette93 Watching bugs doing this with no audio sucks you know

[Silhouette93]

@tanman1110

If you ever watched a good documentary, you know that this isn't the case. Audio of bugs is possible and interesting dialogue helps.

Exhibit A: watch?v=XuKjBIBBAL8

Also I'm not just talking about the dinosaur noises they've added. Just listen to the commentary, they are personifying the god damn bug to increase interest.

"...there's no where it's scared to go, it fears no one...", erm...what?

[philessexuk]

@Silhouette93 i totally agree i didnt realise that the verified that these scorpions fear no one they must have a translator or something lol

[Saber0003]

@Silhouette93 Its a show about bugs fighting.. Who cares if they personify the bugs? It helps the audience connect to them, which is important considering bugs are alien creatures to so many people.

[kandiman7979]

@Silhouette93 and u whine like a bitch. just another idiotic observation like your own.

[AceofDlamonds]

@Silhouette93

lol.

I'd rather hear rustling, whispy sounds made by moving insects and arachnids than these sounds and dynamic hosts lol

[lilsm555]

@Silhouette93 they are hyping up the fight duhh lmao

[RobyllPhotos]

those dinosaur and alien sounds make this so epic

[ariezmo]

@RobyllPhotos lol agreed

[Builderanddestroyer]

@RobyllPhotos No they dont they get really annoying.

[VAThomas77]

@RobyllPhotos I KNOW RIGHT!!

[FateDeceiver]

@RobyllPhotos I know right

[SosoSeth1990]

Wow that thing was gnarly looking eating the gewing catepillar D:
