Praying Mantis Vs Hummingbird

[mantisownshornet]

all retards saying that the mantis got lucky, bullshit. and it didnt have a heart attack either. to begin with how in the living hell do you know about its stress, are you a bird whisperer? face it the mantis ASSRAPES!

[j5bb]

daaamn that mother fucker really ate that ni99a wow

[keeyk118b]

shit happens

[mloclam7]

ill crush that shit with my boot

[MrPitseleh]

How the hell are mantids that strong? You'd figure the hummingbirds fast beating wings would allow him to break free or that the mantis would either fall or drop it with only 4 tiny legs holding them up there.

[Stormstallion]

@MrPitseleh Hummingbirds are very susceptible to stress - the trauma of the attack causes them to have a heart attack. Basically, their body betrays them, making them easy prey for a mantis.

[MrPitseleh]

@Stormstallion Oh ya, didn't think of that but you're right birds are pretty badly effected by stress. Still doesn't explain how the mantis has that good of a grip on with those tiny legs.

[leadpipeninja111]

@Stormstallion this is true as birds already have an extreamely fast heart rate to begin with.

[junglemonkeysex]

dang, that hummingbird got shit ruined..... g's shit yeah

[seanobot4]

lol kool



[goe5]

King of insects must protect their title

[SuckMyRawHemroid]

Hummingbird said, bring da amba lamps!!!!

[Harmonyww]

@SuckMyRawHemroid ...While the Mantis grabbed his bags and walked away shouting "I told you not to fuck with me!"

[psc777]

Oh, so the praying mantis is saving the humming bird from falling to his death?  I fail to see the "damn!" in this video.

[CarbonBackbone]

damn!

[chillysardine]

I saw a picture of this in National Geographic and was shocked. I would have never even thought it was true either. I love nature so cruel yet so beautiful.

[devinanegrete]

lol

[ScreechOwlStudioscom]

If you find a praying mantis, kill it. They are evil preying mantis.

[AcidSerum]

i gotta say it  OWNED

[malakaki111]

Wild hummingbird fainted!

[loopofpoop]

PWNED

[wolfzero85]

so cool

[robbie419toledo]

that is so fucking cool

[ramtin1001]

shit that scares me

[sm0ne35]

THAT PRAYN MANTIS KNEW KUNGFU..

[JEZUZ06]

Daaamn that bird got owned!!

[usausaarmy]

ohhh this i 3aasooom

[mockingbird83]

should see how humans have 'learnt' from the praying mantis. Do a search for 'chow gar' and watch the first video. Shows how the heavy fore-arms of the mantis can be used by us too

[milvipes]

That's the southern mantis style, the northern style, founded by 王朗, predates Chow Gar.

[odlaw18]

Very interesting. Sorry for the hummingbird. You may want to look at my videos since you are interested in hummingbirds. A black-chinned is eating out of my mouth.

[Autumnvicky]

Wife wants to see humming birds, buys the feeder, excited to see them then...this happens. lol Nice XD

[meghanallen]

no way i can't even catch the bird. How did the mantis catch the bird.

[BATCHARRO]

Fraction of a second movement on the mantis, combined with remaining motionless.

[earthbenderzore15]

oh dang,is the mantis eating the bird??..lol

[notujoo]

i love P.m.!

[vampiressofshaddows]

omfg! squash that bug!

[dirkofyork]

wow nice vid.... good footage 5 star

[logic2reason]

how is this possible. YOu would think, a few seconds of the birds wings, would set it free, or take the mantis for a ride, THEN die, not die at the food source..... thumbs down for one of my favorite birds..... it needs more TESTOSTERONE!

[autobot3123]

This was filmed on my birthday!

[Toiletboy1]

The food chain is really fucked up, and imagine all the things not caught on tape.

[Roxanimal]

...yeah. But imagine the things caught ON tape.

[Weazell]

That's insane

[Roxanimal]

Hahaha Listen to the ladies. Midwest wives club.

[calito0010]

LOL

[beowulven]

@Roxanimal

"I mean, I guess it's nature..."

[spinokiller]

Wat does that has 2 do wit this????

[Ozzy0sbourne]

lol no idea

[Shotgunner56]

Ozzy, that was a REALLY GAY comment

fucking racist

[number154]

So now we're fighting racism with homophobia? -_-

[Shotgunner56]

no, he was talking sme stuff about n@ggers being homophobic

[GetUpAndTryAgain]

that bird didn't listen to her pimp.

[Chiefmojorisin42016]

Trust me.... that isn't fake. You must have seen the other videos that are clearly real... i.e. Mantis vs. Mouse. It happens more than you would think.

[joejoeholmes]

if you think thats crazy, check out mantis vs snake..... crazy shit.

[Bougalou777]

thats somewhat grusome

[angryfaygo]

that praying mantis is brutal

[tacotac10]

There have been other occurances of hummingbirds being eaten by praying mantises, so it's not made up.

[hoohainstated]

i never would have thought in a million years.....thats why i think this person found a dead hummingbird and gave it to a mantis on a bird feeder, but if this is real then holy crap

[PFCAhammed]

theres another clip on youtube from discovery channel where you can actually see a mantis snatching a hummingbird

[Stickman550]

fucking campers

[DigDoug309]

Hahahahahaha

[Rubenozorio]

wow... I'd say that the Praying Mantis should be renamed to the Chuck Norris Insect. [2] He cached a bird!!! OMG *0*

[hardleecure]

wow... I'd say that the Praying Mantis should be renamed to the Chuck Norris Insect.

[Jeff7im]

AHAHHAHAHHAHAHA

[griegmic]

touche hardleecure

[KiraTheZhinigami]

Okay never fuck with a mantis or it'll kick your ass.

[zxzrp0]

Just, owned....

[godzio14]

hmm ages and ages ago poeople was observing them mantises and develop kungfu style from them....i love them

[BlondeCurlsBlueEyes]

I didn't think any bug could eat a bird :O

[xterminator771]

take a look at a bird eating spider...u'll love it.

[IUPH15]

this is true you should of and second off is dildo a bird or a sex toy?> and is it true if you dont use it you loose it? ples ei need feedback on this

[m0laria]

a dildo is actually a species of bird, and it is true - if you do not use it, you will lose it.

[pntballer310]

that mutha fucka must have been quick to catch dat humming bird

[Maevee100]

hahaha

[amkuc27]

What if you scaled mantises to like, the size of a large dog or something.

We'd be fucked.

[pntballer310]

[fall0utboy]

The Description is hilarious. And also, WHAT THE FUCK KIND OF BUG DESTROYS THE SHIT OUT OF A FULL GROWN ASS BIRD LIKE THAT. it's like a human male hangin off a cliff with a damn cow in his mouth

[MUSICISTHELIFEYEAH]

omg poor bird ild rather the bird it the mantis

[nodvick]

damn mantis, nice catch.. I've seen them catch bats and snakes with almost no effort, but a humming bird? nice.

[Martins0554]

WTF? this world is so wicked, the work of the birds, is eats insects, but what the hell happened here? the insects going to future eating the predators, '-' these bugs scary me '-' no more comments...

[BunnaySango]

[VenomPaintball]

[Existantia]

Mantis: "Can I has a hummingbirdz?"

[YouJustGotHustled]

lololol

[Existantia]

*bowing* Thank you! Thank you!

[ColonelMarksman]

What's with "predator vs prey" naming of vids? Its not a battle, its a slaughter of the food.

[AnaxParthenope]

fly little bird! fly away!!

[verenenkeli]

shit....praying mantis' are such vile creatures!

[6t5]

Chuck Norris wouldn't even fuck with a mantis... ho yeayuh

[milvipes]

@6t5 The Mantis probably taught him all the martial art moves. There're two unrelated praying mantis styles: northern & Hakka.

[JonesMcgahee]

shits weeeeeak

[firej666]

mantis dont take no shit

[MadCircle01]

FAKE! you made ur pet hummingbird play dead & taped it to the mantis. kidding cool video.if you only would of come out to film a bit earlier this would of been in national geographics

[rocknrollcody]

Mantis Says: Your Shit Is WEAK

[allbike13]

kill that bich

[benevolentcrimelord]

thats the radest thing ive ever seen

[sinh1992]

THAT'S CRAZY! how the hell can this be? hummingbird got snapped and feed on :/ i feel bad such nice birdy

[MeteoricDragon]

I saw a praying mantis on one of our hummingbird feeders, and the birds saw it and kept their distance. then i chased it off.

[transammike]

One of the most bad ass predators on the planet!

[mapache11]

Also check out the mantis vs the hornet. Those hornets are the menaest insects on the planet. Between their stingers and their jaws they can take pretty much anything.

[mapache11]

There is a video of a mantis getting devoured by a tarantula. The tarantula took out the mantis in less than a second. It wasn't really a fair fight because the mantis wasn't able to defend itself. But I doubt it would have won anyway. There was too much of a difference in size, and the tarantula was hungry.

[trizzletroy28]

the mantis can handle anything its own size or maybe even somewhat bigger. this is one of the greatest predators out there

[Tim4sX]

anything that isn't an equal sized predator maybe.

[andresq4545]

This isn't surprising... Mantids eat birds, mice, lizards, snakes, fish, and turantulas all the time. I think the only animals that are about that size that could take out a mantis would be giant beetles, scorpions, and water bugs.

[SpartanJose777]

You know, I think that if the mantis had a couple million more years to evolve, it would eventually usurp humans as the dominant species. Those things can kill anything.

[kenny004]

get the fuck outta here... no fucking way that motherfcuker caught a bird.... i hate them even more now those discusting fags

[marcola90]

holy crap, that damnya fuckin mantis caugh a bird! umbeliavable, predator turned into the prey!auhuhahuauh fuck...

[MisterE87]

hummingbirds aren't really predators, but yeah, still cool

[SupaKawaiiii]

haha wierdo what do they prey on flowers?

[Keyshredder]

Badass bug, the mantises should form their own insectoid mafia

[pqwilrj]

Watch all the praying mantis videos on YouTube. Basically, mantis > rest of the food chain.

[Tyrant7J]

No cause it got its ass handed to it by the scolopendra

and the Mantis Shrimp is ten times bettr than all!!!

[ebwandsc00ting]

No, well, The mantis wins against the rest of the bugs, the scolopendra is about 10x bigger than the mantis, thats like if you were attacked by your house..

[Tyrant7J]

lol

[Dinomasic666]

holly shit first time i see mantis caught a BIRD

[capritchard1]

wow crazy shit

[AutoGrafixx]

The conversation in the background is funny!

[Unterschnitzel]

That is ten shades of awesome. Ten friggin shades.

[Coasta101]

well said...

[deathclasp]

Indeed.

[kevz2008]

WHOA

[pythonattack]

do they stop at nothing the next thing they will eat is a dog. although my ackie moniter would wip it's ass, it may be small but it is fast and attacks anything smaller than it's self.

[ShotLilAussie]

If you make a giant mantis it will probably destroy a city.

[Rapaglia1]

If there are more than one mantis, would the plural form be manti? Multiple manti?

It makes sense.

[Coolandstressing]

Actually, the proper term is "mantises"...

[Brink0War]

mantids

[Path2damnation]

Mantits :b

[Rapaglia1]

Mantits! Oh lord......

That's fantastic!

[suprapower420]

"gets its shit ruined" lol!

[Lawrence999666]

Mantis' are great

[goldenagenut]

Wow,I'm impressed. I wouldn't have thought a mantis could do that,though the ones we have here in Florida aren't nearly that large, they get maybe 2" long. Once had one jump up onto my nose when I was looking at it! I freaked! lol That thing is huge.

[Sunmasta]

...Mantis = ownage *cries for hummingbird D:*

, but now if we can only get them to multiply like siafu

[lambertsteel]

that was fuckin awesome

[amazingdany]

They are practicing the scene from Mission Impossible.

[xplaykid]

lololol

[pattrow1992]

God: Why are you here again?

Hummingbird: A Praying Mantis killed me...

God: pussy!

[chineseeyes2006]

The mantis is not only 1 of the deadliest insect but also they eat meat.Mantis are very qiuck and very strong forearms size dont matter.They are also known to kill for nothing at all.I even saw on tv that some kill rats.They are very prized in Asian culture just like the Shaolin kung fu system in Asia.These are very popular cause they fight just like the movements of a mantis.I know this cause study in the art.The mantis insect is known to seize ,capture.Female kills male after mating by eat hea

[Duochan]

Woah, that praying mantis is like... one fuckin bomb, and two... a ninja >.>

[WolfGuy100]

that poor hummingbird!

[ScinoBasher]

fucking owned!

Way to go mantis!

You know for that mantis to eat that hummingbird, thatd be like if you had a whole 12 piece bucket from KFC all to yourself, with the buiscuits.

word up.

[DH2020]

This is equivelent of a human being taking down a buffalo with his bare hands.

[gslkh]

*Mortal Kombat Voice*

FINISH HIM!!!

[ecdact]

that IS so unbelievable!!!!!

[emmax90]

the hummingbird got own by a praying mantises

[Jazded]

Praying Mantis Wins...

Fatality

Flawless Victory!

Freindship?

[Rapaglia1]

Friendship my ass! Praying mantis, you can keep that fucking rainbow!

[yousagonnadie]

Hahaha.

[jordangraham12]

that praying mantis is like kimbo slice and a nucleat bomb in one

[Animos02]

disgrace to the birds

lol fucking killed by a bug

[Rapaglia1]

Oh that is no bug. Those things are satan in the form of a small green flying insect. They will mess you up, too! I got shanked by a brown one. It was gangster. That bitch turned his head side to side while looking at me. Then all of a sudden - WHACK!! He shoved his meat hooks in my finger and then had the balls to lick his lips and fly away. What an asshole! Then to put the icing on cake, he landed on my piece of bread. Look out for those guys. They don't give a shit.

[junkerdave]

Those are wise words indeed. Those things will fuck u up!

[querim77]

praying mantises aren't venomous. Their only weapoon are their good sight and very strong forelegs.

[Razzlesnaps]

does the praying mantis have any venom because i dont see how the bird couldn just fly away

[05005051]

I'm guessing it died of shock, or perhaps fatigue from struggling prior to the rolling of the camera.

[kingbabolos]

man poor hummingbird... IT GOT SHOWED!

[daominous]

Crazy!

I did not think a Mantis was capable of capturing a freaking bird!

Awesome footage.

[sillyasiantrixr4kidz]

that is CRAZY!

ahahha i like the commentary

[dafrandle]

omg thal eat anything

[jerumd]

You can never be too careful being around a praying mantis if it was around 5 times our size. We all be hiding underground if something of that size takes us. It kinda reminds me of a movie called The Mimic. It was a creepy movie.

[killerbee2k]

stupid hummingbird got what was coming. fucking karma man

[Beaucephalis311]

Holy!!!!!!!

[Crowfeather2011]

the mantis pooped on that hummingbirds life

[ubermonkey13]

oh my g--d that's nuts!

[faIIenangel1134]

cool

[assfuck37]

HEEEY!!! how'd the hummingbird die, exactly? i know he caught it, but that doesn't really explain it. or was it still alive? :o

[HentaiGuy42]

Damn things are so high strung it's possible it simply died of shock when it was caught...

[kingbabolos]

yah could be

[darknessdragon99]

poor hummingbird...

[purplepride23]

Are mantis harmful to humans at all? Like and poisons or do they just bite?

[PsiqueLogos]

no can´t hurt as, they are so kute.

[BallCham77]

no they dont have poison, but there claws can hurt if they are big enouph im 12 and im always out catching them with my friends.

[HentaiGuy42]

They can pinch the shit out of you...which, with some of the bigger ones, can be extremely painful. But they can't really do any serious harm.

[skamilf]

how sad...i would of helped that cute bird...

[twistrjosh]

That bird was DEAD.

[DharlynnFox]
