[sinankosak]

This is a great video! It is exactly what I needed for my physics lesson about waves. Check out my lesson presentation about the physics of how scorpions utilize waves to catch their pray: digiscience net - amazing animals tab.

[Ba3dadBoy]

I'm still amazed. How the hell do they get this photography. How many trailes do they need until they get the footage they need

[the1andonlyjman]

[TRUDOWNSOUTH]

@the1andonlyjman

HA! XD

[tehlulz576]

That was one of the coolest documentaries I've seen. I love when it talks about their vision and how they interpret sound.

[bopkick5]

what is the difference between a lobster and a scorpion?

[tehlulz576]

Well for starters, the lobster lives in the water. Second of all, scorpions have tails with stingers equipped with poison. Scorpions are insects, lobsters are related to crabs, the crustacean family. DUMBASS!!!

Haha I'm just kidding.

[bopkick5]

how do they see. what kind of vision have they got?

[tehlulz576]

Watch the fucking movie.

[bopkick5]

yo man please dont swear in front of the scorpion and the animals. it doesnt seem right

[tehlulz576]

I'm sorry I was swearing in front of the scorpion, I wasn't thinking clearly. I won't do it anymore, just let the scorpion know that I wasn't at my best that day, and tell it not to judge me as a person for using those swear words.

[bopkick5]

thankyou friend.

[the1andonlyjman]

Best convo ever.

[DragonSporks]

@tehlulz576 Scorpions aren't insects, actually (rule of thumb: insects have only 6 legs); they're arachnids, like spiders, and about as closely related to crustaceans, thus, lobsters, as they are to insects.

Lobsters do live in the water, though. I will give you that.

And yes, scorpions sting.

[tehlulz576]

If you'll notice, you'll realize I said "I'm kidding." Good job, you disproved a person who wasn't being serious. Give yourself a nice pat on the back, tough guy! : )

[DragonSporks]

Whoops, sorry.

I thought you were just kidding about the 'dumbass' part. Guess I got that rather backwards, huh?

[arianeskimo]

what is the name of that snake?

[boogeymanhydrobudda]

hahaha im gonna sound like a total dork noticing but the bug walking sound sounds exactly like in ocarina of time lol

[525Leomas]

Thats Crazyy

[aamantubillah]

whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[XxnEr0xXxMaNexX]

the scorpion isn't blind but it's deppending on the vibrations. And the snake might die too eventualy.

[reinic91]

what series is this??

[jattxyz]

Maybe Snake and Bug are working as a Team to get the Scorpion...poor guy got double teamed.

[bmxhaircut]

I remember seeing this on tv. In the actual program you see the beetle walking away victorious to reggae music. Hilarious! Can't believe they cut it out!

[lronmice]

Snake pwn. These videos need to be longer. :(

[mamalamabean]

how do they get these things on cam without scaring the creatures...its like they know they are being filmed and they all actors/actresses

[DezisSick]

They are at quite a distance so the bugs don't notice them, god bless zoom

[nhjo]

That Bug was kind of fucked at the start... like a mexican standoff with all the guns pointed at him. Except the guns are motherfucking snakes and scorpions. What a lucky bug.

[ViciousRanger]

Scorpion Fail

[tommykoko]

[wcwashington]

[salvator419]

[ODAL123]

[mike240kune]

Great video!

[lunarsaint]

woahh... I didn't expect that snake catch the scorpion....

[misterstorrs]

[misterstorrs]

[wrsantos]

It seemed as if the little insect knew what was happening so he set up the scorpion. Just watch him stomp his feet in place. Smart little bugga!!!

[gothpunk702]

yes im sure the insect knew exactly what was going on..... i bet that the insect and the snake are best buddies....... (by the way im being sarcastic)
