Amazing miniature world - Sir David Attenborough's Life in the Undergrowth - BBC wildlife

[sultanshah80]

I love all these tip of vedios of animal planet.Great vedio.

[essellejaye]

Great video, but why am I seeing adverts before I can view videos on a BBC channel? A fair question I think, given the cost of the TV licence. 

[LisaChuUK]

the rows of termite mounds looks like a graveyard

[neagaritrance]

Damn Nature... you`are beautiful and I love and respect you.

[MoonySolo]

2:05 I see lazy ants

[liamwitdre]

Sir David Attenborough, I salute you.

[chenster420]

Man his voice is soothing.... no homo

[MagnificantLights]

Wow that's amazing

[forgottensomeone]

"But if they would dissapear the land's ecosystem would collapse."

When he said that it gave me shills.

[karakuraable]

I love the way he talks. So calm and fatherly. :) makes me listen to him intently. :)

[bigpurple100]

to exist is a amazing gift from above....

[pixair]

Oh my god ant walls! I want to see that at least once in my life... looks amazing

[MyQwerty678]

Amazing

[peterprice14]

hes right what he says though, if this world didnt have insects, the whole lands eco system would collapse

[peterprice14]

if the female wolf spider doesnt understand while the male approaches her.....she will eat him lmfao

[blavatsky3]

1:29-1:40 Vore

[bugisami]

It's amazing that miniscule brains are capable of so much.

[MrJamesdryable]

HE WOULD BE ABLE TO THINK OF THE BEST SUPERHEROES!

[Hasbo88]

decades from now we'll have the highest definition cameras to view the smallest things unleashing new levels of bug horror.

[1337Figaro]

I believe bugs are way more inteligent than people actually think!

[johnrayordas]

for those of u who wishes creepy crawlers to disappear, think again!!!

[darrenmarkb]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WERE IS PART 2

[y890x]

I LOVE YOU ATTENBOROUGH!!!

[Peterraypatterson]

very cool. such awesome footage

[bobshouse123]

Next time I see a Gillette Fusion blade in the stores I'm going to 'accidentally' knock it off the shelves and step on/crush it. And all the other ones next to it.

[albinosword]

i think every1 just treats him more seriously because hes brittish :)

[Jakeakdreday]

Can i find this on bbciplayer ? :D

[sparkingtonstanly]

i was just getting into that...damn. right over to amazon and look for the dvd

[CroMarduk]

[WolfySnackrib666]

Wow! 0 people accidently pushed the thumbs down :)

[Filtersloth]

David, you cocktease.

[zarbar2]

Just the way he puts his pieces together-- AMAZING! His words, music, information, and purpose are PERFECT!

[cutieglitzdiva]

1:19 is so pretty

[notanon666]

Still fucking creepy man, ill never love bugs.

[Animaboom]

@notanon666 Then bugs will never love you,because to them we are savage ugly monkeys,By the way,humans are more creepy because we kill each other and we destroy our own planet... Sorry I was very offended by your comment..And how? Don't ask me...If you reply something bad I'm just gonna ignore it...

[notanon666]

@Animaboom Sorry if i did, I completely understand how bugs are basically better in every way than us when it comes to nature, but if one crawls up my arm i still kill it, lol.

[Animaboom]

that was beautiful

[IAmTheCthulhu]

i love the snails eye. I found a bunch of snails the other day and saved them from eminent doom. I thought they were beautiful.

[sfurner]

Sir David Attenborough is officially awesome.

[skinnerburgers]

Good luck, spider dude. o.o

[livingonarainbow]

2:02-2:10 puts nature in a special place in my heart. its just so interesting that we are surrounded everyday by tiny insects that live and behave in their "little big world".

Imagine being an ant and looking up at 'our' world. Thats a different perspective.

kinda makes me wonder if our mountains are simply grains of rocks to floating in a larger reality, as ants me not even see a whole mountain as we see one so beyond their knowledge who knows

[prettypinkcupcakes55]

1:52 is so cool... *w*

[JCReiki]

*gasp* The face behind the voice! X3

[nanashimagalaxy]

beautiful

[randomjoe333333]

I really wish this shit was on tv rather then the crap that on these days

[nomorenigsplease]

Yeah agreed. I wish sports and soap opera shit would fuck off and just show scientific programs 24/7 so we can make the populace smarter.

[miaufun]

this gives me a second look of insects

[hkfrogs1]

how i mean how can you remember all this aswum

[Greig1424]

[TheStevie1977]

[Greig1424]

@tom123216 relax and take a breath I think you need a sense of humour

[TheRimDoctor]

@Greig1424 Not to mention he is 400 years old and is a personal friend of Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin.

[SirSwaggerDon]

[PenguinHairBalls]

[spamajen]

[imilkdude]

damn we are just parasites of earth

[scootscr15]

[FreethinkingJim]

@imilkdude human beings? yeah. they are. I don't even classify myself as one anymore. i prefer just primate. :P

[imilkdude]

lols

[132BigBoy]

shut up faggot

[ownage65]

Those are some badass lenses.

[PhuckYoui]

yeah, alright, i'll buy some live bug food from youtube...

[platinumsalamander]

attenborough has always been my hero. if he dies i'll be very sad.

[1992account]

nah hell never die dw

[quartZ48]

when he dies, he'll at least feed alot of insects.

[scootscr15]

you mean "when" right?

[equallyeasilyfuqyou]

same thing

[casperlamp]

theyre the same dick

[TheRamcos]

Really amazing...

[Stridum]

Really amazing...

[ultima3210]

thats what  I call eye popping

[AveEnd]

British tv owns, it just fucking owns.

[systematichoneyy]

This is absolutely amazing. Watching these videos.. it melts away all my worries, all my insignificant human anxieties. It makes me feel so in touch with nature and the world - what the world REALLY is. How amazing nature and animal life is, and how they all work in sync to help each other and the planet, whereas.. what do WE do? :/ it sounds strange, but these vids inspire me to be a better person.

[eaziepeazie]

they dont really try to help the planet, just how they survive helps polinaton etc :/

[rax7]

WOW from 1:56 to 2:09. its like watching 3d animation.

[rax7]

snail and slugs are pretty much the same. they will die if you put some sugar or salt on them.

[emanresuelbaman]

This is beautiful....

[VengefulRonin]

Hey babe *waves* You're pret-OH GOD STOP EATING ME I ONLY WANTED TO REPRODUCE WITH YOU

[MegaG15]

Ants are so smart...

'Farming' I mean... they maybe do that for the last million years... And we only the last thousend(s)...

[Jontman42]

These sort of documents and things are why I wan't to become a biologist... :)

[bass0322]

Good luck with that.:)

[fsmelo87]

@Jontman42 David Attenborough's documentaries were an inspiration when I was a child and today I'm a biologist, probably thanks to him.

[TINNEDPEACHES]

@Jontman42 these sorts of documentaries are why I am one :)

[CharlieXrotti]

@Jontman42 I decided to become a Animal Health Tech. So I can help care and treat them :) These documentries made such a big difference in my life

[BladesOfMunch]

@Jontman42 In my opinion, a biologist is a very lucky person. We get to see, experience and learn about the world in a VERY unique way; the sights and knowledge you amount up is glorious, and worthy of envy. Most importantly, you learn that the thing's RIGHT HERE on OUR home planet are the most amazing. To become a biologist is a worthy pursuit, you learn to love life and it's little curious things. To exist is a privilege we get once. To value it, all it takes it curiosity and appreciation.

[Craigobeggo]

having seen and owning this entire program, I have gained new found respect for the planet we live on and the inhabitants of it, whilst also being enlightened to the idea of humans being parasites to such a beautiful earth..

very saddening, and will continually get worse unless we can come to grips with how poorly we treat this 3rd rock from the star we call our sun

[maxhardcase]

I'm intrigued to know what is your definition of a parasite. I think it's an unfair characterization in light of the fact that we have the capability to do GOOD things for other species, and we often do.

We're not parasites, any more than any other creature that derives and utilizes energy from its surroundings.

[Craigobeggo]

We are parasitic in the fact that while we do have some symbiotic relationships with other species on this earth, we are the only species who has a profoundly negative effect on the earth itself. The insect world helps the ecosystem, it is in fact the ecosystem in the sense that the environment is sustained by the insects. We evolved, after things have been established for millions of years, and we suddenly and rapidly ravage the lands through deforestation and global oil looting...

[zee339]

you are a hippy douche. you a holes have been running around thinking the world will blow up tomorrow and yet it keeps on turning. go die, and let your manure feed the future.

[Scythemantis]

You're a conservative douche. You a holes have been running around thinking everything is fine while species go extinct, habitats shrink and people starve all around you. Go die, and let your rotting corpse fertilize fresh forest :)

[zee339]

i see what you did there, you tuned it around!

[Scythemantis]

Hilarity!!

[AveEnd]

Yes, technically even bees are more productive as a species to it's ecosystem than us humans.

[Craigobeggo]

.. whilst the whole time contributing very little back in the ways of good towards the earth. We are destroying this planet, and many other species on the planet without giving much back. That is essentially my definition of why we are a parasite to this planet.

[PAVAROSS]

very informative!

[fallenembers1214]

PS those soldier ants were standing on top of each other like cheerleaders to make a wall! I didn't catch that earlier

[fallenembers1214]

I can remember squishing earwigs when I was little. That clip just like, blew my mind. I don't know how to put it into words... like, I almost cried at how little I know about what's going on with the rest of the world.

[sad0happy]

So beautiful.. .. Amazing.. I don't ever want to leave this world, this planet. Never.

[cool70200]

hehe, farmer ant

[EVILGOKUGUANACO]

yes, they do milk them and the other insects give them free honey just for protection.

The ants protect them from others predators.

How amazing is that.

[0dour]

these videos are wonderful

[Vorlust]

I've never seen anything like that when a whole ant colony is moving. The Soldiers just stand guard on both sides with their antlers open and ready to go. Crazyness.

[ubuibiok]

*****

[gunz128]

those army ants were sick!!!

[StinkyKnobcheese]

I have been watching Sir David for 35 years and he just gets better and better.

[onionsteph]

those skyscrappers are pretty sick

[GUSandMONTY]

Just bought the PLANET EARTH series on BLU RAY. It has to be seen to be believed.

A truely awesome experience.

[panico22396]

omg i feel like of a bug is crawling up my leg!!!! lol

[eminart]

This probably the best nature documentary I've ever seen. It is visually stunning.  This youtube snippet can't do it justice.

[karadan100]

You gotta love attenborough. He's such a legend.

[overlordashura]

Yes, yes he is. His show was epic win.

[Gregorypaprda]

I definitely agree, He has been my hero since I saw his great documentary The Living Planet for a first time...

[g0o06]

amazing..love it

[wallyb77]

Where is the rest of the video?!?!

[bagasstube]

amazing

[childofdreamz]

i want to see the rest of it....(sad face)

[BBCWorldwide]

Unfortunately we can't upload the full series but you can check out the "Life in The Undergrowth" playlist for more of the best bits!

[fiendin281]

[straightJO]

[leeky1988]

@BBCWorldwide cant you put it on the tv shows section of youtube?

[KawaiiKemonomimi]

@childofdreamz Netflix has it.

[scaperunescape]

[dehbee]

[Kelvinchew07]
