  • this is the fastest fish in the world: it can go from 0-70 mph in three seconds

  • How on EARTH did they get such good photography for this? Love Attenborough's documentaries :)

  • @AdamLovesYouu months of laying and waiting every day in location and when they finally get the shot (sometimes even months) they can finally leave

  • Comment removed

  • They're like the punk-rock velociraptors of the sea!

  • @mrgullyslime- not even close, the Falcon wind hands down.

  • THE FASTEST ANIMAL ON THE PLANET

  • @MrGullyslime you mean in water...

  • Look at them, showing off with their mohawks....

  • 02:34 What speed o.O!!!

  • Nobody gives a damn about the bait fish. :(

  • watching this video makes me wanna eat sum canned sardines

  • the scientific miracles <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

  • poor fish's oh well thats nature if they were not attacked then the bird and the sword fish would have been dead of hunger

  • the bird in the beggining looks really silly

  • 2:34 !!!

  • DEAR VIEWERS, FOR ASTONISHING FACTS ABOUT PLANETS, JUST TYPE IN THE SEARCHING BOX:

    Quran and Science

    SEVEN PARTS!  YOU MUST LIKE THEM!

  • @gulfland i just watched part 1 completely ridiculous!, if you really wan to know how the world is made look up fractals finding the hidden dimension these videos give scientific evidence, unlike the video you said to look up which just highlights some random parts of the quran and very loosely relates them to modern day science

  • @ainsleywainsley Indeed, the scientific niracles of the Book of God is ONLY for men of understanding, Not

    for men of stupidity!

  • Comment removed

  • Cheetah - 62mph, Sailfish - 68mph, Peregrine - 205 mph. The fastest predators in their classes - land, sea, and air.

  • Sounds like the Harry Potter theme song at :45

  • my god finally some HD for my eyes

  • sailfish look crazy my g shit look like something pre-historic

  • "A mistimed strike by one sailfish could fatally damage another. Maximus, that is why it must be you."

  • ONLY BY BBC.............. ONLY AT BBC.....

  • not very nice scenario but impressive how fast a sailfish can be

  • doesn't look much fun being a bait fish

  • the fastest fish on planet

  • @070erwin no that´s barracuda!!

  • @22sudaniel22 ok man ;)

  • @22sudaniel22 No it isn't! I'ts the Sailfish!

  • There he is

  • @NorthHitman622 I have actually read all about it. I just like to respond in the most sarcastic way possible, but since you are an expert on the matter, explain to me how it makes since

  • @ricodolan34 It's one of those things that either makes sense, and seems to be a logical progression of an organism, or something that doesn't because someone else needs to use an example that makes sense to you.

  • @leighsa49 yeah its a lot easier to believe that some random explosion brought about life as it is today..good call

  • @ricodolan34 You don't know what the Big Bang Theory is. You've probably just been told by your pastor a horribly biased idea which wasn't remotely correct (Talking about the misinterpreted Big Bang, not your religion to begin with..). It isn't even worth arguing with you about because someone who attempts to use shitty circular logic and closes their mind to any opposing views doesn't know what they are talking about to begin with.

  • @NorthHitman622 - I know what the Big Bang theory is according to Terry Pratchet. I'ts this giant male turtle floating through space carrying the Disc World on bis back (the world is flat after all). At the end of the universe is a giant female turtle and when he reaches her.....well.....the Big Bang will take place.

  • Looks like black marlin

  • frigate

  • No need to swear

  • The way nature is ....its simply AMAZING, the animals are so outrageous you couldnt even dream them up.

  • @agenthelios Makes you wonder how people believe in God doesnt it.

  • if you dont want commercials just press F5

  • me and my dad went out yesterday and drifted 5inch long sardines and caught a sailfish it was beatin the hell out the boat

  • sailfish not sel fish

  • is this real footage or computer stuff , it looks s totaly real but that would be some amazing camera work if it is

  • good quality very nice video, worth to watch :) !

  • it really would suck to be a baitfish. poor bastards

  • I remember watching this when it was new, and it was seriously one of the coolest things I'd ever seen. Sailfish are like the raptors of the sea.

    Also, how ironic is it that the advertisement they showed before the clip was for Tuna Helper?

  • sail fish are max 109kmh

  • very nice!

  • Very beautiful!!!

  • sailfish are effing cool

  • beautifull, very rare fish especiially on animal planet etc.

  • Stunning video!

    5/5 the the BBC

  • Sailfish are biologically capable of reaching 68 Mph in water. This makes it the fastest creature in the ocean by 8 Mph. Followed by a swordfish at 60 Mph and the Marlin at 50 Mph.

  • @nearkolob i thought the mako shark was the fastest

  • I'm glad you pointed that out, both Black Marlin and the Metropolitan Sailfish both have a top speed of at least 80 miles and hour. And thats towing a line through the water to measure the speed. So it may be higher.

  • I could totally see some Pink Floyd working with this clip. <3

  • they swim up to 100kmh or 60mph

  • A Sailfish can swim faster than a Cheetah can run.

  • Cheetah can run up to 75/mph m8

  • Amazing footage.

  • Sux to be a baitfish

  • I love Attenborough's voice.

  • @Kaevar yeah, when i was a child i already heard his voice, our tv is only black and white, long live Sir David!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • here at 2.35 we can see the sail fish moving litle fast ,,itz awesome ,,we cant even take notice of it ,, this is the fastest sea life traveling ,,110 kmph

  • Hats off to however filmed this, no way I could tread water with a camera while a pact of 10 feet long fish with a sword on it's nose went ape shit around me.

  • Puta que Pariu, eu teria de comprar uma panela maior pra colocar esse peixe, rsrs.

  • Wooooo third comment and this is art. Natural Art.

  • Sailfish look like creatures from another time..

  • 1st! this is awesome!
