  • The sound fx on this video is way over the top, makes every action of these animals sound gross with all that added slithering, slurping, crunching,and cracking etc
  • @bdpchamp
    I don’t understand how people are in such a rush to find aliens when there’s already so many undiscovered and insane animals and creatures living on this earth that are so vastly different from ourselves
  • @DrEvil-os9dc
    The sound effects are just killing me! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
  • @Emyrryl
    The sound of the assassin bug just throwing the corpse of the other bug away made me laugh way harder than it should have.
  • @AlmostEthical
    He calls the assassin bug a "silent assassin" after it had been tromping around in tap dance shoes and slurped like it was finishing a thickshake :)
  • @sirguuri2095
    The assassin bug looks like the most british thing that ever existed
  • @neneizzy9277
    I am officially traumatized. I should've stopped at the Hag fish, but nooo, not I. That water walking, diving breathing underwater spider carrying/dragging a fish? Really? Well couldn't get any scarier than that now could it. Yes, yes it did. Amazing creations. Thank you very much but I'll stick to the regular creepy crawlies as I try to forget what I couldn't stop watching. Goodnight, sleep tight, and don't go where any of that isπŸ‘€

    I had assassin bugs growing on my habanero plant. They were awesome!! I didn't have to worry about using any pesticides or anything against gnats, ants or anything else. They kept the plant pristine and chilled around it for refuge. They were awesome. I wish I could breed them and I would use them all over my garden.
  • You just have to respect Nature's Most Creepy Creatures', because without them, our world would be so darn boring, & plus, no matter how creepy they are, these Creepy Creatures play an Important Role in All of Our Ecosystems, here on Planet Earth.

    Very wonderful photography underwater as well on ground unleashing secrets of creatures which are almost unknown to civilised world, thanks to this channel.
  • This documentary is made to resemble a horror flick...love it, even though in real live you are NOT aware of ANY noise from the creatures πŸ€«πŸ˜‚πŸ€«πŸ€“
  • @ericjourdain892
    I fail to see how the translucent frog is terrifying, it's quite beautiful!
  • @loganb.768
    People are always so interested in alien species but don't even realize how alien like the animal kingdom is. Just imagine if these bugs were closer to our size and we would be on their menu. Thats scary to think about...
  • @davesolomon5397
    I can't believe the bats saliva contains a local anesthetic as well as some type of blood thinner wow!!!! I can't even fathom this.. I can't help but truly believe in a god only a higher being could have created such incredible animal beings ... So incredible it sheers away the the hair softly and can sense where the blood runs most rich.. I have no words this is incredible maraculous!
  • @MrDBarch
    how a soft, gelatinous eel, can swallow a whole crab without cutting up its own throat, or putting holes in it's stomach is beyond me
  • @MissHeird
    That poor gecko screaming out! Great video but a bit heart wrenching.
  • @owenfuchser1540
    My mom would be proud if she knew I was on my phone at 1am on a Wednesday night watching creatures eat each other
  • @thirteen8582
    You ask if I can make it through the entire video in one sitting? Pff!!! This is my jam lol. Of course I can.
  • Seeing the small movements in the sand when the Bobbit worm captures prey feels like watching a horror movie
  • @MultiMolly21
    The assassin bug reminds me that aquatic animals as well as spiders have this ability to puncture and dissolve; and I've often wondered if the technique and possibly similar ingredients might be used to attack and deflate tumors without the more brutal and destructive process of opening up the patient; especially when it comes to brain tumors. So if you're into medical research and haven't done your doctorate; there you go!
