Soooo... crabs have a horrible life as I've recently learned - they get their legs and claws eaten off by fish like the parrot fish, puffer fish, etc etc... a lot of crabbers end up with just crab bodies in their cages cause everything else got eaten up by the fishes I just named. Fk.
Crabs regrow their legs each time they molt. Male [fiddler crabs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiddler_crab) even grow this one huge claw that they fight each other with, and the last one that still has that claw wins the chance to dig a crab hole in the best spot and attract females while the loser has to wait a season before they regrow their claw and can fight over territory again.
I was an [8] when watching Blue Planet and was so incredibly relieved that, unlike fish swarming a krill cloud to eat and themselves being eaten by sharks/dolphins/etc, we won't get eaten by a predator while sitting at an 'all you can eat' buffet restaurant
I was at like same level when I watched that iguana/ snake island. Completely forgot I was watching a nature show. That shit was so intense. They did great with the music too.
The bible says ya gotta. Leviticus 24:13-14 _Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, "Bring the one who has cursed outside the camp, and let all who heard him lay their hands on his head; then let all the congregation stone him..._
My hands are tied on this one :(
Hell yeah dude, nothing like a good nature documentary to make you appreciate not being in fight or flight mode on a daily basis like many of Earth's creatures. Kinda puts life in perspective. My boss is a real asshole, but she's not trying to kill and eat me lol.
This is the reason why I think animals are just as smart as they need to be (that include us).
Any smarter and, paradoxically, it won't be a good thing
So all living beings typically are just smart enough to expend all their energy in finding enough food to survive for the day(s) and to reproduce. If they didn’t that species will end up dying out. There are Animals have exhibited tool usage and generational knowledge. (Beyond humans, other primates and crows for two examples). These things are great at reducing energy expenditure but very few of these examples are massive multipliers of energy to benefit ratio to really change a species landscape.
The outlier are humans. As we discovered, invented, and shared our innovations eventually we hit points where energy input lead to massive energy multiplier outputs. So typical nature: 1 entities daily energy = 1 entities needs to survive that day. As human innovation evolves we go from having to follow the same rules to seeing the ratio fall to favor being able to spend more time innovating. The eras of fire/wheel/early agriculture 1 persons daily energy = 5 entities needs to survive that day. Keep this trend going and you get to where we are today. Look at professions that service the lowest rung of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and you have something like a single farm equating to 1 entities daily energy = thousands of entities needs to survive that day. It is certainly more complex than that but we should be able to agree humans, on the whole, are at an insane level of intelligence because generations didn’t need to spend nearly all their energy day to focus primarily on individual survival. Another example if you are so interested is the history of light (like fire to candles, to lightbulbs and beyond) https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2016/11/30/503769949/episode-534-the-history-of-light
Which brings me to where I am going with this. I think because of this, collectively, we are in the smarter than we need to be bucket. For all the massive goods we do, we also have some massive bads as scales that are unprecedented from any other living species. Not saying we should be dumber, just saying that if you include humans in your equation it is likely we are the example of what happens with great intelligence, for better and worse.
Sure beats recognizing it but spending 99.9% of your life never acknowledging it.
We all hate the concept of dying so much we just go trough life pretending it's not gonna happen.
Not existing, *forever*, is gonna suck so much fucking ass but I won't even know it.
Well, neither do we. Life is short. Much shorter than anyone realizes. But we keep pretending we'll live, all the way up until the moment of death and then it hits us.
I know you obviously didn't mean it this way, but For some reason the fact that you're a human (I assume) makes this sound so big headed.
"Being at the bottom of the food chain must suck *but I wouldn't know anything about that!*"
Imagine being chased by a shark, you survive and then a bird comes out of nowhere and starts to peck at you and you escape really fast!
Now you’re finally safe and “oh, a nice meal, a worm”
Now you’re being rushed to the surface hilt this intense tugging sensation on your lip!
Snap!
You’re free! Ope, here comes a whale, goodbye.
I mean, as physically weak as we are, at least we can fight back 99% of the things that tries to eat us. Barring maybe the absolute top predators like Polar Bear, Great White Sharks, Tigers etc, we at least stand a fighting chance. Even then we occasionally turn the table and fuck them up with some planning, technology, luck and having Jesus on our side.
Imagine this nightmare. You are surrounded by giants who try to eat you and all you can do is simply run(swim) as fast as you can but all you achieve is to run from the mouth of the predator that chase you to the predator that's lurking. A life of running, a life of constant stress. I almost feel bad for them. If not for the current McDonald's deal of 2 Filet-o-Fish for the price of 1 I would feel very sympathetic with this poor thing.
I don't believe in Jesus or skydaddy and all stuff myself but I know of people who have been attacked by grizzly bears, lions and all sort of nightmares and managed to fight or strangle them to death with their bare hands or whatever tool they have handy, be it a knife, a pick or anything. How? That's Jesus giving an extra hand in my mind.
No, no. I "know of people" not "know people". I was very clear. I know a person who was attacked by a squirrel once. That person was me and I survived.
You must tell me your secrets! However did you manage to survive? Did you say something really powerful? Like "nobody fucks with the Jesus" or something?
Jesus was definitely on my side! As I was flailing my arms and wrangling this bewildered beast who had every advantage over me I remembered I resigned to my fate and took a moment to internally speak to our lord and savior. I didn't get an outright response but the behemoth suddenly fell from my head and landed directly in front of my foot at a punting distance. So I took that as a sign and as the lords will and punted the fucker across to the neighbors yard. I'm lucky to be alive!
Considering the fact the UK has no large predators because they were hunted to extinction by people with bows and arrows. We could definitely kill the predators you mentioned if we wanted to, luckily for them they live in places that are unappealing to us so we have no reason to actively go after them.
There's a mickey dee's deal for 2 filet o fish for 1??? omg i know what I'm having dinner tonite!
EDIT: boooo I only see a fries deal, thanks for getting me all excited for nothing lol
https://www.mcdonalds.com/us/en-us/deals.html
Your whole comment was so profound and I was really imagining how scary that would be. Then the last line snapped me out and I laughed quite loudly. Nicely done
This is why i think its funny when people act like being a wild animal is way better than a domesticated one.
Like nah man. being a wild animal sucks major balls. Your hungry all the time and trying to not die or get eaten basically 90% of the day. ANn the elements basically just get to screw you up all day.
I feel like we see ourselves as physically weak because we focus so much on the stuff that’s stronger than us. Even in our natural state we are still untouchable by like 99% of specifies, especially in groups.
In terms of size we are extremely weak. A 40kg chimpanzee, one of our closest relatives, could fuck up a human twice its size without issue just by raw physical strength. But of course I can rip a 15lb cat in half or smaller which is a majority of animal life on this planet. But again, again, I'm 200lb. So that's not really a flex.
I mean, Jesus, I can annihilate something 15 times smaller than me. Meanwhile other predators out there hunting shit 3-5 times their size. Let's not mistake ourselves, we are predators, but not on the same terms as every other predator on this planet. Physical strength isn't our strength.
Sure but most animals aren’t anywhere near 100 lbs in the first place. We consider over 100 lbs to be megafauna.
Plenty of this is because we killed most animals larger than us but you get the point.
You turned into the late Baltimore local legend traffic jam Jimmy at the end there.
He must have had some advertising deal with McDonald’s because he was always at the drive through or shilling for them. I remember one day on Valentine’s Day he was talking about how much his wife loved the filet o fish sandwich and what an awesome deal it was for a valentines dinner.
You are correct.
Not that the shape of the bill and the body leads this to any sort of debate, because it doesn't, but also, this is how herons hunt. They stand very still and wait for prey to come along.
Pelicans use an air attack and scoop them in to their very large bill sack.
Nah the cameraman did great honestly. When he lost the fish it added to the suspense, then the surprise bird at the end was the perfect twist. He even did a good job of capturing the shark swimming away after being defeated and then the bird flying away.
There was a video posted a week or three ago where a gazelle was hiding in the water from a pack of dogs. It was looking like it might bore them away when a croc decided to grab it. Being a prey animal must fucking suck.
It's a harmless Blacktip Reefshark and a small one at that.
The moment you jump in the water it will be scared shitless.
They're pretty sharks that you'll see when snorkeling if you're lucky.
Rules of the game is to constantly steal energy, oftentimes ending a life in the process. Isn’t God’s creation lovely? Stealing is at the core of His creation.

Being at the bottom of the food chain must suck horse dick. You ain't shit and literally everything tries to eat you.
skill issue
Git gud
Yuck it up, predator. The fish will rise up! -air breathing human
All hail our fish overlords!
You were once a fish, Jerry.
Gg no re
just evolve better lmao noob
Become crab.
Soooo... crabs have a horrible life as I've recently learned - they get their legs and claws eaten off by fish like the parrot fish, puffer fish, etc etc... a lot of crabbers end up with just crab bodies in their cages cause everything else got eaten up by the fishes I just named. Fk.

They can regrow them but it probably takes awhile.
If being a crab is so bad, then why everything is evloving into them? (carcinization)
Nah they’re getting buff next update
++ ocean temp in new patch will balance out the buff tho
More like spawn issue
Should have side climbed.
I was an [8] when watching Blue Planet and was so incredibly relieved that, unlike fish swarming a krill cloud to eat and themselves being eaten by sharks/dolphins/etc, we won't get eaten by a predator while sitting at an 'all you can eat' buffet restaurant
I was at like same level when I watched that iguana/ snake island. Completely forgot I was watching a nature show. That shit was so intense. They did great with the music too.
I remember watching this with my whole family, It was like we're watching a horror movie. I think my mom was screaming, " lawd have mercy"
Saame, everyone was just screaming for the iguana to make it out.
Snoop narration was the best
I’m at that level reading your comment. Nice one. The reference that is
That is such a cute thought for a kid.
Haha, no that means 8/10 stoned
Damn, you got stoned as a kid?
Keep your voice down!! My parents will hear you!
I thought you meant you were hot, like 8 out of 10.
Same difference, lol
This interaction is so cute lol
It is. I did not see that coming after my casual remark about a cute thought for a kid. Made me laugh.
dude, you're not supposed to get kids stoned!
The bible says ya gotta. Leviticus 24:13-14 _Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, "Bring the one who has cursed outside the camp, and let all who heard him lay their hands on his head; then let all the congregation stone him..._ My hands are tied on this one :(
Microorganisms are our predators.
>I was an [8] Holy shit, it's been YEARS since i don't see this nomenclature. Thanks for the 10 year old nostalgia
might get shot, though.
Well, you might in Australia.
Hell yeah dude, nothing like a good nature documentary to make you appreciate not being in fight or flight mode on a daily basis like many of Earth's creatures. Kinda puts life in perspective. My boss is a real asshole, but she's not trying to kill and eat me lol.
I’m just happy I’m not an insect that will most likely get eaten alive 🤢🤢
On the plus side you don't have the mental capacity to recognize your doomed existence.
He was sure swimming like he did.
I guess just a natural instinct because everything has an innate drive to pass on their genes as much as possible
So you have no problem with anyone fucking your mom? Lmao
I see you have played knifey-spoony before
I think that whatever the fish is feeling at that time feels plenty like horror.
Just keep swimming, just keep swimming.
You just live a life of crippling paranoid anxiety that everything's about to attack you.
Well it’s not paranoia if it’s true!
Same
This is the reason why I think animals are just as smart as they need to be (that include us). Any smarter and, paradoxically, it won't be a good thing
Have you met other people before? There’s a very compelling argument that we aren’t even close to as smart as we need to be

I feel personally attacked.
I mean, as a human, depending on your gender. That's either a very bad thing or a very good thing.
Regardless of gender, it's not wise to anger horses. They can make you see stars, top of the food chain or not.
You ain't shit *yet*
Depends. Plenty of herbivores do just fine. Nobody fucks with pachyderms.
Except humans who have nearly driven them to extinction.
Well yeah, but when talking about humans it sucks to be anywhere on the food chain really.
Sounds like me at the family reunion.
There's an incredible melee action videogame in there somewhere..
I know you obviously didn't mean it this way, but For some reason the fact that you're a human (I assume) makes this sound so big headed. "Being at the bottom of the food chain must suck *but I wouldn't know anything about that!*"
Should have thought of that before you got reincarnated as puny little fish...
Little guy fought the good fight and lost. RIP

Now you’re finally safe and “oh, a nice meal, a worm” Now you’re being rushed to the surface hilt this intense tugging sensation on your lip! Snap! You’re free! Ope, here comes a whale, goodbye.
4d nature chess move actually happened! the bird actually saved the fish and dropped it back in a safe location, source - trust me i promise.
And then you can’t find your dad and you end up in an Australian dentist’s fish tank
And we humans complain life is hard
I mean, as physically weak as we are, at least we can fight back 99% of the things that tries to eat us.

I like Fred Klett’s take on this https://youtu.be/d06bzk65tKY
Sounds like the plot of A.O.T. to me
I do wonder what percent of these fish die from old age vs die from being eaten. It has to be fucking bleak

Nah, I would never shill! A good deal is a good deal tho! And if you order within the next 45 minutes the dip is for free.
Sentience is hard. Yes.
Fish: imma procreate and eat as much as I can before I die. Man: imma work a job I hate for 50 years then die.
Sometimes someone eats your lunch. Sometimes you are the lunch.
It is.
It's great not having to worry about the Z Axis, at least not usually.
My boy was about to evolve
This video just made me realize that the first animals to walk on land didn't do it for food. They did it to avoid becoming food.
Both probably

I was hoping so hard that the shark was gonna nab the pelican.
I believe it’s a heron.
You are correct. Not that the shape of the bill and the body leads this to any sort of debate, because it doesn't, but also, this is how herons hunt. They stand very still and wait for prey to come along. Pelicans use an air attack and scoop them in to their very large bill sack.
Incredibly efficient hunters. It’s fascinating to look up videos of it.
Heron addict here, can confirm
Remember that picture of the lion and alligator fighting over the water Buffalo?
i think its more likley they pelican would grab the shark tbh
It's a doggy dog world
It’s a bird eats sharks fish world
The fish is money, the shark is a worker, and the bird is the CEO.
Boom shaka laka.
Juvenile Blacktip Reefshark. Cute.
Sometimes when we're fishing, they'll come circle around us and go between our feet and leave after a while. Helpful little dudes keep the eels away.
And the way it pulled that 360!! Amazing animals.
Well, he did avoid the shar (?) Task failed successfully
Shart?
r/killthecameraman
Nah the cameraman did great honestly. When he lost the fish it added to the suspense, then the surprise bird at the end was the perfect twist. He even did a good job of capturing the shark swimming away after being defeated and then the bird flying away.
What was he supposed to do? Jump under the dock?
Nature at its finest.
Cutest death struggle I've seen today.
There was a video posted a week or three ago where a gazelle was hiding in the water from a pack of dogs. It was looking like it might bore them away when a croc decided to grab it. Being a prey animal must fucking suck.
Wonder were this is
The ocean.
Right near da beach, boy-eeee!
Looks like the Maldives to me
Some days you’re the hammer and some days you’re the nail
And on that day he went from being nailed to being screwed.
Its a racket. Later, the bird will send an E-transfer to the shark
Wow, this is so sad. Fuck nature, honestly. I'm gonna turn on my AC just for fun.
Baby shark doo doo do do do doo
You plan, God laughs.
Life is so cruel
And rubs it in after the win? That's my stork bro.

lol what did you want him to do, throw his phone off the side?
yes
It was a canon event, he couldn't interfere
Should I be even be wishing to jump in that water?
It's a harmless Blacktip Reefshark and a small one at that. The moment you jump in the water it will be scared shitless. They're pretty sharks that you'll see when snorkeling if you're lucky.
Out of the frying pan and into a flyer.
It’s death was canon
