ONE HOUR of Amazing Animal Moments | BBC Earth

As they mature, the young males begin to explore the edges of the pack's territory, with Red venturing out alone and London thrust right into the middle of the hyena clan. He's fine, he's trapped by more than 20 of them. The pack tries to wear him down. This amount of hyenas could kill. It's impossible for him to fight them all at once he can't keep them at bay much longer he's rising quickly this ally tattoo he's heard the commotion now the odds have changed even for 20 hyenas a pair of male lions is too much to face red it is lucky that mantises eat anything that moves including other mantises it is time to leave this little insect now open to attack from predators lurking in the undergrowth whether an individual mantis survives or not is partly a matter of luck if she is spotted by a predator, if she turns right or left so far her luck has held but this hungry jumping spider is still chasing her a mantis is born with exceptional eyesight but spiders are even better though this young mantis cannot yet fly its long four legs evolve to catch prey it reaches, so it seems there is no escape, but this mantis has an

s is a major achievement for a new improved insect, but there is still a long way to go, with a little luck, within two months it will be As big and beautiful as this orchid man made it, or maybe not, after all, mantises are cannibals, hermit crabs use abandoned seashells as mobiles.

Houses As a crab grows, its shell becomes increasingly tighter, so eventually a crab needs to move to a larger one. Suitable empty shelves are few and far between and this one is too spacious for this crab, but instead of continuing its search this small. The crab sits down to weigh other crabs who are also looking to upgrade to a bigger house. They soon gather whenever a shell washes ashore. Unfortunately, the new shell is also too big for them even though the gathering crabs start sizing each other up and then do something really nasty. extraordinary they organize themselves in an orderly queue the largest at the front the smallest at the back they are lining up with the aim of exchanging properties but none of the crabs can move because the chain is not yet complete everyone is waiting for the crab of the right size to come and This is the last one to arrive pushes to the front of the queue at the beginning the chain unravels as it reforms the small crab finally makes its move and takes its place at the end of the line after close inspection the large crab Move on this sets off a chain reaction, each crab hurriedly moves towards the shell left by the crab ahead of it in line, just as the little crab tries to move to its new home, a newcomer muscled in to run out. one shell is a death sentence, a naked crab will cook quickly under the intense tropical sun, but after all the trading there is still one shell left, unfortunately it is no bigger than the original shell of this little crab and, even worse, it has a hole, but it's even bad.

Shell is better than being homeless this time of year polar bears on average are successful only once in 20 hunts if the hunter is skinny like this it may not be often enough all you can do is keep going trying to prevent her smell from betraying her. a wide sweep to go downwind of the approaching seal now he is right behind the seal incredibly trapped the seal underwater is only small but still his blubber alone will contain one hundred thousand calories enough to sustain this bear for a week and In that time you might even catch another one, but this can't go on forever as summer continues, temperatures rise.

Each hunt requires more energy, depleting the bears of their kangaroo reserves. The biggest challenges come from your own society. For a male, there is really only one key lesson. To learn in your life to get to the top you must become a fighter the battles are so brutal that men need years of training to prepare the effort is worth it because a champion fighter gains privileged access to women this meadow is a field of training for The training of aspiring boxers begins as soon as the young man leaves the bag. His mother is a useful opponent for a young man learning the basics, but she soon leaves in search of more training partners.

The other adults are not as tolerant of this light weight. Only the male rules the prairie He stands eight feet tall His muscles hardened by years of training Today a challenger has appeared for his title Full-fledged fights are so dangerous that they are not taken lightly But when two males face each other It's time to punt in the arena, anything goes in these power struggles, gouging out your eyes is totally within the rules, so kicking below the belt, the dominant male skill is already saying it, the stakes are high, they run the risk of broken bones and internal injuries, suddenly, it's all over, the champion has defeated the challenger. at least for now the drunk is the biggest trickster in the kalahari and these are his victims a family of desert specialist meerkats after warming up in the morning sun the meerkats begin their search for breakfast the drongo can now begin his tricks but first he must Gaining the trust of his victims, he spots an eagle on the hunt and sounds a warning that sends the grateful meerkats running to safety.

The danger is over and now he has confidence in him, he sounds another warning, but this time it is a false alarm. Thank you very much, the meerkats fell in love. This all seems too easy, he tries the same trick again, but the setbacks are not stupid, he will only fall into the trap once the juicy scorpion is not for him and suddenly the sound of a phrase is heard warning that no meerkat can ignore the sensors. He never lies, but the center sees no danger. Guess who, of course, the drone is. He has learned to imitate the meerkat's own warning call and can now enjoy the treat of it.

A gang of meerkats fooled by a bird with eyes and ears that were closed for the first two weeks. Aspects of your life are now opening up and with this comes a whole new world of sensory stimulation. She uses her vision to move, but does she see the world the same way we do? Dogs are color blind but that doesn't mean everything is black and white, she sees colors but mainly blues and yellows, it is because she only has two types of color receptors compared to humans who have three and it is also the reason why Your dog will often ignore an orange toy on green grass, since those colors look the same.

It's better to give them something blue but it's when things move that their vision goes into their own dog eyes. They process what they see faster than us. It's almost like they see in slow motion. That's why they're always in the right place to catch the frisbee. A dog's hearing is also superhuman. They can hear things four times farther and twice as loud as we can. This is why we can't hear dog whistles, but it also means they can hear lights humming and even pulsing. sound of a quartz crystal on a digital watch but there is one sense that will use your sense of smell more than any other a dog's brain is a tenth the size of ours but the part that controls smell is 40 times larger even The river normally The lifeline for the

animal

s has almost disappeared, but the mud soup left behind could be hiding a free lunch if only the leopards could figure out what it is and how to get it.

Are these strange apparitions something to fear or a harmless and much-needed source of food? the mother had probably never seen a live catfish before, she would eventually lose her courage, perhaps a son will be more daring, she has seen some of his fish when they stop moving, although she seems not to know where they have gone, it is the elephant that finally reveals them , you could almost see like a light bulb went on and literally right after the elephant came out he walked right in, so it was like playing with soap in the shower, he just fumbled around, he didn't know what to do, there's mud. being splattered on her body and his face, she finally bit him, allowing her to grab him.

I just remember that expression when he stood up, I was so proud of his achievement that he was quite excited, you can see how the younger wolves are excited. with the arrival of his father Storm, these younger wolves are his cubs from previous years, in fact, they still lick his mouth to be fed like they did when they were little, it is very strange to see this, I feel very lucky, but then My eye sees a black bear approaching the den. I see it before the wolves don't realize the threat ahead, while the black bear would have a hard time confronting an adult, he could be after the cubs every time the bear tries to do so. go to the trees where the cubs are the storm bites him in the rear forcing the bear to turn around working together a combination of pushing him from behind and carrying him into the storm in his offspring get the bear out of the den I think that bear He's as happy as wolves to be out of there.

The character of the forest changes as you descend, becoming increasingly darker and wetter, favoring different types of

animal

s and plants. Less than two percent of sunlight reaches the ground, but even here there is extraordinary variety. On the large island of New Guinea there are 42 different species of birds of paradise, each one stranger than the last. This forest is so rich that nutritious food can be gathered very quickly, leaving the male six-feathered bird of paradise time to concentrate on others. matters like tidying up your display area, everything must be and spam, everything is ready, very impressive, but no one is looking at the magnificent bird of paradise calls to attract a female and you have better luck, but what do you have to do to really impress her ?

She leaves. When considering her verdict, it's hard not to feel deflated when even your best isn't good enough. Escape seems impossible, but these particular fish have a unique ability: they are flying fish with extra thrust from their tails. The flying fish fly through the air once again with a good wind they can glide hundreds of meters but this is just what the frigatebirds have been waiting for when the frigatebirds join the hunt the flying fish are literally caught between the devil and the sea Deep blue, if the flying fish rise too high, they become easy prey for the frigate birds.

If they dive to evade attacks from above, they could fall into the mouths of the dorado. The spinosaurus is also forced to compete directly with any large predator living in the same environment and here that can only mean that a carcaradontosaurus animal competes for carcasses. are common, but the results of such fights are far from guaranteed. The risk of injury to large animals is acute. Modern Komodo dragons are often killed in fights over carcasses more than three meters long. The Spinosaurus has size and power on its side, but the Carcaradontosaurus has the deadliest bite. Once Spinosaurus triumphed, but the balance of power between these two deadly killers is precarious.

In 2008, the vertebrae of a Spinosaurus were recovered. The high neural spine of the bone was broken. It appeared to have been bitten in half. It has been suggested that the bite was inflicted by carcaladontosaurus spinosaurus was the last and largest of the fish-eating dinosaurs, but ultimately these specialists were doomed something beyond their control caused their downfall 94 million years ago climate changed global sea level began to increase the swamps and rivers that spinosaurus prospered gradually were lost with its loss the specialty of the spinosaurus became a vulnerability and the largest predator ever known to walk the

disappeared the perfect throw and a controlled fall this is the best possible descent its parents are there to find it a little dazed perhaps but all in one piece at least one gosling has not survived and this chick seems to be unwell it finally responds to its mother's calls the resistance of a barnacle chick is extraordinary but there are still chicks missing somewhere in the rubble the parents cannot risk looking for it because they need to get their two survivors away quickly before the predators arrive a third has managed to survive but needs to reach them reunited three out of five chicks have managed to survive without such dramatic start in life it is unlikely any of them would have made it this far northern australia has the highest tides inThe tropics expose vast areas of coastline and here lives a truly extraordinary species of octopus.

Octopuses are marine animals that live and breathe underwater at low tidal temperatures. Most octopuses will be trapped in their rocky pools, but this is not a common octopus, it is the only one specially adapted to walking on land, it crawls using the hundreds of small suction cups that line its arms, hunts for crabs and walks from pond to pond. To a rather surprised fish, this is empty, so the octopus moves over a pool of rocks. It may seem like a safe haven, but the octopus' suction cups allow it to move as stealthily in the water as it does out of it - no place is safe when this octopus is near the gun. she is ready to be reunited she spent the whole morning calling to ask for a job but so far there is no response when she does not appear for three days we all join the search following her trail following her footprints we are all worried and then we find her dead not killed by hunters poachers but poisoned by a villager who was protecting his cattle but vagani doesn't know her companion is dead she is still looking for him she can smell him but he is gone she cries for three days after his death we are both heartbroken the father leads a team the mother intercept a panicking moose everyone shares the loot but not everything is as collaborative as it seems this herd strategy works well for the alpha pair but not so well for last year's offspring the young ones could have their own cubs if it weren't for the alpha pair that would mean more mouths to feed and less for their litter, so the alpha pair will actively discourage the last year's offspring from mating, but one of their daughters has other ideas.

Behind the pack hides a lone male wolf. He doesn't have his own territory, but he follows the family, scavenging for scraps and looking for opportunities. He saw one of the young daughters with whom he might be the intruder. One possibility, as long as he doesn't get caught, the herd leader could kill him while the herd is distracted by a bison. The temptation for the young woman is too great and she sneaks away to join the mysterious stranger. It's risky, but it might be her only chance. getting close to a potential mate so when wolves mate they come together without being able to separate for half an

hour

to ensure fertilization not so good if you're about to be caught by your father the adventure was always meant to be short uh after a painful separation his new partner is chased away with his tail between his legs a mud captain a fish that spends most of his life outside the sea can walk on land and breathe air his life is very different from that of most fish a fish out of water perhaps, but they thrive here in Japan, so what made this turmoil worth it?

The answer lies in the mud as the tide recedes, exposing the mudflats, sunlight hits the rich silt and small plants and animals flourish there, all food for a mudskipper, but life on land. It is not without problems, it is hard work to find a mate jumping high above the mud will make you notice with your eyes on top of their heads the mud jumpers keep an eye on both friends and enemies and the males fight against those who meddle in its territory. They must do it. Also be careful not to dry in the sun. Rolling in the mud keeps your skin cool and moist.

For this smaller species, a better option is to retreat underground, so it digs a tunnel in the mud itself. Their pile of waste is an indication of the magnitude of their excavations with the tide flooding the tunnel twice a day maintenance is a real burden there will be no easy food on this island walruses are the largest seals in the world weighing over a ton and they are armed with fangs a meter long, exhausted by while swimming the bear must regain strength the next day a sea fog envelops the island the wallaces feel that they are in danger using the fog to cover themselves the bear approaches the herd the adults close rows around her babies presenting a wall of fat and skin test the banner but it holds firm it seems that the world's largest land carnivore has met its match there must be a in the armor somewhere not here this female walrus is protecting her cub if he can tear it from the bear's claws and teeth he may not penetrate its thick hide as the pack retreats to the water the bear must move quickly having missed with one he heads straight for another the possibility of his first meal in months is becoming escaping seems increasingly desperate it's now or never you should avoid stabbing fangs if it's the wind, the flailing walrus is immensely powerful and drags the bear away from the shallows towards the safety of the herd, it slips out of your hands.
