The level of appreciation that lion shows his friend (brother?) at the end is absolutely amazing!

100 snakes trying to kill you
- Iguana: Parkour time

That Lion moment was so awesome and badass

[mavenfrankeus]

The iguana dodging the snakes is insane.

[TrulySelfish]

When the lion was outnumbered and his homie pulled up, that shit teared me up 😭

[crewmatewillthrowthesehand]

penguin: Im tired bro

Seal: Understandable, have a nice day

[TheCamster]

I can’t believe no one is talking about the monkeys showing deep group empathy! It’s a great reminder for both the intelligence of animals and that, despite our desire to see ourselves as entirely separate from animals, our grasp of emotion is a very natural thing that shouldn’t be forgotten amongst the humdrum of our modern day society.

The hyenas just taking a massive bite like that and getting right back up and back to the hunt is terrifying. The comradery between the two males and showing gratitude for saving his life was heartwarming <3

1:52 the penguin was like:
“Hey kids this guy bothering ya?”

[umadbra]

Penguin: bro, really?
Seal: guess not, peace

[tabatsoislim]

The penguins made me cry, how well they stand up for each other even if they don't look the same.. so beautiful

[buggybug]

That bird being able to make those sounds is entirely INCREDIBLE! nature is so freaking awesome!!

[alwestcott]

The iguana running from snakes is something out of an action thriller movie.

[sheik]

The effort that goes into the filming, capturing every angle is mind bogling. Amazed at how they do they actually do it.

[mobiz]

The lion was so appreciative of his boy saving his life, what an amazing thing to witness. The first penguin story too, absolutely amazing, those chicks forming a defensive formation, with the one brave one standing tall, and then an entirely different species of penguin coming to bail them out and escort them safely to the water like a total boss. Good stuff!

I’ve watched this bird make this chainsaw noise like 8 times and I just can’t wrap my head around it. It’s so spot on. The camera with the mechanical shutter was awesome too.

[orangeyewglad]

It's adorable how the one lion gives the other lion a gratitude nuzzle for saving his life.

[trent]

Everyone: we must survive and hunt in the harshest conditions
Hamster: my head is stuck :(

[joiskyhigh]

17:38 I don't think I'll ever forget that clip of a mantis looking over its shoulder. I think it's genuinely changed how I think about insects.

That Adelie penguin landed on shore, saved a small village, and then went back to greet the homies. Epic.
