About World's Deadliest:
World’s Deadliest Predators is a new series that looks at most riveting moments of animal predation, breaking down the struggle for survival and supremacy into five action-packed episodes. Top Hunters focuses on the most feared animals in their class: animals at the top of their food chain; the hunters who are prey to no other animal. Killer Packs illustrates when predators multiply their advantage over prey by banding with others of their species to hunt. Lethal Weapons shows that the physical attributes and built-in concealed weapons have the ability to make an animal a top predator. Our Superpowers episode focuses on the animals that see, hear, and smell better than any others…and that relative to their size on are the fastest and strongest creatures on the planet. And whether it is over food, territory or sex, animals go to war within their species and against other species…Battles dissects these conflicts, from the strategy to the play-by-play. These five episodes bring together dozens of species, which are extraordinary, savage, and the World’s Deadliest Predators.

"The cuttlefish brain is larger than it's entire body, including it's brain.  Which may not make sense but it does to the cuttlefish, because it has a very large brain." -Zefrank1

These videos it's always the crabs that get wrecked. Fuckin' crabs invest in some pepper spray or something.

[Goldenkitten]

They're masters of camoflage so they can sneak up to their prey? What was this crab thinking, "Hey, there's a giant piece of coral floating towards me in an area where there's no coral around, that's not suspicious!"?
