"He might be a poor nest builder, but he is redeeming himself now." I feel a connection. 😆

[iDropPhats]

That bird is the ultimate trickster! The look on the meerkats’ faces when they realized they got clowned was priceless 😂

[sogaria]

The footage of the war between the ants was incredible, so much detail even tho the whole scenery is small

[internetreferee]

Can you imagine, like, hearing your doorbell and answering it but this bird flies into your house and steals some Cheerios instead of there being someone at the door. Then like 10 minutes later you hear your son calling for you from outside so you open the door and the same bird flies in and takes the piece of bread you were in the middle of making a sandwich with. This is the life of the meerkats.

The ant slaughter was one of the darkest things I’ve seen in nature lol

[uglyskies]

Props to the cameraman shrinking and going into the cave to record

[johnriddle]

The footage of the ants is one of the most impressive things I’ve ever seen. How were they able to film it so perfectly? They captured every little detail. Absolutely astonishing

[melissadull]

With every show Sir Attenborough narrates I'm transformed to an attentive grandchild eagerly listening to his wildlife adventures. I pray he outlives us all!🥰

[anthraxff]

Wildebeest: Yo tony just got devoured

Wildebeest:i’m still thirsty lets go back

Wildebeest:aight

Wildebeest:*drink water again*

Wildebeest: oh shit they took my man Roberto

Wildebeest: lets go back for more

Wildebeest:aight


Legend says they never stopped

[anarous]

Am i the only one who wonders how do they manage to place the cameras in ant colonies and such

[danielleking]

lmao the wolves are so close to how teenagers might be, it's *crazy*

[ILikeAmazingThings]

That clip of the snow leopard huntig it's pray, wow. So crazy how agile both of them move in this extremely rough terrain.

[levimcglinchey]

I really didn't expect spy-hippo to be a full body 😂 Dedication

[dusty]

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the quality of the cinematography at display here? I can't even imagine how some of the scenes were shot on camera. Hats off to the camera crews!

[songsofinspiration]

The drongo bird and the meerkats' relationship is absolutely dramatic

[thedreamdosage]

The scene with the ants really got to me. I feel sad now. That was so intense. 😢

[bismarck.]

Damm the ant war was so intense, it feels like i am watching lord of the ring ant version.

[easyclapss]

Who else is watching this in their room on their bed

[mattallen]

Imagine being the one wildabest taken by a crocodile and the rest of the herd is like “omg it got Jerry! Eh we’re good without Jerry, right guys?”

[shicrapt]

Never fails to amaze me how mountain goats have no need for tails for balance. It's all about the grip of their hooves. They can run along almost vertical walls using nothing but grip. Unbelievable.
