Spider: *flees* Kung Fu Mantis: Why is the boss music still playing?

Mantis: Yeah, run away! That's what I thought." *turns around and realizes why the spider really ran away*

This should earn an academy award, it genuinely made me realize that some animals' lives can be turned into movies.

- Mom, are you pround of me? - NO! * chomping sounds *

"Shifu taught you well. But he didn't teach you everything."

I think the spider already saw the big mantis, thats why he ran away😅

I like how much personality the Mantis had, looking around, being self-aware, and doing some kung-fu poses. Sadly it died too soon. It could of became a wise person.

“With a bit of Luck, in 2 months time, it will be as Big and Beautiful as this Orchid Mantid” “Or Maybe Not 🤷” David Attenborough is a hilarious Narrator 😂

who else grew a strong bond with that mantis and was genuinely sad at the end.

aw man, and i thought that orchid mantis was its sensei :(

2:26 The spider legit looks up at the threat looming up ahead. Contemplating whether this mantis is worth the trouble or not. God, I love that. It's so subtle that when I first watched this I had no idea there might be something bigger to worry about.

The spider wasn't scared of his bluff, but because he saw that big one coming. After all he got amazing eyesight, he's seeing the future.

The end of the video made me realize that being a human and going to work everyday isn't so bad after all

NOOOO THAT END GOT ME SO BADDD

"Run coward! My mantis style is better than your crouching spider style." "Indeed ... but my even bigger mantis style is better than your mantis style." CRUNCH!!!

Wow, that twist ending got me crying. I was rooting for our lil bro 😭

Praying mantis trying to look bigger Spider: dude I saw you 30 seconds ago.......

Kung Fu Mantis: Master Shifu, I failed to kill Lucas the spider. Orchid Mantis: _"So you have chosen... Death."_

The quality of the film is impressive; such detail in the close-ups. The creature at the end seems to have evolved to appear like a flower in order to trick it's prey by hiding in plain sight. Fascinating piece of film. Thanks for uploading.

This video was better than most movies i've seen in years

Plot twist, the spider was trying to help him all along.

Plot twist: spider was trying to warn Kung fu mantis to not return home.

What nature programs will be worth watching if David Attenborough retires/passes away? He is legendary. He has an uncanny ability to immerse you wholly in whatever subject he speaks of.

2:23 that shot literally looks like a fight standoff this cameraman is a legend

Finally meets senpai, immediately killed

Bruh, living in that world looks like a horror movie. A freakin murderer everywhere you look

Forget David, the real actual talent here is whoever took this phenomenal footage. I would love to have that job.

I'm not sure which is more fascinating- the insects themselves or the fact that the photographers can capture such amazing and detailed footage.

He passed the intimidation check, but lord did he fail his perception check

Instead of Mantis, it’s now, Mant’was.

Kung Fu Mantis: You can't defeat me Jumping Spider: I know, but she can **AN ORCHID MANTIS APPEARS**

Pushing the limits of professionalism, I luv it ! Mr.Attenborough should've been my only teacher in all my school , I would've captivatingly learned every one of my classes

2:45 Spider; "Duuuude, what is *that* behind you" Mantis; "I'm not falling for that trick"

"Mantids will eat anything that moves, including other mantids." In the business, this is known as foreshadowing.

The way the mantis moves and turns its head is just so lifely. I know it sounds dumb but its still such a beautiful animal.

Just love these kind of nature videos. To see insect have an impression on there eyes/faces. 🤗

The spider literally seen the bigger mantis in the background and that's why he walked away! 😂🤣😂🤣🤣

Plot twist: The spider was actually trying to warn the Kung Fu mantis about the Orchid Mantis.

Man that whole thing was a roller coaster of emotions, and don't even get me started on the ending.

It's 100 times more dramatic when Attenborough describes it. Just love him

The reason spider left its because he saw that big ass white mantis LOL

That ending hit me harder than infinity war

The spider didn’t catch up to eat him... he was catching up to reach him about his cars extended warranty

that moment where the mantis "bluffs" plays out exactly like a cartoon scene lmao, it acts all tough and thinks it scared off the spider but in reality it was the bigger guy behind him

It's all fun and games until that Mantis comes back with a tiger panda, monkey, crane and a snake

Imagine surviving a spider to be eaten by ur own species.. That really sucks

Wow. Did not see that coming. Stunning photography. RIP little guy.

I don’t know about everyone else here, but I am mesmerized by these animal, fish, and aquatic videos. I end up watching these every night when I wake up. Lol

That ending was just so random I couldn't help but laugh

in the end, BBC films camera people film better than an actual Hollywood movie

the zoom out revealing the twist in the end is crazy!

KZfaq recommandation never fail. That one give me inspiration lol

i love how he didn't even try that kung fu shit on the bigger guy

When your level 4 and go against a level 150 boss

The camera work and editing are extraordinary! Well done, BBC Earth!

"A Mantis is born with exceptional eyesight, But the Spider's is even better." That's cool line right there.

That’s was the most depressing ending to a BBC clip I’ve seen

Hey, Mister, when I grow up I'm gonna be like you *crunch*

Love how the spider stared at the mantis after it showed its skill like 'bro the heck I'm watching' 😂

I love how animated the mantis looks when it moves

2:32 "but this mantis has a surprising line in self defense" Mantis: pulls out a gun

"Man, I want to be just as big as you when I gr-" "No"

these little ninja boogers have got to be one of the coolest insects ive ever laid eyes on, nature is so stunning at times, and the mantis doing tai chi was awesome

This video is a piece of art. The videography, the sound production and all, everything is great. ❤

Top 10 Anime betrayals

That ending though. Smaller Mantis: "You're going to eat me, aren't you?" Bigger Mantis: "Yeah, probs." Smaller Mantis: "Cool... So, like, gonna do that at any point in the near future?" Bigger Mantis: "Yeah, probs." Smaller Mantis: "Alright. Cool, cool..." (...) Smaller Mantis: "So how long are we go-" -Dead-

The spider was looking at the mantis like: "what is you doin?"

This is one of my favorite pieces of film, storytelling, and art ever. I'm not even kidding. I watch it often and send it to people all the time. It captures the spirit of this amazing being wonderfully, both why I adore them and why they are so deliciously scary--but I repeat myself. If you are here because you're considering keeping one as a pet, do it. It's been incredibly rewarding in so many ways, and if you're an eighties kid who still wants a friend that's an alien-faery-centaur-interdimensional oddity, THIS. You have arrived at your destination.

I’ve never rooted so hard for an insect

"Master, I've outrun the Jumping Spider!" "Good, good. Now onto the next lession. DODGE THIS!"

I can't believe in the end, i got my mind blown... TWICE. Well done BBC haha

That's a cool looking Mantis 😎

R.I.P Kung fu mantis we all thought you were the surviver

The end broke my heart.

This was some extraordinary video and unbelievable that these creatures exist and we get to see them. Thank you for the happy ending. 😊

This was one of the most interesting And coolest thing I ever seen. That mantis was beautiful. It was bull crap it had to end like that.

"Or maybe not..."

Hats off to the camera work, Simply incredible.

R.i.p mr mantis he was very adorable and had very cool colors

I am getting chills just from seeing that spider. Everytime it moves, I feel like it is on me right now

"mantis will eat anything that moves... Including other mantis" The foreshadowing is real

Kung fu mantis entered by accident a level 140 dungeon while trying to avoid a level 5 spider.

i am totally amazed by the cinemetography with the perspective of those insects and also with a person who is describing every single move of insects...

Mantis Lee: the art of fighting without fighting.

I can imagine, softly in the distance, you can hear the Jumping Spider saying: *YOU FOOL!*

10 top saddest anime deaths

Masterpiece

That Mantis was looking at his mentor but his mentor saw a treat

I mean imagine like surviving a bear attack than going home and someone just jumps on you and starts eating you in the street

This mans voice is a treasure, it makes the video more interesting.

That mantis was like try to keep up slow poke spider.

I thought that was like mother and daughter moment or something haha did not expect that. Made me spit out my beer lmao

At the end I was like "Awww" and then "NOOOOOO!"

it tried so hard, and got so far, but the end, it never even mattered

It's amazing that a cannibalistic species can avoid extinction

The unexpected end 😂😂😂

The ending is literally the biggest “holy crap I did not see that coming” ever

Imagine being the mantis like: "Mom, mom i scared the spider away" Mom: * hungry *

I know, I'm late to the party. As soon as I saw those 2 mantis facing off I laughed so hard 🤣 bro really went through all that just to get TK'd

Jumping Spider Praying Mantis, sounds like sequel for a Kungfu movies
