For anybody interested, they just recently (2022) discovered a spiders spun web actually has musical notes to them, and, it's quite possible that the spiders actually hear or feel the tones and notes being played as they walk, spin, and catch prey.

Never was a monster more beautiful nor a nightmare more elegant than the humble spider.

Loved when the little black jumping spider dropped its leaf and looked down like " awwww man look what you made me do"!!!.......... HANDS UP LIKE IN NEMO , HEY HEY HEY.......

18:55 “A walking football scarf tied to a pair of legs” One of the best descriptions for anything I’ve ever heard

It was over all too soon. This was a gem of a documentary!

I love documentaries like this, long videos that I can chill to while I am brainstorming artwork

A documentary nearly 20years old and still engaging! Very cool. ;-)

Lost my comment!😮. Hiya 🌞, just wanted to say thankyou for such marvellous footage in this production!The time and patience/effort taken can only be imagined! ❤it!Please keep it coming,and kudos to all involved! Best wishes, J.I.M.K Mrs. Brisbane, Australia 🇦🇺 ♥ 😊

What a great documentary. One of the best i have seen and its twenty years old

Great video while I drink my whiskey and pop a pill.. now I know spiders are really cool animals. Cheers!!!

Ants like "Jesus Christ lady I'm leaving"

If a wasp was the size of a hawk it would be the most dangerous predator on earth

Alone in an open field, at night, headphones on, this music playing and the sky full of stars :)

The jumping spider is the most adorable creature on 8 legs. 🕷️🕸️ Those 2 huge 👀 make it so personable to look at. People keep them as pets.

I Enjoyed this Video very much. Starting to just now learn about Spiders & Tarantulas. Thank you so much for Sharing.

During a time of fasting spiders also digest their webs, so the protein is recycled and does not go to waste.

11:23 Spiders do NOT suck anything up through their fangs.

Very cool program, spiders are so awesome, such amazing diversity and specialization. 🕷💜

I first saw 3/13 which was about lions, thinking the whole series was about lions. I soon found out No. 1 was about Elephants and I didn't think I was going to watch 2/13 spiders but took the plunge and was not disappointed. I enjoyed this video which is saying something considering I am not fond of spiders. These video's are most informative and the narration is class, the story well told with an interesting voice. On now to 3/13 Lions which I hope will not disappoint. A lot of fact checking has gone into these videos thank you very much for your work and sharing.

at 33:44 when they start using their hands to communicate, I fell in love with them!

This is the best close-up look at spiders I have ever seen. Fascinating!

All your vids on elephants are amazing.....lions....beetles......spiders....lovely. We must focus on the positive.... :) thank you

Loved it, thank you very much, beautifully filmed, very instructive, captivating +++

this is amazing! Nature will survive even us.

For me a documentary needs a good narrator.Peter Terry hats off to you.You kept my interest all through the whole series.I would happily recommend this or any of the other docs in this series......Peace all and stay safe.

Fascinating!!!! Grateful for this beautiful video!!!😍👌💯🕷🕸

I feel sorry for the frog, such a slow and painful death being eaten by a spider. Thanks for posting...it was interesting. :)

Brilliant, Thank you for the video :)

Outstanding piece!! I'm ' spider ' fan .An learned some additional information as well . WAY KOOL...

There are a few comments on how good the photography is. GOOD!?!?! This is outstanding! This is some of the best work I've seen outside of the filming of Peacock Spiders in Australia. Too bad there is not a list of photographers and their techniques.

I can't believe you didn't mention the underwater living spiders lol

This reminds me of something I would watch in elementary school I love it

This was a WOW!!! Thank you

I have a black widow tattooed over my heart soooooooooooo, that's why I'm here, but I subscribed. I love this show.

Thank god they're not the size of dogs

great documentary .

TARANTULA SPIDER 🕷 🕸 🕷 AFRICA BULLFROG 🌍 Fighting ~~~

I love the birds sounds

[ our favorite ]

They absolutely do not make documentaries like this at all anymore.

Very nice work, inspiring.

Omg.. When i was watching the part showing the web spiders wrapping and sucking tge fluids outta insects, I just honestly thought in vivid detail about how effing scary it would be if there were spiders bigger than us and we were pray.. Imagine being wrapped in silk, scared to death fighting and clawing ur hardest to get out b4 the spider injects u with tissue dissolving venum.. I am going to have nightmares, why am i like this 😂🤦

So many little bits of misinformation but It was entertaining

I remember that there was a two partite documentation made in the 1970s which is now nearly lost, made by Horst Stern. It was called 'Leben am seidenen Faden - Bemerkungen über die Spinne' (Life on a Strand - Remarks on the Spider), which turned spiders into something fascinating. There they also showed the behavious of Bola Spiders (they catch their prey with a single thread with a glue drop on its end). Unfortunately, this documentation has been damaged by time, as in those times, the only means to store this amount of data, was on analog magnetic tapes. A person managed to tape it, and transfer it into modern data, and uploaded it on KZfaq - the channel is called Laibachs Doku-Kanal. The pictures are blurred, but it is the best you can get by now. There is even more to spiders, like the one that is living under water in a bubble, and fills the content of the bubble with fresh air, by going up, collecting the atmosphere in their furry hairs (making use of the surface tension of water as opposed to air), then let it flow into the bubble. Some big spiders hunt like baboon spider, but they hide themselves beneath a woven lid, covered in detritus; and if any prey comes along, they open the lid, jump on the prey, pull it in, and close the lid, all in the blink of an eye. And so on...

18:30 all that pollen lost 😂😂

Nie widziałem tego filmu od 20 lat, a to dzięki niemu interesuję się pająkami. Niezmiernie dziękuję za opublikowanie tego filmu!

6.2.2022.Very good and best.

Such a good video. How could they possibly get those shots?

Thanks, that was interesting.

It's best not to mess with baby spiders

Overly nice!

Wonderful

The best science life ❤️👍👋

I think there was like 12 commercials over the entire video. Google must really need money ..

I love the spiders.

Spiders: we r tough Me with a flamethrower: tough yeah?! VHWOOOM! WHOOOOOSSH!.... Barbacued spiders. Heh not so tough now r u?!

4:05 IT LOOKS SO HAPPY

Killing me softly with his song telling my life with his words killing softly with his words LOL how many of you are old enough to remember that one?

Jumping spiders are amazing. They behave so differently that they dont share anything but biology w other spiders. They are like tiny little ppl.

spiders in general its so incredible the venom from a poisonous spider or snake or whatever can be strong enough to kill people, AND its ONLY aitty bitty amount less than a drop and too small to see with naked eyes but so powerful its tiny fraction of 'cells' compared to huge number of 'cells' in the body. wow

There's a documentary in my Ads.

This episode is my favorite. What network is this show originally on? Anybody know?

Imagine making robots, that work like insects and are built like them, with fluid muscle motion and an exoskeleton ....

Spiders don't drink through their hollow fangs, they inject venom through their hollow fangs. They eat the liquified food through their actual mouth, located behind the fangs.

I catch moths and feed them to my spiders hanging out by my front porch light.

Flower crab spider was winking at me.

Very good - the entire series of „the whole story“ documentaries is outstanding. Inter alia it’s quite refreshing that they are not complaining about climate change every 5 minutes.

this is great! im so high 🤪

Could someone upload ep 1

I love spiders XD

Fabulous documentary that show cased the spiders talents and diversity, loved it except the parts with dates... please. How could anyone watch this and not be amazed and give the Glory to GOD ?

That frog just looked stupid didn't it? @10:49

Their eyes are like droplets of water

Fascinating. Unfortunately not a single mention of sea spiders, which invalidates the title.

I have noticed, red,green,blue,black what kind are they.

When some creature that gets eaten alive by spiders, that "paralyze" and inject digestive agents, , I wonder how weird, sick and painful that is, or whatever.......to the thing getting eaten ? Small mammals get eaten that way too. That's the stuff of nightmares.

12:26 what the spider name?

2:21 smh you had one job.

Ridiculous when you think about it, perfectly evolved 400 million years ago which means to reach unchanging perfection the spider worked it all out during periods of Earth not suitable for producing said spider...or its predators(organisms aren't going to develop defense without a reason to). Most of what I hear from this well done and beautiful documentary about features of spiders and how they came to be don't line up with logic.

7:30 thats a clear P E on that spiders butt!

33:02 are those baby spiders, or just small by nature?

Earths most numerous predator 🕸️🕷️

If anyone can help a curious person find out what a barking spider looks like and sounds like please let me know

Spiders Shows pic of frog

These arthropods look alien to me.

Best entomological greetings from Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine.

You said they suck the juices of the prey out through their fangs? I always thought the fangs were only used to inject venom. And that they use their chelicerae and "sucking stomach" to grind up and eat the prey.

Moral of the story: Rabbits are assholes.

How can spiders be more numerous than ants?

Spiders r WoW asF ...new found intel acquired

How will the flowers be pollinated

Does anyone Else find it funny that the video is about spiders and there's a picture of a frog for the thumb??? Ha ha

33:45 how is it known they understand the meanings of that???

An advert 2 min in to a video this long ! Wtf

Chilli spiders shut their bones not the skin that is bonus comes out and makes new bones tell her like a baby with starting its life but getting bigger every

👌🏾

I counted 150 ads on this video....

How many intros does this fing video have…?

Cool video but couldn't continue watching because of the annoying background noise.
