Taken From Blue Planet II
This bold cinematic experience takes viewers on a magical adventure across the greatest, yet least known, parts of our planet – our oceans. Since Blue Planet aired in 2001, our understanding of life beneath the waves has completely changed. Travelling from the icy polar seas to the vibrant blues of the coral atolls, this series shares these astonishing new discoveries. Meet the strange octopuses lurking in the depths of the Antarctic Ocean. Watch giant trevally fish leap to catch birds in mid-air. And ride on the back of a hammerhead shark as it attacks. Inspiring awe and wonder, Blue Planet II reveals surprising new places, charismatic new characters and extraordinary new behaviours.

What a beautiful crab. This footage was amazing. An octopus climbing over rocks and all!
I never knew crabs could jump so well or that eels could come out of the water! Great cinematography!
I've never seen an eel move outside of the water like that, very interesting to see.
The quality of those footages is just mesmerizing
imagine being a crab and you start to hear this song 2:37
Superb research, superb sounds with suspense, superb camera work and superb narration by sir David Attenborough
The production of this is just, astonishing. I've seen it before, and still amazed by it.
Never seen a 🦀 crab jump like that before. I was spellbound.😮😮
Interesting…. We were recording some videos in the western coast of Sri Lanka about rock crabs at beach rocks. But this is extraordinarily captured to their epitome standard. Amazing videography
I had no idea crabs could run and jump so fast. I always thought they were slow. This is amazing!
This is My parents explaining me the hardships they faced while going to grocery store back in the day:
I did not know crabs could leap like that. Incredible
Moray Eeels that travel across rocks, amazing! Voracious appetite for crab...
I swear I've seen this clip before, but I never get tired of it
I used to watch with 480p when I was little and now 4k. Time flies but nature is still beautiful.
So the crabs are facing sea serpents on one side and the kraken on the other! My all-time favorite animal has always been the octopus so I personally am rooting for the kraken!
The photography is stunning.
WOW AMAZING 4K FOOTAGE AND GREAT COMMENTARY 😮
The sound of the crabs feet tapping as it scatters across is so cute 🥹
This is above and beyond standard story making. Is it the epitome of it? Thank you BBC Earth
