    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.
    Welcome to BBC EARTH! The world is an amazing place full of stories, beauty and natural wonder. Here you'll find 50 years worth of entertaining and thought-provoking natural history content. Dramatic, rare, and exclusive, nature doesn't get more exciting than this.

    I love how that stingray is like the antithesis of the crabs the crabs are small, reddish orange, hard and spiky/textured and than the stingray is big, navy blue, soft and smooth. Even the movements are the opposite the crabs move jerkily and erratically while the stingray flies in gracefully like water with fluid and graceful motions.

      The Stingray knows the crabs aren't dead. That's why it's chasing them around trying to eat them.

    That Stingray was the penultimate elegant predator aaaall the way up until 4:11 when the crab went "Want some? Come get it!" and seemingly pinched on going "Get back here you little sh*t" at 5:00 🤣

    That one crab was such a badass squaring up and trying to pinch the stingray.
