We must take a moment and recognize the absolute mastery it takes to film such moments .

[@ATRTAP]

The BBC hands-down makes the best animal documentaries currently. Gorgeous stuff.

[@elichabassol5238]

The ocean never ceases to astound and terrify me.

[@WJen8]

I had no idea this monster existed, nor the defense mechanism of the prey. Nature is wild!

[@DeLion_1612]

The cinematography, the music and of course the narration for Planet Earth III has been phenomenal so far!

[@kennethwhite8628]

That one smaller fish backed up after seeing the others demise like “Oh Hell Naw” 😂😂😂

[@gooutanddogreatthings]

Filming, editing, commentary from Attenborough 👏🏼, thanks BBC for giving us the PE III!

[@Sirdilophosaurusthethird2.0]

H o w? Just how

[@lefkytheshin]

Ha! I like how the angel shark looked as though it was thinking, "wait a minute... something's off here," then proceeds to spit out the baby horn shark.

[@albertol9654]

Crazy how each animal has a secret weapon or attribute.

I'm now 53 years old, and I grew up watching BBC wildlife documentaries (usually starring/narrated by Attenborough) while sitting with my Dad; lots of fond memories there. If he were still around to see the incredible quality of the current stuff, he'd be truly amazed, impressed and most certainly entertained!

[@marvinn6044]

Absolutely beautiful how effortless the angel shark just glides along the ocean floor. Amazing shots.

[@bielaggs]

I like how the horn shark swam away like nothing had happened, as if it wasn't inside another animal just a few seconds prior

[@AdventureswithLandon]

BBC Earth has the best quality when it comes to nature shows. Can’t wait to watch this series. Also love the way the Angel Shark smiles at the camera after catching it’s prey.

[@MoleculeXmolecule]

Lol that shot at

[@phatape]

Round of applause for the young horn shark giving us a demonstration on what happens when someone tries to eat it.

[@Holycryptonite47]

I swear that angel shark is just straight up grinning after every meal.

[@LPM147]

SoCal diver for 20+ years. You've done an excellent job of portraying the absolute beauty and mystery of our kelp forests. If you're ever on Catalina Island, all you need is a mask/snorkel and fins to discover this amazing environment!

[@vaakdemandante8772]

The production value of BBC programs related to nature is beyond expectations, off the charts, unmatched by any.
