This was actually one of the most difficult shoots for the show because they had to get the camera on a wire that spanned the river to follow the progress of the web being built.
i was thinking about how difficult it would be to get these incredibly focused shots on just a small thread over 25 meters... but they did it and it looks fantastic
More people need to watch these shows. Forty years ago I was watching "The Living Earth" and "Nature" and those nature documentaries instilled a love for ecology and biodiversity. Today, we are fortunate to still have decent documentaries like this that focus on the life without having to resort to shitty soundtracks and loud, nonsensical narration, not to mention unnecessary and often invasive interaction with wildlife. I guess some need greater entertainment value but that's a shame because our natural world is spectacular and the work that Attenborough and the BBC crews do to capture these moments is just as impressive.
100 % true.. The older documentaries are more in tune with the animals than today's, which I feel focus more on loud soundtracks and the new technological equipment that's been enhanced for our viewing pleasure.
Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom, with Marlin Perkins and Jim Fowler. Growing up in the late 60's early 70's nothing even came close. For over 20 years it was without equal.
I have terrible arachnophobia. Small ones, big ones - it doesn't matter. I usually cannot watch even a documentary of them. However, she didn't frighten me. I am glad I was able to see this doc in its entirety. Well done doc.
The wonderful wonders of nature Spiders are one of the most amazing creatures. Throwing nets is an effective method for hunting insects. Genius spider. Thank you, BBC.
Absolutely Amazing!!! Nothing that Man makes, or can create, is not able to equal Mother Nature! It fills me with Awe!! Thank You for this Super Video!!😊😊😊😊
There is no other voice I'd like to listen to more when describing or talking about nature other than Sir David Attenborough's. It's not just his voice but also his deep understanding of the subject that takes you on a captivating journey of its own 😌🙏
Wow, never knew, that the female spiders can spit out a 25 m long of silk. Amazing how they catch their prey. Thanks for your contribution to my knowledge. God bless 🙏🏿❤️
This isn't a new video. BBC included this in a previous documentary some years ago - sorry I don't recall exactly when. The narration may have been re-recorded with an older David Attenborough, but the footage, pote tially exactly the same based on memory, is certainly re-used. That said, the natural abilities of this spider are, and remain, absolutely amazing. Spiders are incredible creatures in ability and intelligence.
I love it when scientists are baffled....God knew what he was doing when he created the impossible. Just like a bumble bee....thanks for this! Hate spiders but much respect to her - what a great creation!
I'm severly arachnophobic, but I still find them endlessly fascinating. I like watching them in documentaries, so that I don't have to worry about them being close.
I had a web in my yard last year that spanned a 20 gap between trees. It had to be done in a similar way to this spider. The body shape and proportions of the spider in my yard were very similar to the vid spider also. Southern Indiana
Freakin' utterly amazing. How nature slowly produced such a creature, from naturally selecting out the survivors, to this current form, boggles my mind.
The strength of the silk is such that a strand 1mm in diameter could support 100kg. Its density is one sixth that of steel so 1kg of silk of 1mm diameter would be 800m long.
Thank you SO much for this video!!! I come across these bridges kayaking on Russian River and it’s always fascinating - I duck under them to avoid breaking. 🖤
I can't believe there's an entire subset of animals that eats the strings that come out of their butt just in case they need to make more butt string later.

@@tunacharm
Yeah. I was thinking the same, that shallow depth of field.
Did they not use a drone?
@@ZergRadio
Not for this shot.
Cant wait till we just let AI do everything... 🎉
Wont be long now before the whole worlds on fire. 🫂🫣

It is a shame that with all the hundreds of "channels" we have now, nature shows get buried under all the mind-numbing distractions.

Couldn't agree more!
What an amazing little spider...🕸 ❤🕸
I'm surprised she doesn't just stand there slamming her car door slapping her dead fish on her bridge...
@Doidera-kw2sr ummmmm....I'm not an overt fan of spiders....but...
God put them together for sure. I love all of these creatures I have found a new love for spiders. We need them!
@@Gabriel.1985. yeah man keep spiders real...
Thank you for this amazing research and footage
*Tougher than steel and softer than cotton* 🕸
Not sure what’s more amazing, the spider or the photographer. 🤯
The spider. Photographer just used an equipment, everyone can do that.
Incredible little spider! So powerful for such a small creature. Thanks for sharing this video.
This is how the world wide Web began? The spider deserves royalty
Are you asking or are you telling?
Bruh
Hahahahaha 🤣 good one
@@Aubrey_Graham1 go back to sleep 😐
Spiders are amazing creatures.
Spiders are a treasure
😮 Im afraid of spiders but this spider girls' talent is damn amazing and impressive. Wow.

all spider can shoot web , which is yucky
The wonderful wonders of nature Spiders are one of the most amazing creatures. Throwing nets is an effective method for hunting insects. Genius spider. Thank you, BBC.
Nature, Attenborough, absolutely mind blowing.
Love nature more than the human race itself!
Sheer poetry to watch. Ingenious insect very capable of taking care of herself
I am speechless at this! Incredible.
Absolutely fascinating!!!
I have seen these crazy lines in Italy too. you can easily spot them when there's a single thread reflecting the light between 2 trees
Here in Canada, too. I think that's just a quick mode of transportation for spiders.
What a talented and beautiful artist!😮😊
Thank you for this amazing video!!
wonderful! Congratulations BBC, always excellent
Spiders are absolutely FASCINATING ❤❤❤
Personally I would rather watch nature than Netflix
Nature & chill
you tellin me netflix's masterpiece "cuties" isn't on your list of things you want to watch? 😂🤢
@@BobrLovr not even close
@@axela.1884 someone speaks my language
@@BobrLovraww you just had to go there lol
By the way, your voice is amazing!
Sir David Attenborough. A legend of nature documentaries.
spiders are the
true architects
Absolutely Amazing!!! Nothing that Man makes, or can create, is not able to equal Mother Nature! It fills me with Awe!! Thank You for this Super Video!!😊😊😊😊
The way of folding of the threads is amazing
I love these videos❤
Loved watching it reel in all that silk like a tiny fisherman. Waste not, want not.
This film footage is awesome 😎
nice camera work
I have never seen spider throwing web up and close personal...thanks to Peter
This whole video itself is 10 times better than the entire plot of madame web
This is absolutely mind blowing. This is the most evolved land creature on earth!
Incredibly amazing !
Its so insane how a 1-2 cm creature casually shoots a 25m rope over a river
That's was really cool watch. I really do learn few things about animals and insect just watching BBC videos.
A string of web stretching from one end of the earth to the other is strong enough to stop a jet airliner mid-flight.

Nature is amazing wow
Anything that catches pests, especially mosquitos, is my friend.
she's as elegant as they come

... It Could have been The BBC Documentary About... I'm Not 100% Sure that It Wasn't About SPIDER'S... YEH!.... Greetings from Saturn 🪐 3:53
Как мало надо для улыбки, посмотреть минутку на паука за своим делом
I love it when scientists are baffled....God knew what he was doing when he created the impossible. Just like a bumble bee....thanks for this! Hate spiders but much respect to her - what a great creation!
Your gods don't exist, sorry to say. ;) This is just plain ol' evolution doing it's thing.
Spinnen sind einfach toll. Gruss Jürgen 🤠
Love Spiders 🕸️🕷️ and this is so marvelous to view in HighDefinition... I've even grown to 🧡 Octopuses too 🐙 their Intelligence is captivating 😁🎒📚
Wow amazing
Amazing little creatures. And amazing footage!
RIP, dragonfly.
I like the way the silk reflects light
Wow, so amazing the way it wraps up.
Such a beautiful creature
They are the octopuses of the insect world
Her strategy is simple, wait till I walk into a single strand and laugh at me flailing around in a panic.
Incredible creation from an incredible Creator
Sorprendente e increíble. Trabajo de las arañas
Scientists still can't figure out how such a small creature can produce so much web - nature is so much superior
Maybe you haven't figured out
But there is plenty of research on it
So amazing!!
These shots are amazing.
Amazing creature
Me personally,… I’ve always been so interested in spiders 🕷️
So you must also waiting for Spiderman : beyond the spider verse
I'm severly arachnophobic, but I still find them endlessly fascinating.
I like watching them in documentaries, so that I don't have to worry about them being close.
@@jippalippa 😂 what is to fear about them
and robbing gas stations, right?
Same here, not just spiders but most apex predators intrigues me.
That's so cool. I love nature's creations 🕸🕷
Okay. I'm impressed. I felt my jaw drop at the length of the initial strand.
Amazing! Both what nature does, and how it has been so nicely photographed!
I had a web in my yard last year that spanned a 20 gap between trees. It had to be done in a similar way to this spider. The body shape and proportions of the spider in my yard were very similar to the vid spider also. Southern Indiana
Fascinating!
Just like an orb weaver spider
wooooooow 😱😱😱
شكرا على الفيديو
Even the spider world has lazy freeloaders
“Tougher than steel.”
Someone walks up and smashes the web with a steel bar. “Who’s tough now?”
Impossible footage!!! Until you did it...
Arachnid engineering 🕸️🕷️🕸️🕷️
Freakin' utterly amazing. How nature slowly produced such a creature, from naturally selecting out the survivors, to this current form, boggles my mind.
Nature produced it, yea? Okay...
Simply Amazing!
Magical 🥰🥰🥰🕸🕸🕸 Love them.
The shoots bro🔥🔥
If you're ever up late at night, and get the chance to watch a spider spin its web, watch and enjoy.
Lady spider needs to learn from Peter Parker to shoot web fast and far. Joke aside, this is super incredible. Amazing documentary, BBC! Kudos!
The strength of the silk is such that a strand 1mm in diameter could support 100kg. Its density is one sixth that of steel so 1kg of silk of 1mm diameter would be 800m long.
How does a spider even generate webs in their body . Only Toby Mcguire can do it without a formula 😂
wow i didn't know little spiders make a sound like a fishing reel
😄 I love the BBC sound effects!
Attenbourough you beauty ❤🎉
Mind boggling!!! 🤷🏻♂️
so interesting , had no idea such a spider existed.
Thank you SO much for this video!!! I come across these bridges kayaking on Russian River and it’s always fascinating - I duck under them to avoid breaking. 🖤
Spiders scare me but this is crazy.
Glad you said "real life spider" and not "fake spider" or you would have confused us all.
I can't believe there's an entire subset of animals that eats the strings that come out of their butt just in case they need to make more butt string later.
Thank you 4 sharing another spectacular MIRACLE invented by Mother Nature!!!
🕸🕸🕸🕸🕸🕷🕸🕸🕸🕸🕸
Ok spider 🕷️🕸️
سبحان الله العظيم….
يخلق الله من يشاء.
So that's what I've been walking into when outdoors...interesting 🤔
Just wonderful ❤
nature is just mind boggling 😜
if something came out of me that long i'd die.💀
Woow so amazing😮❤
Wow. Incredible world - Why are we finding it so difficult to protect it for our species????
Damn.
Amazing!
