- When the air itself becomes saturated and the temperature is just right, rare giants start to emerge. Armed with 6 thousand teeth to shred its prey, the Powelliphanta Snail is a voracious predator with revolting table manners.

This video made me realise how earthworms have zero defence against predators. Nature was just like, "you, be snacc."
The nature tell me the same thing 😏

But earthworm my boy,
You are the snacc
@Lion Mane Actually that's not true at all... If you cut in half earth worm only that part with the head will regenerate. With flat worm planaria... That's other thing.
@@LyuboslavDimov flat worms and earthworms aren't closely related so he's right . In fact a earthworm would be closer to a snail or to an octopus than a flat worm.

I just cannot fathom the quality of the lenses, the value of the camera and the amount of patience needed to get such a tremendous footage.
I don't understand how they even catch the snail right before it's meal time? Like dude how did you know that it will eat the earthworm?
@@happy__human I think they actually build an in-door environment that imitates the natural habitat, rather than sit there and wait for the snail to "hunt".
There is a short clip explaining how they did "in-door" videos to mimic animals in their natural habitat.
@@billywong1611 to add to this, the best editing is unseen/unnoticed, could even bee random b roll footage of any snail they have, then they cut the clips together and in night ominous sound, crickets and slime sound effect to give that night crawling feel
The snail is a paid actor
It’s one thing to produce this with a captive snail, how they’ve shot 7000 other sequences of animals/insects as equally stunning is an even bigger question 😮
The next time I suck down spaghetti, it will be a slow death for I'm the ultimate predator.
I can never eat spaghettis again...
Predator you say? Why don't you take a seat over there.

@@RubyDoobieScoo Just because most of us don't have your catholic shame culture does not make us creeps. People who can't go in a public sauna or have a bath in a lake without putting on swimgear - that's the real creeps.

to add to the horror, a snail's mouth is lined with 6000 spiky tooth that aids in skinnig and shredding its prey while it slowly devours it. Good night!

I found some juvenile sails on my property in the Far North of NZ. So excited when I did my research and realised what they were. The fact I found the young snails means they are breeding here. I am a lot more careful now when working around my property so not to endanger them.

Just when you thought nature could not get any weirder, we have carnivorous snails.
@Tin Tin where is your picture from pls
I had one of these on my hand yesterday. They’re such cool snails.
There's a whole family of terrestrial ones, Rhytididae
I'm not sure about aquatic snails, but with the cone snails I'm sure the ocean has no shortage of them either!
You might also want to check out the family Oleacinidae: There is the rosy wolf snail, for example, in Florida....
Well done TH-cam, you got me terrified of snails
It's a slug

Woah! Who could've thought of a snail being so predatory! Brilliant footage. Thanks for the share👍
Imagine if those things were human-sized and used camouflage.
Essentially a Prototype Predator/Yautja
Why would you put that thought in my head
65+ million years ago, that was a distinct possibility. There were already 6 foot long centipedes crawling around.
Douglas Cartee There were probably no giant insects in the cretaceous.
Factual Opinion 😀Super paranoid mode 😲
i just thought snails are vegitarians but holly molly
Just this one and the Rosy WolfSnail are carnivorous. to my knowledge (and I only learned about this worm-sucking one today)
saxman642 how it names (biological classification)? (Sorry, I don't speak English)
Most are omnivores.
A number of fully aquatic marine snails are carnivores as well, cone snails are the best known, and some equipped with a poisonous, shooting harpoon, so deadly that it can kill people with it. I believe there are still some you tube videos about them as well.
Only humans and cows are dumb enough to be vegetarians
I love videos lime this. The natural world is just incredible

it is
What an amazing animal. I wonder how many worms they have to catch each day to live. Does anybody know? The things I learn by watching this channel are just soooo fascinating. Once again BBC Earth delivers! Thank you so much for uploading.
Tom tonka Snails have extremely low metabolisms (which is why they're so slow) so they probably have to feed once every one-two weeks.
My goodness. Thank you for the reply. Makes it seem even more amazing they managed to catch this special footage
Tom tonka They did say they could only be filmed in captivity, so this was likely set up specifically to catch this footage.
I like to imagine the look on the narrator's face when the gave him the script for this and told him to make it sound cool.
I love how after its done eating it just keeps moving around acting like nothing happend

TH-cam: Rare Giant Snail Feasts on Earthworm
Me: Ok
It's great to appreciate the type of people who record wildlife footage for the public to watch.
The snail removed its shell to become faster, but it only became more sluggish.
Love the sounds affects
this makes me feel worm inside.
The sound of the moving tho
They always add revolting sound effects to nature documentaries
I wonder if there was even a single actual natural sound in this clip. Having pet snails, I know the sounds they make. It's an occasional "pff" of them opening their breathing hole; rasping of radula on something they are eating or trying to; occasional rumble of their shell rubbing against something; a loud bang of a snail falling off. None of these "slime" sounds.
@Veonnj Caines: check this out: recording the sound of snail in anechoic chamber. Enjoy: th-cam.com/video/lZ4Bh2RkQhM/w-d-xo.html
NOW, I've seen everything, a snail 'hunting' an earthworm..
Best sound effects for a snail eating an earthworm!
So this is what the french have been eatin
They're simply thinning their numbers to save us. The French are the heroes we never asked for.
