As animals, the biggest problem they face without being disturbed by humans is eating. In order to solve this problem, they have eight immortals, each showing their skills. Some rely on natural skills, with superb single combat ability. Some, although their individual strength is very small, can still capture prey perfectly with the strength of the team. Others rely on patience and wisdom to solve their own survival problems.
Whether it's the land or the sea, whether it's the desert or the wilderness, whether it's as powerful as a roc or as small as an ant. As a life born on earth, perhaps they do not have the strong feelings and wise philosophical thinking like human beings. But they are equally tenacious, equally hardworking and equally eager to live. This is the mission given by genes to all creatures on earth. Although it is very difficult, but they still fulfill this mission.
Compared to the evolution of humans to such an intelligent point, the evolution of animals and even other creatures to what they are today, mastering such a survival skill took too long. Although we are also working hard to live, but our hard work compared to their hard work, really is nothing. Although the same fate cannot be controlled by ourselves, we, to a certain extent, also control their destiny. Why can't we give these companions who have accompanied us from ancient times to the present a little patience and care, so that we can come together from the ancient times, and go to the future together.
Writing this, I suddenly thought of robots and artificial intelligence, with the dimension of the whole earth, the evolution of human generation compared to animals can be called acceleration, then the evolution of robot generation can be called the speed of light. One day in the future, robots will evolve and develop to maturity, and how they will look at and treat us human beings.
Sideburns
While sideburns are not as capable of fighting alone as cheetahs, teamwork allows them to hunt prey much larger than themselves, with a higher success rate. But working as a team means needing twice as much food.
Mantis
The mantis has forelimbs that strike ten times faster than the blink of an eye, and is the only insect known to have three-dimensional vision.
Darwin's Bark Spider
A webbing spider called the Darwin's Bark Spider grows along the rivers of Madagascar's rainforests, where it hunts prey across the river, and is able to spew a 25-meter-long bridge of silk with the help of the wind, and it is able to weave the world's largest round spider web.
Polar bears
Under the weight of a warming climate, polar bears have even been known to climb dangerous seaside cliffs to eat eggs and chicks in the summer when the ice melts.
Chimpanzees
Chimpanzees are also animals that rely on team hunting. In hunting monkeys, there is a clear division of labor between those who drive them away and those who crouch on escape routes....... Even with such skillful hunting, their hunting success rate is only 50 percent.
Marching ants
The hunting success rate of 100% is marching ants, fighting at the level of millions of units, catching 30,000 prey per day, the team division of labor is more developed and detailed. Waste disposal is even considered. It's a good thing ants are small, or they would surely be the rulers of the planet.
A fish that can fall in love with a seabird
There is also a flying fish that can fly more than 600 meters with the power of the wind.
Super action - cross-species hunting
We have to mention the sardine hunting bit. Although the sardine's escape technique of following its companion's movements has been perfected, it can't hold up to too many enemies. In order to enjoy this feast in the sea, tuna, dolphins, sea lions and sharks join forces and form a super army to **** together to surround the sardines.
Blue Whale
The blue whale is truly, only the vast and boundless ocean can produce such a great species. The crew spent up to two years in order to shoot the blue whale, the first year ended in failure, this kind of patience and perseverance, in order to achieve the goal does not give up the spirit is really worthy of our country to shoot documentary guides and teams to learn.

I have to say, the BBC produced a really good documentary! Very engaging and entertaining.
The picture is very texture, many shots are particularly moody, (the lion kind of wind hair fluttering the image of the king, the blue whale line smooth with a kind of and the sea into one of the meek, and so on), in short, it is an episode after another episode of the blockbuster.
Not only that, can make people laugh, especially remember that the hand slippery lizard, rewind and watch several times; can also make people cry, those who are tightly strangled by the wire animals, how innocent and how heartbreaking; can also make people think, especially so that I remember the seagrass fish, although living in the water, but will not be able to swim, and so can only live in a clump of sargassum in the can't leave, at the beginning I thought it existed in the meaning of what exactly? The meaning of its existence in the end is what, but after seeing its extreme camouflage efforts to capture prey I understand but are just survival, human beings and what is the difference.
My favorite part of the show was the behind-the-scenes stories at the end of each episode, and the final episode, where so many people who are y fascinated by animals and nature give their time and even their lives to make more people understand and protect nature.
It doesn't just stop at documenting and showing, but also exploring and looking forward to the future.

It's been a long time since I cried at a documentary. I don't have a low tear point, but I do cry every time I listen to a symphony. Part 4 about marine life (undoubtedly my current favorite) - I cried because of how hard it is for those predators to hunt; I cried because of the exhaustive flight of those being hunted; I cried because survival is so hard and so short; I cried because of the determination, the will, and the final `poor end of the road' to survive, There is no way out. No matter how understanding animals (sea lions, dolphins, seals, etc.), in the face of life and death and instincts will certainly reveal the grim and cruel side of the teeth.
Why documentaries? Because of the lack of human and material resources, hardware (diving and filming equipment, tools, boats, etc.) and software (specialized knowledge, inside information, etc.). Because I don't have the expertise, the zoological knowledge, and the dedication to do it myself. Being a human being is fortunate but also painful, because some animals live only to survive, to feed, to escape from predators all day long. Their short life is over, but human beings have more freedom and choices, whether it is the place to live, the people to live with, the means to make a living, the length of life, and so on. I got teary-eyed again thinking about it.
This documentary has definitely become one of my favorites again. The graphics and music are top notch. The knowledge is not deep, but you can still learn something. Especially the grueling combination of photography and zoologists is unimaginable. Countless hours of searching, waiting, dipping, and unproductive searching in the extreme cold depths of the ocean. Finally, at the magical time when the weather and the animals all happened to cooperate, these precious high-definition images comparable to movie quality were captured.
"David Attenborough once again joins forces with the BBC to present a new documentary, created by the Planet Earth team, that showcases the dramatic moments of the animal's search for food, and reveals for the first time the hunting behavior of the humpback whales in South America's Mizzei, borrowing footage from movies and plays in an effort to give viewers a persuasive impression of the animals. The film crew traveled throughout the rainy season. The crew traveled through rainforests, tundra, oceans, grasslands, polar regions, and typical ecological environments, and also documented the efforts of scientists and environmentalists to protect endangered animals.
