Sailfish Are Master Hunters | Planet Earth | BBC Earth 

Show some to sail in sea sir.

School teachers to students when officials from the government visit the school:

True

Actually it's not as that bad, if you think about it properly.

@@frenne_dilley I mean it is kinda awful, sure. But I think those fish don't really mind our names.

@@padolveres9441 This was a very comprehensible joke friend try and give it another go.

@@padolveres9441 yikes the joke went right past you 😂

Nice

Stop being a smart ass

@Laughing Out Loud grow up chump

xd

Razor ramon El jefe u stfu

Or gator bait

That sailfish is white-male privileged and should be arrested for assaulting those female fish.

MOMO stop being a troll

@@nefhelimwhat609 Nah.

@@momo1461 Those poor bait fishes were just peacefully protesting under the ocean

They do. Their bill is to knock their prey off balance long enough to scarf them down, not actually impale them, though.

niiiiiice

so like a whip or somethng lol

It under water, not land, but I guess a night stick would be an appropriate approximation.

that and it adds mass plus better streamline body shape

EinSophistry I feel ya, I love your kinda thinkin bro

EinSophistry I hoped that happened to lol😂😂

like tiger sharks eat sea gulls who come too close to the water or sit on it

I did too lol

They're not gulls. Frigatebirds I think.

its fascinating and perfect

Not exactly perfect, when fish turn into bait balls, it never ends well for the fish. If they all seperated and ran off at full speed, some of them would live. It's similar to the human mentallity when there is a gunman. We all cower, but if we all rushed him at once, we could take him out. Nature is far far far from perfect.

Sandy Hooker I think he was saying to watch as opposed to a defensive strategy.

Sandy Hooker god i like your name

Tam Ère Maime XD

CommissarKane possibly some kind of remote device

Alexander Düring Yeah most likely

CommissarKane He was dressed as a Sardine 😂

joejitsu034 The sailfish would have eaten him lol 😂 😂 😂

Simone M. Maybe be was dressed as a sailfish instead.

🤣

Well,they are not BMWs..

They are ahead of us

😂

Nice design

Same

I am 66 years old. I have four rules for my life: 1. Never run when you can walk. 2. Never walk when you can stand. 3. Never stand when you can sit. 4. Never sit when you can lie down.

@@andrewheffel3565 😂😂 Love that! Wise words to live by!!

But are you also the world's best sprinter? The fish are both lazy and fit.

never wasting a fin stroke.

Deep Look is another good nature doc to watch with very good narrators.

Wilder Liddle Let me correct you, _nobody_ does it as good as the BBC and Sir David Attenborough

You are so right. It gets me out of depression.

@@nielsnielsen9013 Also wondering

I agree, although sometimes, I really don't think they know as much as they think they do. Like when they're narrating what an animal is thinking.

They have pretty much a hive-mind. Not individualistic at all.

Falcon Wing there are no known hive-minds in nature. Fish use lateral lines to sense the movement and presence of other fish. They are pressure sensors. That's how they react like a group. Humans similarly use hands to communicate dance moves in salsa. Touch is easy to react to.

It's not an exact hive-mind, you're right. I was just simplifying it. Each individual has a set of rules they're supposed to follow, and do not break it because it will endanger their existence and the swarm's. If an individual dies, the swarm doesn't care, the individuals care more about the swarm than themselves, because without it, they will die, they will have a better chance of surviving being picked off one-by-one in a swarm than being stranded from a swarm. Since they all do this, though not without telepathic communication as in a hive-mind, it is pretty similar, though instead done with basic rules "programmed" into each individual. Pretty much a natural hive-mind. Like ant colonies, locust swarms. The pressure sensors allow this to happen, but how do the fish "know" to keep in group at all times, and not break and look only for themselves? Why do they maintain formation instead of all trying to go to the centre for safety? Because the swarm matters more. Hence why I said, "pretty much" a hive mind.

Thats how i feel everyday on the streets lololol jk

When the teacher asks a question and you have to avoid eye contact.

You started to sound like Yoda at the end 💀

@@captainiron0220 😂

I caught an Atlantic Sailfish once. I hadn’t realized before that they have grooves in their back and chest that the dorsal and pectoral fins fold into. Like a plane with retractable landing gear. Absolutely incredible design.

@@brentbryson215 Yes, this adaptation you remark on Brent, is a way of reducing frictional drag. For the work done in oscilating the tail their is less energy expendature in overcoming drag & more energy input into increasing kinetic energy.

evolution is a hoax

Evolution? Can you not see the unbelievable design of this creature? That’s a shame.

Not true, it's more like 20mph. It is still one of the fastest swimmers though.

@@nintenjabennie7917 not true, it is the fastest fish...simple Google would answer that

@@rohit-xr4fc But it can't swim at 68 mph

aren't dolphins the fastest?

@@asianpersuasion4901 Dolphins aren’t fish, they are marine mammals.

rather be a goldfish and go belly up on a bowl then being eaten alive as a snack

No those are sardines of some delineation. Bait fish is a general term for soft defenseless schooling fish that are fed upon.

You either eat or you're eaten

You want little fishes to be ripped apart? That's awfully brutal.

haha

RoMain Lerch you have a kind heart, I can tell

Rest in pieces

why do the greediest people always smell like fish? Because they're sailfish I'll...sea... myself out.

Oh that is terrible. I love it.

Don’t eat all the fish, that is very shellfish of you... Sorry

@@banzai2759 SAILFISH*

When Bobby down south eats all the grits his momma lets him know he’s being sailfish.... bless his heart.

Space = us

Vanitas Desmond I feel like this is a reference to something.... maybe BTILC?

Tune into Catch of the Day to find out...

@@Rick_Sanchez_C137_ it’s a reference to football, stoke city fc

That have a fishy smell

AmeerZx LoLMC that's what the sailfish did to them... ripped!

So many indications that indicates that there must be a Creator. Impossible that all of this occured because of randomness. There is order and design everywhere.

jolly bean

Hunger is a hell of a motivator

? Barracudas are NOT related to sailfish or marlin.

He lost all credibility when they drove the Walrus herd off the cliff with their drones then used the footage in an episode blaming it on climate change.

SAIL... 🇬🇧

@@grahamefreestone5309 😋👍

Huh

@@Politickticktickin it's a traditional Chinese ship.

nope, Here in NC you often release them if you choose to kill one they have to be over 63 inches from the lower jaw to tail ;)

Harold, The Talking Tree Cheetah is faster than a sailfish

Go into your settings and change your eye lids option to open

I saw at least one get eaten lol

What was its name? What dialect did it speak? Taiwanese or Mandarin? Don’t just leave us hanging. Tell us more.

@@Torrque 🤣🤣🤣

@@HebrewHakaishin NO JOKE TELL US MORE LOL

@@kix_501st We are married now. The end

*Facepalm*

It's their only hope of survival. If they were to split up, the sailfish would just hunt each of them down one by one because they can't outswim the sailfish (they're the fastest marine fish in the world). Their only chance is to stick together and hope that they're one of the lucky ones who don't get picked off by the time the sailfish are full and swim off. (And near the end of the video, you can see the school of baitfish is down to about 1/2 or a 1/3 of its original size. That's still a 50% or 33% chance you'll make it, as opposed to nearly zero if you make a run for it alone.)

Government workers are sucking money out of the system? As a former government worker I wish I would’ve known that I could just take money whenever I felt like it, that would’ve made my job a lot more interesting...

Jack M you realise they got a lot right, there tactic is to stab it with their nose and then come back and eat it.

They got a lot. This goes on for a long time. You can actually see a few being eaten

kevin cody trolls...

kevin cody how would a nature documentary would be fake!?

@@robertklotz9319 It looks like an automatic translation of youtube, i don't like that. Total useless youtube option that gives also extra fake informations about the video.
