The giant water lily is VICIOUS! 😱 The Green Planet 🌱BBC 

Agreed.

you are scared? SMH

@@jaylockwood5030 I hope that's a joke and you're not genuinely disabled mentally

sound* so terrifying

😂😂....not bad 🤣🤣

They do the same thing with news, so not that surprising.

Best horror film I’ve seen all year!!

Nature is a real life horror film.

Ah yes of course, the most terrifying thing ever, *David Attenborough*

It was Stuart Little who took the footage. He even invented his own miniature HD camera for his job. Most people don’t know that’s the career he created for himself after the documentary about his life. Top bloke that Stuart Little!

it's not a simple lily pad. it's a GIANT water lily.

It doesnt look like a monster from another world tho..... it looks like nature on our planet

At 2 metres across (6 1/2 feet) and covered in spines, it's no simple lilly pad.

And surviving.

Plant's all like "nah, I'm not gonna eat ya, I'll just obliterate you by merely existing in proximity to you".

@@Loonistrator That will peach !

I was hoping they'd eat some frogs or something... meh

@@Loonistrator i think we've all known people like that

Same

It’s a delicate balance, and in an environment completely devoid of external forces these things would even out. Unfortunately, bring humans into the mix in any shape or form, and suddenly these ecosystems can be set completely out of whack.

@@beezanteeum From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the Blessed Machine. Your kind cling to your flesh, as though it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass you call the temple will wither, and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved, for the Machine is immortal… Even in death I serve the Omnissiah.

The other plants all die from lack of sunlight.

@@olly123451 Such silliness.

I dont think you need me to know that but don't throw too much of our in-between humans morals onto the world. Really doesn't work

it's basically the objective of every plant in existence. plants are not communal, they just want to egotistically take over as much of the planets surface that they physically can.

@@ianswift3521 i get your point, but its not entirely accurate. New and some old data is showing that various plant species can and in fact do communicate together.

@@ianswift3521 Plants are communal - they live in communities with each other and with different species, and more often than not, they enjoy simbiotic relationships with other species.

​@@ianswift3521 plants don't have egos you dumb-dumb ego is a man made concept created from the human experience. Plant's are just like animals they do what they can to survive and spread even if it means killing off other plants to do it. Most plants are co-operative though and don't fight for recorces.

It's a plant eat plant world..

True they gotta watch out for vegans

Laurel Scott .Life is violent. All of us we are just fighting to survive.

yeahh water Lilys more like Water Bullies

@@atrocious_pr0xy 🤣

true

aint nothing innocent about that behaviour. Almost looks like the plant has a brain

Idk how innocent it is… thumbnail alone looks like an alien vulva lol

😅😅

I thought so too until I realized what we do whenever we have salad.

my thoughts exactly

"This just in. A man visiting his local botanical garden was arrested as he was caught ripping off the leaves of water lillies..."

🤣

Hahahaha this comment

To be fair to the lilies at your botanical garden, this video features a specific and unique species that is likely not what your local ponds have growing in them. Regular water lilies are not this aggressive lol

Hopefully his widow and children will live happy lives with the money from this footage.

@@Milamberinx lol hahah...gold

It was all in a studio for real

They probably had a tiny spy camera attached to the water lily leaf in stratic places. Footage like these takes days to complete. There's no way a human did all that.

@@ToudaHell r/whoosh

Yeah. Thankfully beavers eat them. Guess they're good for food if you can eat them so fast.

@@azuroslazuli6948 Beavers don’t live in South America???

Sounds kinda like humans, doesn’t it?

Sounds like a Karen

@@aimanazminovich3602 They do, they just walk on two legs there.

If Anglo-Saxon's where plants.

@@greyfoxblade I am not Anglo Saxon but massively increasing life spans on the planet and giving billions over billions in money to other people? I don’t think that’s a good comparison.

@@arminius504 I dont care about who you are, nor do real men pocket watch other men. This is a Perfect comparison Elon, 🤣😂 that plane flew over your head a billion times! Enjoy your tea & cake 🤭🤫...

@@arminius504 Go easy on him. He just entered college and is learning to hate white people (including himself).

Damn nature you scary 😂

@@Sbcmlg28247 just imagine the creatures and plants that lived millions of years ago when the earth was more radical and violent creatures like the Megladon shark are just fascinating the shark had no natural predators as it was that big and strong nothing could kill it not even whales amazing

@@Doncorleone47 I watch videos that talk about that kind of stuff all the time. It’s crazy that even the insects were massive back then and all the different ecosystems had an animal or plant that thrived in that setting no matter how extreme it seemed.

This is how I imagine Cardi Be’s lady parts look.

nah dont worry, AI got you, theyll just generate his voice

@@andersomcarlsen4131no. you can’t replace the real thing with an AI.

This is a different type of lily pad from the usual kind

Those are over 6 feet wide, and they're native to Bolivia its not likely that you've ever seen one

​@@Fine_i_set_the_handlethere is actually a variety that has had measured specimens of 3m wide, that is 9 ft... They can also withstand a weight of 150 lbs if evenly distributed, i could imagine a 12 year old crawling on it 😮

Beauty often hides ugliness.

But these can't be functioning ecosystems anymore, right? Are they destroying their own habitats?

I'm not sure the music was entirely necessary, but for once I'm not complainin' 😁

I'm kinda impressed in your vernacular skills while lacking proper punctuations....I almost, run out of breath when reading aloud. But very eloquently put.

@@jvon3885 I used talk to text because I can't see the keyboard on my phone cuz I'm old LOL so I don't always remember to say things like,.; Etc see when I say it they get put into punctuation but not words it's weird

@@jvon3885 I put some punctuation in there lol

@@jvon3885 it's fine to me ..

@@SweetLilWren much better.

😏

Perfect training for if Poison Ivy becomes a real human ong 😩😫

was looking for this 😂

Now we need to rename it the “water bully” instead.

@keir farnum Something else would just take it's place.

No, it is not "Nature's" glory, but God's glory. Quit giving an intelligent mind to blind chance evolution, rather than to the One who made it all and knows each star by name (Genesis 1:1).

@@mojo7495Preach it brother

⁠@@mojo7495Nature and science are god. You and I are god. The Big Bang and the ultimate eventual heat death of the universe are god. From the microbes in our guts to the hydrogen atoms in our sun to the massive black holes in the center of all of the millions of galaxies... all that is god. There's no need to limit yourself or your understanding of the universe and it's wonders based upon our ancestors limited ability to make sense of the wonders of life. Don't put limits on god,don't put limits on yourself, and don't for one second think that humans are so special that just a few of us have any kind of special place in the vast cosmos that god would create something so flawed and obviously of human design as your bible. I'll take the words of Jesus, who was clearly one of enlightenment and so very different that those who created and perpetuate a religion using his name and yet ignoring his message as a means of controlling humans and consolidating their grip on power. There is no heaven or hell. For now we have this one existence on this beautiful planet. Perhaps when we die we return to nothingness; after all we are all made of the stars. Perhaps there is something beyond our understanding, a higher level of awareness or perhaps a lower level of cosmic consciousness. Or perhaps everything is all just a computer simulation of a super advanced future human seeking to better understand where it came from.

Now you can witness a he/she using a dilation tool to keep it’s bonus hole from closing up.

​@@mojo7495definetly sure its just nature

Cameras and computers for editing

@@galedribble9535 What's a "camera"? What's "editing"? I guess I have some internet searching to do.

@@thunderfun I’m surprised you know what the internet is 😏

That was just amazing, wasn't it?!

You gotta make yourself big

It's a way to keep other competing plants out from their space so that they have enough area for their pads to grow on. It also a way to move the competing plants into concentrations where they'll suffer from other giant lilies. Killing the competing plants helps them out, as without their competitors, they'll have all the area to themselves for a while before their life ends, restarting the cycle all over.

Lol

Also called a "Putin Lily" ...

Turf

@@greystone2594 Uncle Joe lily, sounds better.

🤣🤣🤣

Tacked on purely for effect. Nothing to do with what's actually going on.

@@mickoz9389 yea everybody noticed that and that’s the humour

I was watching this imagining how much fun the foley team was having on this project. It's rather over the top, but perfectly fitting at the same time.

@@Max.Paprika Mad props to them! Honestly made me so much more invested into the storyline

It turned me on..

I know, riiigghht? Even though it sounds like an understatement.. ...Uncle Sam is being called the same. So it makes perfect-sense.

Pretty sure that was the point 😅

behaves like a plant, but speeding it up makes the behaviors more familiar to us.

Well, plants exhibit A LOT of behaviors that seem animal-like (motion towards a stimuli, respond to attack, communication and protection of its own species, fighting for resources etc) just,,,,,,, slower. Also they have many molecular mechanisms that are definitely more advanced and elegant than those of animals, including humans.

In the future, they might evolve into intelligent plant/animal hybrids

@@le_dr3677 no, they can't. The fact that something is a plant or an animal depends solely on their evolutionary classification.

@@le_dr3677 Well they could evolve to be intelligent but they will always be a plant, you keep all of your clades as you move up the evolutionary chain. For example all humans are still chordates and primates, if we evolve past humanity into something else, we will still be vertebrates and primates.

It reminded me of a specific body part when it unfurled.

@@theTruthSeekerishere lmao

There’s a whole book about engineering taking inspiration from nature - biomimicry! Fascinating stuff

​@@theTruthSeekerishere I'm really surprised that the whole comment section isn't filled with comparisons to that specific body part and how scary it looks! 😊

Best thing is it design itself, no intelligence behind it at all. Right?

I was wondering about that? Lol it means the lilies dies and there light again?? The cycle starts over ?

@@SpaceOutlaw_ The lilies do not die but they prevent light from entering the water which kills aquatic plants located below

@@SpaceOutlaw_ I don't think the lilies need oxygen from the water.

Lmao !

Thingies 🤣 I think thorns is the word you're looking for.

@@djancak well it is the system we can't change it so we have to admire it just like the saying "if you can't beat em, join em" humans do the same too lol

A hidden gem? Wow...

@K Y Can't we just agree to disagree

Porque no los dos?

Hardly hidden. Hardly a gem (more like an invasive species like the Japanese knotweed).

delicacy? or did you mean edible?

@@ninjahattori7576 actually during the fruiting season it is sold all over the markets of our state and people buy it, and sometimes the price is also very high but people still buy it. That's why I said it's a delicacy but I guess we can say edible.

@@easterkoireng2877 that was my bad, sorry and thanks for explaining it

@@ninjahattori7576 wc and thanks for reading it😅

How does it taste?😀

Herpes?

Yep, straight-up _murder!_

well I have bad news for you buddy ..

they have become invasive species in other warm parts of the world. but their size at least makes them an easy target for culling

Too lait they already think their a nice ornamental plant.

Haha right.

lily: "i missed the part where that's my problem"

Why?

@@tiredbird471 it really ain't. Its nature

Their plant corpses will make good fertilizer for the giant water lilies. 😎

😂

Best comment ever…I am dead…

@Patrick Ryll lol. This guy gets it!

because we all came from a common ancestor

It’s essentially a crown of thorns starfish in plant form
