Experience a Thrilling Hunt From a Cheetah's perspective | BBC Earth Explore

[@ryklatortuga4146]

Amazing how the Cheetah can run so fast after it swallowed the Cameraman really

[@abdnahid]

LMAO HAHAHA

[@keino111689]

kuku muku 🤦🏾‍♂️. It’s a silly joke. He knows the camera is on its head.

[@ludwigvanmozart891]

kuku muku r/woosh

[@masamuneshirow2]

Best comment!

[@cryptic3130]

Haha

[@w3sp]

Now THAT is something I haven't seen before. Awesome!

[@tatsusama3192]

Anyone else just imagine a GoPro strapped to the top of the cheetah's head? Made me giggle:3

[@DorianFr1992]

I surely did, LOL

[@Delaney-and-the-Starlight]

Dear goodness I can't STOP thinking about it! XD

[@memyself1176]

Tatsusama that really was a GoPro strapped on the cheetahs’s head

[@mzaphod64]

Why you looking at me?? What?? Something on my face?? I was born this way, stop it!

[@syedyahyasafdari-d2174]

Around the neck actually

[@thechamalowdestroyer2309]

Would be a lot better if it just showed the footage of the GoPro and not interrupting it with those useless comments of excitement

[@MisterBhodisattva]

The Chamalow Destroyer Yes. Thought the Same. Spoiled the video

[@happytrailsgaming]

Did you complain when you were born??

[@darksied1098]

Yaboy lmao

[@FRYSMASH]

Agree, would have loved to see it full speed too. Seeing it slowed down takes away from the impressiveness of the whole thing.

[@arpadt8436]

Or once in real time before or after this slow motion stuff.

[@Rocko76]

Unbelievable footage: when I was a kid I always dreamed to be a cheetah sprinting on the plains of Africa...and there it is! With such incredible documentaries we can manage to create awareness around this wonderful creature and on how to save it from extinction.

[@stevenbaumann8692]

This is epic!

[@vatsaljadav5528]

Steven Baumann it would have been epic if they caught the prey..

[@tacobellemployee6836]

ok now thus us oeic

[@decemberlong9256]

THIS AMAZINGLY EPIC!!!!! I FEEL LIKE I AM HIM

[@geronimo8159]

More hunt, less people please!

[@Forthewin1436]

geronimo8159 right?

[@bexer2172]

geronimo8159 *ARE YOU THANOS*

[@IC_Death]

Agreed

[@8AMG]

This segment had potential but they ruined it with their interruptions and edit

[@harneetsingh3677]

You didn’t have to slow it down. You should have shown the chase in realtime for once at least. Took the thrill out it.

[@rotinpeaces8496]

That gave me goosebumps. What an incredible view!! Really shows the tactics of a predator and the endurance they bare. And prey to protect their young even if it costs them. Simply stunning!

[@XFCBXS3rgy]

How fun would it be if all animals had social media like this lovely cheetah. Thanks for sharing

[@Fiyaaaahh]

This wasn't anywhere near top speed though... they seem to give up rather quickly.

[@freddyjones1744]

Cheetahs never go top speed in the wild as they can only maintain it for 10 seconds otherwise they might die

[@sr-hd3bz]

Fiyaaah they dont go top speed because they can over heat very fast and die

[@rand0m0mg]

Dude... it was in slow-motion.

[@gordonhopkins4658]

Also, when the adult Eland came into picture, they would have realised they had no chance of a kill. Even that baby Eland would have been close to 8 times the weight of the cheetah

[@Zeepj88]

The cheetahs didn't go at top speed because the calf wasn't going at top speed so it wasn't necessary for them, it seems they called off the attack quick because the mom was been too defensive and they perceived It as a too much risk for injury.

[@nitin-pillai]

Great Graphics, this new game looks good. *10/10 IGN*

[@joyconbulb3743]

0/10 IGN: to much water

[@prakharsrivastava3568]

Camera on a cheetah's head is much more stable than people recording random videos.

[@jospi2]

Wow, what a stable camera view. Great stuff.

[@MrBibo2050]

built-in gimbal stabliser.

[@x3ni487]

MrBibo2050 the animal that does this the better is the chicken, have you ever seen a chicken on a motorbike tank (hidden behind the windshield) wearing a gopro ? Looks stable AF, its head barely moves even with the tilt and acceleration. Try holding a chicken in your hands and move it around, do 8s, whatever, its head doesn't move

[@Finkelfunk]

Where exactly did they strap that go pro on tho?

[@TheFoxDevil666]

The head or most likely at the start of where the neck begins

[@Maurice_Moss]

It's willy

[@zaheersarang4562]

In Namibia

[@grantblankenship5298]

It’s cock

[@ityodad4669]

Finkel - Funk its leg

[@ewanfenelon2394]

Phenomenal! From their perspective you can truly appreciate how large their prey is in comparison to the cheetahs. I love our planet's biodiversity, it's a shame about the humans though...

[@HenrythePaleoGuy]

Indeed.

[@Infernalhypernova]

Whats wrong with humans?

[@4lfie-]

Humans are by far and away the most diverse species on the planet...

[@Infernalhypernova]

+Alfie Depends on your definition of diverse.

[@COVID-19_Crab]

Humans are BLAND

[@pustulio81]

Amazing footage, a different perspective for a chase is long overdue. Really got a sense for the speed they get up to in such a short time.

[@_elenaio_]

Fascinating! More videos like this, please ^-^

[@sunbro9076]

I'd definitely like to see a similar video from the point of view of a shark or a bird of prey.

[@HazmanTheGreat]

Yes my favorite animal doing what its made to do!

[@simon1430]

Failed hunting?

[@stepoffthebeatenpath7765]

Run so it’s baby doesn’t get eaten?

[@tech_shield6963]

Nobody cares and ok

[@PoolProfessionals]

You're exactly right. That is how God made it.

[@ItsNikoHimSelf]

Loosing?

[@iKlaSiicKoNii]

I love how the gazelle swerved between the bushes to slow down the cheetahs, such smart creatures

[@dotdotdot1113]

This is truly fascinating. The first person perspective of one of the fastest animals and predators on land.

[@fakzo7118]

Mind blown! That is epic footage. Thank you for the upload

[@SuperChristianMiiworld]

Just this last week I was searching all over the web for a video like this: prey and predators with cameras. THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING MY PRAYERS, BBC EARTH! Can't wait to see this from the prey's perspective!

[@hi-ys4pz]

It would have been a lot better if u had shown in normal speed then in slow motion

[@HipsterBot2000]

Geez! This was a great video. Awoke my senses. Made my day thanks

[@Geminei]

This was amazing footage, more videos like this please!

[@larrycung9131]

The way the dirt was flying everywhere. So cool!

[@TChops-hi7hr]

Now THIS is just straight awesome cuz I don't think any of us have seen a cheetah hunt from the CHEETAH'S perspective so far. But if there's any way we could get the whole hunt in real speed and again slowed down, I'll bet that video will hit a million views! Awesome job to the people who do this for a living!

[@theotherside931]

BBC, you win hands down. I've never seen a hunt from an animal's perspective in my 3 decades of existence.

[@capnhawkins]

"What on AIRTH?" Full credit to him for acknowledging that the air holds the cheetahs too.

[@flightlesslord2688]

This skill takes more than instincts, we dont appreciate the abilities of animals. Amazing footage

[@aukua5512]

I have seen a few photos of what the camera would be when it's strapped around the cheetah's head. It's pretty unique that to see from the cheetah's point of view or perspective of how they tried to hunt down those elands. Awesome footage tho. But it's even cool when it's both normal speed and then slowed down. It just look amazing and epic as well. Did you guys strapped the camera around the cheetah's head when it's moving or did you guys tranquilizied it, like putting it unconscious and then strapped the camera around it's head? Like how you guys put the camera around the cheetah's head? But otherwise awesome video here! 👍

[@Thisispow]

This is great though please leave more of the scenes in real time, then we can get an idea of the speed in real-time.

[@petlover0231]

It's just so thrilling and chilling to hear him breath like that

[@kingammo6090]

Love this First-Person Mode! LIONS, Wild Dogs, Hyenas MORE MORE & MORE First-Person

[@userthe7622]

King AMMO 6090RP Think of those first person view of a prey, of a victim of terrible murder, go.

[@techchipnet]

Wow 😍

[@jugurthasyphax6341]

Him : "Do you see the difficulties of negotiating those bushes?" Her : "That's what I was trying to convey last night in the tent."

[@deadlybananas]

Dope. Prefer an uninterrupted clip with only audio commentary though, but fantastic footage

[@waydeclarke5349]

Incredible! Definitely creat a series like this

[@Maren-rs8mb]

That was amazing and epic!

[@middo5884]

Absolutely breathtaking. My goodness I’ve never seen anything like it.

[@aukua5512]

Middo Yes, they strapped a camera to the cheetah's head/neck that you get to see from the cheetah's point of view or perspective of how they would work together as a team to hunt down large prey like the elands shown in the video. Elands are antelope that can weigh up to a ton in weight. And can stand up to 6 feet tall at the shoulders. And they can run up to 45 miles per hour and jump up to 7-8 feet high. Yeah, that's definitely breathtaking.

[@tusharsahu1399]

Worth watching of 2:12 minutes, I wish many more such videos should be captured to understand prospect of creatures👍🏻😊

[@jaguarilike2210]

Not kidding! But its déjà vù for me to watch it. Just last night I was thinking what if we could see a cheetah’s speed and the way it targets it’s prey. Thanks for granting my wish, I didn’t even had to search for this video.

[@calixdazeroth1422]

that was incredible

[@kefkapalazzo1]

calix dázeroth lll

[@stefansalvatierra4913]

Incredible! Seeing the world through a cheetah’s eyes..

[@TinkerTailorSoldier1]

Stefan Salvatierra well... from top of a cheetahs head.

[@deeptajayakumar4964]

Great how the mother tried to slow down to save her baby. Mothers always rock!

[@sachinraghavan4556]

How do they even put the camera on them, do they tranq them first?

[@Nexus2Eden]

It is amazing how the mother throws herself between the cheetah and her baby. Either she knows she can kick its head in or she is making a huge sacrifice - either way...Brave mother.

[@Skinnamarink.]

Remarkable! This is just wonderful!

[@shayanijaz1]

Wow! This was amaazing.....i want more videos like it

[@darianf5833]

I applaud the camera man for riding that cheetah without falling off, crazy stuff

[@chivo_gaming]

We need more videos like this...this was amazing even though they didn't get the kill...

[@Oswald_Thatendswald]

Pov shots on cheetahs look absolutely amazing with a stabilizer.

[@mxhsin6580]

Mother's love 😥😭♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@speedstriker]

Every boy who played rugby knows exactly what this felt like for the cheetah. Even if you played terribly, when the silhouette of that target appeared behind the bush, you're right there with the cheetah.

[@MohitHuda]

Awesome....no words for it...the thrill of chasing..it's just amazing

[@DustuLokVanish]

Breath taking!!! That's like BBC nature series.

[@Jedz999]

Now that's the sort of recommendation that I want KZbin, thank you!

[@theyolospino2.040]

I'll Have To Say... This Is Phenomenal

[@YouNoub1]

This is the strongest cheetah yet. I mean how is it carrying a camera man on its back???

[@zeeshansayyed6230]

Oh i thought that cheetah could run 5min at top speed but today i learnt that its only 10seconds. Great video

[@kevincastillo3625]

We need more videos like this!!!!

[@MuhammadEgypt]

Great stuff, BBC Earth Unplugged!

[@BingBingBongBong]

Lol I like how while the cheetah is running all you see is a little bit of fur on the bottom hahaha 🐈🐈🐈

[@saturn724]

they're so skilled.. how did they even agree when to attack and which one to attack, without any vocal communication

[@박나그네-y9v]

how did you get the camera back? 카메라 어떻게 수거했어요?

[@markymarco2570]

Amazing how the head remains steady.

[@sarith2658]

Great job.. haven't seen such a video before...

[@2422941]

Amazing goosebumps ... Bbc mindblowing.. wow

[@dariovaz7549]

One of the best videos i have seen in a long time...amazing..

[@stunnamannick6731]

*Great footage* 👍🏽

[@Guurur]

This is mind blowing. Put some more cameras on lions, cheetahs, hyenas

[@sealofapoorval7437]

This is the type of POV that I like

[@Fonthandler]

Would have been even better if we saw it in real time. But still a great video!!! Thnx

[@crazyponygirl]

Mom did a good job at protecting her baby and switch to the left to keep the closest one away from the baby. 👏👍

[@arthurs4964]

Very cool. Would be even more awesome if the prey happened to be wearing a GoPro facing backwards getting the view of the cheetah chasing it.

[@Weeeeeef]

More videos of cheetah like this, more of this PLS 😍😍

[@ScienceByMike]

That was a great shot.

[@qrower]

awesome video

[@brandonholdeman6739]

This was AWESOME.

[@vanilla_badger]

The mom was badass going slow and taking up the rear just to look after the baby, which was their target. She’s the reason the video ended as quickly as it did lol

[@TinkerTailorSoldier1]

Think they got a custom fit elastic head band just got cheetahs made? With a universal go pro mount on top.

[@Bilal_is_joking]

Cheetah be like hey antelope can you stand next to me for a second I need a good thumbnail

[@ellobo1326]

Cool footage !

[@iamhishamowadally_1392]

For a minute I thought i am on the cheetah running🤣🤣

[@ALFirebird]

Holy cow! That was INSANE!!! 😱🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯😵

[@kevinlucero2817]

That’s is amazing ❤️👍 I’ve never seen anything like it

[@occam5123]

Incredible footage.

[@renechimborazo7166]

what they are using to film?

[@Alkamist4Games]

My favorite animal; an incredible perspective!

[@Shailesh97699]

We need more of it,very amazing

[@selendriamuganogo7077]

Wow... That was amazing 👍

[@jodynanci]

that calf made me mad proud son!

[@TheMonsterPool]

Great stuff. I'd like to see it in real-time though.

[@chrisgotvibes]

If only this perspective was left to our own imagination instead of intermittently being cut to commentary. Thank you for this though.

[@s2aguilar197]

Greatest thing I have ever seen

[@2010Blissful]

Next, mount more cameras to cover the rear view and the side views as well. Then, mount on the prey as well to get their angles too. :) :)

[@mrvictorhs1654]

make more and more like this one! ,so cool

[@jbentley-xt8oi]

I've seen alot of nature shows..and they need to get cameras on every animal they have on their shows... Especially PBS's Nature.
