Hunting and Escaping

1990Tv EpisodeS1 E4

This episode looks at those that hunt other creatures and ways of avoiding capture. Attenborough is attacked by a pair of skuas as he approaches their nest, which demonstrates this particular bird's aggressive behaviour, both when taking food and defending its young. Off the shores of Patagonia, the same group of killer whales returns each year to ambush sea lion pups, which stray out of the safer shallow waters. Having grabbed their prey, they take it back out to sea and 'play' with it for some time before killing it. Poison can be used both as a weapon and a deterrent, such as by the viper and tomato frog respectively. Some animals advertise their defensive measures in advance, in case deployment occurs too late. Among them are the skunk, which discharges an appalling smell, and some salamanders that display their toxicity by remaining stationary, with their warning markings visible. Several species of stick insect and their elaborate camouflage are shown. However, none of these methods of protection pose problems to army ants, which can subdue any of their prey, simply by virtue of their size and vast numbers. The Harris hawk is unusual, since it hunts in teams, and a group of six are shown practising their skill in the desert of New Mexico. The final sequence depicts a troop of chimpanzees displaying strategy and co-ordination as it successfully pursues colobus monkeys through a forest in the Ivory Coast.

50 cues

#100:01:07,247 --> 00:01:09,966
(L0W-PITCHED CRIES)
#200:01:39,207 --> 00:01:42,404
These great skuas...
#300:01:43,087 --> 00:01:45,555
bonxies here in Shetland,
#400:01:45,727 --> 00:01:49,515
are among the most aggressive and ferocious of birds.
#500:01:51,287 --> 00:01:53,403
They're attacking me now
#600:01:53,567 --> 00:01:57,355
because I'm approaching one of their nests where there are chicks,
#700:01:57,527 --> 00:02:03,238
but they are pirates that will rob other birds of their food actually in the air
#800:02:03,407 --> 00:02:07,036
and they are also extremely skilful hunters.
#900:02:07,207 --> 00:02:09,198
They're killers.
#1000:02:16,007 --> 00:02:21,127
Their hungry chicks waiting in the nest for food make them specially determined
#1100:02:21,287 --> 00:02:26,361
and they seek their prey in the huge colony of seabirds nesting on the cliffs nearby.
#1200:02:35,447 --> 00:02:40,396
Few creatures are not all their lives caught up in duels between hunters and hunted
#1300:02:40,567 --> 00:02:43,035
like these being fought out here,
#1400:02:43,207 --> 00:02:47,723
duels that have shaped their bodies and govern their daily behaviour.
#1500:02:49,727 --> 00:02:53,242
The skua's tactic is to cruise so close to the cliff
#1600:02:53,407 --> 00:02:58,401
that the kittiwake parents are frightened off their nests, leaving the chicks unprotected.
#1700:03:00,407 --> 00:03:03,205
The kittiwake chicks are almost full-grown
#1800:03:03,367 --> 00:03:06,518
and the skuas want them to feed to THEIR young.
#1900:03:34,767 --> 00:03:37,281
(AGITATED SCREECHING)
#2000:03:56,207 --> 00:03:59,995
That bird actually caught an adult kittiwake in mid-air.
#2100:04:17,887 --> 00:04:20,276
The skuas go first for the liver.
#2200:04:20,447 --> 00:04:25,123
With crops stuffed full, they will be able to feed their chicks today.
#2300:04:33,367 --> 00:04:37,599
Many different kinds of birds, having spent most of the year out at sea,
#2400:04:37,767 --> 00:04:40,281
come to these cliffs in the spring to nest.
#2500:04:40,447 --> 00:04:42,915
Each has its own favoured territory.
#2600:04:43,087 --> 00:04:47,524
In parts where there is turf and soil, puffins dig their nest holes.
#2700:04:48,327 --> 00:04:51,046
Sitting beside them, they're relatively safe,
#2800:04:51,207 --> 00:04:55,519
for if danger threatens, they can duck inside their hole.
#2900:04:57,127 --> 00:05:00,961
It's when they're in the air that they're really vulnerable.
#3000:05:04,327 --> 00:05:07,717
Here the greater black-backed gull is on patrol.
#3100:05:07,887 --> 00:05:12,915
It's a huge bird, substantially bigger than the lesser black-back.
#3200:05:16,327 --> 00:05:19,399
It has a wingspan of over five feet
#3300:05:19,567 --> 00:05:22,843
and the manoeuvrability of a fighter aircraft.
#3400:05:23,807 --> 00:05:27,880
The puffins, whose wings and feet also serve in swimming and diving,
#3500:05:28,047 --> 00:05:30,959
are much less agile in the air.
#3600:05:54,327 --> 00:05:59,401
Flying in flocks reduces an individual's risk, but that's not always possible.
#3700:07:20,967 --> 00:07:26,439
With the puffin almost swallowed, the gull has at last got a meal.
#3800:07:33,447 --> 00:07:35,438
0r has it?
#3900:07:46,847 --> 00:07:49,680
The murdering robber has been robbed.
#4000:07:56,727 --> 00:08:00,242
There are other animals which spend most of their life at sea,
#4100:08:00,407 --> 00:08:05,037
but come to land for a few weeks each year: seals and sea lions.
#4200:08:12,167 --> 00:08:16,524
These are South American sea lions off the coast of Patagonia.
#4300:08:16,687 --> 00:08:21,158
They can't give birth while they're swimming as whales and dolphins do.
#4400:08:21,327 --> 00:08:23,636
Instead, they have to come ashore,
#4500:08:23,807 --> 00:08:28,358
and here, in dense groups, moving awkwardly between land and sea,
#4600:08:28,527 --> 00:08:32,884
they're a great temptation to any hunter that can reach them.
#4700:08:36,367 --> 00:08:38,676
Their nursery beach seems secure.
#4800:08:38,847 --> 00:08:41,156
The landward side has steep cliffs.
#4900:08:41,327 --> 00:08:44,842
0n the other side the beach is protected by the sea.
#5000:08:45,007 --> 00:08:48,079
But the sea itself can harbour enemies.
