Fantastic Feeding, Weird Nature, BBC Documentary Series, Episode 3
Discover a creature that employs glueguns as weapons, a fish that slashes with a chainsaw and a spider that lassos its prey with a swinging blob of glue. This exploration of strange animal behaviour reveals the many inventive ways animals catch prey. Meet a fish that targets its prey using its mouth as a waterpistol, a shrimp that stuns its prey with sound and a lemur with an ETlike finger that taps for a meal. There is also a frogfish whose mouth moves faster than its prey can see, a snake with a tail that acts as a maggotlike lure, and an eagle that has found a novel way to break into its meal. There is even a mantis shrimp with a knockout punch that reaches the speed of a bullet, and a stoat that uses hypnosis.
