Revolting Nature Cafe
European Starling uncannily mimicking a human voice, and then a non-human character from a famous movie.
This snake looks like a robot.
Cheetah running at full speed.
A cheetah (or a leopard) chases down a warthog, and then the warthog decides, Eff this, I'm going to chase you, you son of a bee.
I usually don't link animals killing other animals but I think it's okay if it's an alligator getting killed. (Right?) Here a jaguar goes into the water and just murks a (young) gator.
On the other hand, here's an alligator ripping apart a truck. (Or at least the wheelwell of a truck.)
Giving a sammich to a bear.
This video shows a tarantula shedding its skin. You might think that wouldn't be particularly gross and weird -- at least not much grosser and weirder than a tarantula normally is, just being itself -- but believe me, the tarantula finds a way to be grosser and weirder than usual. This is really a demonstration of the the old maxim of science, "Nature is fucking disgusting."
Speaking of: Big black eels swarming a beach are disgusting too.
More gross eels.
Demonstration of coagulating snake venom on the blood. I can see how this would be a problem.
I've linked a shorter clip of this before. But it's so crazy.
It's a marine iguana.
