This giant fish that gulps down birds is the stuff nightmares are made of

You're scary, nature.

As we learned while watching Planet Earth II, nature is a horrible, terrifying place packed full to the brim with creatures desperate to devour each other.

Well, good news: Blue Planet II is coming out soon, which means there'll be even more where that came from.

The BBC tweeted the following clip on Thursday, and we wonder if it'll set the tone for the series:

That large, hungry fish is called a Giant Trevally.

His hobbies include swimming, sunbathing, and leaping out of the water to scoop up Arctic terns in his giant, gaping chops.

Why do you do this to us, David Attenborough?
