Description:
Alien Planet is a special on Discovery Channel about two internationally built robot probes investigating alien life forms on the fictional planet "Darwin IV". As usual, I put here my favorites creatures of this strange and weird (for us) world.An interstellar spacecraft named "Von Braun", leaves Earth's orbit, and travels at 20% the speed of light for reaches Darwin IV in 42 years. Upon reaching orbit, it deploys the "Darwin Reconnaissance Orbiter", which looks for potential landing sites for the probes. Two probes, Leonardo da Vinci (nicknamed 'Leo') and Isaac Newton (nicknamed 'Ike'), successfully land on the planet, and learn much about its bizarre natives lifeforms.- Creatures shown in the video -Arrowtongue - The 2,5 m high creature uses a sonar system to terrify prey. Is called this way due to a retractable appendage on its mouth that can attack prey, piercing the victim and injecting digestive juices into it. The insides of the prey are then turned to liquid, which it uses its 8 m long appendage to suck out as food. Daggerwrist - Daggerwrists are 1,8m long aggressive, gliding aliens which live in the pocket forests of Darwin IV. It is built in a manner that is similar to a leopard, but is faster and can glide. It preys on Trunk Suckers, mainly to consume the sap they have digested first. The Daggerwrist has two big claws, which are used as weapons and for climbing. They sink so deep into trees that the sap bleeds to the surface, which in turn attract the trunk suckers.Trunk sucker - roughly 1 meter Trunk Suckers are relatively small, delicate creatures that are capable of gliding long distances. They feed on the tree sap from the Plaque-bark Tree, which is brought to the surface by Daggerwrists´ claws. Trunk Suckers use sharp claws to attach themselves to trees while feeding. They fly in small groups, rather like birds on Earth. Skewer - My favorites! Skewers are huge jet-like predators that hunt using sonar, with a 15 meters wingspan, they hunt in small packs, using a lance built in its head. It uses this to disembowel prey and suck out its juices. Skewers maneuver by changing the shape of its wingspan. It propels itself by internally creating methane gas and then igniting it inside four pods, similar to those on modern-day jet-propelled aircraft. Groveback - Grovebacks are gigantic aliens that are two-legged but have a rudder-like leg they use for balance, that is dragged along behind them. They have around 15-18 meters high and a semi-circle shaped head and two enormous nostrils. The Grovebacks bury themselves for long periods of time to feed on the nutrients in the soil. They have saplings growing on their back, which inject sugars into the creature. The Groveback gives the trees water in return.Emperor Sea Strider - with 23 meters high, Sea Striders are the largest creatures ever, both on Darwin IV and Earth. They walk over the Amoebic Sea on which they feed by taking parts of it with them on their sucker-like feet. The Striders have tentacles hanging from their face and large glowing holes in their head. The nymph-like young orbit the adult Striders and are attracted to these holes.Text edited from wikipedia.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien_PlanetMusic: The Corrs - Silver StrandImages and music copyright of their respective owners.

May 24, 2012 - I'm always impressed about how much people who invent aliens have a lack of imagination... Worst, they just have to take a look in an invertebrate zoological book to find animals which look so much stranger to us than this. Actually they even don't need imagination to find something original since so few people do that. All creatures here are mostly inspired by vertebrates (even tétrapods)... There is so much different shapes in nature that something with a backbone and legs...

May 24, 2012 - demons dress in fake human skin and fly in ufo ships. there are no aliens, only demons. nobody lives on other planets. demons will invite people to be healed in their ufo ships. whoever goes in to be healed, will come out spiritual zombie destined for hell. demons have 4 ufo bases: moon, inside the fake mountain kailas in tibet, underneath mariana trench in pacific ocean (atlantis is here), and in lake baikal in russia.

May 24, 2012 - well expect the emperor sea strider to me it looks like one of those armored straight nautoloids from about 400 million years ago in Ordovician period.

May 24, 2012 - want to know what is cooler than believing in aliens? probability in the universe dictates that it is physically impossible for aliens to not exist. they do exist but its just a matter of where. dont believe. know :)

May 26, 2012 - a good portion of the reason i come here is the sound quality is 10x better than their video. But your video is outstanding as well and goes so well with the music.

MrPhuctard Says:
May 28, 2012 - This is just such a stupid pretense. There is not one shred of hard evidence that life exisists on other worlds. It wont be for 1000's of years before the technology exisits, If we havent ruined this planet and killed ourselves, that will allow us to travel to these worlds which are unimaginably far away.So you star trek geeks just keep buying into this Bullshit and keep dreaming.. This world is ALL we have and all we will ever have.. There isnt ANY chance it will happen
