@MidnightSerena Yep

@MidnightSerena that was horrifying

Yep

I hate to tell you that the wood duck nestlings aren't out of the woods, so to speak, once they hit the water. They face all kinds of perils out there, from snapping turtles and other large aquatic turtles to fish like largemouth bass to bullfrogs to species of aquatic snakes, as well as avian predators like wading birds, crows, and gulls who would love to have them for dinner, and often do. And they may get separated from the female by all sorts of factors including human disturbance - people out on boats who don't show appropriate respect and let the brood of wood ducks all swim by before they proceed. I object to the human interference but the rest is part of natural food webs. That's why the females lay 10 to 15 eggs. It may sound cold, but that's biology. And it's an example of evolution by natural selection: only those ducklings who are fast enough and smart enough to stick with the female to the extent possible and evade sorts of predators will live to reproduce and pass on their genes to another generation of Wood Ducks.

Just a Potato wood ducks jump 30ft into water Artic goslings: hold my artic grass

How do they know that 30 feet under them , is a soft material safe to jump into , they just came out of the eggs , how do they know what is water at all ! , the only answer is instinct

Barnacle goose:Hold my wing

@@manooch The mother selects the nest location above water.

Bro I lost my soul Everytime the goslings hit rocks.

God. I watched this one right after the goose one and I was about to shit myself at the "failure to launch" line

Noah 'VintageWeedKiller' OMG YESSS!!! I just saw that one too...now I feel bad for saying my life is tough

You mean the video from National Geographic channel ? Those are barnacle artic baby geese, not wood ducklings. I'm still feeling sad every time remembering that.

Still sad from that

Noah 'VintageWeedKiller' Me too

Thay jumping is so traumatizing. They just drop and drop and drop and drop.

I know! My heart keeps bearing faster everytime the chick hits the rock 😭

definetly

Yea😅

Ikr 😌

Slick Fur add *not on soft or splashy spot* at artic geese

Slick Fur I seen that one mans they was surrounded by all rocks not water

Slick Fur I think you mean barnacle gosling not snow goosling

Yep, im from that video too. Only 50% survives. And they leap from a very tall tall mountain rock. And lands on rocky surfaces

@@chenalindelossantos967 yeahh i saw a leap of 200 ft of a cliff!!! The baby chicks landed in pure rock and survived and i was like 😨😨😨 are they aliens or what!

GuyCalledSean Showed my friend that video and she screamed in abject horror.

GuyCalledSean barnacle goose actually

Braaah

Arctic gosling, son of Ryan Gosling

Me too😭

Shaquille Oatmeal SAME😭😭😭

At least it live

Not me

Because we did 🤣

We did

Bangbabangbabangbang yea this video appeared directly after the 400ft cliff jumping one.

Yes its a miracle

Lol, that's the last video I watched.

These are ducks not gooses

Same

Same here...

Bro same just watched that

⁰⁰⁰0⁰

Haha same here

🤣

Me also 👍

If arctic geese made their homes on a 30ft wood.... the gooslings wouldn't even make it out of their eggs, because of the predators

@@smirkfanta5535 the predators must really love artic geese meet, why no predator attack these 30ft ducklings

@@Biobele actually many reasons 1. Both of them exist in different regions. Different regions mean different predators. I believe the predators of the duckling region may not be birds or some creature that can fly high. 2. They were well hidden. They were hidden in a hole but the geeslings were exposed on top of a nest. Fortunate for them, they were present on a 400ft rock where no predators can reach and not on a short tree.

Crocs for ducklings

@@smirkfanta5535 they can fly so they can migrate, if their fear was flying creatures I'm sure 400ft open exposed nest will not stop those flying creatures like it didn't, they could have flown to deserted islands, dug holes, made nest on steep slopes or sides of mountains, in or on trees other creatures cannot access or rocks other creatures can not walk on like most other birds do. Instead of let the chicks drop 400ft they could have carried them on their beak or broken their fall by flying towards them and tossing them in the air a couple times and also once the jump is made one of the two parent bird should already be on the ground waiting to protect the chick those geese are just dumb parents that's all

Just goes to show how easily emotions can be manipulated and misplaced.

@@theusher2893 and your insinuation being what exactly?

I thought the exact same thing

ummmmm um

xXCocoaXx xXCacaoXx uhmmm spoilers

Watch arctic gooses

@@MadBugsxxx I was gonna comment thay

Go watch 400ft drops on the rocks and you'll be amazed by their dare to.

Also arctic duckling: *dies*

Nope.. Hold my wings !

70th

Exactly! Not a one single panning shot of full drop.

Ameeen

Is it main problem ? Question should this ; how these chicks know what to do now suddenly adopt everything they came the world and they know everything... i dont even talked about artic chick they even know parachuting ... everything is like what Quran says.. recommending the read suretun "Nahl" u ll be shocked.. we are belong to Allah and we will return to Him..

She fit hereself, the evidence is convincing or those ducklings were all drawings.

@@kezalik thats what we call instinct.

No, we are not…..

And so soft with their baby down.

😂😁😀😂😁😀

Hahahahahaaaaaa

Thanks so much for
