Snow Chick: A Penguin's Tale
This enchanting film follows the adventures of one charismatic emperor penguin from the time he emerges from the egg to the moment he leaves for the sea. Emperor penguins grow up during the winter in one of the coldest places on Earth - the Antarctic. The conditions are harsh and chicks must endure temperatures of minus 60 degrees Celsius and terrifying blizzards. This film follows the trials and tribulations of one adorable fluffy chick - from his first tentative steps on the ice, to getting lost, to hanging out with the other chicks. It also shows the lengths his parents will go to provide food, overcoming huge obstacles, avoiding predators like leopard seals, and enduring freezing conditions. Full of tense and moving moments as well as comedy and character, Snow Chick follows the emperor penguin's life story in a level of detail never attempted before.

Love the intelligence of these birds. To have a strict childminder really displays their thought processes.
This is less of a thought process and more of an evolutionary advantage that became instinctive behaviour.
As far as birds go Penguins aren't on the smart side.
They are also intelligent because they wait until the baby is the human equivalent of a preschooler to leave it with a childminder and it is not for long periods of time.
Animals are waaaay smarter than we give them credit for! 🥰
@@DanielErik weird stretch but okay
@@nickdouglas736 While yes, in a relative sense, humans are more intelligent in terms of abstract thinking, adaptive capabilities, etc., etc., it's not like we can't say the same for us, as the vast majority of our behavior is also based on instinct guided by the 3+ billion base-pair code that is our DNA. Not that you're saying it's not the case.
People like to think otherwise, because the alternative is an uneasy concept, and there's a deeper question of the space "free-will" has, if any, owing to our pervading sense of consciousness, but the evidence is honestly pretty (and perhaps depressingly) overwhelming in terms of showing how much of our behavior, emotions, and yes - even seemingly complex societal or cultural struggles - are just the result of instinctive behaviors due to evolutionary advantages that brought us to being the clearly dominant species and so-called "apex predator" on Earth.
I mean, honestly, sure they're being anthropomorphized quite a bit by the narration, but you can even still see, albeit in a much simpler way, analogs to many social and developmental behaviors of humans in this clip, and they're still a lot more advanced than the majority of species on Earth.
I only met this baby penguin 12 minutes ago in the first clip, but I hope he's doing well. He's so cute!!
he also delicious
@@archmikael812 HOW DARE YOU
@@archmikael812 lmaoo
@@vorpal1586 I prefer honey mustard..
You are one of the lovely people of world
I'm so invested in these clips. The narrator is amazing. Actually, no. The whole team who worked in this are amazing videographer, director, researcher, etc.
the narrator is Kate Winslet 😊
Hehe wow
Agreed.
May I join??
David Attenborough did most of this
i love how the childminder is trying to shield the baby penguin from the petrel, then pecks at the chick to remind him to stay close.
I imagine her with an English accent.
@@NPClownumber81googolplex omg yes 😂 I imagine her with an English accent, almost like Marry Poppins
Isn't this the same baby penguin that got bullied by older chicks, nearly smothered to death by a bunch of penguins and now survived a petril snatching just because he is the smallest? Man this kid is pretty courageous he Is gonna grow up big and brave :) 💕
Bro, that's fax bro
Is that the way it works? I could add beat up by my Dad and much More! No wonder lm so Strong and Brave and have Fybromyalgia and PTSD! 😱
@@bonniebester606 lmao
He's the mc
I tell my son courage has nothing to do with height. He was born early, plus my father and brother aren't very tall so he's to this little penguin.
The thought of having a childminder in a group of birds is already astonishing. Also the childminder is very protective of the baby chick too. Like how did they come to think this way???
Through Evolution! The ones that didn't think this way, died long ago.
Penguins' cultures, traditions and roles have evolved to give better survival chances to their individuals.
Child minder is a younger adult who hasn't bred. This is training for when she has a child of her own.
@@SimOmega47 through God not evolution. God educate them.
From the Lord, they may not be as intelligent as us since we were made in his image, but they aren't dumb either. Clearly able to communicate in their own ways! It's completely amazing to witness! ♥️
@@hatersrmotivators6477 dont say stupid things please.
Dont mind me, just adoring these two chicks talking with each other at 0:22
Two lil besties
I never laughed so hard ever when the penquin just stepped on the chick and slipped and acted like nothing happen LOL. I take a whole 2hr film of just this. I love this.
Ha if you saw the first clip you'd see the baby slip and fall and then the mother almost did the same.
@@strangewayfaringstranger LOL I saw that too - I was cracking up.
You laughed? Seriously, I felt so bad and sad.😢
That shit wasn’t funny
I just watched the full documentary and I am proud to say that at the end he led the whole gang into the ocean!! 🥺
I wanna watch it.. Where do i watch it?
Link plss🥺
Where is it?
Where can I watch the documentary?

As I watched the last three amazing penguin clips, I was just thinking their only enemy may be the blizzard and extreme temperature but they do have a predator too. Yet they have an awesome system and ways to protect themselves and their offsprings! Who knew both parents could go hunting while their dedicated babysitter is a protector?! Almost like humans but these are birds! Incredible. Such intelligent animals!
Unfortunately, now they have to fight and invisible enemy, which is much too powerful for them to overcome: Climate Change. They won't make it; in the next few decades penguins will disappear from the wild.
@@eelsoirdor3573 just shut it please,nothings going to happen
@@eelsoirdor3573 not decades, but probably in the next centuries
Killer whales
It really is amazing, especially when you think of what they go through for this safety. Miles of walking on freezing ice, both on a full and empty stomach! Starving for weeks while feeding the baby! Yeesh, talk about hard working parents!
Poor baby, so tiny...but luckely he is smart! He definitely learned a lesson. I hope he will have a good penguin life!
That "tiny" baby penguin is probably over a foot tall. Emperor penguins are huge.
@@olgakim4848 yes, I know. But for the eye, and compared to the world, predators and other chicks. It's cute, 'tiny'.
He look a lot smaller compared to other chicks 😭
From what I remember watching other clips, it's because the chick was one of the last to hatch, hence slower development compared to other chicks who hatched earlier and had a bigger start ahead of it.
@@miershyk Ohhhhhh. I glad humans don't have to do this
@@KenUghiovhe They do if their baby was born November to January and the parent decides to start their child in school early.
@@AlbertaRose94 Funny.
@@KenUghiovhe My parents made the mistake of starting me early. Let's just say I can *really* relate to this chick and it's difficulty being the youngest and smallest.
The fact that they are upright makes them all the more relatable
Bipedal...
@@Hi-Fitxt
Nitpicky.........
Do you mean physically or morally?
3:59 little dude dipping out like “oh hell nahhh”
4:26 omg this scene its like a teacher standing between you and a school bully.
I was never the victim
I get so much anxiety watching vulnerable baby penguins .
2:37 : "get outa the way stupid child"
😭
2:45 he literally steps on him
4:16 penguin beside the chick: must've been the wind
She was THAT babysitter... can't wait til mom and dad get home 😩 🤣
This is like parents leaving their young ones at school for the very first time and the way the parent penguins are standing next to one and another looks like they’re conversing about their day 😅😅😊 it’s interesting to see these species behaving just like humans would!
Interesting to think they've been doing it for many millions more years than mammals have, let alone humanoids!
These baby penguins are so cute and sweet. It's impressive how vulnerable they are to predation even with parental protection. 😍💕🐧🐧💕🐾
No reason to vomit out an emoji rainbow

So cool how they have designated babysitters. It’s like dropping them off at daycare while the parents go hunting.
1:33 POOR BABY HES SO SMALL
on 2:59 it was so cute when he was shivering awwwww
Little bro has been through a lot at such a young age. Respect
the fact the chick and the childminder kept turning around against the predator was lowkey funny and interesting💗😭🙌
Why are penguins so organized? It's like a whole functional society
I salute to the fathers patient, what a real man 💕
What a cute little guy, learning, to depend on his sitter. How to stay warm and best of all learning which way to face in huddle. They are fun to watch and amazing creatures. Thanks
These animals are super cute and intelligent they even share temperature and help each other, they act just like humans.
This lil baby is so clever.Hope he/she's safe and so well❤🐧
I love how the adult 🐧 protected the chick 🥺🥺💜 i was so scared of him being eaten 🥺🥺 thanks for the video you've made my day 😍
my heart stop when i saw this 2:45
I love how the chick just easily doges the attack at the end ❤
2:07 Noooo Come back!!
No wonder he didn't want to be alone. He was vulnerable to petrels
0:22 is wholesome, its like a shoulder pat like: hey pal!
OMG! Was holding my breath towards the end!! Poor little baby!..
Little penguin’s growing pain. Glad it dodged a predator’s attack and survived!
By looking at this clip you'll realize that the Nature is beautiful
1:21 it's like a year old baby walking around toddlers 😅
Penguins are super beautiful birds!!
That's a school for penguins! How cute
I'll be following this chick on it's perilous journey to adulthood, it's learning so much and fast that when a preditor is angling for it's life, the little fella plays hide and seek to perfection.
2:38 that kick must have hurt😅
2:52 Reminds me of Vbs (vacation bible school)
When your parents would leave you at
church to participate in the fun activities
& there was always a strict Nun who would
boss everyone arounds & scold kids for misbehaving 😂
1:45 love that moment
1st it was the freezing weather,
Then it was the kidnapping
And now escaping their nemesis on land,
Teflon baby🐧 once again getting away from danger.
What's next 🤔😁😁😜
You are giving a wonderful insight in the life of these beautiful animals. Thank you all so much.
Please keep giving us updates on this little dude!🥺🥺
I thought I was going to see a baby penguin and head-to-head combat,but this was wonderful.
Baby penguin is the best 5 part series made ever 😭I am so invested
*Merry Christmas* to all *BBC Earth* employees around the globe! (Did I forget, the *Penguins* Too!)

He’s so spoiled ! I’ve Falling in love with a penguin a baby penguin he is just adorable. I had no idea that the fathers join To help like this that’s a beautiful thing.
When you are too old but still stay at the basement
"It's starting to get embarrassing"
This series makes me question if "happy feet" was documentary and not a movie. also, question if the guy who the wrote the script was actually a penguin.
I love this😍
Thanks BBC, we do appreciate the work behind every shot, every word and Direction.
Looking forward to watch more of these brave work. ❤️
Awwww 1:18, the way they waddle. So cute! I seriously think of Grogu. The little one has a hard time making friends, I know how that goes. I've never really watched this channel that much but these videos i'm totally into. It'd be truly heartbreaking if anything happens to this little one.
I love watching them waddle about it just never gets old. So cute
I know right? They look like fluffy little pears waddling, so cute 😍 🐧❤
I wish I can go to Antarctica and sing love songs to those penguins to thank them for all the joy that brought from watching their antics on UA-cam. 🎶God must have spent a little more time on youuuuu 👉🏽🐧🖤🤍🖤
Precious, Heartwarming adorable creatures!
Why I got invested to this POOR LITTLE PENGU here? She's so cute. Surviving anything to live in this harsh environment 🥺
It showed survival instinct from the very young.
They are adorable
Please upload more of these 🥺🥺 most wholesome content ever
beutiful documentary,a clever guard and a clever chick
Penguins have babysitter?! Wow what a nice evolutionary feat
Thank you for these clips , I’m truly grateful
4:32: It's both adorable and I feel sorry for the little penguin. The big penguin was like: "Don't you dare touch my baby."
The filming is just SUPERB!❤️
Baby penguin sound so cute
mama shows no violence strength to protect her loved one, What an influential character!
The baby penguins are so cute😭
Waiting for the next episode on this cute little adorable baby 😍

I love Penguin they're my favourite animal
Amazing...
It seems that I am observing this beautiful phenomenon by very close.
Amazing.. team work
Crazy how animals and human beings act very much the same.
That's teacher❤
Let's go penguins.
Glory to the penguin overlords!
Like im so amazed at how penguin colonies work. They even got like penguin sitters to look after the chicks while mom and dad are out working (fishing)
I teared up when the predator almost got the chick
Yeah these videos are emotional.
this wonderful Docu. touched my Heart!💖
Omg,I laughed at him trying to get back in.
BBC really stepped up their game.
Petrel be like: "No Adelie to save you this time little penguin!"
This baby penguin showed how my baby sister ran when she tried to escape from our grasp. Same body shape and same short bursts of energy. It's too cute. She used to get her kicks from being chased. 😂😂❤❤
I'm just relieved that this cute little fluff ball was safe.
narrator: The petrel always picks on the smallest.
me: That's a bully and a coward.
I was waiting for the childminder to stomp on the bird lmao
Why baby chick's are so adorable ? 😍 Feeling like kissing and hugging them very tightly........
Can't control myself seeing their cuteness.
everyone's harrassin that damn penguin
0:49 Common scene in the supermarket.
5:05 ...were those scraps another baby chick? 😮
Penguin Shit
Could also possibly be from seals or sealions.
I love penguins they’re the cutest
