Blue whales are on the brink of extinction. Despite being the biggest animals to ever exist on Earth, they remain a mystery. To protect them, we first need to understand them better.
In our 14th Planet Wild mission, we’re using drones to drop camera robots on whales. Our goal is to find out what a day in the life of a blue whale looks like.
Special thanks to Cascadia Research for providing us with additional footage, taken under NOAA permit to John Calambokidis.

You guys shouldn’t post where the birthing location of animals are that’s how they go extinct by poacher they find the birth spot and start killing off populations
What you guys do it absolutely amazing!
THANK YOU 🙏🏻
I have a question are you able to join if your under 18?
WHERE ARE THE VIDEOS FROM THE BALENA !!!!!!!!!! YOU MONEY MILINKG ORGANISATION
I love that the camera is attached with suction cups❣️ No barbaric fin piercing or anything like that! I get that these cameras send live feeds, but how do you recover them after they fall off?
Imagine the world run by scientists not politicians
Scientists are funded by politicians... most of them are bought
My husband did, with the d&d world he created. Its just as much of a mess as ours, but with more fancy tech.
I love it, that the names of the backers are getting smaller and smaller at the end of your videos, as it means our community is growing!
This time I had tears in my eyes with the hope to get this majestic animals the help they need.
Thank you so much for being a part of our mission and our community! It's our community who are making the real difference regardless where they live. Together we can make a real positive change for our Planet 💙🙏
Same here. I got a bit emotional at the end. Such an amazing endeavour. I hope you You guys properly celebrated once you got on shore! 🥂 🍻
Yes. Those projects are inportant, but it is also important to mention the first priority for everyone should be climate change, because that is why the food chain is disturbed and may get broken down completely someday. We all have the power to change the environment with our impact :)
@@solidagold115you absolutely don’t and can’t have the impact you believe.
Climate change is something the earth does and has done since it first evolved, changing over and over, wiping out species and starting all over again, you can’t stop climate change, the world will continue to change over and over and no amount of money thrown at it will change that.
It’s inevitable.
Such an amazing project again! 👏🐳 Happy to be part of it! 💚
Thanks a bunch for being a supporter of our mission! We're so glad to have you as a part of our community 💙🐋
It's so wonderful to be part of this Community ❤
When somebody is feeling helpless while facing so many bad news, you provide an extremely good solution for those people, who want to do something against this prevailing apathy in this world. Supporting you awesome guys MAKES THE DIFFERENCE and everybody's invited to be part of it. Keep on doin' your fantastic and important job! Our beautiful planet is worth fighting for 👍
Thanks a bunch Daniels, for your kind words and supporting our mission! 💙 It means a lot to us to get this kind of feedback. We're so glad to have you as a part of our Planet Wild community. Here's more amazing missions with greater positive impacts 🙌
All of your work is so impactful, love to see real change

I can now say I'm suporting cutting edge whale research. 😊
Thank you plantet wild team for this great mission.
Indeed you can! 😁 Thanks so much for contributing in our mission and being a part of our community 💙🙏
Awesome mission as always. Great job Planet Wild 👍
Thanks so much for the support and appreciation! 🐋
It is so neat to see Joe collaborate with Planet Wild. When it comes to whale research, it's good to BE SMART!
Of course! 😁 Happy to hear you enjoyed the mission, thank you! 🐋
What a cool mission! I absolutely admire what you guys are doing. It’s so inspiring and heartwarming to know that we can contribute to such cool projects by being Planet Wild backers. Proud to be one and can’t wait for the next mission.
Thank you so much for the kind words and being a part of our missions! These positive feedbacks motivate us even more. We're happy to have you as a part of our Planet Wild community 💙🙏
Awesome collaborations. I've learned so much from Joe Hansen's channels. Planet wild deserves so much more attention!
Glad to hear you enjoyed our mission video! We're happy to have you on our channel 💙
Thank you! This was an incredible project to be a part of
@besmart Thank you so much, Joe, for joining us on our mission. It’s been an incredible experience to work together on this! Looking forward to more future collaborations 🙌
This is my favorite mission so far. I remember when we heard the whale songs for the first time it was incredible. I really do believe that that recording inspired the Star Trek movie " The Voyage Home" where they go back in time to bring back two Humpback Whales to save Earth from being destroyed by an alien probe. I know different species of whales but the whole point of the movie was that we have to protect all animal life because the loss of one species of animal could bring on the destruction of all life on Earth including mankind. This is one of the reasons I am glad to contribute monthly to our missions. I just wish I had been there from the beginning.
I haven’t seen that Star Trek movie but I hope that supporting Planet Wild will avoid us to have to go back to the past to save the whales
I still think it is such a fun and well made movie to watch.
@dianapulido1807 We truly appreciate the support and being a constant backer on our missions, thank you so much! Your kind words and positive feedbacks motivate us even more. We're proud to have you as a part of our Planet Wild community 💙🙏

Thanks for the inspiration. I also deleted my Netflix subscription now.
5:12 Love how the wake of the boat looks like a whale tale. I also can’t believe how much whaling took place. It’s shocking to think about. Here’s to a strong and steady recovery for our cetacean, sapient neighbors. Planet Wild, I’ve seen you guys since the mission of the Little Owl. I can’t believe you’ve made it this far! Keep going!! 💪
We truly appreciate all the support and encouragement, thanks so much! We're so glad to have you on board 💙🙏
I must say I didn't expect to see joe Hanson here. Very pleasantly suprised. 😊
We had an incredible experience working with Joe. Delighted to hear you liked our mission as well, much appreciated! 💙🐋
Look at Planet Wild man! So Inspirational.
Delighted to hear you found our mission inspiring, thank you so much! 💙🐋
This kind of things gives you faith in humanity
Thank you so much for the kind words! Really happy to hear our mission connects with you 💙
very cool and innovative mission. i hope there will be a follow up video for ever mission❤
We definitely plan to report the results in 1 year! Consider subscribing to our channel and stay tuned with us 💙🐋
we get so see any material from the depoley camera ?
Yes, you can see some early footage from the whale camera at 3:32. We'll make sure to post more footage as soon as it is available 💙🐋
Nice Mission👍🏽Thank you for your work🙏🏾
We truly appreciate the support, thanks! 💙🐋
Amazing footage! It’s incredible to see how technology like drones can be used for conservation and study of these majestic creatures without disturbing their natural behavior. Great work Planet Wild!
Thanks for supporting our efforts! Really happy to hear our mission resonates with you 💙🐋
Truly inspiring to watch this innovative approach to studying blue whales! Using drones ensures the safety of both the researchers and these gentle giants. Fantastic video Planet Wild!
Thanks for the support and appreciation! Really happy to hear you found our mission inspiring 💙🐋
Very cool! I hope one day we can help bring their populations back up to even half of what they originally were.
When I was a kid, a record of humpback whale songs was in a box of cereal & I was captivated! I watched every Cousteau episode on TV & daydreamed about a career in marine biology. Unfortunately for a multitude of reasons that never happened, but at the age of 55 I did get to swim with 3 dolphins all by myself for 30 minutes in the Florida Keys & it was worth every single penny. ☺️ I live vicariously through YT videos like this & it brings me joy!
That's absolutely awesome to hear about this experience! Glad to hear you enjoyed our mission. We're happy to have you on our channel 💙
Manchmal hat moderne Technik auch Vorteile. Weniger Stress und Gefahr. Coole Aktion!👍
Vielen Dank für die Unterstützung! 💙🐋
The missions are getting bigger and bigger every time 🤩 This is so amazing and exciting 🙌 👏👏👏💖💖✨🐋✨💖💖
Thanks Shristi for acknowledging our efforts! We're so glad to have you on board 💙🙏
This is marvellous, I am very pleased it went so well for everyone. Thank you Planet Wild and others for planning and executing this difficult and delicate operation. Also huge thanks to the whale for helping with this research!
Thanks so much Audrey for the support and kind words! It means a lot to us to get such feedbacks. We're so glad to have you on board 💙🐋
Actually insane , can not wait for future videos of whale POVs
You can see some early footage from the whale camera at 3:32. We'll make sure to post more footage as soon as it is available. Stay tuned with us 💙🐋
This is amazing!!
It is so inspiring to see people do such wonderful things to help the nuture and our planet!
Really happy to hear you found our mission inspiring, thanks a bunch! 💙🐋
This is incredible. Very well done! I am super proud to be part if this community! 🐳
Question: is there any chance that existing members with annual memberships can also take part in the draw for the whale sound recordings? 😊
Good point, thanks for bringing this up! We'll discuss with the team how we can include existing members. Keep an eye out for updates on our Discord #home channel 💙🙏
This is an amazing initiative, and the open-sourcing is the cherry on top! Great to see Joe here too!
Incidentally, there's a wonderful interview with Roger Payne on the Ben Folds podcast of all places! It's the final episode of his show and ends it on a beautiful note (no pun intended 😅)
Blue whales are a crazy interesting species, but personally I'm even more interested in one of there predators: Orcas
Amazing project, thank you to everyone involved.
Thanks for the support and appreciating our efforts in our mission! 💙
so crazy seeing the footage from the drone towards the end. Really put in perspective how huge the blue whale is.
Indeed it is! Imagine a Boeing 737 living underwater 🐋🤯
Such a great mission!
Your support is much appreciated, thank you! 💙
Thanks🥰
💙🐋
This is the first project that as a member, I guess I have the privilege of being part of. Thank you Dani Connor Wild for getting me involved.
That's awesome! Thank you so much for contributing to our mission. We're happy to have you as a part of our Planet Wild community 💙🐋
yoooo you got joe hanson?! thats the collab I didnt know I wanted to see! love it :)
We also had an incredible experience working with Joe. We look forward to more amazing future collaborations 💙🐋
Our ability to cause damage without any care for the consequences is always so depressing to me. People like y'all help me not completely loose hope. Actually doing real things that make a difference! So inspiring, thank you!
We're so glad to hear you found our mission inspiring! Thanks a bunch for constantly supporting our efforts in our missions 💙🙏
Our compassion and empathy for whales in the ocean is pretty much universal. I wish we could apply this very same compassion and empathy to our own species on the planet❤
Wow, such an inspiring work. Love it 🐳
Really happy to hear you found our mission inspiring, much appreciated! 💙🐋
You guys work always cease to amaze me it’s very nice to know that a team like yours exist to help the world 🌎 ❤become a better place❤❤ ❤
Thanks so much for your kind words! It means a lot to us to get this kind of feedback. We're happy to have you on our channel 💙🙏
Dang, i saw this right when uploaded this is sick.
Awesome! Thanks for the support 💙🐋
@@planet-wild oh wow thanks for replying.
Awesome project!
Thanks for the support! 💙
Great work! 🎉
Thanks for the feedback! 💙🐋
This mission is great and so important!
I would love to see more of the behind the scenes (videos), how you decide on what projects to support and your research in general. There's so much work and dedication in your projects! ❤
Thanks so much for the support! 💚 We’re more than happy to provide you with more info on the vetting and selection of our missions.
For the selection and vetting of all of our projects, we’re working closely with the sustainability consultancy Amsel & Ara amsel-ara.com/ on a day to day basis. They have a team combining a broad range of scientific sustainability skills, e.g. nature conservationists, biologists and forest experts, to ensure a thorough due-diligence process of all our projects to rule out problems and ensure long-lasting mission success.
Once a new project is identified in a collaboration with Amsel & Ara, it's then vetted in a multi-step process. All of our projects must meet the highest quality standards and must provide full transparency over how they allocate their funding. More on this can be read in our blog article: planetwild.com/blog/heres-how-were-selecting-our-projects
@@planet-wild Thank you so much for your response! I didn't expect such a detailed answer, but I am thankful that you did take your time to describe the process! You really do a great job and I am more than happy to be a member of your community! 🥰❤
We're equally happy to have you as a part of our Planet Wild community! 💚🙏
Amazing work!!! So excited to see the results...
We are also looking forward to seeing the results of this work and reporting back to the community! 💙🐋
The video is giving a lot of hope. I would enjoy longer videos as well. It seem that there is a lot of footage, that is not making it into the videos.
Thanks for the feedback! Glad to hear you enjoyed our mission 💙
Keep up the great work!
Thanks for rooting for us! 💙🐋
I just love the work you guys do!
Thanks a bunch for acknowledging our efforts in our mission! 💙🐋
Wow! You guys are amazing! Unbelievable! Great job!!!! I love the awesome blue whale! And manta rays too. They’re beautiful and majestic!
Big thanks from us for appreciating our efforts, thank you! 💙🐋
Great work!
Thanks for the support! 💙
What amazing and niche project ideas Planet Wild finds. Lovely video editing and brilliant work.
Woah!! Didn't expect joe to be here! I love this mission, keep it up :))
We also had an incredible experience working with Joe! Glad to hear our mission connects with you, much appreciated 💙🐋
Keep up the good work! ❤
We truly appreciate the encouraging words, thank you! 💙🐋
Isn't he from Be Smart
You guys need to team up with Mossy Earth. Both are doing very similar project based initiatives
We love Mossy and are in contact. Maybe we‘ll make it happen some day 💙
🐋💙🌊 Joe did a great Job 🔥
Indeed, he did an awesome job! 💙
Great!
Thanks! 💙🐋
You rock!!
💙🐋
Impressive ❤
Thanks for the support! 💙🐋
Is it really held on with just suction cups?
Yes - and they have a mechanism to auto-release after a pre-defined period of time.
Yes, these tiny tags stick on via suction cups, tracking these majestic creatures (typically for 24 hours) before floating to the surface for collection by researchers! The best part is, the whales don't even notice them💙🐋
I came here from joe and I instantly fell in love for what you're doing for the world! Unfortunately I can't donate as I am a minor but when I become a fully grown adult I will certainly donate! Love what you're doing! 💙🐳
Awesome video! Can't wait to see what's next for whale research.
Comments from my 3 year old daughter who watched with fascination:
"i like the whale! It's so big! I also like people who help the whale. Because life can be dangerous for them"
"Yipee! They did it!" (As camera landed)
That's so cute! 😍 We are also looking forward to seeing the results of this work and reporting back to the community in 1 year! 💙🐋
Blue whale, a few months later: Hey Jim, hey, can you take a look, is there a louse on my back or something?
😅😅 But these tags have a mechanism to auto-release after a pre-defined period of time. The best part is, the whales don't even notice them. 🐋
Nice video. Thanks for your work.
We truly appreciate the support, thanks so much! 💙
*support*
We truly appreciate the support, thanks! 💙🐋
I remember as a child playing those discs and hearing whales songs for the first time-it was fascinating. Thanks for another exciting episode!
That's incredible! Glad to hear you enjoyed our mission, much appreciated 💙🐋
Are you able to recover the camera if it gets knocked off? Do you have a live stream video of the feed?
How are those suction cups able to stick from a drop and with the force of the water on them?
The drone operator uses height to make sure the tag to stick. Once the device is in place, the pressure induced by the whale's dive ensures the tag is secured. 🐋
Cool.
Thanks! 💙
I just randomly looked up blue whales on UA-cam cuz I wanted to learn about them but I’m so glad I stumbled upon this, thank you guys for looking out for the whales!💪🏼
Thank you so much for the kind words and support! We're happy you found your way to our channel 💙🐋
I love that the camera is attached with suction cups❣️ No barbaric fin piercing or anything like that! I get that these cameras send live feeds, but how do you recover them after they fall off?
feel like im gettin in on the ground floor of something historic with this channel
I didn't know they were that big! ❤
💙🐋
What an amazing collaboration! We can't wait to hear more about this project in the future.
We are also looking forward to seeing the results of this work and reporting back to the community! 💙🐋
It's okay to be a conservationist
😅
I see what you did there 🤓
@PalaeoJoe Couldn't agree more! 😍💙
I am sure that we know more about outer space than we do about our oceans. I also wonder why we are seeking intelligent life in space, instead of trying to communicate with the intelligent life already here on earth. I have had the privilege to see blue whales and am so happy to be helping us learn about them and thus help them, even if I am but a tiny part of the whole operation. I too, had tears in my eyes. ❤
Thank you so much for the support and being a part of our mission! We're happy to have you as a part of our Planet Wild community 💙🐋
Commenting so more people see this
Your support is much appreciated, thanks! 💙
Got goosebumps when thie camera landed 😍
Ask Paul Watson for additional statistics 😉
Amazing well done and thanks for all you are doing
I cannot believe that those suction cups worked….nice job!
I love Joe Hason, I've been watching his content for years, can't believe you made a video with him. Absolutely love it!
Yeah, we are huge fans of his work, too. Loved working with him on this mission 🐋
I had the whale songs record from NatGeo when i was a kid. It was floppy and square, like it was an actual page from the magazine. Perhaps it was, i was too young to remember, but i do remember listening to it a lot.
This is incredible. Keep up the great work! God bless.
I think it’s finally time for me to subscribe. I’ve been following for long and I’ve never had the last little push to go to the website and make the support happen
Thank you so much for supporting our efforts! We're glad to see you as a part of our Planet Wild community 💙🙏
Nice unintrusive method! Really great project!
Do we gone see wale video?
Yes, you can see some early footage from the whale camera at 3:32. We'll make sure to post more footage as soon as it is available 💙🐋
Thanks for 2 seconds of footage
For real lol. They showed it dive under for like 2 seconds
@@gdubb0409 haha
WOW!!! Incredible footage...so monumentally astoundingly stunning!! This is such an important advancement on monitoring whales, as it is not intrusive to the animal, not only stressing them far less than currently is the case, but giving much more information than we've been able to get, as their normal behavior is maintained as well as safety for all involved. I'm thrilled with this improvement!!!!! *All hail drones for science!!*
Really happy to hear you enjoyed our mission, thank you! 💙🐋
Wow amazing work much love from UK 🇬🇧 xxxxxxxx
Thanks for the love and support! 💙
I love whales and delfins and belugas.
