Beluga Whales are everything people thought Dolphins to be. 100% intelligence with no malicious intent or gang violence
100% pure dopamine
Yeah..👍
Indeed 👍
And they sound like doors
Gang violence😂😂
The humpback harassing the orcas for 6 hours even after they saved the calf is top tier pettiness and I'm here for it
"Bitch, where are you going? I thought you wanted a fight? Fights right here bro. Not so tough now are you."

During his college years my uncle was a security guard on night shift at the Pittsburgh Zoo when Jinx the orangutan was there - this fellow was so smart that he used to unlock his own cage every night and go for a walk to look at the other animals. Eventually it became a routine where, once my uncle found him, he would hand Jinx a coffee cup with his name on it, and they would drink a cup of (decaf) coffee and then Jinx would head back home. My uncle still talks about his buddy all the time, however many decades later.

@ThisGuy-wr2yh does itnmatter if it's real? Choose to believe, and you'll have gained a story that leaves you with warm fuzziness, and lost nothing.
@@KpopZuko The problem is, I can't "choose" to believe something. This story just doesn't sound believable to me in the slightest
Belugas will forever be the reason to protect the sea. Holy crap they're legit angels of the ocean
I can't remember where it was, but a beluga saved a freediver during a competition when her legs cramped from the cold water and she couldn't swim to the surface, sinking even deeper in the 20 foot deep tank. The whale carefully and gently took one of her legs in its mouth and swam her up to the surface.
@@roseabee7503 I looked it up, and it was a Beluga named Mila. She saved a drowning diver in Harbin, Northeast China named "Yang Yun". Found it on a 2009 Nat Geo article, thanks for the wonderful story. Reading more details just made it sweeter.
And the fact that they can sound like happily squealing toddlers is just icing on the cake!
I remember being a kid in elementary school and being told we were going on a field trip to see a dolphin show at an aquarium. Turns out they were mistaken and it was a beluga show and my disappointment lasted for literal seconds because that’s how long it took me to fall in love with these lumpy goofballs.
Was it in Chicago?

"They're also natural extroverts." He says after telling us a story about a beluga whale that learned to speak human just to tell some dude to get out of his tank.
I'm betting he did it for the laughs.
He did It for the memes
"I'm going to prank this guy so hard" is strong extrovert energy. Speaking as an introvert, if I was a small whale who wanted a human out of my enclosure I'd just body slam that person until they're out.

Update: Poor Pale Male just died in the last few weeks. I remembered hearing about him as soon as I heard his name in this video. He was estimated to be 32 or 33! Rest in peace ♥♥
Rest easy, Pale Male
Kinda upset I didn’t know this when I was in NYC
Nooo....
Rest easy, Pale Male. You earned it!
R.I.P he was New York's top shagger
Gone, but never forgotten.
My dad was training with his unit (polish equivalent of navy seal demolition unit, formoza) in the middle of the atlantic and gor separated from the boat and his buddies. He surfaced , but they were nowhere to be seen. He swam towards something that looked like a boat from distance only to encounter a small whale tangled up in fishing lines that attached crab fishing wire boxes to eachother. He proceeded to attempt to free the panicked calf. Only after the poor creature was free,a larger whale made itself known. He said the display of affection between them was the most beautiful thing he witnessed. He was fearful of the big one, and it must've known become it seemed to beckon the calf to approach him instead, fearfully at first, but when he started swimming around it and "playing" it allowed itself to be touched, with the big whale "supervising". The mother whale allowed him to rest and hold onto her. He said he must've spent at least two hours with them before being rescued. He spent next years working and volunteering for whale and crustacean conservation all over the world, saying the display of kindness and compassion (the mother whale not having abandoned the entangled calf, which, having had the ropes deeply embedded into its skin , must have been stuck for days) from animal so far removed from us yet so "human" changed his view of the world profoundly. Having had the opportunity to swim with the whales last year made me understand how one such encounter can change a person, it's magical. I wish we could do more to save them from effect of human greed. Hats off to all heroes fighting for conservation of nature.
Miss you, dad.
Thank you for wonderful video ❤
I never would’ve thought that the Beluga whale would sound so damn adorable. Just hearing one make those noises at 3:18 made it my favorite whale
I haven’t seen you in the comments in a while
Well well well, we meet again JSGWAM....
Yo bro where's your moustache
Its fuckin adorable... I mean, dumbass whale.
I think they used this sounds for the Cuddlefish in subnautica, to think such cute noises come from a real animal
My Grandpa was a dairy farmer, but had reduced his workload to renting out his fields to others, bailing hay to sell in the winter, growing vegetables, and raising chickens for their eggs by the time I came around.
Anyway, one year he rented out to someone who had three highland cattle, and things got weird. We kept getting calls from neighbors that the cows had got out and were wandering around, and we'd have to go fetch them. A couple of times a week for a while.
Eventually, I witnessed how they were doing it: they'd run at the barbed wire fence, drop down on their belly, and power slide under the bottom wire. Their hair was so long and thick that the barbs weren't hurting them!
Oh, mammals (livestock, pets, orangutans) when they want out bad enough, they will show you some clever techniques! And those were very considerate bovines your Grandpa had. Most cattle when they want out of a pasture bad enough they will sometimes just tear the fence up. Apparently barbed wire doesn’t hurt them as much as you’d think.
Cows are clever. Sometimes they might _act_ stupid, but that's just to get on your nerves.
My father was working on a stable for milking cows as electrical engineer to install all the sensors,security and what ever else was needed like Fire Sprinkler system and alarm .
Any way as they were finishing late they would kill all the lights and go on there way when they see stable lights on😂 .
Questions like "who forgot the lights?" fly around but every one to a man swore they killed the lights so they go back turn off and they are on there way.
They barely got moving and stable was lit up again😂 . They checked cameras and they saw a cow flip the switch with tongue that was located on a support beam behind a bend 🤣.
Impressive animal
That sounds like so much fun! :D
That is the best thing I've heard
"A tank with golden retriever solfware" is such an awesome description of a highland cow. I enjoy your videos alot man
I met a beluga when I was pretty young. I was separated from the main group and it popped it's head above water so I talked to it and asked if it knew any tricks it wanted to show me and I twirled my finger and it spun for me, so I told it how good it was and it bobbed at me and then followed me as far as it could when I went to look for the others. No one believed me at the time but I am quite sure now it knew what I was getting at and liked the attention. I have no idea exactly where this happened, I was too young, but I remember telling my mom is had to be a beluga like the song and her thinking no one kept them so it must have been with my grandparents or a school group. It was weird though, it being in a giant tank alone like that. Like I wandered into a closed area.
that's amazing. 10/10 moment.
Many whales are able to feel the same or even a higher level of compassion. Knowing this, it's no wonder that whales act like we have seen in the video. Somewhere in the ocean, a group of sperm whales was seen with a bottle nose dolphin. The dolphin was deformed and unable to keep up with his group. The sperm whales brought pieces of their prey up to the surface, so the dolphin could eat and wouldn't starve. They are truly impressive.
Pod mascot? That's pretty cool!

It's the strangest thing. You can see how intelligence can be malicious (sorry orcas), but also how it can be a wonderful aid to protecting the vulnerable, by just scanning a list of cetacean ethology.
Cant exactly feel more compassionate then humans have
@@dustind4694 orcas can do evil things but they are less evil than dolphins, most things they do serve a purpose like flinging seals in the air for hours to teach younger and inexperienced ones how to hunt
Once went to Mystic Aquarium and had a Beluga come right up to the glass and stare me in the eye. He then nodded his head at me just like a person would, so I nodded back. He seemed satisfied and swam away.
You got the B pass my boy
Vibe check
Nothing cooler than passing an animal’s vibe check
My first trip to Mystic in Kindergarten there was a Beluga in a holding tank next to the dolphin show, I wanted to see the Beluga more 😅 Belugas are my second favorite animal behind their cousin the orca
That Beluga is an absolute chad...
That Jim Crow joke at 09:36 was actually insanely witty, I'm surprised there weren't more people who caught on to it!
Right. This man's a genius lmfao
Exactly
It's not hard to end up loving animals more than other humans.
There are Highland Cows in the small village I grew up in and they are mostly very peaceful. Sometimes they chose to hunt a random cat that comes near them but that is fairly rare. And we should be all thankfull that they graciously stay in their designated pasture because fences are more a suggestion to them. Very fun everytime a calf first notices that it can just get to the other side of the fence (and then loudly complaind that it doesn't know their way back)
To be clear I really like them but they can be kinda scary even though none have ever done anything
hannah montana
@@moments1590 Why?
@@Hannah-xm6fn Oh no explanation needed, these animals are units. I grew up with normal cows around me and when one (or the entire herd) decides to check you out, it can be rather,.... interesting,.... especially when they still have horns (that are way smaller than highland cows ones) and got jolted by an insect that annoyed them. 😅
Knowing cats, the cat probably made themselves a problem entirely by accident.
The Beluga giving back the phone is just the best part for me. That was genuinely adorable and sweet.😄😊🐳
there is the story of a diver who had lost his go-pro camera under water and an beluga came up on the surface next to him and had the camera in its mouth 🤍

I need these to have the ability to handle the horrorfying nonsense of animals
When I was a kid, I'd play National Geographic VHS tapes over and over again, and never get tired of them.
It's only fitting that Casual Geographic is that for me today. I know you didn't set out to be a new Mr Natural World Narrator but you're doing amazing things
Orangutans, belugas, and humpbacks are in my top 5 favorite animals. So glad to see them get such love ❤️
I remember seeing a story about a man being sent into a jungle area to handle a huge snake problem in one of the bogs. I can't remember if it was some kind of reserve or not but the snakes were posing a threat to the animals that lived in that surrounding area just by the sheer amount of them.
The man arrived and waded out into the bog to do his job when he noticed an Orangutan checking up on him, the Orangutan refused to leave his side and made repeated attempts to actively try and help the man out of the pool by offering a limb for him to grab onto because it knew the pool was dangerous and infested with snakes!
Nature can be very cruel and unpredictable but it's nice to know there can be sweeter parts of it 🥺
Similar to how some people are better at being kind, some animal species are better at being kind and orangutans are definitely one of them.
Hate to be that guy, but that story was a fake, sadly. It was based on that photo from the thumbnail where it looks like the orangutan is try to help the guy out of the water, but in actuality that man was just doing maintenance work at their sanctuary and that particular orangutan, Anih, was begging him for food as the two have known each other since the early 1990s and he would often give her snacks while on the job. It doesn't take place in the wild, the guy wasn't in any danger and the guy running the sanctuary says it's more of a sad testament of how dependent these apes have grown on their human caretakers.
@@HANDLE_Casual_Geographic oh shut up scambot
Orangutans used to be all over south east Asia. Now they only exist in Borneo. Because humans had been eating them for like 3 thousand years
Orangutan in Malay/Indonesian language literally means humans of the jungle
A while back I watched a video about a group of divers who encountered a humpback that had gotten tangled in the lines of some crab traps. She was struggling to stay at the surface and was getting weaker. The divers worked for hours and hours carefully cutting away the ropes and finally set the beast free. In response she swam up to each of the divers and made direct eye contact for several minutes, with each person. There's no way of knowing exactly what she was thinking or her motivation for the prolonged eye contact, but every diver there swears she was thanking them. If humankind saves no other group of animals from extinction, it MUST, at all cost, ensure the survival of the whales and dolphins.
Not the dolphins

There was also a pod of belugas that "adopted" a narwhal. They let it hang out nearby and over a period of time just started to see it as a (very strange looking) fellow beluga.
As it turns out, Belugas and Narwhals can have mules together. Food for thought.

There's one orangutan in particular at Zoo Atlanta that's a wonderful mother. Madu has never had any babies of her own, but has successfully raised three orphans, and is in the process of raising a fourth. She's so well known and adept at doing this, that when a baby at another accredited zoo is orphaned, Madu is the first choice as a foster mother.
Madu in English means honey 🍯

Everything you said was spot-on!! Thank God for the HAWK! Growing up in NYC, the rats were horrible and we called pigeons flying rats. The rats are so bad in NYC I think there's a special species called Super Rat! They must have broke into the Cockroach handbook.
I once saw a David Attenborough clip that showed a mother humpback whale calling for reinforcements and a male humpback showed up to fend off the orcas. It was amazing because usually male humpbacks aren't great news for mothers with calves since they zero in on the mother and the calves can sometimes get stranded through their shenanigans, but this time the male came through and drove the orcas off. Can't remember where that video is now, it was somewhere on youtube.
Anyone gets sauce on this, @ me please. This sounds awesome.
He gettin' laid after that. He earned it.
Yes! I've seen the footage you're talking about! But I can't remember which documentary it was from... I've seen all of the BBC documentaries with Attenborough so many times that they all blur together now 😅
Sigma whale
@@souvikchakraborty2019I’m sorry but I kinda feel bad for the orcas. They’re just trying to survive ya know? I don’t care blue whales are still my favorite and always will be! The real sigmas are beluga whales! They are everything NPCS think dolphins are! Orcas are a species of dolphin but even though they are the biggest and strongest they aren’t really as mean as other dolphins. They are still mean but not as mean. It’s going to be real cool if all of those pesky orcas trying to survive got blown away by humpbacks so there can be a huge surplus of prey animals and no more plants! WOULDN’T THAT JUST BE FANTASTIC?! That would never happen but I don’t really see the humpbacks you know? STARVING AN INNOCENT CREATURE AS “wHoLEsoMe” just as kinda mean to be honest. Why do so many people think predators shouldn’t exist? The humpbacks can defend themselves and others but don’t try to make it wholesome. It’s not. Imagine if a shark helped another shark from being killed by a dolphin and beat and battered the dolphin went away. No one would see that as wholesome. Just saying.
When I was a little girl I went to the Vancouver Aquarium. It was the early 2000s so they had a small pod of belugas (before research came out and they decided to stop holding dolphins/whales) in this massive pool. I have such a vivid memory of being downstairs in the underwater viewing area, sitting down and the belugas swimming by. I was on a whale kick as a six year old so I stayed for twenty minutes watching them and talking to them through the glass ... and one slowed down and squeaked at me. I'll never forget how cute it was, I got so excited. I was convinced for months that I could talk to whales lol. Belguas are amazing creatures for sure
You can totally talk to whales! Whether they bother to respond is another matter, of course. What a cute story!
I've lived in Vancouver all my life and have been to the Aquarium countless times. The belugas were easily the best part of the aquarium when they still had them. Now they have sea lions in that pool, which are adorable but not quite as instantly charming as the belugas.
VanAqua is on the top of my list of things I want to do should I ever visit Canada, mainly because of the otters
Aww! That's such a cute story!

Bro you’re already a legend lol I can’t get enough of your videos. You’re word play is flawless and the information on these animals are most things I’ve never heard before. Fun and informative. Preciate your work!
I remember going to the aquarium as a kid, and my mom loves belugas so we spent about 20 minutes there. (I wasn't complaining they're cool) well there was a little girl in a wheelchair who was nonverbal and had some disability (no idea what) and the beluga only focused on her and blew bubbles for her which even though she couldn't talk you could tell she was super happy by this. It was really interesting to watch cause there was a bunch of kids waving and trying to get it's attention.
All kind of animals recognice when another animal is in emotional pain and stress.After 30 years with sled dogs, to loose both legs and now see the difference between *FREE* working dogs to see how every kind og dog race are...... Scared.
Came for the wholesome, stayed for the highland cows. They truly are the sweetest cows in existence. I once had the opportunity to be stopped in traffic waiting for a highland bull to decide which side of the road he wanted to graze on. He stood in the middle of the street for a good ten minutes, looking back and forth, before he finally headed left where the rest of the herd already was. I kept visiting him and his herd on weekends after that encounter, to gift them carrots and apples. When I moved states a few years later, the rancher called me and said the herd still waits on that same spot of the fence every weekend for snacks that will no longer come.
Awww that's so cute and sad, I hope someone else gives him treats because he sounds like a good boy who deserves it
Coos are wonderful, aren’t they?
This somehow broke my heart
You need to move back.😀
Cows are great. Every summer, a herd of free range cows come through our property and graze on the grass in our field. They're a bit of a pain when they refuse to get out of the drive way when you have to get to work, but the dorky calves galloping around make it all worth it
I love how simple his videos are. Simple but captivating. So much interesting facts and yet simple. Love this guy
I can't stop watching this guy's videos. What an amazing way he goes about it. Great narrative.
I used to date a Scottish dude who would go for runs with me and at the halfway/turn around point we would always be rewarded with a field full of Highland cattle. They were always the sweetest, most gentle creatures, even though the field was right by a road that large, loud trucks would frequent. (Not that it’s important, but that dude turned out to be as sweet as the cows we visited so often! Though we are no longer together, he and I have continued to have a lovely friendship, and we still send each other pictures of random cows we see in order to cheer each other up ^_^)

Ever since reading the book about Humphrey, I always loved Humpbacks. I'm so glad they are actually incredibly chill and have the balls to square up to Killer whales.
Also, that crow joke is absolute genius.
I feel like orcas are the "humans" of the cetacian clade and humpbacks are the "neanderthals." I bet neanderthals were chill AF.

Dude, you're command of language just makes my day, every time. These videos are such a delight!
Last one low-key reminded me of Klepetan and Malena - a pair of storks settled in Croatia and their story is beautiful

One time in 2015 I think he wasn't coming home and local people were worried beacuse his route was over Syria and Iraq which was at that time under ISIS occupation so people were worried that he maybe got shot down, but few days later he came back and whole nation celebrated that day

Finally you mentioned belugas, my goofy arctic ocean babies! Have you heard of Hvaldimir? It's a beluga male that appeared around Hammerfest, Norway a few years back. He had some harness on and actively seeked out human contact so the locals assumed he came from a russian establishment for training whales, thus jokingly calling him a russian spy and naming him after the russian president (hval = whale in norwegian, the rest comes from Vladimir).
He ran into a lots of trouble because of spending time around humans, like getting disturbed by tourists and getting caught by fishing nets. Luckily, there are now laws to protect him specifically and only qualified individuals are allowed to interact with Hvaldi (as the locals call him which is mad cute). He also sparked an idea of a first nature reserve for whales in Norway. I highly recommend looking Hvaldimir up, videos of him are literally soul soothing!
That's a pretty big deal for Norway considering the nations history of whale hunting culture and modern refusal of some communities to stop whaling.
I did know about Hvaldi but I did not know about the conservation efforts inspired by his sudden arrival and decision to stay.
I just realized this is the beluga who retrieved the iphone on that viral clip
@@WhatIsSanity It sure is! Norway literally refused to join EU so they could continue their old traditions unrestricted. Well, among other issues... Their history of hunting certain animal species is rich, but totally outdated and unnecessary now, especially considering that some of these species face a real danger of extinction today. Hvaldi is such a unique whale that managed to get famous and steal everybody's heart so that real efforts could finally begin for something that's been very much needed. And to think some local fishermen wanted him euthanised back when he showed up...
I only wonder when will some animal representative make the norwegian government think of stopping the pursue of oil in the Arctic regions. The eco system would welcome that one fs
@@alwaysfish907 Yes that's him, the good boy! There are so many videos of him retrieving stuff, I wonder if it's maybe something he'd been trained for in the past
Also Pigeons are clean and very nice creatures. Nothing to be afraid of, and far from the “flying rats” we know them as today.
Matter of fact pigeons fought entire wars by our side. One in particular, Cher Ami, is considered a war hero. He was shot through the chest, blinded in one eye, and had a leg hanging on by only a tendon, yet he still made it back to HQ with his message which saved many allied soldiers. After WW1 pigeons were obsolete in warfare due to technological advancements in comms networks, since then they’ve become the homeless veteran of the animal kingdom. Their bad rep is wholly undeserved.
People ask me what my favorite bird is and I answer Harpy Eagle, but I also say that I love almost every member of Columbidae known to humankind just as much.
They're clean enough that people have historically bred them for food for thousands of years. I really don't know where their negative reputation came from.

I ain't never done nothing to a bird in my life and all of a sudden I'm seen carrying an umbrella out if the car daily after work. Can you imagine what the neighbours might think of me?
This has to be the cleanest Sponsorship transition on UA-cam. He made it seem like it was part of the video to enhance the subject
Thank you for this great video and the laughs. First time here and I subscribed. Can't wait to see all your postings.
One fact about Pale Male is he was a western sub species of red tailed hawk known as Krider's red tailed hawk ( Buteo Jamaicensis Kriderii) who are pale, or have more white in their plumage than their eastern counterparts. How he found himself on the east coast will never be known. I do know as a raptor handler and trainer he died a few years ago from old age.
Ah, thanks! I was wondering about his plumage.
Okay story about belugas - I ended up getting caught up in a riptide a few years back, got thrown around and ended up hitting my head on a rock causing me to black out, next thing I know I'm on the back of a beluga whale who was carrying me back to shore. I still see that whale every now and then too and they always remember me.
i started watching your channel because of tribe loui and now i can't stop.. i love your videos. thank you for the humor and info...
I am thankful for this channel. Thanks for the great videos dude.
I really love beluga whales, glad they're getting some credit. When I went to the aquarium once when I was much younger there was no one else by their tank besides an employee so the whales played with me. Simple game, swim at me then past the glass so I put my hand up, and run with them kind of game. I spent like an hour just like that. I love those whales so much.
I’m glad you did. What a moment in time!
@@Weirdkauz it really was lol. I will never forget it
I’m thankful for this guy. Renewed my interest in animals
you’ve perfectly put into words my thankfulness for this channel
Agreed 💯
Same
One of the few times I'm happy to see a channel get sponsored ads. You deserve more than you give, my friend.
You sir are a well.spoken informed going man. Always enjoy your video’s.
Fun fact, a blue whale's song can kill you if you're underwater with it. Water carries sound more effectively than air, so the sound can be lethal.
Literal sound wave attack 🤣😧
*_Mmmm_* _brain bubble goes_ **POP**
It's sperm whales, actually! Blue whales are loud as hell, don't get me wrong - they can produce sounds up to 180 decibels, which is enough to cause hearing damage in air, let alone in water. But sperm whales have them beat by miles: a sperm whale can produce noises up to *236 decibels!* And keep in mind, decibels are a logarithmic unit... so 236 is much, MUCH louder than 180. There are reports of divers simply being in the path of a sperm whale's call, not even close, and feeling like their chest was being punched in.
Then again, sperm whales are the largest toothed whale, so by this point, their ultra-powered sound wave attack is just a bonus.
FunFact 2: Thats just an urban Legend and complete Horseshit. There is not a single existing case where a human actually died by a blue whales song.
@@ahabduennschitz7670 Sure, there haven't been any fatalities from their songs, but if you use Google, you can find a variety of sources that confirm that this is true. Sure, I was wrong about what kind of whale has the loudest call, but either way the point still stands.
I have difficulty judging sizes so the image of the whale at 2:36 was honestly quite eye opening for me. Knowing something is big is one thing but actually seeing it right next to something you understand the size of is crazy
Yep, that fellers eyeball is bigger than your head.
I know what you mean! I always need like a human for scale next to something or I simply cannot comprehend the size of some animals.
Part of me wants to go whale watching someday, but part of me is lowkey terrified because of just how BIG they are, even though they're most likely not going to hurt you.
I thought I knew how big a rhino can be, had seen scaled pictures and everything. Still completely overwhelmed when I saw one in a safari zoo. Like, absolutely blown away… there’s nothing like really seeing animals to impress their actuality upon the mind.
@@Weirdkauz One animal that for some reason ALWAYS surprises me are camels. They are so tall! 🤣
Honestly! You're the one and only that makes me thankful for the mere existence of New Jersey.
3:29 it sounds like Peter Griffin
More like a donkey
Fr lol 😂😂😂😂
I've always found it hilarious how Sea Otters have two modes: Wholesome and utterly menace.
One minute they're chilling, holding hands, eating snacks, playing, and being really good moms. The next they're drowning shit, violently mating, and doing horrible things to baby seals.
You may wanna go over to Kpassionate's channel and watch her into about Sea Otters.
The thing with the baby seals was a really rare occurrence, like a 3 out of 1,000, if I remember correctly from her video.
@@John_Weiss That's the thing with the internet. If something happens one time, it must surely mean everyone/everything does it (or needs to do it). No one understands outliers anymore.
@@sluttymctits4496 dude, finally somebody realizes the lack of actual thought on the internet
@@sluttymctits4496 Exactly.
And CG wasn't, IMNSHO, trying to say that all sea otters did this. Someone just challenged him that he, "couldn't ruin sea otters." So he accepted the challenge and found _all_ of the unsavory things that have _ever_ been observed in sea-otters.
KPassionate did a reaction/clarification video. And she's a marine-biologist whose job has been rehabilitating orphaned sea-otters for a living. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend searching for her video about it [and about other marine mammals]. She knows her stuff.
Ah yes, the duality of otter
Seeing him finally speak about Belugas being Adorable as all heck illuminates my soul even brighter.
Another GREAT show- Thanks and keep them coming
I love ur content ! I cant believe I found u just yet. i learn somthing new, its funny without being so in your face and u are just so cool.
His content has improved so well that Discovery Channel is sweating.
Quality and the commentary is on point & informative.
Always look forward to new uploads every week
They should just pay him to run the channel.
I had to go to the zoo and just watch the Orangutans for _hours_ (for a class) and it ended up being the most interesting few hours ever. There was a baby, and a couple of "toddlers," and watching the family dynamic was so cool. Even when the little ones were clearly being irritatingly rambunctious, the adults still put up with it, and the baby was on mama's back the whole time, even trying to give her the stick he was extremely fascinated by, while she tried to get them up the tree. It was cool.
That is adorable.
I had a simular project to do in uni, but sadly no Orangs in our zoo, so i did the next best thing; Gorillas.
After seeing some of your videos about the morbid parts of nature I needed to see some good of this world so thanks for the vid bro
i’m in scotland and i ALWAYS see highland coo (cow) merch at traditional shops, and my family often buys them. we have a whole collection now.
Where there is pure evil there must always be an equally pure good. ❤️
Easy to forget but vital to remember
Yin and Yang are never and I mean NEVER without each other
@@msk-qp6fn yin and yang doesn't contain good and evil
Everything that completes yin and yang is good and everything that distrubts it is bad
@@sudanemamimikiki1527 Guuurl im east asian 😂😂 I know yin and yang doesnt directly translates to the western equivalent of evil and good. It's just a metaphor and thankfully most people still get the gist of it even if their understanding is not accurate per se.
@@msk-qp6fn balance of evil and good isn't western thing either boy.
My neighbour had highland cattle. Big shaggy beasts across the street, who did not really care for anything around them like people on a walk or their dogs.
Once I got a bit anxious when I saw the massive bull sneaking up on my neighbour, just to nuzzle him in the lower back while repairing a fence and getting hugs and a lot of petting in return.
Reason they like us so much may because of their natural enemies, like he said bears and wolves. Has you may guess humans HATE these animals and will kill them on sight a lot of the time (this would change over time) well these cows will naturally understand this over time.
Seeing has humans really don't go killing their young or even attacking them in adulthood sometimes dying of old age. They would naturally see humans has a friend, leading to a unsaid union between the two species. Just a theory of course, I can always be wrong.
😍😍😍😍
Love the subtle Hollow Knight Greenpath music in the background. Made this video even more wholesome, thank you! 🫶🏻
My dad worked in Detroit. He said after the city reintroduced falcons into the downtown area all the pigeons refused to fly unless they had no choice.
The Jim Crow Laws joke at 9:30 caught me so off guard
Regarding the humpbacks: I'm wondering if they're smart enough to realize that by helping a species that isn't even their own, they're depriving the orcas of a meal which will leave them weaker and exhausted and thus less of a threat to other humpbacks?
They are smart enough.
Stop it
In the end that is similar to how human empathy evolved by "by helping x I can protect/help me"
win win, their young wont be hunted for sport and the ocean wont have to deal with those assholes!
I don't think orcas have to worry about going hungry. As long as humanity doesn't empty the sea of prey, orcas will continue to be the wolves of the sea, hunting, eating and not giving a hoot.
I’ve already watched this and will watch this again and again. Love your videos.
I remember seeing a glimpse of a doco on orangutans around 15 years ago where some people were studying them, they noticed that they had some idea of using tools, so they left them a wood saw. An orangutan figured out how to use it in under half an hour to cut a log open so it can eat eat the bugs living in it
They do seem more human then chimpanzees to me.
But chimps are evil and that’s pretty human.
Orangutans are pretty much the best primate in so many ways.
@@darcieclements4880their babies are so darn cute too 😍
The reason humpback whales are so big is to hold the astronomical amount of kindness thats inside of them.
Not gonna lie the fact they are so sincere and altruistic like that gets me choked up, for real.
The great video. I always learn so much from you; and I'm an older person so that says something. And I noticed you have acquired a sponsor. Congratulations to you BOTH. You did a great job on the promotion.
Another excellent video. Nice upbeat, funny and fantastic commentary. The last bit of the video is funny and lovely.
love the Brave reference 8:03
I like when he gifts us with a wholesome video that does not traumatize us.
😂😂😂
Oh that VPN ad was SMOOOOOOOOTH!! ❤️I continued listening to you because you achieved pro status in my eyes with how you transitioned to it!
Red tailed hawks are my spirit animal. I got swirled by 5 recently. Go Pell Mel!
I used to live in a small rural town and someone nearby had some highland cows. Every time I'd walk my dog past their enclosure they'd come right up to the fence to check us out. They'd boop noses with my dog through the fence and let me pet and scratch their faces. They were so sweet and gentle.
