"they also have more small blood vessels around their cells"... Blood vessels around their cells... Are there cells in the blood vessels around their cells that are in blood vessels?
When talking about Emperor penguins, one of the photos its actually of KING penguins. you can see the brown juveniles. probably the pic was taken at South Georgia.
Awww... I was hoping to hear why Reindeer are also called Caribou :( Because I looked it up and apparently they're of the same genus but two different species.
Turns out Nature resists simplicity. we like to put everything in neat buckets, but nature isn't neat. Caribou look a lot different than Reindeer, and they come from 2 different places separated by a lot of space, so they're 2 different species by one definition. but, it turns out they can interbreed and produce fertile offspring, and that means they're the same species by another definition. Interestingly it may be that Polar Bears and Grizzly Bears are the same species by the interbreeding definition too. if the 2 breed, they produce fertile offspring (and it's slightly terrifying). we called them 2 different species when we found them, because of the habitat separation and the physical differences. but as the polar ice melts and forces the polar bears south, the environment of the grizzly and the polar bear are starting to overlap, and they may be interbreeding in the wild now. if their offspring are fertile, they're the same species. Polar Grizzly! :D
As a New Zealander, I point out that those terns are just plain dawdlers; Bar-tailed Godwits do 11,680 km from Alaska to New Zealand non-stop in eight or nine days, without food, water or sleep!
The bar headed geese migrating that high is sort of a myth particularly the idea that they do it regularly. Studies have shown that in general they uses mountain passes where available (Wikipedia sourced). They have still been found flying that high, with an enverified report of them topping Mount Everest, but that isn't a routine part of their migration. The coolest thing I found about their migration is that they have the highest rate of climb of any migrating bird and that they climb when the tail wind is lowest and therefore do so with the least assistance from the wind!
@6:00 that's a King Penguin colony, not Emperor penguins. Emperors don't have colonies *anywhere* that's warm enough to have abundant grass, not even in high summer. Also you can see the chicks, which are solid brown, not the gray, black, and white of Emperor chicks.
At 4:30 I guess it meant to say the bar-headed geese fly over 7200m above sea level? Flying an additional 7000m above ground over the heights of Himalaya would put them into the lower stratosphere.
You missed out my favourite migratory species. The American blue grouse migrates every year from the mountainous pine forests in their winter home, to their summer habitat of the deciduous Woodlands... 300m away...
(4:06) 4, Bar-Headed Geese: I've heard the same thing about cranes, probably in a Sir David Attenborough show. Sudden storms can really make things difficult. What, nothing about the distance humpback whales migrate while trying to avoid orcas... or the monarch butterfly, how they manage to find their migratory mountains in Mexico?
The most perplexing to me is the migration of eels from the UK to the Sargasso Sea. I researched it for my degree and calculated that since the eels don't feed in the salt water they shouldn't be able to store enough energy in their bodies to make the journey
My favorite 5 animal migrations: Arctic Tern, Monarch Butterfly, Serengeti Wildebeast, Bar-Headed Goose, and Humpback Whale. And the most impressive human migration is the seasonal migration from the US North East to Florida in the autumn and back again in the spring.

An honest question: isn’t it a stretch to call migration a travel that cycles on a daily basis? When people go to work every day, from residential areas to the center of the cities, is it also a migration? Or would all people in a certain area need to do it for it to be called a migration?
Before humans settled down, did we migrate seasonally? I know we migrated by spreading out following food, but did we move back and forth to places with seasons?

Honestly surprised monarch butterflies weren't on this list. The distance they travel is one thing, but the fact that the butterflies who finish the journey are the grandchildren of the ones who started is really fascinating.
...I think the bar-headed geese actually fly at 7,000m above *sea level*, not above the ground. If they flew at 7,000m above ground level while going over the Himalayas all the evolutionary adaptations in the world wouldn't be enough to let them breathe. :P
