“At last it responds to it’s mother’s calls”
*Rolls down the cliff*
I dont know if I should laugh or cry 😂😭🤣
Dude 😂
Got me straight rollin
👁😂😂
Hahahaha
The chick: *LITERALLY JUMPS 400FT OFF A CLIFF AND BANGS ITS HEAD 16 TIMES*
Also the chick: *tis but a scratch*
Best comment.
underrated even tho it was made 1 day ago
Ikr it must hurt so much!! Ouch!!! And how come it didn’t even die but is good that it didn’t died
@Jacqueline Choi *didn’t died*

Parents: "Jump."
Babies: "Actually, can you carry us in your mouth-"

Goslings after breaking half of their bones from jumping off of a cliff: ‘Tis but a scratch
Fuvkin geese always so badass
Mother goose: "if all your friends jumped off a cliff, would you?"
Gosling: 🤔

This comment is underrated
More like:
Mother goose: our parents made us so stupid, we want You to jump off this cliff right onto these rocks.
Gosling: well... with such a small brain, nothing can hurt me. Jeronimo!!!

This is the ultimate *”They had us in the first half, not gonna lie.”*

bro how tf that bird have no brain damage
At least is survived
@@seshstick cuz it has really low mass, hence the impact force is like negligible. If you throw a horse like this it will literally explode, but a mouse can survive even higher than this.
-Has balls of steel
-Survives a fall from Heaven to hell
-Gets up against all literal odds and refuses to elaborate further
Bro the sight if him plays gigachad music
Be baby birb
Smol light fluffy
500 foot cliff dive of death
but terminal velocity low relative to body mass
Impacts the bottom with little damage
Walks away with parents like a motherfucking boss

What an incredible work of the nature filmmakers. This incredible shot of the flying goose from below with all those hard hits, the reaction of the parents filmed in close up, the other cameraman right at the start of the jump on the cliff and then the reunion of the family. This must have taken an incredible amount of patience to be able to film this at the exact right time. They probably waited for this moment for years to catch it. I guess the BBC payed them good for this incredible and very emotional and heart wrenching document.
Dude 💀 they just recorded a natural event in nature with some intense music over it it’s a magical event they perfectly captured. It’s not like the geese and the chick were actors being paid to do the bit it’s just a documentary.
Paid
@@ToeJam161 paid 👍
@@sapling6536 most nature documentaries are all staged. They're real but they put the animals in those positions and have the cameras ready before hand. OP is right they probably have been tracking these geese for a while and set up cameras on their next
@@sapling6536 that is precisely why it's incredible that they managed to capture it. Because the geese aren't playing a role, everything could go wrong. They could film the duckling's fall and have the baby die anyway, and have to shoot it all over again. Which would mean finding another duckling

"a perfect launch"
*_Falls straight down and slamms into solid rocks_*
😂 right? I don't mean to laugh, but that's exactly what I was thinking. Looked painful as hell
I mean, this doesn’t take away from the fact that it Was a perfect launch.. the landing doe 0.O
@@devoted2thaentertainment207 that wasn't painful
It was dead instantly
@@UnvisitedProfile but the _a controlled fall_ comment was amazing still
And then it still slamms into the rocks
😂😂 I know right
Me, as I start the video and call my daughter over: This little fluff ball is gonna dive over 400ft into the water to his parents!
Both of us as the camera pans down: OMG THERE'S NO WATER!!
What a rollercoaster of emotions that was. LOL!
For those concerned in the comments, making big jumps like this is strangely common for tiny baby birds (look up wood ducks for example); because they are so small and weigh so little, their terminal velocity and force of impact aren't enough to hurt them badly :)
Not exactly true. I watched the full documentary that this clip is from on BBC the other day, and two of the goslings died from the impact(s) of their jumps :/
thats why 2 out of 5 died?
According to your logic a human baby can survive, I mean they weigh a few kgs
@@dev.j255eriously? Those chicks are less than 1/10 the weight of a human infant
@@dev.j255what no babies are heavy compared to those chicks you probably know what terminal velocity is right? Ants can jump off the tallest buildings and survive because they weigh practically nothing, so when you multiply the gravity and everything it still doesnt put much force on the ant
His wings were small, but his balls were fully grown.
Yomamasaho That’s instinct not courage (He had no choice)
^^somebody get this guy a Nobel prize^^
On second thoughts, I feel like a Nobel prize would be slightly insulting - genius like this doesn’t come about very often, a Nobel prize just isn’t enough. Even Charles Darwin himself believed that the sole reason that chicks jump off cliffs like this is because of how daring the newborn is, in all fairness, what other conclusion could we come to other than this.
Well done Samuel, thankyou. I can sleep at night now that I know that I DO in fact have bigger balls than these chicks
about some people even eat them. Rocky Mountain Oysters. Not me. HELL NAW!

The fact that they can survive that drops is absolutely extraordinary
The fact this is the best strategy I'm having trouble coming to terms with.
I thought, "how could the internet let me watch this horrible tragedy?"....then, the damn thing lived. I shall be able to sleep tonight
If a bird jumping off a cliff gives you sleepless nights then you wouldn’t survive a minute in my head.

That shit was hilarious in my head all I heard was a fart noise when he hit that first rock 🤣shitty ass bird
I like how the parents instantly came to meet it: "You passed the first test of survival, son. Achievement unlocked: The Cliff"
Ha
*they came to hear me beg*
The Cliff my ass😏😂😂😂Lil Bird last chapter

Right?!?!
I actually held my breath
Sounds like angry bird 😬
I thought that it died.
@@j_mack1996 i thought they cant walk because they break their feet😅
I watched this high and couldn’t help but to laugh then cry , but laugh again 😂😂😂
I wasnt high but I laguhed and felt bad at same time
This is the pinnacle of optimism!
"If your friends jumped off of a cliff, would you do it, too?"
*Me and the boys:* 0:16
Haha bruh
Haha nice
fr you wouldn’t tho
No fam. Just you.
The boys didn't jump💔
I would
"Barnacle geese regularly create nests on high cliffs to avoid predation, however within a few days of hatching goslings must jump off these cliff faces in order to meet their parents who are foraging on the grass below... The young of species required to make astonishing jumps from cavities and cliffs have an incredible softness of their bones for the first few days of life, without which the fall would surely be fatal. It is astounding that a gosling can fall 100ft and survive at 2 days of age, where they could not at 1 week."
Since I know at least some of y'all must be curious (from wwt)
We already knew that but thanks i guess.

😆Noh!haha fantasy!
Needle scratches as he hits first cliff ? 🤭
would've been funny 13 years ago

Someone gotta make a video with that song
My grandad explaining what he had to go through to get to school every morning:
Bruh 💯
😂 my mum used to give me this speach.
I don't know why but I instantly thought of some eastern European grandpa polish or German saying , "Ehh go to sleep in Poland wake up in East Germany , what can go wrong?"
My mom walked to school in the snow every day up hill both ways in San Jose California
Yeah !!!
Who else thought the chick was dead when he smashed into the side of the mountain.
I thought it was dead 16 times
mee too.....
I was like how did it survive all of that
im not liking for the sake of the meme
@@prakashharionutube me too
I cried when I saw the little things move after the jump. RIP the two died.
1:53 lol that smile “I told you he’d be fine, see?” 😂😂😂
The little squeaks as it hits the rocks breaks my heart :’(
And the other one died :( others are left 😭
@@theboogeyman1100 Yemen🌷🌷🌷
Why?
Some thumping noises were donned by BCC's sound effects team.... for dramatics.
I LAUGHED SO HARD LMFAO 💀
This made me depressed when it jumped and then happy when he said it was a good launch and then depressed when it hit all the rocks and I thought it died but then happy again when it survived and then depressed again when they showed the other dead and injured ones and then happy again when it responded to the call of the mother but then depressed again when it fell off the cliff again and then happy again when it still survived and got united with its mother but then depressed again when he said there are still chicks unaccounted for and they couldn't search for it but then it made me happy when he said a third one made it but then depressed again when he said it had to catch up so I thought it was gonna get abandoned but then it made me happy again when he got reunited :)

One of the most amazing things I've ever seen. My heart skips a beat every time they slam into the rocks

Downhill both ways. And barefoot. And we wuz grateful!
“I walked 40 miles with a potato in each hand”
1:53 "Are you questioning my parenting?"
😂💀👌
No mommy.
This is gold 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol
This one killed me 😁
Dad and Mom starring from above happily with a bunch of lumps on their head: We remember our first jump. 🥰
That was heartbreaking to see at first and then so relieving at the end.
I can't even imagine to what length the crew might have went to film all the things for days and cut it down to 5 minutes. Finding the locations, camping for months for something to happen. Capturing that rare event that starts and finishes in seconds from 5-8 different angles at that perfect moment. Shit.
Beats having a nine to five...
Great point!
I can imagine the camera man writing in a diary: week 1 day 2, the chick is now ready to jump
@@saeromssae true! Man it must be difficult!
Thats the art of documentary
People jump to end life, these birds jump to begin theirs

9/11 brought me here
@@mr.janhe_10 I appreciate it. Nature is beautiful and it teaches us a lot!
I remember my friend sending me this without any context back in middleschool 8 years ago and laughing our asses off, how cruel were we XD
This made me cry it's so cute
The phrase "If your brothers jumped off a cliff, would you do it too?" probably has no meaning in ducknese.
The likes right now tho
It's ducklish you fucking illiterate

It's so funny,😁
Because space apes like fiction....
THIS HAS NO RIGHT BEING THIS FUNNY 💀💀
I'm sorry I couldn't help but laugh a little.... The way it jumped and the music made it sound like a James Bond film
1:53 my reaction when the bird was still alive
That was classic 😂😂😂
🤣🤣😂
And wood ducks think theyve got it rough!!!!!
You made my day bro 😂😂
:D

DREAM ON! DREAM ON! DREAM ON, DREAM UNTIL THE DREAM COMES TRUE!!!
Very amazing. Never thought that they would survive such a free fall. Great video, thank you very much
sometimes they dont survive
The fact that the gosling just smashed into a bunch of rocks and shook it off like it's everyday business.
It reminded me of the cut scene in Doom eternal where the Doom Slayer crashed through a wall, shook it off and kept on walking.
‘Tis but a scratch.
The parents to the chicks almost ready to leave: “Some of you may die...but that is a risk we are willing to take.”
Lol

Lucky Bird , it's super light
Yeah it must reach terminal velocity really quickly, so at a point the height of the mountain doesn't matter. Could be as high as the moon and it will still be fine if it doesn't freeze to death.
I got chills down my spine
The duck is so cute and I was so sad when it looked injured
Nature is gangsta as hell! After that first crash into rocks I was like, "What the hell am I watching"?! I just experienced a rollercoaster of reactions for these little things! Lol

This make anyone else cry😭😟
It is freakishly amazing they lived And that their parents were at the bottom.
And just think of what had to happen for this to be "the way"... they had to try putting the nest up on the top of an inaccessible cliff... chicks had to mostly crater for generations... had to learn how to glide basically from newborn...
All that to avoid months of risk of predation from I presume foxes?
i love how the parents are like
So honey how was your first day at school?
i died.
