First Year on Earth
Remarkable behaviour. Emotional stories. Scientific revelations. First Year on Earth follows the dramatic lives of six baby animals as they grow up and experience their first 12 months in the wild. A baby mountain gorilla navigates the labyrinth of the forest. A young elephant learns how to tell friend from foe. And a litter of Arctic fox cubs race to become self-sufficient before the cruel winter closes in. With intimate access and expert knowledge, this series casts a new light on the worlds of animal infants, troops and clans - and how human actions are shaping the challenges they face.

nothing can be said aside from "Awwww"

[@CCSABCD]

go back to making ASOIAF theories my boi

[@bridge4]

@@CCSABCD lol. I'm working on a barristan video as we speak. Sort of. I stepped away from computer and now I'm watching a few of his scenes on the tv :))

[@bridge4]

@@CCSABCD nice to see you here btw. Hardcore animal lovers are the best imo :))

[@CCSABCD]

bridge4 Nice, I really like your videos, keep it up!

[@bridge4]

@@CCSABCD thanks Cristian :) to be clear tho, you're the second best cristian in my book. Cristian the Lion has the number 1 spot :-P

[@tranquilrabies]

0:04 That sweet little bashful look after that very powerful, threatening chest-beating is *everything* lol

[@lizzyh458]

Oh yes it is. TOO cute :-)

[@TheSnoopindaweb]

I saw they do it when excited and to get attention. Same with Adults I figure, but also to let One know to back off. Yup❕ 😁 G-G.

[@shekharmishra2788]

The real question is who gave these baby Gorillas such a nice hair cut.

[@justincameron9123]

they do be looking fresh tho

[@boardingurban]

The cameraman's barber maybe

[@Goofybig_goober]

They look like some of my friends haircuts

[@ODIN20084]

Fresh af hairstyle

[@sukanyanawale5035]

What a bakchod!! Great Indian comedy!!

[@area309]

It's cute how unsure they look while establishing dominance. Like "Daddy, am I doing this right?"

[@jewkl99]

I’ve been replaying this video over and over for about ten minutes now and I have zero regrets

[@Curiousnessify]

you also have zero life

[@brianpso]

This is seriously one of the cutest things I've ever seen in my life. Usually I don't have visible reactions when I watch stuff alone, but watching this brought such a big smile to my face that I had to watch it multiple times

[@bryantsfx10]

Baby gorillas are the cutest can watch these videos all day

[@Alr1ghtyThen]

"scientist don't yet know why they do this" Um...all babies mimic their parents. Do they not??

[@TheSuperCoolMan122]

but are you a SCIENTIST? I think not

[@redmars3916]

give this man a medal 🏅!!!!

[@TucoBenedicto]

Yup. I found it weird that they pointed at it as some bizarre mystery. It seemed pretty clearly playful behavior to imitate adults.

[@hasinahmasud3808]

I know huh, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that one out😂.

[@Mike10952]

Let's go waste money to figure this out.... DUH

[@inesbarros1944]

Sweet baby...adorable!! 🦍💕💕💕

[@elsa7281]

This little gorilla female is one beautiful gorilla. She will be breaking hearts 💔 when she is older. 😃

[@dang5217]

Recently learned that watching videos of baby gorillas releases happy chemical in my brain 🙂

[@beakdog3271]

Asserting dominance at a young age, I like it.

[@MsPixi66]

The baby at the beginning is one of the sweetest things i have ever seen.x

[@DtoZ24]

love how the female baby beats her belly instead of her chest lol

[@amirshaharum3202]

This is the most beautiful video I’ve ever seen

[@kennethsatria6607]

Their faces as babies are so expressive, a few expressions and habist are just like a human baby's

[@phatngqn]

So cute, we need to keep their alive 🥺

[@AA-cm3pd]

Cutest thing I've ever seen.

0:05 is the same reaction I'd have with my mom, me acting up in church service knowing I was suppose to be paying attention

[@judajsun9266]

I just melt so much

[@jennifermendez9628]

¡Amo al gorilita bebé!

It could be a sign of excitement or making one's presence noticed.

[@maggie198333]

I did that to myself, and now my chest hurt.

[@iancannon2825]

[@mattiasantangelo9421]

"scientists yet do not know why they do this" well... I'm not a scientist but every kid ever, myself included, emulates the adults while playing...

[@giulianatognon4601]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊

[@heatherweir8726]

Simple reason they may do it. Baby see baby do.

[@toridoe9331]

John Boyega, is that you??! ... I meant the narrator...

[@SSeyhaa]

They do that because they wanna show power and look strong to enemy or who is in front of them

[@dark6.6E-34]

They already said that in the video at 0:07 But the question is why they use that specific act instead of developing a loud roar instead.

[@SSeyhaa]

Thx for telling, my bad haha

[@tombstoneshadow7455]

One of those baby gorillas looks like my cousin

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

They’ve learning how to Magilla Gorilla
