That Puffin is remarkably chill about being snatched out of her burrow and having her baby grabbed up by some big featherless monster.

[@CaptainLumpyDog]

Face Palmization Considering my success in fighting 12-storey buildings, I dare say yes.

[@trexsharktruck86]

I recognize that this reply is a year late, but an answer is still an answer. So here it is: Very uncommon in the world today, animals that are not afraid of humans instinctively include humans. From an evolutionary biology point of view, almost all animals you can see commonly instinctively avoid humans simply because of natural selection: that trait has been bred for. The animals that aren't afraid of humans, well, they got massacred and went extinct. Famous example? Dodo bird of Mauritius... Wasn't afraid of humans and ended up becoming a meal until extinction.

[@phantomcat1161]

Did anyone noticed that the baby puffin pooped while it was holding my the man🤔

[@MrGksarathy]

@@trexsharktruck86 Actually, the dodo just couldn't run fast enough.

[@HidekiShinichi]

Lack of facial expression ability means that you cannot really see fear and stress those birds are undergoing.

[@isaacandrewdixon]

I could not possibly realize how much joy the word "Puffling" could bring to me.

[@sacredoakgaming5703]

John Steinbeck,yes,ur right

[@Yesica1993]

@ John Steinbeck "I could not possibly realize how much joy the word "Puffling" could bring to me." I just discovered this video. I fully agree!

[@b3njiflareon354]

What about "Muffin"?

[@Llandraa]

John Steinbeck right, that is the best thing I’ve heard all week, how did I not know this.

[@CaptainLumpyDog]

LNG Only if it were a baby muffin. Then it would be a puffling eating a muffling!

[@mcv12345]

I like how the adult looks only mildly concerned when grabbed by the guy

[@burnout02urza]

"No one ever believed the pufflings, when they claimed they were abducted by aliens. But they knew - Oh yes, they always knew the truth."

[@rickymartin4457]

Sounds like something from Gary Larson.

[@Dowlphin]

"My child has been blessed by the gods!"

[@aRandomwacko]

Happy wings!

[@AJBfc]

these animals don't have much of a defensive instinct

[@obsidironpumicia4074]

"Oh. I've been taken out of my home. Oh, there goes my only child. That's good. This is fine."

[@GandalfTheTsaagan]

1:30 I'll take that as a unfriendly response

[@fifihudson3450]

hahahahahaha this made me LOL

[@taktsang5563]

AJBfc and that's what makes them so adorable

[@ozkobonArt]

because they aren't part of any predator food chain

[@484DarkAngel]

The fact they call them "Pufflings" has made my day.

[@aestheticshark6439]

484DarkAngel yeah, cute! Cute! Cute!

[@peachmuffin143]

"Every puffling is precious" *britney spears crying and nodding gif*

[@youxarexmyxsunshine]

Alexandra Meininger lol 😂

[@Zeed_316]

They can dig. They can fly. They can swim. Puffins are truly the jack of all trades of birds.

[@endminx9083]

Imagen a giant about 9x your size just grabs you out your home and man handles your baby. Lol

[@hunter5822]

Imagine how much weirder it be if after fawning over you for a brief period just put you back and moved on. Is have even more questions.

[@araraphoenix5592]

Agree

[@amberpasta9379]

Hunter Hagen like being abducted by aliens

[@juliejay5436]

EndMinX 90 I would probably scream hysterically all the way while simultaneously peeing myself with fear.

[@howtocook9326]

imagine reaching for a puffin and you grab a snake.

[@pathofthetrickster]

PrOdUcTs UnBoXeR snakes... why does it always have to be snakes ?

[@isabellafelipedeoliveiraca6698]

A snakling!

[@Marylandbrony]

Or a Porg?

[@janetchen9410]

I wish that would happen to them!

[@TabalugaDragon]

that would be awesome, the non-venomous one I mean. The snake would be confused at first and maybe would not bite

[@Yesica1993]

"Every puffling is precious." We need t-shirts.

[@CinemaByteProductions]

That beak is so majestic looking. What an amazing creature.

[@sugreev2001]

People eat this majestic bird though

[@CinemaByteProductions]

+sugreev2001 WHAT?! Noooo they can't!! It's too beautiful..

[@Squid.R6]

+sugreev2001 😂

[@hmy7915]

thank you, good sir.

[@amiabenoit8996]

sugreev2001 who eats puffins? I've never heard of that, puffins mostly live on fish so no doubt they'd be a lean meat . I live in Newfoundland and have never heard of anyone eating puffins

[@bucca2]

Everybody talking about how chill the puffin is but it was trying to get away. The dude just knows how to hold it

[@pinoyakogid]

*pulls Puffin out of the ground ME: ohhh do it again Mr. magic man

[@Andrea-xs4ny]

It's mind-blowing to think that the puffins can find their burrow, with their child, among that landscape and the hundreds (or thousands?) of burrows. Animals are magnificent, mysterious wonders!

[@TooHooWrong]

I mean when you think about it, couldn't an alien say the same about humans? So many homes that look nearly alike except from the inside, how do humans find their way?

[@aleenaprasannan2146]

Can't you find your house?

[@joddle23]

Dude just straight up pulls a puffin out of the ground?! I need to move there.

[@fwpghxs4047]

TrueGamerOpinion Now that’s a true gamer opinion I can get behind

[@zennabella1676]

@TrueGamerOpinion HA HA

[@Rekonstructio]

Hopefully all humans will understand to stay the f away.... we don’t need another species in trouble!

[@Epic0201]

The first thing i tough was: That poor little chick, this is like being waking up in the morning with the freaking sun right up the face xD

[@naecher]

“every puffling is precious.” *cries of joy*

[@geowijayakusumah]

"Come and say meet your adoring public" That's so funny hahaha

[@xtiandee7887]

U can't fool me, that is a flying penguin bruh!

[@JanetStarChild]

This is the first I ever heard of birds burrowing and living underground. Very fascinating! It's very easy to see how birds are the only lineage of dinosaurs to survive. They're incredible animals.

[@Drumlinegypsy247]

Burrowing Owls, Kingfisher, sand martin THere are a few others im sure, they truly are incredible (lol i knew the owl one, but looked up the other burrowers)

[@TheMoonHuman]

Shearwaters are another variety of birds that burrow

[@cezhog9597]

Even kiwi is burrow bird

[@Ha-ix2yq]

JanetFunkYeah alligators are dinasours too

[@bbjanetsai]

Come to see Melbourne’s little penguins

[@anniesay3388]

Nature host: .. 2:22 so every puffling is precious Me: You're damn right they are!

[@samuelmc0123]

One of the cutest things ever, I love their silly walk.

[@QUARTERMASTEREMI6]

"Oh hi! come and meet your adoring public." Geez! and that was the moment I totally lost it. ♡

[@josheakle]

Dude gets bird poop on his hand at 1:38

[@edinayoung208]

LOL

[@River.s.]

HUUMAN NOOO.

[@bruisedmind]

Took it into the world for the 1st time and scared the sh*t out of it at the same time

[@Dowlphin]

I think it all went through his fingers. I think he might have been instructed on the details. For the bird it was a good opportunity to not dirty the burrow.

[@edunlap6594]

So cute! Birds are amazing!

[@apburner1]

+E Dunlap They are also very tasty.

[@papasmjordeig]

Puffins are amazingly tasty

[@carlbasky7637]

1:40 who else noticed the puffling took a dump?

[@criskp6861]

I love the guys excitment upon seeing the puffins

[@Dowlphin]

1 youngling, protected in deep burrows, 25 years lifespan. Quality over quantity. Now I like them even more.

[@joeschmoe5063]

it said up to 2m

[@richardavery2894]

I can't believe that he just pulled puffins out of the ground lol awesome!

[@dgteskoreananghilawsimplyp1491]

"Im gonna pass the chick to you." "Oh man. My First Puffling." 😋🤣

[@becauseimbatman1391]

1:39 imagine picking something from a hole and it just craps on your hand

[@chrisbellmara4934]

Always loved them. When I grew up you could take a boat out to a smaller island where it was filled with these cuties.

[@Dud3itsj3ff]

10/10 chilliest animal ever 😅

[@eb3986]

Oh please the whole thing is so sweet on so many different levels. Pufflings....I mean really pufflings. The presenters reaction to meeting them both is so lovely, genuine and kind. Fills your very bones with joy.

[@Yesica1993]

I had no idea they burrow underground that way! And yes, "puffling" is the best word, ever.

[@becauseimbatman1391]

Ah the puffin harvest looked great that year

[@Dud3itsj3ff]

What a chill animal!!! You just straight snatched it out of it’s home along with its only baby and it’s just like... yea yea say hello to the nice giant puffin jr 😂

[@wtx23j]

It's so adorable !

[@user-ts4bn7wp9l]

They really look like dolls

They aren’t endangered, they are threatened, but in high population where he ate them

why do people eat them....... They are so majestic and precious..... Damn Gordon...... You kill and eat a threatened species..... We thought you were better than that

Nothing like saving nature and the environment I love animals

The little one sat in it's cave like: "I am what? A puffling???"

[@matthew78917]

how would you feel if someone dragged you out of your home?

[@sammkr87]

Kind of wish someone would do that to these guys (the humans that is). I bet they would start complaining about “reverse speciesism”.

[@noriearata1753]

Babies live in burrows for 40 days. I learned a lot. 🥰🥰 Thank you!

[@mrnerdysworld306]

Puffins are so cute

[@linkdude55]

Puffins are the greatest creatures to have ever walked the earth and I cannot be convinced otherwise

[@thesimen13]

THat would be some vacation! Digging for birds!

[@DeathbyPixels]

How in the holy jimbalooshy was he able to just scoop up the wild bird(s) without it trying to decimate his hand?

[@sugarplumprincess6833]

I'm here wondering the same exact thing, mate.

[@Liuhuayue]

0:37 At first, it looked more like a toy than a living creature. I didn't know that puffins burrowed. I also didn't know they only had one egg a year! Cool video; it certainly taught me a little more about puffins. Is "puffling" a scientific term? XD

[@ZeeZeeBun]

Adorable little things.. And surprisingly docile.

[@thaxasaurian]

That puffin is like *the hell dude put me back!*

[@gotitlikethat01]

Puffin Rock! 😆

[@warriorseamonkey1693]

baba is the best thing since sliced bread. #pufflingsftw

[@MurasakiOnca]

Imagine Benedict Cumberbatch pronouncing Puffin. I imagine he'd say "pooffin" and for Puffling "poofling" 😂.

[@DENAANN1000]

Omg never saw one before, he's so awesome and the baby's to die for.

[@amywong2459]

Love these birds, they have very expressive eyes.

[@benjamindavis8821]

Puffins are cute amazing bird.😍

[@idylledoll]

I'm amazed how they could just sense they weren't predators and how the adult seemed okay with handling the baby! Adorable. X

[@lapetitemoma]

I've never heard of this type of bird. How beautiful it is. Thanks for sharing.

[@rasyid2849]

[@titanuscreature4485]

Awww the man literally scared the shit out of the puffling 😂

[@Thundralight]

little yellow dimples on the side of their beaks -so cute

[@hakeemasafi8716]

It’s amazing how friendly they are the puffin didn’t even fight when the guy just snatched him up not very defensive or offensive lol

I'm wondering if it's possible to trade my neighbors for these lovely beings... Oh, what I wouldn't give to be away from this filthy city, and experience the sunshine and fresh air, along with these little ones - they're incredibly friendly. Thank you.

[@lowesonia8551]
