Flying Rays You Have to See to Believe! Sea of Cortez EP 2

[@wildworld6264]

Amazing. I'm so glad you you share your talent and passion with us on KZbin. The footage of the jumping rays is incredible!

[@prettysweetowl6717]

Soo true! It's breathtaking!❤

[@nancyklier3657]

What a beauty! The images and your voice become one. You have shown us so much about marine life. You are truly an artist and an explorer. You do an incredible job. Thank you.

[@nikkilovesrocks]

@4:19 😳🫢🥰😊☺️🤗 Flapping those wings without the water's resistance must feel good! Meet you tomorrow at the Institute! 💖

[@gnarbeljo8980]

The rays on their wings in the air is so moving, I'd bawl if I ever saw such a sight. The innate joy of life in it's element in harmony is a great force of nature. It's a shame we humans tend to be removed from it in our heads to the point of forgetting how powerful it is. Majestic footage, what a sea to visit! 🙌❤️

[@roygbiv66]

Absolutely beautiful. Just when I was ready to the leave house, I casually stopped to watch and HAD to watch to the end. Thanks.

[@loistallini3609]

[@MrMace313]

Incredible! That was wonderful! I have been to Sea of Cortez many times and it is wonderful, but what you have captured is amazing! Thank you, I can't wait for more.

[@bretburt7317]

So cool. In Cabo, I saw small rays jumping right from the beach. Shocked me at first. Not all at once like this, just one or two at a time.

[@MrMace313]

Me too. It was a one time thing. I have been many times, but never saw again.

[@sheilatruax6172]

Wow! Whale shark, whale, flying rays, dolphins, turtles! What a feast! Thank you.

[@jenniferryburnsart8598]

The rays look like they are having fun. Love this! I am very sure this was even more spectacular seeing them in person. Would love to experience this someday. The dolphins were absolutely amazing too. To see them in the wild like this would be breathtaking! One day I want to experience this! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@juslookin2]

Absolutely fascinating and incredible! I’ve learned so much from watching your videos. Thank you for all you do.

[@clints7834]

That looks so fun and liberating. My life is so bogged down that I could never get away to enjoy moments like that so I thank you for capturing them and bringing them to us. I would do anything to experience that day you had out there.

[@SuzaGotye]

I love the way the rays belly flop!!! They're having such a good time! 🌊What a wonderful exciting life you lead sir, I'm so happy for you! The dolphins share the joy of the rays!

[@Lord_Ralph]

There can be no doubt: every type of dolphin is highly intelligent! Any species that goes out of their way to interact with another in such a way shows playfulness and curiosity.

[@shockflyer71]

Your videos leave me breathless and speechless every time. Just fantastic. You are developing more and more from a filmmaker of sharks to a filmmaker of ocean life. I'm so jealous.

[@smallone9825]

To watch any wildlife is beautiful so thank you Malibu Artist ❤

[@LTV_inc]

You need some kind of award or recognition for theses videos. 🎉😊

[@sherryvanrijn5453]

Outstanding, thank you!!!

[@betofernandez5524]

Hermoso vídeo

[@kunoknollenbuddler2167]

It breaks my heart to see dolphins in that tini pool directly after those outside in the ocean.

[@Beth-zg6gb]

I literally got choked up watching this video! Once again, it really rammed home the magnificence of this planet, its creatures, and the incredible creativity of the universe! Thank you for sharing! 💕

[@samkangal8428]

Oh wow , amazing !

[@robertyoung2279]

The RAYS....The reason they do it is because they can! As for the aspect of Joy, well that, belongs too us! The Dolphins....I see your point as Joy, I get the vibe of Love and Joy, they Love doing this activity, I get the feeling it was a contest taking place! Just SPECTACULAR!!! All the suffering by people and animals around the world now and times pasted fall pray to the Powers of the Air.

[@anitamitchell3452]

What an amazing day!! Free the dolphins.

[@maryengels1828]

Absolutely amazing, beautiful filming!

[@Boots_293]

Maravillosas tomas

[@TheJudiBambiPurrsParadox]

*Absolutely stunning!!*

[@TheMalibuArtist]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@PlantObsessed]

Wow, just wow.

[@Hklbrries]

As always, thank you, Carlos. I’ve previously reached out (via one of your videos, I believe) to a Cabo San Lucas business “showcasing” dolphins. Never heard back. How (specifically) can we help those shown in this drone footage? 💙💚💙

[@a.michelle9289]

OMG, I didn't know they did that!!!!😮 I think they're say HI to the drones!

[@fishhead991]

Wouldav loved to have been there with you guys. Great vid.

[@tompabay8721]

👍👍👍

[@RaniVeluNachar-kx4lu]

Thanks for taking us there. I hope very few people venture out into the water. Not that I mind exploration, but the pristine waters in the S of C look even more pristine if there aren't 150 tourist boats out with people tossing garbage in. The best places are remote and untouched. And they should stay that way.

[@mpmali3181]

You are a true amazing person

[@krissyscott4327]

THAT WOULD BE THE BEST DAY EVER!!!!

[@detlevpomp]

Grandiose Bilder!👏👏👍🌅

[@JustOneRedSoloCup]

That transition shot from the dolphins' free open water engagement to the captive state of dolphins at Cabo San Lucas was, indeed, a heartbreaking thing to see... but important nonetheless.

[@theitineranthistorian2024]

imagine if steinbeck had drones for his fascination for cortez. imagine what cortez was like back then. let’s hope cortez is preserved.

[@nahaniyes]

Instead of saying that we humans do not understand, I believe that the reason they do it is for joy and that is something that we humans CAN hopefully understand. I always feel disheartened by anyone who thinks that humans are the only ones able to feel joy and/or do things for the pure purpose of feeling that joy.

[@drips1030]

I think the do it because they can and love it!!!

[@drluisfedz]

Hi Carlos, where we can check on the calendar for this kind of workshops?

[@scrubjay93]

How sad that there are captive dolphins in Cabo. Thank you for showing what they are supposed to be doing - enjoying freedom.

[@1FISH]

Will there be a no-narration version of this one? I'm looking forward to it.

[@DonnyRP]

Saw these on David Attenborough’s planet Earth at the weekend

[@marcpeters4599]

So at nine seconds in we get to see a whale shark, cool, then exactly a minute later an aerial shot of the coast - does anyone else notice the resemblance? I see a whale shark, complete with the spots! Crazy!!😉

[@amandastakeonit7402]

Love it!! Love all of the JOY filled experiences!

[@floridacracker_]

Bump bump.. what was that?! 😂 7:50

[@floridacracker_]

Yay, belly flop Rays!!

[@SeaMonsterCove]

Be careful that Black Demon shark may be lurking 😊

[@shaf60]

They are flapping their wings they want to fly .

[@nicollekyostia6764]

About the dolphins: We went to visit family in Florida. They live on the intercoastal waterway on the Gulf side. One evening they took me to a birthday dinner on an island that you need to take a shuttle boat to get to. On the way back (it was just our family on the boat) the Captain and I got to talking. After I told them we had come from Minnesota and how I wanted to try and re-connect my teenage kids (who were with us) back with nature and the ocean, he asked if we had some free time. He looked at the sun and turned the boat around and cut through this channel. All of a sudden there were 4 dolphins swimming around the boat, including a calf. The Captain then said "are you ready?" I said yes, but I was confused. Ready for what? He already found dolphins for us. He said hold on and put the boat in top speed. The dolphins immediately gave chase. Leaping and flipping and jumping in the wake. RIGHT behind the boat. Literally a meter back. So close I was terrified they would hit the motor. But they didn't. And they followed us, doing this the whole time for what he later told me was 10 miles! It was the most incredible experience. And they were doing it for fun. He said they know the sound of his boat and always show him. He's never fed them so I can't think of any other reason than for joy.

[@jdhenckel2]

I would worry that the boat propeller would hurt the dolphins. Does that ever happen?

[@nikkilovesrocks]

Why isn't this a form of kidnapping, holding against one's will, or to hold captive ocean life? Obviously, unlike the Pacific Marine Institute, location Laguna Beach where the animals are rehabilitated. The dolphins in Cabo San Lucas (anywhere on land) are held against their will.😖

[@dominicvandermerwe2092]

Ah you should collab with Shark bytes, to he also just shows ways to avoid att, and that 99.99% of encounters are docile between sharks and humans.

[@iddddaduncan]

Cabo Pulmo?

[@nicollekyostia6764]

Anyone who has ever done a belly flop has to be wincing with me when they hit the water. SMACK!

[@smurphy1841]

No being belongs in prison for human pleasure 😢

[@mazi2646]

That last part is heart breaking. How can humans be so cruel I don't get it. All sentient beings should be free from exploitation. Go vegan.

[@jvinson4181]

The last part IS heartbreaking. I really do not agree with the penning of undomesticated animal species. Unfortunately, scientists are finding that even plants are more sentient than was originally thought. This is the problem I have with Vegan. I feel that it is a principle of life that some things must die to bring life to others. Even plants eat nutrients from decomposing matter that often includes decomposing animals. I think the biggest key is to live with the utmost respect and gratitude for everything we consume, with a reverence for that responsibility. I think a lot of the ancient Native Americans, I think a lot of them had the right idea for how they treated their food; using every part of the animal, giving thanks and prayers to that animal's spirit for the use of it's body, and responsible hunting practices that ensured the least suffering and the most success for the families and heards of those animals.

[@mazi2646]

@@jvinson4181 We are not in a survival situation when most of us have acces to foodmarkets. Non-human animals also should have the right to body autonomy. Animals have senses to perceive the world, nervous systems to translate their perceptions into experiences, and the capacity to move so they can behave either getting away from negative situations or closer to positive ones, animals can suffer. What makes life valuable is the fact that we have positive experiences (and this is why death is a harm). What is valuable is being sentient, rather than just being alive and why veganism is the only ethical choice. Plants lack the anatomy that allows consciousness and sentience. They have no nervous systems. Life itself is not a sufficient criterion for moral consideration. But if you care about reducing cropland 77% of the world farming land is used to grow crops to feed livestock and pasture for grazing. The expansion of land for animal agriculture is the leading driver of deforestation and biodiversity loss. It takes almost 100 times as much land to produce a gram of protein from beef or lamb, versus peas or tofu. With a shift towards a vegan diet we don’t only need less agricultural land overall, we also need less cropland.
