Torpedo Gannet Diving! | Nature's Great Events w/ David Attenborough | BBC

In summer, the gannet's main food source of sardines live far out to sea. This means the birds must dive for their food, but even one small miscalculation could prove fatal.

I am flabbergasted 😂 lol thanks little mermaid - my kids just wanted to know why scuttle can breath underwater. Now they are sobbing inconsolably 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@Mac14329]

Probably should have stopped before that last part.

[@DoperThanYou487]

“Her chick will probably starve” 😂😂 that just adds to it

[@farissoliman7282]

That film was AWFUL

[@Kybay]

Gannets Can Walk on Land, Flying in the air and Can Swim Underwater.. Wowww That's Amazing !! I Love This Creature So Much !!

[@hydrolito]

Some birds also dig up worms.

They just break their neck if they don’t dive into the water just right

[@number3stunner118]

Exactly what I was just thinking. I was marveling at these birds' underwater abilities that I was completely unaware of until today, so I looked up some videos. This shit always happens, though. That's why I'm not into a bunch of animal stuff. I was good just seeing the birds underwater.

Great footage of amazing birds dive fishing for food.

[@hpmc7426]

The only thing they're missing is flying to space.

[@mikerosy6924]

Much respect for those birds of prey aquatic version, their wings allow them to torpedo motion into water, then all them to swing and bead off water when they come up to surface with 2-3 layers of derivative feathers, not even speaking about how long they can hold there breath and open their mouths and snap up a fish without water going down there big throats for beautiful similarity in muscle memory and ergonomics. True true master in the air and seas

[@mikerosy6924]

I’m bout to go down a Wikipedia’s rabbit hole how there vision works so on point in both ecosystems.

Me:sees how gracefully the gannets are diving. Wishes I could dive like they do. Sees how hard they hit the water at 100km an HR: Wonder how much that would hurt? Narrator: The slightest miscalculation could prove fatal. Me: Actually nevermind. I'll leave the 100km an HR diving to the expert gannets.

Attenborough, my man

[@vic2958]

got here after seeing little mermaid and was excited to learn more but the video ended so sad and kinda ruined the vibe

[@kelvinchau1]

I wonder if they accidentally kill each other when they dive down because they probably can't see what under the water on the way down.

[@bkjeong4302]

Kelvin Chau That happened in this video.

[@warpath77]

No i think that bird simply hit the water wrong and broke her neck on entry

[@CatchFishingTackle]

@@warpath77 Yes they do unfortunately - piercing bills, wing damage- underneath the white water is crazy, scary and thrilling to be in - NOT recommended, the sharks are around and getting hit from a Morus could easily be fatal to a human. It doesn't often happen, not sure why, but very few injure each other. An utterly incredible bird, that can swim :)

Dolphins won't eat the birds ?

[@thehantavirus]

its a mutual endeavor, the sardines, dolphins and other predators work together to hunt the sardines.

[@number3stunner118]

Wait, the sardines are working together against other sardines to help predators? That ain't right. They're supposed to stick together.

[@Tigerpuffer]

Where was this filmed? I'm curious as to what species of gannet these are.

[@simong7504]

The North Atlantic Gannet. The UK and Ireland has three-quarters of the world's population.
