Taken from 'South Pacific' (2009).
Unimaginably vast, the Pacific Ocean is 99% water and only 1% land - you could fit the whole of the world's landmasses into it and still have enough room for another Africa! This landmark documentary series explores the sheer scale and majesty of the largest ocean on Earth, the isolation of its islands, the extraordinary journeys wildlife and humans have gone through to reach these specks of land, and what happened to both after their arrival.
Welcome to BBC EARTH! The world is an amazing place full of stories, beauty and natural wonder. Here you'll find 50 years worth of entertaining and thought-provoking natural history content. Dramatic, rare, and exclusive, nature doesn't get more exciting than this.

Rough start to life. Abandoned by parents, driven by hunger in to shark infested waters… rough start.

[@blksoul26]

That one albatross that escaped by running on the water and shark. I see you!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@eaglesfight]

Despite the challenges, most young birds survive and live in the open ocean. That is their life, and so is ours.

[@JerryPowell-qu1hj]

That's right

[@dominicharvey6048]

"That is it is life" what?

[@RobertCooper-rd9in]

👍👍

[@catalinacurio]

As a kid I used to cry and shout to save the prey, don’t think predators are going to go vegetarian for me.

[@anthonydangelo3980]

Hahaha yeah sorry unfortunately that's not how nature works..nor evolution. It's survival of the fittest and if you're a shark and your home is the ocean it's your only diet, eating other fish and sometimes like the Hammerhead other sharks. Esp as the narrator said food can be really hard to come by so they're going to go after every opportunity. But look on the bright side, for all the chicks that are eaten most of them make it...

[@Seriouslysankey]

I always used to want the predators to win 😂

[@olorin4317]

Say what you want, but, sharks really know how to motivate.

[@stevebennett9839]

It's amazing how the sharks start showing up on the first day that the fledglings try to fly, how can they time it so perfectly

What can I say that is nature.

[@blucat4]

Wow, that's an epic struggle from 3:20, I thought that bird was going to get away. Gladly they ended with one getting away and said that most do.

[@catrinawatkins7604]

What got me is... unlike humans those birds appeared to walk on water 💧... I'm glad a few of them got away

[@Cleeon]

The reality is, only few compared the majority, of that birds, get eaten by the sharks, most of them fly away.

[@footfault1941]

The menu of the season served. Just wait for it at the table with a little patience, please!

[@alwaleedalthani9624]

Only the strong survive

[@MBlack-qt5fv]

No, in a jaws mouth it still dies. Sometimes the most beautiful survives. Sometimes the most clever. But what Charles Darwin said was the most adaptable survives.

[@f0ry0u81]

"Only the strong survive, Only the strong survive Yeah, you gotta be strong You better hold on. " ✌️

[@asimally9468]

POOR BIRDS....

[@Cleeon]

Imagine you're just 7 years old, and the parent abandoned you, and you must face the challenge of the wild. Lucky we're human, not the birds, is that true?

[@blucat4]

Ahh, they are lucky! When I was a lad I had to stand on me head in a bucket of quick drying cement for a week just to get bus fare home from me Dad!

[@FortunateJuice]

What an amazing watch.

[@Phoenix0630.]

Tiger sharks seem to time the birds' fledgling time as an annual crop season

[@Pumpkintiti]

[@Hello92864]

Did penguins evolve from these birds 🤔

[@thewhisperingsylph8738]

Albatrosses are known as the pirates of the bird world, stealing catch from other seabirds and preying on baby penguin.

[@chisaquaticvibe6524]

I think that title goes to frigate birds.

[@bartholomewlyons]

BBC be like: The more of those chiclets the sharks eat, the better. Come on now, sharks! Oh, great. Now let’s put sad music over it as if we care. And add some crunchy-crunchy special FX sounds for more immersion.

[@deejay-su7uf]
