Wings of the Albatross | National Geographic

[@UltraLigero1]

Inspiring. Presentation was precise, and moving. Lets hope more people watch, and gain respect for our amazing fellow creatures. As a human flier, I respect their apparently effortless flight. We have so much to learn from these amazing ambassadors. Thank you for your brilliant work towards their survival.

[@johnp3470]

With all the technology to learn the habits of animals you would expect scientists to realise that there is an invisible force controlling nature. All birds have nine air pockets. Isn't that strange how evilution gave all birds 9 air pockets. What garbage. Evolution is brain washing lies. Nature is full of God's miracles. Turtles locate the ascension islands each year from 1500miles away. All migrations are achieved through God. The Cuckoo migrates without direction from other birds. Coral reefs spawn together once each year. Cicada swarm exactly every 17 years. We also now have all the evidence we need to know the earth is flat. Antarctica is 30degress colder than the arctic and does not get 24hour sunlight. The fantasy curve should be 66feet over 10 miles but we can see land which should be way over the curve. The suez canal is 100 miles long and has no locks. Tides are not uniform and do not affect lakes. Tides are fundamental to reproduction and feeding. How? Why? Well satan rules this world, just as sit says in the KJV Bible. The rothschilds/red/edom nation control world governments from the satanic sovereign state city of London. They run the worlds national banks and control governments and education, media and scientific establishments supporting evolution and globe earth and suppressing evidence of flat earth and Nature being God's creation. Almighty God controls everything knows everything and will judge everyone.

You need to read a biology book, specifically the chapter entitled, "Evolution" and learn something.

The first time I learned about the albatross was when I was a kid probably 10 years old or younger. It was a song by Iron Maiden called Rime of the Ancient Mariner, that song was based off a poem written by Samuel Taylor Coleridge of the same name that introduced me to the amazing birds. It was because of that song and poem that I learned great respect for the albatross.

[@isaacpeachey8609]

My first exposure to this animal was through the song “Echoes” by Pink Floyd. It’s an absolute masterpiece of 1970s prog rock.

[@vlrissolo]

Same here, but I was in high school... now David Attenborough had taught me further

[@thomasvasquez7015]

I didn't think I would watch this whole video, given the format of a presentation. I was wrong and very enthralled.

[@urielriley]

Sweetness ❤️‍🔥👑❤️‍🔥 very informative. Seeing an Albatross is definitely bucket list for me. 💯 Keep recycling everyone💚🙌🏾🌎

[@SladkaPritomnost]

I showed this KZbin clip to my 8years old and 5 year old and watched in awe at these amazing mysterious birds.15,000 miles a month WoW! Great work and dedication from all the scientists and observers.

[@beebopbaloobop]

The hair style joke was gold

[@dnice8210]

The main reason this documentary is not on TV. Is probably because he's targeting fish markets. Over fishing our ocean leaves nets behind witch is killing the albatross

[@CenturianEagle]

Here’s a little video clip? It shows two albatrosses? About to become intimate partners? But it doesn’t always go right? Haha I don’t mean to poke fun at this guy, I really loved this documentary and I love albatrosses, it just seems like someone put question marks at the end of every sentence in his notes (I left a similar comment a few minutes ago but it disappeared, sorry if both are here)

[@jorgedelatorre9442]

I'm a follower of the Albatross Center of Taiaroa Head, (Dunedin, New Zealand). It's amazing how much love, effort and dedication the entire DoC team is able to give to these magnificent birds.

[@WildWestGal]

@jorgedelatorre I follow Taiaroa Head Albies, too, via Lady Hawk (YT channel). It's been such a wonderful education. They are such magnificent creatures! Even though I'm on the West Coast of the USA, I rang by bell last week for the return of the walndering Toroa.

[@JimChap]

Very glad to hear it. Must have the right people working in the right careers in this instance. Fantastic!

[@tpop7981]

19:18 I dunno but this might be even more epic then the masked booby

[@worldbestpilot]

Frans, from my perspective as a scientist (atmospheric physics) and as a Pilot I would like to thank you so much for this contribution !

[@clver760]

Yep thanks

[@peterstone172]

The adaptations that this bird possesses are truly remarkable. It is perfectly designed for flight. No aircraft can match the efficiency of this bird in flight.

[@tubeymcdee]

+Peter Stone All modern aircraft have more efficient flight than this bird.

[@sammy4651]

you are confusing technologically advanced to efficiency.

Im sorry but...to be perfectly honest I am way too stupid to be watching this forgive me

[@ashleytauber2703]

I'm not crying you're crying, I'm in love with these birds!

[@ahmadalawadi380]

now I don't mind being other than human, but only if I'm gonna be an albatross

[@apache65]

Albatross feed off of squid and fish. And they do go to land for mating and raising their young, but only at that time.

[@ElectricPyroclast]

I like albatrosses, frigate birds, cardinals, owls, the archaeopterix, falcons, peafowls, ostriches, chickens (and chicks! jk, jk) swans jays, eagles, and... and.... Well, the list's too big.

[@Vivaswaq]

I love this kind of work :'( I wish i could do this but I can never concentrate in school and i fail at math so i don't think i'm qualified for a job like this. It makes me sad that i have no hope of ever getting this job but this is what i like and it's the most interesting job in the world.

[@jackwest4906]

Hi. I lived on midway for almost 4 yrs in 1970. My dad a naval officer. I attended school at george cannon starting at 4th grade. There is few hundred servicemen and their families. The single guys lived in barracks. Watching this video I noticed I did not see any of the rusted wreckage of the fighter war planes scattered along the shoreline from the end of the airstrip to the naval station where my dad works. I am homesick

[@Hozanaa]

You are a remarkable scientist and have a good sense of humor

[@tumondiwa728]

Smita, a beautiful comment

[@lang1234]

For better fishing methods, he has terrible photos and incomprehensible text: "Instead of running out the bait from the stern of a boat, running it out from the side" (35:30) Which fish brands use better fishing methods? Why does National Geographic hide from the public ways we can have a good impact on albatrosses?

I could listen to Fans all day. I enjoyed this video very much.

[@wilsonblauheuer6544]

Bullshit. Chicks are born knowing how to fly, they just have to develop the coordination and muscular ability. Birds are born with an urge to fly which is stronger than the urge to mate. The only instinct birds have which comes before flight is feeding.

[@wilsonblauheuer6544]

Their Dynamic Soaring flight technique has recently contributed to a RC Glider achieving a flight speed of over 500 Klms/Hr emulating it. Birds are still educating us.....

[@percyaxton2882]

Coleridge never saw an albatross? He went abroad when he was about 30 to attempt to get off opium and was onboard ship for many months. He could’ve seen one. I’m not sure but I think he went to Gibraltar, a British Overseas Territory

Awesome data on albatrosses !

@Vivaswaq If you would really love to do this ? then learn to concentrate in school !! you only get one chance so don,t waste it !! You can do ANYTHING if only you dedicate yourself !! its easy to waste your time & bow to pressure from your mates ! but ignore them & go for it !! despite what they may say about you !! lifes worth more if you do stuff you love !!!

[@persuasiveprose]

Beautiful piece, thank you Frans!

[@PeteNotoe]

@Vivaswaq Also you might like to read a small book which you can read in a day or two called "Jonathan Livingstone Seagull" by Richard Bach and Russell Munson !! look it up its an enchanting little book !!

[@docsharp00]

@docsharp00 Ce voyageur ailé, comme il est gauche et veule! Lui, naguère si beau, qu'il est comique et laid! L'un agace son bec avec un brûle-gueule, L'autre mime, en boitant, l'infirme qui volait! Le Poète est semblable au prince des nuées Qui hante la tempête et se rit de l'archer; Exilé sur le sol au milieu des huées, Ses ailes de géant l'empêchent de marcher. Beaudelaire

Was there no evidence at that time of the expanding problem of plastic being ingested by the parents and then being fed to the chicks? If not, then how did it get so bad, so fast?

If they don't come to land, how can they drink and eat? ? I'm sure they easily poop in the air.
