The guinea pig, "I'm late, I'm late, for a very important date".

[@kellydalstok8900]

It’s a wild hamster actually.

[@jaimezimmerman1670]

It is a hamster in the picture, not a guinea pig. Very big difference between the 2 animals.

[@haroldwilkes6608]

But it identified as a guinea pig...

[@jaimezimmerman1670]

@@haroldwilkes6608 It's not. It's a hamster. They misidentified several of the animals in the video.

The "rush hour" animal is a hamster! not a guinea pig!

[@petrahartog5934]

It's a very specific kind of hamster ... The only wild one in West-Europe . In the Netherlands it lives in Limburg . It's called Korenwolf . Most hamsters have lighter colored bellies , a Korenwolf's belly is black .

[@fairygoth-mother7341]

@HamsterHammy And the intimidated "ducks" were geese, the finger flipping "gorilla" a chimp, and the amazed "baboon" was a macaque. Sheesh.

[@judygmcfin]

That swan was intimidating 2 geese!!

[@coasterigh2684]

5:37 how does a wildlife foundation and wildlife photographer not know the difference between ducks and geese?

[@cattymajiv]

I know right?! I was stunned by that too! In fact, how does almost nobody watching pick that out, despite having plenty of time? People are just so oblivious! This isn't trash, but in general they don't care what kind of trash they watch, as long as nothing drags them off the couch. The laziness of Americans is just STUNNING! And Republican or Democrat, they're all a bunch of brainwashed sheep. It's really unbelievable they've allowed this to happen! My dad used to rail against the effects of dumbed down tv in the early 1970s! It was pretty bad then too, but at least people didn't voluntarily spend their whole life watching it then, and gaining an extra hundred pounds or 2 or 3! At the time an extra 40 pounds on woman or man was considered enormously unhealthy. Now no-one cares about a few hundred, and we are shamed if we comment on it! With the way nobody cares about anything but Netflix and food, you'd almost think that Putin had poisoned all the water or something. I donno WTF is going on, but it ain't good.

[@llamasugar5478]

How could they not know what they’re photographing? Last one was a hamster; the “ducks” with the swan were geese! Still loved the photos, though.

[@Caildyn]

"Swan intimidates Ducks" .... aren't these Geese?

[@cattymajiv]

Most emphatically YES! They are geese! Ever heard the term long necked goose? Well there they are. Two or three times the size of ducks, with necks 5 to 7 times as long!

[@bizzybee852]

Found another wildlife photographer mistaken about the animal in their photograph. The photo titled 'sign language' states below it: "a gorilla speaks fluent sign language" when in fact it is a full grown chimpanzee in the photograph, not a gorilla. But once again, the photo itself is hilarious. And I guess that is the whole point of the competition. But I wanted to post the correct information so people unfamiliar with wildlife would know what animal they were actually seeing in the photo.

[@cattymajiv]

There are countless errors of the same kind in this video! Glaringly obvious ones! It's quiet unbelievable! And this is a wildlife organization?!

[@magdalenampdenaviviers5735]

Thanx a lot for this beautiful pictures and relaxing music, and for all your hard work!! I really love and preciate it!! The Lord will bless and keep you for ever!! Thank you very very much!!

[@marjoriegoodwin2993]

Swans actually do intimidate ducks, which are usually quite respectful, but seagulls are not always respectful. My son saw a swan drown a seagull for insubordination, after which all the seagulls in the pond became very respectful.

[@petrahartog5934]

These are not ducks , they are Grey Geese.

[@marjoriegoodwin2993]

Thanks.@@petrahartog5934

[@cattymajiv]

@@petrahartog5934 Practically nobody caught that, in spite of glaringly obvious it is! I was just stunned to see how far down in the comments I had to go to find someone else who picked that out, in spite of having a super long view of it! You are the only 2nd other comment on it I've found, beyond my own. Apparently there are other egregious mistakes too, but I got sidetracked by the geese and haven't resumed watching yet. 😉 ✌🏼

[@Mirovanje12]

I was fascinated by the closeup photo of the giraffe ("Lick Your Lips"), by Stephen Biddlecombe: it was just a floating head, with no perceivable body. I'm stumped.

[@clarewillison9379]

Same here. I paused the video to check: no neck, no body. Round the giraffe’s right ear (especially the tip) and left cheek it looks like there’s fringing suggesting some photoshopping. Either that or someone threw a giraffe’s head over the fence: which would be a more impressive feat by the photographer who captured the moment.

[@bizzybee852]

Apparently one wildlife photographer doesn't know their wildlife too well. The photo titled 'Swan Intimidates Ducks' should read 'Swan Intimidates Geese'. Personally I could would never have mistaken those two birds for ducks, as they were so obviously geese. But if someone is uncertain if a bird is a duck or a goose, they need to pay attention to the bill shape. Ducks have flat, rounded, or spoon shaped bills, and geese have what we typically refer to as a beak, a pointed shaped bill. Though both words are synonymous with one another, a bill is a beak, and a beak is a bill. But I must say, I enjoyed the photograph of the Swan intimidating the geese nonetheless. It is usually geese who are intimidating other animals and people. Thank you for this very comical and enjoyable video.
