Keep up the great work!
What I'm gathering from this is male sea horses are way better husbands than they are fathers.
Meanwhile my old man failed as both.
@@max_the_mantis5173Bro a seahorse????
Sea horses suck so bad. Another species that nowadays survives on pretty privilege.
â@@max_the_mantis5173Same bro. My male seahorse failed at both toođ
So seahorse's basically nut in the water to make baby's
"What do you mean you guys can't eat this whole ass mouse." That bird dad really out here trying his best.
The poor man was trying. Those babies looked so damn confused. I felt for father kestrel
There's actually a full narrated video, by Robert E Fueller. He actually helped Mr. Kes at first. He also has videos of owls raising their chicks.
â@@fobiaargyst5875Robert Fuller is now documenting Mr. Kes's son Jeff and his chicks
PLEASE this bird's story is a whole disney movie and I just wanna CRY
â@@fobiaargyst5875and the original video is terribly heavy on the heart. Man, those chicks wouldn't have make it if that dude didn't step up and gave a hand to father kestrel. When he finally figures out how to parent .... yeah. Respect to that man
When my dad lived on the ranch there was once a hen who abandoned her chicks, she straight up just said fuck them kids. The rooster then raised them as a single dad he tought them how to look for bugs where to sleep and everything. I thought it was a wholesome story
cool
She said fuck them kids haha
Good roosters actually always play a role in their chicks lives. They primarily guard everyone from danger but they will call the babies to food and water just like they do the hens and they keep infighting to a minimum which helps the mother hen conserve energy as she has to fight to protect her chicks from the other hens less. There's even a breed of chicken (the Nankin) which is reputed to produce roosters that will brood just like the hens will.
Thatâs Really Cool đ â„ïž đ„
So true, in my family's farm this happened twice. The first time, the hen being careless left the eggs (many times unattended in the day) and I would always see the rooster sit on the eggs for them to incubate until the hen returned in the evening.
The second time this happened it was after the chicks had hatched and our hen died, the rooster was like their mother always leading them to food.
This was heartwarming and surprising too. đ
As a single father of 4 little girls...thank you. Thank you for this video. I didn't have a dad, so I make damn sure to be a good 1 :) lol I'm definitely a tiger dad
I wish you and your girls all the happiness in the world. My dad raised me and my 2 sisters almost on his own while My mom was in a different country. He was the most gentle person I knew but he would pick fights with anyone that hurt his girls. He was an amazing dad and I miss him a lot (he isn't dead but I moved to the UK and he is still back home in romania). I will forever be grateful to him for everything he did for me. Not to mention taking care of 3 children as a single patent sounds absolutely exhausting. So I wish you the best of luck with yours and don't forget to have a rest every once in a while because you absolutely deserve it. â€
@globalcined such kind words, thank you and thank you for sharing your story. The girls are actually away visiting for a day, so this I'm relaxing in a bath and having some drinks lol nostrovia. Take care.
You go dad . Best wishes for you
I am the oldest of four girls, born in 1951. My mother was often sick, so my father did a lot of caring for us and the house. In the 1950s he taught me I could do anything a man could do and how to physically defend myself. The only time I saw him a fight was with a drunk neighbor who got in my fatherâs face because he was hanging the wash. As my father had been taught Judo as part of his flight training in WWII, it was a very short fight which ended with the neighbor picking himself off the ground and limping home. I was very impressed. My paternal grandmother and great grandmother were independent, part Chickasaw women who lived hard lives and had a big impact on my Dad. There were many stories about my great-grandmother who once chased a cougar away with a broom. Her husband, a cowboy, had left a deer on the roof of their dugout to feed them while he was on a cattle drive. The cougar tried to steal it. When I was not much more than a toddler, my grandmother held a rabid dog off us with the big prairie style bonnet she always wore when gardening until my grandfather could lure it away and kill it. Bless him, he risked himself to get it out of sight so I wouldnât see it. Both of them encouraged me to get an advanced education and helped me out financially when they could. Both were amazing cooks and whenever I visited stocked their pantry with my favorite foods. I still remember my grandfather making me all the root beer floats my heart desired. Thanks so much for reminding me of my wonderful father and his family. Speaking from experience, the role you play as a role model for your daughters will guide them all their lives.
Best wishes to you and your girls đâ€
The fact the kestrel stepped up even though it didnât come naturally and he had to learn how to be good at raising his kids is so adorable.
Humans only had to step in and help a tiny bit too before the kestral figured out the routine. Still such a good birb dad
We can make a pixar movie outta this!
Mr. Kes really was an excellent dad! He successfully raised all six chicks that year!
@@karachristen6484 I loved the footage where the older kids are just chilling outside with their dad.
Right! He was determined to learn for his chicks.
"Are fathers really that necessary?"
My dad is absolutely necessary. Who else would provide me with the dad jokes I need in order to survive?
All of them Dad pans are essential for survival
if you can't get dad-grown, mom-bought is fine (my dad sucks but my mom is the funniest motherfucker I know)
Your comment is awesome. My Dad is with the Big Man Upstairs, but my stepdad is the true king of dad jokes. They're so bad, yet oddly heartwarming.
literally any other dad đ
ââ@@restezlamemeAlmost the same here. My father is a deadbeat loser that can't keep his dick in his trousers, but my stepdad was a secretive drug addict that quit everything cold turkey because he wanted to have sons so damn bad. It was his dream to have boys, and never had the chance before dating my mom. My mother broke up with him due to relapse, but he was still a huge part of our lives and she still cared for him. He never drank when he was around us, but they had arguments over his heavy drinking. He ended up relapsing to full on alcoholism after his own mother passed, and passed from alcohol poisoning. He loved his mother so much that he was completely lost without her. I hope he was reunited with her.
I RECOGNIZE THE KESTREL DAD!! His name is Mr Kes and he is the sweetest! We donÂŽt actually know what happened to the female, but he did somehow figure it out and learned to feed and brood the babies all on his own with some help from the rescuers! All of them made it to adulthood :D
We stan Mr. Kes
If I remember the video right, Mr Kes put it together when he brought a thinner piece of food (I think a lizard) that he had to tear up the food
Suspected mother Kestrel was iced by a local competing mother owl
@@miriamvlachoulis6875if I remember the female did come back at one point but she only sat by the entrance of the nest before Disappearing again because of one of the owls screeching
@@C6BaizhuHaver looks like I'm due for a rewatch
Fun fact about the kestrel, Mr. Kes, one of his hatchlings had remained in the area and he found a mate of his own. And HE actually would feed the chicks on occasion as well; a behavior that had never been documented before his dad.
Quite sad he passed away so fast after they hatched, itâs thanks to Jenny that the chicks made it to fledglings, the Kes family got some tough members
Jenny is still hanging around at Robertâs place, probably taking a break for the next season
To be fair, elephants do have a bit of a habit of bullying rhinos in general. Probably because they know they're one of like, two species that can actually get away with it.
No the only species. They've rolled plenty of tourist cars.
@@simplyrohith2163 ..I was referring to hippos as the second one. Kinda forgot humans can also do it.
It might be a more even dynamic, but hippos still have a habit of messing up rhino's days.
â@@purplehaze2358hippos do still have to be careful though, since rhinos can still fuck them up very easily
@@purplehaze2358 it's 50-50 between them ao yeah I can digest that. In India Hippos run from Rhinos, that's why I thought the 2nd would be humansđ€Ł
@@FortniteSexgamer6969 Well, yeah. Not saying they don't. But the fact they can get away with it if they're careful is still a big improvement over other animals they share their habitat with.
Was raised by a single father, he used to sing me to sleep, did my hair, picked out my clothes until I was old enough to do it myself AND he worked full time. He was a great dad and a great person
Edit: single moms are awesome too!
Same I honestly have so much respect for his hustle now that im getting older.
Iâm sorry for ur loss, youâre lucky to have him
Lucky you then.
damn condolences to your w dad â€
So your dad did what millions of single mothers do aka parenting. Congratulations
my dad is amazing. i grew up with an abusive mother. he worked from before i woke up to just before i went to bed, so he didn't see the abuse, but he often brought us home a little carton of chocolate milk, which we could have that night or the next day. he taught us to handle our emotions and understand them, he taught us to communicate our problems. he even took me to get my first proper bra because my mom, amy, wouldn't. i was 34DD by the time i got my first non-trainer bra. when he finally understood i was being abused, he started by taking me to work with him every day, since i was homeschooled and he owned a small shop. when the abuse became bad enough that i was going to end it all, he had me pack my things and we left in a literal car chase from her. we lived in the shop for 2 months, as he put me through driving school and looked for a place to rent. he BUILT a shower that connected to the sink for me to use. we got into a duplex just before Christmas. he drove me to every circus class, as i'd been taking classes for years, and every therapy appointment. he got me a dog to help with my mental problems, and held me through every breakdown and anxiety attack. when i learned i'm autistic, he helped me figure out what things i needed to live comfortably as i could and thrive in my own developing life. it's been five years now. he's happily divorced, i'm 21, on meds that work amazingly for me, my room is decorated with all the things i love, and i have my dad alone to thank for the stability in my life. and he's never once expected anything in return. i love my dad so much. and will spread the kindness and story he gave to me until the day i die.
Wow, that's so amazing that he did all of that. I hope you're both doing well currently!
your dad really is incredible, I see too many stories of kids getting abused by a parent and the other parent ignoring/making excuses for it, and being autistic myself i wish i'd had anyone who was that caring and understanding. your dad deserves all the happiness he can possibly get :)
this is really beautiful, i teared up. thank u for sharing
That's the most beautiful story I've ever heard. đ„č Props to your father for making you the woman you are today.
I wish my dad rescued me, I had 2 parents who completely failed. That makes me happy to hear that there are good dads out there.
12:39 There's something weirdly sweet and funny about the dad kestrel shoving the entire mouse into his chick's face, and the chick struggling to accept it. Dad truly was clueless, it's amazing he went against his nature to ensure his chicks' survival. Animals are always surprising us.
We had a litter of puppies but the dad got sick and had to be put down. His male siblings took over for him and taught them all sorts of play and "in house" lessons like 'doors can hurt' and 'nobody is better than mama'. So far, so good.
aww
As if the father would've even bothered to look after his own pups LOL
â@@KingKong-dq6kjYou obviously haven't spent time around dog parents. Which is fine. But your condescension is unwarrented.
â@@sophiedash4026fr
I'm sorry for the loss of daddy dog
My dad had a female cat that got pregnant the first time and produced his favorite cat who sired her second litter at like 9 mos old. This was in the mid 70s and the books said house cats couldn't father children at that age, but he never read the book.
BUT the important part of this story is that he watched the mother nesting and set up his own nesting box, waiting in it, and got depressed when he didn't have any kittens. Mama cat abandoned that second litter and dad, Sunny, stepped up and raised his kittens; grooming them, carrying them to the litter box, going into the kitchen and legit opening the bag of cat food (Remember when those paper food bags had that stitched top that unraveled when you pulled the correct thread? He figured out how to pull that thread by watching the humans) and scooping out pawfulls of food and dropping it on the floor, then he would call the kittens in to eat. He was an S teir dad and even let my sister and I play with him and would keep us in line, gently, in his golden years. He lived to be 19 or 20 yrs old. RIP Sunny, you were a wonderful boy.
RIP to him.
Amazing. Wanted to be a dad so bad he Oedipus'd himself
Rip Sunny
RIP you legend!!
RIP Sunny, that cat was a legend. Cats being fathers is more common then people realize though, we have two strays, sweety (female) and garfield (male) and the first litter she had with him we got the troublemaker sandy (male) and while he's friendly toward both parents, sweety... well that was probably her first litter and my guess is the stray dogs had a snack and that's why he's a single child, so she's only friendly with humans and not her family ^^'. Dad though? Most patient guy ever, lets everyone else eat first and spends a lotta time with his son with no complaints. Although there's definitely a percentage of male cats that see newborn kittens as prey because RIP two of my friend's kittens, but that's more a domestic then a stray issue afaik
When can cats actually have kittens though? 6-8 months but the younger the female, the higher chance of stunted growth, losing the litter and potentially losing the mother as well due to birth complications, which is why a full year is highly recommended, but it's not when they can actually breed since most creatures can breed before reaching full physical maturity
9:11 I love how calm the baby frog looks when he was puked into existence he's just like " oh, so this is life"
Baby: "Feed me Papa."
Dad: "My penguin in Christ, we're the same weight"
LMAO 13:44
I'm surprised you didn't mention Murphy, the bald eagle that tried to hatch a rock until he was given an orphan chick and he raised that by himself.
awwwwwh
The point is that that behavior is not very common with bald eagle males
I remember that! So crazy, but love Murphy! đđŠ
â@@AllTheArtsyNot Single male bald eagles. But mated male Eagles are super devoted fathers
I think he did do a video on Murphy actually. Im just not sure if it was before or after this video.
Wolves and penguins are truly the most noble. It's amazing to see how the presence of a father among elephants has the same effect as the father in humans! And I applaud you for mentionning Mr Kes, the kestrel who learned to raise his chicks when his mate disappeared. I've followed his story in Robert Fuller's channel. It was beautiful
Awe I'll have to look that up!! I wanna see it. Animals/birds/fish/amphibians/ even insects are so amazing!!! And Casual Geographic managed to salute them all! đđ©”đđ©·
Penguins.... yeah erm... might not want to look into the Adelie Penguins....
â@@KristenDilligafNice pfp
Same! I really love the work he puts into his channel with the amazing footage of his brooding box cameras. So fascinating to see!
@@michelvanderlinden8363 they bond a little too close
The daddy kestral story legit made me smile so much. Really needed that today.
Same, I also love their names (Mr.Kes and Mrs.Kes) and an update on his family his youngest son now has a family, his son is named Jeff, and Jeff's mate is Jenny. I believe they have 3 chicks right now
My father passed away over a decade ago. If anyone sees this, do NOT take any of the time you had with your father figure for granted, and tell them how much they mean to you. You never know when you'll lose that chance.
I wanted to put my two cents in and say that I donât think this m8 ever had a father. For the past several years he has been making video content on you tube over the âbrony fandomâ from my knowledge bronies are a sub set of âfurriesâ, it is common knowledge that over 50% of furries doesnât have fathers and/or male leading role models. Bronies are a group of adult individuals who enjoy the animated childrenâs show âMy Little Pony: Friendship is Magicâ . Which airs on discovery kids, the plot (according to Wikipedia) follows the kingdom of Equestria, its three species of ponies-earth ponies, pegasi, and unicorns-live harmoniously. Twilight Sparkle, a studious unicorn, travels to Ponyville to learn about friendship at the urging of Equestria's ruler (and her mentor) Princess Celestia. A poll token in November 2019 right after the series ended asked âif they know, how did your parents react to you becoming a brony?â over 90% said that they either never knew their father or that there father left them at a young age. Many of other studies have been conducted and I believe that 100% of adults who watch the show do not have fathers unless they are watching the show with there children.
âCrank's a helluva drug...
â@@redyearthe fuck is you babbling about dog
I lost my dad three years ago due to an ilness, it's really hard, Dad's are so essential in a child's development, I wish everyone has a chance to spend time with their dads and get to know them, even if they are already adults.
My dad was in his 50's when I was born - long story, wasn't intentional - and I am constantly pestering him to hang out, sending him things I paint (I think I'm mid but he loves my stuff), and checking on him to see if he's actually doing okay or if he's just downplaying his stressors and health problems again. The multi-generational gap makes it awkward between us sometimes because we grew up in very different eras, on different continents, and his parents were definitely not great role models for him so he sometimes just seems lost on what to do. But we make it work. I legit took psychology classes just to figure out how to communicate better with him and that's helped. I've always known I wasn't going to have him as long as other people have their dads.
Wildly enough, though, it was my health that failed first. In a 1 in 84 million chance, I developed bleeding duodenal ulcers at age 20 without it running in the family. I lost 60% of the blood in my body and flatlined for over a minute. And who was it that I saw when I first opened my eyes after emergency surgery, who had the foresight to grab my childhood favorite toy so I'd have something to hold onto for comfort in the hospital? My dad. Of course.
And then he'll tell you he's "okay-ish" at being a dad if you say he's a good dad.
Fathers are extremely essential! Trust me I grew up without a father đ
I had a team of 4 fathers design and assemble me. Iâd give you one, but they blew up with the factory I was built in
Are you good man if you need a hug I will be here
đDAMN
You're just being biased and only aware of your own personal trauma. Everyone thinks that their trauma was bad because it's all they know and all they can understand but trust me having no father can be a million times better than having a negative father figure influence
Mr Barry, with all due respect, shut up.
Sincerely yours, someone who understands the difference between a father and a father figure
"African wild dogs will actually let the pups feed first rather than have the most alpha male get first serves and have everyone else fall in line"
I mean, neither do wolves. Wolves only take on "alpha" like behavior in captivity because that's basically like putting them in a prison.
With some exceptions.
In Yellowstone one of the original mothers of the Druid Pack was 100% an alpha female.
To the point where the whole pack got fed up with her.
She tried to kill one of the other female's (who the "alpha male" got along with much better) third litter of pups after having been successful the previous two times.
This time though the other female fought back and the rest of the pack joined in. She was chased out of the pack and soon after died from her injuries.
Alpha behavior isn't as common in wolves as people think, but it is absolutely there.
While wolves in the wild tend to have less alpha behavior their is still an eating order/ hierarchy. The breeding adults are the first followed by the adult offspring and the pups are the last to eat. So it's remarkable that wild dogs will let the pups eat first.
People love to repeat that but frankly, wolves are animals that are smart and diverse enough that trying to generalize their behavior just doesn't work. Some wolf packs definitely have a clear hierarchy with the biggest wolf couple just bullying everyone else into submission and some definitely don't.
with no exceptions. The man who created the alpha omega dynamics later wrote a paper on why the terms are inaccurate, period. The terms are not factual and cannot be used in a formal setting, or make sense in the yt comments lol
I think the mean the breeding pair they kinda guide everyone
To me one of the most interesting cases of good vs bad fathers in other species is the fact that male wolves are excellent fathers (and mates) while male domestic dogs are nothing more than sperm donors because humans have taken on the coparent role. We provide the mothers with food and we help teach the puppies right from wrong.
Edit: I wrote this comment during the seahorse section, and damn I didnât know that coyotes and foxes were also great dads! Male dogs really are the only bad dads of the canine family.
Are they, though? I mean, if humans remove from dogs the ability to _be_ dads (that is, to stick around and raise their pups), how is that the dogs' fault? If we're going to evaluate whether or not dogs are good fathers, that would require you study what happens when father dogs get to _keep_ their kids around.
Male domestic dogs can be good fathers. I got a puppy a year ago. At first my dog who is male wasnât very happy to see another dog especially one that was energetic and would require a lot of attention by me. In a couple weeks he was cleaning her coat, playing with her and letting her eat before him. I have a photo of them and he looks like such a proud father while she looks like sheâs gonna go get into trouble.
They do. Stray Dogs are pretty decent Dadsâ@@foodie_nightos
My father is in prison, and i have a lot of bad memories of him, plus ptsd because of him. To the people who have or had good fathers, you're extremely lucky, and i wish mine was better than he was..
I witnessed my biological father try and take my mum off the census when I was 3 years old, my best friend's father was my dad, I turned out all right even if I do go see a therapist every week, I was lucky that I was able to find a good father figure some are not so lucky, just know you are appreciated
did you hear about Murphy the eagle, who adopted a rock? the poor guy was at a sanctuary because he couldn't fly.
they eventually noticed that he had built a nest on the ground, and was incubating a rock. once people started taking notice of this, the sanctuary was able to get a hold of an orphaned eaglet and introduced it to murphy [giving the impression that the rock "hatched"]. murphy immediately adopted the eaglet and is now looking after it :)
That's the cutest goddamn thing I've ever heard in my life đ„Č
This made me cry
That's so sweet that they got him a baby, I wonder if he still has the rock.
â@@Choshako I think they auctioned off the rock as a fundraiser.
He is really awesome in how he adopted the baby eaglet. Hopefully he'll also be willing to do it again if they ever have another baby eaglet.
It was weird how this was the first time he's done this & it's been years since that had an eaglet needing care. I think the baby was injured & that's why they couldn't just slip him into another nest.
I've seen chicks that were slipped into a nest by a man dangling from a helicopter.
Bald eagles a pretty good dad's too. I am surprised they didn't make it into this video.
I didn't have a good father. But I had an awesome grand dad.
Taught me how to build and fix things.
He's awesome. Lots of love to all the good fathers out there.
Thatâs all we need as kids :)
It just takes ONE person to give us unconditional love and guidance, one person we trust who shows interest and loyalty to us.
You didnât have a great dad but thank god grandpa stepped up.
There are many good men who are fathers out there.
I like to think your grandpa knew he failed to put his son on the right path, so he made it his life goal to ensure you are on the right path. Seems like he did an amazing job as you had many good memories with him
Putting the grand in granddad
so taught you that but nothing else & that makes a great father ?đ

It's interesting how Rheas are supposed to be such good fathers.

@@akio_kuro To kevin everything is a threat to him + his kids
Soulja Boy has been doing p well tho
I remember that kestral one from Roberts channel cause since the males aren't wired to know how to brood well they don't usually do it and it was his first brood of chicks so he was a inexperienced dad and watching him try to figure out how to do things a female can do was so adorable but he stepped up to the challenge and managed to raise all the chicks to adulthood granite a little helping hand from Robert as well
My father was the one to raise me. He didn't have to put in so much effort, but he did, with the only problem in our relationship being some SLIGHT emotional detachment. I rank him with Emperor penguins. 100% S+ tier father, and I love him so much
If you love him like this, then he has done his best.Nobody is perfect and I'm glad for you,
Hope you show him this appreciation once in a while and tell him how much you love him, the Gods know I missed my opportunity and I regret it quite a bit. :,)
Single fathers don't get much credit. My father raised me in the end. He's the best.
True, my dad was in my life much more than my mom and raised me all while working full time and barely getting any sleep, I love my dad so much and I wish fathers were celebrated as much as motherâs are
My dad is the goat my mum is dirt so glad we have dads out there like ours
My budgies had 7 babies. The father was so helpful, the female has to incubate the eggs, so the father has to feed her while she sits on her eggs. They take turns sitting on the eggs while the other eats and gets some flight time as well. It was so cool to see their dynamic. He was really patient while the babies were fledglings as well. He fed them when the mom was eating. So precious to witness their teamwork.
Reminds me of that one video with the hungry baby cockatiel who emits earbleeding screeches of doom until the dad shows him that he can just pluck the millet off and feed himself.
@@rainpooper7088 lol that's hilarious. I haven't seen that video. But definitely something the baby budgies did, they were flabbergasted when they learned from their parents the food was right in front of them, they didn't need to pester their parents for feeding.
Seven babies? Oh my goodness, congrats on so many grandchildren!
@@lovelandfrog5692 Thank you, it was their first clutch. Very unexpected. 8 eggs in total, and 7 hatched. All of the babies survived and are healthy. I kept 3. And gave 4 of them away. I already had 6 other parrots so, definitely gonna try to curb anymore clutches.
I have cardinals who visit my yard. Recently they brought out the youngins and the dad would fly to the feeder and bring back sunflower seeds for his baby
While my dad sucks, my grandfather definately doesn't. He's always cared for his kids and grandkids is every way, he raised my mother to be a great parent and person. He stepped up when my father stepped out, and I will forever be thankful for that. Grandpa is wonderful and I'd do just about anything for that kind, generous, cinnamon roll of a person.
The best part of this video was CG acknowledging some of us donât have a dad or parents. Lot of people forget about that during these holidays
I got a family of foxes living in my garden , 2 kits this year. We occasionally fed them leftover meat , cute seeing the dad trying to stuff it all in his mouth to take it back to the mother. Heâd let her take most of the food we left out.
Please don't feed wild animals
Please don't feed foxes. Foxes can kill cats in the area if they get an inking to, and letting them get comfortable enough around humans to expect food will only make them hunt for themselves less and become vulnerable to humans who might kill them. Let foxes stay wild.
@@rogueknight2459 Iâm very much aware , donât feed them anymore . Tho theyâve been going through mine & all our neighbours trash for years.
â@rachelfox8108 To be honest, foxes killing cats is quite awesome for the ecosystem. I love cats, have a rescue, but they are top tear when it comes local exctincion of anything smaller than them (eg frogs, birds, rats...).
â@@rachelfox8108keep your damn cats inside then. yall don't say this about the local bird populations being decimated by your cats
My husband is Nordic, and I was surprised by how involved Nordic dads were with their families. That's why I affectionately call them "penguins"
Well yeah, of course. Nordic dads sometimes won't eat for nine months because they keep their wives balanced on their feet the entire time. If they fall off and hit the ground, the fetus can die from the freezing cold in a matter of minutes. It's only when the babies are born that Nordic dads are finally able to dive under the ice to catch fish to eat.
That explains the lack of crime
Iâm fucking crying at the image if you calling some random Nordic dad a penguin oh my GOD.
Yeah American fathers are a defacto child and don't tend to be helpful or affectionate with their children and partner. Nordic men had at least a couple generations to unlearn patriarchal values (which is still not complete yet) but it led to more present, affectionate, capable adult father's.
U know that there r not any nordic penguins...or at least not naturally occurring
I've had domestic cat males that cared for kittens emotionally, taught them how to cat, and generally cared for them as far as physical needs. I know domestic felines are far from wild big cats, but it somehow doesn't surprise me that they're so similar in this way sometimes.
This same male I'm thinking about the most regarding caring for kittens was a stray I cared for as he grew. He later had his own litter with my landlord's lady cat haha. I knew they were his as his was a ginger Maine Coon mix with a very specific genetic tail deformity that passed down to the kittens.
Either way, his favorite charge was a kitten I'd taken in after trying to catch his litter mates for ages. They slowly disappeared with only him left when I finally got to him. The male would babysit to the point of following the kitten around my apartment and immediately alerting me if he got behind appliances and places he shouldn't be or could get hurt, or he'd rescue the kitten himself. He'd cuddle, groom, and reallt just stuck with the kitten as any bonded family member, despite being unrelated. It was so cute. He was such a good boy.... I miss him dearly.
That was wholesome. đ
An entire video to put my father to shame, fantastic job as always!
For those of us with bad dad's its up to us to be the good Fathers we never had.
My pregnant cat didn't realize what was going on when she started giving birth, so she kept walking around the yard popping kids out along the way, and the poor father was the one who went around collecting them and bringing them back to his hidey hole.
Imagine if that happened with humans. Your wife just walks around dropping babies and you need to go grab them.
Awww, poor dad and mama! Did the kittens find good homes?
@@genericname2747 The male cat: "Ah, yep excuse me that one's mine... Yeah my wife sort of just drops them anywhere."
As a recently turned single dad this made my day.
happy fathers day! drink some water and enjoy yourself :)
Stay strong and it'll be worth it! You're amazing!
hope your doing great broski
Happy Father's Day dude
Happy Father's Day! Take care of yourself
Shoutout to all the amazing Dads out there! Thanks Fathers for all you do to protect, provide, and support your kids!
12:50 did more for his kids than my dad
Lost my Dad to age almost a year ago, he had his flaws but I know he cared. This was a sweet episode of yours to watch.
May he rest well
This w a s my second Father's day without mine as well. It gets better, I promise.
The fathers that aren't usually father's are pretty amazing. The male kestrel who raised his chicks wasn't born with the instinct to do all that stuff - he figured it out! Because he cared!
I lost my father at 12 years old, I went from being the most innocent warm hearted little boy to being angry at the world and getting in so much trouble. As an adult Iâve remembered the little things my father taught me in my short but best times of my life till this day, those little things he taught me have allowed me to become the very best man I can be to another little boy whoâs Dad didnât want to be around.
This vid is like an entire semester of animal biology in 15 minutes! All the best examples and variations and of course both empathy and humor.
Those of us who bear the title of âDadâ have a huge responsibility to our children, and I will do absolutely anything for them(same for my wife, but this is a video for dads). We need to step it up in the worst way, and I know a lot of men have to deal with poor or absent fathers, but we need to break the cycle and make a better world for our children
Can you adopt me or at least teach my dad the meaning of being a dad and husband?
@@pisces2569 I can certainly teach him, or at least try
It's always heartwarming to see good dads out there setting new standards
"new" standards excuse me only standard needs to be set is some appreciation for the already existing fathers. this is a father's day video and this whole comment still manages to $hit on dads. i guess only the future dads are worth existing. us single dads rn giving up everything for our kids are just exceptions to the standard, huh. well I'm glad we could warm your hearts so you can look down on us as a whole.
@@pisces2569 Your mom chose a wrong one.
There are a lot of good fathers in the animal kingdom. I only expected seeing the cassowary and seahorse and a random addition, but I'm surprised how many W dads there are in the animal kingdom.
I know there are some humans that can't relate to this video for the life of them. Also I just finished highschool today so this video really brightened my day further. Thanks for existing and giving us animal facts.
Thank you and congrats on graduating!
@@mndiaye_97 Thank you â€ïž
Congrats on finishing highschool! Itâs been quite a while for me, but leaving that school (and all the jerks in my class) behind counts as one if the best days in my life. =)
your message at the end of the vid for those that donât have fathers and/or mothers was so genuinely wholesome, I loved it so much. this vid singlehandedly cured my daddy issues.
My dad left two weeks ago. Fathers day was kinda rough for me. Thanks for making dope vids to help me through. Have a great one man.
Not trying to be rude here brother, why do you think he did? It strikes me as odd, as to how some men do that
Fathers need more love and open appreciation †As much as we praise mothers for their sacrifices, we should also praise fathers in the same manner for their's.
*theirs
tell them not to abandon their children then
@@LuluGen689 Tell that to mothers then.
@@calebgadison167 fathers abandon children mothers don't
@@LuluGen689 Yeah right!
I cannot get over how this guy describes things. Blueberry flavored paralysis chicken had me in stitches. đđ
Man my dad is the best. We lost my mom when I was 12 and he had to change so much to adapt. I know a lot of people don't have a good dad in their lives. I wouldn't have survived without mine. â€
12:00 recently a study or report showed that male tigers actually check in on the families of female tigers in their territory.
Providing food was never mentioned, but peaceful interactions did happen.
Also I love having a consistent theme for the episode!
He seems to have gotten into the groove of having themed videos for CZcams, itâs great to see how much Casual has grown here on CZcams.
I always love your videos. My dad passed away when I was 18 months old. But I always had this dream about him...I was a baby in a diaper laying on his bare chest playing with his gold rope chain. Well I recently turned 36 & I found a picture of exactly that. It wasn't just a dream... it was a memory!!!
Had to pause the video to sob because of this comment. All I want is to be a good dad, despite having no role model growing up.
@@greymealer3687 I'm sure you'll make a great dad...
Wow man, you have a crazy ability to recall the past from such an early age...
The oldest memory from my childhood that I can vividly remember, is from when I was like five years old đ
12:15-12:50 had me tear up a little. I wasn't widowed but I was in the same kind of situation. It wasn't natural to me, but I learned, for the sake of my baby's survival and well-being.
I hope you don't feel guilty for parenting not coming "naturally" to you. Human beings aren't like animals, we don't instinctively know what to do for our kids like animals do, human parenting takes research and trial-and-error, mistakes will be made sometimes and that's okay. It's very brave of you to do all that on your own, and sweet that your child was your motivation for enduring it.
Parenting does really come naturally. I think some people just pick it up as they grow up. But the rest read books, talk to their parents, talk to experts & Google a shit ton of things ever since Google was invented.
I'd hope I'd be the same as you if I had my own kid. But between all the meds I take & simply not wanting my own I haven't had any & I'm happy with that.
But my mom & I had my older sisters kids from very young & I do adore kids. Especially the little ones. We'd end up with my niece& nephew, my cousins two & my sister's friends kids on new years eve all night & well into the next day.
Good thing I brought my friend too. That was fun for us & the parents really appreciated being able to go out & party while knowing their kids are well taken care of. I hope to continue on with the next generation as well.
That part got me close to tearing up, too!
For the level of research you put into these videos coupled with the perfectly timed puns/jokes you deserve a tv along with an award for the work you've already done!
Very sad that my dad's a dick. Great work to all the dedicated fathers out there, single parents too! Y'all deserve the world for being there, I'm sure your children appreciate the hell out of you!
Yes, fathers are necessary for humans. Not just to make the baby, but to raise a well balanced and stable offspring. We are humans, capable of being more than the animal bodies we have. We can be better than our ancestors, so do it and don't set your children up to fail.
Your comment makes me want to contact the kid I ditched 5 years ago... he would probably hate me though
Not to be that lesbian but...
If fathers are so vital, why do Lesbian families produce happier, healthier children on average?
Role models are important to teach you how to behave. Ain't nothing specific a father can do that another role model can't.
@@serenity1378 but how do lesbians make babies? Yâall got vegan babies đ
@@trashjunglr786 Some of us are trans. We can make babies without you. You're not as smart as you think you are.
â@@serenity1378 was about to say this. What is important is a stable household. Lgbtq+ couples are on average far happier and that trickles down to children they raise
Honey, I love the way you promote family. And a love for nature in all it's forms. We live where there are a lot of coyotes, so I get to see a lot of interesting behavior. Once saw a "family outing," of mom, dad, and two pups, out in a field hunting mice and rats, and who knows what, but it all was first time hunting small things for the kids. Every time the littles caught anything, the parents acted like it was the greatest catch of the day. They pretended to fight over it, and then gave it back. They flushed another mouse out, and pretended to fumble it so the pup could get it. It probably lasted all day, I had to do something else after an hour. At one point, the dad stalked his child to lunge and wrestle the kid down so he could hug and kiss the little guy, which is the same thing I used to do with my kids. Happy father's day to all the cool dads who raise cool kids.
5:30 THATS KEVIN!
No thatâs Karen
My blood father was a monster. My stepfather... was very far from perfect, but I'm glad he set some structure in my life. Shout out to stepfathers too.
Thank you for this wonderful video, CG~
The casual geographic Father's day special and special thanks to all those dads of the animal kingdom rasing their kids like a good single dad
12:27 Happy to see Mr Kes on this list! I remember seeing that video wondering what happened to Mrs Kes. đ
It's honestly sad that the pair is gone now, Mr.Kes really showed that he was capleable of caring for his chicks. He is surely the best father as a kestrel
R.I.P. Mr. Kes & Mrs. Kes â€
Aww. This one was so wholesome! I have an absolutely incredible Dad. He doesnât say much, but he is constantly doing acts of love for me. He has made so many sacrifices for me and always tried to be patient and understanding, while never sharing his own burdens. Thereâs no way to pay him back in this life. All I can do is thank him, give him kisses and hugs, and make plans to give him the best care possible when he gets old enough to need it. â€â€â€
A friend of ours had a cat drop her babies on their doorstep and only occasionally come to visit them. Once they decided to catch her and get her to the vet for spaying, and it turned out the she was actually a he. The daddy cat brought his kids to a home where he knew they would be loved. I saw those kittens a couple of times and their dad got it right
happy dad's day and seriously, thank you to all father's out there who stick it out with their kids. As someone who went half his child hood without one, its much appreciated!

Jacana birds also have good fathers as well. The mothers would leave the chicks in the fathers care and when sensing a threat, the father would take his chicks to safety by carrying them under his wing, almost like little suitcases :)

Itâs common for Roosters and Ganders to be good dads. Individual personality has a lot of influence on this as not all of them are, but many ganders and roosters will assist in nest building, sometimes incubation, protecting the eggs and hatchlings, showing them where to find food, brooding them, and protecting them.
You're sweet, and while the sting is less sharp, I'm missing my dad, thank you for your thoughtful words to us all. Happy Father's Day audience.
That little blurb at 3:28 had me laughing harder than I should.
I am a proud father. Love my kids and family, but things have been tight lately, so I seriously needed that lol. Thank you!
I appreciate your efforts as I am aware of the struggles my own father goes through to put food on the table for me and my siblings but still puts in time to have fun with us. So please, keep being a great father to your family and I hope you have a great father's day.

Crazy how a penguin got a better dad than any instagram model lmao đ
Idk but listening to this while watching my sons eat breakfast literally made me cry a little . This a good Fatherâs Day gift thank you bro â€ïž
You're such a loving, good man. Really, you're entertaining, funny and all that, but more importantly your heart and head's at the right place. Hope you have a good summer!!
major respect for the second to last father, bro had to learn how to mother and he persevered
I am *SO* glad you included Mr. Kez story in this i loved watching his story on the robert E.fulner channel and you adding it made me so happy thank you đđ
Sadly he has been missing a long time now and i think hes presumed dead but his legacy and kids will live on đđŠ
It was Mr. Kes I believe. May his legacy at being the best dad live on in his progeny.
Another great bird of prey dad to note is the Male American Bald Eagle, M15 from the SWFL Eagles Cam. After his mate, Harriet disappeared early into his latest batch of kids, E21 and E22's lives, M15 single handily raised, fed, and protected them against the likes of several Female Bald Eagle intruders, and even Great Horned Owl Attacks on the nest at night until they're old enough to have successfully fledged on their own and flew away to begin their lives into adulthood.
yeah I'm surprised he mentioned Mr. Kes' story. IIRC that was the first time a male kestrel was ever recorded/documented raising his kids solo, granted with significant help from Robert Fuller.
M15 is amazing! It's heartbreaking that he lost Harriet, and he was already a good dad, but the way he stepped up as a single dad to raise E21 and E22 was awesome.
It is amazing how quick Mr.Kes learned to care for his chicks, Now we have a chance to see his youngest chick, Jeff take the role of father
Regarding that kestrel story, he did get help from humans, so the chick's didn't die, but only some feeding he got it down soon, and all the chicks made it. I loved that whole story.
5:10 Kevin needs to take some notes. đ
That bird of prey learning how to care for his kids as a single dad is incredibly impressive to me
5:36 that capybara simply wanted to help
Thank you for the note to the Dad's mine passed away just a couple years ago and he was the world to me. He was a great dad. And I agree, we don't get enough videos, thinking dad's for all the things they teach us and do.

Being a father is an incredibly thankless but rewarding endeavor. The shoutout is appreciated.
It's fascinating to see some of these cases of the father's learning how to mother due to their mate getting their soul evicted. It really goes to show that there's much more to an animal's life than just instinct.
I love Mr. Kes đ The guy watching them had to step in and provide food once or twice, but Mr. Kes did everything!

I'm keeping Australian desert gobies so it was neat to see the gobies in the vid! Mine just hatched his first couple eggs! Except mom is chasing the poor bebes around the tank trying to eat them. And dad did a great job fanning his eggs (usually you have to remove the eggs cause dad doesn't fan enough I guess), but once they hatch, he's done. She's going to have to go on a time out I think. đ
