Great job filming it.
Nature is so beautiful! but so cruel!
God's way of balancing??
Peewewyyywr
Mother Nature is a beautiful psychopath.
These are terrible parents. Their chicks should have been taken away by social services long before all this happened.
The moment the first chick started to jump, my gut twisted.
When she got the first bounce to the rock, my tear poured out
The other 2 chicks didn't survive, my heart's broken.
It hurts 10x than when breaking up with boyfriend.
But still want to thank for sharing and make my heart broken :(
If someone told you to jump off a cliff, would you?
Baby geese:
i commit suicide if they wanted too
That’s really not fun t
Donald Trump death is hilarious inset it
@Donald Trump death can die hard
@Donald Trump sorry maybe i watch too much horror or bad thing
Put some respect on that 3rd chick. It saw its siblings die and still jumped that 400ft rock down.
Not sure they have brains like that
He was suicidal, but didn't succeed
Oh thankyou spoiler
It didnt know the siblings are dead, he was probably thinking they were enjoying happy meal down there where mamma also went. So he had to jump.
Karls Biscaydak it was down in the comments u looked down if you dont want a spoiler then dont
There's a lot of insane survival strategies in the World, but this has to be one of the most brutal, just get hatched, drop 200 meters, fight off ravens and roll in ice until you hit a rock to stop.
Happy one of them survived, hope it reach adulthood. I so admire the parents for their love and effort to keep their DNA going..
Except not enough effort to keep their DNA going by just watching their chicks potentially fall to their doom. I wonder if they're physically incapable of carrying their chicks one by one on their backs and lowering them down.
"only around 50% of chicks make it through the first month"
I can see why...
Afterthought
Only the ones on the mountain
this is second third
Why?
“..during college year”
Kekw
Imagine sitting on eggs for a month just to see them hatch and free fall to their death
Quite a number of parents are like that ^^;
Like anti vaxxers

you're a genius thanks
Poor mom fought to protect her baby, but she lost😢.
As my math teacher used to say 'Those that are stupid will die'.
Human kids falls off chair: crying like no other!
Baby chick falls like a billion feet: I'm good
Humans have it easy.
Cus when grown to like child is able to defend itself.
But most humans are..... Well... Uhmm idiots? I mean some people doesnt believe in things that saves their lives.
Like "Cool kids" think that seatbelts are for lamers... Yeh no people these days well a few of people only think of being the first to die by doing stuff like those..

Huge huge respect to the team who shoots the amazing shots. Beautifully explains the hostility & cruelity of planet..
😍
The planet is not hostile and cruel. Or nurturing. It just is.
nah, struggle for supremacy. that is a feature of this planet
imagine surviving that fall only to get caught by a predator
Pretty sure that actually happened so they had to go and record a second set of geese because it was an unsatisfactory ending.
JengaTower911 thats how the first chick died
Nah, as in this was the second set they recorded but in the first set all the chicks were eaten by a fox. I think that was a thing that happened.

I felt bad for it but LMFAO
I couldn't take my eyes off this video. Only one geese chick survived. Too sad, but life goes on... Thanks for uploading it.
What this is, is a very great showcase of how "size" matters a lot when you drop from a very high point. Kurzgesagt made a video about it, explaining in detail how something that's very small can be practically immune to any fall damage.
It's not size, doofy, its weight. You need someone explaining such simple fears of physics and biology?
Smaller, lighter bodies mean smaller impact which means smaller absorbtion. If a human drops 2 meters into a lake you'll get a splash. If an elegant does you get half the lake displaced.
Impact, weight, size.
@@captainp.2721You want to be a smartass, but you yourself use the word "small".
@@AnnaMarianne you have failed elementary reading comprehension. He didn't use the word " small" wrongly. He used " size" wrongly.

Omg when it hit the ground and didn't move my heart was punctured by pencils

Baby geese: Falls and survives the impact amazingly
Crow: Five second rule

Nice and tender now too.
That mamma goose could just have stayed with the chick and protectet it insteat of going rampage on that crow xD guess she didn't think that far

“It survived”: 😃
“But is dangerously exposed”: 😞
I feel Bad for them
Meanwhile the scrawny derp headed one brain damaged itself to victory
Probably the crow was just like the witch in Rapunzel and wanted a child by his one. I like to think that the crow was a loving Mama to this little chick :D
@Anonymously Yours if u see in perspective of crow it's no wrong!,
If the mother isn't dumb enough to attack the attacker and leave her chick but just give it all away at the end.
1/3 survives
Mom: “We did alright honey.”

Lmao
Meatloaf would not be impressed
Votesk lol I would have thought
Okay, mother nature dropped the ball on this one. That survival skill really needs to be re-evaluated😳😶
It brings to mind something I heard, that nature does not care about getting it right, just making sure it's good enough.
Their life is literally an inspiration. How they dodge a near certain death is fantastic...

Sounds like every shonen anime character.
They dont think much unlike us
Wow just incredible… they still left him behind to catch up with swimming
Main Protagonist requirements i guess
He walked it off like it was nothing as well
i swear i lost some of my soul everytime they hit a rock

Yes sister
I sold my soul for at least one to survive now I have no soul send help

@@jozkomrkvicka1281 lmao
i wasn't even worried one bit just look at how much a baby geese weigh?
they are not heavy enough to die from falling. they hit terminal velocity immediately so that means they will never fall fast enough to die.
This is really upsetting to watch sadistic even esp the narrator's voice .....
Omg, the chick survives a 400m jump and then it just gets eaten, can’t catch a break
😭😭😭😭
Heartbroken at angry to that crow 🤬😡😠 ☹️😢😭
its 400f not 400m pfft
🤣 crows gotta eat too
*wasted* 😭
Each hit and damage the chicks took stopped my heart beat
It’s so sad that the siblings were taken away while 1 chick remained😢
Chick: *Falls*
Aye I survived-
Crow: Na fam say goodbye to your family

i hope that crow has a long slow death
@@fionaw3838 it would have if it didn't feed...
Or what if the crow was actually like “omg what a terrible mom to just let her babies jump from a cliff! You’re coming with me!” & then she takes the lil baby birdy to her nest to raise as one of her own
Did anyone else yell "NO!" as they saw the crow take that chic?
Okami no as that’s just how life works, some die some live, it’s impossible for everything to live.
@@ShroomChoom I'm fully aware of how life works, but it doesn't seem like you understand the concept of optimism and cheering for things to make it.
@@Kakashi713 Agreed. I totally wanted him to live since he just survived an insane fall.
No.
@@Kakashi713 Yikes, be careful burning people so badly.
I amazed by seeing the fall from 4oon foot , still one chick survive . Nature is the best teacher indeed.
I love watching the baby fly off the cliff and survive. I saw this as a meme with Pink Floyd's "Is There Anybody Out There" playing in the back and it was so silly to see the little baby falling for so long and survive like it had just fell off a small step. So cute and glad it made it safely to the bottom to be reunited with its mother.
The 3rd and last chick
MAIN CHARACTER INTENSIFIES
Could it be the legendary Plot Armor made by Nature?
That third chick will become Hokage one day. Believe it!

Imagine if they met another geese that wasnt this species and the geese that survived was like “hey i fell down a 400ft cliff when i was a day and a half old”

I know, but it’s the way of life. Everything lives and dies. Also I was trying to light the mood
i know but i dont care period
I’m sorry to disappoint
im wondering what the dad goose was doing while the rest of his family was having a crisis
He went to buy cigarettes in the closest gas station
He went to the crack house and got high
Classic dad
The dad was at the top, the chicks only fallow their mom to my understanding
Create more probably with another girl

Oh, just me
yes....i feel sick now....

i m thoroughly broke from inside by watching this. i wish i was at the place at that time and catched them all, protected them from the crows, and safely leave the whole family where they wanted to go. 😥😭
Me too
My parents are looking pretty good all of a sudden
ironically that was the best option. Didn't you see how hard the mom tried to save the first one and then the last one especially. If they didnt put them on the cliffs the foxes would've eaten all of them
😂😂😂😂
They were always, but u hadn't that feeling to feel that hidden love.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😅😅😅😅😅😅
😁🙊
I was so glad when it landed on the ❄️ snow.
These little poor guys know how hard life can hit, just when they come out of their nest 😢
My heart was pounding through the whole entire footage.
And throught your entire life
Still wondering what the parents said to them before leaving them up there . . . . one by one they jumped ! So young, yet so obedient ! Still, humans claim to be smarter than them all.
Nature kinda f*kd up on this one.
Tell me about it fuuuu
No it s darwinism at its finest actually
@Informed Optimist the ones who let nature control them.
@Informed Optimist I suppose if you want to keep the human race small and at the mercy of the "Current" ecological balance. Since it is ever-changing. But were not mere animals in the same sense a dog is, as we can achieve quite a bit more. But if were going to keep going forward we just need to learn to control what we can't currently. If that requires taking two steps back to jump I'm fine with that. But not to regress or be complacent to have no impact. 99% of species to live on earth are extinct with no help from humans. It's how life works, things change. I say we make sure we don't end up on the list, because we can. But let's not delude ourselves into thinking that humans are the only ones who impact our enviroment, everything does, and it would continue to change without us here.
@Informed Optimist who cares. When humans go extict, no one will be complaining stfu.
That's literally a leap of faith🫣🫣🫣
