Taken From Blue Planet II
This bold cinematic experience takes viewers on a magical adventure across the greatest, yet least known, parts of our planet - our oceans. Since Blue Planet aired in 2001, our understanding of life beneath the waves has completely changed. Travelling from the icy polar seas to the vibrant blues of the coral atolls, this series shares these astonishing new discoveries. Meet the strange octopuses lurking in the depths of the Antarctic Ocean. Watch giant trevally fish leap to catch birds in mid-air. And ride on the back of a hammerhead shark as it attacks. Inspiring awe and wonder, Blue Planet II reveals surprising new places, charismatic new characters and extraordinary new behaviours.

Today I learned that baby puffins are called pufflings, which is the most adorable name I've ever heard.
They're called chicks, actually. In the field, I have never heard the term "puffling".
@@bigguy7353 like duck 🦆 chicks are called ducklings. Similarly, puffin chicks are called puffling.
well baby platypus are called puggles
@@HogBurger really? Puggles???
@@Spike_The_Beach_Buddy yes, PUGGLES
That takeoff from the ocean's surface was incredible.
The feet-over-head landing was spectacular.
Flap flap flap from the water then runs above it then takes off like a runway
Yes , that was beautiful .... I was curious also , as to how they will begin their flight .....
Yes
The way puffins interact with one another is adorable...
Oh yes
PUFFIN KISS 😘 SO CUDDLY AND KEWT
Amos, seriously shut the eff up. My family is so tired of being assaulted by your children

Hats off to the camera crew.
Mad respect for Puffin Dad. Mans has to get into dogfights everyday to hustle the food home.
That grindset is mental.
they are going alternate days for food hunt!!!
5 square meals a day for his little one. Come hell or high water, the man will get it done. Mad respect.
@@amosmaka6030 5 square meals. Each meal takes 3 hours round trip. 5x3 = 15 hours of finding food for the puffling? How about the adult puffins? When do they eat? What do they eat?
The mom and dad take turns.
Ohhh dear, my words fail me to describe how perfectly the camera, edit, sound, theme, and ofc, the script worked together. What a brillant piece of work.
how about the voice
They're all paid actors
I like the theme too
So Sad, you only appreciate (notice) the delivery guy !!!
@Stellvia Hoenheim never seen a natgeo, discovery, BBC in action? Poor thing you're living a concrete world.
It's really fascinating to know that the Puffins could swimming underwater, such adorable creatures ❤️🦅🐧
Yeah
How else are they going to catch fish?

The voice of Sir David Attenborough , just takes it to another level.
Yes/..u r r8.
Shame he's become another climate looney.
@@bigguy7353 Nah, im proud of him. Either way, if you care about the political opinion of the guy so much that you feel ashamed just listening to his voice then you're the looney not him XD
@@bigguy7353 Every person with functional brain and eyes can see that whole Earth and climate is screwed because of humans but some dumbasses chose to play "I decided to be dumb and blind so I can't see the problem"
@@kookykoruc1827 What's political about Earth being destroyed due to some greedy careless idiots?
I wished for a flying penguin and its perfect
Well they’re not related to penguins sooo..not really.
@@kahanuermeyas-tulu4056 Huhhhhhh By the look
@@kahanuermeyas-tulu4056 But one certain puffin managed to fool the penguins that he's a flying penguin.
@@kahanuermeyas-tulu4056 You must be fun at parties
Their like the parrots of the sea
The ending describing the state of our seas breaks my heart.
Made me so sad
Feel like this flew over a lot of peoples’ heads.
You should watch the complete documentary!!! It's unbearably magnificent and eye-opener. It has so much more messages about the current condition of our nature, especially once that involves ocean, and I still remember every single one of them due to how heartbreaking (but also gives hope!) and educative they are.
@@moonhajung6742 I have seen the full versions of most of these. I try to look at the hopeful end of it, but it still is heartbreaking nonetheless.
@@moonhajung6742 😞
The father and mother puffin interacting is love.
The amount of adorableness and wonder in this video is amazing. The word "puffling" is brilliant. The way the male and female honk at each other and click beaks before the dad sets off is so sweet.
TRUE ...... That's Beautiful .
This is the reason why nature needs to be protected, for these adorable creatures to survive,
Setuju
That is so true
As adorable puffins are, even creatures that aren't "cute" for the average person, must be protected, as they are as much as important. And the reason why nature needs to be protected, is because every creature has its role for a balanced ecosystem, and a balanced ecosystem ultimately affects us people in our survival. Without the environment and the beings that live within, we can't live, but most people don't seem to care about that when degrading our own birthplace, Earth, which also happens to be currently the only planet we can live.
A baby puffin is a puffling? That just made my day.
Puffin can walk Puffin can fly Puffin can swim I wish i was a puffin
You wish you were able to transform into a puffin and a human Cuz you have intelligence and natural abilities

Is there another place on the internet, TV or wherever, where you can get goosebumps, your heart racing, cheering out loud, jumping from joy AND crying in one video? I. DON'T. THINK. SO.
Yeah, planet earth rocks!
Oh wow, that's my cousin Steve! Haven't seen him for ages! Can't wait for the family reunion!
Say hi to Steve for me, please!! I've been wanting to befriend him since Blue Planet II released on 2017 😭💓
@Sawadee Bich no, that's our annoying neighbour - Leonard. He's not too lucky or bright, but he's a nice fella in general.
Oh hey there!
aw
The way the Puffins interact are so wholesome, Thank you for showing this BBC!
did you not watch the whole video? They get robbed by the arctic birds
I was cheering at the end when he made it safely back with the fish after running the gauntlet. What an amazing and beautiful bird.
The fact that every puffin here has been a puffing themselves is just amazing to think about, and how much each of them depend on teamwork and determination to succeed in taking care of their chicken.
Aa typos I meant to say "chick" lol
@@thunderee6780 chicken also works, kinda
I like chicken better 👍
What a beautiful creature. It must be a monumental undertaking to capture such magnificent footage.
Who cares about the footage and camera appreciate nature
TRUE ..... Such an enormous task .....
@@MB-sj2yu What are you saying sir .... To identify , and follow a bird , living in a cliff , ..... in to the Sea , ....for miles without losing him from the sight , ..... Keep following him Meticulously through his rough day , .... tackling pirates ,.....and their tactful Manoeuvres , dodging the stronger birds ..... And then Follow them back ......All in the Sea !! Oh what a Laborious task it must be ..... !!! I couldn't refrain from Praising the makers of this Video , and admire it alone ..... !!
Bird hunters : 🥩🤤🤤🤤
Imagine flying 62 miles to get your fish stolen by top gun birds
Adorable name - ✔ Amazing looks - ✔ Monogamy - ✔ Amazing parents - ✔ Gods at flying - ✔ Gods at floating - ✔ Gods at swimming - ✔ Gods at diving - ✔ Fish diet - ✔ Cold temperatures is its native biome - ✔ If I'm ever reincarnated I want to be a puffin .-.
Polygamy can be good too. Especially when raising young.
they are not gods at floating, flying, swimming and diving. In fact, no one except god is a god. and gods should not be a word. And fish are better than them in swimming, humans and penguins are better than them in diving, ducks are better than them in floating, peregrine falcons are better than them in flying.
@@thedictationofallah Who's rustled your jimmies recently, sheesh?! _"Show me on this doll where they hurt you..."_ comes to mind.
@@anaalina5964 clearly not for Puffins or humans unless you know better than mother nature.
@@sc3961 THey are mediocre at best at most of the stuff they are doing.
This video shows the love of parents for their child
Its just instincts. Its not love.
You think God never put in them any love? Harsh! All creation moan and mourn for apperaring of God's children, Apostle Paul prophesied.
@@02skimmy not sure what is this God thing you are talking about but we do love each other.
@@puffin20 You never know the Creator God who is LOVE? You'd better 'cause you are created after His image. You have your spirit that you can't find in an animal. I don't know why humans are so hostile to God in these days. Is that good science to remove God from your thoughts and the nature? Think again. He will judge all the unbelieving souls soon, some day.
@@02skimmy The joke Your head
Omg the chase is CRAZYYYY And the puffin family is too cute 😭😭😭
can you imagine how exhausted they can be when they arrive back to the nest with / if any food at all after all dive and search and that aerial dog fight all along the route above all they look and behave so cute:)
Yeah and not only that, resurfacing out from the water is really difficult because their feathers are fully soaked, making them heavier than before they dived in
@@bawlstars7857 nature shaped them for thousands of years, i'm confident they have grease secretion on the feathers that provoke their feathers to become soaked with water( like geese do). otherwise their species would never survive till present day
Top Gun for birds
I was today years old when I found out baby puffins are called pufflings
Mother's affection brought tears to my eyes
My sister had a little sign in her car that said "no puffin" it was a puffin with a red X over it. It meant "no smoking". Lol.
@Stellvia Hoenheim You seem nice. Go away.
Haven't seen one of those in many, many, many years!
It's crazy to me that they can fly, swim and walk on land. I cant think of any animals that can do this
and dig underground too
Duck and other bird can do that too
Ducks. Geese.
dogs
cockroach/j
Imagine being that one Puffin that was just about to make it home only for it to get snatched, I can only imagine the pain.
And it's dozens of miles away from home to the feeding ground and home again... :(
😞
@@moonhajung6742 Hundreds of miles now cus of overfishing, nature is cruel yet beautiful
imagine the fish spending years growing up, only to be killed by a puffin
😓😓😓😓😓😓
Puffin is as close of an image as one can get to penguins flying
Ok for a bird that is basically a cross between a penguin and a duck, I gotta say that a Puffling is THE CUTEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN with the name to match. Oh my god my heart.
Its amazing to see emotional bonding in animals how they care for family and put life in danger for them. They had to feed chick five times plus also had to make trips to feed themselves.
dozens of miles of trips every single day.... 😭
Can fly, can walk, can swim Lovely creature 😍
The ways she waits for him ❤
The greatest thing about David Attenborough and the BBC is being introduced to animals and places you never knew existed. His documentaries are legendary.
1:19 I must go, my people need me.
The other puffin: Take care
Those pufflings are one of the cutest animals I’ve seen yet!
Geez! I’ll never look at a trip to the grocery store the same again!
3 Hours just to get food for the family? The Father Puffin's dedication is extraordinary💗
5:35 - when you clench your fists and start screaming "GOOOO!!! GO PUFFIN!! GOOOO"
6:31 she look so worried for her man. I love it.
Knowing how skua feed themselves, I knew they were very maneuverable in the air but holly molly, that was something else! What an impressive bird.
30% of the video Me: "awwww so sweet and so cute" 70% of the video Me: "No no no no no no!!!" "Fly puffin! fly faster!" "You evil thief skuas!"
I love the chase part it felt like an action movie of these birbs
Great skuas love to drown other sea birds to steal their food 😬 think these ones got lucky...
100km round trip to get one fish for your newborn baby that gets stolen at your own doorstep. I don't think i've ever felt that emotionally invested in a random bird in my life. 4:53 was sad as hell.
You obviously must be like 15 then and haven’t lived life yet
@@MB-sj2yu What are you on about? Do people who have "lived life", whatever that means, have emotional reactions to nature more than 15 year olds? This show has stunning cinematography and Sir David's storytelling is incredible, how could anyone not be invested.
@@itsWelshy just because something looks nice doesn’t mean it is, I never once said the production was bad if so show me where I said that? And idc if a show has the best production in the world it won’t make me invested it’s the storyline that will get me invested and this storyline is just regular nature ( prob half of it is set up for production value ) but anyways what I mean but you have too lived life is that life isn’t all great, male loin Dads sometimes kills their own cubs and I’m going going to cry and be emotionally invested because the camera angles are great? No I’m not because that’s how nature is, just like in human nature sometimes people just kill other for fun, you’ll learn once you get older
@@MB-sj2yubruh stop acting like you're old and shit because you didn't feel empathy for a bird, literally nobody cares stop begging for attention
"This puffin cus I'm stuffin for your puffin muffin"
Just give me the beak, you puffin freak!
I wanna see Boobies...like we're in a B movie!
Even adorable puffins are getting screwed by the destruction of the our oceans :(
i didn’t realize they could fly… seeing them so free and out in the open makes me sad for the ones at monterey acquarium, who only have a tiny amount of space to occupy.
they have a 1000x better life there
Of course they fly. They are not penguins.
Kakapo is my favorite bird.
@@SoloEcho There is a video of happy kakapo shagging a scientist's head 😂
@@MikehMike01, captivity is never ideal.
Puffin: finally. After a long exhausting fishing trip, I've-! Skua: READY YOUR WINGS, LADS!
After 500 years or 1000 years ... These birds will surely develop some kind of pouch in their beak , so that no other bird can steal their food.. and also , the thief bird will also adapt to it... It's all about natural selection..❤️
100,000 years hasn't been enough time yet?
@@reidbarclay4925 maybe i predicted less time... Maybe in 10000 years or more , but definitely, they will develop some kind of defence...
Amazing 8 mins movie, the struggles he conquers to be able to feed his young is outstanding.. disney should make movie from puffins
This is cuteness overload! But I gotta admit it, the skewers look and move like fighter aircraft. Beautiful design on them.
I love the footage of the puffin walking on water as he starts to fly
Traveling for about 100 kilometers and evading arctic skewers!!! What a journey and the devotion for the baby~👍💞
*skuas
@@CJCroen1393 Lol
Wow to the magnificent work that went into this production! I’m stunned by that 50km one-way distance to catch fish - feels almost the puffin would use up more calories on that return flight than it gets out of its feed!
The fish is for the babies. presumably the puffins eat more for themselves while they're there.
Beautiful animals and love the way they interact "click click" so adorable! So when a puffin brings back stuff is that considered "PUFFIN STUFF" (showing my age....LOL)
The filming on this is immaculate
Who cares this is to appreciate nature not the filming and mens tech advances. People like you is what’s wrong in the world
Aww~ Puffin has became my favorite bird ever since I watched Blue Planet II!!! I often rewatch this part over and over again, because it's my favorite Puffin video ever! There are not enough Puffin contents on the internet... so, thanks for cutting this clip and uploading it here!! 🥺💓
We must learn always from animals and the love that they have
I was in Maine at a Seafood restaurant on the water and I saw this black and white bird swimming around like a duck. I thought it looked like a Puffin. I asked the waitress, Is that a Puffin? She said, "Yes it is, but it's unusual, they rarely come this far south" So I got to see one, very cool.
he's a great father
Indeed
Yes
Omg. It was like a short film. The camera team must be appreciated. What a work. Every movement is catched by em. In every world whether its human or animal or birds you have to fight for survival.
No one has an easy life. Even these cute puffins have to struggle to survive.
I used to have a kitty named Puffkins. When he was a baby I used to call him my little Puffling. 💖💖💖
When they knocked their beaks together, well, that has to be one of the cutest things I think I’ve ever seen.
"it's dad's turn"... isn't always? :D
Just love the BBC team humour and timing with Attenborough’s voice and the intercepting Puffin’s sounds….. who wouldn’t want to raise a precious puffling❣️ Thank you to all the brilliant technicians who bring the astounding visuals, sound and as much awareness ~ not to mention Sit David’s iconic voice. Let’s take way better care of our oceans and respect for what we take fro: ours seas.💙🌍🌊
Puffins are such beautiful birds. They’re so under rated
These lil dears are so cute, I've always loved puffins 🥰
After I saw them touching beaks, I found myself smiling for a good minute like an absolute idiot )))
LOL 😂 awwww
Cutest pairs of birds, ever! 😍💜
@Ben Yosep me, too! 😂
Beautiful narration by great David Attenborough.
Pufflings and Guillemots.. sounds like two happy families in Hobbingen...
Puffin struggle for the life of his baby this is life it's a battle
How beautiful and adorable the world is🌍🌎🌏❤
I swear puffling has to be the cutest chick name I’ve ever heard-
Spectacular chasing & maneuver on wing! For a bird with relatively small wings, & of high wing load, leaving a predator behind is some effort! Like a frigate bird, skuas demonstrate their agility in the air, but snatching fish from a beak is nastier. Life is so tough!
BBC Earth's nature storytelling with Sir David is on whole another level ❤️
Ayo I never knew you loved BBC
I’ve been to this location on a cruise.. this video and story telling captures the experience even better than being there live!
They look like flying penguins...so adorable!
This is amazing. Puffin is such an exemplary dad ;) love them.
I was stunned at how well they swim
Little pufflings probably won't understand how hard mom and dad had to work for their survival, until they become parents.
I like how they are basically the missing link between regular birds and penguins.
Beautiful and so calming to watch these birds interact in nature.
Puffins are such charming birds, with their broad chests and candy coloured beaks. Lovely video. ♥️
You had me at puffling.
wowww...these guys have such a difficult life, we as humans don't have to makeup it more tough for them
I don't know how they are able to find their nest with all of those other birds....incredible.....if their catch is no stealed,they may be eaten by sharks.
Puffins are so cute... especially they have a mate for life.. they're so lucky with diving and flying but sadly they can't keep the food in their throats(?) Unlike penguins
Well interestingly amongst the majority of 'monogamous' bird species, 'cheating' is the norm. They will have one main partner but most (in both sexes) will occasionally mate with other birds too. As an evolutionary strategy it means they can enjoy the benefits of monogamy (high survival/success rate of raising young) while avoiding putting all their 'eggs in one basket' genetically. Anyway, I think this goes to show that we shouldn't look to animals and nature to decide what's right and wrong, because they do all kinds of awful stuff too!
The baby waddling out and back into their home. I can't.
Today I learned that Puffin is a real bird and not just a browser mascot.
I was rooting for that puffin the whole way.... wow that's some amazing video work and as always David Attenborough is the perfect man to listen to such intense stuff
Adorable Puffins ❤️
That Puffin vs. Snatchers are way more exciting and thrilling than action movies these days. Lol. It's so fascinating💗
The fact they have a mate for life you might think is maximum cuteness but then their chicks are called Pufflings.
I came here after reading novel - the sea of adventure - Enid Blyton. Huffin and Puffin were two of children's pet puffins. A good book must read.

100 kilometers for a single fish. Wow!
Was more enjoyable than a Hollywood movie. The action sequence was exhilarating. The family relationship was heartfelt. 👏 👏 all credit to the production team and the camera men
One of the best video and aerial sequences I've ever witnessed. Exceptional footage and story line. Love Sir David's narration as well. Bravo! Well done.
