I adore owls from the bottom of my heart. There’s like a sharp beauty in how they hunt so gracefully and ruthlessly
Indeed! I want one so bad lol
🦉 must be so glad
@@onlyrent291 why would they care about me
This video should be called "Oligarchs Feast on Voters."
👍😂👍
Lemmings being Lemmings queuing up to be eaten…
I was scared the wolves were going to find the nest of the owls... The baby owls were so cute
u spoiled the video for me 🤣😂🤣
It's just beautiful watching nature keep balanced and how it does it.
Yes, it is a beautiful thing to see "nature" at work, harmoniously doing their "assignment" or task. For example, it is amazing to see corals spawn each August on the night of a full moon. During this perfectly synchronized breeding, coral polyps release millions of tiny egg and sperm bundles into the water. By this synchronized process, it provides for fertilization and the propagation of the wide variety of corals. If coral eggs and sperm were not released simultaneously, then the coral reefs would have perished, yet they release their eggs and sperm are like "clock work" at exactly the same time. This is an example of the handiwork of the One who created "nature". And to show some more amazing things found in the insect and arachnid world is that of the orb weaving spider. It has been discovered that the web of the orb weaving spider, that produces seven different types of silk, is capable of stopping a jumbo jet in flight. The sturdiest silk, known as dragline silk, is lighter than cotton but ounce for ounce is stronger than steel and tougher than kevlar that is used in bullet-proof vests. If this dragline silk were enlarged to the size of a football field, with the web being 0.4 inches thick and 1.6 inches apart, then it would be capable of stopping a jumbo jet flying at over 600 mphs. What else is of interest is that spiders produces the dragline silk at room temperature and uses only water, while man-made kevlar requires high temperatures and strong chemicals. Or if a person had the eyesight of an eagle, from on top of a 10 story building could watch an ant walking on the ground below. Or the strength of ants, such as the leaf-cutting ant carrying leaves in the forest back to their nest, that can be likened to person carrying an 1,800 pound Volkswagen Beetle around on their backs with relative ease. Or of the weaver ants in Australia. According to the video documentary "The Ultimate Guide - Ants" (found on KZhead), it said that these ants bonds leaves together, "turn(ing) the leaves into green chambers, with floors, walls and ceilings. The way they do is with glue. First the ants turn themselves into living safety pins, pulling the leaves together and holding them. That's one team. Next come the weavers (ants). They pick up larvae, their yet unformed little sisters, take them to the seams use them like living shuttles, tiny glue guns. They stimulate them to secrete threads of sticky, web-like silk that holds the leaves together. Without any apparent supervision, the ants know exactly where to clamp the leaves, and where to apply the silk. There are a half a million ants in the colony, but they behave as though they were all part of a SINGLE MIND, each one doing what is needed in the right way to build a complex of chambers and corridors out of living leaves". This is more than amazing, showing that a Supreme Designer is the source for their creation, for no human engineer could create life or anything with such capabilities.(see Jer 10:10, 12 in the Bible that says: "But Jehovah [God's name, see Isa 12:2, KJV] is truly God. He is the living God and the eternal King.......He is the Maker of the earth by his power, the One who established the productive land by his wisdom and who stretched out the heavens by his understanding")
@@timhaley3459 God is not real.....dude....why can't you just let nature be. You had me till that last bit quite trying to steal everything even nature.....c'mon.
@Jorge García Robles those are all words we use, I just call it the circle of life. No murder, no destruction.
@@CinnamonToastKing Without God, there is no nature, for something does NOT come from nothing, complexity is NOT an accident, organization is NOT just by chance, and you know that to be true, for what messy room or kitchen ever organized itself, so that the spoons and pots and pans are placed in their proper place ? In fact, what house ever created itself without a mind ? What car ever came into existence without a mind ? What spoon or fork or knife ever created itself without someone to think about it and then "bring it to birth" ? Show me anything we use, from a simple toothpick to plate to house to a car to computer to a microwave oven, that came about by accident, without someone conceiving it in their mind and then developing into a useful product. The universe is of such complexity as to be incomprehensible, so that only a Supreme Designer could have conceived it and brought it into existence. Of this preciseness, Harry Cliff, a particle physicist at CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) in Geneva, Switzerland, said in 2016, that there are ' two dangerous numbers in the universe that are responsible for all the matter, structure, and life that we witness across the cosmos'. He further said that " if these two numbers (strength of the Higgs field and of dark energy) were even slightly different, the universe would be an empty, lifeless place". And he even went further in how critical, how precise the forces involved are, stating concerning the strength of the Higgs field (said to be caused by the Higgs boson), an invisible energy field not unlike other magnetic fields that permeates the universe, that "either it should be turned off, meaning it would have a strength value of zero and wouldn't be working to give particles mass, or it should be turned on", and that this "on value" is "absolutely enormous". But neither of those two scenarios are what physicists observed. He says that in reality, "the Higgs field is just slightly on........It's not zero, but it's ten-thousand-trillion times weaker than it's fully on value - a bit like a light switch that got stuck just before the 'off ' position. And this value is crucial. If it were a tiny bit different, then there would be no physical structure in the universe." So, what is the logical conclusion as to how the universe, with its abundance of life on the earth, came about ?

It's so amazing to see those young foxes storing up food for later times. 👍
So the lemmings are the unsung heroes of this video
The owls are so beautiful 😍. It’s a sad and beautiful story for these lovely animals that live on the earth.
Starroze aka Kawaiicutiebaby, look at bird bath
This clip would be really terrifying if it was told from the lemmings’ perspective.
6 chicks?! & Variety of body size! Extraordinary! Excellent parental care!
Papa Fox bringing dinner home to Mama and kits...beautiful.
so many kids hope they all grow up welll god bless
those owls really had their work cut out for them one only imagines what those lemmings called them based on the videos of those lil guys screeching at people
Omg those fox cubs were SO DARN CUTE!
So, those were the creatures in the video game, "Lemmings". Who knew?
It's just beautiful!
Imagine the kids being like "Lemming? Again? Ugh!"
The two biggest threats for a lemming: owls and the Walt Disney corporation
This was somewhat satisfying to watch!
The baby foxes are soo cute and playful 🥰🦊
Damn, didn't know owls could have more than three chicks at once. Thought three was the magic number.
Duchess of Earl Grey, look at bird bath

Our only complaint? The vids are not long enough... 🙃 Amen, anyone?
Naozaj az sa srdce zastavy . Ked vidí taketo nádherné videa plne života o prežitie .
Power rules
Thanks for the clips!
You mean Kits
Look at those beautiful baby owls! ❤
Bean Pod, look at bird bath
Omg i love those three animals.
Amazing thanks for sharing 👍
So fluffy!
This is so good
Super beautiful 😘
this is one of the best channel
lili xiao, look at bird bath... how about me
@@BirdBath1 its very cool too

Merci mais nous voulons des documentaires
Poor lemmings
Exímias predadoras!
Ngggg... you might wanna add some more db when editing next time.
*🤫WOW...PARENTAL CARE🤗*
I feel bad for the lemmings..
Beautiful White Owls. Praise God.
Anthony Zapf, look at bird bath
Birds or other common species in the world, some birds love their young, just like our human family loves children, and birds love their children and protect them. Its young do not let other ferocious herds come to catch and hurt its young.
สัตว์นก AnimalsBird, look at bird bath
1:55 that runt owl on the left is so tiny.
Does anyone know the name of the tune that's played in the end of the BBC earth videos. I am in love with that tune even though its seconds only. HELP ME OUTTTTT..........
Part 4
At 0:57 fun fact: fox and wolf pups used to be called "cubs" until it was changed. They are called "pups" and calling them "cubs" are incorrect. Cubs are for like bears, pups are foxes, dogs, wolves, and coyotes.
Schön 😎
Really BBC? 480p?
I never heard of lemming
This is that one island right?
I always find it fascinating how ALL species of wildlife know just how many offspring to have depending on the amount of a particular food source. Unlike humans who populate the planet to record proportions. Especially when there is every contraceptive imaginable.
Populations in all Western nations are in massive decline?
in whatever world u choose to live in
number one reason wildlife species are declining....habitat lose....because of human intervention. U-R actually right, my bad, humans are declining for the first time for most of the world, not all of it. But the "balance" between wildlife and humans is ever so widening...not good for the overall scheme of things
bro no, the lemming surplus only last a year. The year after a huge amount of animals die of starvation because niche return back to normal.
based. also, birth rate scales negatively with intelligence.
yeaaaaHhh
💖💖💖
Why is this not in HD
👍👍👍
Thank you for this awesome video! You're a good inspiration, who agrees?
Secret, look at bird bath
So snow owl for short Snow owl: hold up…you also from snowma? Sf snow falcon for short Snow falcon: yes i’m also a folk 6️⃣ Snow owl: ay ok 👍

Love this video ♥️
Lemmings are born to be eaten
OH Mother Nature, Who taught those Pairs To be Responsible for Grow Their Kids ?!
In His infinite wisdom... God created it, them, me and we.

北極圏に住み、目立たない白い色をしている。 地面に巣を作り夏の始めに雛が生まれる。 雛は灰褐色で敵に見つかりずらい。 雪の降る頃身を隠すのにピッタリの真っ白に成り、雪の様に空を舞う。 彼らの羽毛は水を弾き川を泳いで渡る事も可能です。
It is like a metaphor for the average American civilian

Not on my watch they wont. I'd hall in hay and grass for them to eat. We have to intervene in nature now because of drastic climate changes.
what is this potato quality in 2022 from BBC
so many kids hope they all grow up welll god bless
