Seabirds Learn from Marine Species to Hunt | Animals With Cameras | BBC Earth

Cameras placed on gannets help to capture the behaviour of these seabirds as they soar through the skies and dunk into the water. Their diving, unique calls and strange actions reveal a lot as these birds follow dolphins and whales across the water. But why do they hunt near such large aquatic creatures?

Unless school was forced towards the surface, visibility from the sky would be limited. Some smart individuals would take cues from others, intra-& interspecifics for spotting preys. It's quite logical, but here's proved! Amazing prowess in nature & human (high tech)! This is BBC!

That bird is protected by “ Camera man never die.”

Thật tuyệt vời khi chứng kiến cách chim ó biển vận dụng trí thông minh của mình để tìm kiếm thức ăn! 🐦🌊 Từ việc theo dấu cá heo và cá voi đến việc biến những con tàu đánh cá thành tín hiệu, chúng cho thấy khả năng thích nghi đáng kinh ngạc. Có lẽ những chiến thuật này đang giúp chúng sống sót trong một thế giới tự nhiên ngày càng khắc nghiệt. Một bài học nhỏ từ tự nhiên cho tất cả chúng ta! 🌍✨

It would be nice if countries would alternate the years they fish in order to build up the population. Of course the fishermen would have to be compensated.

I love you Bangladesh 🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩😮

I'm curious as to whether the gannets can recognize and ignore certain whale species. Would they dive if they saw orcas hunting? Orcas seem likely to eat them, too.

Any fisherman could have told you this ancient knowledge and saved the planet of your troting..

You mean sea life, not everything is animal.

Animals can learn, fancy that. Amazing BBC breakthrough, up till now, no one knew, except most of us.

Are the cameras marine life friendly ? What if the bird got eaten in the process? Please no cameras on wildlife

God loves you and cares for you so that this message reaches you. God is the one who created this large universe and controls it completely. The greatest loss a person loses in this life is that he lives without knowing God who created him and knowing the Messenger of Muhammad, the last of the messengers, and the Islamic religion, the last of the heavenly religions.  Great intelligence, before you believe in something or not, is to read it, study it, and understand it well, and after that you have the choice to believe in it or not to believe in it. I advise you to do this now, before you no longer have time to do so. Life is very short. It is just a test, just a passage to eternal life. Great advice to those who...  Understands
