Lol I know right. Man: she started eating... man shoves fish into penguin mouth smh

That's what I said! 😅

Yes, but they did not stay afloat, they did dive in

She was literally forced into the water. Doesnt look like anywhere to land, either.

Right?!?

😂😂😂😂

that made me laugh out FAR to loud haha

Right?

I hope the penguin has the skills to hunt and evade predators.

Felt the same

Yes, I noticed that too. It was probably because of the trauma she had with water and her attachment to Carlos combined, but also, we reincarnate as animals too. Maybe Natalia wasn't a Pinguin in her past life (maybe she was another animal) and water feels unfamiliar to her. Notice how she didn't want to eat fish, and was more comfortable walking over swimming.

They are probably alright, the other penguins are right next door. Birds are flock animals and community is important to them. Anything they didn't know the other penguins can teach, and Penquins stick together.

@@neogeo1670 Animals are just as deserving of happy and healthy lives and treating them as if they are beneath humans is ignorant. Ignorance is the majority of the issue when it comes to the destruction of animals and their habitats. Do better.

Natalias trauma is also proof that animals “feel” like we do. Humans are ignorant to think otherwise because animals are simple and pure- but that’s because they are actually smarter and more connected then we are. They don’t take more then they need to survive/sustain and they don’t cause harm to the earth. When we, as a whole are smart enough to realize this, and learn from them all, we will evolve immensely.

it's especially sad she was associated trauma with the water, because water is where she should feel confident and hunt fish.

Penguins chose swiming over flying, it's so rare to see a penguin that can't swim

She was!!

@@eggsaladwithcheesesprinkles Indeed, WAS.☹

Indeed, the operative word is _“WAS.”_ She _WAS_ the cutest bird, because there’s no way in hell she survived with what we just witnessed with releasing her into the wild well before she was fully rehabilitated. If she was ready, she would have jumped into the ocean without the slightest hesitation. They failed on doing so many things to fully prepare her for living in the wild. My heart is broken for this darling bird. I can’t even believe that he pushed her into the strong ocean current for her release when knowing full well that she developed her fear of water because of humans pushing her into the ocean over and over when she wasn’t even ready to swim yet (baby penguins don’t know how to swim for some time after they are born). All she had was a shallow kiddie pool in her rehabilitation (even their largest pool was very shallow and no currents in it) - it was _NOTHING_ like the ocean. They didn’t teach her how to hunt live fish, nor teach her how to get up onto steep cliffs, etc etc. etc! This was the most depressing Dodo video I’ve ever viewed, and it actually made me quite angry. Carlos even lied when saying that Natalia made the decision herself to go into the ocean. Just, WTF?!

@@Amanda-vi6vr Animals have instincts. will be fine...

@@Amanda-vi6vr animals arent stupid. they do have primal instincts even if they were captured, The penguins will do fine. Humans cant teach them everything, Some things they do need to learn themselves or else they will not survive in the wild.

He didn't just shove her off the boat, he gave her a gentle push. The ultimate goal of wildlife rehab/rescue is to return the animal to their natural habitat. These rescuers know what they're doing, they would not have released her if she wasn't ready. All we saw was a 7min video, we didn't see the whole process. And to be fair, we did see her diving into the big pool & eating fish on her own & interacting well with Rosalita, which means that in the wild she will be able to interact with the other penguins, she will see them hunting, and that, along with her instincts, will help guide her to hunt. Also, I garuantee these rescuers go back to the rookery to check on them.

Me too. 🥹

❤❤❤

Every single person that I have ever known that has a fear of water had their parents throw them in a pool, lake or ocean like that

@@thenightporter 100000%

I LOVED my dad, but he did that to me when I was very young, and I never got over the fear of water. He meant well; apparently that is how he was taught to swim, but it sure backfired with me.

This is no joke. PARENTS DON'T DO THIS!!!

Yes, that's hilarious.

More like dungeon prison cell kekl

RIGHTTT

@Fire Heart she'll learn as long as she lives

She associates food with water....but doesnt know she can also BE food

She was released where the colony of other penguins were. There is a hierarchy that already exists in the colony. Natalia will follow the crowd to learn what she needs to. Nature will always take its course but she's in the environment where she's free.

@@DJC_2003 lol. No creature on earth are peaceful.. Just look how dogs bark and get into fights with each other all the time..

Idk about that last part but yea I agree

Seems a bit forceful don't u think?

Honestly the whole video was strange. Pushing animals that are scared into the element that scares them is so strange. Then saying that their emotions are "gratitude" etc etc, makes the whole video even shadier. I think they just wanted exposure.

yeah considering all these fake animal rescue channels, it makes me wonder if theres more to this channel that meets the eye...

More often then not stories like these are very low impact in relation to other content. Production teams have to drum up some kind of story, back and forth, so that the public actually wants to watch and gain viewing time. Same with reality tv, its just a bunch of a people sitting around, the rest is drama for show.

Honestly when I realized how strange I found their interactions eventually I relaized "Now that I think about it I guess this reminds me of those kids shows growing up." IF we assumed this was made with kids in mind as the target audience, then their interactions don't seem as strange, at least to me once I thought about it like that. But when made for adults, the two way calls feel like "I can tell how forced this all is....why bother including it?" xD

@@GirlyEnglishGamer Just a bit of a reminder that The Dodo is run by PETA... so it kinda makes sense.

As someone from Lima, it really doesn't surprise me they didn't have the right equipment or time to complete Natalia's rehabilitation. Uncomplete proyects are our everyday bread.

You know they have instincts right? She literally had never dove before the biggest pool but she instantly did that too.

She might be ok. Animals aren't idiots and they have instincts. If you don't feed your dog or cat, they will go out and kill wildlife and eat it. In the case of cats, they still know how to hunt even if no one ever teaches them, and will hunt even when you feed them 3 times a day. Penguins live in colonys. They are quick to accept new members and the other penguins are right next to them, they have been released into a new family of penguins. They will learn from the other penquins how to survive because they have to. I wish they could have stayed with the humans though.

She would had tried to hop back on the boat if thats the case, but instead she dived.

I think a lot of people understand animals feel fear and stuff, but I don’t think enough people understand that these fearful situations are just as traumatic for them as they would be for us. For example, my dog was abused by his former “caretakers,” now, 13 years later, he still runs away when people move too fast around him or are holding something large (especially newspaper and pans) even though he hasn’t been hit in 13 years. I wish more people would stop and think about that before they do stuff to animals, especially if it’s just for a stupid penguin photo.

omg yes

" Handfed" my dude

I cackled at that

To be fair that's how the penguins parents would feed it so the man has a slight point... but still.

🤣😂😂😂😂

I was thinking the same

@@zima3181 i am too... Its a really big diference...also she is used to dead fish...

Let's hope the rehabilitators know what they are doing.

It seems likely we only saw a fraction of the process.

Yep and what about the American expert - why didn't he urge caution?

They shout mission accomplished but Natalia was not seen. I feel they could have gone more slow. I somehow felt she wasn't ready yet for the ocean.

I know 😩🙏❤️🤞

@@chirpy1381 I thought so too but I think because she's a penguin, her swimming instincts will kick in.

@@chirpy1381 Yeah, the water that they trained her did not move. Then you take her out to choppy seas and say that she’s ready. They should come back to that spot weekly until she jumps in on her own.

@@chirpy1381 Exactly! I'm yelling at my laptop "He pushed her! *HE Pushed Her!!!* Then I asked the empty room: "How is she going to know how to get out?? She has no experience with the treachery of that kind of water!!" As novice viewers we need more education on the rehab process to get the intended feel-good results intended here. Instead we are left to trust that these people have done this countless times and are to rely on their professional judgement. In the end he says, "It was amazing to see her make that final decision..." except that he pushed her, removing her ability to choose, and did so on film. Kinda hard to trust the professional capacity of people like that.

Lmao

But I think - he knew her. He knew she was ready for it - and she was. He was the only one who could push her and yet not traumatise her.

@@tye9713 ?

It's lovely that you care for Natalia's well-being. Regardless, unless you are working as a penguin rehabber, as those people are, you cannot judge whether she was ready or not. You "sensing" fear in an animal you have never met is just projecting your own emotions onto it. You can trust that these people can judge the situation, and know she was ready.

Toda la razón. El video mas horrible de @The Dodo

💯

Around day 16, the man was still feeding Natalia, but he was holding the END of the fish UNDERWATER, showing it to her AND wiggling it around, which is the way she would have to eat by herself in the wild. She dove down after the fish and was grabbing the heads and swallowing them all by herself!

Agreed, that was a big change of scenery. A release on a beach would have been better. It takes penguins a while to be able to get on those cliffs with those kinds of waves as well.

@@MrBaconwhopper I think they didn't do the beach because it was the source of her fear of water.

Everyone Will have to get it Eventually to move back home to the Cosmos !

Its ironic

She had fear from people being mean to her and she had a bad experience in the water.

just shows that we arent unique when it comes to feelings and emotions

@@tatianadelrey6529 bro I was laughing so much Natalia didn’t wanna go and he’s like ok bye bye

Gratitude? More like a plea for her life. You just mastered the kiddie pool and someone throws you into the ocean. That must've been how she felt then.

Hey friend, i have street cats that need your support🐈🐈🙏

Yeah! I get attached too.

@@FeedingStreetCats615 they need to be captured, feral cats are a natural disaster for small native wildlife.

It doesn’t need to be done if the animals are not fully rehabilitated. There are multiple examples everywhere if you look of animals not being able to be fully rehabilitated , so they I have to remain with humans for the rest of their lives. Natalia was most definitely not ready to be released into the wild. If she was, then she would’ve jumped into the ocean without any hesitation whatsoever - she wouldn’t have needed a push!

@@anti-ethniccleansing465 Have you seen wild geese or ducks with their young? When it's time to get in the water, they wait for the young babes to build up the courage to jump in; but, they make it clear to them, either get into this water or get left behind. The parents may try to guide the young duckling to a nearer area with a ledge lower to the water but the whole fear thing they try to break them out of it because they know the water is their natural environment.

I did not know that you had a channel, but I just subscribed to it. I watched your TV show as a kid. 🙂

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Great. Thank you.

I am not satisfied with this. You’re partner threw Rosita in and I don’t think she was ready. And you gave her a strong push, and she needed time to realize she was free. Also, you should’ve kept them longer because one tiny pool is no match for a huge body of water with strong currents. Also, if they’re endangered, you should’ve kept them in a highly protected place.

@@blorks I agree 150%! They shld NOT hv PUSHED Natalia in, instead perhaps lower her down closer to the water & see how she responds before letting her go! From what was shown, I don't think she was ready and moreso believe she was a candidate for a zoo or ?? bc of her fears! Also, how do they know if she can fly out of the ocean and up onto those rocks like she NEEDS to b able to do? I pray she does know or learns in a hurry B4 danger approaches and she becomes an easy mea or simply drowns bc she could not get out and becomes exhausted!!! I'm quite disappoints in this Mutual Of Omaha's video! Are you REALLY saving the lives of endangered penguins? The video COULD HAVE BEEN LONGER and included important, yet missing info from the "experts"... in case you didn't notice, this IS UKposts!!!

She was not ready😡She should have been placed in a zoo or other safe sanctuary

😭

She survived for 1 day

She can't catch fish

Let's be honest, it makes absolutely no difference to our lives whether she "made it" or whether she was eaten by a mammal right afterward. We still have to pay our rent and deal with our life issues.

i hate to say it but im pretty sure at least one of those two penguins died not too long after this

I've been re-thinking about this for weeks!

@@Aurabora54321 The issue is this specific penguin had barely gotten used to water before getting pushed off.

So true haha..

I think she would reacted bad if she wasnt ready at all. She would try to hold to boat but she didnt. We dont know how penguins psychology at all. But i think she just needed some push to have a courage.

Peru is not poor

Lol? Peru is not poor.

😂

💕💕💕

Agreed.

True...

Look ♫ Look ♫ Look ♫ 💕 The duck is cute 🦆💕 May you be healed 😊

I see your point, she might be better off in a zoo program/sanctuary, but they have to give her a chance to be in the wild. I seriously doubt they're not gonna go back to check on her & all the penguins. And I garuantee they stuck around to watch her from a distance to make sure she was heading towards the rookery after release. If she was injured or unable to overcome her fear of water then I'm sure they would have worked with her for longer or decided to keep her in a sanctuary. Penguin sanctuaries are not easy things to maintain, and it's almost always best to reintroduce an animal to its natural habitat if possible.

Why was she a rescued penguin in the first place? I thought she had some injury and was brought to the center for rehabilitation. Perhaps the injury caused discomfort, especially making swimming difficult or inefficient. So she was weary of being in water. It looks like she was a wild penguin to start, so returning to the ocean should not be difficult if her injuries are fully healed. The penguins are adorable!!

@@pandap4ntz I really hope that's the case. I will admit; I'm emotional about this. Maybe because I'm a lay person and not an expert.

@@wip1664 She was a wild penguin. Just saying I think she would've been good remaining at the centre or going to a sanctuary.

@@G.DD3SS I'm no expert either, but I have studied animal biology, especially birds, in my spare time for pretty much my entire life, that being said, I am still no expert. There's a new video on Clint's Reptiles channel about the Gentoo Penguins that are kept at a zoo in Utah, we learn about how insanely difficult it is to keep penguins in captivity, especially when the penguins are far away from their natural home, like arctic penguins being kept in Utah. Obviously it would be easier to keep them in captivity in their natural setting, but that's not always feasible, which is why (certain) zoos & sanctuaries go through great lengths to keep penguins happy & healthy in captivity. From what I understand, the main goal of animal rehabilitators is to help the animal heal and then return them to the wild. Sometimes it's not possible to return every animal to the wild, but they try their best to limit hands on interactions with them to help keep them as wild as possible, which is most likely why you saw them using boards to help herd the penguins around in this video, b/c it makes the penguins exercise & move on their own without being overly handled by the care takers. Any good rescue facility will function with the primary goal of rehabilitating the animals to return them to their natural home, which is what I saw the people in this video doing. No red flags or alarm bells went ringing in my mind while watching this, yes it was silly & badly timed wording of them saying it was the penguin's choice to jump off the boat while we see him place her in the water, but that was just bad video editing, not animal abuse. I've watched many releases where the animal needs a little extra boost to get going back into the wild, it's very normal. Btw, I'm not writing this long comment to show off or attack you, I just want to share knowledge and hopefully make you feel better about the plight of this beautiful little penguin.

Yeah I got so emotional 😢

I think she was not ready for the wild tis is sad 😢

@@krulleman the later u do it the harder it's going to be for her. Becuase she will get used to living with humans and be fed by them

I don't want to come across as someone that seeks to argue, so I'm carefully putting it this way: animals do express their fears, albeit just not verbally.
