This Bird’s Chicks Fall Hundreds of Feet… And Survive 🤯Added:
This bird's chick fall from hundreds of feet and don't even die. Meet the guillemot, a seabird that lays its eggs on bare rocky ledges high above the ocean. When food runs out, mom doesn't carry her chicks [music] down. She encourages them to jump before they can even fly. But even if they miss the water [music] completely and slam into the rocks below, they walk away without a scratch. Their bodies are wrapped in a thick soft layer [music] that absorbs the entire impact. Basically, a built-in crash suit. Just like that subscribe button you keep forgetting to hit.
