Amazing footage, equal to the march of the penquins in its drama.
@ 01:27 or -00:13 O_O oh my God, the right leg of the flamingo chick is in trouble?
Heart breaking scenes seeing those chicks striving to survive.The fittest survives.
pbs always have unique programs. there’s always something interesting going out there
This is compared to March of the Penguins, worthy of a movie, not just a 50-min. program . Christopher Plummer as usual conveys the urgency of the march in his narration.
Hi! What is the name of the musical piece played at the very end of this program? Not this clip but in the end of the entire production :)
Thanks!
clark…
I feel your pain:)
That big round thing on birds leg is dried mud, as hard as concrete…
