All language subtitles for Arctic Geese Chicks Jump Off Cliff to Survive _ Hostile Planet (720p_24fps_AV1-128kbit_AAC).Engels

spring has arrived here early

and that's bad news for the barnacle

geese the breed in these mountains

many nests have failed

but not this one

[Music]

three chicks

they're lucky to have made it

forced by the early spring

the parents rushed to their migration

they arrived exhausted

the female sat on the eggs for 25 days

she's lost 30 of her body weight

but for this family

the greatest challenge is still to come

the parents chose to nest on this

400-foot pinnacle

it's the only way to evade predators

just one problem

the grass they eat is a mile away

by the river

and barnacle geese can't feed their

young in the nest

if the chicks don't feed within 36 hours

they'll starve

and these chicks won't be able to fly

for another month

the parents are living proof

there is a solution

just not an easy one

dad

leads the way

but the chicks are instinctively bonded

to mum

[Music]

where she goes

they follow

uh

incredibly

it survived

but it's stunned

and now dangerously exposed

oh

um

one chick gone

now hope rests with the other two

the back of the spire is a shorter drop

but it's much harder to avoid the rocks

for this chick

there will be no escape

the third

and last surviving chick

[Music]

hey

[Music]

oh

uh

the snow cushions the impact but offers

no grip

oh

[Music]

only around 50

of chicks hatched on these cliffs

make it through the first month

with the seasons increasingly

unpredictable

fewer chicks will survive

but this chick at least

has defied the odds

[Music]
