Snow Chick: A Penguin's Tale
This enchanting film follows the adventures of one charismatic emperor penguin from the time he emerges from the egg to the moment he leaves for the sea. Emperor penguins grow up during the winter in one of the coldest places on Earth - the Antarctic. The conditions are harsh and chicks must endure temperatures of minus 60 degrees Celsius and terrifying blizzards. This film follows the trials and tribulations of one adorable fluffy chick - from his first tentative steps on the ice, to getting lost, to hanging out with the other chicks. It also shows the lengths his parents will go to provide food, overcoming huge obstacles, avoiding predators like leopard seals, and enduring freezing conditions. Full of tense and moving moments as well as comedy and character, Snow Chick follows the emperor penguin's life story in a level of detail never attempted before.

a more dramatic and heartwarming story than 99.9% of movies these days
I know ajjaj 🤣
Than 100 percent, you mean.
And I can't agree more.
Yeah
Because it's honest
Very cute, I’m glad the chick found its mother and the father penguin found the huddle. I found it very emotional.
You definetly have to watch the film March of the Penguins....trust me it is a must-watch and hello from Canada
damn bruh spoiler alert
well it was very emotionally told, more than it actually is
Dude spoilers
You must be beyond naiv to look at the comments and expect nobody to refer to what happened in the video in order to comment about it
Penguin dads are the ultimate underappreciated heroes. Literally incubates the egg and raises it the first few months goes back to get food while hes half his weight to come back and feed the wife and kid
Agreed! ✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻
Sounds like an “I’m just going to the store for milk and cigs” story to me. 😂
You are half right, females become weak after producing the egg, it consumed a lot resources to make it, so they are the first to go back to the ocean to eat, and bring food. The males will be the first to stay and care for the egg, resiting one of the coldest times on earth, the female will come back, feed them and then the male will go back to the ocean for food. Both do exactly the same, they take turns.
Where does he carry that food which he brings to his family?
@@NEWz206 literally in himself. Bro gets fat and vomits the food out for his kids.
This clip has made me elicit more emotions than I've shown my entire lifetime
🤣
You must have a hard lifetime...
Deprezin'
real
I love the feeling of a warm blanket when I'm really cold - imagine that young penguin felt 100 times that good when he got to his mother's pouch.
Like a shot oh H for a drug addict.
Yea it was sooo adorable
@@ifykyk679 ye almost makes me sad cuz seing that baby just layying down the ground that made me think he was too cold
@@azmilfahkri7436 its normal for them you 💀
@@firstnamelastnamed7410 that bideo is about 'a baby tryying to find hes mom or he gets cold' wdym normal u 💀
I'm so glad the mother reached her cute little one and that the dad made it back 🙂

@Jericho Kilmanja I saw the documentary on Snow Chick & he survives. He survives almost being kidnapped & nearly crushed to death, broke away from almost being attacked by a petrol & almost being eaten by a seal. The documentary is very good, he's quite a survivor for such a tiny penguin.
@@luckyladyz well that makes it seem all the more likely this has been "copy paste" edited together as the other guy mentioned. And i mean... why wouldnt they lol. more dramatic/emotional = more money.
Yay penguin survive :D
@@luckyladyz Wow, sounds like a real life disney movie :D We face some adversity and danger, it gets scary at times, but then all is well at the end
I love how during that one scene , the baby was all alone,freezing . But not so long after , the mother quietly stands behind him and surprise him . Just like those movie scenes. Please this is soo beautiful 😩😭
Sameee 🥺
Gosh that was stressful! So glad the baby made it home.
Finding this comment has given me so much relief❤.
Yes I'm so glad Snow Chick's mommy found him. I saw this documentary & I loved it, he's quite a survivor for such a tiny chick 🐧❤️
Bro, spoiler alert
And the dad! Penguin survival depends on both mom and dad.
Poor little one is freezing, can’t imagine their survival. Imagine how they help each other to warm each other.
I guess this is how they realized it's better to stick together than to go at it alone.
And here I am sitting in my comfy chair by the fire eating sandwiches.
@@muffintop420 living your best life
And them they push each other in water to see if it was predators
@@Kallastar. 😅😅 survival of the fittest
I love how socially organized and parentally evolved penguins are. They also have no natural land predators so they don't see humans as a threat. I doubt they'd treat a human differently than another penguin. Fascinating creatures.
I can tell you didn’t order the DVD.
Their natural predators can also walk on land (skuas and giant petrels).
It’s a pity, of course, for such a cute little fluffy one if the birds want to eat him (I remember the cartoon “The Old Sailor's Tales. Antarctica,” where a boy student of an old captain saved an emperor penguin chick from a skua and also shouted to the latter, “Drop the child, you hooligan!”😊)
As for what penguins think of humans: in Happy Feet, the protagonist, the young emperor penguin Mumble, also decided about zoo visitors that they were freaks, “big ugly black penguins with no beaks” (the same as the skua that once tried to eat him , decided about the ornithologists who caught and banded him). In this film, different birds show amazing unanimity towards humans ☺
They *do* have some predators.
I swear humans could learn so much from animals. Animals show how we’re supposed to treat everyone and support one another.
Us humans won’t
Don't confuse humans with psychopaths. Two big differences. Humans are doing just fine
Introverts really be talking about how human should socialized 😂
Introverts really be talking about how human should socialized 😂
Ever since I have studied the penguin I have a newfound respect for this animal. These animals really fight to survive. They journey is extremely difficult and long.
Did you know scientists put the head of a female penguin out and the male penguins decided to do the deed with head?
@@5v311 I just recently watched that documentary about penguins now that’s all I think about when I see them 🤣
I agree on animals dying naturally but penguins dying seems wrong to me
@@zarek3899 hi. Definitely nothing wrong with that feeling. 😊
@@janyabee3743
K
I got so emotional over these black and white birdies like damnnnnn, no sport games ever make me root so much for someone
compassion is a real thing.
Yes because if they can't they will die so it is life or death. Makes you appreciate modern society because everywhere you turn there are people and shelter from the elements. You can shelter in a store if you wanted.
Salute to the photographer.
Long live mother's love. ❤️
This video should be awarded oscar or Nobel prize because it give the lesson of life. The team recorded this video in extremely harsh envoirnmental conditions.
the human team probably have to snuggle too to survive lol.
I agree
Watching that little chick stumbling around in the cold was heartbreaking :(( Thank God he found his mum, I nearly cried
Smol baby was struggling to waddle 🥺
Me too! 😢
I’m at work mad at the person filming 😢
Thank you God 🙏🏽
Mee tooooooo 🥺🥺🥺
Thank you, I needed confirmation that this was a happy ending because currently my heart could not take that pain :')
They also rotate almost on an hourly basis, the ones on the very edge will slowly come more towards the middle that way they all survive. It's fascinating.
Isnt that interssting? That is kind of like when birds fly in a "V" formation; when the bird that has been flying at the tip gets tired, it moves to the tail end and another bird up front takes its place and they rotate that way. ❤
Only if humans could act more like that
@@LostMidge-pu4qchumans are ugly envious demons
Людям нужно брать пример с пингвинов!Они мужественные,стойкие,защищают свое сообщество, поддерживают друг друга!Чудесные милые человечки!
@@LostMidge-pu4qcWe do. That's how we reached this stage of civilization.
Everyone talking about the baby penguin, but no one is talking about the bravery of the cameraman staying in that giant freezer just to record a few birds. Such a legend.
OK CAN YOU GUYS STOP REPLYING? LITERALLY I COMMENTED THIS A YEAR AGO AND I STILL GETTING NOTIFIED OF NEW REPLIES GOIN ON
I don’t think thousands of birds is what should be called “a few”…
Oh yeah you are right I didn't realize that lol
Absolutely
these r mankind ,they go their with enough back up and with all the means that incase...... you should not forget that islam says we the best creation of god and may be your religion says too so its ok we be safe if no unfortunate arises suddenly.
@@altrnatvthinker ok
I almost cried to watch their struggle for survival in this harsh weather condition! ! May God always protect these beautiful creatures 🙏
If there is a God, he is a prick, what a terrible thing to do to these penguins..God is a nasty piece of work. Yes let's pray to the ass that made everything, including all the Bad Stuff.
I wish I can hug him
Such a harsh and unforgiving weather condition, yet still beautifully filmed by the crew. My respect to the field crew.
Madness!!!
@@somegirl558 wdym by madness
SUPERB FILMING! Hope they keep posting!
Facts
@@mrdinosaurproductions9507 that it is insanely cold.
The way they all huddle together is wholesome to see 🥰
And change positions within the group so everyone can get warm.
@@gayled3059 ahh yeah it’s beautiful to watch honestly
Da este foarte frumos sa privesti un asemenea tablou al naturi pe care noi oameni nu am reusit sa il distrugem
@@gayled3059 yeah bro really it was awesome
@@gayled3059 ikr? I wonder if humans had this much solidarity, but I guess some would just pay the middle ones to get a good spot, and the poor folks could never get in the middle. Or they just wouldn't huddle at all because it's "weird" to huddle with stangers. No joke sometimes in the winter when I'm waiting at a train station I have this short thought "I wish i could huddle next to these people, I wish we were like penguins where it would be not strange at all, it would keep all of us warmer" lol
Aww poor chick was falling & waddling his way made my heart melt
I don't understand how they can survive Antarctic storms, in which they can be -80 ºC. They are incredible animals.
Awwww - I felt bad for the dad. lets all give a shoutout to person filming this too please, actually let's give a shout out to everyone involved with this. Total legends.
I was just thinking that. How do they film this stuff.
Yh
Yeah they are all mad those nature camera people. They spend many months filming in the worst conditions to just catch a birth or a few minutes in a massive documentary. Some animals get so used to having that person around they start using them as look out posts or babysitters.
@@Iflie that would be fun lol
@@leealvin121 They made whole seasons of following a meerkat colony and they acted totally naturally around them but so much so they just stood on their heads as it was a handy platform.
Similar with a show on big cats, they were so used to the jeeps they'd use them as look out posts and certain females would bring the cubs to the camera guy and then went hunting, but that stopped the guy from following her as he was now on babysitting duty.
Reminds me of my own feral cat, I couldn't pet her or put my hand in the box with her babies but she still left them alone with me, going to do her bussiness for a few minutes while I was in the room, I think housecats look for a babysitter though. At around 6 weeks she put them on my bed and I was on night duty while she rested under my bed.
I get the chills just watching what these poor animals go through to survive, mother nature is rough.
At least they ain’t gotta work & pay bills 🙄😅
@@flanagamer nice sarcasm lol
@@flanagamer animals gotta pay their life to pay their "bills"
The animals can progress only to the equivalent of a human toddler. So they forget these horrible experiences very soon, but not completely forgetten. If they were not in the human world, they can be more than just a toddler. Interesting that they can do one or two adult human traits well...like caring for the needy young, and building nest/shelter, or furnishing a den for added comfort. They also defend/hunt well...has to do with the food chain and keeping their world and habitat in balance the "cruel" way. Our domesticated pet cats and dogs practice defensive and hunt the playful way...a lot less "cruel".
@@wip1664 You just spoke a bunch of non sense. Animals can remember for life. And some (like orca) are just as sentient/conscious as us.
I feel so terrible watching this and there's nothing I can do to help these innocent animals 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
We are, if we keep contributing to climate change the ice will keep melting thus making the temperature warmer and unsuitable.
The population will keep decreasing which means lesser babies which also means lesser penguins to suffer
Ikr!! Thank God the baby and dad made it back safely. I would have been so heartbroken otherwise. It stressed me out to watch this; I was so worried!!
@@cbazxy2697 What a horrible thing to say! We need to FIX the problem!!! Penguins have every right to be here, it's their planet too!! AND look at how adorable they are; why on earth would you want them to go extinct?!!? You really are a monster!!
@@blairariavanderkamp3405 he is just speaking truth. no lies have been said by him. its true, climate change makes the ice melt, penguins need ice and cold environments. climate change will sadly kill them off over time. He never said he wants them to go extinct, and I agree penguins have every right to be here.
@@user-wl4qs8xl3r I know but it's the way that he said it. We are not doing them a favour by warming the atmosphere and making their living conditions unsuitable.
My heart just melted at the beauty of the colony's unity. Our Creator gives us this great example of love. How beautiful!
I had to keep myself from crying. The poor little ones and the dad. This is a great series.
I cried.
@@KP-om9fj i am toooo, like a loser😭😭😂
@@cloverisblue You’re not a loser
@@cloverisblue you're not a loser! You're just the way all human beings should be and most aren't!!! Having space for others and animals in your heart is a gift!!!! ❤
Its toxic to think a person crying is a loser.
Lost baby in freezing temps! The tears I already knew I’d shed. When she came up behind him, I could hear him cry “Mommy!” 😢
Yeah 😭
Goodness! The baby really didn't look like it was going to make it!
Why am I crying that was so heartbreaking yet so wholesome
I only cried while Watching Planet Earth III when 5 Wolf pups lost their Mother (two days ago).
These sweet, beautiful birds live in such brutal weather. But it's wonderful how they all come together to battle those below freezing temperatures. So amazing.
A mother's love for her baby. So beautiful.
OMG 😲 three Tigers in same time

Father too ! ☺️
Not irl though
The moment the dad took a plunge once he realized he'd made it is so cute. I felt his relief too.
Respect to all those penguin mothers❤️
A good number of us have something to learn from these loving penguins
This is the most heartbreaking and panic inducing, yet oh so heartwarming series yet. I care about this little penguin more than my own life ha.
What a good thought! You're a great human being. #Respect for you and always remain so!
I know right...In the first few minutes when baby was unable to find mom, I just thought I would not mind dying in that cold if just I can help them meet.
I saw this documentary a couple of weeks ago & I loved it & I love Snow Chick, this little guy is truly a survivor. It was about an hour but I wish it was longer.
Cap
This was so emotional! So glad the baby penguin and the daddy penguin survived!
,,) ldl 1:55
i couldn’t be a wildlife photographer, i wouldn’t capture any good photos or videos because my tears would constantly be blocking my view
I have no right to complain about anything after watching this😢
When the mother penguin found her baby, I jumped for joy, tears welling up in my eyes.
It was a relief to see a happy ending.
Incredible! These chicks and adults are toasty in the center at 37c in -60c blizzard! Their bodies are the protection, they don’t need anything but each other. Anything is possible to these tough penguins. Incredible!!
Now if only humans could get with the program and start supporting and caring for each other... But we're the higher species, right?
@@tyeshadurant3298 populations that go trough hard times get more compassionate and strong,when we were hunter gatherers we were obligated to be togheter for survival,maybe after this era we will evolve and be more close to each other than ever
@@Andrea-fd2bw I hope you're right. It's a beautiful thing to observe both animals and humans taking care of each other.
I am now learning that there is nothing that lives on its own in the universe of God except the selfish heart of man, everything in nature lives to serve another the penguin love for its chick, there uniting to warm them selves and in turn warm themselves and when warm give way for others to warm themselves and humans we care about our own selves, indifferent to the needs of others. Each time I see in nature the principle of Love which is seeks not her own. More so in the Lord I am humbled. May God help us to live n perfect harmony with each other.
@@patrickorone1149 So true
The devotion of parents and colonies to each other was complementary. And magnificent.
So glad the cute baby penguin was found . I for sure would have cuddled him ♥️🥰.
So relieved to see the baby penguin found by its mother!
0:47 poor tiny penguin 😢 life is so tough
Damn nature you a Savage 😠
3:43 Ah yes, the meme
It looked like they did a high five with their wings and beak when dad made it back!
Literally cried when the mother finally found her baby and hugged him
*I have never seen such an amazing, heart warming scene with teamwork in animals lives or penguins . What an incredibly brave piece of filming and this cameraman deserves even an Oscar award !!!* 🙏💖💐
cameramans are immortal against everything mother nature throws at em 👆
But seriously, that filming really is absolute masterclass even in tough conditions
Teamwork? All the other pinguïns didn't do anything?
🙄 i guess ants don't count as teamwork
@@apollofell3925 Ants team works are not heart warming 🙄
@@traveltectours6561 It's a little dumb to dismiss ants like that, but okay. Have you seen the amazon river dolphins that help humans fish? Have you seen elephants adopt orphaned elephant babies? Plenty of other animals work together.
Penguins are such precious creatures. Protect them at all costs!
Sage survivalists. You can't help feeling sheer admiration for these extraordinary creatures.
Man, it's heartbreaking. 😥
The father's loneliness hits different💔
I'm happy the daddy made it back safely. Such strength to keep going forward during that type of weather.
I was crying in pain i thought the baby penguin wasn’t gonna make it but this is the most dramatic stories 10000%
Ever since seeing March of the Penguins I have such respect for these animals. They are true warriors! I love this clip here and I was glad they all found each other and stayed as warm as possible.
-60 outside but inside it's 37. Amazing how just cuddling together can bring such warmth.
I held my breath hoping for a happy ending. Thank you for sharing amazing footage in such a hostile environment.

And you cant call either cuz they dont ever pick up the phone😂
Its a relief that both the baby and the father penguin make it on time. Happy new year everyone.
I cant imagine being the camera guy and just watching this baby penguin lost in the snow looking for her mother. Knowing where shes at and being unable to help as its part of nature. Just standing recording and just hoping that this baby will find its mom really eats away at your insides.
Idk why I watch these..they always have me in tears. Nothing else does it like animal ones. They’re so innocent. Nature is cruel, which we all know. Truly survival of the fittest.
Oh babyyyy. I never thought a penguin ever felt too cold. I thought they were made to handle coldness. So happy for papa penguin too.
They are.... but I don't think you quite grasp just how cold -60C actually is. You couldn't even register that temp on a standard thermometer, because mercury freezes at -39!
Is it -60C with windchill or without? Even -60C with windchill is terrifying, but if it's -60C without windchill and a 100km gust, then that's absolutely bonkers. Penguins are truly unbelievable animals to be able to survive in such inhospitable conditions 😰
You are mom
THANK GOD THE ENDING WAS HAPPY... for both the little Chick and the father...
No humans, no taxes, no war. But cold as hell.
It’s ok little one your mommy’s here(1:09)
This too dramatic seeing the struggle over lone father make my heartsick but any story about penguins colony's never cease amaze me. I love emperor penguin so much
Respect to the mothers and fathers who works hard for safety of home
props to cameraman for enduring the blizzard just to show penguins
The baby is so brave and determined to find mom. I was getting nervous watching it.
Life is really fascinating.
Imagine, before modern comforts, we had similar worries. Just think about all the similar stories with people from age old that we never heard of. We shared the struggle for survival.
Wow...what a thought provoking comment...well done and hello from Canada

Emperor penguins are one the most fascinating species on Earth.
I felt a hell lot of different emotions in this 4 minutes of time span 😶
At 3:15 that dad made me cry, it reminded me of how penguin was walking to his death in the sewer in batman.
While watching the video im under a thick blanket in 17 degrees, can not imagine how could i survive there? Those penguins stand tall in harsh weather so touching, the penguine’s message: not bc im cute so i have an easy life..😅 it even challenges me everyday, so human we have no reason to give uppp… it really inspired me and my cattt 🎉❤🎉
i felt blessed by god when mother came and tucked it away into warmth.
This was such a rollercoaster of emotions.
Respect and gratitude for camera person and crew. Heart goes out with penguins . This is indeed a tough time.
this 5minutes clip was enough to show what kind of attitude we should pose towards life
My grandma loved this video! We have never seen this kind of animal in our lives so that’s really special.
Okay this is more dramatic than any movie I’ve seen, my eyes are tearing and I’m so happy they are safe 💕
Да, это точно, тоже чуть не плачу. Мне очень нравятся пингвины.
Amazing how penguins work as a team to keep each others warm and their nestlings all through the winter storm also males can go without food for a few months to care for their nestlings I enjoyed watching this short video worth every minute Mahalo BBC Earth 🐧🐧🐧
You have to watch the film/movie March of the Penguins...you will thank me for it....shows every step of the father and mother penguin....AMAZING footage
Mothers penguins do the same, they take turn for each task that need to be done.

I'm spending NYE rooting for a baby penguin
Oh I'm so grateful
Penguins are so resilient in such harsh weather conditions. Truly remarkable!!!
Awww nobody can thanks enough for mother.

Oh thank God :)
Everyone's talking about the penguins, and rightfully so, but damn I feel sorry for the poor cameramen who had to film all this in the same sub zero temperatures and wind.

I swear i just wanted to give that baby a hug😭 what a harsh world even for animals
That made me cry...so glad for the baby..how hard life is as any bird really ..very touching indeed
What nail-biting episode of "Penguins trying to return to flock before freezing". Seriously, I have intense respect for these flight-less birds.
Love Penguins❤
