“I’m glad she can make the decision by herself”
*pushes her off the boat*
Yeah, I heard and saw that too!!!
well she didn't try to get back in ;)
*my dad making me choose a career he wants* "I'm glad he can make the decision by himself"
my dad throwing me into the pool so I can learn how to swim
😂
Man: pushes penguin into water.
Also Man: it's great to see her make that decision
I laughed my ass off
Lol I know right. Man: she started eating... man shoves fish into penguin mouth smh
That's what I said! 😅
Like parents kicking their 20 something year old out of the house.
“Oh he finally made the decision to be a man and move out. We were very proud,”
Hahahahahaha
They threw Rosita into the water, and pushed Natalia from the boat "It was amazing to see her making that final decision" 🤣
😂😂
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.
I would have never pushed her off the boat. The moment of “gratitude” was perhaps a moment of panic instead. I hope they’re okay.
They are certainly dead.
@@siqckhow would you know, did they tell you that?
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.
@@siqck Moron
@@siqckI'm sure as soon as they got deep enough in the water a sea lion ripped them both to shreds and had them for dinner. 😬
The fact that she had a trauma response to how she was treated regarding water and was found shaken is making me cry for her
its a penguin and its fine now
You are a beautiful person.
@@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.
I cried a tear and got emotional when Natalia looked at Carlos before they pushed her to jump. She was hesitating whether she wants let go or not. I feel the attachment and her love towards her rescuers, animals need to be loved too, they are like humans and they got feelings too. This is really special. 🥰
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.
@@ConversasdaAlma323 drugs are bad mkay.
@@invaderjoshua6280 can tell by you
Agreed. Wished they had time to let her go on her own...I somehow didn't like the push.. 😭
I didn't see Natalia making that decision to return to the water, she was nudged while Rosalita freely jumped in. That was sad to see Natalia being unsure. I hope she's living a good life and no human has interfered with her again like the jerk tourist always do when it comes to these sweet penguins and sea lions, and turtles etc.
No Rosalita wouldn’t have been able to stay because she was dropped in.
6:17
they literally threw rosalita into the water, what are you talking about
Sometimes you need a little prompting
I think the penguins preferred to be pampered. That's why Natalia hesitated. They probably got ripped to shreds by a sea lion not long after. Lol.
@@blackwater7183 : Sea lions hunt penguins and penguins hunt fish. That´s life.
I think people who choose to help animals are some of the greatest kindest people on earth.
Penguin: *just got used too an ever slighly bigger pool of water!*
"Okay, I think they're ready for the ocean!"
Penguin: "Dude, what the heck!"
Right?!?
😂😂😂😂
that made me laugh out FAR to loud haha
Right?
I hope the penguin has the skills to hunt and evade predators.
Why would a penguin be afraid of water?
Orcas: "Don't know"
Leopard seals: "Yeah, no idea"
😂😂
Your famous now
their team name was "orca"... like.... that's really ironic
but also orca.
Sharks: "hehe"
@@incognitodon5779 ....Ah, but they do live in South American Waters around
Chile, Peru, and Patagonia!!
I love this older guy giving advice over the phone he sounds like he has real passion for animals
He was encouraging others to be patient
This was incredibly heartwarming to watch. When she hesitated on the edge of the boat and looked back at the men who saved her was proof that animals feel kindness and love. She’s sweet and I hope she and her friend have a great life in the wild.
I thought so too. I thought she was trying to communicate a message telepathically to them.🤣🤣
These Dodo videos make me cry like a baby, lol. 😅
@@0ChildStar
For real.😂
Nah she was actually protesting that they didnt taught her how to climb the cliff
Look ♫ Look ♫ Look ♫ 💕
The duck is cute 🦆💕
May you be healed 😊
Natalia: "I'm scared..."
Rosita: "I'm scared too..."
Natalia and Rosita: "Let's be scared together, best friend!"
me and my gf in a nutshell
Aww
@@anactualalpaca7016 😂
That's sweet :)
Where have I heard that before? 🤔🤔🤔
Let's hope she's fine. It was heart warming how just she made that final decision on her own, waving goodbye and jumping into the water on her own, holding her nose and crossing her legs on the jump. And the way she instinctively started swimming for shore was reassuring too, especially since her friend swam off earlier. Great job. I can't wait for my 17-year-old to leave the nest next week, when he turns 18. I will throw all his clothes out on the front yard before he returns from city college, waiting for him at the front door, applauding his decision to leave home on his own. I'm already tearing up.
lol
we didnt watch the same video that penguin was pushed in the water like get out of here we are done
@@dji4everthat’s exactly what that person said 😂
@SilentEmotion it’s called sarcasm. 🙄🤦🏼♀️
Y’all are relentless on these rescuers in the comments 😂😭💀
As much as I can appreciate organizations like these who do what they can with limited resources and against all odds animals face in the wild I have to say chances are Natalia did not survive. She clearly wasn't ready, she wasn't just going to just find fish floating around waiting for her to eat them, she wasn't sure about the water so much so that seeing the other penguin in the water didn't even encourage her to follow in and do the same. She most likely panicked and tried to reach and stay on dry land again once she realized her humans were not coming back for her.
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.
Agreed. Obviously wasn't ready.
Natalia: Bro, how am I supossed to fish? I didn´t see that at schoo-
Guy: Good decision! _pushes her off the boat_
She made her choices!
-hooman
Ikr? What if they forgot hunting skills and are just waiting for people to come handing out dead fish? 😬😭
@@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.
Natalia's traumatic experience of being thrown into the water by well-meaning tourists reminds me of my childhood. Many parents used to throw their kids into a pool or lake to "teach" them how to swim. Often, that just made them fear water. It really takes care and patience, even with a penguin.
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.
My dad did the same thing and now I can swim but not on the surface 🥲
This is no joke. PARENTS DON'T DO THIS!!!
Aww! That was so sweet to watch. Pretty bizarre that a natural born water animal has a water phobia. I'm glad these guys were so incredibly kind and patient with her. The ending definitely was bittersweet. ❤
I'm not crying....yes I am!! Tears of joy for those babies. ❤❤
Me too. 🥹
❤❤❤
She IS just the cutest little bird.
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?!
@@wilsonweiseng6485 Please do show me a penguin that can fly...
All the scripted phone call scenes were super strange.. but the penguin rehabilitation was wonderful.
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.
You guys did good.🙏buuut she looked back helplessly but she was pushed against her will.
Love Penguins 🐧
They are so adorable. I'm so worried that they are actually not ready for the new life. Bless them.
I usually love The Dodo videos and feel happy/satisfied afterwards. But this one left me worried with anxiety. I hope Natalia and Rosalina are doing ok. That release into to the ocean seemed too quick 🥹
RIGHTTT
100%
The fact that they have their own rooms makes me smile uncontrollably 😂😂😂
Yes, that's hilarious.
More like dungeon prison cell kekl
"It was amazing to see her making that final decision."
...I mean. Preeetty sure that booty push kind of made her decision for her.
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.
Penguins are just so darn cute! ❤️
STAY STRONG LITTLE NATALIA 💙🐧💙✨✨✨✨
I could not stop myself from crying when I saw Natalia trembling out of fear. That's what trauma does not just to humans but to beings. It made a penguin have fear of water which is their natural habitat. I wish these gals a fulfilling lives
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.
Man : Hey Natalia is coming around ..... She is eating her fish and she is loving it
(Meanwhile Man opens her mouth and forces a fish in)
Another Man : Glad she is loving it!
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.
🤣😂😂😂😂
Thankyou so much for helping this beautiful poor penguin ❤❤❤
So beautiful!!!! Thank you so much for caring for Natalia and her friend. May she live to be free, surrounded by other penguins who will both encourage her and give her a community to belong. Good job gentlemen!
Dude pushed her then said, "it was so great seeing her make this final decision." 😂
She really did 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂
Natalia was just so little and no momma & daddy to show her the way penguins are supposed to act and hunt. Thanks Carlos❤️
@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.
@@carmelitajones7779 well said

Thanks.
Thank you so much for saving these two amazing penguins! Your caring and dedication to their rehabilitation is truly appreciated!!! 🐧 ❤ 👍
What a lovely story. It made me cry. Thank you to this man for his love and dedication.
A penguin scared of water. Now that is something you don't hear every day.
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
I'm scared she wasn't ready. I hope shes doing well out there.
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.
The amount of times I've seen a real connection between human rescuers and animals being rescued is amazing. Alot of them created a bond
“It was wonderful seeing her take that final decision!”
*Pushes penguin overboard*
This demonstrates how intelligent animals are! Yes, they can actually learn to overcome fears from the encouragement and skill building from loving humans 🙏❤️🐼
Can't wait till aliens teach us how to create everlasting peace
@@DJC_2003 it begins in ur mind
@@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?
I really wish they would have put live fish into the pool to see if she knew how to hunt for herself before releasing her into the wild. Of course, there is a chance that she will pick it up from watching other penguins, but she still seemed very unsure of her surroundings.
💯
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.
k internet penguin expert
.. beautiful...Beautiful...BEAUTIFUL! ❤ ..thank you...Thank You ...GRACIAS 🙏🏽 🇨🇦
Great people! Real People who saves the nature and the world ❤
It seems like there was a massive step missed, in living in a large pool environment, with rocks etc for her to become more adjusted without any help, before she was released. Going straight into a deep, tidal area with high rocks etc, seemed unfair. Well done on how they brought her on, but I can only hope she managed to get ashore and not drown from exhaustation in that initial release.
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?
The moment the penguin was looking back at the people was very emotional.
Omg so adorable Natalia and Rosita , you guys are awesome 👏🏼 for loving and caring for the little penguins 🐧 🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵
She couldn't enter that kiddie pool without a ramp, and they drop them off where there are ragged cliffs?!
Yes I thought that too. And how is she going to survive. Not having dead fish as a supply. I wonder if she is still alive
I've been re-thinking about this for weeks!
That's how they live and nest, if Carlos had researched the spot...
They cant teach her everything. She has to learn on her own and other penguins can help her.
@@Aurabora54321 The issue is this specific penguin had barely gotten used to water before getting pushed off.
She definitely had gained confidence, but she definitely wasn't ready to go yet.. I could sense fear and don't want to go kind of a feeling before they pushed
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
Good for you Natalia!! And little Rosita, what a pair of wonderful little cuties!!!
❤️🐧❤️
I am so appreciative of the help they received. Penguins are such adorable little Animals. What a joy to be able to save them!
Live long happy safe healthy lives Natalia and Rosita!!🤗💖🍀🐾🌈☮️🇨🇦
This is wonderful. God bless you all for healing her!
I would have never pushed her off the boat. The moment of “gratitude” was perhaps a moment of panic instead. I hope they’re okay. 🥺
I thought exactly the same
thats what i thought i mean thats why she was so scared
yeah....chances are she got mauled by another animal within the first hour.
there dead not there job to take care of them
The men forcibly throw them to the sea while the poor penguins were so afraid then call it rescue they throw them to desth they are not ment for wild poor penguins
Man I'd be so sad releasing it after all that! But it's what needs to be done, hope that penguin lives a great life
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'm so happy that there are such good people helping these beauties rehabilitate themselves !
Animals are so much smarter than we give them credit for. Thank you to helping this sweet little one learn her potential.
"She's handfed, but she's loving it...." *forcefully shoves fish down her throat*
Hahaha, I had the exact same response 😆
That’s the way mother birds feed their babies in the wild. Perhaps she wasn’t able to feed herself yet or know what to do.
@@LisaSpangenberg No, i get that part of it, I've seen it myself on videos and documentaries, but this guy isn't even giving the bird a chance to eat it on its own, he just pries its mouth open and shoves it down its throat :/
@@killeing if they wait for the penguin to eat by themselves it would’ve probably starved to death out of fear. 😐
@@melz4766 yeah but the overall point i'm making is that there's a big difference between a penguin "loving their food" and someone forcefully shoving it down your throat XD
I wouldn't have sent her back to the ocean but that's just me. She seemed more like a sanctuary penguin, to me and I wonder if she would really integrate well and thrive out there. Hope she's good.
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.
You're the best! Thank you for saving these two precious, adorable penguins!
He pushed Natalia in, she sunk, and was never seen again.
"I'm so proud!"
Hope she can survive the waves splashing to the rocks. That would be hard for her experiencing it the first time alone in the wild/ocean. They should have observed her for the first first few days to weeks before living her alone. Separation from the handlers who took care of her must have been heart breaking to her. Especially that there are predators there, she might not yet ready with such encounter. I wish there’s an update about her now.
i hate to say it but im pretty sure at least one of those two penguins died not too long after this
Exacto, ellos fueron muy descuidados.

Natalia looks back at Carlos, pleading not to push her yet as she wasn't ready to catch fish. She was just in the process of learning how to get used to swimming in the water...Good luck Natalia
and at the end the men excitedly said "Orca" which is name of the organisation but I'm like: Orcas eat penguins :|
@@coeurenpoche Yes orcas eat penguins too. They were too excited to release Natalia.
@@coeurenpoche That has nothing to do with Natalia's freedom...lol

Ya she died in less than 4 weeks in the wild for sure...
@@ohhenry3845 yes possibly... getting in to the water was a struggle. What more it is to hunt fish for food. She'll end up as prey and their effort in rehabilitating her will just be in vain...If I was there, I would train her to catch live fish in the pool for a few months to improve her hunting skills.
These man are doing God work. So amazing patience and care. Thank you. God bless you guys !!
I think they were too small and the water looked too harsh. I pray they are doing well and thriving 🙏🏽
she is so adorable and so is her friend. bless the people who helped her heal her fears.

Soo sweet! 🐧 Natalia wasn’t alone & had help with Rosita! Ty for helping these lil guys! I hope they’re loving their best life! 💞
I hope she's ok. I hope she makes it. This "reality tv" style of filming makes me cringe, the way he said "graba, graba" ("film this") and pushed her when she clearly wasn't ready yet, really bothered me. They retraumatized an already traumatized penguin that should've been in a sanctuary. I just hope she can fish.
agreed
As someone from Peru, by the tone of his voice and the way he said it I believe he was just exited for her. Also, they probably dont have the money to keep her, its Peru you're talking about, money only goes to the politicians. The best possible life she can get its in the wild (they are protected)
@@nicolas2k 👏🏻
Yeah I was kind of shocked about where they threw the penguins in and how rocky the waves were and how there didn't seem to be a shore nearby, just cliffs.
@@whatev466 I think I saw some penguins on the land so I think there might be a shore somewhere offscreen
Natalia really did stop and look back at Carlos. Animals are much smarter than we can ever know.
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 didn’t want her to be sent into the wild. This first thing I thought of was predators. Omg she doesn’t know anything about animals wanting to eat her. I pray she follows the other penguins and is ok…. Plz God watch over Natalia and Rosita.
@@georgebrady5369 yes i now you are right
Great to see that people around this world are there who can really understand the behaviour, psychology of Animal, who can't even speak and share there past traumatized history, and dealing this with a love, care, and hope.... Is really delighted to see this... Every living being needs a love, companion and someone who can find best in you nd motivate you for your effort and make you believe that yes you can do it..... Such a great work man .. you r happy by doing this lovely work and I'm happy by seeing your work .. 🥰🥰🙏🙏
Animals are the BEST, and so are the AMAZING people who help them!!!!!!!! Thank You for all your love and care!!!!!!!!!👍❤️🥰
We’re proud to be partnering with The Dodo on a new series, Saving the Wild! 👏
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 TH-cam!!!
Bruh, she was literally looking at him with such gratitude, and then said her goodbyes. That almost made me cry. Lol
Lil Natalia didn’t say her goodbye 😭😂 they said goodbye for her then pushed her off the boat LMAO
@@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.
I can never get through these videos without tearing up, bless you all 😭
Thanks to all, you are great men and I hope you and Natalia and his friend Rosita a long and beautiful life
Natalia: “You guys, thank you so much for the care, the love and the patience with me. Before I go into the water, I just want you to know how appreciative I am of your kindness. I love you.”
Rosita: “👋🏽💦”
false XD The man olding Rosita pushed her immediatlyout of the boat. The man holding Natalia let her a more time (and finally pushed her) but i am pretty sure that both piguins where having the same kind of feelings
Lol,also in a humorous way..you should of paused Natalia's speech like mid way or something,at a part where she's thanking them,and all of a sudden..splash💦..since Carlos kinda pushed her,pretend as if she was still saying her speech,lol,jk..😅
@The Caring Adolf Hitler right..when I first was reading the comment,I literally was thinking she was going that route..(missed opportunity right there,lol,jk..😂).
"hey guys i just wanted to say than" Y E E T
@@Cat-Nipples lmao 😂 exactly
“Penguin looking back at the men with thoughts of gratitude and memories.”……or the penguin was thinking, “please guys, don’t push me off.” 🙁
Love the people who dedicate their lives to helping any species. 🤗🤗😍
He pushed her into the water and said she’s ready 😭 - my aunt did the same thing and I almost drowned 😃😂
Hello Phoenix
Papi Cliff is a scammer profile, please don't give them any information about yourself.
She was pushed out decision was made for her. I hope she makes it ❤
It was the right decision
What a beautiful story, thank you for your kindness❤
Natalia is surely a cutie!! Ty for saving Natalia and Rosita, grateful for your kindness!!💗💗💗
She didn’t “make that final decision”, she was pushed in…
I don’t even want to finish it now.. 🥲
Exactly
HAHHA I re-watched it and it is funny as hell, you're so right! Anyting for a succes- story right?
still worked out she can't be with humans forever
@@UHoldThat true
Natalia making that final decision? He pushed her off the boat! lmao
right? :(
Your name fits your comment! But you're right XD
I feel she wasn't ready yet to be released.
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.
The beautiful thing is even in poor countries their are still these amazing individuals that dedicate their life to helping animals. Its HOPE. Hope for a better world, better treatment. Making a difference one animal at a time. Outstanding in every way.
Peru is not poor
Lol? Peru is not poor.
😂
Well done you! Thank you for the rescues! They are adorable! ♥️
Awww I’m so happy she overcame her fear,penguins are such majestic creatures,she is absolutely beautiful🐶🐱🐻🦊🐯
Humans have so many varieties of phobias, why should we think that animals are exempt from fear?
Compassion saved Natalia
Well done! Thank you for the rescue! ❤️
I love it PENGUINS FOR LIFE!!! you guys saved penguins who need help we 💝 you for doing that!!!
I’m semi concerned that there wasn’t a way onto land anywhere around where they dropped them off…
Don't be, there's a lot of small islands in front of that area. Islands are protected by the navy and no one is allowed to get near them, unless it's time to get the fertilizer (once a year by an specific company). In front of Punta Hermosa there's even an island called the whale due to an Inca leyend. This just looks like a huge advertisement for this NGO
They’ll be fine. They jump onto the rocks. It’s pretty amazing actually
Seems like it was way too soon they just got used to the big pool and having their own room then dumping them out in the ocean?
@@truly3743 The sooner they're released the better. I'm pretty sure they don't rescue animals and release them before they're ready.
@@truly3743 that penguin is not new to the ocean. The probably know she can survive… or you think they would bother to do all the process just to fail? No one uses resources like that.
That penguin.
I want to hug it her
What a lovely story.. God bless all those who are doing this..
Wonderful!! Thank you for giving this very deserving a penguin her life back and with a friend!! Beautiful!!
Natalia’s final decision was a little “pushy”. But sometimes this is necessary in everyone’s life.
It's like parents and kids. Some are just going their way and some need more time and a little push
"They just needed a little push." - Nick Fury
I mean flying birds always push their fledglings out of the nest to teach them how to fly, in this case it was how to swim
I could swallow this if he hadn't followed up by saying that it was "amazing to see her make that final decision.", as if he hadn't Just been shown being filmed pushing her off. Her will/choices/readiness/decisions were removed at that very moment. Why pretend they were on his or the Dodo's part? There wasn't enough footage of her being prepared for the actual ocean for this to be comfortably overlooked, leaving the viewers to know she'll be just fine. Instead we're left to worry that the little dumpling who navigates a man made pool with ease is safe among weather conditions and countless predators, according to someone who hasn't the patience to wait for her to take the Biggest Leap of her Life on her own...
@@combatgirl38 And I am too a little worried about her. But if she's away from humans and around other penguins, when she gets hungry enough, her natural instincts will kick in. Gosh, I hope she makes it.
Got teary-eyed seeing her stop on the edge and look at him. Such an amazing story
I'm very thankful for you both that saved the penguin's and to those who has a kind heart I, will always support you. Thank you so much 🥰 god bless you 😊
Little moments like these make me happy to be given this life
Final decision? The guy literally pushed her in the water lol.
I wouldn’t be able to let go of her, I get attached to a lot of things especially animals!!! It made me emotional!!
Same! 🥺 I’d definitely have two penguins living in my apartment right now. 😍
@@incognitodon5779 😅 I don’t know but if I ever had the chance I’d find a way lol
They are so cute! ☺️
They will be extinct, seriously you cant take care of penguins. Unless ( Zoo or smth ) Penguins can only stand on a cold, they arent creaturea that you can take care of
Me too..
@@tabssy i understand that. that's why i let go of my turtle and bird even though i adore them. i know that them living where they are supposed to be living is far more important than my feelings!
