Mother Nature is so complex yet amazing, the birds are intelligent enough to let the fish lay eggs before eating them, ensuring themselves more meals in the future.❤
Yes pity we humans dont have the same intelligence😢

Wut?
Oh come on, i can't understand why BBC nature documentaries are all insanely good
The birds are intelligent enough to let the fish lay eggs before eating them, ensuring themselves more meals in the future.
I like the way you think.
If only, they are potential food from the moment they appear on the beach, their strategy is to appear in great numbers, overwhelming predators.
Is this what we call sustainable?
Im sure there are birds who ate fishes while they wriggled, but they went extinct millions of years ago. These birds that “respected” the fish orgy and ate them after sex, survived. Like what you said
@Soulseer Mizutsune That's not capitalism, that's socialism.
It's amazing how animals are intelligent enough to know these things. The shore is the last place I would expect a fish to lay its eggs.
In Alaska the natives cut down branches with pine needles attached and pile them up underwater making it easier for fish to lay there eggs.
@PharoTalon Yeah millions of years of evolution has taught them a thing or two lol
@@unclearnold790 doesn't programming require a programmer?
They taste good man. I hope the cameraman took 7 or 10 fishes to home and cooked it 😋
Already written in Quran Allah gives food to all in different ways. Their beaks are made to such order for fishing.
For those who don't understand how this confuses predators, just see it like picking one movie to watch in netflix in that brief moment in time you are in the mood to watch anything.
LMAO
Accurate
I don't use Netflix. I still don't understand
it might be a sign of disease.
@@Abdullah6213hELloit’s basically having too much option and you can’t choose one,in this scenario the birds have too much fish to choose from and gets confused so the fishes have time
Damn I love nature. Just because animals don't communicate like us or do things like we do doesn't mean they aren't intelligent. They just have a different life with different priorities.
Animals live by instinct, especially simple ones with small brains including fish, etc. They are nature's gift to us more complex beings. But you are right, they are built upon a different priority in this world, and that is to keep multiplying and contribute to the food chain.
Nature continues to blow my mind on a daily basis.
Only one and only God created and planned this
@@bilalgamer1156 Please take your religious claptrap elsewhere.
That is an incredible scene. Those fish formed a strange habit of mating and laying eggs. They are fish. Why do they have to beach themselves to mate but not in the water? Ocean birds have a great chance to feast on them. Truly amazing nature.
😀😇😈😀😇😈
Its not a habit its programmed to do so by god
@@catgames2290 LOL! The Bible-thumper doesnt capitalize God!

I have no idea how comments will handle this video, and I'm pretty sure BBC made it this way on purpose.
Hats off to BBC earth
Nature is so Weird, beautiful, Dangerous, Strange and Amazing all in one
One of the weirdest natural phenomenon I've ever seen! I will show it to my mom who doesn't understand English but will surely be astonished to watch these scenes
Yup, we’re aliens
Great how did it go☺️
I saw thisin an 8mm movie when I was 5 years old or so. I experienced it when I was stationed in San Diego two decades later.
Imagine you don't watch this documentary and one day you go to the beach and see this.... you'd think apocalypse is coming
Damn, that's true....!!!
😂😂👍🏼
Iv seen something like that in news and they said the same thing , but I think that was dead fishes by some earthquake or something
😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂😂Yes very true😅😅

This is just amazing which makes me wonder why would fish get out of their natural habitat for such purpose. Nature always amazes me and BBC had done it again with a great video. Thank you BBC.

@@men264 What an ignorant, lame and lazy thing to say. "Oh this is fascinating, it must be God's doing". If everybody thought like that absolutely no progress would be made as a human species whatsoever.
@@Anticulation chill bro, the pioneers in sience in great numbers were man of faith
@PharoTalon So you would argue that a 'real explanation' that ignores all law of thermodynamics is the better explanation?
@PharoTalon i have logical understanding of them but i grant that im not a fulltime-scientist ;)
Let me tell you just this, god is not an old human being with a lot of power. Of course we as humans try to imagine god in ways that corresponds with what we know and what we can see with our eyes. No, god is spirit, god is eternal in every way and since we live in the world he created we can not describe or even imagine him in a proper way. The bible is just the way he chose to reveal himself to us.
Why so intense music? It's sounds like a crime happening 😆😆
Thousands of fish are raping each other. No crime here at all
@@randomguy4788 . What rape? It's perfectly consensual, every fish there is there for the sole purpose of reproduction, they know what they're in for. They wouldn't be there otherwise.
@Aniket Bhup they have to get married first or else it is a sin

Imagine visiting the beach and all fishes start moaning
Aeugh!

horny sushi tastes better.
Dad, this is where I'm going for fishing.
Some birds are in shock....can't eat the fish just looking at the crowd 😆
fish: desperate to lay eggs
birds: look! its the pizza delivery guy!
i cant stop laughing everytime those fish would go wiggly
So basically this place is a fisherman's paradise...😂
Nature is nature
"Fish are friends, not food!" literally all the birds crossing this beach "Its dinner time!"
I think you mean:

He is a wonderful narrator. I love his passion for the intricate details of nature
But he booed that poor sloth, haha!
@@7MonarC the narrator never writes the script
I don't think his voice would do for this one.
You stupid person. Please no o e ruined anything!!

Thank great camera man.
Nature has its way of replenishing itself, I just hope we as humans respect this routine and not overfish. Amazing job BBC.

Our struggles are nothing compared to basically any other living things. Unless you're a pet to some rich dude, because I've seen some pets that are fed better than most people I know.
??? Yeah man..I'm struggling so badly at this point of my life..you know what?? seeing these keeps me going
Bruce Wayne Your struggles will be over soon my friend..it's just taking its course..wait and act until it passes by..you're special bro 😊
JABRONI TV Thanks bro..that's so nice of you 😊
Yes you are very correct
They mate on land-
I hope that answers you’re question😂😂😂😂
Bros be like "Damn bro! that's just like us spring break in Cancun last year!"
Looking at this reminds me of two fish, swimming thousands of miles to Australia and chased by an army of birds saying, “Mine”
I do really feed sorry for those fishes dying to make sure their species survives. At the same time it makes me feel thankful for being born as human in this time.
Yet we as humans Do The Same Thing!!! We live and grow and learn and evolve, reproduce, then die and do it all over again @!🥰
Thank you bbc.
I am glad there’s no human around otherwise all the fish would be gone
Yanky Jatt Then who filmed the video? 😮
Yanky Jatt Actually this happens on the very busiest beaches in SoCal. Many ppl come just to watch and pick the fish. There's Soo many million's of fish along the shore that ppl leave them alone. Plus it's not pleasant swimming with all these slimy fish.
E. Ende fish
Tell that to the pelicans
🤣🤣🤣
Im assuming these fish are inedible cause this looks like a Fishermans paradise
1. They are delicious pan-fried. That’s the traditional way to cook them.
2. The grunion run has been a Southern California spring and summer ritual for generations. You go to the beach with a bucket and grab as many as you can with your hands. You’re not allowed to use nets or any other tools to catch them. There are local and state regulations restricting when you can take them. When I was a kid, teenagers would clean and cook them right on the beach. They’d bring cooking supplies and other food and make a party of it. But now fires aren’t allowed on the beaches, so everyone just takes them home to cook.
there are too many unique things in this world. I have just seen this at 20 years old
haha...you are..still early
That's really interesting!
Somehung in my bucket list i haven't crossd out yet.
Watching this just after I watched the Cardi B video for WAP makes this so funny😂😂😂😂

Can you eat them? It seems like going there when this happens would be the easiest fishing in the world, lol.
Working hard to keep their legassy for so many coming generations
If I'm in there, I'll take some fish and cook 😅😅😅
if are u a Indian....!!
@@koolis4411 lol who is saying
Lil white brainy whose ancestor looted the Indians and ran away 70years ago
Yeah, bag a few handfuls before the birds do!
Mee too
Shit you are talking !!! Instead why don't you try to save them from predators..The fishes came on the beach to bring new generation and you want to finish and disturb them...Lol
Fish's bucket list would probably look like this:
-grow and enjoy life
-make love at the beach even though it might become risky
That's on my bucket list to.😂😂😂😂
They are on their holidays they love diving and flapping around in the air
Damn
How God created
all these 🥰😳😲😲
