Whe i was a child i like thise type videos 😊
Big fish
" …. A new technique .." looks like a fable of the ant & the cricket. A reverse version, no ethical lesson. Sad, but for such an unusual behavior, we humans are behind it ….
Porquê é que os vídeos das baleias são tão mágicos …serenidade, gentileza e algo transcendental!! Incrível…Estes seres especiais não deviam ser mortos pelos humanos, um crime!!

Good morning. I would like you to make a documentary about marine life on the coasts of southern Chile. I am referring to underwater life. I think that in addition to my gratitude, you would also have the gratitude of many people.
Because I think the information available in that area is quite limited. Thank you very much.
ضخمه جدا جميل
relax, thanks
"If we could only halt our unrestrained plunder of the ocean, its habitats and species would recover."
The people in control of this have had a hundred thousand loraxes tell them the same thing, and still humanity presses on. We're not gonna stop until it's too late.
I Love our Creator 🤍👏🏾😁
Потрясающе!
That one scoop of whale mouth will feed me for a lifetime 😅
