00:00The dance of love that dances in the snowy fields, the skillful hunting of birds that live in the city, the surprising wisdom to live, the passionate proposal, and the warm-hearted appearance of child-rearing.
00:20The great identity of Hayabusa, known in the genome analysis.
00:27The size of the smallest bird in the world.
00:31And the biggest flying bird in history is completely restored.
00:37From the world of birds to the golden age, we will explore the secrets of birds with the latest science.
00:50Hayabusa, Tokyo
00:57We are in the forest.
01:01Where do you think we are?
01:04You will be surprised to hear where we are.
01:08We are in the middle of Tokyo.
01:12There is such a place.
01:14We are at the Natural Education Center in Minato-ku.
01:17I can hear the voice of birds.
01:20We walked a lot, but it's always green.
01:23There is a beautiful pond behind us.
01:26It's a nice place.
01:28Hello, I'm Kokado from Yocchi.
01:31I'm Shizuka Oya.
01:33Today, we will explore the secrets of birds.
01:36We will be guided by Dr. Tori.
01:39Dr. Nishiumi Nishiumi, a professor of science at the National Museum of Science.
01:45He is a bird specialist who specializes in breeding and evolution.
01:54Dr. Nishiumi Nishiumi, a professor at the National Museum of Science.
01:58I'm Nishiumi Nishiumi, and I study birds at the National Museum of Science.
02:03Nice to meet you.
02:04This is a breeding facility for birds at the Natural Education Center.
02:09Unexpected birds are breeding here, too.
02:13Unexpected birds.
02:15Are there birds that don't seem to be in the middle of Tokyo?
02:19That's right.
02:21I'm looking forward to it.
02:23I only see pigeons and crows in Tokyo.
02:26I'm looking forward to seeing various birds.
02:30Here is a bird quiz.
02:32A bird quiz.
02:34Let's get started.
02:36How many species of birds do you think there are in the world?
02:40How many species?
02:42In the world.
02:44In the world.
02:46Are they the species we have now?
02:48That's right.
02:50I'll give you a hint.
02:52I don't want to give you a weird number.
02:56I'll give you a hint.
02:58There are about 6,500 species of mammals in the world.
03:026,500 species of mammals?
03:07500 species.
03:09500 species?
03:11There are 6,000 species of mammals in the world.
03:14That's not a small number.
03:16Isn't 500 a lot?
03:18No, it's definitely a lot.
03:22I'll give you a hint.
03:26There are about the same number of mammals.
03:296,500 species.
03:306,500 species?
03:32It's exactly the same as mammals.
03:34The same?
03:36There are 500 species of parrots.
03:386,500 species.
03:40The answer is 11,000 species.
03:43There are about twice as many.
03:46I told you there are 500 species.
03:48I thought there were more mammals.
03:51Why?
03:53There are various species of mammals.
03:55Among the falcons...
03:57Why falcons?
03:58How many species?
04:00Why falcons?
04:02Falcons are the most common species of mammals.
04:05That's rare.
04:07There are about twice as many species of mammals.
04:11Really?
04:13There are 11,000 species of mammals in the world.
04:17How many are there in Japan?
04:20There are about 650 species of mammals in Japan.
04:25You're lying!
04:26It's a story about the species of Japan.
04:29You misheard me.
04:31That's not true.
04:33How many are there in Tokyo?
04:36In Tokyo and here,
04:39there are about 100 species of mammals per year.
04:46Really?
04:48In the wild?
04:50Of course.
04:52Why are there so many birds?
04:54The evolution of birds has been going on for a long time.
05:01There was a time when there were dinosaurs.
05:04Were there any birds?
05:06There are birds in Stelanodon.
05:08Stelanodon is flying.
05:10That's a bird!
05:12It has wings.
05:14That's not a bird.
05:16That's a green dragon.
05:18Birds evolved from dinosaurs.
05:21Really?
05:23That's what people say.
05:25Have you found any recently?
05:28Have people been saying that for a long time?
05:30It's been relatively recent.
05:32I went to a dinosaur museum and heard about it.
05:36It's very similar to a bird.
05:39It's a survivor of a dinosaur.
05:42Dinosaurs and birds don't have much in common.
05:45I have a question.
05:47Was there a bird like this in the dinosaur era?
05:52Yes.
05:54There was a bird like this in the dinosaur era.
05:57There was?
05:59There was a bird with teeth.
06:02The only ones that survived the extinction of dinosaurs
06:05were the birds with the beak they have now.
06:09They survived.
06:11There were three species left.
06:16That's why there are 11,000 species now.
06:20They were divided into three species.
06:23What are the three species?
06:26One is a bird of the ostrich family.
06:29The other is a bird of the parakeet family.
06:32There is also a bird called a green dragon.
06:36Other than that, they are all birds.
06:38Are they bigger than they are now?
06:42In terms of size?
06:44I think so.
06:46There weren't many small birds.
06:49They are relatively big birds.
06:53Even after the extinction of dinosaurs,
06:56birds have survived and evolved in various ways.
07:00They have adapted to various environments on Earth.
07:03Surprisingly, there are many birds living on the land of the city.
07:10This is a beautiful-colored rhododendron.
07:14This is the smallest woodpecker in Japan.
07:20This is a female rhododendron.
07:23The male gives her a bug as a gift and proposes to her.
07:27There are birds that breed and raise children in the city.
07:31This is a female rhododendron.
07:33The male is in the middle of breeding.
07:40This bird is also in the middle of breeding.
07:43Where is the female?
07:45She is hiding under the belly of the parakeet.
07:53Pay attention to the thin beak of the rhododendron.
07:57The diving of the rhododendron is very exuberant.
08:02Pay attention to the fact that there is not much splash of water.
08:08The beak is very long.
08:12This shape has very little resistance to water.
08:20The beak is like a forest.
08:23The beak is like a forest.
08:26This is a video of the center of Japan.
08:33Are there many birds that hunt fish?
08:38Yes, there are some birds that eat fish.
08:44There are many ways to eat fish.
08:48There are many ways to eat fish.
08:53The hunting of rhododendron is very interesting.
08:59Rhododendrons are a little bigger.
09:03Rhododendrons have very long legs.
09:06Rhododendrons live in rice fields.
09:09This is a bird quiz.
09:12Do you come here regularly?
09:14I come here when I forget.
09:16What is the best way to catch fish?
09:221. Use bait like fishing.
09:282. Use feathers like a net.
09:343. Wait in a trap like a spider's web.
09:39I saw a video of a turtle eating a fish.
09:52I think the best way to catch fish is to use bait like fishing.
09:58I think the best way to catch fish is to use bait like fishing.
10:03Let's see the answer.
10:05I got it.
10:07What is it doing?
10:09It's looking at the fish.
10:12There is something floating on the ground.
10:17There is something floating on the ground.
10:20What is it?
10:24It's amazing.
10:26There is a bug floating on the ground.
10:31It's eating the fish.
10:35What is the best way to catch fish?
10:38It's amazing.
10:40It's very smart.
10:42It catches the fish by itself.
10:44It's the same as fishing.
10:47It returns the fish to the trap.
10:50It eats the fish.
10:52It's amazing.
10:54It catches the bug first.
10:57When it catches the bug, it thinks it can eat the fish.
11:01When it catches the bug, it thinks it can eat the fish.
11:04Does it eat the bug?
11:06It doesn't eat small bugs.
11:09It uses the bug as a bait.
11:12It uses the bug as a bait.
11:14It catches sea bream with shrimp.
11:16It's amazing.
11:18It's smart.
11:22Some birds use speed to hunt.
11:26What is the secret of Hayabusa?
11:32Hayabusa is the fastest bird in the world.
11:38It's as big as a crow.
11:41Recently, it has been breeding in the city.
11:44It made a nest in the middle of the cliff and raised Hina.
11:48The male and female cooperate to raise Hina.
11:53Hayabusa's parents brought food to Hina.
11:58The male brought food.
12:01The female brought food.
12:06The male's body is smaller than the female's.
12:08The female took the food.
12:14The female gave the food to Hina.
12:20The female laid eggs and protected Hina.
12:27When predators come, the bigger the body is, the stronger it is.
12:34That's why it's easy to protect Hina.
12:43Hayabusa.
12:45It's cool.
12:47Hayabusa is called Hayabusa.
12:50Is it called Hayabusa because it's fast?
12:53Yes.
12:55Hayabusa is the name of Shinkansen.
12:58I thought Hayabusa was fast.
13:01Hayabusa is faster than Shinkansen.
13:05Shinkansen is very fast.
13:08Hayabusa is faster than Shinkansen.
13:10How fast is Hayabusa?
13:12Hayabusa is 300 km per hour faster than Shinkansen.
13:16Hayabusa is faster than Shinkansen.
13:19Hayabusa is the fastest bird in the world.
13:24Hayabusa is the fastest bird in the world.
13:26Hayabusa is the fastest bird in the world.
13:28There are some birds that fly horizontally faster than Hayabusa.
13:32But Hayabusa is faster than Shinkansen.
13:36Let's do a quiz about Hayabusa.
13:40Quiz about Hayabusa.
13:42What kind of bird is close to Hayabusa?
13:461. A friend of a hawk.
13:492. A friend of a parrot.
13:523. A friend of a owl.
13:56What?
13:58Hayabusa is the closest to Hayabusa.
14:00It's a trick, right?
14:02I'm sure it's you.
14:04I'm sure it's you.
14:06I think it's a friend of a hawk.
14:08Hayabusa is a friend of a hawk.
14:10But we didn't give a quiz about Hayabusa.
14:12It's too easy to understand.
14:14We shouldn't doubt it.
14:16We should look at the bird carefully.
14:18We should look at the bird carefully.
14:19I'm sure you're watching TV.
14:22I'm sure it's a friend of a hawk.
14:24Really?
14:26I'm sure it's a friend of a hawk.
14:31A friend of a parrot?
14:33Hayabusa is a friend of a hawk.
14:37I'm sure it's a friend of a parrot.
14:41Please give me the correct answer.
14:44The correct answer is a friend of a parrot.
14:47Hayabusa is a friend of a parrot.
14:49We found that Hayabusa is a friend of a parrot.
14:56What?
14:58Is this correct?
15:00Hayabusa is a friend of a parrot.
15:02I've never seen a parrot flying.
15:05What?
15:07Yes, you have.
15:09I've only seen a parrot on the shoulder.
15:11I can't see a parrot with the same species.
15:13We conducted a genome analysis recently.
15:15I see.
15:17and that's how I found out.
15:20So you found out recently?
15:21Yes, I found out relatively recently.
15:23So before you found out, what species was the parrot?
15:27It was thought to be the same as the hawk.
15:30So the parrot was closer to the hawk than the hawk?
15:33Yes, genetically.
15:34Wow, that's interesting.
15:36Yes.
15:37Based on the hypothesis of the latest evolutionary system
15:40that was unraveled in the genome analysis research,
15:44we decided to hold a special exhibition
15:47to introduce the structure of birds' bodies,
15:50their mysterious ecology, and their secrets
15:52at the National Museum of Science and Technology.
15:54Is this the first time you've held a special exhibition
15:57with the theme of birds?
15:59Yes, that's right.
16:01We haven't done this before.
16:02That's right.
16:03I think I've done a lot of bird exhibitions,
16:06but this is the first time I've done it with the latest technology.
16:09It's a one-off exhibition.
16:12That's right.
16:13Mr. Nishiumi has shown us a special collection of birds
16:16that have not yet been released to the public.
16:21This is the collection of birds at the National Museum of Science and Technology in Tsukuba.
16:26This is a collection of birds of all species.
16:30There are a lot of different birds,
16:33but there are about 5,000 specimens.
16:38There are about 20,000 specimens in total.
16:46This is a collection of birds of various species,
16:50such as cygnets and small birds.
16:55This is a collection of birds of the Chamimichu Bridge,
17:02and this is a collection of birds of the Andes Mountains in South America.
17:07These are very beautiful birds.
17:11Out of a vast collection of specimens of about 20,000 birds,
17:15the best-looking birds will be exhibited in a special exhibition.
17:22In addition, we will reproduce the large-scale ecological model
17:26of Peragornis sandelsi, which survived about 26 million years ago.
17:33What is the world's largest bird that can fly 7 meters when it spreads its wings?
17:43The world's largest bird that can fly.
17:46What kind of bird is it?
17:49It's cool.
17:51It's amazing. Peragornis.
17:53I've never seen it before.
17:55Did it have teeth on its beak?
17:58It doesn't have teeth, but its beak is jagged like a tooth.
18:02That's interesting.
18:04Is that a real Peragornis sandelsi?
18:07Yes, it is.
18:08It's very interesting.
18:10It's very interesting.
18:11I'm very curious.
18:12It must be very scary when it's close to you.
18:14If it were in a museum, it would be fine.
18:18But in reality, it's very scary.
18:19It's amazing.
18:20Are there many Peragornis sandelsi birds in this museum?
18:25Yes, mainly Peragornis sandelsi.
18:28It's a real Peragornis sandelsi.
18:31This one is a reproduced Peragornis sandelsi.
18:36There are other things to see.
18:39What I want you to see is that there are a lot of fossils.
18:46Fossils show the characteristics of a bird in a dinosaur.
18:56Does it mean that there are similarities between dinosaur fossils and bird fossils?
19:01That's right.
19:03You can feel that birds have evolved from dinosaurs.
19:09I think it's amazing just by listening to the story.
19:12There are about 500 specimens of Peragornis sandelsi.
19:20I want you to see them.
19:24Here's another bird quiz.
19:28Here's another bird quiz.
19:30Peragornis sandelsi is the largest bird in the world.
19:34How big is the world's smallest bird?
19:39I think it's as big as my little finger.
19:42No way.
19:44No, no, no.
19:46It's an insect.
19:48I think it's a bird that thinks it's an insect.
19:51Is that the case?
19:53How big is the world's smallest bird?
19:55It's about 3 centimeters.
19:57The smallest bird is 3 centimeters.
20:05Let's take a look at the VTR.
20:09The world's smallest bird is the Peragornis sandelsi.
20:13It's 4 to 6 centimeters in length.
20:17If you compare it to an insect, it's smaller than a fly.
20:27The Peragornis sandelsi is about the size of a red bean.
20:30It weighs 0.3 grams.
20:32It's lighter than a 1-yen coin.
20:35It lives in Cuba.
20:37It nourishes the nectar of its flowers.
20:42Here it is.
20:46It's so cute.
20:48Is this the Peragornis sandelsi?
20:50Yes, it's the world's smallest bird.
20:52It's not in Japan?
20:53No, it's not in Japan.
20:55How big is it?
20:57It's about 4 to 5 centimeters in length.
21:00It weighs 2 grams.
21:022 grams?
21:04So the Peragornis sandelsi is about half the size of the Peragornis sandelsi.
21:07That's right.
21:09It's as big as my little finger when I was born.
21:14It's so small.
21:16This is the model of the Peragornis sandelsi.
21:19It's as big as my little finger.
21:22Can I touch it?
21:24It's as big as my little finger.
21:27Look at this.
21:29It's so small.
21:31It's amazing.
21:32It's because it was born from this body.
21:34It's so small.
21:35If you don't lay eggs, it won't taste good.
21:38That's true.
21:40Here it is.
21:42This is the Peragornis sandelsi.
21:44It's the biggest one.
21:46So this is the smallest bird so far.
21:49It's the biggest and smallest bird so far.
21:53It's amazing.
21:55It looks like it was born from this body.
21:58It's so cute.
22:00It's amazing.
22:02It's amazing.
22:04The world of birds is amazing.
22:07The Peragornis sandelsi grows in this forest.
22:11They found Peragornis sandelsi in the city of Tokyo.
22:16In Okinawa, Amami, and Hokkaido, they explore the precious birds.
22:23And the amazing life of penguins.
22:26They explore the secret of the miraculous evolution of birds.
22:30Look forward to part 2.
