00:00Oh, it's so cute!
00:02It's cool.
00:30Due to its cuteness, there was a complicated situation.
00:34One day, a group of calm kawagondos suddenly appeared.
00:39What happened to the group of kawagondos?
00:45A newborn baby also appeared.
00:50The mystery of the dolphin carrying a water gun full of cuteness is about to begin in the world.
01:00Darwin is here!
01:03September, the spring of the Southern Hemisphere.
01:07After hearing about the mysterious dolphin, the crew came to the Low Back Bay in the northwest of Australia.
01:16A reliable ally came to pick us up right away.
01:22What? The boat landed as it was?
01:26It's a special specification with wheels.
01:30The captain, Cameron Bird.
01:35Can I see a dolphin carrying a water gun?
01:37Of course, you can see it in just five minutes from here.
01:43The captain has been on a whale-watching tour in the surrounding sea for about 20 years.
01:50He is confident that he is the best in the world at seeing a dolphin carrying a water gun.
01:57Huh? There was something.
02:02It's a manta ray. It's almost two meters wide.
02:13The dolphin jumped!
02:18But its head is not round.
02:21It's not round. Unfortunately, it's a different kind of manta ray.
02:28And this time...
02:31It's a kawagondo 10 meters ahead.
02:37Oh, it's a round head.
02:41Here comes the main character, the Australian kawagondo.
02:45It's about two meters long.
02:48It has a round head and round eyes. It's so cute.
02:55It looks like it's smiling.
02:59It's the most popular manta ray.
03:03The kawagondo is a type of manta ray that lives in the coastal areas of Asia.
03:10It was found in the northern sea of Australia and was registered as a new species in 2005.
03:18Among them, the Australian kawagondo is the most densely populated in the world.
03:24About 150 kawagondos live on the coast of about 10 kilometers in radius.
03:31This is the mother and her baby.
03:36The one with a plump belly is a pregnant female.
03:41The five or six of them make a gentle flock.
03:47It looks like they're having fun.
03:54Oh, it's playing with the manta ray.
04:00The big feature of the kawagondo is its head.
04:04It has a round beak like a manta ray.
04:07Generally, a manta ray with a beak will pinch its prey, but the kawagondo has a different way of eating.
04:14I'll tell you more about it later.
04:18And I'm proud to be able to change the angle of its head freely.
04:25Actually, this movement is unusual among the manta ray and the whale.
04:31Ordinary manta rays can withstand the resistance of water when swimming at high speed because of the seven neck bones.
04:42But in the case of the kawagondo, it's like this.
04:47It has few bones, so it can't swim fast.
04:53Instead, it can turn its face in any direction it wants, so it's useful when shooting a water gun.
05:03Now, when will you show me your water gun?
05:08By the way, this is a live-fire.
05:12It's different from a water gun, so don't get it wrong.
05:17Oh, the flock has begun to scatter.
05:23It's moving around on its own.
05:28It's moving its head left and right to explore the sea.
05:34It's moving around on its own.
05:38It's moving its head left and right to explore the sea.
05:47Don't look away. The flock has scattered.
05:51When you shoot a water gun, do it alone.
05:55It's coming this way.
06:00Let's do it.
06:01It was all of a sudden.
06:03Oh, I did it.
06:07The moment it shows its face from the water.
06:10I did it. A water gun.
06:14As soon as it takes a breath, it spits out water from its mouth.
06:19It's flying far beyond expectations.
06:24The distance is 5 meters.
06:28It's almost three times the length of a human body.
06:31First of all, the shooting was a success.
06:34I was able to capture it perfectly with a high-speed camera and a drone.
06:40The reason why a flock can shoot a water gun is
06:44largely related to the shape of its head.
06:50All round-headed dolphins have the ability to shoot a water gun.
06:59You can see it by looking at how they eat.
07:02They eat the five long-things as if they were hand-made.
07:10The secret is to blow out the water strongly
07:16and inhale it strongly.
07:22If you don't have a beak, the muscles of your cheeks and lips move flexibly,
07:27so you can inhale and exhale strongly by squeezing your mouth.
07:34In addition, you can use your tongue skillfully
07:37and push the water out of your mouth at once to fire a water gun.
07:44But what is the purpose of shooting a water gun in the air, not in the water?
07:56To find out the secret,
07:58I was guided to a special place where you can see a water gun well.
08:05It's near the mangrove forest.
08:08Rich nutrients are flowing into the sea.
08:14Especially in spring,
08:16plant plankton proliferate and water becomes cloudy.
08:20Many creatures gather here.
08:26When plant plankton appear on the surface of the water,
08:29small fish gather to eat and make a big bait ball.
08:33It's a great opportunity to see the water gun of Kawagondo.
08:39Everyone looks around to find a bait ball for small fish.
08:45The target is a bird.
08:59They get closer in a hurry.
09:02Wow, there are so many birds.
09:08There is a bait ball in front of the bird's eyes.
09:15The birds attack from the air.
09:22Large fish also aim at the bait ball from the water.
09:27There is a bait ball on the bottom of the water.
09:39There are dolphins.
09:43Kawagondo also appeared.
09:46The group immediately split into groups of one.
09:50It's the same situation as when they pushed the water gun.
09:56Kawagondo was swimming by chance.
10:00Kawagondo noticed the bait ball and turned around.
10:04Kawagondo started chasing small fish.
10:07Are you ready?
10:11What?
10:13What's going on?
10:17What?
10:19What's going on?
10:23Kawagondo is also chasing the bait ball.
10:27Kawagondo is chasing something in another direction.
10:36It's a water gun.
10:39Kawagondo is chasing small fish.
10:47Kawagondo caught the bait ball.
10:56This is the purpose of the water gun.
11:00Kawagondo was hunting small fish with a water gun.
11:07The bait ball on the water is chasing a large fish from below.
11:12This is the best chance for the water gun.
11:16Kawagondo is also chasing a small fish.
11:22Kawagondo aimed at the small fish.
11:26It's a water gun.
11:29Kawagondo kicked the small fish.
11:39The small fish went in the opposite direction.
11:42Kawagondo caught the bait ball.
11:47Kawagondo caught the bait ball.
11:54The water gun can stop the movement of small fish.
11:59The water gun can stop the movement of small fish.
12:06The water gun can kick the small fish.
12:10The water gun can kick the small fish.
12:13The water gun can kick the small fish.
12:18You caught a lot of small fish.
12:21I caught a lot of small fish.
12:23Wait a minute.
12:25Why do you only aim at one small fish?
12:28Why do you only aim at one small fish?
12:32That's right.
12:34Kawagondo is slow to swim.
12:38It's hard for him to catch small fish.
12:41He can't swim fast like a dolphin.
12:49Kawagondo uses a sonar to find the location of small fish.
12:59He is worried about his friends.
13:02He is worried about his friends.
13:06He is worried about his friends.
13:09He searches for small fish in the sonar.
13:15He searches for small fish in the sonar.
13:19He uses a water gun and kicks the small fish.
13:23He can catch small fish.
13:28He can catch small fish.
13:30There is no point in using a water gun.
13:35There is no point in using a water gun.
13:38He shoots a toy water gun at small fish.
13:43He shoots a toy water gun at small fish.
13:48Small fish are not surprised.
13:54Are you okay to catch small fish?
14:00Are you okay to catch small fish?
14:03Are you okay to catch small fish?
14:05It's okay because it's a snack.
14:09It's okay because it's a snack.
14:12Do you see the back of Kawagondo's back is white?
14:17Do you see the back of Kawagondo's back is white?
14:20It's like a smoke.
14:24It's like a smoke.
14:28It's like a mud.
14:30It's like a mud.
14:35It's like a mud.
14:38He successfully carp-tripped almost no transparency.
14:44He successfully carp-tripped almost no transparency.
14:45It's lying on a mud.
14:46According to an expert,
14:47It is the floor of Lowback Bay where Kawagondo eats.
14:51According to an expert,
14:53ingeefish and crabs in the land are eaten.
14:55talking about primitive fish in the field
15:00It's a crab!
15:03NEWS
15:05Actually, it's slanted upward.
15:08If you search while turning your neck and body,
15:11you can find the prey hidden in the mud,
15:14so you'll be able to satisfy your hunger.
15:17The mud on your back may be the proof that you ate a lot of food at the bottom of the sea.
15:23Oh, that's why you hunted with a water gun right after eating.
15:30I didn't know the mud on your back was the proof that you ate a lot of food at the bottom of the sea.
15:34I'm going to dive into the bottom of the sea, too.
15:37Are you going to eat?
15:39No, no, I'm going to use the low-back one.
15:41I'm going to use the low-back one.
15:48The reason why the river gondola lives leisurely
15:51is because the terrain of the low-back one is unique.
15:56This is the sea in the early morning.
15:58The seabed is swirled widely by the low tide.
16:02At this time, the prey is abundant because the nutrition, which is the cause of the mud,
16:07spreads throughout the bay.
16:10When the tide is low, a large shark appears.
16:14A large shark, which is a natural enemy,
16:17cannot approach such a shallow coast of the sea.
16:22The low-back one is safe and has no problem with food.
16:26It's like a paradise on the river gondola.
16:31The second chapter is about the mysterious gathering of the river gondola.
16:35What happened to the fight between the two partners?
16:41In addition, we are approaching the secret of the hunt with a water gun.
16:52The river gondola hunts with a wonderful water gun.
16:56In the natural world, there are other hunters.
17:01First of all, in the water of Parao, which is close to the equator.
17:06A fish has come.
17:11It shoots water from its mouth.
17:14Moreover, it is shooting electricity.
17:17With this technique, it shoots down the insects on the tree and eats them.
17:23Its name is a water gun.
17:26It is a water gun.
17:31The gunman who lives in the forest of Kenya, Africa,
17:36is a chameleon.
17:40It walks very slowly.
17:46Hunting is a quick way to shoot electricity.
17:54It stretches its tongue to catch the prey.
18:00It is a tongue-thrower.
18:04Next is this spider living in Satoyama, Japan.
18:11It looks very normal.
18:15The first thing it takes out is a thread.
18:20It starts spinning.
18:24And then...
18:29It catches the prey by using the thread like a rope.
18:37Its name is a rope-thrower.
18:43The earth-throwers are very unique.
18:56The kawagondos live leisurely in the low-back bay.
19:02While observing them, they came across an interesting scene.
19:09The kawagondos found seaweed floating in the sea.
19:14Oh, it's wrapped around its body.
19:19It looks like a handbag on one fin.
19:25This time, it's a hat.
19:30It seems to like to play.
19:35The kawagondos are chasing something long and thin.
19:44It's a sea snake.
19:46It's a dangerous enemy with a lot of venom.
19:51But the kawagondos don't budge at all.
19:57The kawagondos are careful not to be bitten, but they caught it in the end.
20:03It is said that it is a sign of curiosity to actively challenge unusual prey.
20:15In the bay, kawagondos often encounter scenes where they are together with hand-dolphins.
20:23The low-back bay is a safe place for kawagondos to play.
20:31Hunting in the water may be one of the ways to play with kawagondos.
20:42Another secret of hunting in the water.
20:47Two kawagondos swimming close together.
20:51In the bay, you can see two shots of mother and child.
20:57Kawagondos give birth to only one child every two or three years and give birth to a father every two years.
21:05In the meantime, the mother and child spend time closely with each other.
21:12In addition, even after the baby is born, the child above may not leave the mother's side for a while.
21:20In this way, various techniques may be passed on from parent to child.
21:28For example, when you find a mother who caught a fish.
21:34A mother who swims slowly while eating prey.
21:39For some reason, she doesn't try to swallow it for a while.
21:45Oh, there was a child nearby.
21:51Currently, about 20 kawagondos are observed in the low-back bay in the water.
21:57Experts think this is the reason why hunting techniques are widespread.
22:05Many kawagondos settle down in the low-back bay and build strong bonds over the next two or three decades.
22:12By working together, they have a lot of opportunities to learn from each other, so they can learn a lot from each other in the water.
22:20This is the reason why kawagondos live in the low-back bay.
22:28At some point, I found a young kawagondo practicing water gun.
22:35Aiming...
22:39Oh, it doesn't fly at all.
22:44The young kawagondo is still learning.
22:50Aiming...
22:54Oh, it doesn't fly at all.
22:58Now, this time...
23:01It flew!
23:03But the direction is too upward.
23:07The bird that was about to hit is also surprised.
23:11It may take some time for the young kawagondo to fly as intended.
23:19On a certain day in October, I encountered a surprising scene.
23:24A number of kawagondos that I have never seen before are gathered in one place.
23:31They are clinging to each other as if they were stuffed buns.
23:36What are they doing?
23:42If you look closely, another kawagondo is swimming under the first kawagondo.
23:52In the stomach of the kawagondo on top, there is a groove where the breasts are closed.
23:58It's a female kawagondo.
24:02The males are trying to match the female kawagondo's stomach.
24:07It is said that it is an action for reproduction.
24:14The kawagondos are excited.
24:18They are usually relaxed, but their movements have become intense.
24:22Wow! Face kick!
24:25This looks painful.
24:28At this time, it was too early for the breeding season to reach its peak.
24:34Even so, I was able to shoot a precious scene capturing the relationship between males and females.
24:43It seems that the kawagondos are connecting their lives while meeting like this.
24:56At the end of the shooting, there was a happy discovery.
25:01The kawagondos are very small.
25:04They are just about to be born.
25:07This is a baby kawagondo.
25:10About a week after birth.
25:13The body is still full of wrinkles.
25:16This is because the kawagondos have been wrapped up in the mother's stomach for a long time.
25:22The mother swims sideways so that the baby can drink her father easily.
25:31In addition, she pushes the kawagondos to the water surface to help them breathe.
25:38Now it's time for the baby to do his best.
25:46This baby will learn how to live in the sea from his mother and learn various techniques.
25:55Hunting in the water is a technique that was born and learned thanks to the environment of this bay.
26:02I believe that it will be passed down from mother to child and passed down to many generations.
26:11Cute kawagondos living in the sea of Australia.
26:17The rich environment and playful nature of the kawagondos created a unique hunt in the bay.
26:26There are still many stories that we don't know about the wide sea.
26:46I'm practicing, but it's not going well.
26:49Haven't you ever hunted before?
26:51I lost my parents as soon as I was born and was protected by people.
26:55It's the first time I've seen a living fish.
26:57Okay, I'll show you how to hunt.
27:00Wow!
27:02Haru, this is what it means to live in the wild.
27:07The mother was dragged into the river!
27:10Haru!
27:11Don't cry, Haru. Look at it with your eyes.
27:13This is the harshness of nature. This is the wild.
27:15Haru!
27:17Did you catch a fish and bring it back?
27:20Did you see it, Haru? This is the wild.
27:22Are you kidding me?
27:27I'm waiting for the fifth illustration.
27:30The fifth illustration
27:32Now, everyone is here.
27:34Shimafukurou, the master of exorcism.
27:36It's been a long time since we started the wild restoration project.
27:38I can hear it.
27:40We're approaching people who are facing harsh realities and precious lives.
27:48The fifth illustration
27:50Sega!
27:51I'm not in the store with you.
27:52Your job is tea.
27:54It's an unforgivable bad job.
27:56I'm sorry!
27:57Right after this.
27:58I hope you have a good year.
28:00Yes!
