Is it just me or did that duckling have some help cracking that egg around 6:10?

I live about 25 miles from the Mississippi river. I love going there to sit on the banks

The Mississippi River is absolutely breathtaking in this episode. From its calm beauty to its powerful wildlife ecosystems, it really shows how important this river is to nature and life in America.

@STJcilBasseyPEACE🌎✌🏾🐸🦅🐺🏔️🪶🦉
@worldpeacefrog❤🍎🍎🍎
@adamichael888Coyotes cover more space than red foxes. Starting off with a false fact lol
@KeepDis100The Mississippi isn’t just a river—it’s a living artery. Seeing gators, birds, and fish all tied to one ecosystem reminds me how fragile real wild America still is.
@discoveranimalfactsusEven in what looks like clear water...leeches ! (in some places )
@cierakittyBeautifully filmed. His creation never ceases to amaze me.
@johnpaulroboski6577Loved the Alligator Snapping Turtle.
@PB-or2fdi love that they captured footage of humans- a serious and impactful part of the ecosystem that nature channels often avoid mentioning.
I worked on the Mississippi River when I was 16 closer to the Mississippi's start. I worked on a boat dock which rented pontoons to all types of people- some responsible like the ones shown on the video, others not so much.
I love how beautiful the river can get, it's one of the only waterbodies around me that actually has fish in it. The river is so massive and having routinely been to it's coastline, there's hundreds and hundreds of interlocking ecosystems from crane birds walking along the rocky river bed to the algae that gets caught in boat propellers.
It's a beautiful thing.
This seasonal journey was absolutely breathtaking. The transition from the winter arrival of the snow geese to the nighttime nesting of the alligator snapping turtles shows just how much dedication went into capturing these rare moments. Incredible storytelling and cinematography as always, Nat Geo! 🦅
@wildfloridaguruBlood pressure high as a mf! Thought lil buddy and his sister was gone to the upper room
@devonasjohnson139This is the greatest episode of ThunderCats I've ever seen in my life...
@Billy.G88Nature is tough. I’m so glad I’m at the top of the food chain.
@rickintexas1584I've never understood why this country lets the water go to the ocean less than 5% should hit the ocean it should all be utilized it should all be utilized
@John-r2p6vCommercial every 2-3 minutes!!
@dbaxter47Forgot the Wisconsin River.
@kloss213The nile river it is
@Charles-jl5nuThis episode beautifully shows how the Mississippi River is more than just a river — it’s a living ecosystem that supports incredible wildlife and landscapes 🌊🌿
@wildnaturedocumentaryusAbsolutely Awesome ❤❤❤
@tracynorris5012If I lived anywhere near the Asian carp, I’d be fishing them out in 50lbs bag every week.
I’m down for removing terrible invasive species, and I get that meat would make awesome freeze dried dog treats.
A missed business opportunity living on the west coast.
I grew up where the Mississippi isn’t so wild (in Minneapolis) but it seems so powerful even there.
@willmpetI was stressing out watching the two baby ducks trying to get to the water 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Allen-a-torWhere the Missouri meets the Mississippi....should be the eighth wonder of the world
@mevrammcoyoteV8f150Woke BS
@johnanthonymazzei@12:27 why did yall edit the wood duck making a mallard hen sound? 😂 aren’t documentaries supposed to be for natural accuracy?
@gumpycognac4505Wildlife shows you the repercussions of evasive species, humans should take note but we're responsible for both
@Rngr188So much life depending on one river… absolutely incredible.
@DiscoverAnimalDocumentary💧 🐾 🐾 🐾 🐾 🎉
@DewYou-zn4nyPresent.
@FrontierWithin91What woman wrote those jokes into the script?!
@Ronin969Maybe make the duck nest little bit closer to the water to help the little ones
@jbeard8728I have sat beside the Mississippi River many times just watching it but no amount of money would entice me to stick one toe in it.
@janetswain2354When I got out of the Navy in 79 I was hired off the Lock Wall at Lock and Dam 18 on the Upper Mississippi. I continued for 10 years on all Inland waterways that you can think about. Arkansas River is one of the most beautiful rivers, Missouri River is one of the most dangerous in high water coming south. Illinois at that time was probably the dirtiest, Ohio also a beautiful river can be dangerous, and the Tennessee River some of the nicest people I've ever met. I could go on, but working on Line Boats was the best job I could ever have. I will say it's a young man's game out there, and I always hoped that the Deckhands that came after me appreciated the beauty of the Mississippi and its tributaries. Thanks Brian
