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.
12:58He is worried about his friends.
13:02He is worried about his friends.
13:06He is worried about his friends.
13:09He is focused on one small fish.
13:15He is focused on one small fish.
13:19He uses a water gun and kicks the small fish.
13:23There is no way to escape for small fish.
13:26He can catch small fish.
13:32There is no use in using a water gun against a date ball.
13:35The director tries to use a toy water gun against small fish.
13:40The director tries to use a toy water gun against small fish.
13:48It's a surprise because small fish are jumping.
13:52He's not surprised at all.
13:54Well, that's true.
13:56But is it really okay to be so confused when you're only catching one fish?
14:00Do you think you'll be able to eat enough?
14:02I think so.
14:04But, you know, it's just a snack, so it's okay.
14:08Huh? What do you mean?
14:12Do you see that the back of this kawagondo is white?
14:17When you swim, it's like smoke.
14:20Huh? Which one?
14:22Oh, that's right.
14:24Actually, this is the seabed mud.
14:28Mud?
14:29That's right.
14:30If you follow the tracks of the kawagondo,
14:34Wow, that's a lot of mud.
14:38the seabed is almost 5 meters deep.
14:44It's full of mud.
14:46According to experts, the seabed of the Lowback Bay is where the kawagondo usually eats.
14:54It is said to be eating small fish that are slow to swim, shrimp and crabs hidden in the mud.
15:00Oh, that's right. Crab. Just kidding.
15:03The ultrasonic waves of the kawagondo are actually diagonally upward.
15:08If you search while turning your neck and body,
15:11You can find prey hidden in the mud, so you can fill your stomach.
15:17The mud on your back may be proof that you ate a lot of food in the seabed.
15:23Oh, that's why I hunted with a water gun after eating.
15:31I didn't know the mud was a rich food.
15:35I'm going to dive into the seabed right away.
15:38Is it a meal?
15:39No, no, it's a drawback in the Lowback Bay.
15:48The reason why the kawagondo can live leisurely is because the Lowback Bay has a unique terrain.
15:56This is the sea in the early morning.
15:58The seabed is widely scattered by the tide of the tide.
16:03At this time, there are plenty of prey because the nutrients that cause the mud flow throughout the bay.
16:11When the tide is low, a large shark appears.
16:15You can't get close to such a shallow seabed.
16:22The Lowback Bay is safe for food.
16:26It's like a paradise on the kawagondo.
16:31In the second chapter, the kawagondo has a mysterious gathering.
16:35What happened to the king of kickboxing and kickboxing?
16:41In addition, we will talk about the secret of hunting with a water gun.
16:53The kawagondo hunts with a wonderful water gun.
16:57In the natural world, there are other hunters.
17:02First of all, in the middle of the Parao, which is close to the equator.
17:07A fish has come.
17:12Wow, it shoots water from its mouth.
17:15And it's electric.
17:18With this technique, it shoots down the insects on the tree and eats them.
17:24The name of this technique is a water gun.
17:31The water gun in Kenya is a chameleon.
17:40It walks very slowly.
17:47Hunting is a fast technique of electric shock.
17:55It stretches its tongue to fly and catches the prey.
18:01It was a tongue flyer.
18:05Next is this spider living in Satoyama, Japan.
18:12It looks very normal.
18:16The first thing it takes out is a thread.
18:21It starts spinning.
18:25And then...
18:30It uses the thread like a throwing rope to catch the prey.
18:38The name is a throwing rope spider.
18:40It is a thread flyer.
18:44The flying spiders on the earth are very unique.
18:57The kawagondos live in the low back bay.
19:03While they were observing, they came across an interesting scene.
19:12The kawagondos found a seaweed floating in the sea.
19:16Oh, it's wrapped around its body.
19:21It looks like a handbag with a fin on one side.
19:27Next is...
19:30A hat?
19:32It seems to like to play.
19:37This one is chasing something long and thin.
19:45It's a sea snake.
19:47It's a dangerous enemy with a lot of venom.
19:52But the kawagondo doesn't budge at all.
19:58It was careful not to be bitten, but it caught it in the end.
20:04It 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.
20:24The low back bay is less dangerous for natural enemies, so they seem to have room to play with each other.
20:32Hunting in the low back bay may be one of the ways to play with kawagondos.
20:47And one more thing.
20:50I found a secret about hunting in the low back bay.
20:56Two kawagondos swimming close together.
21:00In the bay, you can see two shots of mother and child everywhere.
21:06Kawagondos give birth to only one child every two or three years and raise their father for two years.
21:14In the meantime, the parents spend one-on-one time.
21:21In addition, even after the baby is born, the child above may not leave the mother's side for a while.
21:29In this way, various techniques may be passed on from parent to child.
21:38For example, when you find a mother who caught a fish.
21:44A mother who swims slowly while eating prey.
21:49For some reason, she doesn't try to swallow for a while.
21:55Oh, there was a child nearby.
21:59In this way, you may learn how to eat prey and hunt by looking closely at the actions of the parents.
22:08Currently, about 20 kawagondos are observed hunting in the low back bay.
22:15Experts think this is the reason why the technique of hunting is widespread.
22:21Many kawagondos in the low back bay settle down and build strong bonds over two or three decades.
22:29By working together well, they have many opportunities to learn from each other.
22:34So, babies learn how to hunt in the water gun from their mothers.
22:41At one time, I found a young kawagondo practicing water gun.
22:49I aimed at it.
22:53Oh, it didn't fly at all.
22:58Well, this time, I took it.
23:03But the direction was too upward.
23:07The bird that was about to hit was also surprised.
23:11It may take some time to make it fly as intended.
23:19One 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 clumping together like osikura dumplings.
23:36What are they doing?
23:42If you look closely, another kawagondo is swimming under another kawagondo.
23:52There is a groove in the belly of the kawagondo where the breast is closed.
23:58It is a female kawagondo.
24:02The male kawagondo is trying to match the female kawagondo's belly with the female kawagondo's breast.
24:07It is said that it is an action for reproduction.
24:14The kawagondos are excited.
24:18They are usually relaxed, but their movements are getting more and more intense.
24:22Wow, face kick!
24:25This is painful.
24:29At this time, it was too early to reproduce.
24:34Nevertheless, I was able to shoot a precious scene capturing the relationship between males and females.
24:44It seems that the kawagondos are connecting their lives while meeting like this.
24:52The end of the shooting.
24:55There was a happy discovery.
24:58It is small.
25:00It is very small.
25:02It will be born soon.
25:04It is a baby.
25:07About a week after birth.
25:10The body is still full of wrinkles.
25:13It is because it has been wrapped up in the mother's belly for a long time.
25:18In order to make it easier for the baby to drink milk, the mother swims sideways.
25:26In addition, it pushes the baby to the water surface and helps the baby to breathe.
25:32This time, it is the baby's turn to do his best.
25:40This baby is also a mother.
25:45This baby will learn how to live in the sea from his mother and eventually learn various techniques.
25:55I believe that hunting with a water gun is a technique that was born and learned thanks to the environment of this bay.
26:02I believe that it will probably be passed down from mother to child and will be passed down to many generations.
26:10A cute kawagondo living in the sea of Australia.
26:16The rich environment and the playfulness in front of you created a unique hunt with a water gun.
26:25There are still many stories that we do not know in the wide sea.
26:33I'm looking forward to it.
27:03I'm looking forward to the fifth illustration.
27:33I'm looking forward to it.
27:36I'm looking forward to it.
27:39I'm looking forward to it.
27:42I'm looking forward to it.
27:45I'm looking forward to it.
27:48I'm looking forward to it.
27:51I'm looking forward to it.
27:54I'm looking forward to it.
27:57I'm looking forward to it.
