RMK 3 #10 November 17, 2014 In the full show I believe there were 5 chicks; only two survived. Natural selection is definitely at work, however evolution is a "work in progress" - I'd say it needs a few thousand more years to work out the kinks."Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Someone should report those parents for child-endangerment.It makes leaving the kids in a hot car look pretty tame by comparison."There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.

rifleman 70 #13 November 17, 2014 As I understand it, if they nested on the ground, predators would kill all the chicks (or eggs). At least this way some of the chicks survive - good years all five might make it.Atheism is a Non-Prophet Organisation Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jono 0 #14 November 18, 2014 I am amazed that after such a traumatic first flight experience, that they just don't decide to walk everywhere and NEVER try that crazy shit again. That first hit looked brutal.Still, I wish I was as stable as this little fella on my first jump. He looked like he was good enough to be wearing a Gopro.
