What in the World is a Blue Footed Booby?

[guerrillajoey]

why does national geographic feel it necessary to provide a narrator who sounds like he'd be happier doing a funny home video show? corny. give us back the academic sounding narrator with the british accent. where's richard attenborough when you need him?

[SouleaterOnyx]

Those are some nice boobies.

[MrBluebooby]

Save our Boobies! Pls get involved with the Galapagos Conservation Trust's Blue-footed Booby Day 2011 to raise funds and awareness of these groovy birds and the other animals of the Archipelago!

[Skeith4444]

@MrBluebooby Thought Pink ribbon was doing that?

[CoryKyleB]

Is That Ryan Stiles from Whose Line is it Anyway?

Blue feet, Big Nose.... Yup, Guess so.

[leicafool]

hmm so this is where the term "booby hatch" comes from

[sohooded]

@OldsterStillLearning....You said a mouthful. The blue footed boobys are my favorite bird. Besides the word they're supposed to be laughing at is boob...not booby

[DDWEENIE]

If i was a pirate, i'd want one of these instead of a parrot !

[macintub]

Come on don't be silly. There are no blue footed boobies because boobies have no feet.

[pavelthe2]

On YouTube, we've got music videos, news, funny cats... And yep, we've got boobies, too.

[08penguin2]

They are awesome!!

[BoobiesontheBeach]

If you like this you’ll love to watch the dancing blue-footed boobies by searching for 'boobiesonthebeach' (no spaces) within youtube

[warriorden]

it's all bout that blue foot. get that blue foot!

[KingLashiec]

So many boobies... -nosebleed-

[Noarcs]

Gotta be jealous of the iguana. I wish I was in booby land.

[mahesus1]

the way the narrator says boobies makes me laugh

[shairaptor]

Fucking hot feet these boobies have !!!

[SinnFein4ever]

That's a lovely pair of Boobies. :)

[Dratinires]

i luv these guys and the name it goes with them, people may think it's weird and funny until u get used to it

[RIPTINY2293]

lolz "boobie land"

[TheCocotoo]

if a blue footed booby and a red footed booby mate does it make a purple footed booby?

[Phoenixora3]

No, first of all: the red footed booby does not exist.

Secondly, if they were different species they would not be able to reproduce.

And thirdly, if they were the same species but different varieties or breeds, the dominant gene (either red or blue) would for the most part determine the color of the offspring's feet.

[livin2love96]

@Phoenixora3 the red footed booby does exist. it is related to the booby, one of three kinds, the red footed booby, blue footed booby and masked booby (Nazca booby). before you say something, at least look it up.

[Phoenixora3]

@livin2love96

My apologies, Mr. Sperglord-Who-Responds-to-8-Mo­nth-Old-Second-Page-Comments.

While I admit I was wrong, that there is in fact a red footed booby, I stand behind my second two statements, that the two different species could not produce fertile, viable, offspring, and that the genetic factor is not incompletely dominant.

[rokaMovie40666]

very nice shots. I love the blue foot boobies. Interesting video clip

[Noarcs]

Those boobies sure wobble a lot.

[xChocoRainDrop]

so cute.

[MasterGwonam]

*Squeezes Booby*

Hey, the pesky bugger just pecked me! Not as friendly as the pair my girlfriend has. Man, boobyland is all that it is said to be XD

Seriously though, those birds are pretty awesome. I like their sky blue feet.

One question though.

How did they get the name "Booby"?

[KINGDOMoftheORION]

The name "Booby" was taken from the Spanish word "bobo" which meant "clumsy," as the Blue-Footed Booby is reportedly very clumsy on land. That's what Wikipedia said anyway. xD

[munchmunch12]

boobies are awesome check my videos

[Squallleonheartfan]

i wish they can be my pet

[taragolden]

great footage

[MSBlueJasmine]

[Camoen19]

I see that my previous comment got 4 thumbs down... Wikipedia says: "The name "booby" comes from the Spanish term bobo, which means "stupid fellow"."

[buddist4life]

[Qdude10]

[Blackliam]

[RandyLoveless]

Poor Iguana!

[dowling1981]

Are you 5 years old or something?

[GuyF5]

BOOBS

[LovelyYTRocks]

I want to go to Boobyland.

[XIPM3]

what the fuckm, that iguana is completely random and irrelavant to the article.

[Dracorex13]

No it isn't. Boobies and iguanas often compete for nesting territory on the Galapagos.

[Mystery71]

Too cute!

[Davefld321]

Rofl! I like the way u call it jessicasue, its funnier

[JessicaSue]

For some reason I thought these were extinct...and I used to think they were called Blue Footed Dildos...I was young with older brothers.

The National Geographic channel could have done me some good : P

[snakelady21]

I love these big blue feet! I always wanted one of these birds!

[shairaptor]

me too me too! these feet are awesome! :)

[Doodsjager]

Booby land!

I still remember doing a first grade project on these little fellars. What cool creatures!

[SAflashtubfanpage]

I want a blue footed booby

[rc23651417]

neolistic is a spamer. i went the the site and it gave me a virus and my comptuer crashed. it crashed into the wall and brok into peices. that son of a bitch

[KuraiMorgan]

Lol I must have missed that one

[WhyDidYouDeleteME]

Blue Footed Boobies are foot fetishists.

[dkrikori]

"let me outta here - this is worse than a fraternity hazing"

seriously?? that is such bad writing. what happened to nature videos!?

[Rahall01]

haha i did a project on these birds when i was younger!!! they are amazing

[SpotzBoy]

LMAO OMFG BOOBIES!!! I LOVE IT

[JoshuaBlackwell]

BOOBIES!

[MrBlingMonkey]

rofl nice name for a bird.. frickin people running out of ideas these days.

[Caretaker891]

or drunk. and horny.

[Caretaker891]

So. I don't understand, what would happen if a blue-footed boobie mated with a red-footed boobie? They're all blue.

[maraca007]

haha it must be red or blue or mixed colors of those two

[mikethejanitor555]

i like booby's!!!

[lacirca]

boring

[mankyman6]

Please people don't be perverts about the name...

I think the bird itself is cool! Also has a funny mating ritual! Everyone should love these animals!

[Truthiness231]

ROFL, booby land (now go about berating my comment and adding negative points because you don't have a sense of humor/you're "better" than it)!

[Nooblet606]

cant people post better comments??

anyways..what a weird name

@_@

[Truthiness231]

It's a funny name. Not weird, necessarily (Honestly all names can seem weird if you think about them (or not...)), but certainly funny. And why? Because it's a silly word we use for a part of the human anatomy that for some reason some people find it offensive to talk about (probably because it has an entertainment function, not the feeding function... just a guess...).

[Truthiness231]

Grow up. It's funny, hell the narrator hinted at it being a little when he first started, and if you don't laugh, and you'll have to trust me on this, then you have worse problems than a silly pun. Stop being a whiny immature fascists about a slightly funny immature joke. Jesus.

[Nooblet606]

why are you telling ME to grow up when it was other people being immature

...those comments werent even funny they were retarded...if i wanted something stupid i'd go watch the gay guy babbling about "leave britney alone"

if i was looking for something funny i'd be watching jimmy kimmel

[Truthiness231]

"why are you telling ME to grow up when it was other people being immature

...those comments werent even funny they were retarded...if i wanted something stupid i'd go watch the gay guy babbling about "leave britney alone"

That's exactly what I meant by you not getting it. Lose the ego, get your head out of your ass, and then grow up (btw: who said anything about Britney or homosexuals?).

[Nooblet606]

1st part: :D

@_@ what the hell are you talking about

..if you like reading idiotic comments so much

then go ahead...keep reading them

I DONT..which is why i posted my first comment

[Nooblet606]

(lol..its obviously BOTH)

..you're just focusing on booby WOW

look at the WHOLE name "Blue Footed Booby"

funny/weird right?

[Truthiness231]

The "Blue footed" part makes perfect sense (unless you're you).

[Nooblet606]

2nd part : O_o

AGAIN

look at the WHOLE damn name!!

dont just focus on one part

"Blue Footed Booby" --> come on, its not that hard

[Camoen19]

Technically, it has the other part of its name because they are stupid. Seriously. That's why it has that name.

[stupidweirdo]

lol their name is so cool!!! =DD man i love animals!

[colgatesmiley]

I LOVE BOOBY'S

[Narutoguy89]

LOL BOOBYssssssss

[azh01e]

They sound like those whistle straws that annoy everyone. Damn birds.

[cowbell2000]

wow thats really umm wow...

[blackkidh]

lol fraternity hazin

[TrueScience]

chicks with a foot fetish...

i can dig it

[AnimaDraconis]

The narrator has the most annoying way to speak I have ever heard!

[mrcomedymrblogger]

Very Cool
