HONEY GUIDE BIRD

[samuelmanaseh]

The Honeyguide bird behavior is said to be documented even today in parts of Ethiopia and Somalia, where the birds will actively seek humans to guide them to beehives. Assuming the truth of these word-of-mouth statements, it's not impossible that the Honeyguide bird will seek out animals known to eat honey.

[VerumAdNauseam]

This old video is such a load of crap. So sterilized, scripted and edited to be cute and "family safe". It's like watching a Disney movie. I bet it IS a Disney movie.

[NoviLunar]

The 'bird" is so obviously fake, especially at 2:11

[trender543]

the honey badger doesn't give a sh*t that his parents left him!

[maybee680]

ラーテルってリアクションがいちいち面白い動物だよなぁｗ

向こう見ずにもほどがあるというか、脳筋すぎるというかｗ

[mrwellhowudoing]

this is a portion of the movie 'The Gods Must Be Crazy' so very little can be regarded as fact considering it was done on a movie set

[sasquatch268]

Honey badger dont give a shit.

[lambrioza]

Humans evolved from apes, Chuck Norris evolved from Honey Badger.

[sabinadoni1]

if you look very clows you can see that bird is fake..

[Florrezmax]

half tamd animal setup

[darthsadic]

1 guy lost his snake to a honey badger.

[BrooklynNYC777]

very very interesting relationship 

[SuperFFXfan]

WTF A GUY HIT DISLIKE???

[DFtoGLtoUNC]

only watched it because it was for school

[cornr]

蜂に刺された時の効果音（鳴き声）が笑えますｗミツアナグマは勇­気があるのかアホなのかよく判らないですねｗ

[chuimistro]

funniest part in the end.

[Dogbiteify]

What is this? I'm pretty sure this is just a fabrication.

[residentmonger]

If you watch the part at 1:48 to 1:58 you will see it trying to get underneath the Hyena. When a Ratel encounters an animal that is much larger they try and bite the underbelly and if it's a male it will bite the scrotum and the animal often bleeds to death from the wounds.

[PnTNecrosis]

@residentmonger That is so amazingly incorrect. Do a little research before you go blabbing stupid shit like that.

[TomBre27]

TLC BOOTCAMP

hahahaha

[stablematter]

Documentaries on animals back in those days were notorious for staging encounters. They probably took a zoo-reared honey badger and placed him in confrontations with other zoo-reared animals at an "african" location. The honeyguide footage may have been procured in Africa, but the interaction between the badger and the bird was surely concocted.

[7677890]

@stablematter And the bird, for most of it, is a model on a string :)

[BoredInfidel]

Why does that bird look like it's bobbing on a string tied to a pole?

[class377]

cool

[MrManBoobs123]

Vicious. Me likey

[twik1994]

lol hyena

[twik1994]

they were independent :))

[sompret]

That poor honey badger reminds me of like some carnivorous version of Bambi. Oh well, it's still blessed with natural toughness.

And that bird! It's just like Navi from Legend of Zelda... Only even less annoying.

[iamthesiver]

they are all as smart as human though they doesnt have a concrete language to speak off..

[vromeros]

nice special effects

jajajjajaja

[woofer0doofer]

Be-ong! The honey badger should evolve to cover its nose yo.

[khryzalids]

lol that wildboar coming out of that hole was so unexpected...

[Masowai]

Awesome video. I love the sound of the anvil strike for every time the badger gets stung on the nose. ha ha

[babybooboo100]

isnt that the same guy who narrated "the gods must be crazy"?

[normalityrelief]

I couldn't say for sure as I've never seen "The Gods..." (though always meant to), but "Animals Are Beautiful People," - from which this clip is taken - is directed by Jamie Uys, who also directed "The Gods..." so I'd say the chances are good!

[babybooboo100]

lol why i didnt do that myself i dont know.....but apparently we are twins separated at birth.......im a trivia search nerd too lol

[normalityrelief]

that i am! funny thing is i grew up watching "animals are..." & hadnt seen it in years. i just reconnected with it yesterday for the first time in well over a decade & came on here looking for other clips of the honey guide bird. this is all i found!

[underground00000]

i dont think that warthong would like to meet him when he grow up oO

[KenkageJack]

It's from a 1974 documentary: Animals are Beautiful People.

[NegativeNick]

lol it should have been people are beautiful animals!

[surflost101]

i kinda like oranges sometimes i like bananas

[slv754]

lol at the badger getting stung

[TigerOscar78]

Just so you all know, what you just saw is called a symbiotic relationship, It happens all the time in the wild among animals from different species. The only creatures that seem not to master this echnique are humans because greed gets on the way...

[ThanksCoszy08]

mate your wrong, we used dogs for hunting!

[eviephenomena]

Looking over the comments I don't understand what prevents these people from using the internet to RESEARCH the things they are skeptical of.

You should all know how to use google by now.

Laziness.

[cuteshadow78]

comment on the video freak dont debate here.

fuck both of yours researh what Ever....

anyway back to video its cute and nice parner ship huh

[Youcancallmeawesome]

Dude. A pig came out of a hole. Creeepy.

[astoria30001]

Tha bird seemed so fake. It's obviously a dramatization for the documentary.

[meatbabymeat]

impossible

[SirianKings]

LOL @ the nose sting & its sound effects.

[dontdoitnow]

i heard these old documentries were all staged scenes

[Shiftee88]

wouldnt surprise me, they look staged.

[MysteryStyles95]

the bird guide it to the honeys, awesome

[bullsfan102]

it is cute but also fierce..didnt backdown from the hyena

[hombremujeriego]

the honey badger is so cute and the strongest and the best

[Ideot0815]

i love this movie. it is sooo cool

[warbelly]

that bird was soooo fake.

[Silvia1826]

Lol. The music makes the badger's survival comical. ^^ Badgers are awesome. Whoa! Whoa! WHOA! Boar live underground! It makes sense to get out of the sun but dang! That poor badger got a feel of its tusks! The bird led him to a bee hive! Are they serious? Oh, the bird's using the badger to eat the honey comb. Clever. ^^

[aCaramel4U]

amazing nature´s wisdom

[h0ney08badger]

JEESE that fuking bird i would of bit its head of if i were da honey badger

i bet if the hyena dint run off the honey badger would of naked it

[jalopoli9]

I used to watch this documentary as a kid, but don't know its name or who produced it.... does anyone know the name of the full documentary this clip was taken from?

[novus310]

"ANIMAL are BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE" it is under WARNER BROTHER.

[lostn65]

Incredible stuff. This is a sign that morality evolved in animals, just like it did with us. It didn't come from God.

[UC7media]

Uhh.. what? That doesn't make sense. Neither morality or instinct "evolve" and there's not one shred of evidence or study to say otherwise.

[lostn65]

Really.. looks like you haven't done any reading then.

Just take a look at our own culture for example. Slavery used to be ok, now it isn't. Read the moral standards of the Bible and compare it to today's standards.

[UC7media]

Culture and morality are not the same thing. Case in point, the Hebrew law is a whole other deck of cards set for a different time of different purposes but parts of it were apart from morality itself such as the ceremonial law. And your argument is flawed, how is this video showing morality? They work together to survive and in the process destroy a nest. As an evolutionist you can't possibly say morality is solid in any way, thus you can't blame anyone for slavery.

[lostn65]

No of course morality is not absolute. We are all immoral if you want to think of it that way. We kill cattle, pigs, and other animal for food. Yet no one, not even christians, consider that immoral. Morality toward those of the same species evolved, because immorality would have led to the destruction of the species. Look at flesh eating big cats. They mercilessly kill their prey, but they don't kill each other. Why not? Because that would have made them extinct.

[lostn65]

Now if you want to say that morality came from God, I would very much like you to explain why this was so. Remember, it's the same god that says in the Bible to kill anyone who worships another god, burn the town to the ground, and take any virgins for yourself. This is the word of God. The same word that says it's ok to beat slaves because they are your property. The same word that says if you rape an unbetrothed woman, you have to take her as your wife and cannot divorce.

[UC7media]

Only your last sentence is somewhat (but not entirely)accurate. Do we speak of the Judeo-Christian God?

[lostn65]

Any god at all. I say we got our morality from hundreds of thousands of years of cultural evolution (the same for animals -- the cooperation with one another whether within the same species or interspecies as above, was a survival advantage compared to utter immorality). You say it came from God. I would like to hear a reasoned argument on why you believe it came from God. And you can use any god you want.

[UC7media]

Where are your sources for the development of animal morality? Define morality. The reason I say it came from God is because we only observe functions, cycles and structures but we never observe origins. We haven't seen the origin of a single thing and yet we make documentaries about evolution and the big bang and things like that.

[lostn65]

To pluck one source out of a hat: * The Moral Animal: Why We Are the Way We Are: The New Science of Evolutionary Psychology. Vintage, 1995. ISBN 0-679-76399-6

[lostn65]

So your best proof for it coming from God is because we never see the origin of things? This is utter nonsense. We see the origins of new viruses all the time. That is how we develop our medicine... by studying the evolution and speciation of bacteria and viruses. The double standards here are amusing. You say we make documentaries of things we didn't see origins of (big bang, etc), yet you subscribe to things like god and miracles and stuff like that which you didn't see either.

[UC7media]

Wrong again. We see mutations developing in viruses from previous viruses. Speciation and evolution are two different things. The amusing double-standard here is that you embrace the idea that all forms of life and all their mind-boggling abilities came about merely by who died off and who didn't die off. At least order and complexity is shown in the architecture of reality. There isn't one part of evo that doesn't rely on total daydreaming assumption.

[lostn65]

"Wrong again. We see mutations developing in viruses from previous viruses."

Correct.

"Speciation and evolution are two different things."

One leads to the other.

"The amusing double-standard here is that you embrace the idea that all forms of life and all their mind-boggling abilities came about merely by who died off and who didn't die off."

I never said that.

"There isn't one part of evo that doesn't rely on total daydreaming assumption."

Ignorance is bliss isn't it?

[lostn65]

Even if I was to accept your reasoning that "we never observe origins", that says nothing about morality. It's a bad argument either way. We see origins all the time. Just because YOU haven't seen them, doesn't mean they don't happen. Have you seen moulds forming? By simulating the early atmosphere, we can get amino acids forming naturally... the building blocks of life.

[UC7media]

Molds don't just form out of nowhere like the pre-evolutionist naturalists thought. You see, particles and spores come from parent molds and so on. Reproduction isn't an origin, it's copying. And yes, just because you don't see something doesn't mean it's not there. Like God. The fact that man knows right from wrong is evidence of God. Naturalism doesn't explain a conscience or instincts.

[lostn65]

I don't believe in objective morality (clear cut right and wrong) so to say that it was given to us is dubious, if there does not exist clear answers.

"The fact that man knows right from wrong is evidence of God."

Are you saying he taught us what is right and wrong, or he GAVE us the ability to know right from wrong instinctively? Sounds like an argument from incredulity if the latter. If the former, where did God get his morality from? On what basis does HE decide right from wrong?

[UC7media]

So the crusades and the spanish inquisition other atheists moan and gripe about doesn't sicken you?

Also, if He needed a basis, He wouldn't be God. He is the End All. Do you even know what you have a "lack of belief" in, in the first place?

[lostn65]

"So the crusades and the spanish inquisition other atheists moan and gripe about doesn't sicken you?"

Of course it sickens me. It's their religion that was responsible for this.

"Also, if He needed a basis, He wouldn't be God. He is the End All."

Prove that he doesn't have or need a basis. what a cop out.

"Do you even know what you have a "lack of belief" in, in the first place?"

God.

[lostn65]

Is something moral (even if it's killing) because God says it is? Or is God's word moral because he doesn't tell us immoral things? (The Bible would say otherwise)

"Naturalism doesn't explain a conscience or instincts."

I'm afraid it does. Research has shown that societies without morality are outcompeted by societies with morality, in any species. Natural selection. Being moral and cooperative is a survival advantage for all parties concerned. Otherwise it drives itself extinct.

[UC7media]

This all depends upon what "telling us immoral things" is. Is mentioning rape and theft bad just because the acts are such? Just because something happens to be beneficial doesn't mean it was bound to happen eventually. That's the mistake all evo's make. You have to ATTAIN it first. You can't just say "Well flight is beneficial so therefore those with wings flew." No... that's a just-so story. A really crappy excuse for science. "Well gravity is beneficial so here it is!" Same idea.

[lostn65]

"Is mentioning rape and theft bad just because the acts are such?"

No, but telling someone to do it, or that it's okay to do it, is bad. Which the Bible does.

"Just because something happens to be beneficial doesn't mean it was bound to happen eventually"

Agreed. Otherwise we'd all have the ability to time travel and create things we need out of nothing.

[lostn65]

"That's the mistake all evo's make. You have to ATTAIN it first. You can't just say "Well flight is beneficial so therefore those with wings flew." No... that's a just-so story. A really crappy excuse for science. "Well gravity is beneficial so here it is!" Same idea."

No evolutionist I know of believes this.

Your posts have been nothing but straw men after straw men.

[UC7media]

I know it's not what you believe, but there are so many sources which use those words. Think about it, though. Something has to exist before it can develop. Things like the coexistence of stomach acid and stomach lining. You have no parallel study or probable cause to ever think such facts could occur naturally. We have never observed the arising of new features, organs or instincts over any amount of time.

[lostn65]

Yes, something DID exist before new featured developed. They were based off something else. For instance the bacterial flagellum had a different function before that, it was a syringe. Feathers were modified from scales. Initially its purpose was for warmth, then drag for falling off greater heights, then gliding, then flight.

Trace it back all the way, and you get organic molecules and amino acids.

And yes we have observed arising of new features, such as camo and immunities to pesticide.

[UC7media]

Show me the study on the Flagellum. Also, you have zero research for your claims about feathers evolving from scales. Outside of imagination there is no evidence that skin patterns made highly complex and user-friendly flight enablers. Where has camo arisen from developments? And immunities are due to loss of genetic information and even develop in an organism which had none prior because of liberal application. Look at your evolutionist studies and as yourself which conclusions work.

Engines of evolution

Source: New scientist [0262-4079] Jones yr:2008 vol:197 iss:2643 pg:40 -43

This is a recent study looking into current ideas on the origins of flagella.

I also recommend doing your own search, it's always really easy to dismiss an idea by saying "show me proof" without making any effort to verify your own claims first.

Also consider than my evolution class (IB 160, University of California, Berkeley) uses this as an example to shoot down ID theory.

[UC7media]

Is that a book? Does it use actual study or hypotheticals?

[vampiregoth9]

They are both papers in peer-reviewed journals. They are studies. Consider that the point of most (if not all) studies is to present and provide support for a hypothesis, so there is no logic to separating the two. If by hypotheses you mean speculation, then no, these papers are not merely speculative.

[UC7media]

where can I find these?

[vampiregoth9]

I got them off of Web of Knowledge. Any online journal source (like jstor or google scholar) would probably have them in their database. I get them for free since I'm a student; if you don't already have access to an article database then you'll need to pay for the articles.

[UC7media]

I'll be looking, but you'll have to understand my skepticism due to what was left unsaid.

[IMFORRESTFORRESTGUMP]

Africa and western and south Asian area

[lostn65]

And wasn't the knowledge of Good and Evil only gotten by plucking a fruit from a special tree? If not for that infraction, we still wouldn't know right from wrong. So how can you say that he gave us morality? He purposefully kept knowledge of it away from us, and punished us all (every generation since) for learning it.

Please clarify on how morality proves god. Can an atheist be moral?

[ayboday]

the honeyguide actually leads people to honey as well,if they dont leave it a share it will come back to them and lead them to dangerous territory as a sort of payback.truly amazing

[mudman1881]

Incredible footage, very suprised there have'nt been more comments on this....top vid!

[bluntstar]

I know eh ! those two are amazing, Honey Badger and Honey guide bird , what a team. I saw this movie a while ago, forgot what it's called tho.

[inkrat773]

Eh. You do realise that the "bird" in shots with the badger in this video was a wind up puppet on a string?
