Will You Hold My Joey?

[andrewcarli92]

cool finding :D

[Catcutie123]

Oh boy let's go steal animals babies and give them to other 'related' animals to foster, so the mom has to have ANOTHER baby!!! No. That's fucked up.

Click on my username for an

~Interactive ZOMBIE game/vid that I made : )

its pretty fun, you're trapped in your house and you can choose what weapons to use and how you want to set up barricades.

[kathleenvh]

that is so mean!

[kathleenvh]

they stole that wallaby's baby 0.0

[almostjoeyg]

Sub me!

[charmingrenagade]

maybe they're going extinct because the scientists are lifting them by their tails and shoving them in bags...

[HustleFit]

leave nature alone

[kathleenvh]

THIS

[TheOriginalEllemar]

I'm all for saving endangered species, but this seems like a kind of fucked up process.

[PaleAlejandro]

is anyone else disturbed by this process? reminds me of alien abduction scenarios. can't say i agree with their methods...

[techtronicism]

@palealejandro

yea i agree, its great that they are trying to help and all,...but grabbing it by the tail and stuffing it in a bag, then gasing them and stealing their babys is a little wierd,

and then people freak out about alien abductions, maybe they are trying to do the same?

im not some alien nut but im just sayin...

[njrivet77]

who the hell are they to go and play god? species were meant to go extict

[faab007]

we're part of nature just as well we only play a different kind of role of natural selectors

[blurrymiir]

How are human newly "introduced predators, hunting and changed land management" naturally causing a specie to go extinct? How about, who the hell are humans "to go and play God"--changing the natural order of the ecosystem and causing a specie to become endangered?

These people are only restoring what humans took away. This organization is acting with nature, and reversing the opposing human interference and expansion, which destroyed the wallabies habitat, causing near-extinction.

[noxtradamentus]

COOL

[maheshcx]

wow that would suck to be the mother and have your baby taken away from you

[Locke1217]

arrogant humans

[maheshcx]

haha i agree

[memberbs]

@ CmdrFoxDavion

I agree. If a species is endangered.

But then... who would cull an endangered species?

I can't think of any examples that fit your description. So forgive me if my response is somewhat obtuse.

[paochoua]

stealing babies

[adamberg666]

i wanna pet one

[MisterGooglyEyes]

The part about the second embryo (for just such an occasion 3:30) was unreal, I was just thinking, like, what are the odds of that?

[DDI0N]

lol wallabies are cute.

[willluvsthe411]

WILLLUVSTHE411 HERE ON YOUTUBE!!!

[Z14LDO]

No, I WILL ABSOLUTELY NOT HOLD YOUR JOEY!

[comandermalander456]

if u really wanna help endangered animals dont keep them in captivity.. captivity kills, hermit crabs live up to 75 years in the wild but rarely live more then 4 years in captivity.. so stop fucking messing with their territory and bann hunter

[coyotefeathers]

they have a much longer life expectancy if you do your research and not just buy crap from petco. My friend has had four since she was five years old because she takes care of them properly. Some animals lives are extended because of captivity. lrn2educate

[Awebkinzlover43]

aw so cute!

[GhostDog65]

There are pests everywhere, ppl only cry or whine if they are cute. Hell we are the biggest pest on this planet. We consume and destroy and don'l get along with anything. And our ppl whine about wildlife? Go figure.

[Spazziekat]

And I thought a Dingo stole my baby!

[memberbs]

Is this before or after the annual slaughter of 7 million kangaroos?

[CmdrFoxDavion]

@memberbs

Common kangaroos are pests. If you lived where I live you'd know too well.

[gandhicakes]

Outside of their natural habitat, most people would never know that fact. I remember my trip to Australia, the entire time my driver talked about how he hated hitting the things on the highway as they mess up a car REAL good.

[memberbs]

Just so long as you respect other country's culls.

Australia has a bad habit of criticizing culls elsewhere while happily continuing to target 7 million kangaroos a year.

[CmdrFoxDavion]

@memberbs

Culling Endangered Species is a justified thing to be up in arms about.

[galanie]

Wallaby: I was captured by aliens! They did odd things to me and took my baby!

[Spazziekat]

My thoughts exactly!

[CmdrFoxDavion]

And how are these comments productive here?

[boomkablamo]

They're productive like your limp dick.

[RiouInsuiko]

Ok, you're clearly stupid then, obviously you'd understand that to save lots of species from extinction you'd need to understand the animal as well as inhibit human destruction. Not everything should go to the benefit of humans, as you may understand we are only a large PORTION of life on this earth; Why shouldn't some efforts go toward the other animals?

[kenandkids]

@GDMF4ever Don't get me wrong, people that comment on youtube videos from a position of ignorance deserve every bit that technology has to offer. I find it amusing that technology is given onto them rather than people that study, research, and care about the world...

[frederic249]

I'd say because they are part of the human environment, the earth, and we need this balance to survive as humans.

We took lots of ressources from the planet as a species, we have to give back.

[xthatoneguyx]

when he was in the plastic container i was like DANG the joey is so small! im glad they are gonna help raise the number of the wallabies

[KROkrimpsonify202]

This why geology is REALLY annoying sometime. Poor wallabys.

[xXxKarlaConverseXxXx]

blackrainviet sometimes u need to introduce predetors to a ecosystem so it can maintain balanced...

[narutofan9tf]

oh Joey, at first I thought it had to do with Friends, lol

[ChristopheBilliet]

Let them die out with natural cadence! How many times have I said this; conservationists are working against nature, these creatures were meant to die out, it happened when humans weren't around and they shouldn't mess with it now!!

I find this fucking sick.

[BlackRainViet]

They went endangered when humans introduced new animals to Australia...

[hatemaing9]

i dont think human expansion leading to destruction of habitat was nature's plan. If we dont try to put forth the effort to reduce our impact, we'll only be acting on human nature...and we'll be the only animals left on this planet

[KayoriAyane]

Ok. What's with the Harry Potter music at 1:28?

[Scali3wag]

lol

[KayoriAyane]

I'm not kidding, too. That music literally plays at the very beginning of the audiobook of Deathly Hallows by Jim Dale.

[OceanFoam]

thanks national geographic for actually letting me watch your video this time :s

[nikkijaneallison]

i know right? :)

[Swagman8]

how scary do you think it would be for that animal to get trapped, knocked out, then have its baby stolen? sounds like an alien abduction story

[Vide0mak3r]

my worries are: they take the one baby from the wahu and they put them in the less indangered wallabe...but how did the less indagered wallabe get milk? they normally do when they have an infant..so where is the infant of the less indangered wallabe??! any1 know the answer? plz tell me :D

[kenandkids]

@Vide0mak3r there are dozens of methods to stimulate milk production in any mammal. even humans. a mother that hasn't breastfed in years can still begin lactating simply by hearing babies cry repeatedly.

[TheBigHo111]

Are you sure about the crying leading to lactating?

[kenandkids]

actually yes, isn't that odd? The only caveat to a woman lactating after hearing the baby cry is a psychological component such as wishing to have another baby or "missing" their own babies infancy. There are reported cases of women spontaneously lactating from a baby's cry w/o the psych component, but none documented that I'm aware of.

[Vide0mak3r]

But what do you think that this is the case here?

[kenandkids]

@Vide0mak3r while I'm not an expert in this field, it is perfectly and biologically "ok." Remember that these have a high infant mortality, which is the reason that two viable fetus are created in case of loss or death of the first.

As for the "host" mother, yes. They either chose one that had recently had a joey and therefore still had milk flowing or one that had in the past and therefore the milk flow was easily restarted.

[STAR123WARSS]

I held ur joey last night remember....

[TudorRoseProductions]

i suppose the intentions are good, but does this not sit well with anyone else? i mean its a bit unethical, taking a baby from its mother while she's knocked out and putting it in some other chick's pouch in the hopes that the first mommy will go "oh, i lost my kid, oh well, ill just have to produce a backup!"

[HyperSonicXtreme]

Adorable

[shelbierocks]

I really wish that the species was alright enough for us to just leave them alone. Poor things... ):

[shanel1975]

She's got another baby on standby? That's pretty awesome! But why don't they just have twins?

[IceEagel]

best video after the boobies XD

[maddehmon]

AWE THEY ARE SO CUTE :D

[chardoc89]

lol 3:00

[hermit855]

they look like kangaroos and they kinda act like it

[niniowa20]

they are subspecies a smaller version of kangaroos..

[SpRiTzSpLaSh]

aww!!

[cafekawaii]

Their name isn't Joey. It's what the babies are called. Just like in the Sugar glider world, they are called Joey's as well.

[Xardueth]

3:45 LUNCH! :P

[MissignoProtacio]

Although sad about the idea of separating the baby to its original parent, this is so they can multiply.

[stupistuff]

soooo cute

[xxXSpiritwolfXxx]

They're so cute!

[omegaroyal]

looks like the stolen generation all over again

[TweadleDeda]

Brilliant title lol

they're catching on hahahha

[mramazing914]

i want one

[kklloopp]

lol funny title, kind of a perverted title

[H00PLA510]

:O mini kangaroos!!!!!!

[trainlova12]

MY NAMES JOEY! :)

[zidanecool98]

i love national geographic but the name sounds a little wrong

[lovevivien]

so cutee!

[brockway86]

This is a good thing for the species, but i think its a lil cruel. when she wakes up she will know its gone.

[Seawaffle2021]

and then forget about it in 2 hours, These animals don't have the mental capacity for long term remorse.

[TheAAmeeting]

They're so cute. :3

[crazylollylover]

i had a rabbit named joey once.. luv that fella...

[victorcelmare]

good luck to those guys

[nameofthepen]

Sounds like a fair dinkum plan, and Miss Laura is a babe! :-)

[yesenia1070]

Seriously the title NAt GEo puts or the guy that does youtube for Nat Geo needs to put better titles omg!~

[Smlie09]

Right..Put the baby in a everyday household container...I don't know why it disturbs me so. o-o

[joshua12345676]

at least they call it an incubator.

[EuphoricAura]

I know what you mean :S

[xxsanctuary]

I find it a little sad that they stuff the joey in a bag.

[melindaforyou]

would someone hold my kitty =)

[tichergeorge]

@melindaforyou no but ill eat it if you want XD

[CanadianSushiLover]

I know what the specialist are doing all this to keep this creature from becoming extinct however isn't it a bit, mean and forceful to just take a child (whether human, animal, etc..) away from it's mother. I know if I had my kid taken from me, I'd gunned down the person responsible.

[EmpressNova]

Yeah, it's pretty stressful losing their young isn't it?

[Se7entail]

@CanadianSushiLover

It is not at all mean.

If we as humans do not wish extinction upon this species, then this is the best method for it.

Reasons for taking your child would be completely different from saving a species...

Most people's maternal instinct are from knowledge bases and learning from others.

These animals have a much more "basic" form, if they lose a child, they don't cry about it for weeks, they get on with it.

[CanadianSushiLover]

Humans may be different from animals however, it's always so sad to lose something that is a part of you or something as precious as a child. Of course, you'd move on, (I'm guessing the maternal instinct of an animal makes it easier for them) but it does hurt a lot. Well, since I am not in the mind of an animal I wouldn't know what they feel but I do know that Wallies and creatures are BOTH mammals. I mean, if humans were dying off, I wouldn't want an alien to take my kid.

[AnglesOfDeaD]

up up and awaaaaay

[springlot]

wallabyare a vermin.

[bertocaster]

I'll hold yer joey real tight :D

[jimmyThePurple]

hop hop yay yay

[jimmyThePurple]

[ObsessedXP]

Oh wow, so much time and money for just more... tiny kangaroos o-o

[irwin770]

well if you think of it, kangaroos only live in australia.

[VAR1UM]

"will you hold my joey?"... im gonna have to remember that the next time im out at the market with my wife.

[Jmurph2012]

LOL

[ZeroSky]

mmm red rocks. looks good

[Mike07P]

heheh their cute.

[cdwadams]

What happens to the mother when she wakes up with the Joey gone? Not Cool.

[skymagenet]

well the mother has a back up baby ready to be born so if she find it missing the back up well start growing

[AdasNeumann]

I would be piss off if someone do this to me

[barfgreenrulz]

@AdasNeumann I'd be pissed if someone looked in my pouch!

[farius75]

Hi laura.

[ivillacortaav2009]

poor little joey, it just wants to go back into the sack

[barfgreenrulz]

@ivillacortaav2009 it just wants its real mom

[InglouriousGamer2009]

@barfgreenrulz I'll eat its mom.

[PennyDropper]

Your doing it wrong.

[koolzainski]

God bless those little Joey's

[88pie88]

that woman could hold my joey..........

[ra2yuri4]

You can hold my Joey any day...

[BliinkStatus]

Why da fuck they putting animals in fucking bags

[airomus]

SO that it doesn't start kicking and hyperventilating. In the bag it can't see, when you take away the animals sight it stays clam.

[XXRandomxRainbowXX]

HAHAHHA I AGREE OMG . tryna suffocate extinced animals ? oh yeah definat solution to the problem
