North Atlantic Right Whale Narrowly Misses Eating Plastic

[MsLilMike98]

10 people wanted the whale to eat the plastic

[loopofpoop]

INCOMING GIANT FLAME WAR!!!

[Kingcobrasaurus]

Wouldn't his baleen filter it out?

[TheFizzGirls]

@Kingcobrasaurus whats a baleen? I'm just wondering...:$

[DRcaprice]

@Kingcobrasaurus no, it will stay in because water is the only thing getting filtered out.

[robloxbananaking]

0:27 WHOA Did that NOT look like ALOT of photos of the "Lochness Monster"????

[budgetguy]

Does anyone think that the children's thoughts/energy waves,emotions..  were picked up by the whale? "not to eat the bag" ...?

[GUTTENSEITEN]

what's with people having to state the superiority of humans to abuse animal, neglect them, or justify destroying ecosystems?! that logic is faulty, If something we show superiority by learning our impact in the ecosystem that allowed us to evolve, being compassionate to creatures, and simply not destroying thing just because we can. To think the latest is just BARBARIC.

[Planetary0]

Say what you will about our effect on the earth, we're still the only species that can save the planet from asteroids and comets.

[loveq2]

nothing

[slowplaythis]

Yo, check out the "pacific garbage patch" if you thought a bucket in the ocean is a big deal.

[GerbilEssences]

I can has bukkit?

[NiGhTmArEs09]

wow this thing looks like the locknus monster

[Deke101]

The locknuts monster???

Scary...

[KunaiShark]

thing?

[Deke101]

If common sense makes me a dick, color me Penis. Just make sure you get all the flesh tones right.

[Deke101]

It's like I've been trying to tell you whiny crybabies all along. I like whales just fine. People who abuse animal for kicks deserve an ass-whoopin. Should we make a federal CASE out of some whale ALMOST swallowing a bucket? NO. Do whales regurgitate? YES. Do they sometime die from ingesting plastic? YES. Is it going to make me late for work, miss a TV show, lose sleep, stub my toe, get a papercut, cry a river? NO. There ARE more important things to worry about in the world.

[926531]

its fake, obviously its a submarine

[dracojosh]

Somehow I think he's either amusing himself with it, or trying to get past it. These whales aren't stupid enough to eat that kind of thing. They filter tiny things through thier baleen and wouldn't mess with something that big. Let's not blow it out of proportion. Sad though, that human trash continues to find it's way into oceans, rivers, and streams. Not to mention dumps, roadways, and even yards. Man we suck as a species. It's embarrassing.

[Hy13r1D]

wut am i looking at? i dont see the whale or the plastic...

[TriniDaddi]

That big ass thing in the video for 42 seconds is a whale.

[Hy13r1D]

i see something big but i dont see the structure of a whale nor do i see it missing a plastic...wheres his mouth?

[kawah88]

And barges on the east coast still dump trash in the ocean. Fucked up shit.

[lhmran]

AAAAH DAMN!

it missed it : (

KILL THE WHALES

(you guys are all so IDIOT omgomg)

[Moh4wkZombi3]

keep the oceans clean

[xuhhhx]

i wanna smack whoever let that plastic get there

[lavid2006]

I wish one of those Japanese whaling boats would come up and spike that motha right in front of all those fags.

[MMusashi7]

Fuck You! Whales are an endangered species and you want them hunted down and wiped out don't you! Jive Ass Turkey!

[lavid2006]

I spiked your motha last night

[dbzer]

HAHAHA that would be hella funny!

[aznf0rl1fe]

lololl thats funny but your mean ROFLLFF

[zumiez101]

was that the one in new jersey at seaside? on like mdw cause i saw one of these mother fuckers down there everybody was huddlin around to c that shit

[paintballgundown8]

gutta love that,,,allthough he missed it not, that water bottle or whatever will probably float in the ocean forever, long after anything

[chimpjoubsmoo]

Nessie! =o

[Deke101]

OK...First of all, the whale SAW the bucket and failed to swallow it on PURPOSE. Second, Do you really think a whale can't spit shit out that it might get in its mouth??? Otherwise, how many whales would die from choking on crap they accidentally swallowed??? Last, does anyone with a lick of SENSE really even give a shit, anyway???

[CWOLF28]

lol Deke sounds like dick, which he is

[Deke101]

Better going through life as a dick than a pussy....

[Tori3133]

Hey Dick, I mean Deke. Did you take a course on marine biology or something? How do you know how that whale thinks. You some kind of whaleologist?

[Deke101]

Yeah...a whaleologist... lol.

Marine biology has nothing to do with making mountains out of molehills.

[JRV95]

I have a lick of sense, and I give a shit about whales... :P

[Deke101]

Not give a shit about WHALES, but whether one swallows a piece of trash. I like whales just fine, I just don't call it a catastrophe when one ends up eating something.

[CWOLF28]

you obviously have no clue the kind of fucked up shit trash can do to a whale's digestive track, if it doesnt choke on it, so dont act like a bitch if u dont know what the fuck your talking about dick101

[Deke101]

I think you mean digestive TRACT. Since YOU are the one getting bent out of shape, i sense it is YOU who are acting the bitch.

[CWOLF28]

WOW I give a SHIT about GRAMMAR on the INTERNET, and I have every RIGHT to be upset with your IGNORANT ass because it's bitches like YOU that make it HARDER to keep the WHALES from dying out

(lol caps)

[Comicsman1]

I don't give a shit. I licked some sense!

[Khainian]

I has bukkit!

[yourm0mlikesme]

this thing would look good on my trophy wall...I mean the bucket

[xparta300]

lol pokemon got 2 catch them all

!!! go pikachu

[wytkracka]

uhmmm, yeah, not really alarming, unless maybe you're Al Gore and looking to fake up another crisis.

[yourm0mlikesme]

lol

[Deke101]

Bwaa HA HA HA HA!

[benzlover55]

I hate the assholes who think they are being smart shits by saying "oooh fuck whales" I bet you can find a car in one of those fuckers", they should go to hell.

fuck em.

[Desmo5150]

I hate whales and plastic...piss off!!!!

[eeeerkaaan]

I hate wales^^

[wytkracka]

silly welsh

[FuckYouVeryNice]

i hate your mom , who loves to smoke crack :$

[uhhhhsam]

if you hate whales, stop watching whale videos. regardless if it was in featured vids, it says ''whale'' in the title, and you look pathetic.

[pretyrainbow]

you like whales?

[latinforever1]

i love it, i would give my own life for any innocent creature in danger? gotta problem with that?

[Comicsman1]

yes. it is extremely illogical and a total lack of respect for everything sacrificed for your life

[latinforever1]

@comicsman1

how is that illogical? and how is that lack of respect? can you elaborate? i truly can not follow your logic

[Comicsman1]

Ha, you used the word "logic" too. Wonder where you got that. No disrespect. Follow with me here because it can get complicated:

You, as a human being, are more important than even the cutest widdle bunny. From any perspective you look at it even. Christian: we were made in God's image and we, not the bunny, were made to (in a sense) rule over the rest of his creation. Atheist: you are at the very tip of evolutionary conquest. Billions of years have passed, and throughout all of them...

[HarlequinnJester]

If we are the worlds only intelligent being (which we aren't dolphins/apes are intelligent) then we have the knowledge that yes we can dominate the land but we also have the knowledge to understand that it can have repercussions on us. Im mostly atheist so i wont go into god matters, as i respect others beliefs as long as they respect mine. I wouldnt say we are the most important thing on the planet, the planet itself and the ecosystem is the most important as it is neccesary for our survival.

[Comicsman1]

Im gonna pick this apart one bit at a time. First of all, "intelligence" as it is defined is "the ability to acquire and apply knowledge". Realistically, a dolphin or ape cannot do this. These creatures can only copy what they have been taught. They cannot unlearn things and they cannot change behavior (why a dog that's been taught to fight must be put down). What appeared to be an example of an intelligent ape was Coco, the gorilla that learned sign language, but once again, like a parrot...

[danthewhaleman]

After 20 years of studying whale behavior, I must disagree. Humpback whales in the Gulf of Maine continually change their behaviors. Many do things unique to just themselves. I will be posting some examples in the near future so stay tuned to this area. One example is that kick-feeding by humpbacks started in the 1980's. This was not observed by the first one that did it, it was simply tried and the whale learned that it worked.

[FreonRose]

key words there "copy what they've been taught" if I'm not mistaken that's the same as acquiring and applying knowledge. dogs are predators by nature so fighting is instinctive and technically and aggressive dog can be put down and can also be incredibly aggressive without ever being raised to fight.

[Comicsman1]

...she was simply copying what she was taught to do. Like a dog barks when it is hungry, she learned to wave her fingers for food. This is not intelligence. It is man's ability to problem solve and adapt in order to change behaviors. No animal can do that. I am amazed at how numb of a society we are to human importance. It does piss me off when I see a lady with a t-shirt protesting dissection of fetal pigs walk out of an abortion clinic. As a Christian, I believe that we are more important

[HarlequinnJester]

Im afraid i'll have to disagree here..one of the apes either Coco or another one (can't remember her name at the moment) actually could use sign language beyond its original context and correctly, that is some form of intelligence, they may not be AS intelligent as us but they are intelligent. Dolphins also have the ability to apply things to different situations, dolphins can infact problem solve. There was a study done where dolphins had to identify objects of the same type, ...

[HarlequinnJester]

..which most animals cannot infact do, also dolphins have the ability to realise that for example "basket to ball" and "ball to basket" are completely different which again most animals cannot understand. so there is some intelligence there. To say they are not intelligent is abit silly, if you said less intelligent then i would agree. I'd put the world first before people due to the fact we need it to survive. everything is a web that is connected, so yes humans may be important but so are they

[HarlequinnJester]

Also i think that because as you say we are supposedly the most intelligent species on earth then we have the ability/knowledge to understand that if we destroy the ecosystem/an ecosystem then that can have a knock on affect, and as we are the only race with technologywe can do something about it and live sustainably alongside many great species instead of overfishing and overexploiting resources etc. So in that sense we are important as we are the only ones who can do something about it.

[HarlequinnJester]

** I forget to add something to the coco comment, one of the gorillas taught another to use sign language in its appropriate contexts

[FreonRose]

actually we do more harm to the environment than any other creature on the planet and we haven't changed that behavior nor adapted to it for thousands upon thousands of years. we do whats beneficial to us. just like every other animal on the planet.

[Comicsman1]

(read bottom one first)

... we are the only intelligent beings to emerge.

Any way you look at it, you are more important, in the grand scheme of things, than even a defenseless bunny. Granted you were probably stating your comment to say you love animals, and there is nothing wrong with that. I am simply correcting you and making sure you don't dive in front of Elmer Fudd's bullet to save Bugs, because sooner or later, Elmer will win and have the rabbit stew of his dreams.

[mhuttley]

well put

[avschase]

whales aka your mom...no

[latinforever1]

@avschase

the fact that i would give my own life for my mom does not mean taht i can not care for an animal in danger, let alone giving up my life for them. Yes, an innocent creatures. Other specie so what? still feels pain and can defend himself unlike us. You are just too selfish and only look for your own specie for no reason but i bet you like when a dolphin saves you from a shark right? i bet you do....

[avschase]

actually its been know that dolphins are just another food for a shark. Its a myth that they save anything from a shark let alone a human. The only animals that I know can save a human are domestic animals like dogs. And if you are welling to give your life for an animal why dont you give you life to all those cows, pigs, fish, chickens you eat during your lifetime. Your just to selfish to eat anything but meat to make your hunger go away. Your selfish just like the rest of us who eat meat bitch

[Comicsman1]

English is a little iffy there. apparently you did not read what i wrote. try again. It is a little thought provoking and it makes you think. Oh no. and where did you get the mom thing? nothing to do with what I said. yes I am selfish. Isn't it great? that's what makes me human and not an animal. I can feels emotions other than hungery, lonely, bored, and horny. A dolphin you not fight a shark for you. when has that happened other than movies? not real. please continue. I love to argue

[splendid1000]

um no. animals are both selfish and un selfish justl like people.

[yourm0mlikesme]

I like how the idiotic tourists were like oooh noo oooh god like the thing was about to explode from eating a bucket. Those fucking things eat far worse things in the ocean, but because of its strong digestive acids it doesn't really affect the whale anyhow. I bet you can find a car in one of those bastards...

[studlystudman]

you're wrong

[bonedaddyo]

mmmmmmmmmmm...........plastic.­

[sjmovies]

i eat plastic for breakfast!

[Summatethisplz]

Narrowly misses = he ate it?O_O?

[eddfir]

omg that was scary, i dont like horror films :(

[Zabuza123456789]

Holy shit! What would have happend if it had eaten that plastic? That's not good! Was that plastic ever removed?

[creativenamegirl]

we can't change the world but if we don't start trying to change our actions then we could really mess up life for the next generation that would be awful the world die because of stupid mistakes that we have made

[nicosdyrdecks]

u fagots were laughin

[PJtheFighterPilot]

OK NORMAL HUMAN BEING HERE . WTF WAS THAT ! ! that aint no right whale or anything in normal life

[yomatadragon]

its the thing from cloverfield man ZOMG get your plane and start bombing it you are a fighter pilot right

[PJtheFighterPilot]

hahahaha ! im going in fast !

[CodyZ14]

Who puts a bucket out in the water?

I guess some people were to lazy to go get it (before the whale came)

[getalife04]

You know even putting things in the trash it still ends up getting into nature. I swear the human race is going to just completely destroy the earth eventually.

[aliceakanewg]

ttly agree with u :PP

[Raykak]

we're too insignificant to change a planet entirely.

[dangmine]

what's that ?!?!?!?!?!

[jc2007rose]

people litter so much and don't ever think of the consequences. man is responsible for killing our wildlife

[CALICOTV301]

Agreed! Man is responsible for nearly everything that brings the earth down.

[Ascensiam]

Here's all the food whalies!

Uh, Jim, you're not supposed to throw the food AND the food bucket into the water.

Whoops.

[anetoiu]

way to amazing, first time seeing this

[SadScarecrow]

He really was right not to eat that. That's why he's the Right Whale.

[goldragon988]

nice one :)

[jessika01]

Damn Right!lol

[Jas0nBourne15]
