Very awful to see that this can happen in a modern zoo. There was nobody available to intervine. So this little springbok drowned after he was hunted by 2 maribus... MADRID ZOO SUCKS
@@reggie24 I know right? I despise these so called do gooders, they come on these videos and they welp "boo hoo, poor animal" hasn't anyone told them this is snuff entertainment for certain folks and it's not for the soft?
@@user-me6cf6hr8b Why did you click on the video, then? I think most people who got here did so because this was more interesting than animals chilling out in a zoo. Hell, animals shouldn't even be in a zoo anyway so I'm not sure what you consider "bad treatment".
Yeah as someone who works at a zoo, I could tell this outcome would be pretty easy to assume. Only thing I could think is either the antelope wasn’t suspected to be pregnant, or gave birth far beyond the due date. As the appropriate procedure would of been to remove the bird or remove the antelope. Untill the calf was strong enough to walk and run. Mother seems to either be a first time mother, a bad mother, or rejected the calf. As naturally the antelope would of been defensive towards the stork Otherwise this was just plain irresponsibility even without the stork, the water feature is also a risk to a newborn.
@@thebabbler8867 obviously you have no experience with newly born hoofstock. Because this is completely typical behaviour lol. I suggest you do some research or get some experience so you know what you are talking about.
Many animals possess instincts to eliminate newborns that are unlikely to survive. The baby clearly had something wrong with it and the mother looked like she was trying to drown the baby herself.
I would like to know who thought keeping marabou storks with antelope was a good idea - despite common misconceptions, marabou storks are not just scavengers.
I went with my small children to Barcelona zoo many years ago, when they had the albino gorilla. The conditions the animals were kept in were disgusting. Other children were banging on the white gorilla's very small enclosure, where it was kept behind glass in solitude, and were banging on the glass & shouting at it. The thing was clearly suffering. Several other animals were kept on a tarmac based area in 40⁰C temperatures with no way to shelter or drink. My children kept asking me questions about why the animals were kept in such small spaces (I had previously taken them to Jersey Zoo, which is a different world, I know, but it shouldn't be such an extreme difference). They were upset & I was disgusted, complained to our guide, who said 'but this zoo is the pride of Spain'. To which I replied 'exactly, and that's the problem, you're proud of this, when you should be ashamed' we left immediately. Seems Madrid is in the same class...
As some who is from Barcelona and lives there, the zoo is atrocious. It needs to disappear asap. We all think that zoo is lame and the poor animals live in the worst conditions ever but since is a very touristy city... managers just roll with it. Whoever said that is clearly not from Barcelona lol.
@@sr.marpla1862 Like the one in Madrid lol In valencia we have the oceanografic and its just starting to get better, at least in the non mammal department. I hate to see imprisoned cetaceans.
Well, marabous don't really kill animals of this size and up. They are, however, happy to steal pieces of any animal that a vulture or a predator has torn apart. So the chances of a marabou trying to kill anyone in that enclosure is minimal. Secondly, it isn't even clear from this video that the marabou tried to kill the little gazelle. Sure, he bites and pecks at it, but the little one ran into the deep end on its own. And even if it did try to kill it, a healthy offspring would've been protected by its own - not pushed into/towards the water.
The mother was already trying to push the calf into the water - She was rejecting it. I suspect it was an unplanned breeding (perhaps a mistaken sexing and one of the antelopes was unknowingly a male?) and she had nowhere to isolate from the rest of the herd, and this confused and distressed her into rejecting the calf. The maribu caught wind of the commotion and decided to take matters into its own hands. The mother is almost entirely receptive to the maribu taking over and the maribu doesn't even need to do much; once it gives the calf a few injuries and drags it into the water, it will die of exhaustion and drowning on its own. The maribu doesn't waste its energy and just waits for the inevitable. In the end, a tragic situation that almost certainly resulted from carelessness and didn't need to happen. From the comments here it seems this is an absolutely disgraceful zoo and it should be shut down.
It is not. I have been many many times at that zoo and is wonderful. Lovely memories. Now sensibilities have changed but if you look for more videos of Madrid zoo Im sure you ll get a different pov
@@Bitchslapper316 Antelopes don't randomly kill their siblings or herd members. Even if this was that, we'd see the mother trying to defend the calf. This is quite clearly the mother rejecting it.
@@cryoraptora303tm2 It's not "quite clearly it's mother" at all, It's a young male. It has curved horns plus you can see it's dong at 0:10. Also what you wrote is complete nonsense you made up. Herds are typically mothers and young in the wild with one or two alpha males. Bachelor males form their own small herds and will compete for dominance around females.
@@cryoraptora303tm2 It's not "quite clearly it's mother" at all. It has curved horns and you can see it's male anatomy at ten seconds into the video. It's a young male. In the wild the young live with female herds until they're grown.
I didn't see any adult springbok helping, on the contrary, they tried to push the baby into the water too. Seemed to be a sick baby abandoned by its own mother, because she must have been right there in that enclosure and didn't care at all.
Poor baby:'( but I think something was wrong with this little guy as the mum tried to put it in the water and let the predator attack without even trying to protect it
@@revolution94ful Well, the title confirms that the springbok was killed... I would assume that if the zookeepers did help, then the springbok wouldn't have been killed.
@@revolution94ful Thank you! There's so many morons in the comment section that I get worried about the future of humanity. Thanks for not saying "baaaaah"🐑
Antelope : Aight, son, why don't you swim, you coward ! Stork : Lemme help him *drowns him aggressively* Baby antelope : NOOO- *die* Duck : P O P C O R N
Surprised the mother didn’t try to defend it. Looks like it got abandoned. 🤔 Also surprised to zoo keepers let the animal die(if it actually did drown).
Everyone thinks the stork was simply hunting the animal but it clearly looked liked it was suffering neurological issues and wasn't healthy. Otherwise the other deer would have come to its defense against the bird.
@@wompppwompwompppAnd I thought they can disco dance right out of the womb . If they can't breakdance minutes after they are born then there must be neurological issues ...
No, calves can take hours to fully stand out & it may take 5 weeks before they can join the Herd. People think that they come fighting right out of the womb. It doesn't work that way. The mother usually hides her newborn until is strong enough to join the herd.
The stork didn't do anything, those nibbles weren't even hard; probably curious as to what this new thing was. The baby was the one that killed itself.
Ты полезешь к диким животным в клетку, а потом получишь за это огромный штраф и риск того, что тебя арестуют только из-за того, что оленёнок ( не знаю названия ) немного запаниковал?
I HATE THESE PEOPLE WHO COULD HAVE SAVED THE LIFE OF THE POOR ANIMAL, AFTER ALL, IT WAS NOT IN NATURE AND YES IN A ZOO. HUMAN EVIL IS THE BIGGEST WOUND WE CARRY.
@@janswhatsupdoc I'm sorry I didn't understand what I wrote...the animals in question WERE NOT IN NATURE AND YES IN A ZOO, in that case, people could have called the employees in order to avoid what happened. After all, the poor animal was a helpless baby. but human cruelty spoke louder... and they decided to film the tragedy.
Walt Disney, you mean the guy who also made movies featuring the horrible Vultures in Snow White, Monstro, the Hunter from Bambi, Shere Khan, Tick Tock from Peter Pan, the pike from The Sword in the Stone, the squid from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, the rat from Lady and the Tramp... If those movies with vicious predators doing their thing made you a faint of heart, I'm not sure you were watching them xD
Lol why is the crowd so chill about this?... I know its nature, but my instinct is telling me to help the poor thing. They dont seem even slightly concerned
I love how so many people draw all kinds of ridiculous conclusions while they can't even understand the camera lad in question nor have seen the outrage this incident caused locally
No, people have drawn logical conclusions from this footage - Spanish zoos are not capable of providing a safe environment for their animals and should be shut down
I know it might sound stupid but I think I would’ve done some thing. That stork wouldn’t have killed me and that springbuck wouldn’t have either. I would’ve jumped over the barrier and saved the fawn.
I feel like I would've done the same, or at the very least get one of the keepers to intervene. And then the same thing would've happened later in the day or the day after when I wasn't watching.
This video maker was definitely bludy fool no doubt.if he wants to save the life of this baby deer he do it's but he did not did his job and a poor baby deer lost his life.shame on such type of people
what is he supposed to do? jump off a 30+ foot wall and break his legs and go into a enclosure full of wild animals that can easily harm him? shut up lmao
@@mpkid5 honestly, the people writing that shit in the comments must be some of the biggest mouthbreathers about lol nobody is jumping into a fucking zoo enclosure to save any animal, period, and rightfully so
A heart-wrenching story of a doe who must kill her fawn because it ain't right. She knows she should murder it but she can't quite bring herself to do it. The stork thing is TOTALLY the grandfather on the scene: he works together with the doe, threatening to do the job for her if she fails to keep her word. He motivates her with a peck on her back. She tries her hardest but her heart can't beat another bump if she kills it. She's frozen. The stork knew this probably was going to happen but pushed doe because he knows that she knows it's the right thing. When she gives up, he steps in to finish the job. He scares the blind or whatnot fawn into the water, then guards the bank meticulously. The blind fawn has no knowledge of which direction to swim to safety from the stork and goes to the deeper waters where it makes a sad and long desperate attempt to get air until it drowns, struggle that most viewers would be upset watching, but would continue to the end. Shaken. Changed. It is a tremendously awe-inspiring display of interspecies empathetic interchange, deep interchange. Doe and Stork enjoyed years of terrific friendship. Somewhere in the shadowlands, faint echos are sometimes heard of the confused "ba-a-a" of blind fawny.
Hey ravdlinde, do you have an email address at which we could contact you regarding this video? We would be interested to discuss a license to use this video if this is generally possible? (i.e. via email) 🙂 Cheers, Felix
The bird just helped the momma deer getting rid of the malformed baby , if you watch closely at the beginning of the video the deer was trying to push the baby into the water
Yeah absolutely not😂😂 An antelope is not gonna deliberately try to drown its offspring lol. It’ll simply just abandon and reject it. Nor does the stork care about helping another animal lol.
@@firegator6853 Well, we don't know if it actually intended to kill OR eat the little gazelle (dorca?) though. Firstly, because it's a scavanger, and it's unable to consume this animal unless a vulture or a predator tears it to smaller pieces which the marabou can then steal. And I don't see any vultures, and there's certainly not any predators around, so it wouldn't make sense for it to kill it or perhaps even have evolved such behaviour in the wild. But this is a zoo, and animals have shown to do strange things in zoos, so who knows. Secondly, it only bites and pecks at it - it does not pull it into the water. The little gazelle jumps into the deep water itself (which might explain why the older gazelle seems to push the little one into the water, possibly to drown, because it's not fit for survival).
I'm curious to know if that adult springbok pushing the baby into the water is the parent? Strange also that the zoo allows a predatory marabou to stay in the same enclosure that houses infant animals.
Expecting mothers usually are put on isolated enclosures to give birth & clean newborns. That calf look too fresh to be left out yet. That's what I usually see on the TV. It takes hours or so before they can fully stand or walk.
The sad part isn’t the bird pecking at it or really even the people recording, but its own kind, what looks to be a parent, forced the thing in the water when it had no chance to begin with. Truly a sad thing in nature, which is why I don’t feel bad about eating animals.
The whole situation is very strange, stork didn't kill it it's rather was its own mother when she pushed the baby in the water.But only ones guilty for that are the keepers of the zoo no doubt.
Pay more attention. The camera man is as surprised as you are without hindsight and when it looks desperate he puts the camera down in a panic to call for help or enter himself to help.
Literally everyone outside of the enclosure was surprised. The stork used heron tactics to snatch up a duck and no one suspected that it wouldn't happen.
@@ananteshesha5788 i mean atleast one of those animals were its parent, and they just let it drown, the other springbok wasn't actively killing the baby. If anything it was the bird killing the baby, not a male in rut.
@@warbwashington5626 is rationality. it's a zoo, not a forest reserve. youre stone hearted, smooth brained, snowflake who whine about ppl who have energetic feeling which disturbs your fat western complacency. most ppl who use that term are most fragile of tiny men
I think the camera person decided to get involved, which is good to see for once cause i was getting angry. This is a zoo after all. I think the mom was afraid of the bird, it was kind of big. I dont think little springbok drowned, and thats good, it was very young and made a series of poor choices.
A frieza do ser humano se repete, tanto faz um animal morrendo ou um ser humano agonizando, é preferível filmar e postar nas redes sociais, do que prestar socorro. O ser humano é sem dúvida, a pior coisa que Deus criou. Falo isso emputecido porque eu já caí na real. Eu mesmo já pensei que Deus já se arrependeu e muito de ter feito o ser humano. O RU-vid escondeu o "deslike", mas vai aí mais um deslike. 👎
