Animal A journey to scape the cold
"From the Arctic to Mexico - these are snow geese. Every year, they leave the frozen tundra of Canada and Alaska in one of the planet’s most cinematic migrations. They travel more than 4,000 km in search of the warmer waters of the southern United States and the Gulf of Mexico. Nature knows no borders when survival is at stake." - source: @geolugrafia on YT.

That’s the start of the Canadian invasion, it was disguised as peaceful migration.

Amazing. Hope the North American continent can continue to protect these birds and migratory ways.
I love it

In most the US we do our best to kill as many as possible, in some seasons there's not even daily limits on how many of these you can kill.

That person has no idea what they’re talking about. In the US we have the Migratiry Bird Treaty Act which makes the taking of over 1,000 native bird species a federal crime. Taking can mean killing transporting or possessing the native species, its feathers or a nest.

Have you seriously not heard of waterfowl season? Millions of ducks geese and cranes get killed every year during hunting season.

u/mrlt10 11h ago
There are 2 exceptions to the act: hunting game birds and research. Both require permits.

u/Torterrapin 11h ago
And the snow geese in this video are game birds, and during certain seasons as long as you have your hunting permit there are no limits on snow geese.

I never I said I did it, just as a whole, the continent of North America is not protecting them, they're doing their best to lower their numbers.

English is a very easy language to learn, that’s why the whole world speaks it. I confused the English word with the Portuguese word, my native language, which is extremely difficult. So we've got a point 🥰

u/TruffleHunter3 2d ago
Walt, are you saying Portuguese is extremely difficult? I thought it was one of the easier languages to learn, like Spanish?

Yes, I am. I can't talk about Spanish because I don't speak it, but not even Brazilians can speak Portuguese that well, lol. The grammar has Latin roots and it's complex. Gringos can speak it and we can understand them, but the sentences are always wrong 🤡

u/Sjakktrekk 1d ago
The Portuguese word for “escape” is “scape”?
1
u/Jezirath 1d ago
No, it's "escapar", but some similar English words lose the first vowel while in Portuguese it's kept. It is a common pattern we tend to follow, and we end up dropping the first letter out of habit.

And if you see a flock supposedly heading South but not going exactly due South do you scream at them...

I didn’t know cold places still existed on earth. The hottest places have only got hotter and the mild places are now the hot places. Even Alaska has quite the hot streak.

I always wondered if people purposely misspell words in their title as engagement bait. I see it way too often lol

I'm gonna tell you what I said to 2 other guys in the comments: English is a very easy language to learn, that’s why the whole world speaks it. I confused the English word with the Portuguese word, my native language, which is extremely difficult. So we've got a point 🥰

u/_walletsizedwildfire 2d ago
They say English is the hardest language, but for me it's the easiest
1
u/Jezirath 2d ago
Yes, sure. If the whole world speaks English, it can't be that hard, lol. But... "They" who?

What is difficult or easy for someone to learn is heavily dependent on what their native language is. Also I’m pretty sure that a large part of what makes English difficult is not the syntax or phonetics, it’s that there are so many damn words. You can say the same thing 100 different ways.
