00:00This creature has a superpower.
00:01The red-throated diver can dive deeper than Olympic swimmers can hold their breath.
00:05Wait, animals can do that?
00:07Here's what's insane.
00:08These birds can plunge over 200 feet underwater while hunting fish,
00:12and their bodies have evolved to compress their bones and slow their heartbeat to almost nothing.
00:17But here's where it gets even crazier.
00:19They carry their babies on their backs while doing this.
00:22That's right.
00:23A parent diver will literally take its chick underwater as a survival lesson.
00:28Teaching it to hunt before it can even fly.
00:30Evolution didn't just give them a superpower.
00:33It made them the ultimate extreme sports parents.
00:35Nature is unreadable.
