The frigate bird story is one of the many reasons why I support zoos. They have very passionate veterinary staff and the good ones like San Diego Zoo and Bronx Zoo are great at giving animals really good homes and care if they can’t survive in the wild because of health issues.

There was a female walrus called 'Stena' that had swam south along the Norwegian coast and crossed the Danish Straits. It then swam along the south coast of the Baltic Sea and by July of last year, had made it all the way to Hamina, Finland. As far as I know, it's the first time a walrus has been seen in Finland in recorded history.

I wonder if, in history, walruses ranged completely around the Arctic Ocean coasts. Considering they're in Norway, Greenland, Alaska, Canada and Kamchatka. Maybe at one time. Prehistoric walruses lacked the long tusks, but were larger, and more common in many more locations, like California and Mexico. And warmer places too.

I live in Sweden and some 15 years ago a friend of mine went to New Zealand. And there, on the other side of the world he went to a zoo to see some interesting and exotic animals that we never get the chance to see here. He took a guided tour and the guide there was really excited to show him THE most exotic animal in their collection, there had never been one of these animals even close to New Zealand and it was very special to have it available at the zoo. It was a very average European magpie 😂 Turns out it had flown alongside a freight ship and somehow ended up there in New Zealand where the zoo decided to give it a proper home.

My favorite runaway is Flamingo 492, a Flamingo that went from East Africa, to the Kansas City Zoo. Form there he and his gf plotted their escape. GF didn't make it but 492 was spotted in Louisiana with a new GF from the South American flamingos that visit there. He was then not spotted for a few years but showed up in Port Lavaca, TX a couple of years ago and is thrifing among the local spoonbill flock. Flamingos and spoonbills eat the same food, so 492 has learned how to thrive in his new home. BTW, Port Lavaca is just north of the cursed doll beaches of Texas. Look it up. There are beaches where plastic dolls covered in barnacles wash up on otherwise unpolluted beaches.

Escaped from a Soviet military facility, Aydın (Turkish for 'he who is bright') found his was to a fishing town in the Black Sea region of Turkey. People loved him so much. Soviets captured him but he escaped again and returned to town! Story is long and interesting. Eventually he disappeared, never to be seen again.

In Yakutia, coldest place in the world, where people live full year, sometimes found flamingos. It is really far away from their normal habitat, so interesting, that it is not one, or two times, when flamingo got spotted in Yakutia. Reason of this, is that Yakutia have hot summers and very cold winters, young flamingo break away from the group, accidentally fly to Yakutia, live here for summer, and then, usually die at first colds. There's a bit of news about saved ones, even in english, so, you can read more about that Sorry for bad English.

I live in Philadelphia, and about 10 years ago or maybe a little more. There was a beluga whale lost in one of our rivers that runs through the city. The river is called the Delaware River, and the whale was here for a week, I think. Before, they kinda taxied it back toward the ocean if I'm not mistaken. Might be a good candidate for part 2 of this video.

Here off the coast of San Diego we have many amazing cetacean species, more than I even realized; from the small harbor porpoises to blue whales breeding right here, plus everything in between. Orcas, humpbacks, grey whales, pilot whales, false killer whales, Cuvier's beaked whales, plus common, bottlenose, Risso's, white-sided and rough-toothed dolphins - and more - But we don't have BELUGA whales normally. Yet during lockdown in 2020, a lone beluga was filmed swimming right here, only a few miles from shore, but hundreds of miles from Alaska. Not sure where it ended up, but many scientists speculated it was a young explorer who got carried away. And this was in summer too! Must've been warm with all that blubber.

I remember back when I was in high school a mother humpback and her calf swam up the Sacramento River and they were right in the waterfront in Downtown which is 90 miles from the ocean. Somehow she had managed to go from the open ocean, into the San Francisco Bay and then found the river and went upstream 90 miles. They ended getting scared back to the bay and back out to sea by using a bunch of boats to make a lot of noise in the water so they could follow the rest of the migration south
