【2500羽が対決する鳩レース】なぜ仙台で放ったハトが約300キロ離れた東京の我が家に戻って来れるのか？レース鳩の訓練と本番に密着！【どうぶつ奇想天外／WAKUWAKU】

In the days before telephones and the Internet, there was an animal that played an important role in communication. That animal was the pigeon! How can pigeons return to their homes from far-flung places? They say it takes advantage of the pigeons' homing instinct, but is that really the case? Currently, pigeon races are held using the pigeons' homing instinct. We followed this pigeon race closely. The starting point was Sendai, about 300km from our home in Tokyo. The pigeons were released into the sky, but what would the result be? The narration for this episode is by TBS announcer Furuya Yumi! This is a remake of the episode that aired on "Animals Are Amazing!" in December 1997. #JapanPigeonRacingAssociation #PigeonHomingInstinct #RockPigeon #Monogamy #PigeonRacing #YumiFuruya ■AnimalsAmazing/WAKUWAKU The wonders, fun, surprises, emotions, and preciousness of life of all the animals on Earth that TBS Television has pursued are brought back to life!
