I found cupboard spiders in my garage and they actually looked like black widows but there ball end was slightly brown which was odd to me and there web pattern was all over the place thus there other name cobweb spider. They didn't look that different like the picture here shows they actually looked almost the same as a black widow but no hourglass and slightly brown. I could see someone thinking they are where as the pics here don't look that convincing to a black widow. Idk, I just thought that was interesting
We do need to protect them, i live in Brisbane Aus and we get large huntsmen coming into the house, they usually do a lap or two around the top of the walls and realise theres no prey so they leave again, i will never harm one because they catch a lot of pest insects.
Busy feeding on a cockroach? You might be the next victim if you you don’t pay attention to yourself. Cockroaches won’t be enough for that size of a spider. 🕷️
good effort. I am doing a rewilding project on a smaller scale (112 acres) on a hillside in New Zealand. I note in your footage there are lots of deer. From my experience on my project, the deer are the biggest threat to forest diversity. Every young seedling they will eat the tips and constantly mow them OR the stags will come and rub between their antlers and thus stripping the side branches and ring barking the tree for a quick death. At first I was very disappointed to realize that I needed to kill the deer because it seemed at odds with my conservation views but there is no way around it if I want to reforest this hillside and try return something back to a native New Zealand forest state. I'd be alarmed if the deer were not a problem for your forest goals.
umm, why does the pic of the spider nest show the boards all the way to the floor in 2 directions, yet the pic of the bed shows nothing touching the floor but the legs?
It could be the other way around, judging on African elephants keeping the savanna open: there were no mammoths left to purge the trees and so the mammoth steppe was overgrown with trees.
The Animalogic channel recently released a video on hermaphroditism. It’s a very interesting topic and just goes to show how “weird” and wonderful gender and sexuality are in nature. It also is a way to show who the bigots are.
Natural History Museum, Thank you very much, thhat was very interesting and learned a lot! 1. I always believed that laying eggs would somehow leave grooves in the nearby bones of birds and dinosaurs. Especially if the animal is small and the egg is large. And that way you could tell the female apart from the male if you just had bones and no plumage and scales or skin left. 2. I would like a life as this fish that starts completely asexual and lives monogamously and changes sex during their life several times. I would just like the experience of living from all perspectives. I also really like the idea of turning asexual if life is too hard and exhausting for a while. (Which the fish doesn't. But I would.) Thank you very much!🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️⚧️
Injecting? If someone was gay, they were gay. No one complains when a historical figure is described by where they were born, or their religion, or the profession of their parents. You want it to be secret history if someone was gay? Like it should be hidden or silenced?
