Turtles are weird reptiles, but did you know that there are 14 families of turtles? Which ones did you know, and which ones were new to you?

@nerodia 2 года назад

How about a video on the colubrid snakes? Though I gather the cladistics aren't really settled on them, which makes it even more interesting to me. I'd like to see the modern cladistic rundown on the group of snakes that were initially defined by not being vipers, boas, pythons or elapids.

@sampagano205 2 года назад

All the different families of iguanomorpha would be fun.

@Androctonus84 2 года назад

Everyone struggles a bit with polysyllabic words they don't pronounce often. The only problem I have with your Greek and Latin pronunciations is using the English 'ch' sound instead of 'k' for ch, like normally in Greek and Latin based words, like chordate, archeology, chronometer, chrysalis, etc. A bit like nails on a blackboard for me. Otherwise I have to say that as a biologist and huge reptile fan since I could crawl, I absolutely love your videos! Keep up the amazing work!

@ClintsReptiles 2 года назад

Thank you for the help!

@stefanostokatlidis4861 2 года назад

Actually in my language those big words do mean something and most of the family names can be easily explained.

@rasmusn.e.m1064 2 года назад

Damn, this is how to criticize pronunciation. Well done!

@Androctonus84 2 года назад

@@stefanostokatlidis4861 Yes, that's why I always insisted that my students learn Greek and Latin roots. Something like Pycnopodia helianthoides isn't as daunting to remember if you understand what it means, especially since it pretty well describes the animal.

"Leatherback Sea Turtle, the BEST pet turtle?" I can see it now... "For upfront costs, we are giving the Leatherback Sea Turtle a -17 out of 5. The first thing you will need is your own private ocean, complete with its own beach, as well as a crane, truck, and trailer large enough to traslnsfer a 1 ton reptile there. Then there's the actual Turtle itself."

@stefanostokatlidis4861 2 года назад

Actually they are impossible to keep in glass enclosures. The only way scientists have found to keep hatchlings either for study or for rehabilitation, is to tie them and suspend them in the middle of a tank without giving them the ability to hit the glass.

@huntercollum869 2 года назад

@@stefanostokatlidis4861 Man that's kind of messed up but it is so much funnier to imagine than it is messed up. I'm just picturing an eight foot long one ton turtle tethered to like a rock in the middle of an aquarium and good lord is it a funny image

@VeryLastIfried 2 года назад

I love this video. I've learned this in University but never so in depth for turtles down to family level. And the examples you provide make it so much easier to just learning names. I look forward to the next one. Ideally, we go through all the reptiles (including birds ofc) and then move to amphibians and if the series does really well the other vertebrates. I wouldn't really expect you to take the pain of going through arthropods... you could fill a channel with that.

@samuelstrausbaugh4476 2 года назад

That was soo informative! I really liked the indepth break down it helps you understand the differences without being overwhelmed with little details that normal individuals wouldn't understand or even recognize

@stickmanblubbles4489 2 года назад

Small tip: "chelys" comes from the Greek word "khélūs", and as such should be pronounced with a hard 'k' sound as in "character" (which comes from the Greek word "kharaktēr") as opposed to a 'ch' sound as in "change".

@huntercollum869 2 года назад

And the c in Latin should have a hard K sound as well so probably a safe bet to hit the hard k whenever you see a c in a scientific name

@alveolate 2 года назад

hmm... this makes me wonder tho, do modern english speakers use classical greek/latin pronunciation at all? the one i seem to hear 50-50 on either side the most is probably 'bona fides' (monosyllabic 'faidz' vs latin 'FEE-deiz'). iirc, there's also a ton of greek+latin mishmashes in binomial nomenclature... on top of all the random non-english names for newly-discovered ones xD

@stickmanblubbles4489 2 года назад

@@alveolate I reckon it depends on the context. "Julius Caesar" for example is now pronounced completely different from its latin pronunciation, which would sound something more like "Yulios Kaiser". The 'c' in "science" is silent but the latin word it borrows from "scientia" pronounces the 'c' like a hard 'k'. Edit: I wonder if greek originating English words have pronunciations closer to the original word than latin ones.

@sampagano205 2 года назад

On the genus scale, Egerniinae would be an interesting video since that includes so many species you've actually already made videos on. From monkey tailed Skinks to blue tongues to pink tongues to gidgees. This is assuming that Scincidae is unworkable just on the basis of how skinks are the largest family of lizards and there's so many individual genera where there is basically nothing to say because we barely know anything about them.

@jonathanshumpert9549 2 года назад

There is a park near where I live that has a freshwater aquarium. They used to have a large aligator snapping turtle named Frankenturtle. He had been injured and there were large staples used repair the wound to his head. He was one of my two favorite turtles they had. The other was the Mata-Mata. Seeing it catch fish was amazing, unless you were the fish. I find turtles in the road occasionally, mostly sliders, and luckily have a nice pond nearby to release them in.

Clint, man, I will be damned if I don't tell you what an impact your videos have had on me. Not a patron now, but I will be as soon as I'm in a more comfortable financial situation. I have always had a certain level of respect for all animals and life, but through watching your videos and learning more and more incredible facts about them? It's like- a lot of people will look at a snake (or if not, something bigger like a crocodilian) and see nothing more than a mean, aggressive, killing machine. (Admitedly, I used to feel that way towards crocodilians). Not only have you taught me some incredible things about these animals, but you've helped me understand them and how they think. It makes me want to share my love for these beautiful and interesting creatures with everyone I possibly can. Thank you so much for the work you do.

@brunobeltranbelmonte1081 Год назад

About the pronunciation, you did really well for speaking in english, also you don't have to pronounce it perfectly since you wrote the name. Just a trick, If you know spanish, just think them in spanish, and the pronunciation will be almost a 100% correct, minus a few missed rules for latin pronunciation. By the way, I love your content, I love all your videos, just as I love many other RU-vidrs videos, but, this is other thing, you are just the second content creator I have found in years, that explains taxonomy and phylogenetic trees so well and among those you are the best.

@nathanong 2 года назад

I actually did a whole bone histology project based (initially) on something you said in your video about common snapping turtles: that their reduced plastron helps them walk upright. We had some snapping turtle bones in the lab so I cut them up to figure out when and how that reduction takes place in relationship to other bones- turns out it is a heterochromic mechanism but it happens in the egg- even hatchlings have a reduced plastron. So not really the outcome I "expected" but hey, that's science! 🧑‍🔬

What's really sad is that there was a primitive sister group of turtles we barely missed called Meiolaniidae that looked like a mixture of tortoises and ankylosaurids. They diverged from all other turtles in the jurassic period and managed to hang on in Australia until the late pleistocene and in Melanesia until a few thousand years ago. The last species on New Caledonia was likely driven to extinction by the first humans on the island
