Emily: *handles large snakes and other reptiles with teeth and large appetites with no fear or problem* Also Emily: *Worried about a bullfrog biting her*
@@Scrubjay457 Rex's mouth is a bit easier to keep track of and hold shut, toad is orb with teeth and no way to really not damage it while trying to stop it damaging you.
Toads got quite a strong bite, that pixie frog at full size could probs fracture/break bone. Precaution is advised regardless, don't want them growing up thinking finger is food shaped...
@@prcervi true similarly bearded dragons i know can sometimes think fingers are food and will try to eat them and they have teeth and tbh is rather get bit by a snake then a frog toad or anything else
Emily, thank you for spreading such great information! You are such a treasure. It was a blast hanging out with you and Ed this weekend. Keep being amazing!
Hi Clint. I believe Joyti Prakash Biswas may be a troll. She/ He claims to be a 13 year old and has been asking a lot of strange questions as well as insulting many others. My favorite thing they said was that We need to listen to them because god sent them, so they were superior to us.😂 Anyways if Emily goes and reports/ bans them they will no longer be able to comment. I have tried but I don’t have much “ power” since it’s not my channel.
Sugar & Spice yea, hopefully if enough people report them they will be blocked. I believe they may have already. They commented about 15 random questions.😂
Can we just take a moment to recognize how insanely specific and complex of a life cycle that flat worm has developed in order to get eaten by birds? Like, that's insane! Talk about a niche ecosystem.
When i got my Axolotl she only had 3 legs, and it was the most AMAZING thing to watch her regrow her lost leg! Within a few months you couldn't even tell she ever was only 3 legged.
I love Axolotls because they are a unique kind of salamander. I’m really sad because it’s an endangered specie, but I’m glad there is people taking care of them. And also I’m proud because Axolotl are 100% Mexicans 😂❤️🤷🏻♀️
What is lucky about being born deformed? It may look cute on a frog but put yourself in the animals position I've seen people with deformities and it's not a good thing there's nothing lucky about it. I'm only one minute and 35 seconds into this documentary but I had to say something.🧜♂️
@@Pathfinder-qp1he Ditto. Parasites are the only thing I can think of that literally make me shudder in utter revulson and I'm a nurse! I've seen enough gross things!
There’s a toad that lives by my house who is missing one of her hands. I don’t know what happened but she’s still thriving. Sometimes I feed her bugs lol
I try to befriend all the critters that live by my house. I live right next to a small forest and creek so I’m lucky that I get to be so close to so many cool animals.
Emily: "this guy makes me nervous cause he has teeth snd a big appetite" Toad 5 seconds later: *lick finger* "dis fud?" I laughed so hard! THE COINCIDENCE
When I was a girl my brothers and I would spend hours outside in the deep ditches around where we lived. We found deformed frogs all the time. Some would have open ulcers on their faces. There we were barefoot in knee deep grungy water catching deformed frogs. Can’t believe we never caught anything or developed diseases when we got older. I always wondered why the frogs were in such bad shape.
Dang woman! SO glad you and your sibs have been OK. Amphibians are crazy great as indicator species, because of how directly environmental differences of any sort affect them. Poor critters...
@@moonglowland2717 Really that's you're concern, grammar?! The last line, sure I messed that one up, I'll agree on that. But the first line is meant to be that way. You are aware that this channel is family friendly right? So you should know that kids who are still learning how to read and write in cohesive sentences and paragraphs, are going to comment things that aren't going to have complete sentences, nor have the where with all to even use perfect Grammar. I will admit, I'm an older viewer (26) but that doesn't mean that I'm a grammar snob like you are,. None of us are perfect. That all being said; if it makes you feel better, I'll edit it, so you can calm the heck down.
@@priscillanix I've worked with kids with various disabilities. And people saying that sort of garbage, that doesn't actually help a child learn the basics of reading and writing. Like that's not going to help anyone LEARN anything, it'll just make them feel like they're not good enough.
Last night I was doing the laundry in my basement, and I almost stepped in what looked like a ball of dust and debris in front of my washer. My foot touches it and I step back. At first my eyes couldn't make out what it was I thought maybe it was a dead mouse covered in dirt balled up. Then I looked closer, and it was a Fowler toad covered in dryer lint, so I cleaned her off and took her outside. Went back down to finish the laundry, and found 2 more by the dryer. The night before I found a woolly bear while I was shaking out a blank to put in the wash. My basement is turning into an animal sanctuary.
I love when Emily sits down and talks to us about different things for example this video about frogs and toads and it’s very interesting feels like I’m taking a science class all over again but even better
I know Ed doesn't want to be on camera, but it would be cool to have him narrate a tour of his favorite reptiles / amphibians, talking about them and why he likes them!
Wow! Thank you for doing such a comprehensive, perhaps unbiased informational video about this thing happening with amphibians. I had heard it was just pollution of various kinds previously. I feel like I have been exposed to the knowledge of most of the problem.
i have a one eyed frog in my garden, or at least a regular visitor. we call him Odin and he seems to be holding his weight despite his injury. it looks a fairly old injury but it always makes me feel better to see him again.
Emily! I live in florida and I had a juvenile black racer chilling next to my front door. I thought they were born black! Only the back end of him was black and after a lot of googling I learned more about florida species. Thank you for being such an inspiration 💕
I haven’t seen any frogs or salamanders around my house, there’s cottontail rabbits tho:) I wanna go pick up trash now, seeing these deformities is sad😞
This video is lowkey 'watch Emily's counter get covered in more and more dirt for 16 minutes' Also, thanks so much for the information! I actually learned a lot :D
Snake Discovery I have a question about that. I’m pretty familiar with most reptiles and amphibians, but I’m wondering about what a pixie frog’s environment should be. Most people seem to keep them in a tank with eco earth and a large water dish. However, I have noticed that a local pet store near me has one in a tank that is completely covered in about 2-3” of water. Is this safe for Pixie frogs?
I was just casually listening when you suddenly mentioned Ramshorn Snails. My ears perked up and my eyes widened; I have at least 100 amongst my four fish tanks! I had no idea they carried flukes, I'm kind of in shock really! SO glad I don't keep any frogs.
emily watch your fingers round that pixie, my fire bellies are getting old and still think my fingers are food. also as a frog lover this kinda broke my heart :( that poor little pacman though no matter what happens they always have an appetite
I️ immediately thought of this too because a lot of my queer friends joke about how silly it is that some guy thinks chemicals in the water are turning the frogs gay. Also I’m going to Like the comment so you can have 69 likes, you’re welcome.
The school that discovered the deformed frog was actually the high school I go to. Minnesota New Country School in Henderson MN. It was the biggest thing to ever happen to our school. Our school mascot is the five legged frog based on how our school started. One of my projects was about Herpetogogy and I had Emily come to our school. It was the best moment of my life.
Our family grew up round a nice lake and we pulled weeds by hand growing up. My Dad would even have a small barbeque once a month and the family would groom the garden together Now a days that I'm too ill an can no longer do so me an my husband hired a friend of ours who has fallen into hard times so we pay him to do so. There are plenty of people out there in need of jobs and so it's a win-win, help the environment and generate a sorely needed job.
I had never thought of how our weed killers and chemicals we put in our lawn affects our wildlife that lives around our homes. We have a ravine in our backyard adorned with wildlife, I'm going to stop using that lawn-care stuff for their sake.
I live near a pond and recently these perfect little frogs started showing up in and around our garden. Not a deformity in sight. I've also never seen trash lying around. Weed killers and animals are a terrible combination, so we don't use them(seeing bees in your garden is an added bonus).
The people that my parents bought their house from used to spray the entire lawn so much that no flowers would grow or anything but since we’ve been here there has been so many amphibians hanging around. Also once my dad was digging holes for fence posts and a bunch of dark frogs came out of the ground and I was wondering if you would know what kind of frog that would be.
This is super helpful! I found a tree frog that had only one eye and it looked like he never had one. Now I see that it’s possible he lost it as a tadpole. This it really cool!
I remember the reportage here in the UK about the deformed frogs in Minnesota. It was reported on in New Scientist magazine, I was 16 or 17 when it came out, fascinating story.
I'm happy and impressed about how calm Emily is when she gets bitten. It doesn't matter if it's harmless or not, if something took a snap at my finger, my reflexes would have me accidentally yeeting it across the room. TT (I don't have any critters. This is probably a good thing.)
Love seeing the notification for a new video from you guys! Would love to see more videos with your larger snakes and how your female black tail cribo is doing!
I actually had a toad missing an eye! His name was Bean and I got him very young but as he got older he started having like... Seizures? Basically the older he got the worse his neurological issues got... My vet actually put him down for me for free, because he wasn't doing great.. :(
I like salamanders and newts, but I fear frogs and toads. Legitimately at a phobia level. This video helped just a tiny bit, and I could stand to watch it. I won't be touching or going near them any time soon, but I don't hate them quite as much as I did before. Thank you Emily.
That salamander is adorable with her thinking she or he is starving 🥰🤣😂 love the cool eye of the one with both eyes!!! Pulling up by the roots is better anyways gets them gone for longer
Although pickle worms and aphids are annoying in my garden, I still refuse to use pesticides (Not only because it's an area my dogs frequent, but also because of the downsides you described) and I'm even more adamant now against using pesticides because there are salamanders and various lizards around my house. And once hunting season ends, I might actually go down into the woods and clean up trash again too.
I collected some frog spawn a little while ago (most like 90% were infertile) and alot of the ones developed to have crooked spines or legs that didnt work properly
Hi Emily!! Cool video! U have to make mooooore videos. Like I need new ones to binge watch! Also when will ur snakes be available? When will the expo video be out?
Holy smokes. Emily you are very smart. I feel like I have just sat through a biology class! I actually learned so much more from you than I did in real class!
