We still don't even have a proper dolphin Pokemon yet, either. Get on it, Game Freak! Update: Game Freak finally gave us a dolphin Pokemon, and it's adorable.
I went behind the scenes of a komodo dragon enclosure at a zoo I always went to for summer camp and I was shocked that it had the same amount of security as the lions, tigers, and bears. Those things are top tier predators you can't fuck around with them.
So Tigers have paw-pads, camouflage, the ability to mimic the sounds of it's pray, and a habit of aiming at the weakspots These things are straight up natures assassins
Some people call Lions the kings of the jungle when it's actually Tigers, especially with all the shit they can do. (Especially considering lions don't live in jungles anyways) Also I love that you specified paw pads first for Tigers, best priorities right there tbh lol.
@@Crispierbug I mean with toebeans they don't even need to ambush me, all they gotta do is lift they leggie and I just m e l t "Awh lookit the little kibby beans,,," as it tears me open asfhsjsdjfh
Lol, as a fellow biologist, I feel yah on the just knowing stuff and getting sent weird things to explain. But you explain things way more fun than I do xD My mother is also a biologist, in her 60's and originally sent me your videos because she also love them.
My mom's horse does the flehmen response every time he gets a cookie and I love it. It's simultaneously adorable and hilarious looking. Never get sick of it.
I live in Detroit . Paragrin falcons and Red Tail Hawks are country birds . They live in the city now . They came after the rats and pigions . Those Hawks don't have a shortage of rats and pigions to eat . Every other time I look up , I see this narly Red Tail fly on top of a power pole with a rat the size of my foot . They don't even wait for the rat to die before it starts eating .
@@IMADINOSAURNOTABIRD to ask a stupid question like that tells me that you must put your cellphone down and try a thing called life . Your friends and family are there .
False killer whales: Looks fucking horrifying, but are extremely friendly and will delete dolphins for fun. Dolphins:Sounds friendly, looks friendly but will sexually violate anything and everything. As for the spots on a killer whale's head, in nature when mankind was just figuring out metals, its believed the ocean still had some more predatory sea life and the Killer whale was on the menu, however there is a vague rumor I heard years ago (I am not using this as a fact, just an idea). that early sailors once hunted killer whales and would pluck our their eyes to make it easier to hunt the whale.
Fun fact: when you take the tiger “moo” and pitch it up, it sounds exactly like a house cat meow. Same goes for pitching down a cat meow- it sounds like a tiger moo. I’m convinced tigers meow in much the same way cats meow at humans.
Just saying... If you're ever in tiger country and hear, "oh, yes, oh baby, I'm so weeeet~" coming from the treeline, just run. It's not worth the risk.
I don’t care how “friendly” those False Whales might be…to me they look just like the creatures from the Alien movies. I was waiting for a second smaller head w/razor teeth to pop out 😳
I absolutely love how during the pig testicles thing you not only lamented that you already knew most of this stuff but asked us if we were happier knowing this because of you. Honestly, I'm not sure if I am, but delivery and lines and the laugh I got out of it was worth it.
This is hilarious, but also extremely educational (the Peregrin Falcon part). I love learning about animals in these videos, it's certainly more entertaining than any biology or ecology class I ever took!
Fire is more terrifying. So either you have a gaurd, or you sleep in a cave with a fire at the entrance to keep things out. Temporary defenses in the form of thorn bushes also work
House cats mimic too! They've evolved alongside humans so long that they've learned the various tones and sounds of our voices, to the point that when they want their human to feed them they meow at the exact same frequency that human babies cry when *they're* hungry!
My cats literally learned how to meow a "mama" guess who thought she should get an exorcist or into therapy when hearing it in the midd of the night while the kiddo was at grandmas house.
I think I taught my new cat how to trill lol. Like I know cats make a purrrp like sound on their own but when I got this kitten she didn’t make that noise. I kept making the sound at her as best I could whenever I saw, pet, or played with her. Now she trills whenever she sees me or wants to play, but it doesn’t sound like how my old cat used to make that sound. She sounds like she’s imitating me imitating a cat 😂
When seeing the tiger part it made me remember that my cat tried to lure pigeons closer to her by trying to mimick their coo. They almost got fooled, but had time to fly away ^^
I love your videos, b/c I've spent vast swaths of my life studying animals, yet I almost always learn something new from your vids, like falcon f*ck hats! Learning about this little bird factoid has drastically improved my day. You sir, are an exceptionally clever, talented and funny writer. I really enjoy your content, even tho sometimes whilst watching, I have to plug my ears & close my eyes & scream "la la la la la la!"
Omg they had to do this for a critically endangered crane species named walnut I believe, a conservationist had to basically become her husbands as she was hand reared by humans and was being suspected of killing other important cranes in her breeding program, but she was in luv with that particular handler and once he noticed she was initiating courtship behavior he returned it, became a bonded pair with her and will continue to do so for a long time as they mate for life and can only artificially inseminated by him with her consent lol (cause usually you have to restrain animals to artificially inseminate )
Oh yeah. I think he talked about it in a video once. Forgot which one, but I didn’t know about it previously before I started watching his videos so it’s probably from him.
"Jim come out of the bathroom soon, they're saying a tiger escaped" "Hwoararo" "What Jim" "Coming Honey. I'm fine in here." "Ok Jim" **Opens Door** "What the hell Jim you turned Tiger" **Proceeds to get mauled**
Today I realized how weird it is that whenever we see an animal with a really odd head someone is guaranteed to describe it as 'hammer head', and it's up to the coin toss of history to decide whether that sticks regardless of whether it makes sense.
I don't know if it's still alive, but for years, we've had one peregrin falcon living in our area--the belief is that it was blown off-course by a storm or something. I've seen it a number of times because it lived near where I worked. People kept saying someone should bring it a mate, but I don't know if anyone actually tried to do something about it. I think it's part of why pigeons disappeared--they had been a major pain for a long time, then suddenly none to be seen anywhere.
I don’t know how I found your channel, but I love how you make everything so funny and captivating! Although I generally try to keep my teen away from stuff that will end up getting her sucked into a screen, I am definitely thinking about adding this to homeschool science curriculum! Thanks!
The tiger fact reminded me once I was talking to a friend about mythological creatures, the manticore is a myth-based on tigers and one of the abilities of this creature that didn't make sense until then was that it could imitate the sound of other creatures, including humans, but in a tone that resembled a trumpet. I don't think we have much time left lol
8:11 Red Deer seeing tiger: “Ok you look nothing like your profile picture” Tiger: (poorly imitates call of horny female deer) Red Deer: “….meh you only live once I’ll take my chances let’s do this” Tiger: “Excellent choice of words”
I’ve actually seen videos where captive raised tigers DO seem to try to imitate people. Also…it’s actually impressive how a lot of birds of prey have come back from the brink. As an 80s kid, I still have a book from when I was little that lists TONS of those species as endangered when now they are thriving again. ❤️
Peregrine Falcons: “I’m the fastest creature on the planet” The poor hat workers: “Not as fast as the suicidal thoughts that come to mind everyday when I go to work…”
More fun facts: Their estimated terminal velocity at low altitude is 250mph/400kmph Their estimated terminal velocity at high altitude is 388mph/625kmph Their bodies can withstand 25G going from a stoop back to level flight They have a flicker fusion frequency of 129 Hertz (humans have one of only 75 Hertz) They are tetrachromatic and have the ability to see in the dark because of this
@@Salmaniack If you find peregrines interesting, you might also like the hierofalcon clade: Gyrfalcons, Laggards, Lanners and Sakers. Their specialty is more to do with strength and hunting in level flight rather than a stoop. For example, an adult gyr is capable of bringing down an adult Canada goose and their diet contains more mammals than the diets of other falcons. Gyrs have also been clocked at 90mph/145kmph in level flight and 130mph/210kmph in a rare stoop, while sakers have been clocked at 93mph/150kmph in level flight and 200mph/320kmph in a rare stoop. They're so closely related that they are capable of successfully hybridising in the wild where their natural habitats overlap, and it's not uncommon for falconers to use hierofalcon/peregrine hybrids for a combination of speed and strength.
7:54 I'm pretty sure that housecats do something very similar when they like... chirp at birds through the window - hoping to lure in one curious enough to check out the sound. I know that I only ever see murder in my childrens' eyes when they chirp at the chickadees.
I use your facts when I have awkward silences with people. I always get a different and interesting response from people, and it always keeps the conversation going for another 30 minutes
"For reference, a human man can release about a hundred million little squirmers in one round. But when this wild pig empties its clip, it can produce about fifty. BILLION." Okay, that's super sus 😏
QUESTION: So our kitten (one year old on the 30th!) does something like this and we have always called it her "curiosity mouth" is this the same thing? She just hangs her mouth open anytime she smells when she is around our shoes or any guests.
Tigers imitating other animals to lure in prey reminds me of a korean horror folktale/mythical beast that imitates people's lost loved ones to eat them. It's called jangsan beom(means tiger of jang mountain). Well the more ya know 🤷♀️
That actually sounds like it could have been real since tigers can be man eaters. Maybe one was so good at hunting humans it learned how to mimic us and used the voices of those it killed to attract their family members.
@@roxywyndham bit late reply, but that movie was loosely based on the idea of the creature. Added a supernatural element to the 'cryptid only reported to have been seen like twice ever' original
Life motto of many digital artists drawing furry smut. It's an injoke in that community how many of their high-paying clients commission them to make yiff...
@@YourKingJDG theyre probably an artist themself. what he said is actually true, many high-paying commisioners (if youre over 18) ask for you to draw some real funky stuff. im not over 18 and dont have any other social media, but i used to and some artist friends did indeed comfirm lol
The Flehmen Response is something I had no idea about. My horse would always do this when I played with his muzzle so I assumed he was messing with me but I guess he just was curious about my smelly fingers.
It’s also called the Jacobson’s organ and pretty much everything you said about it is correct. Though I do have evidence from my goats proving that animals also use that flemen response in regards to not only pheromones but also with strange or very unfamiliar smells like say perfume. I also have nanny goats who will use that to identify her kids shortly after birth so she knows 💯 who they are and they are hers so no other kids can sneak in and steal her milk.
