I chuckled for a second hearing someone being clumsy but seeing him not react to it made me believe it was on my side so I had to play it back for a second XD.
Being an avid turtle enjoyer. knowing how long they live it saddens me to see so many dead in such a young age. Still very interesting and educational though
Out of a each few thousand turtles hatching, only a handful will survive and get off the beach, then MAYBE ONE will make it past the initial shallow waters where predators wait for their hatching
@@Lokiip I think you’re thinking of a sea turtle. Snapping turtle have around 5% of hatchling survival rate. Which is a lot higher than sea turtle’s 0.1% hatchling survival rate.
Two questions: 1. do the animals die of natural causes or are they killed? 2. Does the ethanol need to be replaced or does it maintain it's potency forever?
Common snappers actually get to be much bigger than the head you showed. That one was probably only a little over a couple years old. They can easily live to be 60 years old or more, and get over 100 pounds. The question is, is that one turtle with two heads, or two turtles with one shell? Either way, they are super cute!
This is like... Special interest inception. A special interest within a special interest. I love animals, biology behavior... All of it. I also love the weirder aspect of nature. I'm also a bit obsessed with conjoined twins.
Most mutants like two headed or cyclopeon animals can only survive for a short time (usually just hours or days after birth) before they succumb to the health issues that gave them such a deformity.
Aye…..based on the thumbnail I thought this was gonna be one of those weird videos where people put animals in harmful situations for views and act like it’s cute or they’re “rescuing” them. Just curious, if the turtles are perfectly formed (besides the two headed one) how and why did they end up preserved like this? Were these turtles dead or were they caught and killed for this purpose?
Most likely killed for this purpose. To be fair, I know nothing about wet specimens, but to my knowledge they're mostly made up of euthanized animals, if they were already dead they probably would have some kind of damage.
there's no way to know for sure, however, as someone who has wet specimens, from what I've seen so far, more often than not, the animals were already dead, combined with only 5% of snapping turtles actually surving to hatch, then only 1% of hatched snapping turtles surviving to reproductive age, at least that's what google tells me lol, so I'd say it's probably pretty safe that assume that it was natural causes
1:18 I was wondering why you skipped one of the numbers, but it had 2 in parentheses so I guess it was the two headed turtle, plus the jar is facing away so it might've been an accident aswell
He went out into rivers and lakes, found and killed them and put them in jars to preserve them...Error! Oh wait, I was wrong! He works at a museum and these are very old turtles that were preserved by the museum. My info is the LABELS and the fact that the tag said it was from 1940.
your so cool! these are my favorite kind of sea water unboxing! i love the jar unboxing even i like the other jar unboxing the hammerhead sharks! plz do more of these sea water unboxing! i love your vids!
Omg, this guy... "What would you like to see next? I have every animal on planet Earth. So let me know." Me: "EVERY ANIMAL ON PLANET EARTH, PLEASE!" 😁 Wow. Definitely the development of the fetus with the shell was educational to see. I always imagined that to be the case, considering that I've seen them hatch. But wow. Can't help but feel a little forlorn when I see these, but I am absolutely fascinated.
