From Swans breaking bones and Bats deliberately getting caught in your hair, to Ducks quacks not echoing, there are lots of wildlife related myths that some people still believe in. In this video I go through ten of these and show why they are myths and not facts.

Yes it's so skillful how bats can fly together in close formation in the dark making rapid manoeuvres. If one stands still they may fly close to check you out and the gentle yet powerful swishing of their wings sounds thrilling

@pazamataz Год назад

great vid! Interestingly enough, there's a book of anglo saxon riddles -- The Exeter Book Riddles -- with one particular riddle perplexing people for years and years as to what the answer was. It described something at the bottom of the ocean bursting out and flying into the sky, after much scholarly debate it turned out to be a barnacle goose!

@73North265 Год назад

Having curated a University Archaeology Department's bone reference collection, which did contain an example of a Swan's humerus, I can attest to the fact that it was a hefty bone which, if used as a weapon, could do some serious damage. Sadly I wasn't able to try out the bone-breaking capabilities due to lack of volunteers...strangely enough.

Swans, like all flying birds, have hollow cavities in their bones to reduce weight; They are more likely to break their own wing than your arm.

@angr3819 Год назад

Thank you I am in my sixties and only ever heard three of those, but the only one I thought might be true is the 'swans can break a mans arm with its wing', which I thought was maybe possible if it gave a quick enough flap of a wing - even if it meant the swan might also break its own wing. Thanks for setting us straight on those myths (although I will always give swans a bit of a wide enough berth simply because I am sure they can peck hard).

@Herr_Flick_of_ze_Gestapo Год назад

It is physiologically impossible. swans bones are thin, light and hollow. human bones are dense and heavy. Swans are posers and bluffers. If a swan comes at you ... just go at the swan aswell. he will droop off quickly. and if he does come close, just grab him by the neck gently and lead him back to the water. grabbing by the neck does seem weird... however this is the only proper way to handle swans.

Hello Liam, really love your videos, also the accompanying music, so relaxing. Usually watch in the evening but today it’s morning - feeling the cold so sitting in recliner, layered up plus blanket & maine coon on lap, purring away, keeping each other warm. When the kids were small, took them to Wensum Park for a picnic - a swan spotted my sons black & white trainers and made a beeline for them, chasing him, flapping its wings & protesting loudly, it was so funny but also quite scary as it wouldn’t leave him alone, he had to keep running to prevent being attacked and in the end we all had to leave. Do you think there was something about black & white it saw as a threat? Thank you for another super video, they’re the best!

Great video. A few suggestions (ancient and modern) for the next one. Swallows hibernate at the bottom of ponds, daddy-long-legs have deadly venom but their jaws are too feeble to pierce human skin (!), badgers' legs are shorter on one side than the other (inspired by the way they run around hills), and hedgehogs drink milk from cows' udders (may be some truth in this last one). All the best.

About swallowing spiders... People drawing maps used to add fake but unimportant details, so that they could spot if a concurrent copied their maps. I read that the myth about swallowing spiders is similar: a guy who wrote a book about "fun" facts added this fake one, in order to know if another writer copied him without permission. Well.. that's what I read, it might be wrong.

@AShotOfWildlife 8 месяцев назад

I am not sure how true that is, I have heard a very similar thing being said about other non-facts that are commonly believed to be true. Its still a good story though! I wonder if the first time that spider swallowing in your sleep was written down is available anywhere online. It would be interesting to see if it is quoted word for word elsewhere. I dont know if facts can or should be copyrighted though lol

I've had rats in my garden in the past and I don't really mind to tell the truth but I don't think it is rats. I live with a hunter-killer cat and I'm sure she would have caught one at least. Could it be hedgehogs? Thank you for taking the time to answer my question.

Here in the US we have myths about our own wildlife. So to set the record straight: Porcupines do NOT shoot their quills like arrows - you have to come into physical contact to get stuck. Harvestmen (aka daddy-longlegs) are NOT venomous. Bats are NOT blind. Owls and whippoorwills (another nocturnal bird) are NOT harbingers of death; and owls occasionally do call by day. Here in the northeast there's a handsome reptile called the milk snake. It got its name from its tendency to take up residence in livestock barns, including dairy. At one time it was believed that the snakes were there to suckle the cows, and were stealing the milk - so they were killed on sight. The pity is that their presence was actually beneficial to the farmers, as they were instead preying on the mice that infested the barns.

On further reading.....Did you know? It was once thought that barnacle geese hatched out of goose barnacles attached to ships at sea - their shells washing up on the west coast of Scotland in the autumn. This belief grew because goose barnacles have black-and-white stripes (like the geese) and the nests of barnacle geese were never seen.

Bats have brushed against my head a couple of times times when I'm on the bike on the railway cycle path at night. I've had a few close shaves with near collisions generally and I've had their leathery wings brush the leg of my specs as it was forced to do a 120 degree turn in front of me. I just assumed that they didn't realise I was moving and maybe something about the noise the bike made played havoc with their sonar.

I was told they'd get tangled up in a towel thrown at them - not true, but it will often scare them into making a forced landing, at which point you can just drop the towel on top of them. Carefully bundle them up - gently, because their wings are usually splayed out. Escort them to the door, give the towel a flap, & they're on their way. (New Hampshire, USA)

I once walked one of our dogs through the local woods & a bat kept swooping & and flying, low about a foot above the dog.
