It makes me think of that aluminum fry holder thing and how the website of the company that sold their fries told someone to run if a brave seagull tries to get their fries.
i once saw a seagull with some kinda wooden thing stabbed into its neck. it was still walking too (it wasnt shrieking in agony or anything but it probably hurt).
Yeah. We went to the beach on vacation. We fed the seagulls a bit of food and one of them stuck around. It came back day after day, and would walk in circles around our camp, squawking and charging at any other seagulls that came close
Imagine you’re nemo and one day you come back only to see that your dad is your mom now because your mom died and clownfishes can change their gender at will and it happens all the time in nature!
Rats also have complex language! Most of their vocabulary is on a pitch we can't hear, but they actually are very talkative. There was a study done that proved that rats are capable of describing directions to eachother, warning about specific dangers, and describing which food source was best.
About the plague. Technically the rats are responsible but only because they were already swarming cities at the time. The original infection was likely from human to human contact along Silk Road trade routes while the pandemic itself was caused primarily by fleas that the rats carried around. That coupled with improper hygienic practices at the time was the recipe that almost made all of Europe squad wipe. While that's not technically their fault, it does mean that the scope of the plague was because there were so many rats. Still love the little guys. Also, you forgot to mention that rats squeal and shout when they are happy and excited. So cute.
The plague was originally spread by people and gerbils, so why are people scared of the intelligent creatures that are far better than people could ever wish to be when we should be avoiding gerbils and other people...
Actually, it was primarily spread through fleas and the Black Death wasn't the first time, as there was Justinian Plague, when it was first documented. As we all know, fleas aren't picky and rats so happen to reproduce faster than humans do, however, the Norway rat was largely resistant (for some reason) to the Plague carrying fleas.
My favorite thing about this all is the colorful euphemisms he uses. Like Lucifer’s sandbox, canceled life subscription, and feathery buffalo bills. Just, thank you.
@@Kalomay you didn't get the joke here? Aight i'll try to explain: The commenter was comparing the Rats with female humans because the both of them only let someone else do their hair if they trust them a lot. And because i'm a girl, it got me right on the feelings
Much more memorable than how I learnt it : if you bite the stuff and kick the bucket, it's poisonous; if the stuff bites you and then you kick the bucket, it's venomous
So, when he got to the part about rats I was so happy. My late pet rat George was one of the greatest companions I've ever had and when she passed I was inconsolable for days. I should point out I was in my late twenties at that time so it's not like I was ten and lost my first pet ever. Having a pet rat is amazing. They'll happily chill on your shoulder while you do whatever you're doing and George had a habit of crawling into my sleeves to take naps. This became such a thing for us that any time I wanted to take her out of her cage I would just stick my arm in and wait for her to crawl into my shirt. She'd usually crawl up my sleeve and out the top to sit on my shoulder for a minute, snuffle in my ear, and say hi before scampering down to my arm and jumping back in my sleeve to take her beauty sleep with just her little pink snoot sticking out. I've had a lot of pets over my life but very few, almost none in fact, have left as indelible a mark on my soul as my sweet little ratty. Rest in peace George. I miss you.
This was wonderful to read, though I know how bittersweet those memories are to get down in words. As someone who's always loved rodents and had several as a kid, this was the one species my mom forbid me to have - she couldn't handle being around those tails. You've re-awakened something in me, and as I'm now an adult you'd think I could just go ahead... but now it's the government forbidding that choice of pet. Besides the weather, that's the least nice thing about living in Alberta. Sure, it's good for farmers and all that, but I also imagine the children like me - and adults, too - who want and would benefit from a companion rat, but don't have that option as long as they're in this province. 😢 What did George look like? How long was she with you?
@@PFMediaServices George was a sort of cream white color with red eyes. I think she was close to a year old when we adopted her and she was with us for about 3 years.
In summer I go out and buy food from the store, break it up into tiny bits, and feed it to them while sitting on the benches across the shoreline, I’ve had the eldest of a flock eat off of my hand 2 times, and seagulls get comfortable being near and asking for more after giving them specifically. The bad thing is though if they start screeching it means they’re calling their flock because there’s food here. Where I live (Newfoundland), seagulls are harmless
@Tux Draws I live in New Jersey and the seagulls are vicious. If the birds get too close they would steal food from you and then fight amongst themselves for it. They'll attack you for a slice of bread, they're loud, and if you feed one seagull then 500 more will appear out of nowhere. It's actually illegal now to feed seagulls on the beaches of NJ (it's a $500 fine).
We had rats & they knew their names. They would come when we called them, they loved hanging out on my daughters shoulders, we taught them tricks and they often groomed us. Really good pets. RIP Remy & Emile.
seagulls are crazy. one snuck up behind my sister and stole her iced coffee at the beach. It was an open cup and he just grabbed the rim of the cup and started flip flapping away with his little pesky feet
Once had my entire rotisserie chicken be abducted by seagulls. It took 3 of them to carry the thing and they were only able to carry it down towards the beach where they dropped it in the sand.
I was actually part of the flamingo rescue. It was only for one day though, but the amount of disinfectant you had to use to make sure you didn't infect the baby flamingos was insane. They were cute and fluffy though so the late night was worth it
I also had a manatee toy that mysteriously disappeared. Two of them, actually. They were a little family. I DID find a camel toy I'd been missing for 20 years in my mom's garage, so there's still hope for manatee family.
Aww, I hope you find them! I'm in college and I have three plushie narwhals on my bed right now. And if anything happened to them I would be fucking devastated.
Just to clarify, the typical British seagulls aren’t the bad ones, they can’t eat rabbits and small dogs whole and are nowhere near as big, it’s the Scottish gulls which you have to watch out for
Confirming distilled water and antibiotics thing for the African Clawed Frog. My dad was an avid aquarist, and kept these guys alongside Dwarf Frogs, and he had one develop dropsy.
If you want a rodent as a pet, get a rat. Most rodents are nocturnal, rats aren't. Including all that stuff our boy said, they're the best. I used to carry mine on my shoulder like a parrot.
I helped take care of rats. Once you bond with them you can just leave thier cage open when you're home and they'll chill with you like a cat or dog will.
Or a cat, in Oregon (where I live) cats are considered rodents This is also a bad thing cuz thats means if its outside, no collar, no nothing... its free real estate (I lost many cats like this)
ig oregon science doesnt apply cus cats arent considered rodents anywhere else based on the fact that cats dont have the features to be classified as such
I have four pet rats and I was so happy to see the clip about rats! My rats are constantly cleaning themselves and each other, but they love it when I cuddle with them and they will try and groom my hand. They recognize my voice and will rush to the door hoping for treats and cuddles. And they are very smart - they are always exploring anything new and are one of the best furry friends I've ever had! I encourage you, if you don't have enough time for a dog but don't want a hamster, get a rat. In my opinion, the are the canines of the rodent world. Just make sure to do your research first :3
My grandfather was very eccentric and had a whole aviary in his back yard. Not only did he have crown cranes, flamingoes, Pelicans, swans, variety of ducks/smaller birds, macaws, storks, but even had penguins. They had an entirely different set up though with they’re own separate building. That said, of all the birds, the flamingoes were the most skittish. Wouldn’t let anyone near. They’d also move as one. Like you go into their enclosure, or near, and they were all synchronized with their movements. The penguins were definitely the most friendly were the penguins believe it or not. The most unpredictable and scary were the African crown cranes. As a kid, they were taller than me. I would hate when they were out of their separate enclosure bc they’d chase and peck. They do this weird dance which is cool now but as a kid frightening. I adore them now & actually became close to one before my grandpa passed. Tina was one of the few birds left at that point and I got our city zoo to adopt her. I couldn’t let her go to just anybody.
"Poison in the mouth, your body goes south, Venom in its bite your coffins sealed tight" I can't even 🤣🤣🤣. I love how he describes nature while making it relatable and still educational. Not to mention hilarious.
Seagulls can also be cute. They often stand on grass and repeatedly stamp their feet in order to draw worms to the surface by simulating rainfall vibrations. It looks like they're dancing like Michael Flatley, and it's cute as hell. Doesn't make up for the bird murder and child maiming, but I still love to see it.
@@franks2445 rats are disgusting but they mostly do their own thing. Seagulls are straight up bullies and you can just scroll the comments to see that they give no fuck about even stealing food from Humans! They are not even afraid of us and will take advantage of that, fuck those noisy birds!
When I was in middle school, my science class had two rats. My teacher would turn them loose on the long tables in class and they would climb up onto my shoulder and groom my long hair. One day, this guy was mean to me and one of them climbed off my shoulder and went and peed on his note book. If I wasn't such a cat fan, I'd have s pet rat. They are wonderful.
i have two cats and two rats. you can have both, just be sure to have a large enclosure for your rats, do plenty of research, and never let rats free roam. my rats are old now so they dont scamper around much but when they were younger, id either go to the bathtub to let them run and play, or put my cats in the bathroom and my bedroom while i got the playpen out for an hour or so.
Thank god the age of the youtube prank channel is over because if it kept going for a bit more I'm sure some of those dickheads would've tried using THAT for a prank.
@Backlash1818 Mobile Gaming Channel Probably no more than once, yeah (especially because it'll probably land the dickhead in jail). But it WOULD happen.
Fun Facts about Maned Wolf: They are very important for the environment because they spread seeds popping, and because they can walk into long distance they are very good at their jobs. They are the tallest canine of the world. Some people reported that their urine smells like weed. And it must be a problem at the zoos, because they produce a particular strong smell, since is their primary way of communication. They mate for life, but they are lone animals, and just see each other during mating seasons or to raise the pups, they are professional at long distance relationships. Their monogamy is a bit of a problem, since they are at risk of extension (because of us: the destruction of their natural habitat, iligial sport hunting and accidents on the roads), when one maned wolf dies and they already mated, their partner won't likely pick a new mate. They are very shy and will rarely attack humans, honest if you were attacked by one of this guys you probably deserved. Only 30% of their diet is meat, they will normally eat small animals, like rats. But there were cases of maned wolves killing deers, so just to be clear, they choose to not use violence.
Fun fact: When the infamous serial killers Burke and Hare took their first life, their first victim's death was blamed on dropsy. If I had a nickel for every time dropsy came up which I was watching RU-vid, I'd have two nickels. That's not a lot, but it's weird it's happened twice.
Damn dude, this makes that time when a flock of seagulls chased me down for my cheeseburger much scarier. Had no idea I was in danger of losing eyes and/or fingers. I was about 8 y/o and no joke about 20 seagulls chased me down the beach trying to snatch my burger. Finally I just cut my loses and Frisbee'd that shit into the ocean. The patty never even hit the water. One seagull caught it and then they all started fighting over it. My family just watched and laughed.
It's a great thing you thought of throwing that bun into the sky. What an honorable sacrifice. To be honest, it's just not worth it when compared to getting ambushed by hellions that fly even via storms. Like shit, those birds are metal in both a literal and metaphorical sense. Do you know they can eat grit, sand, rocks, and dirt unharmed?
Love the info on rats. We have 5 right now and they are a joy. One loves to curl up against my neck and talk to me whilst her sisters get into everything they can. They love to play, investigate everything and always come back to tell you about it afterwards. When we had rats pass away, the others mourn and provide comfort to each other as well as my wife and myself. Fun fact: a group of rats is called a mischief.
A quick tip for anyone who has food stolen by gulls: If a gull is nearby and you have some food that you are trying to eat, watch the gull or your food, as gulls like all birds are extremely intelligent and will back off if you do this
I feel bad for the writer imagine just living your best life and then someone comes up and slaps you with what looks like an oversized leaf and you just start feeling like your face is being rubbed up against hot coals while also getting the electric chair treatment
This guy's quick descriptions of death are so creative and hilarious 🤣 "This frog will make your breathing stop causing you to do the mannequin challenge permanently."😂
Wouldn't the guy have been stung the moment he picked the plant up? It stings almost immediately, so I think that guy ending himself from the pain in that region isn't real, because why proceed to wipe with stinging plant?
I now have better idea on how ferocious steven's species is... I love how the plant doesn't kill you by itself, no, it makes you game end yourself-- and like puffer fish, of course what doesn't kill you makes you hungry...
I had severe musophobia (fear of rats) when I was younger and still have bits of it, but knowing these facts about them (as well as making eye contact with a very small rat sitting on a wooden box on my way to school plus knowing that some people have rats take care of stray kittens) make me appreciate them much more.
Finally people appreciate rats, I have pet rats and they are the just cutest and most affectionate. Thank you for doing a segment praising rats!! If you’d like to hear about me gushing about my pets, they immediately start chittering (another way of a rat getting excited/happy) once I walk by their cage.
According to my Jamaican family and friends, dropsy is when u fall asleep at the drop of a hat just about anywhere. I prefer that than what that frog has going on.
I thought it's already a common knowledge that corals are animals. Here in my country which is the Philippines we are consisted of islands and surrounded by waters, and we are very protective of our sea *ehem*(south China sea) and the creatures that lives on it including the corals that is why tourist must follow proper protocol since we found out that some of the tourists engraved their names on the corals, imagine how painful it is.
Not so fun fact about rats: if they're not fed constantly, they'll start chewing each other's tails off. Source: I once kept rats to feed a reticulated python I caught in my dad's back yard.
@@mediokay508 Nah, they were deathly afraid of the python when put in the same enclosure. The rats knew their number was up the moment they smelled that distinct python poop smell.
I love you brother, this was confirmed when you started talking about dragon mania legends! I love your videos! I love the up beat cute music, straight face, facts, and the roasting of the animals! Perfection!
Seaguls are no joke over here, man. everywhere has their crazy bird, and ours is the seagul. they're massive, they look like Dinosaurs. I once seen one eat a while pizza in one fucking gulp :D
Have you seen the video of the woodpecker eating the brains of another birds young while they're still alive. Worst shit I've ever seen on the Internet but it ruined any and everything with a beak for me
I remember this one time me and a friend were sitting in a parking lot watching birds, and there were these seagulls trying to grab this leftover stuff from a fast food place. Then, this one crow swoops in like a boss and scares off the seagulls, and it gets to rest the food. It was so cool.
I’ve been binging this guy for about 4 hours now, and I’ve loved and hated every moment of it, now I have even more surface level knowledge that gonna mean nothing to me later. Still love the content tho
Steven : You could trust me actually. On 999th day of feeding my seagull: Guys,look Steven brought her grandchildren. Steven: Shut up B**th ,what you exciting about, bring the food quickly.
