I got to hold a Wedge-Tail Eagle at the Australia Zoo. It was heavy and made the cutest mewling noises but then it dead-stared into the sky at the sounds of wild birds and that was terrifying. Absolutely gorgeous animal.
@@anangryaustralian7802 LMAO probably not. But I doubt it's doing the barreling with little coos. It was my best moment of the year right before I had to hop on a plane and head home to quarantine and isolation. I was doing a study abroad and it got abruptly cut short when the pandemic started. I used my last 48 hours to plan a trip to the Australia Zoo. Well worth it. I was not expecting the cuteness and it's cemented in my mind lol. Now would I want to get swooped in the wild? HEEEECK no.
I just found this young man 3 hours ago. Yup. I’ve binged his vid’s for hours. He’s brilliant! His knowledge, word play and deadpan delivery are mesmerising! Much Love ❤
@@Smol_potato-s1p Bro, this channel here aint the only 1 that entertains with science-fun-facts and whatnot. Sci Man Dan, Professor Dave, Hbomberguy, UpisnotJup, Tier Zoo, these are just random examples i give to you to bait you into a Tr- uhm, i mean, to share Fun and make you happy.
I don’t know what you all know about normal garden snail reproduction, but basically if a garden snail can’t get laid, that’s a really bleak situation.
Imagine if someone used Jeremy's story to write a book, but only in human. That book would sell like hotcakes. But imagine reading that story and at the end it says "Based on a True Story." Mega ouch.
Also just so y’all know the blob fish only looks as sad as it does is because in the process of being brought to the surface theirs cells explode and they look really gross, because it’s an exploded carcass.
Yeah. It's fucked up to see people making cute blobfish art and plushies when you know it's the corpse of a poor animal that basically suffered what Arnold Schwarzenegger goes through during the nightmare scene in Total Recall.
@@Maverick2736 well anyone can look at lions and see they are cute, they can and will eat humans on sight but they look cute, similar with this, I only knew this until you said so, otherwise it just looks like sad wobly fish
This channel is probably the best in my opinion, it has a perfect mix of humor and information, like I am straight up laughing too hard for my own good
Yeah but I don’t like how fast paced it all is. The Tik Tok format. I want a normal paced video not rushed fast talking so you don’t get to take in the information properly.
I majored in Zoology in college (don't ask why). I could spend hours, days with this guy. Laugh my ass off, never get bored and learn more than college taught me.
Ok. I had all my credits, and I looked at the catalogue to see where they would fit so I could graduate early. 3 1/2 years and I had a degree. But tbh parasitology was the most interesting. I went on to get my Masters degree in Public Health and my MD. I wish I hadn't. But that's ancient history.

@@The-Man-of-Pepsi 10 Feet Long, Hunt by Ambushing Prey, Even when separated, the Bobbit worm pieces appeared to still be alive, The Bobbit worm has two pairs of scissor-like retractable jaws that extend well past the worm's body when open, the Bobbit worm's jaws are so strong, they can cut the worm's prey in half, Their long bodies are covered in tiny bristles that help them explode out of their burrows when hunting. These bristles allow them to grip onto their burrow's walls to stay in position when hiding and to pull their prey in to feed....and once again, can reach up to 10 FEET LONG!

Always see them out near my dads property. Sitting there one day watching one Circle while two magpies pestered it. Next thing as one sweeps in it tucks it's wings, Rolls onto its back, grabs the magpie tore its head off and throws the two sides away. one of the most badass thing I've ever seen.

@@mlcn3900 He should have his own series regardless! Attenborough is great, but it's a bit ridiculous now that there's no heir apparent! His standing is important for issues, but the informational content of the documentaries has generally gone down in recent years in favour of spectacle and cuteness, I feel. That's what's so refreshing about these videos, they're so info-dense and concept-heavy, they really make you think, and that should be the point!

“A Gelato Baboon can roll in groups of up to 600, that is a gelato baboons” is such an underrated joke. I rewound to make sure I heard that…that was a great line.
I think it’s only simping if the person is question is going so far to please someone at the expense of their dignity, bonus points if the object of their affection isn’t even interested or doesn’t even care.
About the Atlas Moth... I live in Belgium. And believe it or not, one day I was going on an errand in my hometown I found one of these laying on the ground, lethargic but very much alive ! Which made absolutely zero sense to me when I figured its species out : we are thousands of kilometers away from their area of reproduction and they live only up to a few days (for males) or a few weeks (for females). Later I found a relatively plausible explanation when I realized there was a store selling indian furniture and products nearby : The moth likely travelled in one of their shipments in larval form only to slowly die of hypothermia on that flat land of mine. I still have a hard time to believe it retrospectively.
I had one of these I-can't-believe-it encounters too. A few weeks ago a monkey appeared in the kitchen. Like, a big monkey just hanging there on the door. It was latching on top of the door frame reaching for an onion, probably thinking it smells funny and wanted to eat it. A monkey. In the middle of a capital city, in a packed residential area, dozens of kilometres away from any zoo or pickup truck that might have transported them. I say them because it was not one, but two monkeys. My bro saw a neighbour shoo them away from her laundry with a broomstick before that, but he thought they already disappeared. It's sad thinking about it now cuz they must have been really starving for days with barely any open food stalls around esp during lockdown. I don't know if anyone had reported them to a zookeeper.
Tbf, it's not simping since they actually risk their lives to get laid. Sure they do things to please the girls but they still get laid so it's technically not simping.
@Foxy and Lucy _Mate, that's a bot._ 😑 _Don't even bother, cause that thing literally cannot care, so save yourself the stress and just report it for spam and hope that gets the damn NPC removed._ Or just ignore it. Either of those work.
@@an-animal-lover Aww, crap. I thought if enough people reported, the bots would get removed. Guess not. :/ Oh well, just ignore them then. Yes, Casual can try that, but I doubt he can keep up with the ammount of bots coming in. I don't know why they seem to have a special preference for his videos, everytime he posts a new one, they just come flooding!
@Foxy and Lucy A bot literally that: *a robot.* It's an AI (artificial intelligence) programmed to do something. In this case, spam advertisements and links in the comment sections. That is why I told you to pay it no mind, because there's literally no person who manually posted that comment, so its creator isn't actually gonna read any replies to it. They're probably just caring about how many people clink the link, nothing more.
Good news! The internet is full of interesting and useful info that isn’t all trash. It’s not illegal to keep learning after you finish school. Most useful things you will learn will be outside of grade school, as a bonus you can pick your own curriculum and subjects
@@J.A.huscher I report them. It doesn't seem to accomplish anything but makes me feel proactive. If enough of us report them, RU-vid might actually do something.
As an Aussie who lives in the outback, I see those eagles all the time, and it was only because of this video how I actually realised how damn big they are
@@southernfriedwestcoasteryeah, the weird animals like trying to get into houses too, we’ve had possums in the roof, giant huntmans in the shed and my room, red-backs under the barbie, I think we had a snake of some kind try to get to our chickens. Australia is just wild
Now if THIS dude would be my science teacher, I’d be able to pay attention, his level sass and making fun of the stuff would definitely capture my interest a lot better and stick with me easier because my brain would actually deem it entertaining enough to remember
As for the baboon thing: there was a case where a baboon troop had no alphas for a while. What happened is that the troop came upon a trash pile with a lot of thrown away food. Naturally, the alphas ate first; unknown to the them, the food was tainted. Having ate most of the food, the alphas all died. Leaving behind females and beta males. What surprised researchers is that none of the beta males stepped up to be alpha. None. So for a long time they got to see how baboons act when they aren't being lorded over by assholes. What happened is that a) stress (measured in cortisol levels) went way down, nobody at each other's throats. b) everyone just kind of slept with everybody else. c) and things stayed that way until a male baboon from another troop went alpha and took over. I think we found the secret to world peace. Maybe Bakunin was right when he speculated the first revolutionary was the ape ancestor who said "hey, what if we stopped letting the alpha males have their way all the time"? Sounds like female baboon mating habits are changing for the better though.
@@royceroyce7715 Ron Sapolsky, a primatologist, discusses this in detail. He was the one who led the study. Just think about it: alphas died, but no one stepped up. It was just women and beta males and everyone was happy until some baboon from outside took over.
You can't compare humans to baboons. There are no homo sapiens "alpha males" since human niche is different and social structure is completely unique. And there are no comparable to human mating strategy in primates since sexual selection of humans is more applicable to female features. If monkeys do stupid things which they evolved to do, it doesn't mean that humans should.
Me a few days ago - "I wonder if Panda Bears are actually aggressive and not as cute and calm as the media and films make them out to be?" Me watching this video - "Well...Jesus, that answers that question."
Always love how you present zoology in such an approachable way, it's always entertaining and manages to teach people about stuff they otherwise wouldn't really care about. (P.S. When you were talking about the Atlas Moth some of the images were of the Cecropia Moth, which is a different species.)
The blowfish used in the pictures also suffered extreme tissue damage after rubbing against the net. Basically that was the outermost layer before it reached muscle.
Good god. Those poor things. Someday, a new Cousteau will make a solid enough bathysphere to take us down and look at them without destroying them. I hope.
@@js-pb2kf there are submersibles that can get to the deepest depths of the ocean. They’re expensive, though, so deep ocean scientists usually use ROVs to do the exploration and filming. What would be an incredible feat would be creating a pressurized aquarium for deep ocean animals, but the logistics of something like that and the danger if it sprung a leak make such a thing a pipe dream.
They're "mostly harmless" though as far as deep sea worms go, I hope he knows about the whale bones... Oh and supposedly vinegar works on bristle worm spines but I haven't been brave, or stupid enough to test that theory. I own saltwater fish, they came in a rock but "they" is one or two of I forgot how many discovered species science is currently at. Still better then bobbit worms though, rather deal with the long water porcupine then living garden sheers I knew there was going to be a joke there btw and I'm glad he did that, it's funny when you can confirm they're not actually harmless, though many aren't a threat to humans
I love how 9 times out of 10 if a gastropod has an issue, it's because of torsion. Snails really are the horses of mollusks; their single biological feature is also their biggest bug. By min maxing so hard into something, its downsides also get significantly worse

@@sopapopp Horses are nightmare animals honestly. I don't get why there have to be like that. Every other hoofed mammal is just so normal by comparison. And if you look at a wild horse (Tiny, stocky, built kind of like a roided donkey but the size of a pony) it just raises so many questions. Why is that thing adapted to running so good? It's like it was waiting to be domesticated, absolutely begging to be genetically mangled into unlocking it's true potential
Ever since I first checked this channel out, I've been hooked. I've always been an animal fan and want to become a zoologist or an entomologist as a profession. These videos add a layer of humour I never knew I needed in this type of scientific medium. I've decided to finally subscribe to this channel, so please don't send a Honey Badger to give me a customized vasectomy!!!
they probably won't be for much longer and despite my usual compassion for all animals, the more I hear about them the more I feel like humans should stop delaying their inevitable fate. And no I'm not saying to kill them. I'm saying stop breeding them. They're terrible at being alive.
I'm not certain why, exactly, we're getting comments like this on this video on particular. In this video: "Panda bears are dangerous to assail" Like, what do you want from them? "Panda bears are incapable of defense and are liable to rolling over and dying immediately when confronted by adversarial pressure." Then we could blather on about how ridiculous their existence is again, but not because they're formidable beasts, like we're doing now, because apparently being difficult to kill is a bad thing, but because of the opposite!
@@Yawyna124 It wasn't regarding panda bears being dangerous to assail, I don't think there's any species of bear on the planet that isn't dangerous, it'd be extinct if it weren't. But it was regarding hearing that pandas only have about 72 hours per year to actually get pregnant in. That's just bizarrely short. Or how they can spend about half a day just eating. Then again I don't know if Pandas really have any natural predators, unless you count something like ticks?
@@volrag That's not *especially* unusual for bears, they're not very productive as a whole. The North American Black and Brown bears, for example, may go into heat for a few weeks, but are only receptive for about 3-5 days of that for a similarly tight window. In ten years, a population of black bears springing from 2 parents, assuming none of them die, is estimated to potentially go up to 15; it's from 2 to 8 in grizzly bears over the course of ten years, again, if none of them die, best case scenario. So, eh. Just kind of a bear thing. They don't reproduce much. And North American bears, likewise, can spend a lot of their time getting food as well. Black bears In the fall, for example, prior to hibernation will spend up to 20 hours each day in the pursuit of food. Additionally, while bamboo is odd, the 100% on plant matter isn't too odd. Black bears sit at 95% plant matter, and brown bears sit at 90% plant matter for their diet. I'm pretty certain most asiatic bears besides pandas are also like this with polar bears and maybe certain populations of grizzly during some seasons being the exception. It more seems like you're shocked that bears, period, could ever exist as carnivores who eat mostly plants, spend most of their day foraging, and reproduce slowly.
0:56 found it in 0.1 seconds because I am the biggest moth nerd and I fear moths. Thank for mentioning the biggest moth of the world. Also don’t forget to mention the white witch moth. Also show off some hawk moths to us. 1:18 nice picture of a cecropia moth. It’s the biggest moth of America. 1:42 again that’s a cecropia moth, not an atlas moth 🤦♂️. 🤓🤓🤓
I find it impressive that evolution is able to mimic the looks of animals and use it as camouflage based on nothing but trial and error, each generation would have to look more like the dominant animals in their habitat which for the moth's case seems to be a snake, and through who knows how long got to the point of looking like one
When you saw the snake-moth picture a few days before you watched the video: "I am 4 parallel universes ahead of you" Also fun-fact, in Germany we call these snails with a left coiled shell "Schneckenkönig" which translates to "snail king"
I hope someone discovers you and give you your own nature show cause I could watch you for hours. And I know children would learn way more from u than they would in a class room
This one's too much for me. Got goosebumps all over from the birth marked bird... got my trichophobia going nuts. The atlas moth sent me way over the edge. Love your vids, love your lyrical word play but I gotta bounce @1:49
3:38 Yeah. The blob fish was pulled up from deep sea level. The real thing didn't even look like a blob. Basically she was making fun of a corpse that exploded and deflated like a damn balloon.
“Major Trypophobia Warning” I dunno. I can probably take it. _5 seconds later_ Horrible. Horrible. Horrible. Horrible. Horrible. Horrible. Horrible. Horrible.
I once had the most majestic experience with a wedge tailed eagle. This was back in the days when you could climb Uluru, and as it turns out there are a few small patches of vegetation growing out of the Rock. Having reached the top I had energy to spare, and decided I would investigate a patch of shrubbery some distance away. When I got close, an eagle came out and hovered a few feet above my head. It was awesome in every sense of the word, and a memory I will always treasure. Naturally I ran back the way I came.
@@galaxy7979 Ha, well, I was young (early teens) and the importance of conserving energy on the way up was drummed into me so hard that I overconserved! The only fly in the ointment with the eagle encounter was finding out that my family had been watching me through binoculars.
There was a wild Snail outside my house, I fed it with leaves and dried leaves and I gave it water, fast forward about a month later, I realize that it wasn't moving, I checked up on it occasionally, It started to retract into it's shell, my guess was that it started to dry up, due to it being dry season in my Country, I used to give it water from my house, but my mother told me that Chlorine had sodium in it, which is a form of Salt, so I stopped giving it water from my house, which had Chlorine in the water. Just last week I went to check on the Snail and it had completely dried out. I wanted to cry so badly, seeing Jeremy and hearing about his story just made me think about that random snail that came by our house and got taken care of, rip Jeremy the Snail and rip Random Snail.
As mentioned, you can leave water out for 24 hours to dechlorinate water, but if your region is too hot to do this and the water evaporates too fast, you can head to Walmart or PetSmart and pick up a very tiny container of like Tetra brand water conditioner (it comes in a few varieties, but the bottles are yellow) or a more expensive seachem prime to dechlorinate the water to make it safe for things like fish, snails, and shrimps to use
Aww. I’m sorry for your snail friend, but it’s nice to meet another tiny critter lover. Me too. I appreciate Buddhist teachings. So I remind myself that animals get rebirth. You only saw one quest in the snail’s storyline. They got to restart the game as something bigger and better. Your snail is probably a happy finch now, and much more capable. If it helps, the Buddhists also believe that we tend to rebirth close to those we cared for, or who cared for us. Also, young children of a certain age seem capable of remembering past lives. It’s not completely unreasonable to think your snail might have remembered you in some fashion. You may never know it, but perhaps they come back often. Your country sounds like a tough server to play on! It’s not too late to leave out some more water! Make it a shallow dish with sloping sides if possible, and something not too slippery. Maybe even set up a wyze cam so you can see who is coming and going! Thanks for showing love to the small ones! You’re a good human!
I thought I knew a whole lot of obscure animal facts after 37 years of being into that sort of thing but you're still teaching me new ones. I love it so much. Keep it up, you are fantastic!
5:00 I had the luck of seeing Geladas in the wild while hiking in the Simien mountains! I ALSO had the luck of not seeing anyone get eviscerated (you saw those teeth in the vid, and they had BABIES which is ALWAYS risky) when the group I was with INSISTED on getting closer, closer, until they stampeded. I got the best look at them by staying back by a tree. They all ran past, and pretty close, too! S2G thought someone would get their face torn off by the alpha or an angry mama, but no, they just ran to the cliffs and climbed. Had to be a group of at 60+.
Imagine pulling up onto another planet like ours and seeing similar animals. If we want to find the weird, crazy alien s***, we gotta look in the ocean.
You know, that would be as unlikely as finding life in the first place. Evolution is a constant thing and is affected by the environment, which includes other forms of life. So if one thing evolves differently, everything else after can change if that mutation succeeds.
@@fusroda_2046 You want them to go all malevolent genie contract and qualify "another planet *like ours* " to be "another planet in a similar solar system with a similar gravity and similar life conditions with a similar ratio of water and land with similar air composition" or something?
If another planet has a similar temperature, atmosphere, soil and ocean chemical composition as ours, it wouldn't be weird to find aliens that look surprisingly like earth's animals. Their "genetic" makeup would probably be completely different, but convergent evolution would still lead to shapes that make sense.
