The Biology and Evolution of Camels and Llamas
Camels and Llamas are the only living members of Camelidae. Both are exceptionally well adapted for some of the harshest climates on Earth. Many of their species have been domesticated by humans for thousands of years, where they have been used as beasts of burden, as well as for transport, milk, and wool.

The Biology of Cottonmouths, Copperheads, and Cantils
มุมมอง 3.4K14 วันที่ผ่านมา
Cottonmouths, Copperheads, and Cantils are vipers in the genus Agkistrodon. Cottonmouths and copperheads are responsible for most of the treated snake bites in North America. The cantils are less well-known as they are found in small areas in Mexico and Central America, but are possibly even more dangerous.

    I get so excited when I see that you’ve uploaded a new video, I’m always interested in what grouping of animals I’ll get to learn more about next. For an another group you could tackle, I think it would be fun to talk about the Afrotheres. Elephants and the sirenians are iconic beloved groups, while the tenrecs sengis and hyrax I fell kinda fly under the radar of most people.

    I really like this video and if you don’t mind me asking but can you do one on the goat antelopes and these so called goat antelopes are not really antelopes but instead they are more closely related to sheep and goats than to regular antelopes like gazelles and they are called goat antelopes because of their physical characteristics which are intermediate between those of the stockily built goats and sheep and regular antelopes with their long legs and the goat antelopes come in many shapes from stocky builds like musk ox and takin to medium sized builds like the serows and gorals and from goat like animals like the mountain goat to long horned species that resemble antelopes like the chiru aka Tibetan antelope and the goat antelopes include the Musk Ox, Takins, Serows, Gorals, Chamois, the Mountain goat and the chiru aka Tibetan antelope.

    Very well done; thank you! I live in Wyoming, in core habitat for this species; they are currently in trouble due to habitat loss, harsh winters some years and drought at other times, along with predation primarily by coyotes but also golden eagles, and... primarily... the energy extraction industry. Their numbers have plummeted all across their range. I have watched them, loved them, studied them and hunted them since 1963.

    I live in southern Oregon. I visit my son and his family in Dorris, California, in the far north of that state. Their house is on an enormous hay ranch and they have resident herds of pronghorns that are fascinating to watch. The females and calves run in herds of about 15-20 and a large male runs in the back, presumably for protection. Sometimes the herds converge to form a much larger herd of perhaps 200. This is dependent on time of year, but I don't remember the details of this. Perhaps the separation is done so as not to put too much pressure on resources of one area of water and food. They are beautiful to watch in the distance, migrating back and forth on the fields that are the same golden color as the pronghorns. I had no idea that the pronghorn diverged from the giraffe (was it 10 million years ago?). I made a minor attempt to find out where they came from, as I had read that they were not an antelope. But, it seemed so vague. One source did state that their closest relative was the goat, which I see came much closer to what we now know as the pronghorn. So, thank you for the very complex history of this lovely animal!

    You are mistaken about them not being able to jump. Pronghorns have been known to jump over moving semi trucks on I-80. I have talked a trucker who got jumped! That jump cleared 16 feet. Also any scientist that says they are limited to short distances and low speeds like you say, is wrong as well. Their top speed is pretty close to 70mph as they love to pace traffic on I-80. I have seen them pace traffic for 15 minutes which is stunning to say the least! Those little hotrods have every other land mammal beat for speed. They are even faster than a cheetah and can run very long distances at high speed and do so just for fun. It is fairly obvious that the "scientific" data on this species is pretty crappy. On oddity of Pronghorns is that they are very curious animals and not particularly fearful. They do stay to themselves or will congregate with cattle sometimes but it appears that they really are not that interested in domestic cows.

    I hunt in my home state of Colorado. I no longer hunt in the mountains for reasons that would start fireball rant about Green politics, John Denver's "Rocky Mountain High," and out of state hunters and greedy land developers. My partner and I hunt Mule Deer and Pronghorn out in the high plains on private ranches where we have known the ranchers for over three decades. Pronghorns, otherwise know as "Speed Goats" or "Prairie Ghosts" are my favorite. They are tough critters and are built for their environment. Their vision is equal to 8 power binoculars. They have huge hearts and tracheas for their physical size; which makes for highly efficient Oxygen/Carbon Dioxide exchange. They can run short spurts clocked at 60+ MPH and lope along for long distances at 25 +/-MPH. They have one real weakness....They are curious beasts!

      Thank you. I hadn't known that. However, I saw a documentary about Cheetahs and the scientists couldn't ever clock a speed greater than 55 mph. They wondered what was wrong with their study group. So the looked for the Source information for the 70 mph claim. They found there wasn't any basis for it. It's a myth. Someone apparently just said, "Wow, it must be going 70 mph," and everyone has been quoting that. THEREFORE, PRONGHORNS ARE THE FASTEST ANIMAL.
