Fact: The great auk was a pigeon but was very fat

Another great video. I think the Mute Swan is tied with the Whooper Swan for second largest waterfowl.

As a young boy the Garter snake was one the 1st snakes I ever caught along with ring necks and actually caught a rare Green snake that was docile and beautiful.

In the book “The sixth extinction” I read one of the most awful examples of human warfare against wild life: Sailors used Auks as fuel for fire. These magnificent birds were annihilated by the most brutal and sadistic animal, humans. Lobsters thrown in the pot, foxes biting their own leg to get free from the jaws of a trap. Man kind? Hans off the animals!

you should do asmr

The great auk wasn't a penguin and u can still see penguins in the artic but Not North pole only Antarctica and other south parts of the earth like Australia, Africa, South America (only south parts of South America) and some other South places

minerals are awesome!

I find minerals quite interesting, and its crazy there's so many of them, just like animal species!

I bet this guy or girl is getting an A+ if he or she gets tested

Very interesting video. Please also show how the samples are prepared, and glued to the slides. I will now head over to the second part.

Awesome video, really well made and easy to understand

Great video! Those microscopy shots are beautiful

Comment if this video helped you to better understand optical mineralogy and how to identify minerals under transmitted light microscopy. and subscribe if you'd like to see more. I plan on doing some crystallography videos, and if you're into biology and zoology, I've got more animal analysis videos coming. And the Cambrian video will be released soon as well, hopefully in December.

Sorry this weeks video is late - but there's two parts to this one, and I wanted both to be released at the same time. Then editing took longer then usual. Make sure to subscribe and like if you enjoyed!

Great content. But the narrator's accent and inflection are all over the place. This leads me to really believe this is put together by AI. An informative piece. But possibly designed to collect data....

do herons and storks prey on juvenile coots?

Another excellent video. Maybe a good video idea could be to do pairs of closely related birds where you can highlight the differences. Blue Jay/Steller's Jay, Eastern Phoebe/Black Phoebe, Lesser Scaup/Greater Scaup, and since many people travel, comparing an American species with maybe one of it's European counterparts like American Bittern/Eurasian Bittern, Whooper Swan/Trumpeter Swan, Black-billed Magpie/Eurasian Magpie.

Turkeys survived colonization and near extinction. Now they're declining again, puzzling scientists

They are not extinct because they are not known as real penguins the great auk is a flight list birds but they like penguins but they are actually not so the government thought that they should make new birds like penguins so scientists started working on it so those are actually not penguins the great work is not a penguin so that was not paying on

Heath hens would've been cool to see. I wonder why they weren't farmed like turkeys, chickens, and ducks though....

Very cool little frogs!

The video of the scything wasn't clear enough... Is the scything motion just left and right in an arc, or does it include turning the head on its side so the "scythe" shape is open towards the mud being "sliced"? Anyway, thanks for a nice video. Also, you should cite sources in the description or even the video, as much as you can.

Another good video. It makes sense that the Pacific Chorus Frog is sister to the California CHorus Frog but if you were to go by calls, Pacific and Mountain Chorus Frogs sound very similar. It would be nice to see you do a video on the California Red-legged Frog.

Great video you can tell you've out a lot of effort into your channel looking forward to the next one

great videos keep it up

You have a great voice for this! Reminds me of Geo Rutherford (who does Spooky Lake Month) keep up the good work!

IU don't really see why the boring billion was called that, anything but boring. keep up the good work :)

The Huronian glaciation was directly caused by the GOE, which changed the greenhouse characteristics of the atmosphere. It was extremely brutal, and nearly killed off all life. But these brutal conditions also forced life to become more resistant, better organized. Cells started cooperating for survival, which is probably the reason complex multicellular organisms emerged after the Huronian, expanded, was stunted again by the Sturtian and Marinoan, and finally bloomed after the little Gaskiers blip (a very short but still severe glaciation event which helped reoxygenating the oceans).

Great video :) As I can see, a fellow small YT channel - I cannot do much, but ... a little sub for you (well deserved) ☺

The Precambrian sure is an interesting time in Earth's history!

I love the combination of real footage along with the technical science; monophyletic group aren't easy to explain! More videos please!

u said almost a quarter but it's more than a quarter. 1.25 * 4 = 5 > 4.4

The original Penguin wasn’t a Penguin at all. The Great Auk. The only flightless bird of the Northern Hemisphere.

Another great video and you taught me something, I did not know that snakes are taxonomically lizards. Where I grew up in The San Francisco Bay Area, this species was fairly common although they look different there. We also had Aquatic Garter Snakes and Common Garter Snakes and a unique and endangered subspecies the San Francisco Garter Snake, a beautiful snake found in only a few wet places south of San Francisco.

Excellent EXCELLENT video!!! As a lifelong birder I usually cringe at most TH-cam videos talking about birds because most screw some things up. You were very detailed in everything even taking care to mention when you showed another species which almost no other videos do. Your taxonomy was spot on and your pronunciation of the names was spot on. Better than I do because some old habits die hard LOL. I will share your videos when I need to teach someone. You just got a new subscriber and I look forward to more of your videos!

I see these guys chilling with the wigeons and mallards all the time! Very fun to watch.

Gadwalls are cool ducks, though i think sea ducks are superior!

Thanks

Beautiful fish hawks!

It's fitting almost.

Really interesting how america almost killed all them, when bald eagles are their national bird, and national symbol!

Huh, interesting. I heard that the mosquitos in india and africa are also developing resistance to DDT, and its becoming less effective as well.

they are also monsters that eat everything

Pelicans try that?

When they shove their spine through their pouch they look really strange!

Really cool birds!

Just because a pelican, doesn’t mean a pelishould

hawk? like... hawk tuah?

i saw a pelican for the first time on the way to high school last year 😭
