We explore the heated debate raging over whether the Komodo's saliva can truly be classified as venom. Evidence like venom-like toxins that inhibit clotting and lower blood pressure point to venom, but the lack of specialized venom injection anatomy casts doubt.

    Actually, your description is incorrect, the class sharks and batoids constitute is Elasmobranchii, Chondrichthyes is now considered invalid, just like Osteichthyes is now considered invalid, Chondrichthyes and Osteichthyes are now invalid because they are both paraphyletic, Chondrichthyes is now replaced with Holocephali and Elasmobranchii being evaluated into full classes and Osteichthyes is now replaced with Actinopterygii and Sarcopterygii being evaluated into full classes, according to here, the class Elasmobrachii is more closely related to the bony vertebrates (clade Euteleostomi) than it is to Holocephali, very similar to lobe-finned fish (class Sarcopterygii) being more closely related to tetrapods (clade Tetrapoda) than they are to ray-finned fish (class Actinopterygii).

      Hi Thanks for pointing out the modern classification system for cartilaginous fish. That's a great catch! In this video, I wanted to keep things clear and accessible for a broad audience. The term Chondrichthyes is still widely used and easily understood as a category for sharks and rays. But you're absolutely right that there's a more recent classification system that splits Chondrichthyes into Holocephali and Elasmobranchii, with Elasmobranchii being the class that includes sharks and rays. If you're interested in diving deeper into the evolutionary side of things, we can definitely explore the concept of paraphyletic groups and how they influenced the modern classification system. Just let me know in the comments!

    They are smart. Sentient. David Suzuki made a great study of pigeons. It's sense of smell that directs them home not magnetic fields as once thought. They recognize me blocks from my home. I'm the one with the red hair and bird seed in my pocket. 😁 I love these birds. They vibrate the most gentle hum ever. People hate them, poison them, kick them, spit on them, trap them, euthanize them. 🤬 Any wonder why I prefer animals and birds over humans?

    No, chickens are not the closest living relatives to Tyrannosaurus rex, all living birds constitute a single monophyletic group to the exclusion of all non-avian theropod dinosaurs, which is the class Aves, none of the non-avian theropod dinosaurs are part of Aves, thus making Aves valid and monophyletic excluding non-avian theropod dinosaurs, in fact, there are only thirty valid extant orders of birds: Tinamiformes (Tinamous and Fossil Relatives), Struthioniformes (Ostriches and Fossil Relatives), Rheiformes (Rheas and Fossil Relatives), Casuariiformes (Cassowaries and Emu), Apterygiformes (Kiwis and Fossil Relatives), Opisthocomiformes (Hoatzin and Fossil Relatives), Falconiformes (Birds of Prey), Galliformes (Gamebirds), Anseriformes (Waterfowl), Gruiformes (Cranes, Limpkin, Trumpeter, Rails, Crakes, Sora, Gallinules, Nativehens, Swamphens, Moorhen, Watercock, Coots, Finfoots, Flufftails, Woodrails, and Forest Rails), Charadriiformes (Shorebirds), Ciconiiformes (Storks, Herons, Egrets, Bitterns, Ibises, and Spoonbills), Pelecaniformes (Pelicans, Cormorants, Shags, Darters, Frigatebirds, Boobies, Gannets, Tropicbirds, Shoebill, Hamerkop, Sunbittern, and Kagu), Procellariiformes (Petrels, Shearwaters, Fulmars, Prions, Albatrosses, and Storm Petrels), Podicipediformes (Grebes), Gaviiformes (Loons), Phoenicopteriformes (Flamingos), Sphenisciformes (Penguins), Pteroclidiformes (Sandgrouse), Columbiformes (Pigeons and Doves), Cuculiformes (Cuckoos, Turacos, Bustards, and Mesites), Caprimulgiformes (Nightjars, Nighthawks, Poorwills, Pauraques, Owlet Nightjars, Frogmouths, Potoos, and Oilbird), Apodiformes (Swifts and Hummingbirds), Strigiformes (Owls), Trogoniformes (Trogons), Piciformes (Woodpeckers, Honeyguides, Toucans, Barbets, Jacamars, and Puffbirds), Coraciiformes (Rollers, Kingfishers, Bee-Eaters, Motmots, Todies, Hornbills, Hoopoes, Woodhoopoes, and Scimitarbills), Coliiformes (Mousebirds), Psittaciformes (Parrots), and Passeriformes (Passerines), birds are also in fact split into four major lineages, which are the superorders Palaeognathae, Palaeoaves, Aequornithes, and Telluraves, the Palaeognathae superorder is split into the grandorders Tinamimorphae (Tinamous and Fossil Relatives) and Struthionimorphae (Ratites), the tinamous (order Tinamiformes) are the sole extant order of the Tinamimorphae grandorder, while ratites (grandorder Struthionimorphae) are divided into the mirorders Struthionorheae (Holotropical Ratites) for the orders Struthioniformes and Rheiformes and Casuarioapterygae (Oceanian Ratites) for the orders Casuariiformes and Apterygiformes, the Palaeoaves superorder contains the orders Opisthocomiformes, Falconiformes, Galliformes, and Anseriformes, the Aequornithes superorder is split into the grandorders Gruicharadriae, Ciconiopelecanae, and Procellariimorphae, the Gruicharadriae grandorder contains the orders Gruiformes and Charadriiformes, the Ciconiopelecanae grandorder contains the orders Ciconiiformes and Pelecaniformes, and the Procellariimorphae grandorder is divided into the mirorders Procellariae for only the order Procellariiformes, Gaviopodicipedae for the orders Podicipediformes and Gaviiformes, and Phoenicopterospheniscae for the orders Phoenicopteriformes and Sphenisciformes, and the Telluraves superorder is split into the grandorders Columbimorphae, Furitivornithes, and Coraciopasserea, the Columbimorphae grandorder contains the orders Pteroclidiformes and Columbiformes, the Furitivornithes grandorder contains the orders Cuculiformes, Caprimulgiformes, Apodiformes, and Strigiformes, and the Coraciopasserea grandorder is divided into the mirorders Coraciimorphae for the orders Trogoniformes, Piciformes, and Coraciiformes and Passerimorphae for the orders Coliiformes, Psittaciformes, and Passeriformes.
