As a kid we used to have races against the tumbleweeds, if was a lot of fun! We also would grab three really round ones to store for Christmas to make snowman with...🙂
In some areas of the Karoo they’re everywhere! When I lived in SA I went between Cape Town and Durban area a lot. It was a sight to see as we drove through the Karoo and also see some cool mountains and caves. Such a beautiful place.
Tasha the Amazon is so charismatic, as well as knowledgeable! Her plant videos, albeit too short for my taste, are always great content! Keep doing them please :-)
Every time I see a tumbleweed I can only think of the greatest music video ever created - Carbon Leaf’s “a life less ordinary” where a zombie tumbleweed traverses America to find his orchid love 😂
Interesting how most of the tumbleable plants are all in the Amaranth family. Edible leaves and seeds, several species were domesticated by the native people of Central and South America. Shoutout to Quinoa and grain Amaranth. :)
If you can talk about ferns that would be cool. Its a plant every person knows the name of, but few people know how ancient they are. Great episode as always. Love from South Africa
In East-Europe tumbleweed blowing through the streets means "this place is boring"... I love that plants. And now I know they from our corner of the world :-) thank you
Thank you for adding this feature love this series. Please talk about Tehachapi California bane: the Evil "Star Thistle". No matter how thick the jeans or gloves goes through and for years it was my job to mow or weed wack them.
When I worked in Kazakhstan as a helicopter pilot, we’d often takeoff and land amidst a tumbleweed stampede lol. First time I saw it there I was like “Wtf, you’re a long way from home!” Apparently not.
Loving the lighting in this one, also thanks for your excellent work. Always bit especially today, the nephew loves your materials, thanks for your virtual essence.
The amount of times tumbleweeds almost killed me in Arizona splattering across my windshield, I'm glad they're dead! 🤣...But, I still love that you covered this plant!
I live in a town/city in the desert. Every once in a while, after a storm, I'll find a piece of tumbleweed in my front yard. Interesting that they originated in Russia because they really invaded the western USA.
They are incredibly invasive, pull them out when their young to help reduce numbers. Honestly it can be a job itself doing the work as there are many. But it needs to be done to make sure they don't outcompete other native plants.
If you've ever driven down the highway when a bunch of tumbleweeds are coming at you, they seem like a charging herd. They also explode when they hit your car, and have a similar impact feeling as a small bird. If you've ever played the game serious sam, that's how it feels driving down a highway being "attacked" by tumbleweeds....
Did I miss the CGP Grey credits for the numerous shots from his video where he drive among the tumbleweeds? There's no better videos to actually understand how bad this weed is.
The wild American old west theme is popular in Japan. A story I heard was about a Japanese tourist driving through the southern US. She spotted a tumbleweed and was so excited that she pulled over, collected it, and put it in the trunk.
We eat the Amaranth almost every week. It's quite a popular leafy vegetable here in South India. It makes hearty stews with its sweet and salty leaves - quite delicious and nutritious.
I freakin' love tumbleweeds! When I saw the skittering around OK and AZ they look animated, like living things. Living things that are having a blast! I saw one in Tombstone that was about 7 feet high. Bums me out to hear that some in the US are invasive. They were among my favorite characters that I met in my trek from MA to Tuscon to Grand Canyon to CO via UT. And because of their animated "behavior" that is just how I viewed them. As characters. Some of the best and most entertaining people I met were round, dried up, dead bushes, LOL! And they were in competition with many homosapiens who were also animated and entertaining. But there's something about the tumbleweed that just cracks me up! Thinking about being one in my next life, even though it means being dead. I just want to roll and skitter around all day. I'll definitely be the non invasive variety though! 🤣
Early spring, in NM, on the plateau, those things are everywhere. We'd clear them in the morning, we'd have to clear them again. I told the other worker the story of Sysyphus.
I used to live in El Paso Texas wich has very windy days during the spring and one time I was driving to my aunt's house and there was a tumbleweed about the size of the car in the driveway. We had to park in the street. I don't remember how we got rid of it but I think it just go blown away from the wind.
I once saw a picture of a house that had gotten nearly completely buried in tumbleweed and I remember it being the most hilarious thing.
Do you also feel sorry for Ivlis?
Imagine having to dispose of them by hand without gloves. Ouch!
Texas plains are perfect for them, that house in the photo you're talking about is outside my city area.
@Deadly Dingus
Ah yes the tumble house, one of the finest mobile homes!
From southern AZ. Have had that happen a few times. I hate the wind.
"It dies and then it rolls"
and later
"This is the most important part of its life"
I find this strangely relatable...
@ᴡɪɴᴛᴇʀᴍᴜᴛᴇ _ Don't we all
@ᴡɪɴᴛᴇʀᴍᴜᴛᴇ _ What are you talking about?? This guy is a tumbleweed..he's just living his life
I understand you
True 😭
don't do it, ok?
Tumbleweed probably the only thing that can be funny after they die. Their rollin always make me laugh 😂 Funny yet adorable somehow lol
@sprock snore
You must not have to deal with them on your property or piled up against your fence or house... Very tough to get rid of and a fire hazard to boot....
As a native Michigander who relocated to SE Washington, my first encounter with tumbleweeds was strangely exciting.
Ok boomer grandpa sientcist rob maxwell
@@Alexios1389 stfu, he has a life y'know.
SE Washington definitely has an abundance of tumbleweeds 😂
I live in Yakima. Tumble weeds were piled 25 feet deep causing the closure of I82 toward the Tricities.
Same... I had never seen them in the wild before. Driving through WA... piles of them alongside the road was strangely hilarious.
*"They see me rolling. They hating."*

This has some real wholesome energy.
But did yall win tho
As a European, I didn't even know that they exist. I thought that they were just another western trope.
Which is quite ironic, given that they're not native to the US.
@@soddinnutter5633 wait what?
@@soddinnutter5633 oh I just saw it
@@soddinnutter5633 Well just not this specific species.
What other western tropes can you think of? As someone who lives in the "west" I'm curious. I bet there's a lot more real stuff than people think.
That deer looked pretty annoyed. 😃
The deer be like
"If only I had hands..."
“This is the worst thing that has ever happened to me.”
Imagine David Attenborough narrating the migration of the tumbleweed at 2:38.
David Attenborough makes everything sound like it's been ripped straight out of the Iliad
@@tehrik0020 Yes, I agree… He makes stories more exciting and dramatic…. 🤗👍 and reliable, too.
Here in the center of South Africa, we have a region called the Karoo, and the tumbleweed is also present here, rolling and tumbling happily along
In some areas of the Karoo they’re everywhere! When I lived in SA I went between Cape Town and Durban area a lot. It was a sight to see as we drove through the Karoo and also see some cool mountains and caves. Such a beautiful place.
@@hawkfeather6595 the other day I saw a child with a string tied to a huge one, running around with the tumbleweed dragging behind like a trailer.
Wow, 10 meters?? 😳😳 If a huge tumbleweed rolls toward you, it must be scary…😅
I will lay sprawled out on the ground just as punishment for standing out in a windstorm.
It reminds me of that SCP that's just a giant ball of sharp things you can get trapped inside of.
@@griffingamer8624 Yeah, that's an idea~ 👍✨ I saw hundreds (?) of tumbleweeds rolling when I passed by Arizona but not the 10-meter ones...
@@neolexiousneolexian6079 Oh, that sounds like scary..😳
That thing would mess you up. It'll give you a bad day
Tasha the Amazon is so charismatic, as well as knowledgeable! Her plant videos, albeit too short for my taste, are always great content! Keep doing them please :-)
Agreed!
Agreed! She's been a great addition!
They see me rolling.
They hate it.
They're hoping they'll catch me riding dirty.
Official Theme Song of the tumbleweed.
People do hate tumble weed. They are a problem in US.
Flowers: "pls help. Not long to live. Find homes for my children!"
Tumbleweeds: "Animals have outlived their usefulness."
I was about to say that lol
Each Animalogic video I watch, is knowledge gained. and I've just about marathoned every episode!😍
CGPGrey already have planted a hatred towards tumbleweeds on me even though I've never seen one
Embrace the weed, love the weed.
I've seen them in person....
*Grey is right, they are evil*
The greatest Pokemon on the Animalogic channel ever.
Every time I see a tumbleweed I can only think of the greatest music video ever created - Carbon Leaf’s “a life less ordinary” where a zombie tumbleweed traverses America to find his orchid love 😂
Holy shit, I've been saying for years that someone should make a documentary about the tumbleweed and this was uploaded on my birthday ?
Thanks lads.
That y'all did a tumbleweed episode makes me love this channel even more. Respect 🤘🏾
Tumble weeds really do be going rolly rolly rolly rolly rolly, how they get that much energy?
Wind pushes them
@@evanorizam5388 no.🤔
@@deandrefontenot4110 Okay. Fine. You got me. Perpetual motion magnets, then. You happy?
@@deandrefontenot4110 3:50 Also, those nitrate (oxidiser) levels obviously function as a form of rocket fuel.
I keep saying this and I keep will, please talk about the Hamerkop, their amazing and little is known about them
.... am I the only one who found it amusing that honey was supporting floralogic?
I mean its not like irony but it's still funny to me
Fitting.
Interesting how most of the tumbleable plants are all in the Amaranth family. Edible leaves and seeds, several species were domesticated by the native people of Central and South America. Shoutout to Quinoa and grain Amaranth. :)
Imagine if a whole ton of tumbleweeds got stuck and rolled together into a town
Wait alr happened
Like all the time
Very common.
@ᴡɪɴᴛᴇʀᴍᴜᴛᴇ _ which can actually happen to all gregarious rodents with long tails like squirrels too
@ᴡɪɴᴛᴇʀᴍᴜᴛᴇ _ is that a Grimm reference 🤣
Das uberweed
Great video on the worst nightmare of the Department of Agriculture! Also, a video on Redwood trees would be really interesting.
5:40 the guys voice is an odd mix of calming and funny, I liked it.
The background music sounds a lot like the Amphibia outro. It’s a bop
The music tracks are in the description, if you'd like to check them out. :)
@@jimpitts5015 Thanks! ✨
Never thought a video about tumbleweed would be so entertaining. This channel never disappoints.
They see me rollin’ got me here 😭
Hell yea hahahhha
They see me... "Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin'
기다리고 있잖아 babe, just only you"
brave girls ❤
If you can talk about ferns that would be cool. Its a plant every person knows the name of, but few people know how ancient they are. Great episode as always. Love from South Africa
I can't express how happy I get when yall drop a new vid in this series! Ty!
In East-Europe tumbleweed blowing through the streets means "this place is boring"... I love that plants. And now I know they from our corner of the world :-) thank you
I once saw a bunch of them catch fire and get caught in a dirt devil, making a flaming tornado.
thats cool
CGP Grey approves
I was hoping there'd be a mention of him. 😄
Tumbleweeds: The Wrath of Khan
"they see me rolling" i first think of the Weird Al version of the song, is that bad? 😅
I just gotta say animalistic I love these videos.
i absolutely love the floralogic series! can you do a video on moss?
Thank you for adding this feature love this series. Please talk about Tehachapi California bane: the Evil "Star Thistle". No matter how thick the jeans or gloves goes through and for years it was my job to mow or weed wack them.
Tumbleweeds. Excellent! Keanu Reeves approves.
Thanks for watching!
Amazing episode. Interesting plants.
In Canada, i have never seen tumbleweeds at all.
Palm trees is something I’m interested of seeing
Can you cover about Pandan leaves
Digitalis could be a good plant to cover, it has medical uses and is loved by pollinators and hummingbirds.
When I worked in Kazakhstan as a helicopter pilot, we’d often takeoff and land amidst a tumbleweed stampede lol. First time I saw it there I was like “Wtf, you’re a long way from home!”
Apparently not.
They like to stick together like Velcro too. They'll bunch together against fences and walls. Clean up is a breeze though if you have a pitchfork
If they weren't so flammable they'd make a pretty cool light fixture
I saw a 30m one once across a highway. It was momentarily terrifying like seeing a Transformer. My brain could not compute.
It's been awesome seeing Tasha doing your floralogic videos, I love her music so it's been cool seeing her do even more stuff! Thank you! ♥
Most informative and interesting production! Great job and thank you.
Paddlefish would be super fun to learn more about!
Why not an orchard plant like apples, blueberries, or Cherries.
🌸 Cherry blossoms are so beautiful 🌸
While the info about tumbleweed did not disappoint, the factoid about giant sloths and avocados is going to live in my head the for the long term.
Loving the lighting in this one, also thanks for your excellent work. Always bit especially today, the nephew loves your materials, thanks for your virtual essence.
I love a third of the video being a ad. Then getting an add
The amount of times tumbleweeds almost killed me in Arizona splattering across my windshield, I'm glad they're dead! 🤣...But, I still love that you covered this plant!
Strangest place if seen one was near an on-ramp in the Downtown L.A. area. So random 😅
I live in a town/city in the desert. Every once in a while, after a storm, I'll find a piece of tumbleweed in my front yard. Interesting that they originated in Russia because they really invaded the western USA.
In Albuquerque, NM the Tumbleweedman is put up around the Holidays.
i can watch this series all day
Oh my car...🚗
Scratch noise 🎶
H... smokes 🔥
Funny!!!😂
We would make snowman out of them in Arizona when I was a kid.😂
i live in california in the north in a suburban neighborhood but there is never a day i see at least 15 tumble weeds

Tried to drive through an isolated national monument during COVID- the road was blocked by a mound of tumbleweeds higher than the car!
Did I miss the CGP Grey credits for the numerous shots from his video where he drive among the tumbleweeds?
There's no better videos to actually understand how bad this weed is.
The first time I saw this ,I immediately imagined a tumbleweed rolling across the screen 😂😂
It might be dangerous but that how they rol - All my friends to the rest of the people

Tumbleweeds: KEEP ROLLIN ROLLIN ROLLIN ROLLIN!!!
that thumbnail got me
I grew up in the antelope Valley where it’s either frozen or on fire with wind. Tumbleweeds are everywhere LOL thanks for the article
Hearing about that Plains Tumbleweed made me hungry!
I wouldn't mind if one rolled past and dropped some delicious seeds.
Living in the desert I view them as clowns of the desert. There so funny running around.
DRAMATIC TUMBLEWEED.
Do the kingaju next ,I'm not sure if i spelled it right
The monkey? Kinkajou?
She's gotta be Canadian "kewpawn"
I wonder if they could be turned into pulp for paper or maybe refined for fabrics?
Can't believe they covered my favorite animal
Mother Nature’s dodgeball 🌻💚

Nothing more Hollywood icon than tumbleweed

Crapping avocado seeds is probably what drove giant sloths to extinction
rollin, rollin, rollin
My mate next to me feels like a rolling piece of dry vegetation
The "critter" plant 😁
I love these videos! Can you do a vid on coastal redwoods and sequoias and touch on albino redwoods?
I LOVE tumbleweeds!
They remind me of tribbles from Star Trek. Except that they aren't cuddly, thorny and very flammable.
Could you do an episode on elephant, and it's my birthday on Sunday
Happy Birthday!
