I have been obsessed with giraffes since before I could even speak. So, I'm sure you can understand that I was equally excited to see an okapi at the San Antonio Zoo. Then my roommate gave me a stuffed okapi for Christmas one year. I sleep with it. And... I'm 70 years old and still giraffe obsessed.
At first glance I thought you were talking about "girlfriends...."
😄
Never heard of an okapi before.

My neighbor raised horses.
I went to feed one at the fence a weed I had pulled and he bit ne on top of the head.
Like getting clubbed with a mallet.
I don't mess with horses. I imagine a giraffe doing the same would be like get hit in the head with train falling from the sky.
I thought you were going to start the old joke - although it's supposed to be true.
The first giraffe was brought to the Parisian Zoo. A man came and stared all day, then again the next day, and the next. He finally left but said "I still don't believe it."
What I love about your channel is the huge range of subjects covered.
It’s all history that deserves to be remembered.
i coelecanth believe that fish survived for so long
Ugh
@@woody4077 you're welcome
Bravo sir. Good internetting!
What did the Dried Fish say to the other Dried Fish?
Long time no Sea.
Give a man a fish, and You Will Feed Him for a day.
Teach a man to fish, and he will spend a fortune on gear he will only use twice a year.
😁
The two best days of owning a boat are buying it and selling it.😀.
Why can't you take just one Mormon on your fishing or camping trip, but its ok to take none, or 2 or more?
Because if you only take 1 Mormon he will drink all your beer and smoke all your cigarettes.
@@mr.bianchirider8126 Thats the rule of three F's. if it Flies, Floats, or Fuc#s your better off renting it.
I used to be a Hokie Pokie addict. However, I turned myself around.
I’m just dying to know what the bartender in the cave had to say when those animals walked in.
"Have you herd the one about the four animals?" BTW, at over 35,000 square kilometers or 13,500 square miles, I don't think Hainan Island could be considered "tiny." Now, Ball's Pyramid, an almost cartoonish islet that is taller than it is wide, certainly would be (it has its own lost and found animal story).
History AND animals?! Be still my nerdy heart!
Happened to find this today, and realized that my wife and I had seen a herd of the Per David's deer at the Wilds here in Ohio. Really cool
Anybody else like his videos before watching
Actually I do that with all channels. while waiting for loading. I was going to have a channel once but it turned out to be a lot more work than I thought it would be. So I have a lot of respect for people who actually get a video out. I only hit unlike if there's really something I object to, and then I explain in the comments.
Meeeeeeee
Very poor practice. I dislike videos rather quickly. Especially when the youtuber talks like an idiot but luckily this guy talks just fine
I always do this for channels I like, so I don't forget.
No…..
Reef forming glass sponges were thought to have gone extinct at the end of the Jurassic until they were discovered in Hecate Strait, British Columbia in 1987. They have also been found in coastal Washington and Alaska.
I do not remember how long I have watched your channel, but you continue to... much more than inform or entertain. You educate!!
Always a good morning when the History Guy drops an episode!
Harry Johnson, Looking for a unicorn? Sounds all too familiar to a certain…. Ummm how should I say a similar appendage found on another wild species. How am I to take this “ search” for a unicorn seriously, just saying. 🤔
When I was a lad I remember seeing a Caelocanth in preserving fluid in the Museum of Natural History in Kensington, London. I think it was caught by deep water fishermen in the Indian Ocean in 1938.
WOW! What an awesome story teller! Thank you, sir! I’m so glad that I found your channel.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Good Monday morning History Guy and everyone watching.
You too buddy. Thank you for your service.
Mornin homie! 👊
And to you!
Correction: “Good Mourning” is more correct; mourning the passing of the weekend.
It' 21 o'clock here.
Absolutely fascinating stuff, can you imagine the scientists when they saw that so cool. Thanks HG. Also i checked out the forest giraffe, and they are still with us! Wiki says 5,000 alive
Good morning everybody I’m walking to work while I’m listening to this
Loved it Thanks! 🤜💥🤛
..maybe the Coelacanth uses it fins to walk around on and momentarily anchor itself among rocks against turbulent underwater streams as the top fins have the same muscular bases as the lower fins....
Morning THG
Thank you for a well presented history video. I really enjoyed it, and well done to Duke Bedford, his legacy lives on in saving those animals.
What a terrific complication of "Lost and Found" animals. Thank you, THG.
The state of museums in South Africa is rather depressing. They have destroyed and thrown away so much. I can't get myself to visit them anymore.
The flag in your icon derails the idea of objectivity and veracity in your comment. Apartheid is over. Move on.
Constant tribal warfare tends to guarantee that.
@@brazendesigns Soon South Africa too will be over.
@NautilusSSN571 wow
You should Check Out the book by Christopher kemp on löst species ! All about collected Samples of species that stayed in Museums for years and Sometimes 150 years before being found and described. Really interesting stuff. I would Love some more "Natural History" History Videos hahah
This was great! I wore my History Guy T-shirt as I fled the Iowa flood last week. History that deserves to be remembered. ❤
Dr. Lance Geiger, You're the best. Thanks for helping us to learn "history that deserves to be remembered". Being curious, I looked for your biography in Wikipedia. I found that you are NOT there! Why not? You certainly deserve to be there. and be remembered. Why not, indeed,?. Surely someone, among us. should submit your name and particulars to them. I appeal to all us channel followers. for someone to submit same to Wikipedia.
Megalodon is extinct and just because the coelacanth survived don't mean Megalodon survived...
It's interesting to note that the subtitle of the Darwin book that you zoom in on shows that he is wrong, regardless of Creationism:
The Origin of Species "by means of natural selection."
Natural selection is a real thing, but in strict scientific terms it does not provide the mechanism for the origin of species.
Speciation occurs when there is isolation of relatively small genetic pools within a species, so that there is genetic drift between them, until they are no longer compatible two interbreed.
That rarely has anything to do with natural selection. Natural selection changes how a species looks, it changes its morphology. It does not change its genetic structure, which is what makes a new species.
Chihuahuas and wolves are the same species, even though their morphology is completely different.
But leopards and jaguars, despite looking nearly identical by comparison, are vastly different species. It is their genetic structure, not natural selection, that determines this.
Last line of video was basically "Truth is stranger than fiction". Indeed!
Anyone else wonder what a coelacanth fish stick would taste like?
This guy and his videos are really cool but what I want to know does anybody else think he sounds like Paul Harvey
I was kinda hoping for a bigger list of animals, given how the video is 40+ minutes long, but I'm not disappointed. 👍🏻
Excellent episode, thank you for sharing. Also enjoyed the earlier video on the Duke of Bedshires adversities trying everything he could to keep the flock of these deer alive throughout the fighting on the content. Amazing stuff, bless these people.
14:56 Awesome! In the coelacanth segment I was waiting for a reference to _The Creature from the Black Lagoon_ and you delivered. 👏 I’m a long-time science fiction fan and that relationship between the movie and the discovery of the coelacanth is well-known among fans but I don’t think many non fans know this. Anyway, I think it’s a cool example of how these types of events affect popular culture.
"Mr. Livingston I presume?"
I believe, and I could be mistaken, but I think there are some Pere David deer in Bandera Tx.
To Westerners, all Chinese deer look alike.
50 million years and still basically the same fish. The Coelacanthe is evolutionary slacker. It should be ashamed of itself.
Then you must think Sharks are REALLY lazy! lol
lemme guess! that fossil fish did NOT! taste very good... o/w we d have canned Coelacanth, like tuna!
G'day, I have to ask is that a Aussie slouch hat in the background? Also thanks for the video.
Yes- a gift from a viewer.
A very good programme very well presented
Young earth here any other God fearing Bible believing Christians on here.😊
Present!
I always thought the Coelacanth was cute.
We catch mud puppies and Meriah which are half fish with legs
I bet they taste like chicken, right? 😜
From Brazil, very nice
@@rodrigopropp2214 I visited Rio in 1993 while deployed on USS Whidbey Island LSD 41. Fun place
I live in Australia and I dream the thylacine is still alive in Tasmania. There have even been sightings on the mainland.
I would not rule it out!
I do not understand why Johnston was looking for horse hoofprints. Unicorns have ALWAYS traditionally been described as cloven hooved. If you look at the British or Scottish coat of arms, the animal depicted resembles a goat more than a horse. Hainan is NOT a tiny island, but a very large one, at 12,700 square miles.
Doing what I can, doing my part for the algorithm Magic
However, the species was placed in its own subfamily Okapiinae, by Swedish palaeontologist Birger Bohlin in 1926 and may I brag a bit my Grandfather
Saying ,Events in human history is being very nice about it. You should really say Man made Extinctions or Extinctions caused by Mankind. How many Species have we already driven to extinction? The bigger question is, "How many more will we cause?".
Welp, I guess those rooftop units will have to wait a bit now…..
Interesting.
I absolutely love your TH-cam. But I think you left out a few things in this one. Darwin did not originate the evolution theory. He even says so himself. He only added the corollary "survival of the fittest". Yet he is remembered for someone else's work, just like Marconi, who stole the wireless transceiver (radio) from Tesla. I still live your show. You are, in my humble opinion, making the country a smarter place. Thank you!!!
The vast majority of natural history is long gone, only hinted at in the sediment layers, and our story only goes back 3-4 thousand years. It's likely there aren't any obvious features above ground from before 10 000 years that will add to our history considering the dustruction of the northern hemisphere during the last ice age. Still, its a pretty good story.
I am a fan and follower of your channel. I've watched many of your videos and have never come across one that I didn't like. However I have one minor complaint which is your pronunciation of "species." Although
- seez is listed in some dictionaries,
- sheez is the version preferred by far. I find
- seez very irritating.
I'm pretty sure unicorns are just Asian rhinoceroses, and they always were. Medieval Europeans knew of them through the Bible, which did not go into explicit detail. But it was an animal with one horn, or in one passage, two horns--an African rhino.
I hope that science will rediscover the “thylacine”… also known as the Tasmanian Tiger. Tragically, this beautiful marsupial became extinct at the hands of humans in 1936. There are a few folks searching remote areas of Tasmania in search of that amazing animal.
Just found this channel. I'll be back, he sounds like he would find many things to be "inconceivable."
I hear they taste like bass.
Naaa chicken
I thought Sarcopterygii was pronounced Sarco-teri-ghee-eye, since the p is silent in "ptero" as in "Pterodactyl". Is this not true? Or does this change when it's in the middle of a name?
I didn't know Okapi still existed. I was told in elementary school (50 years ago) that it had gone extinct. I'm glad it didn't.
Now let's find some living trilobites!! You can't prove they don't exist!
A wholly(holy) different animal. This man's unflinching puns are a national treasure.
History Guy has a warm engaging style. Sorta poking fun at the stereotype with a bow tie. So many good history shows now. But I come back to HG, he got me interested first!
Good old Gombessa, known to Comoran fishermen forever, new to formal science in 1938.
This (story of coelacanth) makes one think: what evils the chinese traditional medicine has NOT done? I can't think of any.
WHT would any "Darwinist" want to stop any creature's extinction?
Thanks for the inspirations to my #TimelineOfMankind project (what where when, all time)
I believe in intelligent design for sure, but only to the basics of physics….everything else evolved from that…there definitely is god and he made us like him in being curious and creative.
So-called modern man didn't know about the giant rays living right under their feet at the bottom of a river either, not until they were "discovered" in "modern" times.
Something that makes a lot of sense to me is to not put limits on God. Why wouldn't he use evolution to design the creation of life on Earth? I think a lot of damage has been done by taking the bible, a book full of oral traditional styles and edited material, too literally.
Only thing that griped me was the Australian rising sun on the right hand side of the Australian slouth hat in the background. Was it just backward or meant to trigger Australians.
How do they know that they "evolved" into two species when they only have fossils. Most likely they are adaptations as in the Galapagos Island animals.
This doesn't prove anything!!! It only proves that this fish comes boney style .
Heya! Good morning! 👋🏽 😊
Good on you, man, for spreading education. A less dumb society is a better society.
Back in the Saddle Again Naturally
They taste like Macrol
We have lungfish in the Brisbane River in Queensland Australia.
When were walking catfish discovered?
A 20 foot Coelacanth would be scary to swim with.
Well done sir!! A triumph!!

I noticed this naturalist has the last name Agassi, could he be an ancestor of Andre Agassi?
Dam Chinese and their quest for immortality.
Greetings from the BIG SKY of Montana .
I remember a horror movie that had something to do with Coelacanth plasma !
Agassiz’ opinion of ‘no proof of change’ is still true.
9th rarest quadruped or is it an ungulate hmm okapi wow
20 ft fish? Survived on the deck for a couple of hours?
Testimony to the idea that things may be different from what we know.
Thank you History Guy
None of them can say I just don't know. So sad.
Ok now I have to find the zoos that have some of these animals so I can see em in person
Not much cooler than actual Lazarus Taxa.
It would be interesting if the Caribbean Monk Seal was rediscovered.
A lot of people thought that the Javan Rhinoceros was gone. But they found a small group almost by accident.
Turns out they're quick to flee. And that's what saved them from complete extinction.
Makes you wonder what kind of catfish variants (or other taxons!) were noodled and/or buried into oblivion in the Mississippi and the filled marshlands - and, for that matter, any other estuarial waters on the east coast US. (I'm looking at you, meadowlands! 👀)
It’s so sad that they casually let the creature die on the deck-humans are generally unconscious
It was 5 feet long and weighed 150 pounds, The video made clear it was too big for live storage onboard.
Why was the guy who wanted to exhibit the pygmy "people" arrested? I don't see the issue
For kidnapping…
Why did you put "people" in quotes? Do you not believe them to be people? Do you actually not see an issue with abducting people and displaying them like zoological exhibits?
@@notahotshot to ensure people understand my comment was satire and reflecting how not insignificant amounts of people actually thought
@@TheHistoryGuyChannel I know. it was a comment designed as satire to reflect how some people actually thought. That someone 150 years ago wanted to put people in a zoo is a truth is stranger than fiction moment. That's why I put people in quotes. To make it obviously absurd to lean into the satire
@@nickdarr7328
"To ensure people understand my comment was satire."
"To make it obviously absurd."
Clearly, the satirical nature of your comment was not clear. Perhaps it would have been more clear if you had couched your entire comment as a quote from the man who had been arrested, or one of his contemporaries.
Thank you for clearing it up.
❤👍🤟
I could have sworn you had an episode on the discovery of the gorilla, but I’m not seeing it. Am I just imagining it?
Thanks for another great episode. I'm especially glad to see you branching out, albeit in a small way, to Asian and African history. I hope to see more of that in the future.
Johnston was a premiere researcher. I appreciate how meticulous his expitions were during a time when it was rather easy to draw an incorrect conclusion.
