What does op mean?
Vampire bats are the only mammals that can sense body heat in much the same way a snake does. They're also insanely strong for their size, and are the only bats that can run.
Possum?! What RU doing here?! XD
The thought of vampire bat running is about as funny as it is unnerving

Please make an ant tier list, they have lots of cool strategies and species!
This needs to happen

Why do they have so many species. They’re all the fucking same. “Oh look at these ants. They’re both exactly the same except one of them has slightly different antenna. Must be a new species.”

Agreed.

@@scorpionz44 so while the mathematician sub class of humans all the way from the protohistory patch were trying to complete the pi questline using this technique for subdividing hexagons and squares made by another player called Archimedes, a player who joined during the early modern patch called Newton used a backdoor hack called calculus to skip through the entire process and made a new efficient way to grind the questline for xp
@Shyvana_x3 I like alot
Yeah, science explained in a youth friendly way. (That’s not cringe) is very rare.
Every body gangsta until TierZoo says there’s a new balance patch coming to the game.
@Austin Grady Yeah I really think the modding community will really keep the game fun but some players think that’s inhuman or something
@@wet0wl these are the players that play op classes and don't want their reign to end.
@@wet0wl Well, some players did try to manually mod the human class not long ago. They started more subtly by introducing intentional spawn choice selection, which had the intended effect of limiting the presence of higher melanin based players in the north America server from the early 20th century through today. And a couple of decades later, a small tribe of players in the European server applied a more aggressive version of this strategy to a certain faction of religious players to gain more control. Both are techniques to limit power threats by other players by limiting their spawn rates, and are highly unethical play styles. Odd thing is, while the community has called out and banded together to stamp out the latter, no one seems to care about the former which will grief way more players than even the latter. So, we really need to be careful about intentionally modding characters. Some players who are way too into "winning" the game by eliminating other players to gain power instead of letting everyone play by their own play style would misuse it.
Also, player guilds have been warning about a climate-based balance patch for decades but it's mostly just ended up being a way for those guilds to get more site traffic, and I'm not sure why any players keep buying into the hype that never comes.
@Austin Grady nah, humans have just started reverse engineering the code.
Some chinese data miners have started working on some crazy new builds by mixing Human code with Sheep code. No joke, look it up
The bat has become the meta defining build countering the ridiculously OP Humans
That does not ma- oh, oh dear
Viruses appear to be the only hard counter to humans. So much so that humans have harnessed them as weapons against other humans.

@@Cecilia-ky3uw that would nerf the human's stamina for them to function tho, since sleeping is how they regain their ridiculously high stamina.
Me: passes biology tests because in book there's nothing
@@elpanderohabanero2915 Yeah, humans could use their technology skills to maximize time efficiency, and use that time for more sleep and calorie intake, which would provide for far higher intelligence, if speced into.
However, that would require humans to desire mates based off of intelligence; which is currently a deterrent, to humanity's detriment, especially in females, who could use the trait to massive advantage.
I use it for both.
You forgot to state, however that the bat is a really meta defining build - since it is the only thing keeping the insect player base from skyrocketing and taking down almost the entire server.I feel like thats why bats are really important for the current state of the game 💜💜💜
As a resident insect player hater i love bats
There is more to insect "natural control" than bats. They do prey on each other, to begin with. A profusion of birds also participate.
Well if any player base annoys the human mains enough the human mains won't even bother waiting for the devs to ban the insect players, the human mains will do the banning
@@pencilcase8068Yeah, that doesn't always work out. See: bedbugs, cockroaches and rats on city servers. Or, more hilariously, the event in the Australian meta known as _The Great Emu War._
@@GSBarlev don't tempt the human mains into bringing their advanced equipment, they have guns that shoot so fast it's easier to measure the cost of the ammo per minute instead. No matter how meta emus are they can't defend against that. As for the cockroaches and other friends I heard the humans have figured out how to change the code of life forms/build creating new ones. If they are pissed off enough they can create a hyper spreading disease that bans the builds they don't like.
See while most animals perfected the arts of sight, bat's have mastered the art of screaming.

Small correction since the video came up, but micro and mega are no longer the correct terminology for these two classes of bat. They are now Yinpterochiroptera and Yangochiroptera. This is mostly because there were some species of microbat that turned out to be closer related to megabats than any other microbats despite still using echolocation and being insectovorious. Therefore, the micro and mega distinctions are no longer useful or correct.
Another thing to mention about the viability of the Yinpterochiroptera that you also left out that may alter the standings. The first being that beetles (while having better armor) are a major food source for Yinpterochiroptera, so while they might be a good build, they are the prey of these bats. Secondly, their wing structure makes them exceptionally nimble and manueverable in the air, more so than birds would ever be. Third, bat wings are more durable than you may think. Their membranes can heal over time if punctured. Finally, is that while bats are resistant to disease, they are currently highly threatened by fungus players Pseudogymnoascus destructans, which cases a status effect called "White Nose Syndrome". These fungus players attack bats while they are hibernating over the winter, damaging their skin and forcing them to warm up, thus spending their stamina during a time when they need to conserve it. This can lead to almost 90% of colonies being wiped out in a single winter. This is a very serious danger for the player base, and needs to be addressed.

On the pandemic disease scale this is pretty minor. At it's highest lethality it was 1/10, as opposed to Smallpox which was 1/3 with a higher R, and the Plague which capped at 1/2. Smallpox killed 200,000 Europeans on average annually in the Nineteenth Century, and 500,000,000 people in the twentieth.
@@Tvtyrant2 those other diseases may have been better at spreading and infecting, but Corona is still quite a problem because it has spread so much. This has caused it to mutate in different areas, such as the new strain found here in the UK. This makes it much harder to treat because we now need multiple cures for the multiple variations in the disease.
@@Tvtyrant2 There's been what, just over a million deaths so far? In a worldwide population rapidly approaching 8 BILLION? Considering how widespread the virus is that's a pretty small kill count for what's supposed to be the apocalyptic humanity-ending super virus
To put it in perspective, over 600,000 people die of heart disease every year just in the US alone

@@MarmoMossBoll
Many plants and animals need specific conditions to grow. Many plants and animals rely on other organisims for either mutual, commensal, or parasitic symbiosis.

You should really add a sensory stat in addition to the others, like how a player can detect their surroundings. For example, sharks would have a high sensory stat because they can sweep for prey, smell blood, and have okay eyesight, whereas humans have low sensory stats because we only have average sight and low hearing and smell compared to other animals.
perception would be a good name for it
And 5 senses stats

@@sososoweeder No it's like Plague Inc. The virus focuses on how to spread first then it will develop more lethal symptoms in a couple of years.

@Enzo Ian R. Evangelista Dont be so sure. No one knows.
@@GeoZoo-official. He is right to be optimistic. The CDC has already finished 2 vaccines that have been approved by the FDA and are being rolled out,
As a bat PhD, I’d say really nice overview of their natural history. Worth noting that they really dont need defenses as all examples of bat predation are relatively rare. Also, with over 1400 species they are the second most successful group of mammals and probably functionally the most diverse. Also some of the most beneficial animals to have around, consuming tons of insects, pollinating many flowers and dispersing seeds to regenerate tropical rains forests.
Finally, their wings are surprisingly strong and they routinely survive crashes in flight without injury. Punctures also heal over time, so I’d say this weakness is overblown. The heavy weight of their wings is also a unique feature that allows them their extraordinary maneuvering abilities.

@@ogluqqychess4452 that's kills for an entire class, this guys talkin about an individual K/D
@@bernardo8993 it was one bat? Only one singular bat
If you're going to credit the first bat that had covid with all the subsequent covid kills, then you would have to credit the first mosquito that transmitted malaria with all the malaria kills.
I don't know how those stack up against the first rat/flea team that used the Black Death on the humans, though. In relative terms I think they're the winners based on the percentage of the human players that they managed to take out at the time. Covid hasn't made a noticeable dent in the number of active human players, but when the Black Death was part of the meta the human playerbase shrunk by 25%
The fact you used the black ops II menu theme while explaining echolocation cracks me up
We need an “Ant Tier List” because ants have a wide variety of strategies for attack, defense, utility, and nest construction. They also have very large party sizes ranging from 1,000 players and an astonishing 1,000,000,000 players. They respawn very quickly, so it is very difficult to completely eradicate a nest.
Agreed
They have 1 defense and attack
Very invasive however
I second this
trapjaw ants have gone so much into attack that their bite move allows them to jump because of how hard their mouth slams shut
Definetely

Pathogen 🦠 mains really outdid themselves this time.
That's really how the devs have been doing it. Nerf humans by buffing one of their only real remaining counters for a while. Not the best way to nerf them though as the human playerbase often just bounces back.
Not as big as the Black Plague nerf at least
I just want to say, I got a good laugh out of TierZoo calling COVID-19 a "huge nerf to the human playerbase". It's been a source of misery on many levels, but a statement like that adds perspective to it all.
Not to mention the restrictions in travel and basicly everything else dropped most "extra deaths" to such low numbers that 2020 saw the lowest death percentage of any year in history. Well, assuming the lock downs stop and we dont get hundreds of millions of suicides.
Some megabats actually do have a rudimentary echolocation ability, but these are limited to fruit bats in a specific genus (Rousettus)

@@DecafKauffee and being hyperintelligent
Batman just has a great niche in the Gotham City server, the excess of criminals gives him plenty of exp. In any other city server, he wouldn't fit in with human guilds, and would be unable to use his vigilante tactics to their fullest.
He has abyssmal matchup against the dark age of superhero movies tho
He once had an echo fighter called the 'Rorschach' build, which was pretty effective and an absolute S-Tier, specially on his justice level.
Sadly, it had a permaban from some depressed hacker who had pretty much dev. skills in the game (and even played at the Mars biome).

Just an interesting fact: In New Zealand, there are only 2 species of native land mammals which both are bats. They are also the only two bat species on the whole planet who can actually run on land because they barely had any natural enemies (I believe only the New Zealand falcon is it's natural enemy before humans started introducing a lot of possums/weasels, cats, dogs etc).
To be fair to bat mains, birds and bugs have had access to the flight ability for much longer and have had time to adjust their playstyles accordingly.
Also bats seem to monopolize a lot of the nocturnal niches, especially insectivorous ones, that's fully half of the average playthrough!
@Mullerornis They have perks, but also weaknesses.
I love how TierZoo makes it seem like the world is a video game by making everything have stats and such, while at the same time teaching us about the animals in a more fun way than just an educational channel.

Has tierzoo ever done a micro tier list? Like ranking microorganisms as their own set, I think that would be a cool idea, and potentially could shine a light on some of the abilities of microorganisms less known by us in the macro world

Bit late to respond but yeah, the 2020 Q2 "Pandemic Free DLC" wasn't my favorite, arguably the worst meta the game has had in my lifetime. They let its endgame stay active on the server for wayyyyy too long, it would have been alright if it was over by late summer.

The dude called 2020 a series of nerfs at the end, but isn't it more of a World Event? I mean it's not a one-and-done kind of thing, more of a Questline for the Healer factions. I even heard that just after the cure quest item was finally made, a new strain of the illness was found. That has to be the beginning of the second chapter of the story, right?
Nice
Not necessarily, immunity can vary over as the new strain is similar. A new strain won't (probably) be as big a problem as the first
Also, only the strongest builds make it out alive granted most of them get nerfed but they still make it out
The virus will be nerft like the flu so the humans dont ban it with there code
Then we will have the The Islam Uprising event and the the Israel New World Order Event...the worst one..
Tierzoo is so OP that I love watching and listening even when he’s just thanking his sponsors. They’re placed at the end and can easily be ignored (not like with other channels that have to sneak them into the intro and/or the middle), but are still so wonderfully creative that I stay for all of it. I just literally look forward to every second of every video, even spending up to 50% longer than the run time, rewinding often to consume every aspect (the game sounds, kill confirms, etc).

It’d be interesting to not only watch people try to imitate existing animals but potentially make new ones
It's not an mmo, but try spore. It is not nearly as varied in playstyles as this hypothetical Outside game, but it has a similar idea of evolving from a bacteria into an intelligent species.
@@waluigi3515 Yeah spore was sold as that, but didn't play out near 1/10 of what they promised. It does have some fun parts.

I’m waiting for the day that the flying fox mains gather enough points to spec into more size and begin turning on the raptor mains that keep destroying them. Some day we’ll have flying wolf mains
Imagine once we die a character select menu pops up
Dude no joke im not kidding but during my first moments of conciosuness i had a charcter selction screen where i could pick my parents and what i look like. After I was done selecting the scrren zoomed in behind my new bodys head and i was conscious. Legit my first memory is a vidro game screen of character selection. My family thinks its just a daydream but it was my very first memory. I was 5 and sitting in a classroom as an indian in florida after that moment. It was so weird yet so surreal.
My first time playing I chose the rat since I thought that it was funny. I didn't get a chance to move! My mom ate me! Now I play the human and talk in chat with people.
😂😂😂
@@daemonzap1481 tell me more
I've also thought about that. That would be cool xD
0:22 who else thought they accidentally started a chess game
Thats not the start... Its when you checkmate the opponent
@@QRius-ce8qx ik but they're really similar, the start is basically the checkmate but the beats are played backwards
8:00 I didn't know Ladybirds fly like Superman. It's like: \o/
This is literally my favorite channel on YT right now!
So I know you probably won't see this, but as a teen that has previously hated zoology/biology these videos have really helped to open my mind towards these two subjects. You do an excellent job appealing to the younger generation by presenting this subject matter as if it were a video game. I am super interested in animals and living organisms now and god damn you managed to make TREES interesting. You took quite possibly (in my opinion) one of the most boring topics and managed to make me watch a 10 minute video on it. I am now seriously considering getting a degree in zoology (I think I would want to specialize in mammals, but reptiles and amphibians are also cool) because of how much passion I have for this stuff. You are awesome dude, and I am 100% positive you are inspiring a good amount of people to become zoologists when they grow up just like me. You are my favourite youtube channel, keep it up dude.
I completely agree! I already had an interest in zoology and biology, but this gave me motivation to do well in these subjects at school and in extra curricular activities, I'm glad to see that someone else has been affected by this amazing channel, and I hope you do well in these subjects, have a great weak and stay safe!
Thank you for your kind words! Best of luck pursuing your zoology degree, if that is what you end up majoring in :)
@@TierZoo tierzoo can you please do was megaladon op?
Whaddya know! He _did_ see it ^_^
You Go for it bro i hope your name will be in the news for zoology subjects. Breake a leg!
Dude I used to HATE Crobat
Crobat is best flying type
I used to hate Zubat. The amount of times I got jumped by them in caves...
The image of a level 38 golbat wild encounter has been permanently etched in my brain thanks to the HGSS victory road
Also hi Levi nice chess recaps keep em up 😃
But Crobat is when it becomes really cool.
@@XC11301991 Tru dat and from a gameplay standpoint its stats aren't bad either
Don't forget that a high intelligence build can potentially gain the echolocation ability without spending evolution points on it directly by applying their [wisdom] points to the problem.
I also wish to point out how much howls can be a bane to bat players ; due to the owl build special "jagged feathers" to reduces sound, microbat's sonar has a very hard time detecting them (due to it being sound-based, it usually slips off the owl's feathers without bouncing back), which allows howl players to easily sneak up on them at night.
My wife and I just made it to end game this year and our new player(10mo) just started watching your videos today. She is already on her way to making the best builds!
omg that’s really cute hope your new player will become a very recognized one in the future
Tell her that snake builds aren't so bad, they're pretty cool
Don't try to befriend one of us though, trusting them usually doesn't go well

THIS IS AN ACTUAL GAME?????
"Are bats OP?"
Me: *Takes out an aluminum bat and beats a child* "Yes."
lmao
Bruuuu
took me a second to get that
😂
For Baseball yes
For beating zombies up NO
Love your videos and I'd actually love to see a follow up to your dinosaur and prehistoric videos in terms of the aquatic meta of that with creatures like Mosasaur, Lioplerudon, Basilosaurus, Leedsichtys, Dunkleosteous, etc.
5:48 omg did that snake just yawn? That’s so cute
Me: *sees thumbnail* "Enemy spotted"
Video: "Enemy spotted"
Glad we're on the same page
Everyone: Scientists
TierZoo: ＤＡＴＡＭＩＮＥＲＳ
That's technically what they are tho
I thought those are paleontologist
@@KhanhNguyen-mh5ec i think paleontologist is part of Scientist guild
Paleontologists are those guys who do retrospective overviews.
This is the first video I've seen, a friend referred me. This is some great shit. I'm someone who has much more of a biology than gaming background but love me some good gaming memes, what a crossover. Really impressed by the work going into this, and the presentation; I'm definitely going to recommend to more people! Sadly I cannot afford any Patreons at the moment, but you definitely deserve it.
I just discovered your channel. It's awesome!
I'd love to see an episode comparing the best birds of prey builds (owls, eagles, falcons, seagulls, etc)
Or just owls. Owls are pretty OP.
A beetle Tierlist would be awesome, there are so many with a lot of strategies
That'd probably take longer to complete than False Swipe Gaming's ferrothorn review.
John Lennon is a pretty powerful Beatle heard he's super affective against "wife" types
There are so many beetle species, with thousands of different playstyles, you'd need to split it up between scarab beetles, ladybugs, assassin beetles, stink bugs etc.
@@jaschabull2365 we are only a few pokemon away from the ferrothorn review lol. I'm betting right now its gonna take 2 40 mins videos
I approve of this
Scientists: The miracle of evolution, the mystery of the Universe
TierZoo: Evolution points
Just like in Evo: The Search for Eden
Miracle doesnt sound very scientific tho, is not even a mystery
Scientists aint got nothing on gamers farming for EXP in the local spawnpoint.
On a completely unrelated note, does anyone know how to get unbanned from hospitals? The devs aren't replying to my emails.

I really like your unique style of videos, and every time I watch one of these videos I have the urge to play Runescape again :p
I just did a college entomology paper on Grote's bertholdia, the moth that has spec'd into sonar to jam the brown bats. Using your videos as a base, I related how the moth could be developed into a Pokemon so people can learn more about them.
I personally like playing Ants just for the unique RTS gameplay they provide.
Fun Fact! Ants are actually Independent players.
nerf the spawn rate, you keep killing my cooler insect build
@@jacksonl.2201 Taken out of TierZoo context, they're literally a hive mind. How could they possibly be individual players?
@@pierreaoun9600 well this brings up the question of free will, even in ants. Are they individual souls that are all controlled by a single will like a hive mind, or are they are they actually a highly organized insect civilization that has achieved levels of community and communication that we’ll never comprehend?
I like the team based combat of the ant builds
Okay so:
Bats are mammals
Batman: *dresses as a bat*
Does that mean batman's a furry?
Yes
Headcanon Accepted.
Stealing this for twitter clout.
No, he's more equivalent to a catgirl.
@@dianauwu1312 And he dates one, too!
i like using that bat build either way , it has the flying ability and i find that better than the ground mobility , especially the disease carrying ability gives you the poison effect which is great when you put the right xp points in the right skills
4:58 what a good dog.
I don’t know if you’ll see this, but in a previous video you mentioned something about hooves, and it got me thinking- what are the advantages and disadvantages of each appendage (Hands, Paws, Hooves, Claws etc.) and maybe a mini tier list of each? I dunno, I just think it’d be pretty cool!
This sounds super cool! Maybe try posting your comment bellow a newer video, that way he might see it :)
Each appendage’s effectiveness depends on what kind of build your going for, so the tier list may be varied
To be fair, Curiositystream and Tierzoo is a matchup made in heaven.
It's a powerful team composition, glad TierZoo was able to make this observation for the meta
Can we admire how in almost every video he manages to pull off that bo2 music flawlessly💜💜💜
That music is from the greatest game ever, runescape.
No one is gonna talk about how micro bat literally grabs their prey out of the air with their tail flap.
As a bat player, I would like to say that I regret my decision, I am blind and living in a cave,
You see this is why you choose the fruit bat build
You’re lucky, I chose the spider build and died to a bat. Had to reset my game file to become a human instead
@@tootoasted4589 Almost got taken out by a bat again I see. Unleashed a plague while looking for a cure, now looking for a cure to stop the first cure. lol
I know this is a joke but bat's eyesight (even microbats) are really good and some can argue that it's as good as humans. So, to them we are the blind ones since they can see as good as we do but can hear better and navigate better at dark because of their echolocation. I'm surprised that tier zoo didn't brought up this common misconception.
@@formerunsecretarygeneralba9536 dude thanks for the info, I really like bats and birds and think they are super interesting
You’re missing out on some thing pterosaurs used all four of their limbs to fly just like bats who knows maybe in another balance patch we can get bats the size of pterosaurs
there aren't animals as big as dinasours... yet.
The ultrabat
they ded tho
Pterosaurs were lower tier than birds though.
@@Robert399 cause they had different matchups, mostly.
I main humans but sometimes play bat. It's pretty hard. Although people say it's blind it's not it can see but are only awake at night.
2:30 i watched a dozen vids of tierzoo and today suddenly I noticed there is something called evolution points
