Madrigal is correct. I main Argentine ants/yellow crazy ants, and it is an RTS style play. You can co-operate with other ant players, however if you unlock the super-colony ability. Then you and any other players involved in the super colony make decisions together. As you up the skills on the super-colony branch, you go from the weakest version: Polygynous. to the biggest: Global Supercolony. There are tons of little tiers in between that you have to unlock to make your conglomerate bigger. When you unlock these abilities, you have to make sacrifices to your individuals: loosing size, loosing unit specialization, etc. You can also opt to go a more primitive route and unlock gamergates, which allow any individual in your colony to become the reproductive which allows your colony game time to drastically increase as long as you have resources. Or, you can stick with the basics of ants and unlock a quirk like making nests out of leaves or burrowing in wood, either living (turtle ants) or dead (carpenter ants). You could even basically put a space-suit on to survive heat stroke in the Sahara desert. Ants are ridiculously diverse in the ways you can play them with data miners having documented well over 12,000 unique ones. I haven't even gotten started on wasps and bees yet.

for those wondering, essentially the "dive reflex" is accomplished by submerging face-down into cold water, and remaining calm almost like trying to sleep. My second year human physiology professor taught us it was discovered when they found that people who got knocked out after flipping their kayak or canoe, I can't remember which, would seem to be able to survive longer before rescue than what would be expected, and after that some scientist funded a study regarding it with methods similar to what is shown in this video. I never knew that it was an evolutionary trait that is shared with mammals. Really cool information, tierzoo, thanks again
My high school Physiology teacher had the entire class hold their breath for 2 minutes face down in cold water. A lot of people struggled at first but it was surprisingly easy.
One other trick is to dive right after taking a long nap. Spending time with a slower metabolism and taking rhythmic breaths helps prep the body with plenty of oxygen. It's definitely an experience to try out!

alex perry only whale with intimidation is the killer whale which is technically a dolphin the only reason humans fear whales when whale watching is because of the "scaredy cat" debuff we have that makes us fearful of everything
alex perry max level whale players are hardly ever attacked but their low level players are griefed by killer whales so much so the whales have to move to easier servers where they can't gain exp just to get the younger players hp and stamina levels to a point where they can outrun orcas
Leopard seals should be placed in A tier IMHO, they're the only other seal subclass that has enough specs into power that they can have a kind of non agression pact/ truce with the kings of the oceans, the orcas, since their bite attack applies a very strong cripple and bleed debuff, and because of their brutal flexibility and agility stat, even if an orca player manages to score a hit on their tail, they are still able to retaliate with a potential game ending attack, either crippling one of their finns or applying such a deep bleed debuff on their head that it's basically an unviable strat to attack them in the first place. That gives them practical free reign to infinitely grief penguin players, or even new seal player from other subclasses.

While pinnipeds are some of bears closest relatives, they are not bears themselves and instead share a common ancestor. And many genetic studies actually point to the mustelids (skunks, weasels, raccoons, and a lot of other animals) being the pinnipeds closest living relatives.
Always interesting to see how those on the Milky Way Server Cluster play. The players on the Earth servers are by far the most interesting of all. So much so, that many players on the Andromeda Server Cluster have tried to use our character creation trees to create our own human builds. For example, planetary server set I use has managed to create something like humans. Something similar enough we consider it human. We had to build it from scratch, so it has no ancestors, really (kinda hard to create a human-type build without primates to build off of on the servers that make up your planet) We had to spec into some really odd things to get a human build to be viable. I mean, there are multiple ocean servers, a lava ocean server, 9 continent servers, and practically every other player type had some broken ability as a "hyper-hostile planet" bonus. I think the devs were drunk when they programmed the planet I play on. So, since we wanted to create a human of our own that could survive on these servers where everything wants to kill you, we first had to waste points to spec into 50% larger lungs due to the thicker atmosphere and greater gravity than the Earth servers, then another waste of points to spec into six-chambered hearts to counter gravity again with more force, and after we got out stats similar to homo sapiens, what bonus did it randomly generate for our troubles? "Delayed Adaptation: once enough of your guild's members have been slain by other players, the Devs will personally code in a bonus for your guild based on the percentage of your players that were killed. The Devs must be contacted first for the Devs to code your new ability." So many raged at that, that only two human mains actually joined the planetary super server. The game called us _"novis hominibus sapiens",_ or "strange wise man ". But, after so many respawns and trial and error, we finally had the chance to stake our claim on the surrounding region. We were going to do what Earth Human mains did and build a settlement. it was crude, but it was our own, we started spreading across the super server, but then, the other players grew restless, they knew how Earth Human mains rose to dominance, and they didn't want to give us the chance. So many Human mains rage quit our Super Server altogether, many saying they were going to play as humans on the Earth servers, we tried to fight back, but after losing 90% of our population, we begged the Devs to honor that trait they gave us and do something with it. The devs were actually happy someone had rolled that trait, as they'd been waiting to test a new system on our Super Server, a system that would be broken on most servers, but on ours, might just let us survive and not get patched out. They implemented the "Magic Patch" to our Super Server only, dividing us by family lines into twenty-three groups: 22 each bound to one element type, while two lines, the ones who contacted the devs and the one who kept trying to get everyone to not give up, all elements to control. Why are there 22? We don't really know. Some seem like they could be combined into one element, and the names for some of them are weird. But, that's what brought us back from the edge of destruction. We had some Unification Wars later, and now we're a unified force. The Devs aren't very happy about how we created a "Royal Republic" over one planet and try to cause rebellions by NPCs, but most of all, they hate how we managed to research FTL and have started crossing over to other Planetary Super Servers in the Andromeda Server Cluster. But, I've been wondering, as the guide has almost no info outside the Earth planetary Super Server, what even are our stats? At least an estimate? BTW: Our class changed to _"homo sapiens magicae",_ or "magic wise man" after the patch. We might be able to cross to the Earth planetary Super Server and see if we could improve the human mains even further! (Unless the Devs ban those who try).
@@bivcbmtgstgtssscqcrddgtrsm2257 We've made it to the Earth planetary Super Server, but the devs issued a warning to human mains from our server: any action involving the Earth Super Server that isn't simple observation will result in a ban and a rollback to undo our influence. Which is a shame, because we wanted to help the Earth Humans along in their tech tree to match our own standing.

Arguably, you may have learned more today from watching this video. Make sure to show this video to your science teacher. As usual, it's supereffective.
@@thesloth5697 Cryptids and mythical creatures are two different things. A cryptid is a creature whose existence or lack thereof is unconfirmed. A mythical creature is something from legends or folklore that most likely does not actually exist.
Just a small correction: You claim that the only build powerful enough to take on the elephant seal is the Great White, but Orcas also regularly hunt them.
I suppose it's pointless to talk about builds that nobody plays anymore, but not so long ago there used to be a build called Caribbean monk seal. They used to play in warm sea servers, so they dropped the blubber for better mobility. Sadly, human mains harassed their player base into extinction.
This video kept me thinking about the Giant Otter build. They also divided their evolution points in water and land capabilities, but since they are river-based they don't suffer the same predators such as sharks and orcas. They might have some disadvantages to crocodiles, but they have the cooperation between players, an OP move according to you. Do you think they deserve a NERF?
It would be interesting to go over some of the quick dying, but fast breeding builds, like the fruit flies constantly flying into my face in my room right now. You might think that they're low tier since they die half the time just from landing in the food that they find... But their reproductive capabilities are plain impressive. Overall I think builds that have short and fragile lifespans get a bad wrap even though so many are staples in the meta.
Could you make a video about the evolution of walrus? Those animals are fascinating and are in the top of the antartic meta. How did they evolve up to this point?

alex perry max level whale players are hardly ever attacked but their low level players are griefed by killer whales so much so the whales have to move to easier servers where they can't gain exp just to get the younger players hp and stamina levels to a point where they can outrun orcas

Yeah, orca players that specialize in killing fellow mammal builds usually take on the younger players.

Leopard seals should be placed in A tier IMHO, they're the only other seal subclass that has enough specs into power that they can have a kind of non agression pact/ truce with the kings of the oceans, the orcas, since their bite attack applies a very strong cripple and bleed debuff, and because of their brutal flexibility and agility stat, even if an orca player manages to score a hit on their tail, they are still able to retaliate with a potential game ending attack, either crippling one of their finns or applying such a deep bleed debuff on their head that it's basically an unviable strat to attack them in the first place. That gives them practical free reign to infinitely grief penguin players, or even new seal player from other subclasses.
An episode on squirrels with idubbbz? I think this should happen soooon. I saw he commented on a previous video

Dang that player at the beginning is so good at intimidation that even DM was scared and said “I hate you.”

They don't have an ion.

While pinnipeds are some of bears closest relatives, they are not bears themselves and instead share a common ancestor. And many genetic studies actually point to the mustelids (skunks, weasels, raccoons, and a lot of other animals) being the pinnipeds closest living relatives.

Always interesting to see how those on the Milky Way Server Cluster play. The players on the Earth servers are by far the most interesting of all. So much so, that many players on the Andromeda Server Cluster have tried to use our character creation trees to create our own human builds.
For example, planetary server set I use has managed to create something like humans. Something similar enough we consider it human. We had to build it from scratch, so it has no ancestors, really (kinda hard to create a human-type build without primates to build off of on the servers that make up your planet) We had to spec into some really odd things to get a human build to be viable. I mean, there are multiple ocean servers, a lava ocean server, 9 continent servers, and practically every other player type had some broken ability as a "hyper-hostile planet" bonus. I think the devs were drunk when they programmed the planet I play on. So, since we wanted to create a human of our own that could survive on these servers where everything wants to kill you, we first had to waste points to spec into 50% larger lungs due to the thicker atmosphere and greater gravity than the Earth servers, then another waste of points to spec into six-chambered hearts to counter gravity again with more force, and after we got out stats similar to homo sapiens, what bonus did it randomly generate for our troubles? "Delayed Adaptation: once enough of your guild's members have been slain by other players, the Devs will personally code in a bonus for your guild based on the percentage of your players that were killed. The Devs must be contacted first for the Devs to code your new ability." So many raged at that, that only two human mains actually joined the planetary super server. The game called us _"novis hominibus sapiens",_ or "strange wise man ". But, after so many respawns and trial and error, we finally had the chance to stake our claim on the surrounding region. We were going to do what Earth Human mains did and build a settlement. it was crude, but it was our own, we started spreading across the super server, but then, the other players grew restless, they knew how Earth Human mains rose to dominance, and they didn't want to give us the chance. So many Human mains rage quit our Super Server altogether, many saying they were going to play as humans on the Earth servers, we tried to fight back, but after losing 90% of our population, we begged the Devs to honor that trait they gave us and do something with it. The devs were actually happy someone had rolled that trait, as they'd been waiting to test a new system on our Super Server, a system that would be broken on most servers, but on ours, might just let us survive and not get patched out. They implemented the "Magic Patch" to our Super Server only, dividing us by family lines into twenty-three groups: 22 each bound to one element type, while two lines, the ones who contacted the devs and the one who kept trying to get everyone to not give up, all elements to control. Why are there 22? We don't really know. Some seem like they could be combined into one element, and the names for some of them are weird. But, that's what brought us back from the edge of destruction. We had some Unification Wars later, and now we're a unified force. The Devs aren't very happy about how we created a "Royal Republic" over one planet and try to cause rebellions by NPCs, but most of all, they hate how we managed to research FTL and have started crossing over to other Planetary Super Servers in the Andromeda Server Cluster. But, I've been wondering, as the guide has almost no info outside the Earth planetary Super Server, what even are our stats? At least an estimate? BTW: Our class changed to _"homo sapiens magicae",_ or "magic wise man" after the patch. We might be able to cross to the Earth planetary Super Server and see if we could improve the human mains even further! (Unless the Devs ban those who try).
underappreciated comment here
So, how has that been going?
@@bivcbmtgstgtssscqcrddgtrsm2257 We've made it to the Earth planetary Super Server, but the devs issued a warning to human mains from our server: any action involving the Earth Super Server that isn't simple observation will result in a ban and a rollback to undo our influence. Which is a shame, because we wanted to help the Earth Humans along in their tech tree to match our own standing.
@@DolphyBlueDrake I'm sorry about that. We could really use your help.

Is it weird that I just clicked out a video that was also sponsored by skillshare to watch you video.
No, if something has ANY educational value, skillshare is all over it. Must be a profitable business, considering how many youtubers they sponsor
Well it's actually a 7-year old video that TH-cam recommended it for me.
I think it’s time for an Apoidea Tier List (Bees; Wasps, Hornets, etc)
They consistently rank top tier on every list, but we’ve yet to have a video explaining their placing.
Aves I feel the Flight, Eusocial and Swarm traits added to their venomous stings are big reason why they are high tier.
Sea Lions are better cause Lions go "roar" and seals only get seal of approval
Why no one still has not made TierZoo Game?!?! every single TierZoo fan would play that

Just a small correction: You claim that the only build powerful enough to take on the elephant seal is the Great White, but Orcas also regularly hunt them.
Orcas can take on great whites, & have done, so if a creature can take on a great white, they can take on an Elephant Seal

They used to call them "sea leopards" which makes way more sense. It's how we used to call sharks "sea dogs". Way better names.
As always tierzoo you never disappoint. Love your content man
I suppose it's pointless to talk about builds that nobody plays anymore, but not so long ago there used to be a build called Caribbean monk seal. They used to play in warm sea servers, so they dropped the blubber for better mobility. Sadly, human mains harassed their player base into extinction.

Great vid. Would love to see an episode dedicated to orcas
619predator1 Or Dolphins in general
This video kept me thinking about the Giant Otter build. They also divided their evolution points in water and land capabilities, but since they are river-based they don't suffer the same predators such as sharks and orcas. They might have some disadvantages to crocodiles, but they have the cooperation between players, an OP move according to you. Do you think they deserve a NERF?
Can you do a video about protecting noobs?
Honestly, that's a pretty darn good idea.
It would be interesting to go over some of the quick dying, but fast breeding builds, like the fruit flies constantly flying into my face in my room right now.
You might think that they're low tier since they die half the time just from landing in the food that they find... But their reproductive capabilities are plain impressive. Overall I think builds that have short and fragile lifespans get a bad wrap even though so many are staples in the meta.
*Make Pikachu Libre A Girl*
Nice little easter egg, but did you know Pikachu Libre is a girl?
