    Fun fact: Mosquitos are attracted to particular blood types, which explains why some people get bitten more than others. For example, people with Type O blood are bitten twice as often as people with Type I-submit-topic-suggestions-to-HAI blood. Unrelated, but HAI is accepting topic suggestions.

    Fun fact: giraffes actually *can't* bend their necks in the middle like that because they're mammals, and all mammals have only 7 neck vertebrae. Theirs just evolved to be really long and rigid. Compare this with birds like swans and flamingos who can bend their necks in crazy directions because avians don't have such a small or even set number of neck vertebrae.

      It's not just the vertebrae. They have massive tendons to keep their neck in position; even when they are dead, if you pull it down, it springs back upwards. It is actually hard for them to bend it down for drinking. 🦒

    • @pickles3128
      @pickles3128 3 ปีที่แล้ว +44

      @@sendmorerum8241 You know I swear I read something like giraffes also have special blood valves in their neck that close on major veins/arteries for bending over to drink so that they don't end up passing out after pulling their heads up. (You ever get dizzy from sitting up too fast? Like that but way more exaggerated.) I've also read that's why sauropods couldn't stand on two legs like in that famous Jurassic Park scene for the same reason. Also many species' modern deesigns have them more horizontal, so they just couldn't physically do it, either.

    The giraffe example works perfectly once you realize that a longer neck requires more resources to grow and energy to maintain and has a higher risk of injury. Basically, your giraffes will converge on the shortest neck that allows them to comfortably reach their food supply.

    • @rjfaber1991
      @rjfaber1991 3 ปีที่แล้ว +26

      I actually believe the main reason why giraffes don't have even longer necks is one of blood pressure. Getting blood from the heart to a brain that is increasingly high up requires a very high blood pressure, which in turn requires other organs to be more resistant to it, and it requires some sort of way for the giraffes not to instantly burst their cranial arteries the moment they bend their necks down. Giraffes already have unique adaptations to prevent the latter, but as their necks get longer, the problem gets progressively worse, and there comes a point where it is no longer evolutionarily worthwhile.

      They could have used the real-world example of Galapagos tortoises. They have a long neck and a short neck variant . One island has grasses and the other has bushes. The grassy island has tortoises with shorter necks and a shell that slopes down, the island with bushes has tortoises with longer necks and a shell that doesn't slope down in front as much.

    On another note, a musquito might have helped in finding a muderer. Police in Finland believe they have caught a car thief with the help of a dead mosquito they noticed inside an abandoned vehicle. Police saw that the mosquito had recently sucked blood and decided to send the insect for analysis, and the DNA matched the man on the Police Register.

      If you don't mind I'm gonna make this a copy pasta or something like that and paste it under every comment asking why the comments are turned off for the video(with some credit of course) and btw your smart for figuring that out. I was confused cause there were people calling HAI a communist cause he said "communism isn't that bad" or something like that but I couldn't find any evidence of that and came here and found this genius comment.

    For stabilizing selection. Image that while the long necked giraffe can still reach the smaller trees, they are also more prone to injury due to their long neck, and require more calories to support the increased bulk. There are negatives to having the longer neck that the shorter neck variants don't have to deal with. So there's a selective pressure to have both a next that isn't too short (cant feed easily) or too long (increased injury/resource need), thereby giving an advantage to those in he middle.
