This video discusses the history of frog pregnancy tests and chytrid fungus. Before at-home pregnancy tests existed, people used frogs to determine if they were pregnant. The use of frog pregnancy tests had incredibly terrible consequences for amphibians around the world. When these frogs were eventually released from their labs, they spread a deadly fungus, called "chytrid fungus" or Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, across every continent. This caused amphibian populations to plummet across the world and many amphibians went extinct entirely. In telling this story, this video answers the following questions:
How were frogs used as pregnancy tests?
Were frogs used as pregnancy tests?
What is chytrid fungus?
How bad is chytrid fungus?
How did chytrid fungus spread?
How does chytrid fungus affect amphibians?

I was trying to figure out why my brain loves all the little background noises you do so much and it came to me… it reminds me of cartoons/kids shows, just brings a lil nostalgia😌
Same, I love all the little dings and bells it just tickles my brain ❤
I swear this is the same soundtrack as Mr. Rogers’ Picture in Picture segments showing how things were made. And that was, in fact, very much my shit.
Maybe you are right.
I DONT LIKE THEM PIANO DINGS THEY DRIVE ME BANANAS GIRL. IM GLAD ONE OF US LIKE THEM. 🙌🏿
"Frog Pregnancy Tests"
me: "Frog what?"
When I clicked this I thought it would talk about how to test a frog being pregnant 😂
@@nolanclarke8589 if a man injected his pee, the frog will be!
I thought the same😭
@@nolanclarke8589 me too-
frog version of simian flu
Frog Pregnancy Tests is not a list of word i'd see next to each other
😂ever
What u been doing to that frog cuz?
“What are you doing?”
“injecting pee into a frog”
Human being human...
Killing everything.
The pharmacist after seeing him buy a pregnancy test and saying its for a video 😂😂
What an interesting video! Thank you! Could you cover the invasive bat fungus that gives them a santa beard?
Interesting
i knew about this for a while. been waiting to see a video like this, you did really well brother!
Bro, finally posted
True

Bro is so right

Bro youre amazing.no need for asmr when you're around,i can learn while feeling relaxed.
YAY!! I'M SO EXCITED TO SEE NEW CONTENT FROM YOU!❤❤❤ I have to hit that bell again, TH-cam un-clicked it on me.
Thanks so much! This was fantastic, I had no idea. This was a thing. Subscribed for sure
0:20 Finally, Jarate
I really love how he uses the little calming background noises, it makes me feel like a kid again 😇
(Btw, congrats on the marriage! 🎉)
He said he took a break to get married, but that's a good one! 😂
What is your favorite frog or your weirdest frog? 🐸
Bro talking about mass extincion and injecting random people's piss into frogs with a smile on his face and bell jingles like this is blues clues
Think it’s called a bot fly and I saw a video about it when I was younger and have always had a fear of mosquitos since.
passive dramatic format ❤
How to post calm videos like this
how do you get frog urine?
Putting pee into a 🐸?! That is ABSOLUTELY disgusting!
Thats why poison dart frogs went nearly extinct
How does getting injected with urine not hurt them?
Earliest ive been to a vid
This was such a somber episode
*THAT* KICKED OFF CHYTRID!?!?
Why are we so awful to frogs. Killing frogs with other frogs, putting chemicals in the water to make them sterile...
Why in the Philippines too?
Does somebody have an announcement?🎉
Yooo congrats on getting married dude!!!
I would a blob frog see rhymes, i like that ❤❤❤.
Take That Amphibians Hahahahaha I'm not A Bsaurus I'm an Acrocanthosaurus
*Learns about amphibian mass extinction* oh, that warm and safe Biology Mr Rogers feeling is gone 😟
I love your videos
make about mantis
Bro like the rattlesnake video literally fucked me up and i haven’t even played this video
your voice is so soothing even when talking about frogs and pee
This is so interesting, but makes me feel so bad listening to it
My grandmother never worked in a piss-injecting frog factory.
Wow poor frogs
Is this true??? So sad poor frogs
What if male pee is into frog's body
Jus curious
Claude frog
Me saved a jellyfish:)
I'm curious about how the pee actually makes them lay eggs🤔
Yeh me to
...
"That's a title"
1:47
1:47 1:47
So if it’s a male frog and they inject that urine-and the male frog lays eggs is he gay?
2 minutes early
Joke's on you. I know everything there is to know about frog pregnancy tests.
As _all_ good citizens should. 😠
...also, what?
Hiiiiii
What I really want to know is how they discovered that frogs could be used for that
The hormones blah blah woman stuff
@@eyeTHC wait till you find out how Viagra was made
@@eyeTHC My brother in christ what?
@@jessiehernandez1624 the hormones blah blah woman stuff
@eyethc Facts
"everything you didn't know about frog pregnancy tests"
that... that would be everything...
Brought to my mind the episode from M*A*S*H, when Hawkeye used one of Radar's rabbits for a pregnancy test for Margaret Houlihan.
If i had a kid i would totally have them watching your channel instead of cocomelon 😂
My five year old loves these videos!
Yep urain😂😂😂😂😂😂 is learning!!!!!😂😂😂
My daughter will 100% be watching him when she's old enough
So in other words, the frog extinction wouldn’t happened if us human either 1: import them back to their homeland and release them or 2: Put them down since they’re considered invasive species to the other lands.
Unfortunately, our understanding of the ecological world was not as advanced as it is today. There are countless examples of introductions (both intentional and unintentional) across the planet having unforeseen impacts on their environment.
@@CormacHolland exactly. if humans in the past knew about conservations, we probably would’ve still be able to see live Dodos today.
I mean it's just easier and cheaper to let them go into the wild outside then ship them back in numbers which would have probably also had negative effects (tho not globally)
That's the problem with making things about profit instead of about the whole world for progress
Bro finally remembered his yt password
He is active on tiktok a lot.
SWEAR to god if this is a thing like first or bro fell off im gonna commit felonies
I mean, he could be busy on his job outside youtube, just let him take his time
This type of comment is the type of lack of appreciation that leads to creator burnout and then to stop creating. Do better.
@@Lapavlaoh I didn’t know. Good 👍
Here I am, a herpetologist, screaming “THE CHYTRID FUNGUS” at my screen at 6:16
Can I get my medal now? because I’m in massive college debt and I need something to show for it.
🏆 Here man just take it. You deserve it more than me🤦🏾♀️
My Grandma used to be a nurse, and told me about using frogs for pregnancy tests. Pretty strange procedure.
But how the frog gets pregnant by injecting urine?
Explain if you know.
"Mom last time I pee to a frog and it's laying egg💀"
Girls do the sexiest things.
3:41 actually bullfrogs seem to be immune to the fungus the only reason I know about this stuff is cuz I’m into Recently extinct species
Very cool! :D
Oh, wow. That frog 1:52 is 70 years old!?
Science is incredible.
Why does the frog look so goofy lmao
To lull you into a false sense of security. Not only do they have fungus but they're vicious. If you have them in an aquarium, they'll eat all the other animals in the tank.
dawg i do not think my grandmother did this 💀
So basically, we released frog plague 😢
Another story of humans thinking they know what they are doing and destroying nature and the beautiful variety of animals in it. 😢
In the end, we will end up in a desolate, barren world devoid of any diversity in its flaura and fauna, devoid of everything that once made it beautiful and most importantly devoid of all the qualities that made it livable for us and that will be the price for our hubris. The saddest thing is that we will deserve it too.😢
Your username being hopeless is really appropriate 😅 As an environmental science major, I do NOT believe that we can completely destroy the world and make it barren. We can certainly be very destructive and wipe out biodiversity, but many animals have been shown to be surprisingly adaptable. For example, the wildlife populations in Chernobyl!
i dont get it when people talk about humans that destroy the nature like they are some kind of aliens. What about you know, any other specie that alter ecosystem for they needs?
You vastly overestimate the ability of humans, this planet has had life on it for billions of years and faced far harder hardships then what we could ever imagine. We most certainly won’t outlast Earth it’s billions of years older then we can fathom and had life on it even longer then that. We’re not that special.
I had no idea thats how chytrid originally began spreading... i need to research this more. Insane
Isn’t it crazy?! I studied herpetology in college... it really adds an extra heaping layer of misanthropy to your day.
The Good news is, there’s some hope. If herpetologists act quickly enough, many amphibians can breed in captivity and eventually be reintroduced, and there are many studies being conducted to help find an ecologically safe solution.
Look into the Golden Panamanian Frog, though.
I wanted to get a tattoo of one, because to me they represent overcoming adversity, against all odds. When I saw some in an exhibit at the Atlanta zoo, I am not exaggerating when I say that I cried- because it meant that the population that the team collected were successfully breeding.
Congratulations on getting married!! We may have missed you but the excitement of your marriage outweighs any sadness we had! Im so glad you took time off to focus on yalls new path in life instead of worrying about making videos. Happy to have you back! I wish the both of you a long and happy marriage! ❤
frog pregnancy test is probably a combination of words that you could pull out of a hat
Good to see you back
Frogs are cute but i will not be doing that 🤢
Doing what
Another human-made disaster 😮💨 Watching this while eating KFC was great! Please continue these type of videos. As a scientist, I love them!
What time zone are you in ? lol
@@stormyweather9038 Hey! French one, why?
FINALLY IVE BEEN WAITING FOR SO LONG FOR A VIDEO
Thank you for always Teaching us Beauty of Nature 🐀🐊🐋🐒🐥🐆❤️🙏

@@immortalirxhow,I clicked this video at 8 sec after uploading
Just noticed in this video you have a wedding ring on and previous videos you do not. If you just got married, congratulations!
I wasn’t expecting be watching this first thing in the morning, but here I am 😅
5:17 this guy did _not_ just show me exact minifigure pieces and Iwako erasers I have collected. I feel like I just stepped into the family run toy store down the street.
3:00 swab the claude frog
Please do Rabbit pregnancy tests next 🎉
I was going to say the same thing. They quit using rabbits because they had to kill them and look at the overlies under the microscope. Remember the M.A.S.H. episode when Margret though she was pregnant and Radar didn't want them to kill his rabbit. And Hawkeye did surgery to remove it's overies?
I almost cried I LOVE FROGGERS AND TOADS!!!!!!!💗💗💗💗💗💗
I'd like to know a bit more about how that pregnancy test worked.
My mom told me that when she went to her doctor for a pregnancy test, the nurse called back a few days later & told her “the rabbit died” to confirm she was pregnant. Mom said they didn’t use rabbits to test any more but it was just habit. This was late 1970’s.
Was that really a thing and, if so, how did that work?
Love how interesting the ecosystem i. At first I thought you were going to say that the frogs were having babies Humans out here in the wild. When you look at their hands they look like humans I would not doubt it great video
How is that remotely biologically plausible?????
Finally bro uploaded 😄😄😄😄😄😄
Whas this the cause of the Golden frogs (Incilius periglenes)?
First
I am waiting for a long time
Why do your arrows have finger prints??
Nah wait so did this make a human frog hybrid
Not me😳
Why do you randomly have a jar of urine
Damn you invasives!!!
Burger King foot lettuce
Frog: i'm a salamanxer, you picked the wrong one, let meee gooo!!!
Poor frogs :(
ODD6
4:30 you could call it a mass extinction
hi odd animal specimens
I'm so hyped
