Iguana goes back: Guys, you won't believe what happened! I was caught by some aliens a while back. They laid me down on a stiff cold plate and shot some weird energy thru my body! Luckily I was able to get off by playing dead.
The fact that the Mosasaur was indeed an aquatic lizard and it falls under the Squamata clade... I really hope these Iguana can evolve into fully aquatic reptiles like the majestic beasts of the Mesozoic era
You can just see on the faces of all those animals when that music started that they all were thinking the same thing: _Now what are those bipedals going to do this time_
I don't see the fuss behind not legalizing marine iguanas tbh. They seem to be peaceful creatures. If Canada can legalise marine iguanas the rest of the world can do the same
Are they getting shorter? Or only the short ones survive the stress periods? To become shorter is to decrease in length... How can they make such an observation... I'm a bit surpised about this conclusions and premises...
They are the image of prime creation. The planet first began with Aqua-Culture, then Sun-Culture. Water Beings with gills, scales, and Amphibians are the living Gods of this planet. Take down your picture of Jesus and put up the Marine Iguana or Lobster.
The planet will be fine. Freshwater lakes evaporating, coastal cities being submerged, matine species dying off from heat, and hot land areas becoming unlivable (india, middle east) is just a problem for us humans.
How snout trappinhg the competing species if the competing specified csme there naturally then leave them alone and let the n let nature course dictate who survives
I wouldn't b Happy to recommend u dat not to scare these animals but rather slowly slowly make them trust u, ik it will take time or it might be hard but the clip 3:17 or 3:16 explains the iguana is scared and I am disappointed to c this
@@aisharehman502 What I mean is, it's much better to have them running away from humans as fast and as often as possible. Why does that need any explanation? It's simple and in plain English. Until humans arrived on the islands a few hundred years ago, Iguanas had almost nothing to fear.
Why don't these scientists just leave ALL animals alone?!😠There's nothing that we can do for them anyways! Whatever will happen, will happen! I agree with conservation, but leave these critters be!😞🙏Study them from afar! When we handle wild creatures, we're probably shortening their life through stress!😠
You're right, dogs absolutely hate human interaction. What do you mean there's nothing we can do for them? Do you know how many animals we've saved from extinction by studying and protecting them? it's a lot. Nowhere near as many as we've driven extinct, but it's a lot. Canada geese were once extremely rare, now we see them as pests. Bison were almost hunted to extinction, and their numbers are expanding again. There's nothing we can do for them if we leave them alone.
@@gideonjones8088 All I'm saying is...if we left them alone in the first bloody place, we wouldn't have to try to "save" them!😠,for example...no hunting, trapping,destroying their habitat, etc!😠
@@iancannon2825 If we left the animals alone in the first place, we would still be in the stone ages. And I'm not exaggerating, without domesticating animals, like horses and donkeys for transport and workpower, dogs for hunting and protection, chickens and cows for food, then we wouldn't have the technologies we have today. We wouldn't have medicine to save people from diseases(though admittedly we would have very different diseases to deal with without that animal contact) and you and I might never have been born. Hunting gave us food, gave us protein and vital nutrients we couldn't get from the crops we had. For many the hides gave them clothing that kept them alive. Maybe today dietary supplements could make up for the nutritional value of meat, but we only have those because of the thousands of years of destroying habitats to expand our own existence.
@@iancannon2825 So, can we maybe drop at least some of the emojis? If you can't trust your words to convey the emotion, I don't feel like I should trust the rest of what you say. It's not a personal jab or anything, just a note that for people you aren't having a personal conversation with, emojis aren't needed. Getting on to your comment, remember how often we are the cause of these animals being rare and endangered in the first place. The option of leaving them completely alone often results in(shockingly) nothing changing. If a level of interaction with these animals helps us understand how they live and what threatens them, we can try to eliminate those threats. Regarding the skink story, I would actually love to know what kind of skink it was, if you remember, because I would actually like to learn about stuff like that. As for the platypus story, it actually works against your claim of nature sorting itself out. The zoo was trying to breed them out of their natural environment, and this is something a lot of animals struggle with, in some cases a successful pregnancy even beginning is newsworthy, so I'm not surprised platypuses(platypi? platypeople?) have the same issue. Now you say Walmsley hunted the dogs and cats off the land he bought before reintroducing a small breeding population of platypuses, and left it alone for a few years before returning to find a strong, well established population. More directly to the point you made, this only happened because a person released them into the wild after eliminating predators. That doesn't sound like a case of leaving nature alone. Going purely off the idea of natural selection, if the cats and dogs hunted platypuses to extinction in the area, it was simply the stronger organisms winning. That's how nature would have sorted itself out. Also, I don't think your rant against the scientists is warranted at all. Without doing any research on this topic outside of what you present in your comment, I assume the zoo(and the researchers decked out in their multitude of degrees) were trying a very different strategy. If the purpose of the breeding program was to release the animals back into wild areas they had disappeared from, they probably wanted a strong breeding population to begin with, a group that they had studied and understood. However, they may well have just been trying to get a family of them for the zoo, or to send to other zoos around the world, in which case dropping a group of them in a river and waiting a few years to see if they got lucky would actually be a terrible idea. My point being, the zoo was trying to breed them in captivity. That was all. Obviously they reproduce in the wild, the zoo instead wanted to grow a population under their immediate care.
I know that the dogs and cats were introduced by humans. My point was just that it took human interaction to fix it, leaving nature to run its course in that scenario wouldn't have returned things to normal at all.
Sooooo, you are taking baby Godzillas and using radiations to make them full size, aren't you?
If they can shrink, they can grow too 😲
Gucx,j
Is no one gonna mention that lizard that is casually chilling on that iguana's face? 0:25
MJ khan96 i think that's a baby
The lil lizard eats the flies that are a pest the the iguana.
Symbiotic relationships
Lava lizards or larva

They are my favorite breed of dog.
Came for the Thumbnail, stayed for the accent 🐨
Reinhold 'Ray' Metrich The thumbnail is cool, but the wider shots of the environment are awesome too.
3:15 when tryin to avoid mama so you don't get beat but she catch you anyway
This is pretty freakin cool.
BBC Earth, thank you so much for another wonderful, informative video. :] Lots of live from Brazil! ♡ l
Awesome observation. I hope the research reveals good information that can be used to extend understanding of these & other cool animals.
Parabéns BBC por esse especial vídeo. De grande responsabilidade com amor a natureza. ..

Marine iguanas? Can we just call them Mariguanas?
Good idea
that's the spanish word for weed
Marijuana
Why cant we just call them Godzillasaurus instead?
I saw this in a green iguana population in Florida as well, they aren't smaller girth wise or anything, just shorter.
Imagine iguana rhino fight komodo dragon.
It be like triceratops vs tyrannosaurus Rex.
easy win for komodo
No Godzilla was harmed during the filming of the documentary.
"No one has x-rayed a marine iguana like this before". There you have your next paper.
So, what did they find? You can't leave us hanging like this!!!
Now thats the real godzilla
They are Godzilla waiting for the right occasion to grow
That x ray machine is quiet amazing
0:28 don't talk to me or my son ever again
Ese es mi hermoso Ecuador
that's because they are Godzillas is mini size
Ok that was said like five times already.
Such a cool looking lizard.
those who can adapt will survive.
I love marine iguanas
I didn't see this episode of Doctor Who, different and lacking action but interesting nonetheless
Yeah, and who were all those Companions? Never seen them before.
You can just see on the faces of all those animals when that music started that they all were thinking the same thing: _Now what are those bipedals going to do this time_
May the best species win.
What an interesting job

tennat tennat tennat tennat + animals = yes good very nice
You misspelled Mini Godzillas.
For all you anglos out there, 'El Niño' is Spanish for 'The Niño'.
Thanks God
Dont you *DA BOI?*
Thats it? Where is the continuation? Make your videos long please and with complete stories :--(
Then they turned into Godzilla after that radiation exposure.

Wow! The mechanisms?
MARIne iGUANAs
Wish it was 4:20
Birdo maito: And they're green, too!
I want to see the rest!
that thumbnail looks sick
Disappointed that accordion music didn’t start playing at 1:30
: )
Pls make a subtitles for these videos
David Tennant! Where the TARDIS at?
Just to be the clear the point is that they are adapting over time? He’s not saying they can grow or shrink their bodies on command right?
Godzilla...!
SubhanAllah such creations very nature much w3w!
I don't see the fuss behind not legalizing marine iguanas tbh. They seem to be peaceful creatures. If Canada can legalise marine iguanas the rest of the world can do the same
Why's the video too short😕
They should settle into something like fishes and eventually become carnivores
Go Pack
" Gotcha little bug "
It's almost like evolution or something wow.
Reptiles stay smaller if fed smaller prey. I have a rescue Boat Constrictor who is minute. So why would iguanas be any different.
so theyre shrinking in real time?? like its not a generational thing?
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
The rise of Godzilla
Looks like Godzilla in the thumbnail
you're not going to show the change???
Its gradual as hell.
why does everyone think that this is a marine iguana ??? it's Godzilla !!!!
So jordy el nino are the iguana's enemy huh
Iguanas 🦎 are fucken awesome 👏🏿 I own 2 👹
1998
What's the name of the narrator??
Survival of the fittest
so that is why humans became short and have shorter life spans < evolution> comparing it to ufo humans were tall and long life spans ^.^

2:51 please dont me! Please dont eat me!
They'll become Godzilla one day
Didn't know they had shrek narrating this
🌹
Godzilla
Kinda cute
When dat boi rolls in freaky emo vegan lizzard gets offed.
Hey does anyone have a charger were dying!?
*Godzilla intensifies*
Am I the only one here because of how ridiculous one looked in a book?

I wanna see this iguana fight a monkey

So is climate change normal or not and should we even worry about it , or just wait till our planet fixes itself? 🤔
The planet will be fine. Freshwater lakes evaporating, coastal cities being submerged, matine species dying off from heat, and hot land areas becoming unlivable (india, middle east) is just a problem for us humans.
Just an example how Vegetarians will survive any catastrophe.
@hail hortler probably import from a vegan living 500 miles away .
That's why humans survived many catastrophes yet they ate meat.
Sharath Kumar M.S. nice joke

We only got one life, we should eat whatever we want in that life.
weird flex but ok
Natural selection, not evolution
lol. Mind checking me out
Ah..jeez! I killed several iguanas to for making dart and bullet pouch in AC black flag.
Same
They are surviving it because its a myth
Stupid people touching wild animals without gloves.
How do they get so fat?
