Missed a chance to call the video 'Brian Cox goes eye to eye with an Aye-Aye'
Genius
BBC sucks
I hope Brian Cox will voice nature documentaries like Attenborough does one day. He has an amazing story-telling voice
One might even call it "Woonderful"...
A brilliant physicist Brian, now also playing a biologist .. amazing !
Well, he's a professor of Particle Physics, and since everything is made up of particles, I suppose...
Those things are PRIMATES?
Also, they're kinda cute once you get past the ugliness
+CrazyPangolinLady Oh gosh, I think aye-ayes are adorable. I love them! :3 And yep, they're primates. Their skeletal structure is similar to that of lemurs, although their rodent-like teeth has caused controversy about the classification.
there always cute
You can see their distant cousins on a night bus or working in Burger King.
So am i
Yes, all lemurs are primates! Aye-ayes are just amazing.
1:07 When that weed was stronger than you thought

Haaha
High-Aye
Comment of the year!!!
This clip makes me excited about studying biology and making it my profession :) isn't the natural world wierd and wonderful?
BBC Earth really likes Madagascar, thank you for sharing these videos. I come from Madagascar and I'm so sad that malagasy (people from Madagascar) don't care about their country and their patrimony.
I think lemur conservation organisations are trying to do things to help improve education out in Madagascar. The Duke Lemur Center and the Lemur Conservation Foundation (both American lemur conservation places) are both doing some great work out in Madagascar with local Malagasy people. I bought an education pack from the LCF recently to look at the children’s books that were written for Malagasy children about lemurs. Try and find the books by Alison Jolly and Hantanirina Rasamimanana. The watercolour artwork is really nice. :)
I recently bought some lemur dolls that are made in Madagascar and waiting for them to arrive. :)
The aye-aye was one of my favorite animals when I was a child. They're so beautiful.
This cute little guy!
I love these things, they're fascinating and adorable creatures, but they do look freaky
that is fascinating... I'd never heard nor seen one of these...wish we could of seen her awake, to see how she reacts around humans...she's kinda cute..
Such an iconic video! Sooo cute :)
I would much rather watch footage of an aye-aye doing its thang than Brian Cox handling a sedated aye-aye.
+wetherbizzle Right?! Honestly, this video made me really uncomfortable to watch with it sedated like that
Those people didn't just sedate it for the purpose of Brian Cox to fiddle around with it, they're a conservation team and put a radio on it, yes its unfortunate to see an animal sedated against its will but in the long run the team is dedicated to the species survival. Also the animal was taken back to its home afterwards.
uuuuuuuu
These animals are amazing.
Aye-Aye could be excellent piano players, if they wanted to!
I had no idea they were as big as that !
I thought they would be similar in size to a bush baby or marmoset, whereas it's more like a cat.
Still think they're cute though 🙂
'Cause she's a high aye aye...
so, this is the famous animal of all those pirate movies
"aye-aye, captain"
I still don't understand the connection, though
Maurice is so cute
Always great to watch a Rowland S Howard in its natural environment.
Brian Cox met an aye aye
Daubentonia madagascariensis - wonderful animal!
When I saw the dart thing I was like DONT YOU DARE KILL THE ALREADY INDANGERED LEMUR
Fact tecz
😂😂yeah
The one guy who was tracing the aye aye looks like an aye aye.
Those little fingers and that very long middle finger seem quite easy to break.
Aye-Ayes are actually cute!
As heard from a car commercial!
It wasn't me it's mr smartypants who equally the mars
Brian Cox meets an Tejuino
I thought that was Jim Carrey in the thumbnail lol
I thought he is with planets
It’s Maurice, the private helper for king julian
An Aye Aye is a thing !!
That thing on her neck seems uncomfortable?!?
Where plants and animals created first in North pole or South. Or after polar switches and how many switches.
The oldest fossils of Animals have been found in South Australia, and were of Sponges (the most primitive animals). They date back to 665,000,000 BCE
Plants are theorised to have first appeared around 1,000,000,000 BCE but fossils aren't really present until they colonised land, around 850,000,000 BCE, in Saudi Arabia.
There's also Fungi, which are a distinct Kingdom, closer related to Animals than Plants (Surprising until you consider Sponges are Animals). Fungi fossils are incredbily rare but the oldest date back to 1,000,000,000 BCE, in Canada.
So Animals near the South Pole, Fungi near the North Pole, Plants in the middle.
this is hard to watch
40 million years?
Quite interesting, considering the world is about 6,000 years old.

Here's a Turkish ruin dating back to 11000 BCE
Be funny if Glasgow rock band Aye-aye were tranquilized and fell out the tree!
Scary
The collar looks like it’s too tight which was very upsetting 😢
The truth about that elongated highly mobile centre digit is this: it's for nose picking.
These assistants look like the tough guys you wanna go into the jungle with but then they abandon you the first sign of an ancient god being unleashed, which at first you brush off as mere superstition but then later find out is all too real.
I hope for subtitles because I'm not a native speakers 😫😩😖😣😔😢😭
You are wrong. The finger she uses to tap the tree is not the same finger she puts in the tree to get bugs out.
missed a chance to make a jojo reference
How did they survive for 14 million years until their long finger "evolved".
Oh man, you caught them out there! If God is an intelligent designer why did he put the wind pipe next to the food pipe (choking risk). And why did he put the vagina next to the anus (cancer risk)? And why does the human eye have a blind spot?
Aren’t you talking to loud to close to her ears? I’ve never seen anyone so loud around an aye-aye before. Also looks likes she’s hurting her tongue… I’ve never seen them with their tongue clasped like that during sedation. It’s always to the side… Poor thing this was torture for her…
teeeth
I miss Steve Irwin...
Why was it so adapted to a particular lifestyle? Maybe it was created that way.
To argue genetics preserved a single gene consistently that was a random mutation to its advantage flies straight in the face of everything geneticists have learned about how genetics works and how genes are passed. Genes can lie dormant for hundreds of years and randomly appear again suddenly.
Geneticists have also found that our genetic markup has certain coding in ir that prevents adaptation that will significantly change the genetic code. This means it is impossible to "adapt" through natural selection. Nevermind the numerous problems with the age of the earth.
I think here he didn't explain it well. The Natural selection here meant that the 'Lemurs' that initially originated to Madagascar does not grew those long toes and sharp teeth due to mutation to adapt to conditions of life. Natural selection here means that the 'lemurs' that had these modifications survived and pass on its genes to its offspring. But, how only few had these modifications?Analogous to humans, not everyone looks the same. Some are tall and some are short. Some have long arms and different shape in teeth. Same principle apply here. Each members of a species is unique. Thats what he means here by genetic mutation within species that happens all the time. The minor changes that helps a species survive will be passed on to its offspring. The one doesn't have these modifications that help it to survive will die out.
I have never seen that animal befor is it rare?
Madagasca - it's an awesome place, filled with species' that you will find nowhere else on the planet!
thank you just ive never seen one on tv or internet
Maddie fun You're welcome! The island was isolated for so, so long that it's native creatures evolved into their own specimens! Look it up, it's surreal!
ok
It’s quite rare. It’s only native to Madagascar in nature, and it’s an endangered species. They’re hunted quite often unfortunately
That's awful ... You're messing with it sedated. Feels wrong.
Welcome to Biological World Sir !! 🐳
You give a figure of 40 million years just how you know this as the right figure its more like 10 million years
aye ayes are creepy
Brian Cox like Keanu Reeves 😎
this is creepy
2:50
This guy: "And the answer is--"
Me: "God--"
This guy: "Natural Selection."
Is no one gonna mention that they just invaded her home, sedated her and then started poking and prodding at her while filming it with a smile on their faces?
God’s creation
kind of looks dead
Really tired of Brian Cox putting himself in the middle of the story.
This is so cruel the poor animal
That animal is fine it's just tranquilized
You lost me at mutations. Mutations have never been documented as creating anything as revolutionary as the Aye-Aye's middle finger. At most they make changes that are disruptive to a species survival, such as removing useful camouflage, or making debilitating changes (blindness, flightlessness, or deafness). Scientists keep saying mutations produce new species. They do not.
k
In walks the american
You miss out the point where mutations can be beneficiary to an animals survival. . . most of the time mutations which are not beneficial, or silent enough to go unnoticed through most of the prime of an animals life, do not make it past the first generation as the animal dies before being able to pass on the gene or the mutation is not favoured by selection of other members of the species. The mutations which are favourable for survival, or are silent through the majority of the animals prime however will get passed on. This process continues down generations causing multiple species around the world to adapt to their specific environments. Its not just 1 mutation that causes high specialisation. Mutations drive evolution, so in that sense - Yes, mutations do produce new species.
Read up on Peppered Moths - they're among the best recent examples of animals evolving to the modern industrialised world.
The short version is during the 19th century they started mutating to be black rather than white, to blend in better with soot-covered trees and buildings.
Insects reproduce exceptionally quickly so they're great examples of evolution.
Viruses too. Where do you think the Brazilian, South African and British variations of COVID19 came from? Viruses reproduce even faster than insects, so they evolve to work around natural or manmade resistances. This is also why a vaccine isn't possible for the Flu or Common Cold.
This is so wrong to shoot down an Aye Aye from a tree. This is cruelty. Leave those nocturnal animals alone.
They are being tagged, tracked and protected in order to insure there survival and not becoming extinct.
Perfectness because of creator, i.e Allah. Nothing could be so perfect without a creator. Nothing could create on its own.
Haven’t you heard of science love???? Most people have come out of the dark ages.
The earth is flat
Brian Cox is an okay presenter and ambassador for science. But he's nowhere near as good as the smartest man on Earth and trained mascot of the religion of Egalite, Neil Degrasse. Brian proves that hair dye is hip. But Neil Degrasse proves that Africa will one day match Europa in intellectual achievement, at least once the barriers of institutionalized prejudice in Black ruled nations are dissolved and the untapped genius of thriving black Africa, soon billions strong, is finally able to soar through the global winds, taking the 'human race' to the final frontier of progress! #NeilTheBrownNewton
You're aware Tyson is from Manhattan, right?
128pagenovella NO ONE BEATS DAVID ATTENBOROUGH
Neil Degrasse is a God, a black god of earth's intellectual achievements from all times.
128pagenovella This is the strangest racism I've ever seen.
128pagenovella You're the one who called Neil deGrasse Tyson a gorilla.
Edit: And after parsing that last comment a little more carefully, I have revised my opinion. This is pretty much bog standard racism.
I totally thought that guy was a young Gibb in the thumbnail 🙂
