What’s to be done about a jaywalking moose? A grizzly bear caught breaking and entering? A murderous tree? Humanity have never been good at sharing the planet, so what’s the solution when nature gets in our way?

I'd like to recommend that speakers participating in these talks get real microphones. Headphone mics and laptop mics are not made for this. It makes it so much easier to listen to with even a $20 microphone.
@stroncal these low quality mics are made for phone calls. The bit-rate of the sound is reduced, decreasing the dynamic range and increasing sibilance. These things make it hard to hear the words in a way similar to listening to a person who does not enunciate properly, or has a speech impediment.
Interesting comment as I had no problems with the sound, whereas often in fancy podcasts where they have fancy mics I often find the levels too low and even with max vol on my phone can't hear the people easily and certainly not over ambient noise.... Also, from a sustainablility point of view, I'd see it as unnecessary consumption unless numbers of ppl can't listen/hear due to poor sound quality... So I'd like to understand better what the issue is before concurring as, like I say, for me the sound is better volume wise here compared to e.g. dear Coleman Hughes who is so quiet in his production....
Sound is fine. It’s you
Sounds like you should buy one for them if you care so much. 🤷
I have filed lawsuits against God for causing floods, earthquakes, and plagues, and he didn't show up to court either. Just like the caterpillars.
Maybe sue Mother Nature.
"When nature shows us the law" ; )
Watching now, sure it'll give insight to many. Ty
The sites need to be made responsible for the garbage & dire effects of their holiday lets organisation on the bears or rather, their lack of organisation. The traditional elephants trails need to be kept clear if the humans don't want to ask for real trouble.
Awesome channel with awesome content and great quality as always say 🌍💯
Interesting information
I loved this! I think it's been clear for quite some time that we've overlearned the "don't anthropomorphize" lesson.
It used to indicate scientific rigor, but the more we learn, the more we understand what's obvious to children. Nonhuman animals have preferences, personalities, and other individual differences too. We write children's tales and marketing around this very thing. Sally the Sad Snail, Tigger the Tiger, Eyore the Depressed Donkey, etc.
Of course direct in point let's go watching
Really interesting to hear and brilliantly entertaining! Thank you, ladies
What a wonderful speaker, its mesmerizing to hear her
37:55 - What does the gender of the leopard have to do with it? The "man" part of "man-eater" is about who gets _eaten,_ not the gender of the creature _doing_ the eating.
So much interesting information!
Bears are more frightened of you then you are of them. So they are harmless, someone in Kroatia told me once. After that he said people who can vow for the opposite weren't there to tell
Bunk
*WHY do we think we anthropomorphize, WE behave like THEM and replicate THEIR behaviour! Other mammals were around before us and for eg we choose higher fat content ice cream because we are MAMMALS!! We get drunk because we are mammals. All animals have personalities as do we and differ within a population as do we, not the other way around. They came first and our behaviour replicates THEIRS!!
Mary Roach's mind is a weird and perverted place 1:02:15 - onwards
Great thumbnail for photoshopping
It's not a conflict it's natural selection at its best. Do not forget Humans are animals.
Some humans are vegetables. And Dwayne The Rock Johnson is a mineral.
I couldn't make it past 5 minutes of that interviewer 👎
when nature is racist -> it upsets all kinds of liberal narrative 🤣
No, but it's upsetting like the foul smell of feces when UA-cam commentators are racist idiots.
Nature is never racist, that's a purely human construct.
... how can nature be racist? Definitionally, there has to be a systemic power difference for there to be racism, and nature exists outside of systemic power structures. That's like saying the sun is gluten intolerant
Impossibly ignorant title to this program. Hope that was a poor joke.
