As someone whose blind and enjoys your content, thank you for describing the pictures. You guys are an awesome team-up for this podcast, and I'm glad that I get to see Connor flex his smarts.
I agree but for me, I like to watch these as I drift to sleep, so their descriptions mean I don’t have to open my eyes and look at my phone I can just keep pre-snoozing lol
I’d love an episode on the world’s seemingly useless abilities/ adaptations of some animals! Like things some animals have the ability to do but barely or rarely have a need or use for. Like recently I learned about how some aquatic animals like dolphins have vestigial which are functionless to them
Yeah I was laughing at that. to be fair their use case is different than just random people picking them up, but it was still kinda hilarious and jarring to be staring at that shell as he said that.
“Don’t touch anything in the ocean” no worries Connor, I wasn’t planning on going into the ocean and the cone snails solidify that for me. I’m ok being a land mammal
when i was about 10 years old, i where on holiday in Italy with my family, we where collecting shells at the beach. I found this very butilfull cone shaped shell, and took it with me. an hour later, i got it out of my pocket, and looked a little closer at it, and saw that there were a snaill in the shell, and tossed it back in the ocean. we found out when we came home, how dangerous it was.
OH yeah! Isn't there a thing where if you're getting attacked by a crocodile you can just hold its mouth closed with your hand and that's enough to keep them from opening it? Also same thing when they're transporting crocs or stuff in zoo settings, they just tape their mouths shut(albeit with strong tape but still).
@@laurensuty2760 to be fair when they tape their mouths shut they do it tightly and they already hold their mouth closed before hand, if a large crocodile is attacking you for some reason it’s going to have its mouth way more open which would be nigh impossible for you to try and close with your hands without getting bitten which is just basically a death sentence
But their teefers protruding out the side are still a fun hazard that could lead to a gash as they thrash, and you bleeding out. So... Just leave Crocs and Gators alone! 😅👍
This podcast is feeding into, what my mother calls, “useless knowledge deposit” can’t wait to bring up all these facts with my friends at our next girls brunch 😂
I'm sad that Connor used a tablet this episode. I realise it's probably easier, but I really liked the polar opposites between Maya with the laptop and Connor with the paper reports
Guys, these episodes are nice and compact. Only super fun and crazy information. Super digestible to send to friends or to tell about during dinner. You are absolutely killing it with this podcast. Very well done! Keep it up!
I love it when they're talking about an animal overperforming in terms of their actual needs and Maya is like "This is so dumb!". The way she sometimes specifically seeks out topics that make her laugh about their ridiculousness is so funny to me.
26:29 tfw you tell your boss what you just did on camera and they try really hard not to freak out… 29:00 …boss is trying so hard to focus but is still freaking out
I had to wait an entire week for this episode! It did not disappoint tho. Love these so much. Thank you, guys, for these masterpieces! Also, you could maybe do an episode on the worlds least dangerous looking animals that are actually scary. A boomslang for example, he is a tiny danger noodle.
my favorite podcast of this year,idc what else drops in 2024 - this is peak it’s super interesting,super fun hosts,great descriptions,fantastic energy,cool and cozy looking set I CANT!! 100/10❤
I was never super interested in animals before, but with Alveus and this podcast I’ve found myself becoming so much more interested in learning about animals!!
I learned from somewhere that the cone snail venom varies from species to species and also from individual to individual and from shot to shot. This might mean cone snail may be able to control it's output of toxicity. That may explain why that man that was sung survived.
I'm brazilian and I love harpy eagles so much. In brazilian portuguese the direct translation of their name would be something like royal or imperial hawk, and the name suits them so much! They also have different names in our native indigenous languages. I haven't seen one in the wild but I love seeing them at the zoo. Beautiful, beautiful creatures.
I actually did know cone snail! They featured it in the ARK Animated show. But they used the excuse that it was a cone snail ancestor to excuse it just temporarily paralyzing people instead of killing them lol (great show btw with my favorite soundtrack of the year, The cast is kinda crazily stacked and Gareth Coker is a crazy good composer)
Well it also doesn’t often kill people either, just because the snail holds enough venom to kill 700 people doesn’t mean it actually dumps enough venom in a sting to kill a person, after all they’re hunting tiny fish, using that much venom would be incredibly wasteful, it’s likely why only 36 people have ever died from their stings despite their being 130+ stings on record.
Another cool fact about Crocs if they live in areas with lighter dirt and sand for periods of time they will change color to more of lighter tone golds and yellows also California king snakes are the strongest constrictors pound for pound in the world
Watched a bald eagle hit an enormous pike in a lake. It got itself out of the water but wasn't able to lift the fish clear for about 100 yards then continued just above the water to shore. Incredible.
i think it would actually be REALLY cool to have dung beetles, or more likely native beetle species as ambassadors. i mean beetles make up 25% of all known life on earth!!! they're so cute and such incredibly fascinating friends and they do so much good for our planet! i keep native stag beetles as pets, they're so friendly and playful and wonderful!
Could the "podcast" section of the youtube channel be updated with the new episodes, I use youtube music for podcasts so it only has the trailer and the first episode listed
I grew up in Far North Queensland is Aus where we were taught about conesnails just out of safety. My brother and I were snorkelling on the reef where I stopped him stepping on a cone snail the size of my thumb. We just watched it for a bit and it got it proboscis out. weird looking little guys.
Regarding the cone snail, while all species are venomous, only the geographic cone snail has the venom to kill 700 people. There are a couple other species that have less potent, but still extremely strong venom (particularly the textile cone snail, which has also definitely killed people; the tulip cone snail is the other one, and while it doesn't have any officially recorded kills, it's dangerous enough to be considered a deadly animal to humans) while the majority of the rest are in the "ruin your week/month" kind of category (e.g. the California cone snail and Hawaiian sutured cone snail). But that geographic cone...yeesh. I guess it evolved in a region which had EXTREMELY fast fish, requiring instantaneously-acting venom.
Great podcast, it's so interesting how "wild" the wildlife can be. Also thank you for providing metric units, my European ass can't ever remember how to convert imperial.
Omg I had no idea that cone snails were venomous! I'm so glad I never tried picking one up, esp. as a kid. Also, this is why I like to wear water shoes at the beach, at least I won't step on a crab, jellyfish (even dead ones can sting), or deadly venomous snail with no cure!
A prescribed cone snail painkiller does exist-- Ziconotide-- its just not well known because it has a significant side affect profile through all routes of administration besides intrathecally (injected into your CSF,) which unsurprisingly carries its own inherent risks.
The Modern Crowned Eagle is a pretty interesting bird for a fossil find known as the ‘Taung Child’ where an ancient human was killed by said bird. Another example of birdies hunting us primates.
Is it true that once a crocodile/alligator bites it can't open its mouth again for several minutes? I thought I read/heard that somewhere. The explanation was that they exert so much energy in that giant bite-force that they exhaust those muscles. It's also a possible explanation as to why they wait so patiently for the opportune moment to strike. Have no idea if it's true, though, and my adhd prevents me from fact checking.
When Maya asked about the most venomous creature, I yelled out IT'S A CONE SNAIL and I've never been more proud of random obscure knowledge in my life
somebody get this guy a gold star!!!
i thought it was gonna be the super venomous tiny octopus
Yes same!
my guess was some kinda frog

I agree but for me, I like to watch these as I drift to sleep, so their descriptions mean I don’t have to open my eyes and look at my phone I can just keep pre-snoozing lol
The fact that they constantly describe everything for audio listeners is so good, actually feels like a podcast
Goodbye Fentanyl, Hello Cone Snail
babe wake up new worlds wildest episode just dropped
So you woke yourself up? (Sry if inappropriate haha..ha)
@@mechwarrior13 what's wrong with you? What in her comment invited you to make that remark?
@@gubgub3275😂😂😂
I’d love an episode on the world’s seemingly useless abilities/ adaptations of some animals! Like things some animals have the ability to do but barely or rarely have a need or use for. Like recently I learned about how some aquatic animals like dolphins have vestigial which are functionless to them
Also my info may be very wrong! I just read it somewhere once but didn’t remember it till now, I’d love for Connor and Maya to prove me wrong
I looked it up and it seems to be true! Not only dolphins but a bunch of whales also have vestigial hind limbs :)
10:50 ‘I don’t know why people need shells’, he says with a shell behind him lol
😂 didn’t even pick up on that
Maya thrifted and built the set basically
yeah that made me laugh aswell
Yeah I was laughing at that. to be fair their use case is different than just random people picking them up, but it was still kinda hilarious and jarring to be staring at that shell as he said that.
“Don’t touch anything in the ocean” no worries Connor, I wasn’t planning on going into the ocean and the cone snails solidify that for me. I’m ok being a land mammal
10:46 "I don't know why anyone needs shells" meanwhile there's a shell right behind him lol
I cant get enough of this. Last time I watched a podcast so intently was when J&J podcast was still going on. Great job!
when i was about 10 years old, i where on holiday in Italy with my family, we where collecting shells at the beach. I found this very butilfull cone shaped shell, and took it with me. an hour later, i got it out of my pocket, and looked a little closer at it, and saw that there were a snaill in the shell, and tossed it back in the ocean.
we found out when we came home, how dangerous it was.
Connor acting very professional and not annoying Maya is freaking me out
Fun fact, despite the immense bite strength of the crocodile, their muscles for opening their jaw are fairly weak.
OH yeah! Isn't there a thing where if you're getting attacked by a crocodile you can just hold its mouth closed with your hand and that's enough to keep them from opening it? Also same thing when they're transporting crocs or stuff in zoo settings, they just tape their mouths shut(albeit with strong tape but still).
@@laurensuty2760 Its close to that yeah. Hence electrical tape being good enough to secure their mouth closed during transport.
@@laurensuty2760 to be fair when they tape their mouths shut they do it tightly and they already hold their mouth closed before hand, if a large crocodile is attacking you for some reason it’s going to have its mouth way more open which would be nigh impossible for you to try and close with your hands without getting bitten which is just basically a death sentence

So... Just leave Crocs and Gators alone! 😅👍
@@DUKE_of_RAMBLE yup but if you gotta relocate one do it right
This podcast is feeding into, what my mother calls, “useless knowledge deposit” can’t wait to bring up all these facts with my friends at our next girls brunch 😂
crocodiles are one of the scariest animals but they're vocalizations sound like the echoes of a public toilet bowl.
I'm sad that Connor used a tablet this episode. I realise it's probably easier, but I really liked the polar opposites between Maya with the laptop and Connor with the paper reports
Connor trolling about the dung beetles was so funny. 😆
Guys, these episodes are nice and compact. Only super fun and crazy information. Super digestible to send to friends or to tell about during dinner. You are absolutely killing it with this podcast. Very well done! Keep it up!
Would love to see a most sneaky or mysterious where we learn about lesser known or rarely seen creatures.
12:54 actually harpy eagles can be found in northern Argentina. Fortunately.
As an European, thanks for the measure conversions!!!
Editor thought they slick by starting the episode like that lol
this is easily the best podcast out there. great job to Maya and Connor for putting in the time👏👏
I love it when they're talking about an animal overperforming in terms of their actual needs and Maya is like "This is so dumb!". The way she sometimes specifically seeks out topics that make her laugh about their ridiculousness is so funny to me.
For real!! I love learning about silly things like that haha
lol the dung beetle purchase bit was great.
26:29 tfw you tell your boss what you just did on camera and they try really hard not to freak out… 29:00 …boss is trying so hard to focus but is still freaking out
The last two audio episodes aren't available on UA-cam podcasts but the videos are available fyi! Great episode 😁

I love this podcast man, so much sick info
I cant wait to share animal facts every week w literally anyone i encounter since these started droppin
not me getting jumpscared by maya saying 5 inches long
This podcast is such a cool place to learn more amazing things about this world. And a save space to be nerdy about animal facts
Just let Connor get the dung beetles Maya! Such a party pooper…😂
An episode on the weirdest experiments would be SO cool and interesting
@15:45 either a typo on the notes or just read it wrong, but the conversion is 220 yards or 200 meters
I hope fans share this podcast with their friends and family. I really want to see it grow.
please do the weirdest lab testing scenarios. I’m so interested in that.
Learning that a harpy Eagle sounds like a duck is one of the best things
bro said "....... wenk"
Saltwater crocodiles' noises sounds like someone just drank 50 L of Pepsi
I learned from somewhere that the cone snail venom varies from species to species and also from individual to individual and from shot to shot. This might mean cone snail may be able to control it's output of toxicity. That may explain why that man that was sung survived.
i love this so much, even after patreon, I love watching it again so much
Last ep i thought wow I wish I could Listen to them for hours… then I remembered there are years worth of vods :)
Great video!
Okay now I need to know about the jumping spider eyesight thing. This podcast is great ^-^
Thank you so much for transfering everything into cm 🤧❤️
So oddly cool and informative and funny thanks you two!
Thank y’all!! Love this!!
I love watching this podcast and just getting random fun facts to tell my friends who have 0 care in the world about what I'm telling them :)
For the Euro listeners. 220 yds is 200 meters and not 20... The Harpy Eagle is badass.
Edit: Not just Euro, rest of the world 😅

favorite part of the week already
nice! looking forward to the world's weirdest experiments episode
One of my new favorite podcasts
Would love a world's newest discovery or oldest species still alive! Awesome show, I can't get enough!
Honestly, I would be surprised if there were no birds that eat monkeys.

1141% of 100lbs is 1141lbs, not a fully loaded semi trailer

Crocodiles go :> when they kill you and gators go C: and then back to sleep.
37:30 Uncle after taco Thursday
That was the world's wildest way to start the episode lol
I had no idea this podcast existed, lets go!
Listened to this on Spotify first and wasn't paying attention on the end and wondered why they played wet farting noices
21:32 thanks maya i am indeed
There wasn’t a single evil brain in a giant robot body on this whole dang list smh
this podcast rocks
So does the snail strike cause like a little sonic boom?
One of the fastest attack speeds attached to a snail known for being one of the slowest on earth
A prescribed cone snail painkiller does exist-- Ziconotide-- its just not well known because it has a significant side affect profile through all routes of administration besides intrathecally (injected into your CSF,) which unsurprisingly carries its own inherent risks.
Watching this and the puppy party at the same time
Welp... I guess the snail won't be going on anyone's Pain Index anytime soon! 😅
The Modern Crowned Eagle is a pretty interesting bird for a fossil find known as the ‘Taung Child’ where an ancient human was killed by said bird. Another example of birdies hunting us primates.
second dungeon beetle looks like a little frog with big eyebrows

Mod or whomever would see this. Can you title the podcasts with what number it is. thanks
so the cone snail moves faster than sound does anyone know if it makes a boom?
37:28 I've heard Humans make that sound 😩🚽💩💨🧻🧻🧻.
Am I the only on that thought the crocodiles were burping or farting at first because that is such a unexpected sound to come out of them 😂
Did they switch thumbnails or does UA-cam allow multiple and just switches them up random
Fun episode
