Speaking of intelligent dogs, I had a german shepherd ( female passed away 2 years ago) without training she used to open & close doors using the handles , turn on/off lights, work the kitchen faucet to drink water, get ice cubes from fridge , open/close sliding patio door, I've even caught her opening the fridge door many times, leave the house through the garage door, I noticed she watched us doing things and try to do the same. She was a hand full but we loved her to death.
So I've watched a lot of your reaction videos, mostly based on the level of interesting content you choose, but even more for your erudite, clever & studied observations. I'd just like to encourage you to morph beyond reaction vids toward building your own voice. I'd be fascinated to follow your perspective on a range of issues/topics. I appreciate that you've kept your name/personal history/opinions under the radar; but honestly, you're a rather rare quantity in this space. There are so many posters spouting utter nonsense, getting tons of views, and influencing people toward faulty and sometimes dangerous conclusions. Jump in, we need you!
To be fair, what he said about the Luna Moth is true about almost all moths and butterflies, they are rare creatures in that they have two very distinct phases in life with entirely different purposes. All caterpillars do is feed and after they have hatched out of their cocoon their only purpose in life is to mate. This is quite a unique concept in the animal world. PS: If the chair is gone so am I, how dare you switch chairs after we spent all of season 1 beginning to relate to that character in such a meaningful way.
Nature is so wild in how some animals are designed to some things great but are lacking in so many others. Love how he points out these opps in nature.
Totally, sometimes we forget that natural selection takes time to optimize species to their ever changing environments and that some species are too behind the changing times and naturally become extinct. Extinction is a natural phenomenon that is part of natural selection.
Ah yes, the video that made me subscribe to Casual Geographic. Love the guy 😄 Also really enjoyed your commentary on this one, those subtle jokes get me every time.
Poodles are very intelligent that's why they were trained as circus acts for many years. Also the poodles tight curly hair made them extremely buoyant so they were used by Belgian and French fishermen to retrieve fallen tackle.
This dude is really funny. After your first reaction to his videos I looked his channel up and binge watched several videos lol. Good luck with the move! And yes Casual Geographic has a video on Orcas.
09:11 This is pretty common with insects. Some of them like Mayflies spent years as a larvae only to die within days when they become an adult. Some species only live hours or even minutes. 14:52 Interesting thing about cheetahs is that they can be tamed pretty easily. The thing is that as bad as their reproduction is in the wild, in captivity it's even worse. We're talking about 90 percent death rate among newborn cubs. Without those support dogs, it would be pretty impossible to keep the population up in captivity. Oh, and the whole support dog thing also works with Leopards. If you impirint a leopard with a golden retriever, you basically have now two golden retrievers. ua-cam.com/video/PUq3oPzPVPg/v-deo.html

I saw the Casual Geographic video you reacted to, so I had to see your reaction. I grew up with these facts about animals, so it will be amazing to see a fellow woman's reaction. And when you didn't know about the bird Kiwi, I knew this would be a treat.
I knew nature had some gruesome births but I had never heard about those and they're out of pure horror! We might have our flaws but the animals on that list sure got it worse...
Sloths leaving the safety of the tree to poop makes me laugh because I'm imagining a sloth thinking "well I don't want this poop up here in the tree with me, if I don't go down there the poop will just stay up here with me" lending more to the hilarity that is a sloth to begin with.
2 surviving octopuses out of 50 000 means that only 0.004% survive to adulthood. And since octopuses are only equipped to have kids once, it means that the 2 surviving octopuses both need to reproduce to sustain their species.
Another interesting "design flaw" vertebrates have inherited is a blind spot in our eyes. For whatever the reason we have nerves on top of our retinas. Those nerves all pass through the retina on the way to the brain by going through a small hole in the retina. The hole means no photo-receptors where it is, so a blind spot. The brain sort of edits it out of our attention so no problems. Cephalopod on the other hand don't even have his issue since the nerves connecting the photo-receptors in their eyes to their brain connect from behind the retina.
This woman is very bright and her comments are worth listening to in their own right. She also has a very mobile face and is often more watchable than what she is presenting.
What do you think? I love his content. I have been watching his videos before even finding No Protocol. In fact, I found this channel because of Casual Geographic.
Standard Poodles were at one time hunting dogs, waterfowl for the most part iirc. Natural selection can cultivate some crazy traits, but human selection is no slouch either with domesticated animals. A lot of the working dogs received selective breeding to cultivate specific traits. Hunting, sheep herding, those sort of jobs are easier to do if you're working with an animal that can listen and understand contextual commands. There's a fun channel called "What About Bunny" where someone has buttons that their poodle / sheepdog mix can press to generate audible words. It's not the Queens English, but often the word combinations used by the pooch will seem contextually appropriate. I hope your move takes you to good places.
Funny you mentioned the poster, when I first started watching the channel my first video I was so intrigued by the poster, because I had the same idea, but for a nightclub named legends and for a theme with only music legends represented. It was trippy 😅 to see and not just think it my head.
I’ve seen this guy before. He’s informative, funny and to the point. Maybe I should subscribe to his channel. As always, you come up with some great videos.
You're moving physically or creating another channel? I don't watch for your decor. I watch because your unique perspective on topics is very interesting.
Imagine being a cheetah. You've got all your stats in speed. You're the fastest in the animal kingdom. And then some weird hairless ape sneaks up on you. You easily outrun the slow bastard. But an hour later... there he is again. You run away. This keeps happening until you're too tired to keep running. Then they stab you with a pointed stick and you die.
I always thought pigs were given frustrating lives due to their body shape. They are highly curious and intelligent, but they stand close to the ground, looking only down unless they stretch their short, fat necks, with limbs that are useless for holding anything or protecting themselves. And then there is the species with lower incisors that grow up THROUGH THEIR FACE and sometimes into their brain.
Kiwi birds are the most bizarre fuckers and I love them. They get backhanded by the entire ecosystem but the fact that their mating ritual is just the males inciting play until the female joins in or scratches him
Lettuce lettuce contains a chemical that works as an adenosine agonist. Lactuca virosa is highest in this chemical as its known as wild lettuce and so more effective than the domesticated lettuce.
A Kiwi bird that'll be New Zealand. Us British refer to New Zealanders as Kiwis. Leopards can't Roar by the way either. What he failed to mention about the Octopus is they are shape shifters, and can instantaneously change colour, they can perfectly mimic their surroundings, either blending perfectly into the sea bed or shape shifting into a rock while also changing into the exact colour of the rock or sea bed. They are truly incredible creatures.
@Sasooka trust me lion's Roar. You clearly haven't ever been up close to one that is, it goes straight through your entire body, making ever sense in you body activate, and your primeval brain suddenly realises that once upon a time that meant you were dinner.
@@millsy1861 I have been close to lions when they roar. Shivers down your spine, especially when you hear them at night. But my point is what is considered a roar and what isnt? Lions do roar in a way, id say leopards can (vocally only snow leopards 'cant') and tigers more then definitely roar, but by some definition so do cougars and bears and even orangutans. What is a roar to you?
I always feel some surreal type of humor when I hear about the "Emu Wars", like I know it must have sucked for whoever went thru it, but how many other animals have an actual W like that against people? The betta fish, A.K.A. the Chinese fighting fish, is the main one of those "prettier than the female" type fish I can think of. I don't think the pretty is for attracting mates in this case, they get really vibrant when facing other bettas so I guess it's more of a colorful "f off".
The thing about octopuses is that they are intelligent in the sense that they learn quickly, but they have virtually no long term memory. In aquariums they can teach octopuses to do all sorts of complex tasks, but they have to reteach them every morning. The memory doesn't stick around. So whether this counts as intelligence is a bit debatable.
Human childbirth is atrocious compared to other apes, because there are conflicting needs--- bigger head for the bigger brain, and narrow hips so you can walk upright. Those two make human childbirth among the most dangerous and painful of any, including the hyena.
Cheetahs aren't as nerfed as people keep claiming. I won't get into that, though. I'll just point out that the reason they can't roar, is that they can purr. Cats can either roar or purr, but never both. Purring may seem like a useless skill, but most likely has purposes we don't know of; in spite of what this list might make you think, evolution never gives up something useful, without getting something useful back. It's just that it doesn't give a 5h17 what if feels like to the individuals... Anyway, a benefit from purring that evolution never counted on, is that it's perfect for recruiting human allies; hearing and feeling the purr of a cheetah tends to stick with people in an entirely different way than roars (which also stick with people).
Fun fact we have the same amount of neck vertebrae as almost all mammals, which includes giraffes, elephants, and even whales. The only 2 animals that i know of that have more are the sloth and the Manatee
They say poodle dogs are smart, but I own 2 doodle mixes (half poodle dogs, one golden doodle, and a black labradoodle), and they are easily the two dumbest dogs I've ever known. I also have a GSD who routinely outsmarts both of them effortlessly.
The reason lettuce makes you tired is because it contains a chemical that is structurally similar to opium called lactucarium, aka lettuce opium/lopium.
If you're surprised about poodles being smart, consider that they're actually hunting dogs. They are pretty much bred for the water and go after waterfowl. Although you might not know what these days because people treat them like cute accessories. 😅
'does it die' - one egg per female wouldn't last long. Herodotus reported the same thing about female lions. animals that are really slow like sloths and koalas live off leaves with low nutritional value. while maybe a bit less lazy, pandas have the same problem with bamboo.
Imagine/ humans didn't take the digital/tech/industrial way of life and instead embraced the natural world. Seems like a long time ago but it's really just a fleeting moment in our time. Something I love to think about, how old everything is. The space you take up has been there for all of eternity (or Earth as we know it). What has taken place on the soil im walking on, how everything has come to be. It's awesome.
To answer your question about greens... yes. There is a reason we do green heavy diets. Your body honestly uses almost the entire carb value of a green just to process it. Even fulltime vegetarians know better than to just go with greens because you will not have any energy to spare on anything if you prioritize eatting leafy greens. Even less if you do not cook them.
🤣"2 out of 50000 is less than 1% "🤣🤣"someone Hubble check that math" 😭 I can tell you you're 100%right but that was the biggest understatement off the year
All these weird animals, no matter how weak they look to us, have passed the test of time excellently. Any animal that doesn't work well in its environment is doomed. We're in a world full of stellar survivors and basically nothing else.
It's crazy that I actually learned about the Hyenas reproducutive "uniqueness" in a batshit crazy ecchi anime called Ishuzoku Reviewers. Formerly review bombed to #1 anime of all time on MAL. 🤣
You weren't expecting poodles to be smart. Nobody does. It just goes to show how a bad haircut can make you look like a fool. They were herding dogs and very smart ones at that. The poodle haircut came from the fact that their owners who where often shepherds, would trim their naturally long and wild hair so that they wouldn't collect burrs and other nasty things while running around doing their job. The shepherds would just trim the hair using the same shears as they used on the sheep. Hence they ugly cut that poodles are known for.

That's the reason the standard poodle is so prevalent in circuses and talent shows. It's not the terrible poofy haircut for sure.
What a great video, i thought he had a lollipop until half way through haha
It's definitely less than 1%. You are right about that.
He has written a great book...100 animals that will fuck you up. Amazon has it, great read
Human childbirth is atrocious compared to other apes, because there are conflicting needs--- bigger head for the bigger brain, and narrow hips so you can walk upright. Those two make human childbirth among the most dangerous and painful of any, including the hyena.
Cheetahs aren't as nerfed as people keep claiming. I won't get into that, though. I'll just point out that the reason they can't roar, is that they can purr. Cats can either roar or purr, but never both. Purring may seem like a useless skill, but most likely has purposes we don't know of; in spite of what this list might make you think, evolution never gives up something useful, without getting something useful back. It's just that it doesn't give a 5h17 what if feels like to the individuals... Anyway, a benefit from purring that evolution never counted on, is that it's perfect for recruiting human allies; hearing and feeling the purr of a cheetah tends to stick with people in an entirely different way than roars (which also stick with people).
Fun fact we have the same amount of neck vertebrae as almost all mammals, which includes giraffes, elephants, and even whales.
The only 2 animals that i know of that have more are the sloth and the Manatee
Okay if Cheetahs are at " genetic bottleneck " , how would humans go about fixing that ?
2 out of 50,000 just sounds like they are all Sperm, and Gratz in the twins.
Fun fact, poodles were actually originally bread as bird hunting dogs. Also poodles are actually German dogs and not French like most people think.
I believe (without having fact checked it) that kiwis are native to New Zealand
I believe New Zealanders are called kiwis as well. The people, I mean.
I like the irony of no long intro but there's never a long intro lol
They say poodle dogs are smart, but I own 2 doodle mixes (half poodle dogs, one golden doodle, and a black labradoodle), and they are easily the two dumbest dogs I've ever known. I also have a GSD who routinely outsmarts both of them effortlessly.
Hey Wendy's is actually good .
I’ve had a bacon burger from there once. Not bad
The reason lettuce makes you tired is because it contains a chemical that is structurally similar to opium called lactucarium, aka lettuce opium/lopium.
JEFF was HERE
If you're surprised about poodles being smart, consider that they're actually hunting dogs. They are pretty much bred for the water and go after waterfowl. Although you might not know what these days because people treat them like cute accessories. 😅
I like your shirt. Where'd you get it?

'does it die' - one egg per female wouldn't last long.
Herodotus reported the same thing about female lions.
animals that are really slow like sloths and koalas live off leaves with low nutritional value. while maybe a bit less lazy, pandas have the same problem with bamboo.
Imagine/ humans didn't take the digital/tech/industrial way of life and instead embraced the natural world. Seems like a long time ago but it's really just a fleeting moment in our time. Something I love to think about, how old everything is. The space you take up has been there for all of eternity (or Earth as we know it). What has taken place on the soil im walking on, how everything has come to be. It's awesome.
For the octopus, 2 in 50,000 is equivalent to 0.002%
To answer your question about greens... yes. There is a reason we do green heavy diets. Your body honestly uses almost the entire carb value of a green just to process it. Even fulltime vegetarians know better than to just go with greens because you will not have any energy to spare on anything if you prioritize eatting leafy greens. Even less if you do not cook them.
🤣"2 out of 50000 is less than 1% "🤣🤣"someone Hubble check that math" 😭 I can tell you you're 100%right but that was the biggest understatement off the year
0.00004% in fact. And yeah, that's a pretty horrid survival rate.
You and this guy would be a good match
0.004 is the percentage of 2 octopuses out of 50,000
.004 or 4 one thousandths of a percent fir the octopus number.
1:11 yeah... poodles are extremally smart and relatively easy to train. They are a pretty solid dog...... Pits sre still my favorite tho lol
Love this guy. Found him from you.
He has a great channel!
All these weird animals, no matter how weak they look to us, have passed the test of time excellently. Any animal that doesn't work well in its environment is doomed. We're in a world full of stellar survivors and basically nothing else.
An Emily hurt him....
It's crazy that I actually learned about the Hyenas reproducutive "uniqueness" in a batshit crazy ecchi anime called Ishuzoku Reviewers. Formerly review bombed to #1 anime of all time on MAL. 🤣
Im a peacock you got to let me fly
You weren't expecting poodles to be smart. Nobody does. It just goes to show how a bad haircut can make you look like a fool. They were herding dogs and very smart ones at that. The poodle haircut came from the fact that their owners who where often shepherds, would trim their naturally long and wild hair so that they wouldn't collect burrs and other nasty things while running around doing their job. The shepherds would just trim the hair using the same shears as they used on the sheep. Hence they ugly cut that poodles are known for.
