No wonder once existed a myth if barnacle goose actually born from tree bearing barnacles in the sea (barnacle geese only breed in Northern part of Europe so its make sense if people who living further south from Scandinavia never see nesting barnacle goose and assumed if they born from barnacle)
There's a reason for the names too. Centuries ago, before we knew about bird migration, Barnacle Geese were thought to spring from Goose Barnacles in a process known as 'spontaneous generation'.
Speaking of cannibalism, I remember being told in school that cannibalism in nature only happens in crisis situations. But that's not nature, that's human. Cannibalism is common in nature for multiple reasons. It's important not to apply a human view of morality on nature because it can lead to misunderstanding of the truth.
Exactly. Animals don’t have the same emotions or morals as humans do. Most of their behaviors are based on survival. We shouldn’t judge them as good or evil when they’re just trying to live another day.
That's why it's so ridiculous for people to compare us to animals, they live a completely different life than us in every way. No human being is born underneath volcanic ash and told from birth to simply "survive", every species has a code of morals and ethics that completely differ from our own, things like cannibalism and 🍇 are so widely common and accepted amongst others beings, unlike us. Humans and animals are only similar in the fact that we share some DNA, a planet, and some anatomy with each other, aside from that we are nothing alike.

hippos are herbivores so he was just feeling a little sociopathic. Edit: mostly herbivorous as they have been witness engaging in omnivorous behaviour, so says google.
Hippos don't eat the babies, they just vaporize them so there's less food competition. Hippos kill a lot of animals, sometimes just for fun, but they consume the bodies.
When I hear about the animals of Australia I am always reminded when Terry Pratchett had DEATH inquire about the harmless creatures in Fourecks, which was Discworld's version of Australia. POSSIBLY IT WOULD BE SIMPLER IF I ASKED FOR A LIST OF THE HARMLESS CREATURES OF THE AFORESAID CONTINENT? Finally Death reached up and caught the single sheet of paper. He read it carefully and then turned it over briefly just in case anything was written on the other side. “May I?” said Albert. Death handed him the paper. “‘Some of the sheep." 🤣
with headlines like "Venomous snake found hiding in school toilet cubicle", when I see one of their kids I'm like, aw I hope you're the one in your brood who gets to become a full-fledged Australian, little buddy. Nah, my country's the starting zone in terms of fauna.

I was so sad watching all this until you said "Baby birds are the potato chips of nature" I had the fastest mood-shift in the west and I'm laughing hysterically.
I went on a school trip to Costa Rica to study sea turtles in high school. In the village we stayed in, there had been a "curfew" of sorts implemented. On nights of the full moon during turtle season, lights had to be out once darkness hit. The turtles had been getting confused by the village's light, so the scientists working there had worked with the people to make this new rule. And since the people there loved their turtles, they were more than willing to oblige.
I also went to Costa Rica for school and it was such a breath of fresh air to see everyday people care about nature like they do and considering how beautiful the country is, I’m glad it’s being protected
Yeah, especially now with vaccines and plentiful food. Like, we don't realise that until 70-ish years ago when you had a baby, you didn't always expect them to make it to adulthood. Yeah, expecting your children to all survive is actually a luxury we have now. But even before that with how human lifespans, reproductive cycles, and pregnancy work it's always been in our best interest to take very good care of our young. Like, we can have 1 baby, maybe 2 on very rare occasions, roughly per year. Except that pregnancy and childbirth take a huge amount of energy and health out of mothers, so the baby-factory method is out of the question. And those harsh pregnancies I just mentioned? Yeah they're also a key reason we can't just grow until we're semi-competent inside mom like other animals; the human body just can't really withstand much more than 9 months. So that leaves us with 1 utterly helpless baby every couple years or so max, we've gotta raise that thing for years before it's even able to do anything close to feeding itself and if it makes it to adulthood it can live for decades. Thus humanity's gameplan for parenthood was simple: take VERY good care of that baby, keep dad and other family around to make sure mom stays alive while very pregnant and then recovering, and again, do everything you can to get that baby to the point it's grown enough to be capable.
@@StonedtotheBones13 true, but even then we didn't have litters, just a single child, rarely some twins or more, and despite not having the expectation that all our kids would make it to adulthood we still had far fewer than animals with similar mortality rates.

You missed one parenting tactic in particular that can be quite brutal. The American Coot will hatch a full nest of eggs, then proceed to favor the oldest ones while leaving the youngest ones to starve. They will even go as far to kill the younger chicks because they don't want to bother feeding them. Why? Because American Coots are also brood parasites. Other coots will lay eggs in the same nest, and the parents figure that the first chick to hatch is most likely theirs since its the oldest. This is strictly decided by age as well, there was a researcher that swapped the eggs or something in a nest and they still took care of the oldest chicks first.
I think one of my favorite meme images is: Humans: give birth to baby in a safe and comfortable home, protected by family Birds: let eggs hatch in a safe nest high away from predators Sea Turtles: FOR THE REPUBLIC!!!
Also a good mention is any chick unlucky enough to be spawned in the same nest as a cuckoo nestling. Cuckoos' first instinct is to spawn kill the competition in a nest
Don't forget that the cuckoo that laid the egg is most likely still watching over the nest and will destroy it if the owners realise that one of the eggs isn't theirs and they throw it out of the nest.
Thanks for explaining. I got distracted by how good the drink looks and wanting to order one but I didn't know the name. Then I thought somehow the crabs having copious amounts of it meant they were out on the beach stealing drinks and getting plastered😂
I owned guppies as a kid, and LET ME TELL YOU The second you need something called "baby grass" in your tank for when your fish are being born... yeah... those babies go through it Basically the adults canalize the babies. As a kid, we had to sometimes QUARANTINE guppies that were harassing birthing mothers. Needless to say, most children learn about death through goldfish, I learned about how surprisingly commonplace eating your young is in the animal kingdom...
So did I, but I've never been told about baby grass, what I did was manually catch each baby as it got born (and fast because I was scared the mom is gonna get to it first) and put them in a separate container. The first one I had birthed around 60. I continued to raise them and their lineage for a few more years. I'm 29 now and haven't had fishes for 15 years, but for some reason I still have regular fish-related nightmares, that's how much they traumatized me.
@@sweetgirl070707 Honestly, we just let nature run its course. Some babies made it to the grass and we raised them Worse thing that happened was when our snail... um... decided he wanted to be a slug...
The guy who got bit by the shark fetus, I completely understand. I used to work in a pig farm and when I'd help the mama pigs out during active labor, I'd get bit by the piglets I was trying to pull out. I had to train myself not to freak out when getting bit because it could hurt the mom if I yanked my hand out. In pigs it's a complete accident at least.
Heya C.G. I love you but I will not stand for slander : The bird you showed for the first part of the hooded grebe section, is actually the great crested grebe. They lay 1-6 eggs, mostly 3-4. They are pretty good parents and are capable off carrying most, if not all hatchlings, even diving with them like a little avian submarine. They are absolutely not known for leaving their brood behind; they are fiercely protective and territorial. I have a few breeding pairs around my house, and they'll usually end up with 2 juveniles that eventually make it into adulthood. 1-2 chicks are often lost either when rats steal eggs or hatchlings, or caught while diving by predatory fish. not much the parent can do against 1m pike or 2m catfish... Cresties are ferocious hunters, and the young start diving and hunting early, so they are bound to run into predators. Hooded grebes feed mainly on invertebrates, and breed in large colonies.
4:08 Imagine that hellish scene as on of those babys. Just so gargantuan version of the teaming hordes of yourself. It just standibg over you all, plucking up your fellow crabs at random with an emotionless hunger as it devours countless like yourself. Truely nightmare level stuff.
2:43 One of the saddest things I’ve ever seen IRL was when some Canada geese, who must’ve built a nest on top of the warehouse where I saw this, had to guide their three chicks to the ground. The roof of the warehouse was about 20ft off the ground, btw, and surrounded by a cement parking lot. First, the parents flew to the ground and called up to their chicks. The chicks hesitated before jumping to the ground one-by-one. The first two did not land gracefully but got up and walked to their parents. The third one hit the ground and did not get up. The parents walked over to it and stood there for 5 to 10 seconds before walking away, with the other two goslings behind them. When they had walked far enough away, I walked over to the fallen gosling and confirmed that it was dead. I was sad, of course, but would've felt worse if it been maimed and abandoned.
Just to say salt water crocs have it pretty bad too, especially in some parts of Australia, like the Adelaide river. From the nest to adult hood it’s around a 99% mortality rate and the mother and father have been know to eat there young just because they feel like it
I've come to understand that nature is indeed "bloody in tooth and claw" but it's to keep alive; it's not like the mom eats the baby because she's bored or impulsive; it's not a choice; the female has to survive to keep that genetic tree sprouting. Wow, I'm mixing some metaphors here. Very solid presentation of a very difficult subject!
@@YochevedDesigns Ya...I didn't hear him mention anything about any pythons during the video but there are clearly two pretty huge size ones in the picture right before the video ends.
To be fair to the Quokka, they have no (or at least, _almost_ no) predators on their island (Rottnest Island). Which is why they're not too bothered about the safety of their offspring, as well as have little to no fear of humans and are delightfully cute and curious of us.

Knowing that there's a Goose called a "Barnacle Goose" and a Barnacle called "Goose Barnacle" scratches an itch in my brain I never knew I had
No wonder once existed a myth if barnacle goose actually born from tree bearing barnacles in the sea (barnacle geese only breed in Northern part of Europe so its make sense if people who living further south from Scandinavia never see nesting barnacle goose and assumed if they born from barnacle)
😂
There's a reason for the names too. Centuries ago, before we knew about bird migration, Barnacle Geese were thought to spring from Goose Barnacles in a process known as 'spontaneous generation'.

Speaking of cannibalism, I remember being told in school that cannibalism in nature only happens in crisis situations. But that's not nature, that's human. Cannibalism is common in nature for multiple reasons. It's important not to apply a human view of morality on nature because it can lead to misunderstanding of the truth.
Sometimes we don't even have to be in a crisis situation to partake of the forbidden hamburger, sometimes we just become the crisis situation.
@@Tony-nt5zd Brain switch flip: Never seen walking talking hamburgers before...
Exactly. Animals don’t have the same emotions or morals as humans do. Most of their behaviors are based on survival. We shouldn’t judge them as good or evil when they’re just trying to live another day.
That's why it's so ridiculous for people to compare us to animals, they live a completely different life than us in every way. No human being is born underneath volcanic ash and told from birth to simply "survive", every species has a code of morals and ethics that completely differ from our own, things like cannibalism and 🍇 are so widely common and accepted amongst others beings, unlike us.
Humans and animals are only similar in the fact that we share some DNA, a planet, and some anatomy with each other, aside from that we are nothing alike.
Your point being...?

My mother put me on a bus by myself ( I was 11 ) when we lived in Michigan to go down to Texas to live with my uncle...

hippos are herbivores so he was just feeling a little sociopathic.
Edit: mostly herbivorous as they have been witness engaging in omnivorous behaviour, so says google.
Hippos don't eat the babies, they just vaporize them so there's less food competition. Hippos kill a lot of animals, sometimes just for fun, but they consume the bodies.
Despite the theme, I'm happy sand tiger sharks get mentioned. They are criminally underrated, imo, and my favorite sea pupper.

When I hear about the animals of Australia I am always reminded when Terry Pratchett had DEATH inquire about the harmless creatures in Fourecks, which was Discworld's version of Australia.
POSSIBLY IT WOULD BE SIMPLER IF I ASKED FOR A LIST OF THE HARMLESS CREATURES OF THE AFORESAID CONTINENT?
Finally Death reached up and caught the single sheet of paper.
He read it carefully and then turned it over briefly just in case anything was written on the other side.
“May I?” said Albert. Death handed him the paper.
“‘Some of the sheep."

I went on a school trip to Costa Rica to study sea turtles in high school. In the village we stayed in, there had been a "curfew" of sorts implemented. On nights of the full moon during turtle season, lights had to be out once darkness hit. The turtles had been getting confused by the village's light, so the scientists working there had worked with the people to make this new rule. And since the people there loved their turtles, they were more than willing to oblige.
That is really cool! :D
I also went to Costa Rica for school and it was such a breath of fresh air to see everyday people care about nature like they do and considering how beautiful the country is, I’m glad it’s being protected
Awwwwww that’s so cool! That brings me hope for humanity 🥹

What I'm getting from this is that on the whole, humans have a remarkably low infant mortality rate.
Yeah, especially now with vaccines and plentiful food. Like, we don't realise that until 70-ish years ago when you had a baby, you didn't always expect them to make it to adulthood. Yeah, expecting your children to all survive is actually a luxury we have now.
But even before that with how human lifespans, reproductive cycles, and pregnancy work it's always been in our best interest to take very good care of our young. Like, we can have 1 baby, maybe 2 on very rare occasions, roughly per year. Except that pregnancy and childbirth take a huge amount of energy and health out of mothers, so the baby-factory method is out of the question. And those harsh pregnancies I just mentioned? Yeah they're also a key reason we can't just grow until we're semi-competent inside mom like other animals; the human body just can't really withstand much more than 9 months.
So that leaves us with 1 utterly helpless baby every couple years or so max, we've gotta raise that thing for years before it's even able to do anything close to feeding itself and if it makes it to adulthood it can live for decades. Thus humanity's gameplan for parenthood was simple: take VERY good care of that baby, keep dad and other family around to make sure mom stays alive while very pregnant and then recovering, and again, do everything you can to get that baby to the point it's grown enough to be capable.
Well... Now. Ppl used to have 8 kids like regularly. Queen Victoria had 8 or 9 even tho she loathed pregnancy.
@@StonedtotheBones13 true, but even then we didn't have litters, just a single child, rarely some twins or more, and despite not having the expectation that all our kids would make it to adulthood we still had far fewer than animals with similar mortality rates.

You missed one parenting tactic in particular that can be quite brutal. The American Coot will hatch a full nest of eggs, then proceed to favor the oldest ones while leaving the youngest ones to starve. They will even go as far to kill the younger chicks because they don't want to bother feeding them. Why? Because American Coots are also brood parasites. Other coots will lay eggs in the same nest, and the parents figure that the first chick to hatch is most likely theirs since its the oldest. This is strictly decided by age as well, there was a researcher that swapped the eggs or something in a nest and they still took care of the oldest chicks first.
I think one of my favorite meme images is:
Humans: give birth to baby in a safe and comfortable home, protected by family
Birds: let eggs hatch in a safe nest high away from predators
Sea Turtles: FOR THE REPUBLIC!!!
14:27 Sun's out, guns out. 💪
Also a good mention is any chick unlucky enough to be spawned in the same nest as a cuckoo nestling. Cuckoos' first instinct is to spawn kill the competition in a nest
rude
They’ll just push the unhatched eggs out if the cuckoo can hatch early enough, which they often do
Don't forget that the cuckoo that laid the egg is most likely still watching over the nest and will destroy it if the owners realise that one of the eggs isn't theirs and they throw it out of the nest.

Seeing how bad some animals have it, makes me appreciate my own life. My life could've far worse if I was born as one of those animals
I owned guppies as a kid, and LET ME TELL YOU
The second you need something called "baby grass" in your tank for when your fish are being born... yeah... those babies go through it
Basically the adults canalize the babies. As a kid, we had to sometimes QUARANTINE guppies that were harassing birthing mothers.
Needless to say, most children learn about death through goldfish, I learned about how surprisingly commonplace eating your young is in the animal kingdom...
So did I, but I've never been told about baby grass, what I did was manually catch each baby as it got born (and fast because I was scared the mom is gonna get to it first) and put them in a separate container. The first one I had birthed around 60. I continued to raise them and their lineage for a few more years. I'm 29 now and haven't had fishes for 15 years, but for some reason I still have regular fish-related nightmares, that's how much they traumatized me.
@@sweetgirl070707 Honestly, we just let nature run its course. Some babies made it to the grass and we raised them
Worse thing that happened was when our snail... um... decided he wanted to be a slug...

The guy who got bit by the shark fetus, I completely understand. I used to work in a pig farm and when I'd help the mama pigs out during active labor, I'd get bit by the piglets I was trying to pull out. I had to train myself not to freak out when getting bit because it could hurt the mom if I yanked my hand out. In pigs it's a complete accident at least.
The camera doesn't justify the size and speed of a hippo, it is amazing and brown pants inducing at the same time

Heya C.G. I love you but I will not stand for slander : The bird you showed for the first part of the hooded grebe section, is actually the great crested grebe. They lay 1-6 eggs, mostly 3-4. They are pretty good parents and are capable off carrying most, if not all hatchlings, even diving with them like a little avian submarine. They are absolutely not known for leaving their brood behind; they are fiercely protective and territorial. I have a few breeding pairs around my house, and they'll usually end up with 2 juveniles that eventually make it into adulthood. 1-2 chicks are often lost either when rats steal eggs or hatchlings, or caught while diving by predatory fish. not much the parent can do against 1m pike or 2m catfish... Cresties are ferocious hunters, and the young start diving and hunting early, so they are bound to run into predators. Hooded grebes feed mainly on invertebrates, and breed in large colonies.
The fact we have to censor NATURE is kinda wild to me

2:43 One of the saddest things I’ve ever seen IRL was when some Canada geese, who must’ve built a nest on top of the warehouse where I saw this, had to guide their three chicks to the ground. The roof of the warehouse was about 20ft off the ground, btw, and surrounded by a cement parking lot. First, the parents flew to the ground and called up to their chicks. The chicks hesitated before jumping to the ground one-by-one. The first two did not land gracefully but got up and walked to their parents. The third one hit the ground and did not get up. The parents walked over to it and stood there for 5 to 10 seconds before walking away, with the other two goslings behind them. When they had walked far enough away, I walked over to the fallen gosling and confirmed that it was dead. I was sad, of course, but would've felt worse if it been maimed and abandoned.

Just to say salt water crocs have it pretty bad too, especially in some parts of Australia, like the Adelaide river. From the nest to adult hood it’s around a 99% mortality rate and the mother and father have been know to eat there young just because they feel like it
I've come to understand that nature is indeed "bloody in tooth and claw" but it's to keep alive; it's not like the mom eats the baby because she's bored or impulsive; it's not a choice; the female has to survive to keep that genetic tree sprouting.
