As an Aussie it intrigues me about how people from other countries go on about how scary our spiders and snakes are when they have full on bears in their forests.
Those are the animals most likely to grab you by the meat & two veg while you're sitting on the john.
Those animals kill more often than bears do, there’s more of them than bears, some would say bears are cute, and it’s only really the Grizzlies and polar bears you have to look out for.
(That and TBF spiders are weird in that the scarier, big hairy ones are harmless while the smaller ones have a small chance of being lethal.)
As an Aussie I would rather go camping in Australia than forests in America that have bears. I've heard to many horror stories from bear attacks which evolved campers, hikers etc.
Another Aussie, and can concur. I live in an area with saltwater crocs, and it always amazed me when Americans get terrified about how we can live near these animals. Thing is, if you keep out of the water, no croc will get you. Bears, however, will get you while you are out walking your dog in the "woods"...
@@generaldissatisfaction5397 The local black bears are more of a danger to the trash bins and to pets than they are to people. People are more dangerous to bears than bears are to people as well. Bears sometimes get hit by cars on lonely roads on dark nights out in forested areas.
I still remember watching as a little kid a documentary about the Short-faced bear that stuck with me to this day. It had a very silly fight between the bear and a Ground sloth that veguely resembled a boxing match.
Yeah it was oddly memorable considering how bad it was. Who knows, maybe one day we'll get a documentary about the largest specimen of Arctotherium augustidens, a very large, old male with numerous injuries sustained throughout his life.
@@natebrodeur1765 I don't think Prehistoric Predators was that bad, sure it had repeated footage a lot of the time but then again other TV documentaries did that before like The Most Extreme on Animal Planet.
@@kylecollier7569 Yeah that was it. I loved it as a kid even now I would not call it bad just standard for the time.
@@theicepickthatkilledtrotsk658 yeah I know what you mean. I miss the days when Animal Planet was exactly what it was actually about until they took down all those fun, educational, and silly programs like Planet's Funniest Animals or The Jeff Corwin Experience or even the OG 4 seasons of Meerkat Manor (though admittedly season 3 was pretty dark because of the deaths in that season as we all know why) in 2012.
Bears have an amazing sense of smell. They can detect prey and carrion from miles away. It is one of their most important survival adaptations.
@@freightshayker Bears are tanky animals that often steal kills from other predators. They come up on a kill after another large animal has expended the energy to take down the prey and run the killer off and eat the food with less effort. The bears that could smell food more quickly and easily could find it faster, eat more, put on weight and were able to survive their rather rough mating season to have more offspring which carry the trait for a better sense of smell. The trait was naturally selected along with the bears' other successful survival traits, such as being big omnivores with a long reach and a scary maw.
@@freightshayker Ohhhh! You're one of THOSE evolution deniers. Pumpkin, human beings and modern apes had a common ancestor, that yes, was an ape. Modern apes will not evolve into human beings, they will evolve into a more derived apes. Just like dogs will not evolve into foxes, even though they both have a common cainid ancestor. Will modern apes evolve into a more derived form that has some of the same traits as human beings? Possibly, but that would depend on what kinds of environmental pressures the species encounter over time and if a population can survive those pressures. We don't have a great track record on that score. That would then be convergent evolution, like penguins and cormorants...or like bears and wolverines! If you're going to swim in the big kids pool, try to be civil. If you can't be, go back to the baby pool but don't pee here.
4:30 I don’t question it because the Koala exists and makes the Panda look like the ultimate lifeform by comparison.
“Only trained accredited rangers are allowed to hold a koala. This is a sensible law as it protects koalas from being stressed because a human wants to give it a hug”
Lol. I can’t think of many bears have that problem. You’ve definitely failed at bearhood if humans want to hug you.
I only recently found your channel. Your videos are really well put together, straight forward visuals and even though you are a fast talker the narration is very clear. Your early video on the different branches of the mammal family tree was also really good.
I love and appreciate the fast narration…when a narrator speaks too slowly, I find it hard to concentrate, especially if there aren’t subtitles to string the words together more closely. People say it’s relaxing but it just frustrates me
maybe it's bc i also talk fast but i thought he was just talking normal speed lol
Was waiting for you to cover bears, as they are one of my favorite groups of mammals! They're such cool and interesting animals that can both be cute and terrifying haha! (And funny if you find the right videos.) Also damn, was not expecting the complete and utter destruction of panda haters when discussing them. That was legendary lmao. Great video as always, but I wonder if you'll do seals next. Would like to see you cover them and talk about their prehistoric relatives like Pontolis and Pelagiarctos!
It was a great video. One fact I wish he would have included was that bears are cannibals
@@MastemaJack Ehh, don't think it's that needed to be said, since most animals will resort to cannibalism in dire situations.
@@MastemaJack Okay? Still don't think it is something to bring up in a video talk about bear evolution, as he never done it in any of the others. Feels out of place here and is better suited for someone like Casual Geographic to bring up.
Would be cool to see an evolution of horses to continue looking at the large mammals
@@alansujansky8591 I've seen that one but I just want to see how he does after seeing the Tapan video
im so glad i got to grow up with bears
I agree calling any animal "stupid" for adapting to a particular lifestyle makes no sense. I do think it's sad though that so many other endangered animals are usually snubbed in terms of conservation money in favor of the giant panda, which is almost certainly going extinct in the not-too-distant future. I wish people would realize that just because an animal isn't cute and cuddly doesn't mean it's not ecologically important to conserve. Still gonna be a sad day when we lose pandas though :(
It is called charismatic species, conservation for charismatic species would protect their natural habitat in turn protect everything where they supposed to live. This is a well known conservation tactic, this is why animals like Elephants, Tigers, Rhinos etc... are the faces of conservation even if white rhinos are plenty in the wild. They have wide ranges and they protect many species in turn. A real example would be Tiger reserves in India, despite having billion people that needs resources, they managed to protect large pockets of forests for tiger habitat because tigers are charismatic.
There’s multiple factors that make pandas stupid mind you, they don’t really care about their offspring, they aren’t very cute, they’re mean, and I don’t think it’s fair that he’s calling people who simply dislike a species of animal fat :/
And I know most species are essential for environments but honestly besides cutting down on bamboo spreading what do pandas do
@@saphire1sababy378they’re cute so they are the poster child for conservation efforts. Easier to gain support if people think cute animals are threatened, unfortunately.
@@RsFrag3d idk why people find them cute tbh but I guess so, there’s so many other cute animals it could be though. I still dislike that he is just going on about how people are fat dumb people just bc they dislike a certain animal. It’s very weird.
Never stop these videos please. They really are the unique part of UA-cam only one person is doing. Looking forward to seeing evolution of humans, minks( wolverines/weasels), and birds
Honestly more bear videos, they're the best!
Plot twist: Polar bears feed on seals and walruses because they shared a common ancestor.
"Polar bears feed on seals and walruses because they shared a common ancestor."
- not reality, though
It’s like Africans in Congo eating chimpanzees as bushmeat even though over 98% of our genome is shared with chimps/bonobos. And in turn it’s like me eating my neighbor across the street and not in the good way… lol
A Panda's diet isn't actually that poor and contains about the same amount of protein as most other bears.
This is due to the fact that they eat different parts of the plant at different times of the year.
Plus from what I've heard, Bamboo is a fast growing plant species( a type of Woody grass?) So the Pandas have food that doesn't take months or years to grow like a tree.
I would like to see the evolution of mustelid family👀
and thank you for this video too!
Longer videos please I love your content
Me: is that you?
Bear: yes, but that picture was a long time ago
Kolopnomos be looking like a weird ass capy
That part about pandas felt personal lol 😂
Yeah it hurt :( I was enjoying the video till he decided to call people who don’t like pandas fat lazy people
One thing I’ve noticed about pandas is because of their herbivorous bamboo diet they’ve unfortunately ended up in the prey category along with other herbivores like sheep and zebras and are frequently hunted by snow leopards clouded leopards wolfs and surprisingly asiatic black bears.
Poor cuddly bamboo eaters I send them all my love to them as they after all are my fav animal plus animal origins if your seeing this comment then I suggest you atta make a video about the pandas subfamily in greater detail it would be amazing for everyone like myself great job dude you rock😉👍
Not really.. only when they are infants or not yet fully grown.
"Although adult giant pandas have few natural predators other than humans, young cubs are vulnerable to attacks by snow leopards, yellow-throated martens,[76] eagles, feral dogs, and the Asian black bear. Sub-adults weighing up to 50 kg (110 lb) may be vulnerable to predation by leopards.[" wiki
I love how the video was chill and halfway through he decided destroy the whole carier of reddit users😂
I loved your defence of the panda.
Joe rogan: heavy breathing
Do You continue with new videos?
4:50 This confirms that the narrator is a panda the whole time!!!
I just 🤎 BIG BRUTAL BROWN #BEARS🐻 & 💛 all your videos mate👍
I want to caption your videos!
How do i do that?
I’d like to see a video on the evolution of emus/kiwis.
“First, that’s really mean to Pandas.” 🤣🤣🤣
Bears are great, I really like bears.
It's only in the last couple of years that scientists have descoverd something about the bamboo panda's eat. They descoverd that not all bamboo is the same in it's taste and nutrition. They also descoverd many other thing's about why the animals behave in certain ways. It's because of certain bambo shoots that are growing differently. It's also in other food Stuffs. It's fascinating insight into the relationship between food and every living creature on the planet. It's a thin line that devides us.✌🏾✌🏻
4:51 - Shots fired.
I can’t wait
5:45 good god it’s a Rune Bear
so they are giant seal dogs basically is what i took from this video
Awesome video 😍😍😍😍
Bears are just that awesome on the food chain.
No wonder some bears look like dogs
wonder what would happen if a kodiak and a polar mated?
A grolar bear is what would happen! They're similar in size to both, and can look more grizzly like or polar like depending on the individual.
@@Gayacegunslinger Not by name, though. Grolar is specific to a grizzly hybrid. Kodiaks are not grizzlies, both are brown bear subspecies. It could be Kolar or Podiak!
what bear species went extinct in Mexico? I know about the Californian bear that went extinct, Ursus Arctos Californicus, but I did not know about a Mexican Grizzly bear
Arctotherium Angustidens, Megistotherium, and Barinasuchus need more attention as the largest Cenozoic land carnivores.
seeing many of these beasts in person at the zoo... they are legit terrifying in person. like 10x of a big dog
I thought I would be terrified of the bears when I went to the zoo as a kid but I ended up playing rock paper scissors with a grizzly and losing 😭
You should credit the music you use. I don't think all of it is royalty free because I swear I hear Touhou remixes being played in your outro lol
Awesome, thanks 🙏
Great video. Thank you! I'm subscribing.
Bear keep bear in check. Not man. That always makes me respect them even more when I think about how cute they are. Real cute till there eating you alive, bears love to eat their prey while it’s alive, it’s what they do.
I've heard the same. Heck they showed that bear taking down a buffalo. I've also seen a video of a bear running uphill - gaining speed. Yea, I think I'll continue to stay out of their area if I'm only carrying 357.
4:51 that was lethal 😂
Suggestion for the next one: Mustidelae
7:37 bro was just chillin
Love the thumbnail ;)
I like the asian Sloth and sun bear. Your videos are great man.
This video is a shot of light to the false idea that Pandas are idiots, they are not idiots, they are unique... and they have a low metabolism.
🎵Foxes, Wolves & Red Panda
all share the same relations,
From Bears to Skunks & Walrus,
they all spread from speciation.
What's a word to class them all?
It's Caniformiacatuon.🎵
Cuteness is very powerfull evolutionary adaptation - flowers, butterflies, etc. Just count how many wolfs are today and how many corgis - who is winning?
Panda evolved to be protected by apes - cool adaptation)

can you do the evolution of invertebrates?

“U R sus”!
Did you know there were bears in Africa up until pretty recently?
I kind of wish fantasies (western/anime) would use more prehistoric animals as apart of the ecology. some of these would be cool animals "parallel world" animals that are actually real and tricks you into learning about real animals.
I like to call the extinct ursavinae subfamily "musteloid-like bears"
The Ursine Princes approve this video.
Do man bear pig next
Ehh no. Pandas being dependent entirely on one food source is not a good thing and never will be. It makes them too dependent and completely unable to adapt when something inevitably kills off their single food source. They were doomed to extinction the moment they took on that food source. Its just a matter of when
The reason pandas are going extinct is because female pandas only ovulate when they watch male pandas fight, so they are only fertile if they watch two male pandas fight over them. Since most pandas live in zoos now where males are seporated to stop them from fighting the females dont ovulate and as such they dont breed anymore.
The problem with pandas is humans, not their food source. They existed for millions of years on bamboo and were fine.
I like your videos
Quality! Bears are awesome!
can you do evolution of the frog
Hot69: Pandas are stupid! They deserve to go extinct!
Delta Juliet: So are humans. What is your point? 😐
Hot69: 😰
I think pandas are just over specialized. Not really a bad thing but it does make them very vulnerable to change, which we tend to cause. Also pandas are cute so leave them alone, they're doing their best
Why don’t you get to think of a suggestion and creating a UA-cam Videos all about The Evolution Of The Hyenas on the next Animal Origins coming up next?!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍👍👍👍
Can we get a kangaroo evolution video
Those who think that pandas are stupid because they eat bamboo sticks have not understood what evolution is. Many carnivorous animals they evolved into omnivores and then into herbivores, and other way round. Pandas didn't become vegetarians out of laziness but to survive. One example is Darwin's sloth, an ancient (and huge) cousin of modern sloths, which ate meat. While modern sloths eat sprouts and fruit.
🎶Foxes, Wolves & Red Pandas all have the same relation,🦊
🐻Skunks & Bears & Racoons all derived from speciation,🐼
🦝What they have in common I call Caniformiacation.🐺🎶
Cool... I love this shyt!!!
I found this beary interesting. I had to paws the video many time to absorb the info. Bears ursa-ch fascinating animals. (I hope I'm not black now. That would be un-bear-able.) Ok, ok. Enough panda-ering.
Pandas are truly odd but they were doing well until humans starting hunting them
So bears are woodland seals.

His typical response to criticism is to entirely ignore it and blindly regurgitate the same or other taxonomic nonsense, usually beginning 'Actually...'.

1. Note that Reno stubbornly omits the giant panda as a bear at all; a topic decided long ago following genetic analysis confirming their relatedness and ancestry.
2. He erroneously lists subspecies as distinct species; Melursus inornatus, Helarctos indochinensis, Helarctos euryspilus, Euarctos emmonsi, Euarctos cinnamomum, Euarctos kermodei
3. 'Euarctos' is an invalid genus name, (it's Ursus).
There are EIGHT (not 15) extant bear species in FOUR (not 5) genera, as follows
4. His listings for Ursus are a complete cow pat disaster; just ignore it all, it's a disgrace.

Pandas are the feral ancestors of bears domesticated by pre-humans.
They has a cave bear religion and trapped and caged bears for so long they became pandas.

I am very offended :/ I was enjoying these videos but you didn’t have to call me fat just for disliking pandas, I just don’t like them and they’re kinda dumb I mean besides their diet and deciding to live in an area with very limited food they also don’t care about their children and are mean and aren’t even that cute, it’s just an opinion it doesn’t mean I’m a fat lazy hater :( I’m generally nice and I’m not fat I’m in the weight range I’m supposed to be in and I don’t hate just to hate, I just happen to dislike pandas 😒
