- In this video I open and clean a jar of piranhas. I also tell the story of how Teddy Roosevelt went to Brazil and gave piranhas a terrible reputation for the rest of time.
Specimen use made possible by the University of Michigan Museum of Zoology - Наука та технологія
My biology teacher told us in highschool about his friend who had a pet Piranha. It acted like any other fish would and he would even put his hand in the water with the fish to show it wasn't a mean evil fish.
@@hnewc1919 easy to say we were in 9th grade biology class lmfao what did we know we were kids. I'll never forget when i learned they were just a "normal fish"
Yeah a lot of them actually eat fruits etc
They don’t go out of their way to attack humans,it’s normally fisherman who get bitten removing them from hooks
Even Jeremy wade jumped Into a river full of pirhanas and they all swam away
@@Uninterested69420 most pirana species are herbivores even!
Ya I used to have a pet piranha as well, good ol’ Gus, he was so nice and calm, just like any other old fish, Gus lived for like 11 years too ☺️
We had a pet piranha and my dad would pet it too.
Your editing and presentation is getting as fun and interesting as your animal facts!
amen, i love watching his content!!
Did he say that filming wasn't permitted in the herpetology area? For legal reasons? Could anybody maybe explain why? I don't get it.
Did you find out ?
I’m an aspiring marine biologist, and I just want to thank you for this content, not only is it super easy to digest but it’s extremely entertaining, one of the best videos I’ve seen recently, keep up the good work!
same here! id love to get into marine biology!! i hope to go to school again for it :) i love watching this content so much
As someone who has kept both redbelly and violet piranhas, I can confirm that they are not only extremely docile but will actually run and hide when you approach the tank. I actually get more nervous about losing a finger when I clean my Amazon pufferfish tank.
Love the videos! I’m curious, why is it illegal to record video in the Herpetology section?
I bet they have an alien in there or maybe the mark zuckerberg people and they don’t want us to know
I'm guessing it's because they have wet specimens of the lizard people who run the government, and the "higher ups" don't want us to know the truth.
It says there's two replies to this comment but I don't see em!
@@stuv1996 they were probably removed by the mods. I don't see 'em either
@@hnewc1919 bruh
You're honestly one of the reasons i wanna learn Biology again, like holy fuck?? A jar of piranhas???? Imagine if i owned that.. The kids i could scared 🌝
Years ago, I was at the woodland Park zoo in Seattle, and I happened to walk through the tropical fish and amphibians type area right as they were feeding the piranhas. I tell ya... the kids were SCREAMING. I just turned to my wife, and said "dang that trout got it's face ripped off and it's still choochin". Whichever zoo keeper decided to dump live trout in the piranha tank right as that gaggle of kids went by? They're my hero, it was some of the funniest stuff I've ever seen.
@@saml7610 That's fucking awesome 😆
HAHA same, his channel is why I'm going into zoology next year!!!
@@wonderbreadog strongly recommend against zoology from a career standpoint.
@@saml7610 || zoology makes me happy n that's what matters. not into it for the money (I know it's a low paying field depending on the work) I just love learning all there is to learn about animals and the environment! I know what's best for me ^^ /nm
This guy makes me wanna work in a similar field. Man it looks so much fun
10:21 I really thought it’d be harder for some reason😂
I didn't find it the first time so I searched the whole comment section and I found it/you thanks man
I actually used to have piranhas. Feeding them was always a fun time, but they were really calm otherwise. They were even afraid of us whenever we would clean the tank or get too close.
I wish that I could've stumbled across your channel when I was a kid. Would've given me inspiration, and led me down a different path in life. No use crying over spoilt milk, but at least I get to learn new and interesting things.
“It’s the weekend and, I DON’T HAVE A LIFE!”
Why is that so relatable?
You have a solid foundation (IMHO) to be a great science educator one day.. just in case you are not aware, we NEED educators! like You 🙂
this dude is unleashing his inner child
Curious about why you can't show that specific collection? I have some ideas, but would rather have confirmation versus assumptions. :)
Me too
Yeah im wondering that too, its herpetology i think, so im not sure whats in lawsuit territory
I too am curious. I had to google what herpetology was, because the "legal reasons" made me assume it had to do with human remains. But it's reptiles and amphibians, so now I just have even more questions.
@@TheToneBender Thats exactly what I thought too! There might be ongoing research or something and the specimens have to remain confidential or something
@@TheToneBender the institute of human anatomy shows cadavers so it wouldn’t be that
"This thing is from 1990---a really long time ago" 🤣 It smells.....*cough*. Loving this presentation style. The wide shots especially.
Love this video. Quick question: those rooms are huge, do you get any paranormal experiences when working alone? Any ghost animals? 😂
Or maybe take care extinct animals?...❤😂
I'm pretty sure you were on weird but true. My kids loved that show ! You and your sister were so fun to watch and informative!
Do you guys have a sunfish? It would be so cool if you did please show us!
The last time I hear about piranhas, they're like "popcorn chicken" of the American rivers lol
My buddy had Piranha’s in his garage where we would sit and get stoned, those boys ate every once in a while but when they did holey hell. Definitely preferred alive mice than dead
you’re genuinely hilarious and you make everything sound so much more fun and interesting! thank you keep up the good work:D
My brain: "pickles here, pickles there, pickle pickles everywhere". Sorry...I just got home from work. I'm tired😩
This is wholesome. Made me smile.
My guy, you have my dream job.
Also, fun fact, in Brazil, "piranha" doesn't refer just to the fish. It also serves as a slang word for a promiscuous woman, kind of like calling someone a hoe or something like that.
Hello Mr Biology guy, I'm kinda curious on why Herpetology section is a confidential one. I hope you give us a quick explanation for whatever the reason. Thank you!
Here I was thinking you’d hide the Wally far into the background when you literally put him behind the fish jaw for some seconds.
The wet lab sounds like a fun place
there's an exotic pet store near where i live, and theres a piranha for sale inside that's very friendly. they'll get excited and wiggle around at you if you approach the glass. so cute!
Fantastic video! This was a fun format, easy to understand, and educational. Can't wait for the next one
Oh man, I was very interested to see how you would react to your channel getting so much attention, and I am thoroughly impressed. This is your best video yet. Thank you for your work.
10:21 Found Waldo! What a fun story though, keep up the great videos!
I just love that the longer the video the more chaotic he is
I love the way this video is edited, its quite unique. And your voice adds to the experience a lot, it fits really well with your genre and editing style :))
You channels needs to be more recognized. Really good content, greetings from a 1st year Zoology student from Argentina
I have a question, why is the herpetology collection not allowed to be film? 🧐
Now this is getting wet and wild Haha
I commented too early. Also want to mention how GOOD this channel gets by the time. Started watching it for curiosity and the animal stuff, now not only that but also how entertaining you are Haha. Keep up with the good vibes
I love the vibes in this video. It feels like Rick and Morty in some spots and sitcom game show eighties things also
Damn, now I need an detailed description of the herbology collection
Same, what secrets does that space hold?
It's herpetology - amphibians and reptiles
Not sure why he couldn't show it though
We need more of these stories!
Look at him behave like kids in toy store are one of the most wholesome things in the world, thank you so much to being joy to us all
0:50 ah yes, the pickled fish video I was waiting for
Teddy Roosevelt was SUCH a hoodwinker!!!
I loved the vibe of this video! Keep up the good work!
I collect bones I find in nature and really really love your videos. So many times it's a fish. My fav is the crucifix bone I found one with a full snake shed once magick. Bless you and thank you again!
Really hitting the interdimentional cable vibes here, giving us the fix we needed since rick and morty season 2.
Now I want to learn 😭 I love your videos!
I love your energy!
"Now we are protected," he proclaimed with his lab coat wide open.
Wow, this changes my whole perspective on them.
Ah yes, time to process my lion. Thank you for reminding me.
Your channel needs to be recognized more I love your videos
Hi. Just found this interesting channel of yours a couple days ago. Watching some your videos and it’s really interesting. By the way.. can you make a video about cobra snake.. hope you have some of them on your collections. 👍
Omg I love your energy!
What's the biggest animal(s) you have?
And do you guys do taxidermy? Would love to see you actually prepare a lion
4:02 a jar full of very tiny bats is definitely something a witch would have.
I knew it was teddy Roosevelt that hoodwinked all these people. I'm a know it all. XD
i can't stop watching ur videos, they are very funny, entertaining, and educational at the same time. KEEP IT UP
lmao i love the editing on these videos
This was a really damn good video
You're so energetic but it's not obnoxious like other youtubers
Agree with your last sentence!! Never judge other thing based on someone else experience..
i was nervous you would drop something LOL. but seriously now, i would watch a 30 min episode of EVERY LITLE THING in that place, it would be like an open university
I love your content, keep being yourself on UA-cam it's amazing
This was super! and Waldo was present during the breem (bream?) demonstration.
helo odd, I'm a viewer from Brazil in the state of Amazonas, here piranhas have a bad reputation as well. the reality is they do attack people, but with an attack rate of only 50-80 people per year. as well as sharks that have a bad reputation but don't attack that much.
Yea, you're more likely to be attacked by dogs or livestock animals in comparison imo
My toxic trait is I want to be in a relationship with people I see on videos for like 2 secs.
I like theses cleaning story videos! I can clean and listen to a story
"Another room!" Sent me🤣🤣🤣
I’ve kept piranhas before, red bellies and black rhombus. They are very timid fish.
I love this videos.
I love this channel so so much. Oh and why wouldn't you use Ball jars, along with kilner they don't get much better as far as quality goes
My grandma's podiatrist had one in his office. I got to see it a few times. It was apparently very shy and wouldn't eat if someone was watching.
Awesome videos! Thx have a great day
I love your videos!
Yayyyyyy!!!!!!!!! i really wanted a tour! and this video satisfies that
Funniest museum related video I've ever seen. 12/10
You are the funniest!! Keep it up
When you say you have every animal ever, i always wonder if theres a huge tank with a lion in it lol!
blue whale jar !
Spent the whole time trying to find the Waldo😭 also you should do a mystery animal again some time!!
Super cool.
Man I love this guy
hi ive been having mental health troubles but watching your videos has always given me better days
ty friend 💓
Great video! Cannot wait to pick my son up from school to show him.
Very cool
I'm not a scientist by any means. I have a close friend from Brazil. He's from Sao Paulo and has family that lives in more rural areas around the Amazon. Fishing communities. From what I understand, there are numerous species of pirhana. The Amazon River is the most bio diverse amongst pirhana. Behaviors vary amongst all pirhana species. Although the pirhana's reputation is largely exaggerated, the locals from Amazonian regions are still cautious of pirhana. I thought that might be worth noting? 🤷♀️ If you go visit a new place, do as the locals do. Lol.
who's the madlad that found waldo?
10:22
turns out i was the madlad all along.
Cool!
I'm glad to find this channel
This guy deserves more views
I love this wholesome man 😌
I know he's a professional who works here and has permission to do all these videos for UA-cam, but it's just so much funnier to pretend that he's just some intelligent nerd who breaks in on the weekends and pretends it's his place.
He kinda is
He doesn't work for the archive
Very interesting
Now I really want to see the herpetology collection…
Love the echo ❤️😂
LOOKS LIKE THE COOLEST JOB IN THE WORLD! BROUGHT OUT THE KID IN ME.
Why are you not allowed to film the herpetology collection legally? Doesnt make any sense to me without some context :D even if we might not understand the context :D Anyways.. great video as ever!!
U are my favourite youtuber now
I've actually gone piranha fishing in the Amazon. Our guide had to go to the hospital when he got the tip of his finger bitten off demonstrating how they don't bite you if you stick your finger in the water. We used the old piranhas as bait to catch more. I was too big of a coward to try and eat one tho.
I knew them as Rooseveld nattereri. I owned several as pets. They mostly eat fish and the 2 times i tried feeding them beef they trew up after 20 minutes. Not much fun to clean a fishtank filled with a water /Piranha vomit mixture!
I never knew that I always heard of a battle that piranhas are not dangerous and piranhas are, so I guess I just learned now
