11 Types of Biomes and Their Animals (with Maps)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 вер 2021
- Biomes are collections of living organisms, all of which have evolved to exist in a specific climate. In the broadest sense, there are five main types of biome: Tundra, Forest, Grassland, Desert & Aquatic. What is now debated, is how to further characterise these biomes. In the late 1940s the botanist, Leslie Holdridge developed a matrix that included temperature and precipitation and lead to the further specification of each of these main categories. In this video, we'll discuss 11 types of biome and the animals found therein.

This video is an introduction to a series of videos called Relatives, exploring some of the most fascinating families in the animal kingdom. Here is the first video: All 40 Species & 8 Lineages of Wild Cats, Enjoy! ua-cam.com/video/cIJkTw9OeKQ/v-deo.html
Brilliantly made and I found it compelling viewing thankyou for this I would love too watch more.
Great and informative video but I did want to point out that koalas don't live just on the west coast of Australia, they live on the east coast too. When the NSW bushfires came many wild koalas died and that was on the east coast. Still a great video though!

I like this video. It explained biomes very well. I can report the biomes such as ;
1. Artic tundra biome
2. Antartic tundra biome
3. Alpine tundra biome
4. Boreal forest biome
5. Temperate forest biome
6. Tropical forest biome
7. Temperate grassland
8. Tropical grassland
9. Desert biome
10. Pond & lake aquatic biome
11. River and stream aquatic biome
12. Wet land aquatic biome
13. Ocean aquatic biome
14. Coral & reef aquatic biome
15. Estuarine aquatic biome.
I can mention them (the biomes) completely.
The devs really took their time with the game the amounts of detail is astonishing
A fellow Tierzoo fan?
@@CaraTheStrange the goat
Lolololollololoooloo
Yeah, but the current Meta is quiet bad balanced. Its mostly fine, but they sould buff Frogs, and completly remove Homon Sapiens.
@@Sunaki1000 Truee, the homo sapiens are sooo overpowered smh
I think the "aquatic biome" was cheated. In the sea alone there should at least be split into coral reefs, open ocean, deep ocean and shallows as base biomes. Then there's big rivers, freshwater lakes and saltwater lakes.
Absolutely agree! It's just the video was already 30+ minutes long so I had to choose to give a more broad overview, unfortunately. Thanks for the feedback
@@Textbooktravel you could have just focused on land and then give aquatics their own video in a part 2 cause yeah they have their own biome aswell, it's not land is just land biome. but I did love the video and recognize all the work and research that went into it so thank you once again man.
@@Textbooktravel I'm pretty sure this is one of "those videos," you could've made it a few hours long and no one would mind lmao
also the intertidal zone!
Sea mounts & black smokers too!
I discovered this Channel today and I can't stop binge watching every video here, the quality of the content is incredible, and the videos are well made. I look forward to how this channel will fare in the the next months, if it continues to dish out content like this, reaching a million subscribers would be easy peasy. Thank you for the good videos.
I did the same. I hope they post more stuff soon.
Exactly, props to this guy for actually doing his research and being knowledgeable
Meeetoooo
Ez pz
@@dacrosber unfortunately he’s off on a lot of these facts. The most obvious one being that wood bison don’t stand 11 feet tall. It’s actually closer to 6 feet.
I look forward to seeing this channel grow! Keep this up, and you'll go far with this.
Thank you!

*shows cute fluffy arctic fox squinting*
Great video but it is a huge mistake to call jellyfish cepholopods, jellyfish are way more related to corals and anemones than to mollusks like squid and snails
Thank you for the feedback, Brent! I'm making a real effort to improve the accuracy of the vids so appreciate all of the feedback in the comments
I'm just now seeing this video and made the same comment.
Also when he says "other whales" as predatory behaviour of the orca, implies that an orca is a whale but they are actually Delphinidae
To add to that, Cephalopods have three layers of tissue while jellyfish only have two, and two openings to their digestive tracts while jellyfish only have one
@@lepalmero they're the largest dolphins. It's actually a pretty fun fact when you think about it.
Great video and hereby subscribed! It is helping my covid-isolation... 4 comments
1. Koalas are not exclusively to the west coast of Australia - they are also in the east
2. Isn't steppes pronounced "steps"
3. Can you do whales or sharks/skates/rays next?
4. Another idea for a video could be to look at unique islands like Borneo, Madagascar, Australia...
The way he pronounced steppe really bothered me
Yes, they got the koala section wrong: Koalas were introduced to the West coast in the 1930's.... they're only native to the East coast, which is where they remain most abundant.
Thank you for the feedback, Alex! Yes! I have a video on sharks planned very soon. I just looked up the pronunciation of steppe and you're totally right, thank you!
Thank you! And keep up the great work

This topic is an extremely difficult one to do while still being concise. You did a wonderful job at providing the basic idea of what makes each biome unique while making it clear further grouping exists within each one. Well done!
If you continue with uploading videos with this type of quality, you will get many subscribers in the future. Keep up the good work!
Thank you!! I really appeciate that
Dude these are some great videos, im binging all of them, keep up the amazing content 👍🏼
so glad I found this channel!!!! one of my favorites and I'm already learning so much
Incredible stuff! Such a great video. Quality of the images were amazing too. Subscribed after 5 minutes.

You are going to make a lot of people happy ...me included...with this content. It's like the series of nature books from my childhood . perfect and beautiful!! .. beautiful work 🙌👏👏👏👏
I have already watched all of your videos, the quality is stunning, not only your voice is amazing, but the footage is awesome, keep it up dude, great work
As a nature nerd and conservationist at heart, I truly appreciate this video and how in depth it was. I pretty much knew most things, but it was very informative and I definitely learned some new things. Great video
Thank you!
@@Textbooktravel No problem! Keep up the good work
THIS WAS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SATISFYING!!! You’ve earned a subscriber because of this!
Incredible content ☺️......after browsing thousands of videos for world biome, I came across to this video.... honestly speaking..... such an incredible video with different chapters .....all the bioms are well explained , very useful for teachers,students and travellers.
So much amazing information packed in a single video. It should've more views and likes.
Good luck with this channel!
You’re going to do great
This video is very educational and well put together. I love the images and the fact that it does a good job both of representing a diverse representation of species while also indicating commonalities and patterns. It is also fairly accurate, just a few biome definition comments I would add;
Tundra is defined by the existence of permafrost.
Desert is a term for areas with low annual precipitation and is not dependent on heat. The tundra is an example of a cold desert.
Tropical rainforest is a different term than tropical forest or rainforest. Rainforest is determined by annual rainfall and not location. The Pacific northwest has several rainforests. Tropical forest is a nonspecific term as tropical does give a location but 'forest' implies it is different from a rainforest. Tropical rainforest is a specific term for an area in the tropics that is also a rainforest.
Marine biomes do exist but are generally referred to as zones, and are sadly generally grouped together. Intertidal, photic, abyssal, arctic, tropical or warm water just to name a few.
Keep in mind that there are many definitions for biomes, but I think the above reflects the more common scientific definitions.
The Pacific Northwest has specifically temperate rainforests that range all the way into Canada.
I love this channel. Keep doing what you’re doing brother
You started out with two of my very favorite critters in existence - the snow owl and the snow leopard! ❤❤❤❤
Great video, well done, and with absolutely stunning visuals!
This video is really helpful in developing my game for a speculative evolution open world. Thank you!
Please tell me when you make it
Are you a developer/comp scientist?
Keep doing awesome Nature Videos man, Love your work.
I’m a big taxonomy nerd, and also love classifying and categorizing things besides animals. I don’t know whether that’s a good thing, but for me it’s fun and a way to understand how things (like chemical elements, say) relate to each other-how they’re similar and how they differ. So I really enjoyed this video!! Thanks as always for the effort you put into making it.
Carolus Linnaeus binomial nomenclature. Took zoological systematics. Learned categorization of All animals.
Keep growing forward 🤗 I deff support your channel ‼️
These videos are helping me with quitting weed by not boring me half to death and falling back into the habit so thank you 🙂
you neglected to mension the norwegian blue parrot, it often looks like it's dead when it's stunned or shagged out so people think that theyre endangered. terrific plumage. they can talk better than a slug!

Just came around you’re channel! Subscribed after the first video bro
Hopefully you gain attention more soon! I love videos like this they are so entertaining. You deserve it.
He’s off on a lot of facts unfortunately. I’ve been trying to get his attention lmao
Addicted to this Chanel - appreciate the knowledge brother.
great video and informative video, will defo watch more
Amazing video! Because you've been saying you appreciate the feedback, I'd like to add that Elephant Seals are not only in the waters surrounding the Antarctic. You can find them as far north as Alaska, and their breeding grounds are on the coats of California, and Mexico.
So far, the best video I've found of yours. One correction; the Walrus is actually the third largest Pinniped as the Northern Elephant Seal would be the second largest after the Southern Elephant Seal.
I need this for worldbulding. Helped a lot. Thanks man
What are you writing?
I love looking at an animal and going "oh THAT'S where they got the Pokemon idea" those marbled polecats look exactly like a zigzagoon. It's kind of scary.
Found this channel today love it
awesome vid m8
I love your vidoe but i think everyone forgets to talk about "the bush". Very confusing region because its almost woodland but that of dry climstes. Southern africa and Australia and India are typical examples of regions where you would find "the bush" . Very dry and drought prone but becomes lush when rain hits. Very rich in game espically in Zimbabwe/ Botswana/ south africa and india the bush is always brushed under the "savana" type area.
Thank you Emille! You're right, I'm finding it difficult to work out exactly how much detail to go into on these videos and the best length. At some point I plan to do individual biome videos so I will cover each in more detail. Thanks for the feedback
@@Textbooktravel for these overview videos you should keep them to a maximum of 25 to 30 minutes
Then if a subject has particular interest you can do a more specific and possibly longer video on that subject alone
Super cool had to subscribe
Best amongst videos around this topic
Kind of a map nitpicking but there's also temperate forests and prairies in Mexico
Amazing Video going to subscribe and watch the rest of your videos
Thank you so much, Muhammad!
Fun Fact: The Lion King is not correct, it pretty came up with the hyenas stealing lion’s food thing. Hyenas are extremely skilled hunters, due to their incredible endurance. Lions tend to struggle a bit more, and often eat their leftovers.
And they hunt in packs
You should have noted that dromedaries are not native to Australia. They were introduced there in the late 19th C. and feral populations became hugely successful.
EDIT: jellyfish are NOT cephalopods, which are mollusks, but belong to an entirely different phylum altogether, the Cnidiria, which includes corals and sea anemones.
To add to that, Cephalopods have three layers of tissue while jellyfish only have two, and two openings to their digestive tracts while jellyfish only have one.
One of the best youtubers by far watch ur videos isn't a time waste at all u giving the knowledge of nature keep it up !there are many UA-camrs who just make jerk content for subs but u are different
29:15 .... jelly fishes are a part of cnidaria. Please don't confuse it with cephalopods . Other than this mistake fantastic video .
I was looking for this because I had to stop the video at that point. Cnidaria is a completely different phylum from what cephalopods are in, Mollusca.
Jellyfish were mistakenly called cephalopods in this video. They are Cnidarians, the same group that has sea anemones and coral.
I enjoy your videos. informative and entertaining
Very informative! Thankyou!
Keep up the good work!
Love your content mate
This was a great video exploring the biome world! However I noticed you focused a lot on north American species, which makes sense but I was wanting some more talk about other continents animals. (I'm mostly making this comment to boost the algorithm, but disagree with me if you want)
Yea noticed that he focused almost solely on the northern hemisphere
Haha! Thank you for the feedback! I plan on delving into the individual biomes at some point so I will be more careful in my selection for those videos
@@jason9996 he focused on Africa a good bit. South America as well.
little nitpick: koalas are on the east of Australia not the west
wow thank you for infomation , also you deserve more subscriber
You know youve been playing too much Minecraft when you thought this was just a RTX minecraft video
Very informative and awesome clarity ❤
But one Suggestion Please Put time stamps for different types of biomes, It will be really helpful.
Awesome video man
The koala is found in coastal areas of mainland Australia’s eastern and southern regions, inhabiting the states of Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, and South Australia. Thus, the koala aren’t found in western Australia.
An overly detailed video I so much needed! Thank you
As someone extremely interested (obssessed, prehaps) with Herpetology, your videos are lots of fun and quite informative! Suscription from me!
Goodness, I hate being “that guy”, but…..
Jellyfish aren’t Cephalopod.
I think it’s important to be accurate in science and nature videos. Cudo’s to you for making this video, I never could do such a good job.
Thanks, George! I coudln't agree more, I'm trying to be as accurate as possible but there is so much information out there and I'm learning as I go. I think it's important that people point things out if I get them wrong so thank you for commenting
@@Textbooktravel They're actually more closely related to anemones and corals! They belong to the phylum cnidaria.
I noticed that the tadpoles in 33:10 were actual catfish fries but the information was on point
Awesome video dude
aahhh, I can't wait for more uploads from you!!
29:15 Jellyfish are cnidarians, not cephalopods, but I'd love to see a more in-depth vid on the ocean biomes or even a breakdown of the Köppen climate biomes.
Ah yes. Ending it on leeches and crabs. It's like eating a delicious meal and the last bite is burnt/bony/nasty.
Incredibly fascinating documentary on the biomes! Hope to get a plant version soon
Thank you so so so much ❤🎉 I’m teaching biomes in G5, and this is absolutely amazing and excellent
Love your channel
That turtle walking towards that croc's mouth is now R.I.P
This is very interesting to learn!
Yes it is, but he’s a little off on some of the things he’s saying, but not everything
NOOO i think you forgot about temperate coniferous forest. Longleaf used to cover 90 millions acres of the south but great video anyway
great video, but you skipped Mediterranean evergreen forests, caves and omitted Central and Eastern European steppe
Wow, you cover a lot of territory in this video. Thank you.
Thank you, George!
@@Textbooktravel Not sure if you misspoke or if the research was flawed, but koalas are endemic to the East coast of Australia, though there are small populations of introduced koalas on the West coast.
Just discovered this channel looking for inspiration for my d&d campaign!!
Great video 👍👍
Amazing video!!!!!
I feel like there should be more biomes for the aquatic environment. Freshwater can be streams, rivers or huge lakes, which significantly affects the fauna. And both fresh and saltwater are subjected to climate, a freshwater lake in canada is completely different from a freshwater lake in africa. Although this video focuses on land, i would love an equivalent video for aquatic species! Good video!
An interesting and good video about Biomes.
Thank you so much for putting the measurements in a way that an American like me can understand. Pounds and feet instead of litres and meters
Its really helpful.
Great video! However the statement at 32:48 that the River Otter is the largest weasel didn't sound right since the Sea Otter is heavier. Checking, I find the Wolverine is considered the largest weasel.
I agree, also wood bison definitely don’t stand 11 feet tall lmao
Nice explanation and good accent, this helped me in my 11th Geography. Thank you
Great video and videos in general but I spotted a mistake, jellyfish are not cephalopods.
this game has a huge map! i'd love to explore it but i think my character is glitched, he never leaves his starting zone
Try the "making friends" strategy and make a plan to visit other players on your server.
The koala is found in coastal areas of Australia’s eastern and southern regions, inhabiting Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, and South Australia. Thus, Koalas don’t live on Australia’s west coast.
Make this into a series? But go into more detail
If you're looking for koalas on the west coast of Australia then you're probably about 1,000 km outside of their range.
Incredible video!
One little detail- jaguars range from mexico to the Pantanal in Brazil, not the Amazon. A lot of great footage of jaguars hunting caiman is from the Pantanal, where the biggest jaguars are.
Otherwise, I have loved binging all your videos and hope to see a lot more!!
Actually Jaguars used to range from the south west US all the way down to Argentina, but now they are almost strictly confined to the rainforests of the Amazon Basin, and as you said, the Pantanal Wetlands.
There are still small populations of Jaguars in Mexico, down to Argentina, however, the largest concentration of Jaguars resides in the Amazon Basin.
Really enjoyed it, but with wordwide used (metric) units, it would be even more useful.
wow found this channel before 10k subs, never been this early before
He’s off on a lot of these facts, hes going to be exposed if the channel grows unfortunately
koalas are most definitely not “found solely on west coast of australia”.
You should do one on elephants next
using these videos as inspo for my planet zoo habitats >:)
Excelent video!!!!
Thanks, V! 😊
He’s actually off on alot of these facts unfortunately
Love this type of videos. I'll suggest adding a pinned comment or a part of the description that clarifies any mistakes you've made. You could also redo the vid but meanwhile I think the first option is more feasible 👍🏻
He didn't make enough mistakes to warrant a redo. Clarifying in the comments would be nice, but he made maybe 10 mistakes, most of them very small.
In addition, meercats may tackle the occasional scorpion.
Boreal Forest dips into the Northwestern US too in Washington, Idaho, Montana, and Oregon.
