"The only difference between Fiction and Real-Life is that Fiction has to try and make sense"
I love this. 😄
So that's why "realistic" movies feel so unrealistic, cuz the reality they were based on is absolute bullshi-
So true
Wow , that comment gives me pause for thought . I think you've explained the true & entire meaning, of the dynamics of Real Life vs. Fiction...
1. Real Life : You can't make that **** up!
2. Fiction: Somebody made that **** up!
Thank you.
I knew spiders could "fly" due to the original Charlotte's Webb movie (the one from like, the 70's). In the movie, after Wilbur is heartbroken over Charlotte's death, she had tasked him with caring for her egg pouch. He does, but then to his horror, the spiders he had hoped would become his friends spit their silk and are carried off by the breeze once they hatch. Fearing he's again about to be alone, he nearly falls into depression again but three of Charlotte's daughters decide the barn where Wilbur lives is quite nice and stay there instead, becoming his friend, and he regales them with tales about their mother.
Goddamnit, why am I tearing up? 😂
Joy and Ariania were two of them...the third one I don't know the name of.

Seals can sound so human it's actually scary like one of my cousins ran to the beach because he thought he heard a baby drowning only to find out that it was an upset baby seal.
There's been many times in the night when I've been fishing that I thought I heard a woman screaming but it's just seals.
"So, if you want a screaming, biting, peeing loudspeaker in a baby-faced package yeah they're the pet for you. Or you know, you could just have kids."
This man gets it.
My friend says having a kid is like having a sapient disability.
Mhm.
I can attest that that phase ends relatively quickly in humans, so maybe babies aren't a real alternative if that was the draw for you.
@@JuMiKu That phase may end relatively quickly but a whole new, but equally troublesome phase starts after that, and after that, and after that until they move out and you have to face an empty nest, until their first go at striking out on their own fails and you actually want them gone except for the fleeting periodical visits they settle in to. There's that whole meaning of life and unconditional love beyond one's self but it's hard for some people to imagine that feeling, especially if they haven't experienced it before. Kids aren't for everyone but there's no shortage of ways to be fulfilled and contribute to one's society and species.
@@Voltaic_Fire Eh. I personally liken it to owning a pet. It's not for everyone period and kids are the sort of pet that was made for you, if you have a dog and say: "Yeah, I love this, but could it be more needy, expensive and an even bigger responsibility?"
I honestly loved every second of every phase so far (Yes, there are shitty moments, but life in general is just great), but can very clearly see why this isn't for everyone. Hell, I'm surprised that so many people do it, because if kids really were a pet, I think they would be a really exotic one. Hopefully, not as exotic as actual monkeys though, because those are still even worse pets. Very few kids grow up to literally rip and bite off fingers, scalps and faces.
Fun fact about “ballooning” it’s actually based on electromagnetic levitation , in some species at least, as they were observed gaining altitude and taking off in windless environments during experimentation, it was later found the strands were negatively charged (I think)
that just makes the flying spiders thing WORSE :(
Now I know how they manage to make a web string on the chandelier or a corner of the wall when I KNOW gravity would defy them. But nope, they can jump, fly, climb.
Yay, they have mag lev parachutes..
Your telling me Spiders have developed magnetic technology in there ass?
@@drxavier1870 Electrostatic possibly. If you rub certain materials (party balloon on a wool jumper for example) together you can build up quite the charge. Perhaps the spiders' spinnerets are lined with a material that reacts similarly to the silk passing over it?
Now we've just got to wait for them the develop a capacitor-transformer (perhaps exploiting the layered structure of chitin) setup and they'll be able to shoot lightning!
I have a correction for you: The adele penguin work wasn't published until then because nobody could read it. The guy who studied them was so mortified that he wrote all his research notes on them in latin so that, in his words, only a true, educated gentleman could read it.
Things people have historically hidden with Latin
- Adele penguin research notes
- the Bible
H.P Lovecraft type shit
When I heard his explanation, I was speechless, perplexed...
Seriously though, those penguins are the most degenerate animals I've ever heard of
*cultured gentleman
His wordplay is so immaculate it's scary.
As someone who LOVED Charlotte's Web as a kid, I absolutely knew about ballooning. What's super interesting to me is that vocal plasticity is apparently not a common trait among animals!
Same if you liked "The Far Side" as well.
I haven't seen that movie in years! The nostalgia 😭
@@NEEDbacon Oh yes, I was absolutely that kid as well.
Charlotte's Web made me so emotional. I love spiders. I used to be terrified of them when I was younger, but movies like Charlotte's Web and looking at pictures of Jumping Spiders helped me a lot. I can even hold spiders now, when I never thought the day would come. Anyway, YES! Ballooning is pretty cool, tbh. Spiders do some pretty cool things. I mean, just look at some of the pretty webs they make sometimes. :D
Does it necessary to capitalize the word "loved"?
Suddenly Kowalski wanting to smash a dolphin makes a lot of sense. And he’s the smart one, I don’t want to imagine the sins Rico has committed.

As long as we don't find out there are spiders that can survive in fire for 24 hrs, I can sleep just fine.
You just had to f@#$ing jinx it, didn't you?
It's just a matter of time til we discover a fire proof spider now.
We got the spiders that live underground, the ones that can survive underwater, flying ones, next fire ones!
Are we gonna have the bloody Avatar Spider next? He who can fly, breathe underwater, dig burrows, and is fireproof?
Just kill me now.

@@red0421 I'd throw in a social structure, no requirements for mating other than age and food storage, ungodly shriek, color change (yes, spiders can do that too), a symbiosis with, let's say, poisonous fungi. Oh, and let it be a migratory species!

@@Cokknine333 ah...I shall be here to witness it.
5:32 i remember in primary school(im in aus btw) the spiders would balloon themselves and then come down on the screaming students and we would all be screaming "ITS THE APOCALYPSE" one point the Princible had to call the kids inside until he found out they werent venemous those where the good days
How long did it take to find out the students weren't venomous?😆
Was talking with my parents about the phantom jellyfish and we got on the topic of octopus- turns out we know the woman in the photo holding the blue-ring octopus. My dad was her youth pastor back when she was a teen. Now she’s all grown- and believe me- we’re all just as confused as the rest of the world on how she lived to tell the tale.
Edit: people for the love of god leave her alone now- I didn’t wanna start a whole argument in the comments about how stupid she is. She didn’t know because she’d never been to that part of the world before- either be nice or just don’t comment at all maybe?

“What this moth is doing is actually perfectly harmless”
*physically sure but what about psychologically*
I mean, let's be honest, you see weirder things on Wattpad...
As I always say with insects and the like:
It's not about whether it's harmful, but whether it looks like something Lovecraft would have a wet dream over.
Istg I literally censored that part out with my hand that moth one literally traumatized me
You see weirder things in facebook
I can confirm, I need therapy
Even if it's just an April Fools thing, I'd love to see this dude spend ten minutes talking about Pokemon the way he does animals.
That would be AMAZING
I would literally pay money to see that.

The phantom jelly fish is actually really pretty imo, looks almost like its made of cloth
I have a great respect for the fact that you correct (with text) any mistakes that may come up. Thank you for helping me learn more about nature in such an irreverent, humoristic manner. I've learned more here than from high school/college biology , and countless hours of nature video viewing.
after i graduated high school, i used google to learn. after using google for two years i concluded i had learned more from google in 2 years than i did in high school in 4 years. sad truth. in fact, almost everything i know in life came from google and youtube.
The truly entertaining education is always the best and most memorable!
@@DavidLinn me too. I had all of my "higher" education in the 70s and 80s, well before I knew anything about computers. (or before much was available). Since 1998,when I got my first computer, I have learned exponentially more than I had ever learned in school.
The point of school is not to teach you everything, but rather to teach you enough so you can learn on your own.
The whole world is essentially a school. The education system just gives you the tools to help you understand the world.
And if you realize the tools you've been given are no longer enough, then use the opportunity to make your own.
@@archwaldo absolutely true. I didn't really learn that until I was a senior in high school and became friends (my best friend for decades) with the smartest guy I've ever met, he spent his career teaching philosophy at various universities near where we lived. I had always been a curious person but he helped show me how to be voraciously curious
"But it's also known as the hen-TENTACLE MOTH. Tentacle moth."

I was bragging about you to my neighbor. told him to check you out! lol Thanks for the laughs! at our age we need all of them! :D
I'm an ecologist so I already know a fair bit about these creatures but I love watching these videos because your turn of phrase is hilarious and it's great seeing someone portray the funny and weird side of nature so well. Keep up the great work mate!
I hope you get to use those phrases at work
@@mugenokami2201 agreed
My man, what do ecologists do for a living? Checking in on populations and such?
@@CamRebires hey dude, it really depends what organisation you work for but usually it involves specialising knowledge in an animal, group of species, a habitat etc. Then using that knowledge you can work in research into environmental damages or changes to eco-systems, work for environmental consultancies to make sure building developments don't harm the nature around them, teach people about being more eco friendly etc
Actually on that note haha, a lot of the time ecologists do any bloody thing they can for a living because funding for jobs is shit and most of the jobs are low salaried and full of PhD graduates! Do it for the love. I spent years volunteering whilst paying my way through restaurant and retail jobs before finally cracking into the field with my own mini business alongside my community work job.
OBJECTION!
The "spiderweb snowdrifts" tend to happen relatively rarely, either in cases of floods/heavy rains or in the extremely unlucky event (for the spiders as well as us) that a clutch of ballooning baby spiders end up caught in a freak windstorm and all land in the same place. In any event, competition for food will cause them to gradually disperse on their own. Usually.
Like I said, spider snowdrifts like you see in Australia are the results of accidents or emergencies, but biologists have recently discovered colonies of SOCIAL SPIDERS. Not quite eusocial- yet- as there is no established hierarchy, but some spiders will share web networks and/or nests, and help each other care for their young and/or hunt for food. By working together, they increase reproductive success as well as biomass of potential prey; as in, spiders that normally only catch *insects* working alone can capture *birds and bats* with help. This mostly occurs in the tropics but can also be observed in the Eastern United States.
But don't worry, Western United States, you get your own nightmares. Spiders there are not social, but during mating season, tarantulas can form swarms comprised of *hundreds* of individuals. Some areas even call it the "annual tarantula march".
Worst. Rave. Ever.
You know, I think tarantulas are adorable? But I think I'm keeping my social spiders now. I think I'm good. I think I am just FINE AND GOOD since I rarely see them until those little drifts are long abandoned and I wonder what went wrong.
Nah no March of the Tarantula for me.
There are actually plenty of communal arachnids. Deathstalker scorps will live together, so will many bark scorpions like Tityus Stigmurus.
Monocentropus balfouri are incredible ground level dwelling communal tarantulas. They're interesting because the mature females will almost always chase away or kill their own clutch brothers but they won't chase and kill unrelated mature tarantulas.
Then there are Huntsman spider trees in Australia that literally look like forbidden cotton candy trees. The huntsmans seem to live in a matriarchal society and don't really kill each other if there is enough food.
thank you for clarifying.
Thanks I hate it!
@@jamie1602 Yes, tarantulas are very cute! I love the fact that they have paw like feet and that they're fuzzy. I know the hairs are more of a defence mechanism, especially for new world tarantulas, but I don't care, they're fuzzy babies and I love them!
I’m absolutely fucking *crying* at Eine Kleine Nachtmusik kicking in at the flying spiders part.
I completely relate to the vocal plasticity. After all, I, too, work in retail and top it off, I'm not a people person. In fact, I really don't like people, but my coworkers don't believe that that's how good I am at faking it. They totally believe i'm an extra vert when I when i'm an introvert because I don't shut up, and I seem so sociable
It's like the author that when asked by the interviewer why he refused to write fiction, he answered, "Why when truth is often stranger?"
As to porcupines, they explains why I've never seen people or pets get infections from the puntures unless they did something stupid.
I'm never going into a forest i guess, unless I've ensured porcupines don't exist in my region
@Lucid Fangirl lol just listen, pay close attention to sounds. I love the forest and haven't had one fall on me thanks to learning to watch and listen for it.
@@vanhasydan4754 good point, but this implies you have witnessed - and evaded - a falling porcupine?
Simple fix, wear hard hats everywhere. Or any hat that they won't pierce your soft head with
@Raye Beard twice over the years. I grew up next to a wooded area and for years worked where i had to randomly pass through them
Went to a cemetery and there was a giant tree in the middle of it. Under the tree was a tombstone with a dead porcupine on top of it with blood running down. Always wondered if someone shot it and left it there or if it fell from the tree. After this video my guess is it fell to its untimely demise.
That is some horror movie crap.

3:08 Thank you so much for covering this jellyfish! I’ve always liked this kind because of how it looks, moves, where it lives, and how one of them just kinda chilled on an undersea station in a recording of it. These jellyfish are incredibly rare and I’ve always hoped that maybe one day, the Nautilus team will find one while exploring with their drone.
6:33 I feel so bad for this man. He lived outside for quite a while for research, got traumatized, and didn’t live long enough to see his work be published. And the fact that they’re called Deli penguins, the name either seems to be too normal or it makes the word ‘Deli’ contextually extra messed. Bless his soul and I hope he’s okay up there.
Also, for the ones near the end of video:
- I guess you’d have to be really careful with opossums
- I just love how either way, Pikachu was always supposed to be a cute Pokémon. I thought you would’ve said something else, lol.
- And finally for the seals, even though they’ve been prey to a lot of animals and people, I’m glad they’re still amazing creatures, a lot of research have gone into them, and we can relate to them even more.
Hate to be that guy, but they're called Adelie penguins
"to completion" despite every other sentence of that penguin segment being downright disturbing, hearing the penguin seriously got down with the ground killed me 😂
I straight up watched a spiny orb weaver spider fly from spot to spot all over my yard one day. And she nailed a landing on a tiny twig. And those spiders aren't even known for parachuting. I would venture to guess MOST spiders can fly and we just haven't noticed much. It was amazing to witness tbh.
Hey now don't give their offspring ideas pls😭😭😭
probably true, it would explain how the little fucks can get literally anywhere in no time regardless of the distance and lack of reason for them to naturally walk there..
She was the beginning step in a new branch of evolution. Soon they all will fly.
Does anyone else just re-watch his old videos until a new one drops? It can't only be me lol

I was in the middle of rewatching a video when this one dropped lol

When I was in New Orleans, a black widow 'ballooned' itself out of the sky onto my arm. Didn't know what to do, so I gave a hard blow and the spider went flying away.
Honestly my favorite person on UA-cam. Doesn't mater how bad a day you're having Casual Geographic WILL brighten your mood. I LOVE NatGeo, but THIS channel makes learning hilariously fun.
The Pikachu "Jean-Luc" fact is nearly true... Only it was after a certain starship captain and not a random French man as pictured. And further he was 100% actually named Jean-Luc in the original Japanese Manga run at least. And it was never ret-conned as far as I know, just never mentioned again.
TFW Pokemon stuff you learned as a teen comes into play...
Awww man.
Now I’m kinda sad that pikachu wasn’t named after Picard. 🤣
Captain Jean-Luc Picachu of the U.S.S. Enterprise
*Repeat to a tune ad-nauseum*
*............. I'm naming my next Pikachu "Picard" once I buy a new Pokemon game.*
Well, one of the original Japanese manga runs. The one penned by Toshihiro Ono specifically who is also the creator of numerous hentai manga series. There are NUMEROUS unrelated series of Pokemon manga. Thank you, Linkara...
Can confirm, have that vey manga still in my bookcase. It was very punny in a good way.
Edit: you can even see a little Star Trek badge on Pikachu in that frame.
I would once again like to thank you for the spider warnings. As someone who wants to learn more about them but is also incredibly arachnophobic, I greatly appreciate that I can simply close my eyes and listen to the facts about them without being traumatised by the actual clips or images of them.
yeah cause those facts will do you a ton of good when you can't even look at one long enough to figure out what kind it is or what you'd need to do next... xD
@@kilssj2250 I'm not learning the facts with the intent of using them in any kind of practical situation, I simply want to know them to satisfy my own curiosity.
I'm a dumbass I didn't catch the warning. And my mom and I are both dumbasses because everytime we find a spider in the house we're unsure of we research for like an hour, and traumatize ourselves with all the damn pictures. Like we gotta cover the screen to try and peek at the words and then glance the image then NOPE away so fast. Which leaves us with thay heebie jeebie skin feeling for HOURS. Like even rn typing this I keep swiping at my skin since I accidentally looked at the screen while he talked.
could someone give me the timestamp for the end of the spider bit? i dont wanna risk skimming through
@@snek7030 End of spider clips: 6:34
I would probably skip the penguin one too. End of penguin clip: 8:11
I really enjoy how informative he is as well as uses a sense of humor with a straight face.
The way you describe these animals is great dude haha
The marmoset clip you used is of a rescued marmoset that was neglected/abused. It resulted in hair loss and the rear toes are twisted and damaged from likely being kept in an undersized wire cage.
Arachnophobes after learning wolf spiders can survive underwater: At least spiders can't fly.
Casual Geographic: Did you know some spiders can fly?
The arachnophobes: Oh dear God they can fly.
AND don’t forget the jump. Traumatized after one wanted to jump on my face.
Casual mentioned the Aussie spiders that go ballooning in such numbers that their silk looks like snow on the ground when they land. I've seen that happen a few times, it results in millions of the buggers in a relatively concentrated area.

It hits especially hard when he talks about those ballooning spiders. Mainly because here in Australia, I've seen those bastards myself flying around, and they've just smacked right into my face multiple times.
Oh god that would be my worst nighmare...
At this point, and with all due respect, we should just Nuke Australia and be done with it.
I've walked into enough spider webs, but I haven't had that happen. I would absolutely start screaming, not even kidding, I would be hysterical. I used to live in a very old farm house northern NSW, I had picked up the mop and was wringing it into the bucket, when I felt something tickle my fingers, and because I was leaning in to wring the mop, I thought it was my hair brushing my fingers. Pull back and see that there is a hoary great bloody funnel web sitting on top of the mop, almost on my hand. Hysteria followed.
It turned up again a few days later, my brother caught it in a jar and let it out in the lounge room, where my mum and little sister proceeded to freak out, so my dad stepped in, literally, and cancelled its subscription to life. Thank goodness.
@@missveronica8393 Lmao they don’t wanna hurt you 😢
i think the way the adelie penguins were handled shows one important thing: humans talk about rape and murder and depravity of other humans, but we're so obsessed with this perfect, peaceful image of a nature full of regular survival and beauty free of depravity that we don't want to hear about the fucked up parts. which is dumb. nature if beautiful and amazing, but we can't just go around picking and choosing to only learn about and believe in the nice things.

Without the tentacles the moths actually look kinda' cute... but then the tentacles come out and it looks like a furry had a kinky fantasy involving moths.
"... the wrong side of Wattpad." And that's how you know this man's cultured. But, anyone whose been on Wattpad for long enough will tell you that actually, it gets weirder than that.
Dang, where do you even come up with these comparisons? XD
Anyway, I'm here for my regular dose of serotonin and as always, you do not disappoint.
Just when I thought spiders couldn't get creepier, science proves me wrong.
Fuck... I just realised why that wolf spider bit ended so abruptly.... wolf spiders... live practically everywhere! (Except antarctica and "polar regions", but being arthropods that's not exactly surprising...)
Oh, do you know about the pelican spiders? You might have made a video on them before, but I can't remember. Anyway, they are heckin' weird.
Really? Was that confirmed? Because they don't actually look much like Adeli penguins - they don't look like any penguin species and that's a GOOD thing, because I don't want to associate my favourite four penguins with Adeli penguins, any more than I want to acknowledge that Scrooge McDuck is still a duck...
Pfffft. Healing buff.
Imagine if that reset sound did play every time an opossum when unconscious though...
Shhh... Seals are the lyrebirds of marine and amphibious mammals.
Unfortunately kids are still too expensive for many to afford taxes breaks or not.
@@dylanhaugen3739 I'm inclined to agree.
I knew he was a man of culture when he started to say hentai instead of tentacle - nice high-speed recovery on that one. XD
@@dylanhaugen3739 Depends on how well you can budget. Mom raised four while bobbing around the poverty line. We never wanted for necessities and we had all the attention we needed. No fancy toys or vacations, just a caring family.
Wait there's a wolf spider bit
Oh no
This is hands down the best UA-cam channel of all time ❤️❤️
I literally cant stop watchin your vids,man.
„An empty seat at your families reunion“
This guys Quotes are legendary 😂
I love casual geographic
I swear this channel is just the embodiment of “SANITY IS FOR THE WEAK”
Sanity in this channel? Nah we don't do that here.
Awe the seal singing is absolutely wonderful. 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓
Really enjoy this guy's channel ,he does a wonderful job .
The Legend has returneth and blessed our day with a great nature upload!
Another fun spider fact is that in times of Plenty some spiders will effectively become communal creatures and instead of having a bunch of individual webs, they will make one super web. The trees in the region end up looking like cotton candy.
This guy always makes my day
i appreciate that you give warnings for certain phobias. so respectful ! i love these videos they are blowing my mind!
I bet that Phantom Jellyfish is the inspiration for Jellicent.
Always good. Always informative. Always, also, irreverent.
He slowed down his delivery a while ago. I kinda miss the rapid-fire past posts, but this is obviously easier for everyone to follow, and I think everyone ought to be able to hear his words…they’re well worthwhile.
I just love your channel. Always funny. 😄 Thank you.
That's incredible! I never heard of an organism switching metabolism from anaerobic to aerobic ! Made my day
Waiting for the day you and Zefrank do a special on the hippo.
The backwards hippo facts
Do a special on Free masons and the cult that worships Lucifer that is in it. Do a special that shows how world leaders, CEOs, politicians, celebrities, high ranking military, directors of 3 letter agencies, might all be in this cult, secretly together, and everything they do n see, its a staged plan, and has been for the last 2000+ years.
They stay in power because of the blood rituals and sacrafices they make to Lucifer... Thats how they have stayed in power this long.
Its because its a none human entity, putting them in power, all this time...
Using other worldly means, to do it
Thats why Jesus did, what he did for our sins. He was mounted on that cross n died for em. What Jesus did, on a spiritual level, is a "Uno reverse card" to all the Blood rituals Mankind has done for Satan, essentially.
+Rush Garcia
Thank you! I had never heard of him, but I just subscribed to his channel and will be watching some of his videos on this rainy Minnesota day! 😊
A collab with Zefrank would be awesome 😊!
1:14 a while back I was asking why moths in video games had such a rough life. Someone responds with a rant against mothkind, so I inquire what moths had done to them.
They respond with "look up the tentacle moth."
I scoffed, thinking "oh please. It can't be that horrific."
It... it was.
Ooof
Radiance is displeased.
@@paulmann8570 We're lucky the moths we know don't fire spikes and heat rays at us when they're pissed off. Imagine trying to give facts about that. 😱
Tentacle moth reminds me of Mothron
Educational and funny as fyck. My favorite content creator.
Your channel is brill, I've liked it so much I ordered your book and subbed
Well, let's see how many phobias I have gained from this man. The fear of the ocean and the fear of spiders... ever growing 😑
Too funny.
The spiders are in canada, i would know…
Seals seem like they're pretty likely to become the next sapient species on Earth after humans, besides other primates, the ability to recognize vocal patterns and modify your own vocals in response is an abvious first step towards the ability to speak, and their flippers, unlike the fins of dolphins, could easily be modifed into something that coud grasp objects.
I fucking love seals
Crows and other corvids are already able to use their claws and beaks to make and use tools. And they have the intelligence to make and use them, plus (I think?) the ability to teach others. Literally all they need is a little more dexterity and maybe better communication skills, and they're set
Parrots and dolphins are also at a similar level. If we absolutely ruin our chances there could be multiple sapient races on this planet in the future.
The mermaids are coming 😂
@@raerohan4241 My dad would love that! Crows are his favorite animals, and he even had one as a PET when he was a kid!
that dst soundtrack 👌
also the lil wooo from the seall
😄 my heart
So glad I keep finding new vidz 🤩
No idea if you'll see this, but you are one of my favorite people on UA-cam. No clickbait, crazy facts, great footage, and some of the funniest sentences uttered on the platform. Respect to you.
Thanks for the 'possum bit. Amazing creatures. But yeah, they've been around, essentially unchanged since the T-Rex and their sole survival tactic is "having a panic attack, passing out, and hoping things will find them too pathetic to eat."
Their anxiety also makes them great cuddlers. When they feel safe, they'll do something called "slubbing." Where they just absolutely cuddle the crap out of something... Yes, they're marking "this is mine" with scent glands behind their ears," but at least they don't hump stuff like dogs. They're also hypoallergenic. I'm not the only person who's allergic of "essentially everything else with fur/hair" that can cuddle a 'possum all day with no allergies.
And they got li'l star feets. And look up videos of them yawning... it's the stuff of adorable nightmares.
'possums are just adorable, would love to pet one
@@AryFemMtF They're pretty fluffy. But the most endearing part is when one trusts you, and they cuddle you back because the entire world is terrifying, but "you're my safe thing!" ... just absolutely melts your heart.
Unlike cats that will tolerate being pet for a while, then snap at you "BECAUSE I'VE DECIDED I WAS DONE A MOMENT AGO! BE GONE, PEASANT!"
Ohhh boy. A nightmare of mine now confirmed. I had a nightmare when I was younger that was exactly that. Raining down spiders from the sky. Not enough drugs to keep me calm about this.
I love this guy - ❤ He is so good for my depression
I loved these weird ass animal videos, and your delivery just gets better.
Also, I never knew that there was a species of monkey with claws.
All monkeys have claws i think
@@wr8ththaking Claws are just specialized nails with higher slash damage. So assuming a primate has this awareness and invents tools to sharpen their natural keratin knives, yeah basically. Beware monkeys with nail clippers/filers.
wow the 2 bots
@@greenpigeongaming4867 do I win a prize?
@@wr8ththaking nope, most have nails like apes.
Because of this guy, I now use the term,
“They will gladly co-sign your obituary” and “Turn you into the past tense” when describing an animal that can be lethal to humans.
Or sometimes dangerous objects.
Like how the Russians freaking dug trenches in the Red Forest of Chernobyl. Those guys are gonna become “Past Tense” really slowly and painfully😳😓.
+equarg
How about, "remove you from the census?" 😁
The "woo" at the end was the cutest f***in' thing... I love this channel. :)
Thank you so much for the spider warning!!!!
Ugh, these facts are quickly becoming my go-to conversation starter and I'm sure all of you can see why that might be a bad thing.
I'm so happy you covered the giant phantom jellyfish! The ocean is terrifying yet beautiful and this is a prime example of it!
Those jellyfish were the inspiration for the Pokemon called Frillish and Jellicent, from Generation 5. The region they're originally from is based on the U.S. (specifically New York), but the best part is their assigned typing: Water and Ghost, a direct reference to phantom jellyfish.
2:00 "from the wrong side of Wattypad."
*Man, you've responded to so many nightmares so well.* 👏 👍👏👍
Awesome channel I just found and subbed. Love your passion.
Never thought I'd be more disturbed learning about penguins than learning about spiders, but like the title says...
Geez those penguins are a whole level beyond barbarians
Dolphins are just like the penguins 😐
I don't really understand what Mother Nature was thinking when she created those two animals😓
"Morality is relative."
- Mother Nature, shortly before creating those penguins.
Pedophilia, necrophilia, paraphilia, Agalmatophilia.....they need eat alot of mint to reduce that hormone...
@@ivanelias3916 Any trait that leads to better reproductive success has a good chance of spreading throughout the population. In some species, like these penguins or in ducks, the trait that leads to better reproductive success is extremely r@pey behaviour. Unfortunately.
