      Bamba Zillah Sorry, people in the tropics cannot understand that.. They were born and raised in the tropics, full of abundance, a natural comfort zone that makes us not to think. This video is the perfect irony of why the black race is not doing well.. We all sort of live in the tropics. Very comfy, needing no worries for survival.. When those in the temperate region was thinking of how to survive and needing to develop all necessary skills to survive, we had everything called food.. It was too much, until modern civilisation, until we realised, that life was beyond just the abundance of food, until people who needed the resources came and plundered them and in some cases we willfully supported them. My point still remains, we have not made much progress and this seems not to be inherent in us, the drive to make things better.. We live by the season and not out of the season. Preservation and perpetuation has not been our skills. Every season, comes with its own goodies, we just flourished in them and became a lazy breed. Who will not be this, not needing to think out the box for his survival..

    Hi, there, thanks for the excellent videos.

As it has been repeatedly shown in several publications in the last 3 or 4 decades.

    My theory is that climates change more dramatically at the poles, driving species at both ends towards the equator, which is more constant and moderate. When the poles warm up they migrate again towards the poles until they freeze or dry up again.

    I came with a question : is it the same for oceans? It seems to me that polar climates suits biodiversity and biomass best, maybe because more oxygen is dissolved in the water? Or maybe the oceans are more equalized?

    • @suzanthony1987
      @suzanthony1987 3 роки тому +1

      Good question! Biodiversity is highest in areas with more nutrients, which occurs in "upwelling" zones. However there are regions that miss out on species dispersal because of currents, such as the current that flows around the globe just north of Antarctica. Hope that answers some of your question: as for most biological questions, it is very complicated really fast

    • @Kuria

      It's Larvesta. The pre-evolved form of Volcarona.
      "There are five orange, slightly whorled horns on the sides of its head, which it can use to spit fire as a defensive tactic to deter predators. It has been seen using fire it spits from these horns to fly. It lives at the feet of volcanoes."

    Thanks for the series. I have been in the rainforest at Tambopata in Peru. A relay great place to experience the jungle and its life. Even in the rain season it was sun every day. Keep a good repellent on you and take some antidote(medic) before venture there. Trees smells like garlic, silent sunset, wake up call from howling apes, crickets sounds like chainsaw.. Btw the grey tarantella (2,12 min. in the video) is huge but not poisonous.

      For example, the cousin of southern mongoloid (us) which is the northern mongoloid, apparently migrated upwards from SEA/South Asia (or the coastal southern asia to be precise) towards China, Korea, Japan etc.
      And China now has the largest population in the world
