  • @thenerdbeast7375
    @thenerdbeast7375 4 роки тому +211

    I remember reading recently that the "fact" that cannibalism is a regular part of praying mantis mating is incorrect. Yes the female will eat the male if she is hungry enough, but more often then not the male is able to live and mate another day. This myth comes from studies on captive specimens, where they were kept in close proximity to each other and the male was unable to escape due to the confines of their container. So yes, praying mantises are cannibals but it isn't a normal part of their courting behavior like the australian red-backed spider.

    • @critterfreek83
      @critterfreek83 Рік тому +15

      Thank you! It’s always so, so important to keep in mind that what we see happen between individual animals in captivity may not always be the case for other, free-roaming individuals-If I remember correctly, one Portuguese study found that under natural, wild conditions, a mere 25-30% of male European mantids are eaten by their partners.

    I had hamsters once, when I was little. They had a lot of babies. My favorite one only had 3 legs. I named him “stubby”, and he was great. Of course, from watching this video people can probably guess how that ended. Suffice to say, I kinda hate hamsters now.
