Great to see Erin again. She somehow makes the gross things sound hilarious.
She's my favorite too
Realized during the editing in this video one thing we didn't include: that the inside of a camel's mouth looks like the Sarlacc pit. Any other truly bizarre animal facts you can think of that we left out?!?
There's a TV show called the View . It's hosted by talking sheep and pigs
The inside of a sea turtle’s mouth is similar. Yikes!
My favorite will always be that lobsters pee out of their eyes
And frilled-neck lizards can shoot blood out of their eyes. Ew!
That transition from the tick picture to the moose picture, while Erin says "...can become huge..." almost made me think ticks could evolve into moose XD
Cows also have different accents. The same breed of cow has been found to sound different in different areas of the country (UK study ages ago!). It's possible that other domesticated animals do the same thing, because they listen to the humans that they're in frequent contact with. (My hypothesis, but given that it's been noticed in two species, I don't see why it can't be true in others.)
Sea cucumbers technically don't have "butts" or a "rectum" - it's a cloaca, an all-purpose orifice used for various ins and outs
I like to keep the breathing separate from the pooping, but no judgement
@@Neophlegm Yes! One of many of these facts I already learned from zefrank
While visiting Haines Alaska in May, I watched a mother moose and her calf waded out into to the bay (cold salt water) and stand for 10-15 minutes, could that cause ticks to release?
Let's hope so! Ticks are horrendous.
A+ video!
LOVE IT! Another classic!
Weirdly I literally just watched a TikTok that mentioned the projective speed of penguin poop
Some favorites: Most of the Star Wars aliens and monsters, as well as a lot of Jurassic Park dinosaurs, are just camel noises. If one was a camel herder, one would experience these films very differently.
You didn't mention the Naked Mole Rats having a Queen and a antlike social structure, which for me is SUPER weird for mammals.
Also, sex change fish.
Killer Whale and Gorilla dialects.
Bonobo greetings are often sexual; chimps go to war.
Certain species of shark also have counter-current heat exchange, which is why you often see great whites and makos in cold temperate waters.
I propose renaming Hairy Frogs to Wolverine Frogs
No problem, just find a slightly larger, smaller or differently colored specimen and say it's a new species. As usual...
They are already called that too.
So, Wolverine in the movie isn't named correctly!! 😂
As animation historian and critic AniMat likes to say, "What the FRIDGE?"
im hung like a barnacle
Skunks don’t mate for life. The female is charged with taking care of the baby skunks.
McHawty 😍
That frog breaking it's own toes, yeah I felt that one, it made me cringe and flex my toes. Awful.
Barnacles have penises and they can regrow them both facts are definitely interesting, also people mistaking a Blue Whale Penises as sea monsters. Very interesting video and very well done.

x How cool would it be if the community cat that I named Jenny one day lived in a cat house modeled off of the Titanic!
x Speaking of animals, the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha is considered by many to be one of the best or the best zoo in the world!
x I have the name of a zoo society in my awesome list of group names, it is called Noah's Ark Zoo Society.
o That is based off the idea that Noah's Ark was theoretically the first zoo.
† Apparently a similar name has been appealing to someone else, just saw on the internet there is a Noah's Ark Zoo Farm in England!
Blegh
Love your content, I like most all the writing and speakers…but why lower the writing to get view. What the fluff is just sad.
What does “WTF” stand for?
Why must you stoop to that level of using crass and unnecessary profanity in your videos?
The sign says “Keep off the “crass”.😅
@@glennso47 Hey, be careful: use a pun, go to prison. 😉
It's crass AF
How about converting imperial units to metric?
Nearly every channel that tries to do some kind of edutainment is able to, why aren't you?
How about learning that the US doesn't and has never used imperial units?
