No doubt many of you have heard of the tragedy that occurred in Florida earlier this month. I haven't spoken out publicly just yet as I have been doing my best to understand what happened from all perspectives. It absolutely breaks my heart, but I didn't want to misrepresent the facts or respond too emotionally. I am now ready to talk about what happened, and what I think we should do. I will be discussing it live this coming Wednesday, April 26th at the time scheduled in the link below. I hope to see you there. This is a critical moment for the reptile hobby. Please be the best representatives of our community that you can be.

I'm just learning about this now, and if I am correct on what we are talking about it was very sad to hear
@@areallyshortbrontothere Justice for Big Shirl
I say treat them just the same as they treated those innocent scale noodles.
People hate bears. Their existence was long but it will end soon. Hunters and trappers will exterminate them soon. Maybe it's for the better. People also hate rhinos ans reptiles. Fact!
I'm afraid I'm don't know what you are refferring to. Would you be so kind as to enlighten me?
“The easiest way to distinguish between an American Black Bear and an Asian Black Bear is by knowing which continent you’re on.”
Never change, Clint. Never change.
Knowin whether you are in Asia or North America isn't usually too difficult, unless you're Christopher Columbus.
@@russlehman2070To be fair he was too busy ripping tongues & violating Taino women to study geography.
I was gonna say “how good they are at math”.
@@jasonlira2755 wow what a clever and original joke. hope you're proud of coming up with such a banger
@@russlehman2070 in my experience MOST Americans don't know the difference. Some even think Asia is a country. You know, that country that's next to the country of Africa.
Fun fact: my mentor is actually the first person credited with discoving remains from the North American Giant Short-faced Bear (Arctodus simus) in the state of Florida. Extending their known range 1,100 miles and showing they probably lived all across the continent. He turned the fossils over to the University of Florida but they allowed him to make casts of the fossils for his personal collection! ❤
so cool!
For a second there I thought you were gonna say "fun fact: my mentor is actually a bear".
Nice
Your…mentor?
Nice to meet you here mate! And that is absolutely fascinating!
"if you want me to talk about mustelidae let me know!"
Clint, you could talk to me about all the kinds of toenail clippings and you'll still have us listening all captivated
Agreed, I'd also listen captivated! 👍🏻
So true! It's in the excitement of teaching!
Any student who had the opportunity to be in his class learned - whether they wanted to or not.
He makes me want to go back to college!
Yesssss. Marsupials too.
I found you as a reptile channel but I'm really loving that you are just doing biology in general now. Honestly love it
I think it's good for both us, and the channel. It helps widens people's interests/perspectives on overall wildlife, and maybe getting more people into caring about conservation. While also giving the channel a much larger base of things to talk about. More content, more awareness, all wins.
Second that, Clint has a way of making everything interesting! Hoping for more videos like this
agreed! I'll never say no to more videos from this channel no matter what kind of animal it's about.
Nah, I'm missing his lizard videos.
I love this too, it's very interesting to learn more about different animals and hopefully this is bringing avareness about different species on the earth and wild animals too. How cool and amazing the nature is and the the extremely important need to protect the nature and all these awesome species of animals.
Actually, Sloth bears do not directly fear Chuckwallas, they just suffer from petrathanosphobia, the irrational fear of having their skull crushed by a rock, so what can they do but tremble at the sight of the shadow of the chuckwalla...
I definitely want to learn more about red pandas and all of its relatives
They don't have any living relatives.
@@American-Wilderness yes they do
@@American-Wilderness they’re related to Racoons
@@bassmantjox1299 I thought they were their own thing now? They _used_ to be related to raccoons, but I thought scientists figured out they weren’t.
their closest relatives are probably mustelids, there are no other Ailuridae alive today if I'm not mistaken
I recently looked up sloth bears on a whim, and it turns out they're one of the most dangerous animals in India and are way more of a threat to most people than tigers are. As Clint mentioned, they're the honey badgers of bears. When they see a threat, they respond by being super aggressive. Unfortunately, they see humans as threats and attack them on sight more often than any other bear. It makes me wonder about the relationship they may have had with humans for the many thousands of years humans have inhabited India - likely not a good one.
Yet they have lived in close contact with humans in harmony too in lots of places in India
It's interesting considering that the sami and finns have hunted bears for meat for thousands of years, and the scandinavian bears are the opposite of sloth bears; they'll either hide or run faster than you can yell "Perkele".
So they would be more of a threat to a man than to a child?
Clint. Of COURSE we want a video about musteloids!! CLEARLY we’re into that kind of thing 😁
Small carnivorans are not a monophyletic group, the term is used for only those that belong to the superfamilies Procyonoidea, Musteloidea, and Viverroidea, Procyonoidea contains four extant families: Mephitidae (Skunks and Stink Badgers), Procyonidae (Raccoons and Bassarisks), Ailuridae (Red Panda and Fossil Relatives), and Nasuidae (Coatis, Kinkajou, Olingos, and Olinguito), Musteloidea contains four extant families: Melidae (Badgers), Mustelidae (Weasels, Ferrets, Minks, and Fossil Relatives), Lutridae (Otters), and Ictonychidae (Zorillas, Muishund, Shulang, Huro, Grisons, Wolverine, Tayra, and Martens), and Viverroidea contains seven extant families: Nandiniidae (African Palm Civet and Fossil Relatives), Prionodontidae (Linsangs), Poianidae (Oyans), Genettidae (Genets), Viverridae (Civets), Herpestidae (Mongooses), and Eupleridae (Malagasy Carnivorans), these three superfamilies Procyonoidea, Musteloidea, and Viverroidea are not closely related to each other at all despite superficial similarities, both Procyonoidea and Musteloidea belong to the suborder Caniformia, while Viverroidea belongs to the suborder Feliformia.
Great reply Melissa! ❤❤❤

Also, that clip of a cow eating a little bird was not something I was prepared for

Note with the word "panda": rather than of French origin, it was originally taken from a local Nepalese language, where the word 'ponya' means bamboo-eater. So basically what 'panda' means is just an animal that eats bamboo, so Giant Panda would be the 'giant bamboo-eater'.
thank you for this info, super cool
"Panda bear" would be the "bamboo-eating bear", while "red panda" would be "red bamboo-eater". Works for me, panda bears have relatively close relatives in their range that do not eat bamboo, while the red panda has no living close relatives.
Though, why Giant? Does it mean there is a smaller sized panda? And then he explains its due to the red Panda's being named first.
@@Sovereignty3 You just answered your own question. Red Pandas were named first and we didnt have dna to figure out if they were actually related or not, so the giant panda was named for being like a massive version of a red panda, the red ones ARE the smaller sized pandas as far as they were concerned at the time.
If anyone is curious about why the Panda genus is called Ailuropoda, I think it is because the genus that red pandas belong to is called Ailurus. Yes, Ailuropoda translates to "cat foot", but my guess is that the Ailuro- in Ailuropoda is more of a reference to the similarities between the feet of giant pandas and red pandas (i.e. them both having a false thumb to aid in the handling of bamboo).
As a native speaker of Chinese I can confirm that panda in Chinese is indeed “big bear cat (大熊猫）”
what do you call the Binturong then?
Hey Clint, you will probably never see this but thank you for this video. Bears are my absolute favorite animal on this entire planet. They are incredibly strong, intellectual and capable of living anywhere. They are the Swiss Army tool of the animal kingdom. This video is one of my favorite ways to de-stress after a long day! Thank you again from the worlds biggest bear fan!
My kids and I love these videos. The other day they gave me a good laugh when I overheard one say to the other (in the most insulting way they could): "Well, YOU'RE the hagfish of humans!"
I remember thinking how huge polar bears were... then I saw Steller's sea lions coming in to breed, so you'll get so many of these things all the size of the biggest polar bears (and a lot more agile on land than you might think)... Then I saw an elephant seal, and suddenly, polar bears seemed so small :)
Theres a famous video where a polar bear just can deal with walruses size and thick skin
Fun Fact: Wapusk National Park in Manitoba, Canada is the only known place in the world where Black Bears, Brown Bears, and Polar Bears all coexist in the same place.
My favorite bear taxonomy fact is that arctos meant bear before the arctic was called the arctic. The arcitic region got its name because it's where the bears are, not the other way around.
More likely due to the great and little bear constellations, the latter containing the celestial north pole (including the north star).
@@nouhorni3229 Certainly due to that, as when the arctic was named, I don't think Greeks knew bears didn't live everywhere.
Yes to a video about musteloiddae! Just looking at their tree of life, I didn't realize that racoons were in that family. For some reason, I thought they were a little more closely related to bears than they are. I guess their ears and the rolling gait of their walk put it into my head.
Bears, pinnipeds, and musteloids are all part of the suborder Caniformes.
Fun fact: For those wondering, in common identification, a Brown bear found in inland United States is referred to as a Grizzly. Coastal brown bears are typically just called Brown bears.
That is colloquial common names only. Taxonomically, ALL brown bears in N. America (aside from the Kodiak archipelago) are one subspecies, the grizzly.
@@Dr.IanPlect yes, if someone in the Pacific NW says "be careful, brownbears nearby".. think "Grizzly" or "Really Big Grizzly" 😉
Be Well!! 😀
@@michaelfritts6249 I know.
In Poland "our" brown bears (Eurasian) are called brown bears while the American/Canadian bears are called Grizzly Bears and Kodiak's are called brown bears for whatever reason.
@@margodphdIt's the same in Sweden, I always thought that grizzly bears were a different bear species.
Easily the best zoology education channel on The Tube. Clint is one of the funniest humans, and brilliant.
I think it’s worth pointing out that the Asian black bear is also known as the moon bear! We have a sun and a moon bear! So cool!
I used to live in Alaska and Brown Bears scare me to death. I got treed by one many years ago and it was one of the most terrifying things that has ever happened to me.
Speaking of trees, while I was up North I was told of a quick way to tell Black Bears and Brown Bears apart. If you're being chased by a bear, climb a tree. If the bear climbs up after you, it's a Black Bear. If it pushes the tree over, it's a Brown.😉
And yes, I'd love to see a video on Mustilids.
In either case, I guess you're screwed ^^'
Does 'treed' mean you had to climb a tree to escape it?
You can NEVER assume behavior. Even animals have specific personalities. Just because most behave in a certain way, doesn't mean all will do the same. I think it makes life more interesting and makes you question perspectives.
@@michaelkilgore4671 If you want to survive, you should assume behaviours :p
If you come across a 300kg bear, you can either assume he's a dangerous and savage bear that will look at you as a prey or a threat and attack, and take the logical steps of backing down, or you can wait to see if he's just misunderstood and have nine chances out of ten to be mauled to death :p
Brown bears always seems to be on Joe Rogan's mind lol. Whenever an outdoorsman is telling a story about bears, Joe's bear noises, or bear imitations, always crack me up lol. Any creature that can snap a moose's spine with a single smack is absolutely terrifying.
I'll never get old of your phylogeny videos, Clint.
Great video! I enjoy your phylogeny tours, even though I’m pretty well educated on the subject I always learn something new! I think a tour of the Musteloids would be great. As a ferret owner I’m a little biased, but I’m still comfortable saying that Musteloids are among the most awesome and underrated mammals around!
Small carnivorans are not a monophyletic group, the term is used for only those that belong to the superfamilies Procyonoidea, Musteloidea, and Viverroidea, Procyonoidea contains four extant families: Mephitidae (Skunks and Stink Badgers), Procyonidae (Raccoons and Bassarisks), Ailuridae (Red Panda and Fossil Relatives), and Nasuidae (Coatis, Kinkajou, Olingos, and Olinguito), Musteloidea contains four extant families: Melidae (Badgers), Mustelidae (Weasels, Ferrets, Minks, and Fossil Relatives), Lutridae (Otters), and Ictonychidae (Zorillas, Muishund, Shulang, Huro, Grisons, Wolverine, Tayra, and Martens), and Viverroidea contains seven extant families: Nandiniidae (African Palm Civet and Fossil Relatives), Prionodontidae (Linsangs), Poianidae (Oyans), Genettidae (Genets), Viverridae (Civets), Herpestidae (Mongooses), and Eupleridae (Malagasy Carnivorans), these three superfamilies Procyonoidea, Musteloidea, and Viverroidea are not closely related to each other at all despite superficial similarities, both Procyonoidea and Musteloidea belong to the suborder Caniformia, while Viverroidea belongs to the suborder Feliformia.
I'd love to see a musteloid video to help clear something up.
Recently some friends and I were discussing how the Least Weasel implies that some other species must be the Most Weasel, but we couldn't agree on what it was. Some obviously suggested the largest member of the genus Mustela but we couldn't find reliable sizes. Others suggested that it should be the platonic ideal of a weasel, which may well be the Least Weasel itself. Then there was the camp that suggested going further up the family tree to the Wolverine or Giant Otter.
Surely you would have some insight on this issue.

Also, just to let you know, there are now only eight extant species within the Mustela genus, which are the Least Weasel (Mustela nivalis), the Stoat (Mustela erminea), the Missing-Toothed Pygmy Weasel (Mustela astoodonnivalis), the Sichuan Weasel (Mustela russelliana), the Mediterranean Weasel (Mustela numidica), the Egyptian Weasel (Mustela subpalmata), the Algerian Weasel (Mustela algeriensis), and the Morocco Weasel (Mustela moroccana), all of which are found only in the Old World.
@@indyreno2933 otters, badgers, and the others you mentioned you mentioned are a part of mustelidae, not a seperate family.
@CutiePieAlphadon (Minish4rk), actually, there are now twenty-five extant families of carnivorans: Canidae (Dogs), Ursidae (Bears), Ailuropodidae (Giant Panda), Phocidae (Seals), Cystophoridae (Hooded Seal and Elephant Seals), Otariidae (Sea Lions and Fur Seals), Odobenidae (Walrus), Mephitidae (Skunks and Stink Badgers), Procyonidae (Raccoons and Bassarisks), Ailuridae (Red Panda), Nasuidae (Coatis; Kinkajou, Olingos, and Olinguito), Melidae (Badgers), Mustelidae (Weasels, Ferrets, and Minks), Lutridae (Otters), Ictonychidae (Zorillas, Muishund, Shulang, Huro, Grisons, Wolverine, Tayra, and Martens), Felidae (Cats), Protelidae (Aardwolf), Hyaenidae (Hyenas), Nandiniidae (African Palm Civet), Prionodontidae (Linsangs), Poianidae (Oyans), Genettidae (Genets), Viverridae (Civets), Herpestidae (Mongooses), and Eupleridae (Malagasy Carnivorans), there are also nine extant superfamilies of carnivorans: Canoidea (contains 1 family: Canidae), Ursoidea (contains 2 families: Ursidae and Ailuropodidae), Phocoidea (contains 2 families: Phocidae and Cystophoridae), Otarioidea (contains 2 families: Otariidae and Odobenidae), Procyonoidea (contains 4 families: Mephitidae, Procyonidae, Ailuridae, and Nasuidae), Musteloidea (contains 4 families: Melidae, Mustelidae, Lutridae, and Ictonychidae), Feloidea (contains 1 family: Felidae), Hyaenoidea (contains 2 families: Protelidae and Hyaenidae), and Viverroidea (contains 7 families: Nandiniidae, Prionodontidae, Poianidae, Genettidae, Viverridae, Herpestidae, and Eupleridae).
@@indyreno2933I think the most weasel should be the stoat
Thank you Clint for recognising that some of your viewers don't know which continent they are on.
I watched a documentary of a Grolar or Pizzly Bear shot in 2006. When they cut open its stomach there were parts of a seal and what appeared to be some type of rodent like a lemming or ground squirrel. There also might have been some plant matter like roots but I can’t verify this. Clearly it was a very opportunistic animal and had a wider diet than most polar bears much like a brown bear.
I hope he does a video on mustelidae. They often seem like they're the heart of the mammal class. Might be a long video because of the diversity.
So many weasels and weasel relatives! I think only rodents would be more vast in terms of diversity as fast as mammals go
@PetHub, actually, Mustelidae is polyphyletic, it now contains only thirty extant species within twelve genera and a single surviving subfamily.
@@indyreno2933 I mean diverse just by characteristics. For an example, bats are obviously very diverse by number of species, but there just isn't a ton of variation.
@@indyreno2933 its not polyphyletic, you don't have proof that it is.
@CutiePieAlphadon (Minish4rk), it is polyphyletic because Mustelidae does not include skunks, stink badgers, badgers, otters, zorillas, muishunds, shulangs, huros, grisons, wolverines, tayras, and martens anymore, just like Viverridae does not include mongooses, malagasy carnivorans, genets, oyans, linsangs, and the african palm civet anymore, the skunks, stink badgers, badgers, otters, zorillas, muishund, shulang, huro, grisons, wolverine, tayra, martens, african palm civet, linsangs, oyans, genets, mongooses, and malagasy carnivorans now belong to the families Mephitidae, Melidae, Lutridae, Ictonychidae, Nandiniidae, Prionodontidae, Poianidae, Genettidae, Herpestidae, and Eupleridae respectively, while Mustelidae is now restricted to only the weasels, ferrets, and minks and Viverridae is now restricted to only the civets.
I would love a video on Binturongs! They are sometimes called Bear-Cats as well but they are neither but they are certainly my favorite animal!
Binturong is the correct name for Arctictis binturong, in fact, it is neither a bear or a cat, it is actually a large civet.
Hank Green has a video about binturongs.
I even have a pin that I wear of one.
They have an entire series on strange animals and it's wonderful.
I'm sorry that I can't remember the series name.
It's like Fantastic Animals or something.
I do know that Hank is associated with it.
Anyway, if you can find it, I think you'll enjoy the series.
All about Fantastic Beasts.
I love your channel, man. Seeing your love for these animals and your enthusiasm for your field is so refreshing. It's also nice to see you bring on guests and family members to share these creatures with them. Thank you for the content you provide.
I've only ever heard of the Binturong being referred to as 'Bear-cats'. Unlike bears and red pandas they are more closely related to cats, though they themselves are not cats, they are a part of a separate group of animals, the Viverids along with Genets and Civets. All of which are found throughout parts of Asia, Africa and Europe.
When are we gone to get a “Grizzly bear best pet bear?” Clint really dropping the ball here
Great video just one small correction on the Asiatic Black Bear part, while they do not overlap with Sloth Bears for the most part, they are indeed found on the Indian subcontinent, subspecies like, Balochistan Black Bear, Indo-Chinese Black Bear, Tibetan Black Bear and the Himalayan Black Bear can be found on the Indian subcontinent though usually found in the Foothills of the Himalayas at much higher altitudes than where Sloth Bears are found and in much colder environments, although in some places like the State of Assam, they may overlap.
The fact that asian bears all have collars despite relation, is one of the most interesting facts I've learned in a long time.
@6:00 Thank you for shouting out Arctotherium Angustidens! Most people think the Pleistocene only had wooly mammoths. But there was SO much more, 700lb lions, 1,000lb saber tooth cats, with 700lb varieties everywhere. homotherium which hunted small proboscid's in packs like hyenas. terror birds (titanis), a horse that could fight a terror bird (equus giganteus), a bison (latifrons) that functioned similarly to a black rhino, giant ground sloths that functioned like hippo's (eremotherium), 14 ft sturgeon in every river, a camel that functioned like a giraffe (Titanotylopus), running hyena's (chasmporthetes), a giant tortoise (Gopherus Hexagonatus who I think you've mentioned?) and that's just the coolest stuff from north/south america! the heaviest land animal since the dinosaurs lived in south east Asia in the Pleistocene! 24 murican tons, 16 feet at the shoulder Palaeoloxodon Namadicus! Ok, now I'm going to finish the video.
😯 I did not realize Palaeoloxodon got that big. I always thought that Columbian mammoths were the largest proboscideans.
I just wanted to say that I’m autistic and I have a mild special interest in phylogeny. I LOVE these videos and get very excited to watch them! ❤
Why haven't i encountered this channel before? You have so many subs and your content is so thorough and informative. It's time to deep dive into all the videos.
he keeps bringing up the chuckwalla who would win thing every video and i love it lol

When you do your video i hope you are not biased and dont exclude facts
1) He failed to follow the law and get rid of his illegal inventory after the law changed!
2) They didnt suspend his licenses for 3 years for each offense or fine him a min of 750$ for each offense!
3) Did he pay the fees as required by law?
4) It is not cruel method! (even ignoring snakes "pain" is nothing like what we feel) brain destruction is the quickest way to lose consciousness! Any person that claims it is cruel better not approve of hunting or eating meat which is far more cruel ways to die!
But you will bow to the extremists and give them the story they want!
What they are trying to do is turn every person who against the extinction of native species into a person who says ban all foreign snakes and reptiles!
i must've been under a rock for a while, but this is incredible, i loved this entire video. I particularly enjoyed that you started with the outliers first and less commonly known bears. I cant wait to see another video like this!
You would make anyone with a fear of any kind of animal nor fear them. You smile a lot, do comedy, & have a relaxed personality. Also, I enjoy your videos. Thank you
Which is why it will now be his fault if you get eaten by a bear :)
I watched a documentary of a Grolar or Pizzly Bear shot in 2006. When they cut open its stomach there were parts of a seal and what appeared to be some type of rodent like a lemming or ground squirrel. There also might have been some plant matter like roots but I can’t verify this. Clearly it was more opportunistic than most polar bears much like a brown bear.
I love this format of content. Thank you!
Would love a video on mustelidaes aswell as Red Pandas. Red Pandas are one of my fav animals of all time and mustelidae is one of my fav groups of animals!
This video was neat….curious for all the bears about interactions with people, whether really dangerous or like a giant panda…..a video on the weasel family would be interesting!
I’m glad I started watching the bloopers, they’ve always been entertaining but this one especially gave me a chuckle
This is the first time I have come across your channel and really like this video. I follow several wildlife and paleo channels, nicely presented with family tree, working your way from the outliers to the more closely related.
Clint I cannot tell you how much I love this sort of content. I could listen for hours. Please continue.
ua-cam.com/video/cIJkTw9OeKQ/v-deo.html thank me later. Lol
Sloth bears are found where I live and we are more terrified of them(along with elephants) than we are of crossing paths with tigers, gaurs and hyenas(all of which are also present here). While herping here in ghats we keep an eye out for aforementioned sloth bears and elephants. Similarly while trekking in Himalayas we heard stories of Himalayan black bear attacks and had to steer clear of those while Himalayan brown bears are far more shy.
Can I just say this was absolutely superb! Well done sir!
I've been waiting for this one Clint! Bears are my favorite animals in the world!
Your videos are always so interesting and I’ve became a big fan of your content! Never knew about the Qinling Panda and always assumed it was a genetic anomaly because of Minecraft xD
Also I got to see the only Indian bear in a zoo in England recently!
I wanna learn about the Musteloids!
are Binturongs in that group? Man what is *up* with those things, definitely one of the mammals of all time
And binturongs are yet another animal called 'bearcat'
Small carnivorans are not a monophyletic group, the term is used for only those that belong to the superfamilies Procyonoidea, Musteloidea, and Viverroidea, Procyonoidea contains four extant families: Mephitidae (Skunks and Stink Badgers), Procyonidae (Raccoons and Bassarisks), Ailuridae (Red Panda and Fossil Relatives), and Nasuidae (Coatis, Kinkajou, Olingos, and Olinguito), Musteloidea contains four extant families: Melidae (Badgers), Mustelidae (Weasels, Ferrets, Minks, and Fossil Relatives), Lutridae (Otters), and Ictonychidae (Zorillas, Muishund, Shulang, Huro, Grisons, Wolverine, Tayra, and Martens), and Viverroidea contains seven extant families: Nandiniidae (African Palm Civet and Fossil Relatives), Prionodontidae (Linsangs), Poianidae (Oyans), Genettidae (Genets), Viverridae (Civets), Herpestidae (Mongooses), and Eupleridae (Malagasy Carnivorans), the binturong is actually a civet, these three superfamilies Procyonoidea, Musteloidea, and Viverroidea are not closely related to each other at all despite superficial similarities, both Procyonoidea and Musteloidea belong to the suborder Caniformia, while Viverroidea belongs to the suborder Feliformia.
3:13 maybe that bony protrusion is where the naming came come. It possibly reminded the person who named the panda of the dew claw of cats.
i love this series, cant wait to see what the next one will be
Clint do musteloidea, pretty please!!! There are some really rad members in that group. I love your phylogeny videos, they are very educational.

Cat Foot refers to their ability to walk silently through the forest.
Excellent video. The scripts for these are really clever!
As someone who plays Minceraft: Yes I knew brown panda's existed.
I do believe that "panda bear" is a better name than "giant panda", because, well, it is a bear with panda traits. The real pandas are the red panda and its extinct relatives (some of which, like Simocyon, may as well be called "bear pandas").
Panda bears used to be more diverse, with stuff like Indarctos being cursorial predators, so, well, both panda bears and spectacled bears are the chill survivors of lineages that seemed to be aggressive predators.
EDIT: I believe that sun bears nowadays are often included within Ursus rather than on their own genus, mostly due to black bears being more closely related to them than to the brown bear, the type of the genus. Then again, each bear species has had its own genus at some point of time. :)
It says on wikipedia that unlike mitochondrial gene sequencing, nuclear g.s. still supports their exclusion from Ursus, so that's weird.
@@matyaskassay4346 At times they are recovered as basal to the brown+black clade, but often they are recovered as shown in the phylo tree used; speciation went really fast in living Ursinae in any case, and bears ARE known to hybridize in the wild and have fertile offspring.
@@matyaskassay4346 Where's this info? All i could find is, [QUOTE] For many decades, the precise taxonomic classification of the giant panda was under debate because it shares characteristics with both bears and raccoons. However, molecular studies indicate the giant panda is a true bear, part of the family Ursidae. These studies show it diverged about 19 million years ago from the common ancestor of the Ursidae; it is the most basal member of this family and equidistant from all other extant bear species. The giant panda has been referred to as a living fossil. [UNQUOTE] Being the most basal (primitive) of the family Ursidae this may explain the findings you're referring to, Panda bear is very fitting they are generally to close to Spectacled bears not to be in Ursidae, they are in the true bear family Ursidae, with the genus (Ursus) being the true representative of the family with (Ursus) being Latin word for bear.
@@zebedeemadness2672 uh sorry if I wasn't clear enough, I was talking about sun bears, not pandas.
@@matyaskassay4346 Arr! Apologies my error, i scan read Ursis as Ursidae and assumed you was referring to Panda bears 🐼.
I'm a little surprised you didn't mention that until (relatively) recently (1870), brown bears were even present in (North) Africa (Atlas Bear). Either way, great video Clint!
So that's why there are no bears in Africa.
Great job do more videos about animals other than reptiles. I like how you go deeper than other such lists.
Great video Clint. I am completely and totally obsessed with red pandas and would love more than anything to see you do a video on them
Best pet bear soon now
Yes 🤩 give us ALL the phylogenies!
I was literally just looking this up xD. This video couldn't possibly come on a better moment! 😁
Yes please make more of these videos!
Hi Clint, loved the video!! I'm hoping that in October, you'll give a shout-out to my favorite yearly event, Katmai National Park's Fat Bear Week! Every year, for a week, people get to vote on who they think the absolute fattest bear is (in preparation for hibernation), and I think it's just absolutely delightful.
Only the polar bear is an obligate carnivore like Clint said hyper carnivores, most bears are omnivores. Through I suspect they have the capacity to return to an omnivorous diet that global warming might force.
The giant panda like the cheetah does have semi retractable claws. The bamboo ferments in their digestive tracts so yes there is a case to say they are drunk most of their lives XD
Members of the order Carnivora are more correctly called carnivorans, as the name of the order suggests, a majority of placental mammals belonging to this order are predators, all carnivorans have carnassials, which are modified cheek teeth.
This guy would be a crazy sports analyst
The problem with grizzly x polar bear hybrids is we can't always easily tell which individuals are hybrids and which individuals aren't. I can't remember which study this was, but there was a study involving DNA sampling of grizzly bears that found a large number of grizzly x polar bear hybrids that went much farther back than expected.
Another fun bear thing: a study was done on what was presumed to be bigfoot or yeti fur kept in places worldwide. There were two surprises: one was raccoon fur from an area without raccoons, the other is a type of bear that lived in the area the sample came from during the last ice age and was presumed extinct rather than the modern ones that live in the area. The hunter who took down the bear was very confused about that bear because it didn't act like the bears he normally hunted. There might be another Lazarus Taxon roaming around the mountains of India and Nepal.
It's a shame you didnt do the sucker punch of introducing Ursus Arctos given its name sounds more like it should be the Polar Bear
Actually, that's because "arctos" also means "bear" in latin.
I’d like to see you do a feature episode on the species that survived some of the greatest mass extinction events in world history.
We did one of those in December. I like the idea of doing more!
My guess would be some shark in case of large animals
really good! thanks Clint
"The easiest way to distinguish between an American Black Bear and an Asian Black Bear is by knowing which continent you're on."
I lol'd.
Polar Bears and Brown Bears are actually more closely related then some people think. Despite there very different lifestyles and diet, there have been documented occurrences of Grolar Bears or Pizzly Bears which are a hybrid of a Polar Bear and Brown Bear. This is because both bear populations now overlap in some parts of the world. This is mostly due to climate change in recent decades where polar bears have been pushed further south due to the decrease in sea ice and the brown bear population spreading further north due to the warming temperatures.
Edit: oh he talked about that at the end of the video lol
This is going to be great. As someone who grew up playing DnD (sadly not in years), I cannot wait to hear about the Owlbear!

@@indyreno2933 they missed owlbears...
I was going to be very disappointed if you did not use a clip from the Office, but you surprised me at the end..Great job
In India, There is the Chandi Mata Temple dedicated to Sloth Bears in Karnataka state.
not gonna lie... I am surprised that the cow-bird footage was shown. Perhaps a little warning for more sensitive viewers?
Was looking for this comment. I was not prepared and would have appreciated a warning
Yeah😑like I don't need to see that or think about which douche bags filmed that
Man i would LOVE a detailed episode on each one of these
A video about the musteloids would be stinkin' rad!
I had the Office's reference in my head the entire time. The end bit gave me immense relief.
I love your stuff.
the smooth part of my brain is telling me to hug them😂
I love your phylogeny videos! I am going to university for biology, and phylogeny is really the thing that helps me understand all other aspects of biology. I think it's a really underrated topic. Also you are just really good a presenting and make a topic that can be of be pretty dry really engaging!
This video was awesome and I would definitely love to see a musteloid video as well

What I love is the fact that Antarctica and the arctic were basically named based on whether they have bears or not…. 😂
I love Mustelidae and a video on Musteloids would be amazing!!!! ^-^
Man the quality of these videos is insane!
Sloth bears song is all I need for Christmas is my 2 front teeth.
Ha! 3:30 Literally at the end of the sentence "... Who wouldn't scarf up a little bird if given the chance?" I immediately got an ad for Chic Fillet 😂

@@indyreno2933 Well it seems like that just about covers it then! No need for Clint to make a video about them after all.
These videos are awesome definitely cool getting to learn the scientific language and the story behind it.
I love you Clint for including the meters and kgs, I can actually follow the video 😭
What an awesome video. Thanks so much. Yes please about red pandas. :)
yes! i want to see a video of all the mustelids! there arent enough videos about fishers. ill subscribe so ill get the notification if the video comes out.
Clint i absolutely need you to do a mustelidae one pleaaaaase! 😍
Now this was a fun video
