Species names can secretly decide if they live or die
There are a lot things that can impact if a species goes #extinct, but there is one thing that might really surprise you...their name! In this video I am going to explain how we come up with species names in the first place, and why their names can have big implications for how we feel about them and what we are willing to do to save them. #ecology #environment #extinction
Chapters:
00:00 Introduction
01:03 How do we name species?
3:34 Don’t call me “common”
4:23: How does that name make you feel?
8:17 Changing a name isn’t easy
9:18 That name sounds delicious!
11:08 Where does all this leave us?

Countdown to extinction: Saving the Last of the Maugean Skate
Просмотров 8175 месяцев назад
#Sharks and #rays are in danger of #extinction. But the Maugean Skate, a unique species of ray found in only one harbour in the whole world, is on the very brink of vanishing forever. With only roughly 1000 individuals left in the wild, rapid action is needed to turn this species around. In this video we will learn all about this amazing species, why it is in trouble, and what is being done to ...

The world is facing an #extinction crisis. This is why scientists all over the world working on what is known as #de-extinction. Their goal is to resurrect species that have gone extinct, re-establish them in the wild, and help restore damaged ecosystems and bring them back to a more natural state. But can de-extinction really help the environment? Let's find out! Chapters 00:00 Introduction 00...

All of us, no matter who we are, have Shifting Baseline Syndrome, a condition where as the natural environment gradually degrades over time, people don’t notice because they do not know or remember what the natural environment looked like in the past.

    19:48 funnily enough, one of the largest mako sharks ever caught was nearly 20 feet in length. While this isn't verified there are pictures of it and that estimate seems to be real. I think great whites often reach larger lengths but makos do sometimes become giants.

    There was a Great White that was in a estuary in Cape Cod and they had a hard time getting it out to sea. Oxygen would deplete and the shark could die of Anoxia. It took a while but they got the animal out to sea saving it's life. The shark was basically harmless. No one was injured.

    The harpoon and barrels trick is an old one from the very early days of whaling. Fisherman would stick small whales non fatally with harpoons only for them to dive below the surface, so they began to attach wooden barrels to the lines to keep the whales close enough to the surface for follow-up spears. I’ve never heard it done with sharks but I’ve also never heard of sharks being hunted by harpoons.

    This movies made me fascinated with white sharks. I did checked out a massive amount of books on them, watched Shark week just to see them fly after seals near South Africa. To the point where one of my bucket list items is to go to the Guadalupe Islands and cage diving while some of the bigger Pacific coastal sharks are coming through. I think they are an amazing beautiful and smart animal. I would rather swim in clear water with a White shark than about any other species. Yes, they are very curious and happen to use their mouth to test things out. They also spy hop like killer whales. I have done some scuba diving and snorkeling many times and only one time out of I don't know how many have I ever seen a big boy shark. I'd guess maybe a 10 - 12 foot tiger shark in the Caribbean probably scoping for some turtle. It swam within about 20 feet of my wife and I turned a bit towards us at which point I took a little few feet swim towards it. It figured out we weren't prey to eat and went on about it's way. Very humbling, but yet beautiful encounter. I sometimes wish I could be in your position to hang with them and study them. Take care and keep up the good information work on these great animals.

    Well, It's a monster movie rather than a shark movie. The shark is more than a shark, it's evil. Not realistic but it,s well made. We care about the characters. And yes, scuba tanks can't explode. I like this movie anyway.

I can't go swimming in a lake without the fear of a shark in my mind. Even though I know how sharks behave and that they don't eat people on purpose it is still my biggest fear. But I wanted to go to the Great Barrier Reef and study all kinds of marine life

    I'm not with you on the "rogue" theory. It's rare, I admit, but you said there is no evidence of any case, and that is misleading. The Jersey shark attacks of 1916 are the best example, where a single shark (the accepted theory by experts. And yes, it is the most accepted theory) killed 4 swimmers and injured a fifth one. Since sharks have a slow digestive system, a shark going after 5 people in this short span of time strongly suggests it was targeting humans. It was most likely a bull shark. Here are some details on the strength of the single shark theory: Historical and Expert Opinions Dr. George Burgess: Background: Dr. Burgess was a noted shark expert and former director of the Florida Program for Shark Research at the Florida Museum of Natural History. Support for Single Shark Theory: In various interviews and publications, Dr. Burgess has suggested that the pattern of the attacks in 1916 aligns with the behavior of a single rogue shark. He has pointed out that the timing and locations of the attacks fit the behavior of a single shark moving along the coast and into the creek. Richard Fernicola: Author and Researcher: Richard G. Fernicola authored "Twelve Days of Terror," a detailed book on the 1916 shark attacks. Analysis: Fernicola's extensive research, including historical records and eyewitness accounts, supports the idea that a single shark was responsible. He examined the attack sites, the nature of the wounds, and the patterns of shark movement, concluding that it was likely one shark that traveled along the coast and entered Matawan Creek. Scientific Analysis Bite Marks and Wounds: Examination: Experts analyzed the wounds of the victims and compared them to known shark bite patterns. The size and shape of the bites were consistent with those of a single shark. Consistency: The consistency of the bite marks across different victims suggests a single shark, as it is unlikely multiple sharks of the same size and species would be present in such a short time frame and specific area. Behavioral Patterns Attack Sequence and Timing: Timeline: The attacks happened over a span of just 12 days. The rapid succession of attacks in a relatively confined area points towards the behavior of a single shark rather than multiple sharks appearing simultaneously and independently. Rogue Shark Behavior: Rogue Shark Theory: The theory of a "rogue" shark suggests that certain sharks might deviate from typical behavior and repeatedly attack humans. The 1916 attacks, with their sudden onset and concentrated timeline, fit this pattern. This behavior has been documented in other instances where sharks exhibit a temporary but aggressive change in behavior, leading to multiple attacks in a short period. Supporting Literature Books and Research Papers: "Twelve Days of Terror" by Richard G. Fernicola: This book provides a detailed narrative and analysis of the 1916 attacks, supporting the single shark theory. Fernicola's meticulous research includes historical documents, medical reports, and interviews with experts. "Close to Shore" by Michael Capuzzo: Another comprehensive account of the 1916 attacks, Capuzzo's book also leans towards the single shark theory, offering a mix of historical storytelling and scientific insight. Documentaries and Media: Documentaries: Programs on networks like the History Channel and Discovery Channel (e.g., during Shark Week) have explored the 1916 attacks in depth. These documentaries often feature expert interviews and analysis that support the single shark theory, highlighting the consistency and unusual nature of the attacks. Conclusion from Authorities Government and Museum Reports: American Museum of Natural History: In the aftermath of the attacks, experts from institutions like the American Museum of Natural History analyzed the incidents. Their findings leaned towards the single shark theory, based on the patterns of attacks and the nature of the wounds. Contemporary Reports: Reports from the time, including those from local authorities and newspapers, also suggested the likelihood of a single shark being responsible, as they described a sequence of attacks that seemed too coordinated and consistent for multiple sharks to be independently involved.
