That toxic lake. It is always good to know more about the birthplace of my mother-in-law.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOH
Birthplace of My ex's brother
@@caseyharbridge6520 huh maybe your mother in-law and mine are related.
Lmao!!!!!!
Lollll
The Movile cave sounds really fascinating being such an isolated ecosystem for millions of years. From the perspective of all the critters in there, that cave is the entire world and always has been. Its kind of like if aliens found us some day and discovered that our earth and the life on it had broken off of their planet billions of years ago lmao
*Knock Knock*
The men in Black: "Evening Sir can you come with us, we just want a quick word". 👀😂
lmao
The lmao at the end
Panspermia
The fact that 15 of the species discovered in the movile cave were already known is I think a far more interesting statistic
😂😂
I mean known means also dead remains that are 5million years old
@@nacl7991 that kind of makes it even crazier. Like a treasure trove of Coelacanth tier discoveries!
"600 hundred colorless compounds and how to draw them" why have I not seen a comment calling out how top tier this joke is
Could you imagine being one of those miners to break through into the crystal cave, and for the first time ever, see huge 12 metre long crystals
OMG they found Superman’s summer residence.
Gonna smoke me some crystal, man...
Yeah and I'm sure the first few guys almost died not realizing that water was condensing in their lungs til it was too late. If you see a pretty cave, dont just go wandering in there, no matter how tempting it might be lol.

*3 new species of spiders discovered in an isolated cave*

Can we start burying them back down
@@randomcatmeow1394 can we start burying them ALL underground. or send them somewhere far away. i hear the sun is nice this time of year
@@lunaargentum1743 yeets them into a fiery pit of doom
So thats how muffet ended up there
3 new species of spider yet to be found on Mars.
Me: Will Boring company find those?
Honestly the cause of the crooked forest is probably to give Home Depot a ready supply of hardwood for their lumber section.

Oof 😅
Underrated comment! 🤣

Hahahaha !
I Appreciate the effort put into this.
Come now, the narrators are not that bad... and not that old.
UPDATE 2019 the cave in naica flooded again so the selenite is growing once more
Thanks for the update!
Nice
hell yeah, you go selenite crystals
Thanks for the news. Selenite is beautiful.
That makes me happy
You helped me so much in my time of suffering.
I was in prison and got kicked out of the puppy program bc guys are worse then women by no fault of my own the whole time in the clink I never got a ticket or disciplinary action.
When we got tablets (I know tablets in prison?? WTF?? But it's a babysitting tool like a lot of parents do send them off to the tv or tablet game system ext.
Long story short your few min videos helped me more to stay outta trouble and escaped even if only a few mins I leaned a whole lot and by you making these videos you made my day a lil brighter
Thank you for all you have done I appreciate you tremendously and respect you more

That's no good way to get iron in your diet, ComaDave!
I wondered if someone would say that. Nailed it !
Interesting they say that heavy things resting on trees make them grow bent. I've always been impressed at the way trees in fence lines or walls actually grow around the obstructions without pushing them out of the way. I've seen bikes and even an iron bedstead perfectly incorporated into a tree, and only raised up with it, rather than pushed aside. On an even more sensitive and delicate scale, you can even find mushrooms with grass leaves incorporated in their caps, that have neatly grown around the leaves without even pushing them aside. I've always been impressed at how sensitive the growing trees and fungi must be to keep growing without disturbing the things around them.
Fascinating! Thank you for sharing your observation.
I believe that depends on a lot of factors, but one of the most notable ones might be the fact that all of those items are made of narrow metal bars and thin metal wire or rods. Importantly, nothing larger than a tree trunk and often with enough space for branches to wrap around. Note a tree planted too close to an outdoor canopy, something that would take a lot of force to hold up, let alone push. The tree will avoid it altogether.
@@devonstaggs9470 I don't get your point: most of these things were bigger than the tree/or mushroom, when it started growing, but there are also many hedgerow trees you will find with fence wires right through them. I've seen pictures on line, of bikes sticking out of trees they were supposedly lent against and forgotten, but I'd have to double check they weren't photo shopped these days. On an atomic scale, you might like to read up on the physics of policemen and their bikes, in Ireland, in Flann O'brien's surreal musings in his 'The Third Policeman'. The BBC did a very good reading of it that you should be able to find, too. :)
They do disturb things given enough time,😂trees fall on buildings daily, roots break into basements or break up concrete, some trees got some force after a couple decades
That's a kind of bias, if you will. These 'funky' trees are often left standing specifically because of their funky look/way they wrapped around stuff. As a non-mobile organism a tree needs to deal with what it was given/where it is growing. Additionally, they can't really choose all that well in what direction they grow to and that flexibility will differ between species. Some can deal with leaning a bit... others really can't.
Gymnosperms for example are quite 'basic' when it comes to the structure of their wood. They tend to have a very clearly dominant 'tip' and can reach intense heights by going straight up. And they will grow around other stuff like crazy - because it's the only possible way to stay stable. The drawback is: these points of enclosure are a wound. They will always be a possible entry point for pathogens and a weak point in the next storm. So the plant would rather not... but has to.
Angiosperms on the other hand... they will just push through rock and burst it, if they are adapted to life in a rocky place with little soil. Or just die if they prefer something more mulchy... plants come in so many versions and with so many abilities... it's pretty much impossible to say 'trees do xy' and not leave some of them out.
Mushrooms are different though. The parts we see/eat are functionally more similar to fruits, not 'the main organism itself' and are pushed out within days. They grow by piling on cells on top and of course anything they'd have to 'push up' would mean more energy has to be invested... so they don't. They don't care about stability long term. So it's very different from trees.
TL;DR: some do, some don't, people like them so they leave them to be happy about their exisetence.
I wish there were more visuals! The explanations are fascinating, but I would have liked them as voiceovers, so we could see more of these places.
It was very frustrated, I wanted to see the fascinating places and things not him. I'm good with his narration but surely it would have been easy to download some pics.
So frustrating. Watching an amateur narrator put emphasis on every syllable rather than the images or video of what he's talking about is so weird
Exactly my thoughts. I particularly wanted to see wider shots of the weird forests.
They don't have their own images. They are cheap bastards. That wish to become rich
Agree 100% with the original post. More pics of the places. You can talk I. The background
The second batch of crooked trees that all faced the same direction...the first thing that comes to mind is an explosion leveling them all. It would produce a 90 degree bend and those trees--much smaller back then---would straighten up and continue growing after that. Younger stems are much more resilient to extreme trauma whereas an older grove would be left with a thin strip of live bark connecting the two halves.
Lots of fun theories about the Richat structure and Atlantis. It is incredibly easy to find seashells, fishbone fossils, and other stuff all over the place there indicating that it was once underwater and the science is pretty conclusive that it was. Also, Plato wrote about Atlantis and the location he gives is pretty much right where the Richat structure is. He also talks about it being a city that was made of multiple circles with water around the circles and a great port. If you look at the structure there's a location that kinda looks like it would have been port. Further, very few archeological digs have been done there.
I believe the measurements match up as well
All we need is to convince some billionaire to fund digs there in the name of immortality via historical humanity discovery. That is, unless the billionaires already know more about some stuff related here that we common folk can't afford to pay for the knowledge of...
There was a CIA document released to the public about it. It’s pretty hilarious. They redacted almost every single word in the document lmfaooooo.
fun fact: Plato made everything thing about Atlantis up. He.made.everything.up. So stop trying to find it. ITS.NOT.REAL.
From the host's description, the Richat Structure is essentially an eroded huge hernia in the body of Earth.

Well... it is a compilation, so, each location is taken from different video.
But, have you considered, Why?
This documentary has offered some great names for my new grindcore band. Blood Falls, Acid Lake, Breathing Iron and Dissolved Metal!!
What about cave of swords
Austin Davis that’s more black metal tbh
Wèwwwwwwwww E aå
You do that.
Also love that you called this a documentary.
Also would work for metalcore bands trying to sound like heavy or death metal bands
Absolutely lovr to learn about weird places in order not to go there so that they can proceed to be weird. Wr have a habit of ruining stuff and I don't wanna know what wreckage we'll do with that cave that was sealed away and now no longer is.
omg thats amazing how it shows the complimentary color of the metal ions original color.. my jaw literally dropped im so glad u guys make videos like this i woulda have Never learned that stuff, thanks guys :) if everybody would watch some of this kind of stuff, i bet a few puzzle pieces would fall into place
The Naica Cave (Giant crystal cave) has already re-filled with water as mining operations stopped early spring. While scientists were exploring them they also found fluid filled voids within those crystals, opened them up, found ancient microbes, and reanimated them.

@@jimr9499 you and your logic and sound reasoning, pffftttt!!!!
In the mountains here in Wyoming, there are many trees with the same contorted shapes. They are formed by being bent down by heavy snow, then the trunk remains bent, but the top starts to grow back toward the sky the next summer.
Called a krummholz.
We have that here in Colorado too. It happens mostly with the aspen trees, but now and then you'll see some pines that are that way too. There used to be lots of Krummholz near or above tree line, but most of those have been taken by tourists and commercial interests who want to make lamps, coffee tables, and other junkie stuff out of them. Kinda sux. They were nicer in the wild, and were places where alpine birds used to nest.
Yeah my trees are curved from snow also I walk around and braid or twist the small ones if they are super close together one day some one may do a show in that lol.
@@bitkrusher5948That’s pretty knotty
I know some people have plans to investigate if the Eye of Sahara could be the remains of the legendary Atlantis. They believe that the area has been raised by tectonic activity and when it was on a lower level it got flooded due to events of the last ice age. They want so see if they can find artifacts in the area, and they think they have found many things about the site that fit with written descriptions of Atlantis. Not only the circular features, but also descriptions of the mountains around it.
Wait! So that water scorpion was a new species found exclusively there!? As a kid I fed worms to two of those in a very dark and stale rainwater barell in our garden for a while. I NEVER ever found anything on the internet about what they were, and I never saw anything like them again, after my dad repurposed the before abandoned barrel. The creatures looked EXACTLY like in this picture.
I discovered those by trying to drown a bug in that pitch black water, out of curiosity and because children can be absolutely cruel creatures. 😂
They basically attacked the bug on the water surface and sank down into the abyss with it, presumably eating it.
That was a picture of a giant water bug, not the water scorpion that is found in that cave. They do look similar though, if you look up pictures. You were feeding giant water bugs - if you see one again, do be careful, they have one of the most painful bites of any insect.
You're a crackhead
Breathing Iron is the most metal thing i have ever heard, right after Meshuggah!

Al red blooded lifeforms breathe iron since iron in our blood is what lets it carry oxygen around the body.
@@cookeymonster83 that's an entirely different process though. Eg you've got crabs with blue blood because they have copper instead. As the dude said, the bacteria reacts with the sulfur and iron in such a way that it essentially "breathes" them externally
Seeing meshuggah in the top comment made me so happy haha

There's a dancing tree patch atop a hill in Burgenland, Austria. Pretty neat to have seen one.
The cave shows that once live gets started it’s tenacious but more it shows that on an ice moon it’s possible. Thing is, if life is chemical than that probably means that life most likely starts underground or deep in the ocean.
The fact that all these weird animals live in such harsh conditions makes it seems really likely there's life in the universe closer to us than we think
Hayden Armstrong on Uranus ?
other people are lifr in this universe, you yourself are life in this universe, all of us are close together in a universe sized sandbox
Myanus?

I think its an absolute at this point, that there is life elsewhere within our own solar system. Its just a matter of time before we find it. Mars, Venus, Europa, Ganymede, Enceladus, Titan, etc.....who knows? It seems life finds a way, regardless of conditions here on Earth.

Coronavirus you cant autocorrect numbers man
i hope they sealed that cave back up so as to not screw up the delicate balance the ecosystem has struck
The pumps pumping water out of the cave were turned off and the cave was allowed to flood again in 2015. Two years before this video was uploaded. Odd he didn't mention it.
The cave is now once again inaccessible to people, and the crystals have no doubt resumed their happy crystal-growing-ness.
@@RS250Squid I think this person was talking about the other cave that had a bunch of strange organisms. Since it had been closed off for like 5million years, I imagine introducing new microorganisms and life by leaving it open could wreak havoc.
Sounds like you're just afeared of translucent spiders
um screw that ecosystem, seal it back up to preserve OUR ecosystem from those kaiju spiders in there

Sadly no blue flames, but very impressive.
The smell of rotten eggs was really strong and we still stunk of it a few days after it.
There were miners working there too, carrying these heavy packs of sulphur stone upwards. Usually they had no gasmasks, or even normal shoes.
Strange place to be.
Why no blue flames??
@@drewg4323 Having fires in an already polluted place might be a health hazard?
@@SkunkInARug Are you high??
@@drewg4323 With none of the due respect, what is that suposed to mean? Perhaps my answer was stupid and illogical, but none of us will ever know the answer as to why there are no flames. With the description of workers not following even basic health standars, i speculated that they decided having open flames was too dangerous, which isn't that big of a stretch. At no point was i ridiculing you or making fun of you, and I'm sorry if it came across that way but your response is really weird and illogical.
@@SkunkInARug They could have said "oh we had to leave early" or "oh it only happens in the right conditions" or "oh we weren't in the right area" or...actually, nevermind, you'll figure it out someday.
Though, you seem extremely high strung, maybe you SHOULD get high to knock you down a few pegs.
Burning wood will display colored flames too, the soil where they are growing contributes various minerals, for some reason maple seems to display this best.
That crystal cave, if there was enough water and enough time, could the crystals grow so large that they fill in the entire cave and make it one gigantic deposit of gypsum? That would be cool I think.
I've seen a grove of weird trees very similar to those described. An entire grove of conifers, all the same age, with an identical 90 degree bend in the trunk pointing in the same direction, but the trunks all did this little spiral before growing straight again. This was in North America though, in the Rocky Mountains in Idaho. I seriously doubt it was done intentionally as I randomly stopped on the side of the highway to rest and just found them there, in the middle of nowhere.
I found a small spot maybe 50 foot around like that near Guerneville, Northern California. Not only were all the trees bent 90 degrees with a spiral twist before going up again. Standing in that area I could lean toward the East without falling down.

Not to be a know-it-all, but maybe you meant Socotra?
Master Therion The internet is no mere place. It is an idea. It is a shared thought process, where stupidity and genius are applauded. Where dank memes fight for relevance, and news both true and false spread faster than a fungal infection. Where your deepest, darkest fantasy is fulfilled and shared.

The Dancing Forest looks almost exactly like a coastal pine forest in my home town Halmstad in Sweden.
Here's a video of a walk through it:
ruclips.net/video/9xvwtJcy_lg/видео.html
The trees start to become twisted at around the 4:10 mark.
In the video you can spot several pines with trunks that loop down so much they actually go back into ground, making it difficult (at a glance) in some cases to tell which trees they're actually part of.
Beautifully shot video!
Glad you liked it! It's a pretty awesome place.
what i can take is that there are all forms of life that doesn't need what we need to live
These places make one think that life somehow always finds a way. We should be looking for life outside of the goldilocks zones as well.
Surely they already are they just won’t be reporting it
Unless you are planning on funding that research, they are probably going to stick with the most likely places for life.
Even as wild as these places in the video are, they are still on our life filled planet.
its crazy the things discovered in the earth by mining operations, what is kind of unknown and bothers me greatly is that these operations (even in Nevada) have very little public involvement. I have talked with miners that can attest to coming across vast underground caves with wondrous crystal structures that they blast through to get to what ever deposits they are going for (gold in that Nevada mine). And the companies are rarely owned by the area that is being mined. And.......ugh
That handmade fonjt on the beware toxic gas sign is very nice

@2:01 "...you'd drown in your own lungs." As opposed to drowning in some one else's lungs, I guess.

@@owenf2835 One man's comic relief is another man's picky. C'est la Vie.
Half an hour inside the cave, yet we can do spacewalks that last over 8 hours.. crazy!
To be fair, I doubt the researchers have anywhere near the funding that NASA has. If only there was more interest in the cave that could lead to public funding and innovations in suit technology.
@@orchdork775 Yea, still I'm sure they probably had some decent funding if they at least had a refrigeration suit. But still, space is a lot more hospitable than some places on Earth, like deep underwater, or underground. Which is kind of weird..
And it's also about long term priorities, like, space is our eventual future and so probably has a higher priority than some dusty old cave.. :-)
A cold vacuum is easy to handle. Keep the air in and warm up.
But nothing compares to the challenge of getting into a hot place full of corrosive chemicals. For extra fun add some radioactivity. Cooling is way harder than heating and corrosive chemicals limit your choice of materials for sealing.

Hey sishow I recently looked on the sahara from Google earth and saw what looked like water marks or evidence of a flood. I would appreciate a video looking into that
The part about the Dancing Forest reminded me about I once read while researching my ancestor. In Arkansas, USA, the Native Americans used to tie saplings in such a way that they would bend into an L shape. They did this to mark trails. They are called Signal Trees if you want to google any info about them.
Wow that’s really cool! I’ll have to look into that, thank you for sharing :)
@flibbertygibbet How very interesting! I just looked up about your Indian Trail Trees and it's fascinating.....
Yeah, I’ve found quite a few of them here in the Ouchitas, also on Heavener Mountain in Oklahoma.

I suspect that the 'mystery' of the Crooked Forest is far simpler than most would expect. Consider the Tunguska Event of 1908 which flattened half a million acres of trees, caused by a (relatively) slow-moving meteoroid estimated to have been around 250' in diameter; a similar event with a smaller, faster meteoroid could well have sheared 'downwind' saplings to produce the 90° bends. Those killed by the event would have swiftly decomposed while the survivors would have grown to right themselves in the precise manner seen here.
"Nard-rocking!" Said an excited Hank Green. 🤣😂
I love the energy of the host! Great plain language scientific explanations. 🌟💫✨ I just wish they’d show the pictures of the actual places longer.

Somehow i prefer British English. It is like chocolate to the ears.
Never realized how fast Hanks beard can grow, like 2.5 frames later and its already almost 5 o clock?!?!?!?
Impressive!
Ground slip or under ground activity usually causes the tree shape. We have huge pines that were 'slipped' or disturbef at least twice over the course of their long life. Mad wacky trunk shapes..
I like how you use your entire wardrobe in one video. Further... interesting info.
Here's a question/idea for an upcoming video; what if the ocean was freshwater? Granted more of it would freeze, but how much? And the ocean life would be different, but how? And how would it affect the climate? It's an interesting thought.
Kyle Cherry try posting this on r/AskScience
Anassor Bestiak Is it SciShow's Reddit?
I don't think the ocean, if it was freshwater, would remain non-salty for long. Considering that there are landlocked lakes that are as salty if not saltier than the ocean, salt accumulation is just part of the environment.
I thought the ocean was freshwater first then billion years of rain washed the salt in the dirt into the ocean; hence the ocean becomes salty. Am I right?
Well if the ocean was freshwater we'd be in an eternal ice age since ocean currents wouldn't exist since they only work due to the salinity of the water which is why melting of ice caps is a big concern because if ocean currents are disrupted we could start another ice age, ocean currents transfer heat all over the world

Thanks for showing us a picture of blood falls.

Yes... I see that... it's horrifying
I live in a forest with bent trees like that. Black Forest, Colorado is a ponderosa pine forest and the Ute indians that lived in the area purposefully shaped trees with a bend. The horizontal length of the tree before it was allowed to turn back up represented the length of a life. There are other shapes including loops that have different meanings. They are called Ute prayer trees and there are many throughout this area.
Just supports the theory that those shapes were manmade as well (but forgotten about before they got rediscovered)
Damn that 22 min went fast. Really interesting stuff. And I think those 90 degrees trees are human made for ships or something. You can steam wood if you want to bend it, but it's imply easier when the tree is already bend
Texas has one of those big eroded dome eyes down in the Big Bend. It's crazy looking.
Not as crazy as the chili cook off near there, but still.🤠👍
THIS. IS. AWESOME.
FINALLY a presentation that has introduced me to a couple places I was previously aware of. Other RUclips postings always recycle the same 5 to 10 sites. This one gave me something new. Thank you.
How manly are you?

Im very scheptical about conspiracy theories but if you look it up there are actually many theories that connect the eye of the sahara to the lost city of atlantis. Pretty cool topic imo.
That was a really cool compilation! 👍 And I really, really want to learn more about those trees!
I really like these compilation videos. Makes it much easier to gather information about a specific topic.
My favorite of these are the Bloodfalls though. 13:05
"weird things are found in caves, Grendel's mom"
Me: I know right, I've heard someone found a Ring in a cave once, it was quite....Precious
Yes.... *MY* precious
🤣💜
There are trees bent like those shown here, in West Virginia's Dolly Sods and Spruce Knob areas of the the national forests there.
The eye of the sahara. Some people even believe that it is actually where the lost city of atlantis was, and some maps from pluto and other old maps says that is where it was

In Denmark we just believe trolls to live in such forests.
Carewolf, superstitios people do

Superstition is the flip side of faith.
Makes you think about all the organisms we don’t know about on Earth
how can you think about them if we dont know about them
yeme Woah
And the numerous species we kill everyday :(
There was once a philosophy about why we should care about the ants in the dirt or the worms in the ground. We have all stepped on an ant? Or we all have used a worm as bait? If not literally, figuratively.
sofaking onmynuts I try to not step on ants or any other things that are alive .I hardly ever wear shoes and I have heaps of worms in my soil and if I see one in an unsafe place like where on about dig I move it and if I accidentally hit one while I do the gardening I feel really bad
I even relocate poisonous spiders and I'm scared of spiders not to mention I live in Australia and we got some really poisonous things crawling around here but I don't kill them either if I can possibly help it . I've mostly found spiders to be quite agreeable usually unless it's mating season or it's a female with a nest .
There are twisted trees like that in Saskatchewan as well called The Crooked Bush.
“Grendel’s mom” 😆 had me laughing way too hard. Been a while since I’ve read that poem.
Expected my son's bedroom to be listed here. Click bait?

The Lake district in N W England contains a denuded anticline from its ancient volcanic ancestry. Looking at its silhouette from our kitchen window about 40 miles south was like looking at a geography textbook diagram.
Hank talking about breathing iron like it’s something special and there aren’t mechanics who have been inhaling brake dust and cleaner for 20 years and are still kickin
There is a theory that the "eye of the Sahara" was the site of Atlantis back when the Sahara was green and lush. It's an intriguing idea worth checking out because if the eye was once full of water it fits the description of Atlantis and there is evidence that it was.
He just explained in detail what it is, Atlantis was a mythical city in a story created by Plato it never existed it was a fictional place.
@@WokeandProud To add to that, the most likely contestant of Atlantis would be the Minoans as they were so far ahead of the surrounding civilizations, but they almost vanished over night, as the volcano on their main home island erupted and practically blew the entire island apart, sunk several cities and sent a tsunami across the Mediterranean, which is also the largest body of water that Plato would have known of. The Eye of Sahara would already have dried up long ago at Platos time. The story of Atlantis fits best on the disappearance of the Minoan civilization, but the vast majority of it is for sure made up. And for a good reason, as fantasy has a tendency to stay longer in peoples minds than reality. Religion is a perfect example of that.
"Grendel's mom" gets me every time
ikr
David Grendel’s mom has got it goin’ on.
I read beowulf in jan and honestly idk what’s worse. Grendals mom or that cave lol

"What? We don't have any beer? All right, I'll make some."
space microbes, some sort of bacteria living outside the space station. What would be a likely scenario with bacteria, living in the cracks or near the main hatch to the outside? A spot that it could adapt to?

Would microbes prefer a microbrew?
Movile cave...when you self-quarantine for millions of years, weird stuff happens.
ontop of that beautiful circular land (eye of sahara) looks like it would be a great place to build a civilization if it wasnt a desert
Very cool video and well put together! Only suggestion, after describing the most intriguing places on earth and creatures found there, more photos shown during the explanation would make it even better. Thanks for the video!
By far the weirdest thing about giant crystal cave is the absance of a third physical dimension within the cave. What happened to the 30m×10m caves third dimension remains a mystery as does how the cave is able to continue to exist as a 2d structure within a 3d space. Physicist remain puzzled by the discovery and no speculative hypothesis has yet been made despite the decades of access allowed since its decovery.
Is this a joke that’s going over my head? How can anything exist in only 2 dimensions?
Its a joke. Its not possible for a 2 dimensional cave to exist.
Caves are natural 3 dimensional voids in the ground and are often irregularly shaped. As such are usually defined in terms of length and overall volume.
For example according to online resources giant crystal cave is 109m long and has a volume of 5 to 6 thousand cubic meters.
This video describes the cave in terms of an aproximate area (30m x 10m), however as to whether they mean a cross section across one of the principle axis or floor space is not defined.
In the context of the video and taking the statement at face value infers that the cave defies nature and has only 2 dimensions thus making it anomalously "weird". Everybody laughs, we all have a good time looking up the cave up on Wikipedia, we're all mildly amused and better informed for the experiance.
(In a hushed David Attenborough whisper) And here we see the fascinating evolution of Hanks hair...
I know this is a very old video but I just have to comment.
I love how he say it could be a lot less than 5 millions it could be only 2 millions... I understand how big the difference between 5 millions and 2 millions but that doesn't mean I can conceptualize it. Like, I can't picture 2 millions years so 5 millions sounds exactly as outlandish as 2 millions.
wrt the dancing forests: theres a patch of forest like that near where i live, it's right by the ocean, and i was always told that they are shaped like that because of the strong but irregular winds from the ocean... either way they're really cool, and there are a couple of them that just happened to have formed in ways that make them work pretty well as benches :) there are also a lot that were very fun to climb when i was a kid
