Backyard chicken owner here. Chickens dig holes called wallows. You can make a healthier wallow for them by mixing peat moss, sandbox sand, and some ash from your fireplace or grill( if you have not used lighter fluid to start your fires). The mixture conditions their feathers and skin, and is more effective against mites.
yeah they love their ash we use a bit of dusty soil and wood ash from our burn pile ( we have a mulberry problem on the property) they love it and it keeps them out of the garden beds (mostly) they still love to try to nibble on my cabbages and dig for bugs
Now I KNOW about why my chickens are always digging up my garden. I water it and they come running to the dirt and seat digging in. Oh, my gosh, thank you.
I think you probably know this, but chickens also dig for insects to eat :) I have found that my chickens like wet soil, as it is also easier to scratch!

I saw crows being smarty pants during Summer to stay cool. They had stolen a roll of tin foil from a house and wrapped themselves in it to reflect light. It kept them cool. It was amazing to see crows doing this.
The fish thing seems pretty easy to explain. When water evaporates, it carries away more heat than it actually holds due to the phase transition. The fish leaving the water is coated in water, which quickly starts evaporating once in the air (due to greater surface area) and carries away heat.
There is also the issue of oxygen. Heated water carries less oxygen as well as evaporates so even less. The fish could have a way to absorb oxygen. You don't need lungs to do this, modified gills can. Its an interesting theory.
What scientists are confused? Evaporative cooling is the entire reason animals sweat. Unless the humidity is so high the water won't evaporate, the fish has a win.
Once I was carrying firewood inside and there were two wasps cryogenically preserved, frozen and encased by ice on a piece from water that had dripped on it. When enough ice melted and the wasps thawed they started walking around sluggishly.
WATOP never ceases to teach me something new about animals and nature despite being an extreme animal enthusiast. I never thought about how the Ancient Egyptians contributed to the Medieval practice of bloodletting. I know that there were other factors that led Medieval doctors to believe bloodletting helped cure people of disease or for health benefits, such as the idea of the four humors, but the Ancient Egyptians false interpretation of hippo physiology was nothing I would've considered. Those bloody hippos!

The mangrove rivolus (or however it's spelled) most likely takes advantage of the exact same principle that sweat abuses -- the evaporation of water draws away latent heat from the fish's exterior, so as the air rushes by it does the same thing as a fan does for us, it doesn't matter if the surrounding air itself is the same temperature as the water, as long as the air is moving it will have a cooling effect. Not sure how scientists couldn't figure that out (or maybe the physics are much more complex than that, this is just my understanding)
Water takes energy from its surroundings when it evaporates. This is why we sweat and probably why the fish gets out of the river. Jump out, let the water on the body evaporate a bit, then back to the water. What scientist says they don't know how it works? Am I missing something?
As soneone that hates shower just bcs that it seems a good way to cooldown for a fish I just hate how you freeze after taking a bath It happens in summer too
“Some birds like water…ducks…penguins”. If you have ever owned a bird bath in a hot area…..you know it’s a few more than that. Staying at grandmas as a kid, her pizza sized bird bath got constant activity and would often have 2 or 3 different birds furiously taking baths, with others waiting their turn, most getting so soaked they seemed to have to struggle a bit to fly off. The water would be clean in the morning and filthy by noon. Most birds love cool, shallow water baths.
For the fish at the end of the video..i feel like its the same principal as when you get outta the pool an even tho its hot the air hitting the water on your skin feels cool if not cold.
At 1:38 that’s typical chicken behavior. I’ve helped raise chickens for roughly 20 years and you’d be amazed at what goes on in their little bird lives, borderline complicated. Anyway, unlike most birds that bathe in water, they are taking a dust bath, it helps cool them off in the summer (they will do this very frequently) and it helps get rid of the mites. You wouldn’t know they are covered in mites unless you observe the hens that are hatching eggs, where they spend a lot of time immobilized and sitting in one place. They will also lie down on the ground in the bright sun with their legs and wings spread out and sun bathe. If you plan on raising chickens it helps to water their favorite bathing spot in the morning so by noon when the sun starts blasting the dirt will be nice and cool, greatly enhancing their experience (instead of just a few hens in that spot, the whole flock will gather fighting for it)
I think the fish thing had to do with how light the air is compared to water. While different substances do retain heat differently, what is generally agreed upon is, the less mass something has, the more heat it would gain and the less it would retain. In the fish's case, it's the latter, as the air being as light as it is retains far less heat than water. Thermodynamics is weird, so correct me if I'm wrong. Also, evaporative cooling works too.
My pet chickens had a favorite shady spot to dig up and lay in. theyd use their wings to fluff it up onto their backs and in the feathers. Goofy birbs. They would move so much soil i had to fill it in for them.
I watch these tiny birds in the parking lot do this everyday. It's looks funny as hell seeing a bunch of tiny birds having dust seizures in a parking lot.
Also bloodletting has some medicinal applications as well, while a delicate process that can have dire consequences if misused, is used to lower risk of cancer, heart attacks, reduce iron levels in the bloodstream, as well as improve vascular heath.
Huh, I really thought the bird that crapped on its legs to beat the heat would have been #1, but WATOP beats me to the punch once more. a fish I've never heard of. And a lesson on how the ancient Egyptians killed Robin Hood to boot! Can't beat that on your average YT vid!
Most animals that survived the kt Extinction event had the capacity to burrow. Just a few dinosaur species survived it... all of them avian dinosaurs (birds) So this bird instinct is probably a surviving characteristic of those few species that survived and diversified after
The mangrove fish may push the water out of its body to cool itself off, like how we sweat and then when it is cool enough, it hops back into the water. Since if you look at the dirt it seems to stick to the fish, which seems odd, since dirt doesn't really stick onto things that aren't wet. And yes I know, fish live in water duh they must be wet however they usually have a mucus layer that protects them from having stuff stick to them which is slimy but not wet... although talking about dirt, this may just be another mud lover but I suppose if that was the case scientists would have the reason already. Those are my theories.
I think the fish jumps out of the water and the water on the fish cools it like when you leave the pool without a towel so I think it used that to cool itself
I learned recently that flies also use that little bubble to help them make more room for food in their stomachs by evaporating the moisture inside of it
For the fish I suppose is the effect of evaporation that cool off the animal! Like also plant do it trough the leafs to not burn them (along with other method like antioxidant that prevent the UV to damage them)
Ammonia is also in your urine 5:20 “You always have a certain amount of ammonia in your urine. When you have more water, the ammonia is diluted, and it smells less intense. Whereas with dehydration, the concentration of ammonia is going to be higher and the smell would be stronger,” Dr. Kaaki says.
The fish that uses air to cool off, maybe the ground or mud is cooler than the air and water? Or just a few degrees difference between water and air makes a big difference to them since they're so small? Or the water works like sweat. The water evaporates which cools down? Maybe some combination?
If it wasn't for the state change between liquid and gas, it would make literally no sense for a fish to jump out of the water to get cooler, as the air doesn't conduct heat as well as the air does. That fish would have to be constantly in jumping to make that work, at which point the extra heat generated from all that activity would likely undo the benefit.
I got 8 chickens in my back yard, half of them are bard rock, they Are about to lay eggs, I can say that to tell the difrence between a hurt bird and one that is cleaning, If the bird lifts its wing up and is pecking the ground it is takeing a bath and, pecking at the ground losens up the dirt underneath. And if a bird is hurt, It would refrain from makeing sutch drastic movements unless a threat is nearby and noteces it, So then it begins to panic. They will normaly call out if there is a flock of welcoming birds, or there flock to get them to notece them. Also you know when your wet and your outside and a nice breze comes a long? It Cools off the body And posibly with a few more factors the fish also proboly dose that as well. And mabey because its scales are more sensitive it can posibly cool off more efeciantly. Dont mind my terrible grammar.
It’s the evaporation of the water that brings the cooling effect 9:45. That’s why humans sweat. We technically don’t even feel temperature, we only feel the change temperatures as it varies. When you water the grass or even the concrete, there is a draft of air that will sweep in the surrounds from the evaporating fluid.
The fish is using evaporative cooling. Just like we do when we sweat.. get ur hand wet and blow on it.. regardless of the temp of either the water or the air it will cool u down. This works better with dry air and coincidentally enough, with salt water rather than fresh water, which is why sweat is salty and why sweating causes dehydration..ie salt loss
That fish would cool down from the evaporation of water on the skin. Here in Australia we have canvas bags that were little bit of water through and as it evaporates of the bag it keeps the bad cool and the water inside
With the last one: The fish probably cools off with the air because of evaporation. Any person who has gone in water to swim will know they get cooled by the blowing wind. Also like taking a hot shower, when exiting, your body can get a slight chill.
Chicken and other critters like to hide from the 🌞 and have found the best way to cool themselves off from it!! Otherwise they will be burned up by that sucker ❣️ Gotta love how smart all the creatures are when it comes to this ❣️ 🤓
The fish cools off by water phase shift. When the fish is out of the water, even if the air is at the same temperature or even hotter than the water, water will phase shift into a gas state by decompressing itself and like any other decompression this causes cooling.
The fish cooling effect. Water has a different temperature feeling than air. It effects your body temperature faster than air because it's like wearing four sweaters fresh out of the dryer. As with how air cools you off by blowing your body temperature away water is like a jacket. That's a reverse effect with wearing wet clothes after you have fallen into frozen lake or something. You want to take the wet clothes off or you will freeze. So with the water evaporating off the fish it's like taking off those four sweaters fresh out of the dryer. In a matter of seconds you feel alot better.
I actually had one of ac jackets when i lived in japan. The batteries dont last long though. I have lupus and MS so heat really affects me. It's harder for me to cool down than most people. In the summer I wear a cooling vest under my shirt to keep my core body temperature from getting too high.
For the fish that jumps out of the water to cool off. If you're constently surrounded by water it can't evaporate so no cooling. It jumps out flops around for a bit letting air hit its wet skin evaporating moister and cooling it off or somthing crazer. My second idea is it somehow increases the salinity in its body befor jumping out. Geting Saltyer causing it to absorb more water but its outside so the moster on its body gets sucked in leaving very little moisture on the serous of its body. The slight amount of water left evaporates rapidly when it jumps in the air causing it to rapidly cool then it can go back into the water.
"Scientists still don't know how it works" That's a shame, because I do. Evaporative cooling - the water is in an atmosphere of low enough pressure that it evaporates that that temperature...
@@MB32904 I thought the exact same thing. Its probably because the biologists weren't paying attention in physicochemistry. xD Think of going out of the water at a sunny day. Sometimes you feel cold because you're still wet. Water that evaporates is a endothermic process. Which means that to evaporate it needs to extract heat from it's surroundings. Thus by evaporating it cools things around it.
My guess on the fish cooling down is it uses a higher concentration of oxygen as a coolant and by increasing its surface area out of the water its able to gather more oxygen quicker maybe see if they possible have a structure like insects to see if they can bring oxygen into the body like this.
If the water is on your skin when it evaporates, it absorbs heat from your skin to do so. Transferring that heat to the water means there's less heat in the source, so it gets cooler. When the wind blows, it increases the rate of evaporation, which increases the rate at which the water is absorbing heat from your body. The fish's jump at the end of the video probably simulates wind for this effect.
Someone: So what did you do on your Sunday? Me: I watched a video of cicadas pissing on each other Someone: OK .... set the tequila bottle down and slowly back away
The last one, the fish, pretty sure it's evaporative cooling and I'm sure many biologists and scientists know this. Wet fish gets on land water takes energy and heat away as it evaporates and it goes back into the water. It's exactly the same as humans sweating, or using water mist to cool down.
My theory on the fish,about why the air cools it off is because the is wet. As the fish launches itself out the water, the air cools it down as it passes through.
I may sound stupid for this but hey, maybe its the beeze that cools the fish off. Yknow like when ya sweat and theres that nice gust of wind that help cool ya off a lil bit? Could it be like that perhaps?
*About the fish jumping out of the water to cool itself doesn't it work the same way it does for us when we step out of the shower how air feels so much cooler until we dry ourselves off?*
The fish cooling off by moving out of the water is trivial. The answer is - evaporation. Basically as water evaporates it takes away the heat with it. Fish exitin water has water droplets on it. In air the fish starts to dry up - aka droplets evaporate. And the fish loses heat in the process. If you want to experience - just remember what you feel when you exit a pool and not dry yourself with a towel.
The small fish that jumps out of the water uses evaporation to cool itself - the same reason sweat cools other animals. The cooling is short-lived because the fish has to get back in the hot water before repeating the process.
Assuming that it isn't constantly jumping into a sunny place, the fish could just be letting the heat escape through the air particles it's whooshing through and then on to the dirt particles also because air is less dense than water if the water is so warm all of it is that warm and there's literally no escape but the fish can let the heat inside of its liquid dissipate through the air and then hop back into the warm water. And if the water was colder like a different source of water that would be a shock hazard for the fish because it would get too cold too quickly. And since the fish can't hope for magically cooler water near its warm water the next best thing would be leaping through the air letting heat get ripped out of it from the air particles it's rushing through and then landing on dirt which is really good at absorbing and transferring heat especially if it's moist dirt which it would be if the fish landed on it. I feel like this is the same type of logic the fly is using. The liquid inside of it is too warm and surrounded by liquid that is also too warm so it spits out some of the liquid which then swirls around at the end of its mouth exposed to the air the heat goes out into the air and then once the liquid is cooler than its internal body temperature it puts it back to absorb more heat from the body. And then it's just rinse into repeat until desired temperature
9:50 maybe, jumping off the water brings some water stiched to the skin, which evaporates by moving through the air and cools the fish down due to that very evaporation.

Kinda makes sense
The reason behind the fish coming out of the water is that it uses evaporative cooling. The same principle that is used in air coolers.
& also, "flying" or jumping through the air creates a little "wind", which helps in cooling.
basically "sweating"
That’s what I thought maybe we should experiment 🧪 and find out mate!

Chicken and other critters like to hide from the 🌞 and have found the best way to cool themselves off from it!! Otherwise they will be burned up by that sucker ❣️ Gotta love how smart all the creatures are when it comes to this ❣️ 🤓
I love these informative utubes!
Animals Rule!!!!
"humans arnt as intresting as animals"

The fish cools off by water phase shift. When the fish is out of the water, even if the air is at the same temperature or even hotter than the water, water will phase shift into a gas state by decompressing itself and like any other decompression this causes cooling.

This reminds me of Ed, Edd and Eddy. Dig a hole dig a hole.
That last one . The Fish that Leaves the water . It lands on the Bank wet . That water evaporates and cools the Fish . Rinse and repeat .😂.
Great information Thankyou 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

The fish cooling effect. Water has a different temperature feeling than air. It effects your body temperature faster than air because it's like wearing four sweaters fresh out of the dryer. As with how air cools you off by blowing your body temperature away water is like a jacket. That's a reverse effect with wearing wet clothes after you have fallen into frozen lake or something. You want to take the wet clothes off or you will freeze. So with the water evaporating off the fish it's like taking off those four sweaters fresh out of the dryer. In a matter of seconds you feel alot better.
I actually had one of ac jackets when i lived in japan. The batteries dont last long though. I have lupus and MS so heat really affects me. It's harder for me to cool down than most people. In the summer I wear a cooling vest under my shirt to keep my core body temperature from getting too high.
4:57 Vultures do this too, you know.
For the fish that jumps out of the water to cool off. If you're constently surrounded by water it can't evaporate so no cooling. It jumps out flops around for a bit letting air hit its wet skin evaporating moister and cooling it off or somthing crazer. My second idea is it somehow increases the salinity in its body befor jumping out. Geting Saltyer causing it to absorb more water but its outside so the moster on its body gets sucked in leaving very little moisture on the serous of its body. The slight amount of water left evaporates rapidly when it jumps in the air causing it to rapidly cool then it can go back into the water.
"Scientists still don't know how it works"
That's a shame, because I do. Evaporative cooling - the water is in an atmosphere of low enough pressure that it evaporates that that temperature...
@@farhan5647 he knows more than the scientists watop speaks to
@@MB32904 I believe Farhan asked that because of OPs name
@@ImMichelle93 monkie boi failed that charisma save
@@MB32904 I thought the exact same thing. Its probably because the biologists weren't paying attention in physicochemistry. xD
Think of going out of the water at a sunny day. Sometimes you feel cold because you're still wet. Water that evaporates is a endothermic process. Which means that to evaporate it needs to extract heat from it's surroundings. Thus by evaporating it cools things around it.
maybe the little fish is using the mud bath method xD
My guess on the fish cooling down is it uses a higher concentration of oxygen as a coolant and by increasing its surface area out of the water its able to gather more oxygen quicker maybe see if they possible have a structure like insects to see if they can bring oxygen into the body like this.
If the water is on your skin when it evaporates, it absorbs heat from your skin to do so. Transferring that heat to the water means there's less heat in the source, so it gets cooler. When the wind blows, it increases the rate of evaporation, which increases the rate at which the water is absorbing heat from your body. The fish's jump at the end of the video probably simulates wind for this effect.
Someone: So what did you do on your Sunday?
Me: I watched a video of cicadas pissing on each other
Someone: OK .... set the tequila bottle down and slowly back away
The last one, the fish, pretty sure it's evaporative cooling and I'm sure many biologists and scientists know this. Wet fish gets on land water takes energy and heat away as it evaporates and it goes back into the water. It's exactly the same as humans sweating, or using water mist to cool down.
They also kick dirt up on themselves to protect themselves from parasites.
My theory on the fish,about why the air cools it off is because the is wet. As the fish launches itself out the water, the air cools it down as it passes through.
Thank you for the awesome video 😁
My chickens often look like they have been hit with a shovel and left half baired. Funny little ciders
The fish jumping out of water cools off because it's jumping through air and moving faster than moving air is cooler than stagnant air
Camels cool off by exposing their stomachs by throwing them up.
It's not surprising...Chinchillas clean themselves through taking dust baths too, so why not other critters?
I may sound stupid for this but hey, maybe its the beeze that cools the fish off. Yknow like when ya sweat and theres that nice gust of wind that help cool ya off a lil bit? Could it be like that perhaps?
Thanks.
it works for the fish because the process of evaporation creates a cooling effect. if you doubt this put on a wet shirt and see how cool you get
Maybe when the fish jumps out, the water that's already on him evaporates therefore cooling him down. Just a Theory
*About the fish jumping out of the water to cool itself doesn't it work the same way it does for us when we step out of the shower how air feels so much cooler until we dry ourselves off?*
The fish cooling off by moving out of the water is trivial. The answer is - evaporation.
Basically as water evaporates it takes away the heat with it. Fish exitin water has water droplets on it. In air the fish starts to dry up - aka droplets evaporate. And the fish loses heat in the process.
If you want to experience - just remember what you feel when you exit a pool and not dry yourself with a towel.
My pet quail loves taking baths in the sand , she takes them for 1 hour a day
The small fish that jumps out of the water uses evaporation to cool itself - the same reason sweat cools other animals. The cooling is short-lived because the fish has to get back in the hot water before repeating the process.
Air cooled fish? That's like a submarine zepplin.
Assuming that it isn't constantly jumping into a sunny place, the fish could just be letting the heat escape through the air particles it's whooshing through and then on to the dirt particles also because air is less dense than water if the water is so warm all of it is that warm and there's literally no escape but the fish can let the heat inside of its liquid dissipate through the air and then hop back into the warm water. And if the water was colder like a different source of water that would be a shock hazard for the fish because it would get too cold too quickly. And since the fish can't hope for magically cooler water near its warm water the next best thing would be leaping through the air letting heat get ripped out of it from the air particles it's rushing through and then landing on dirt which is really good at absorbing and transferring heat especially if it's moist dirt which it would be if the fish landed on it. I feel like this is the same type of logic the fly is using. The liquid inside of it is too warm and surrounded by liquid that is also too warm so it spits out some of the liquid which then swirls around at the end of its mouth exposed to the air the heat goes out into the air and then once the liquid is cooler than its internal body temperature it puts it back to absorb more heat from the body. And then it's just rinse into repeat until desired temperature
dust bath is birds having dry shampoo 😂
9:50 maybe, jumping off the water brings some water stiched to the skin, which evaporates by moving through the air and cools the fish down due to that very evaporation.
Being wet, the fish experiences evaporaive cooling.
i immediately pause and click off all these videos to avoid the slurping in the intro
