If my teachers in high school would’ve been half as good at explaining things in an interesting way, as Clint does, I would’ve been a straight A student. I love this channel!! And science!!!!!
"when humans start thinking about reproduction, they often cut off your reproductive structures to hand to a potential mate" Now I know why the whole flowers-for-a-date thing always seemed a little sus...
Interestingly, algae, moss, liverworts & ferns have alternating generations where both the diploid & haploid generations are free living plants that exchange gametes with eachother. In cycads, the pollen releases a free swimming sperm that fertilizes an egg & in other plants the pollen generally grows a tube to fertilize an egg. So, you could argue, even though pollen performs the same function as sperm, it is actually a miniature haploid generation plant :)
I'm so glad you're getting your teaching abilities out there so that more people can take advantage of it. Can you have your production team send out samples of your classes to be sold to school districts? I'd like to see you get out to students even more. Your style could help students learn in spite of themselves! Even if they only caught a little of your "lesson," that could be just what's needed between a passing and failing grade.
I also personally like the plants that just rely on the fact squirrels are kind of stupid and forget a lot of their nuts, inadvertently planting them. Making dumb squirrels an ecosystem engineer helping to spread trees purely through forgetfulness.
Still respect the carnivorous plants that grow flowers very far away from the eating bits. As if they're going "please don't connect me to the sudden disappearance of your sisters"
I live in NC where every spring holly trees buzz like transformers because they bribe so many insects to carry their pollen. Sadly pine and oak trees rely on the wind and I am allergic to tree sperm. Some years, the dust in the wind is yellow and leads to many sneezes.
Love the energy, maybe you could equalize the audio between the excited parts and the quiet parts a bit more in the future. Great video topic, I really liked it overall.

That speech to the squirrel......so dramatic.....very promising for Clints' future career. Thanks again.
Why does wet and windy sound like an adult site for plants lmao
I learned that Clint can make me feel emotional about a mother tree wanting their children to grow healthy
Seeds are amazing, sugar is amazing, flowers are amazing, this video is amazing!

I've thought this for years.
Clint's got some good voiceover skills, the dialog between the tree and the squirrel was so dramatic lol
Yeah, I actually got a little teary-eyed. He made it sound so sad.
It just dawned on me that on a biology channel the car you picked to illustrate what happens when you leave one under a tree is of course a beetle!
Flowers could also be called Beender. It's like Tinder, but with bees.
The acting skills are impressive.
Your tie makes me smile! 🦕🦖

The conversation between the mother tree asking the squirrel to help touched me !

I love this. I'd be recommending this to my mom who teaches Science in elementary school as it's very simple yet effective. Thanks Clint.

TIL that Clint makes an amazing mother tree.
As always, thanks Clint. I may have learned the information earlier in my life but I do know it wasn't presented as well nor was it as fun to learn.
great topic clint. much appreciated. Would like to hear more about phylogenetic analyses. Thank you very much.

I didn’t learn much (I am burdened with knowledge it seems) but left a like anyway, love this content keep them coming
Thank you so much for this Clint it's definitely helped me understand these topics better I've been enjoying this channel keep it up
How do you choose random topics every week ?

Clint's transactional fairy tales.
(what about lateral nutrient transfer via mycorrhizal interactions?)

i'm like a pine. i just flick my seeds into the wind and hope it finds a lady.
Gonna start calling people pinecones 😅
Omg isnt clint the best at explaining?!
