    Hey everybody! It has come to our attention that there are a few discrepancies within this episode worth acknowledging:
    First, yes, you are correct. Jaguars don’t hunt gorillas and their natural habitats are on different continents. We decided to generalize our discussion to all rainforest biomes in the Thought Bubble, but that breaks reality. So sorry for the confusion!
    Also, in this episode we’d like to emphasize that we’re only discussing terrestrial global biomes and their productivity - some of the patterns we draw here are not the same for aquatic biomes.
    And lastly, yes, that fish tank we illustrated is too small. Please check back regularly for our goldfish’s grand escape! -brandon

    I really enjoy how this course makes the information fun, accessible, and still feels like it's teaching me something new and important each time.

    Great explanation! I just wanted to add that this size fish tank is only appropriate as a thought experiment, but not for keeping fish in real life! Please if you want fish as pets keep them in a big enough aquarium with other fish, plants and enough space to swim around :) thank you

    crash course is so amazing tbh. the footages are always so diverse and show a lot of representation, and they also never fail to mention indigenous people's rights in according topics like in this one and the linguistics series. so grateful for crash course's works! ❤

    As a 28 year old adult, I find these videos both endlessly fascinating and incredibly resourceful....and to think I knew all this stuff when I was a kid...

    A) awesome shirt
    B) awesome video
    C) jaguars hunt gorillas? I thought jaguars were exclusive to the Americas and gorillas to Africa

    I always knew about how critical a balanced ecosystem is but what your comparison of shifting cultivation with mass cultivations was so interesting. We are essentially sucking the nutrients dry from our most precious resources

    Man, I was taught that Slash-and-Burn agriculture was a lot less sustainable and thought out. Though, that might be because land rotation was left out in my instruction on the matter.

    These are so good. If only Crash Course makes courses on biochemistry and microbiology.

    It was truly delightful to learn about nutrient cycles, biomes, and the geobiosphere-especially that the quantity of nutrients is capped but can be sustained by clever farming and land use.

    How did the jaguar get to Africa so quickly - or was the gorilla already waiting for it in South America? ;) Seriously, great video, as always! :)

    1- what is an ecosystem?
    Answer: A community of living organisms in an area interacting with their environment.

    Putting the onus of enviromental protection on people instead of corporations and States (as in "you have to find out where your meal is produced before eating it) is unfair and makes no sense regarding the actual means of each part to do harm and change.

    • @VashdaCrash
      @VashdaCrash 3 года назад +1

      Yeah, but I guess this show is targeted towards regular people and not corporations and states, so there's that. I thought that last part about losing the tear-drinking moths was unnecessary for the video.

    A jaguar (panthera onca) eating a gorilla is a strange example... as Jaguars lives in the American continent and gorillas on Africa... maybe a leopard (panthera pardo)🐆 would hunt a gorilla? ;)

    7:12 - I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed that a jaguar/gorillas will never encounter each other in their natural environments. Crash Course is an excellent source of education but here...c'mon guys - I know you can do better

    • @FairMiles
      @FairMiles 3 года назад +2

      WAS. Only sustainable at small spatial and long temporal scales, with human populations capped by local productivity and without exporting the nutrients (so they return one way or the other to that same complex landscape)

    Jaguars eating gorillas?
    Did you transport a poor innocent gorilla to the amazon? Or did you confuse jaguars with leopards, the other big cat with spots that lives in Africa and Asia?
    Or maybe it's an abstract rainforest, with animals from everywhere?
