    Fun animal fact: A Flamingo's head has to be upside down when it eats, they are known for standing in shallow water on one leg, but most people are unaware that due to the way in which they have developed a Flamingo has to use the bristles at the top of its beak to filter out the mud and water that gets sucked in along with its actual food. It therefore has to eat with its heat upside down as otherwise it would be unable to filter its food properly.

    Learning the relation between hippos and whales is a logical rollercoaster.
    First you think, duh, of course the closest relative to a fully aquatic mammal is a semiaquatic one.
    But then you learn hippos don't and can't swim.
    Which then gets counteracted by the bone density of both animals (minus the legs) and it all makes sense again.

      This is one of the why the evolutionary history between cetaceans and hippos are one of my favorites to learn about lol. Hippos not being able to technically swim but still having scarily good water mobility is something I don’t think I’ll ever be able to get over lmao

      Because humans can't seem to comprehend distance, I remember when I was kid there was a book that tried to explain that a blue whale was bigger than 30 elephants with a picture of a train of elephants on a whale's back. Knowing that elephants can go out to sea, your comment just made me think of an elephant riding a whale 😂

    i learned about mammalian diving reflex in therapy - my therapist taught me to put an ice pack across my forehead/eyes/cheekbones and put my head between my knees to basically pull the plug on building anxiety attacks. because it forces your heart rate and breathing to slow and concentrates blood flow to your brain, it takes away the main physical sensations associated with panic and forces you to think clearly and unemotionally for about thirty seconds. its a good survival mechanism if you fall into ice cold water and you have about thirty seconds to get yourself out before you drown or die of shock. but it also gives you a window of clear thinking time to remove whatever triggered the panic attack and form a de-escalation plan to talk yourself down. best thing i ever learned in therapy.

He offed to take us out on lake Tanganyika in a small boat. At one point he took us over to see the hippos near the shore. We were a bit farther out in the lake. After sitting for a few minutes we heard a splash. The guy immediately jumped over to the outboard and desperately started trying to start the engine. Finally after about 10 seconds it stared.

    Story from New Zealand.
    One of my great uncles was catching a lift in a fishing boat to Stewart island from Bluff, in the South island.
    About halfway across, they saw something in the water ahead. Get closer, and they found Red deer, a stag and hinds, past halfway and going strong.
    Easy dinner. (For those who would complain about this, deer are an introduced species and quite destructive to the native ecology)

    Mammalian Diving Reflex factoid: In 1984 Chicago, a small-statured 10 yr old boy (Jimmy Tontlewicz) fell thru Lake Michigan ice in January. He was in water under the ice a little over twenty minutes and his body temp had fallen to about 80°F. The CFD Water Rescue Team managed to locate and pull his body from the water... the kid spent something like ten days in the ICU, and then went thru almost a year of rehab, but ultimately he managed to make a full recovery. It was huge news back then. He only survived because of our mammalian dive reflex.

Consider massive cargo ships and/or aircraft carriers and their incredibly large/heavy steel structures whereupon floating doesn't seem the least bit feasible. So long as you've got buoyancy and can produce any sort of paddling motion, swimming/propelling shouldn't be much of an issue at all.

      Hippos are probably only more buoyant in saltwater due to the fact that saltwater is naturally more dense than freshwater. The denser water is, the easier it is for animals and objects to float in it. You will have a much easier time floating in the ocean compared to the lake.

The biggest obstacle is actually getting airborne again: bats can't stand upright the way humans do (their feet are facing "backwards" compared to ours) and thus can't take off from the ground, so they have to climb up a certain distance to be able to be able to have enough height to get back into the air.

      During the early 20th century, there was a meat shortage and economic crisis that Congress considered solving with hippopotamus ranching. They expected the hippos would not only provide a new source of meat, but also gobble up invasive water hyacinths clogging major waterways.
      I’m fairly sure they’d escape and establish a healthy breeding population, and be pretty hard to get rid of, especially with the firearms at the time. Also, remember that incident with the kid being killed by an alligator at Disney World? I’m certain that had hippos come to America, Disney would have multiple instances of children getting just eaten by a hippo. Plus, imagine the property damage they could cause.

You are someone incredibly brilliant AND FUN to watch and listen to. My hubby has even gotten into watching your videos! We both love watching your videos - and, when I get down, which is a problem I've had since I was a child (unfortunately), watching your videos makes me happy!
    THANK YOU, SINCERELY AND FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART! 🙏💖😊

    This is one of your best long form videos! I learned so much and there was a cohesive theme throughout the entire video, with an excellent ending. The visuals were on point. I am 37 and I love the natural world and I was still learning so much and slack jawed at some of those pictures. The hippo muscles?!? Rip. Your work is getting better and better.

    2:09 OMG bro… thank you for explaining why I used to get the “shock” from cold showers in the winter. I used to find the cold water would instantly make me feel like I couldn’t breathe and pretty much forced me to take a huge breath and hold it in. The water was so cold that I couldn’t regulate my breathing. Man those were rough days. And no I wasn’t doing it for fun, all we had back then was an extension chord running from someone else’s apartment to power our fridge and microwave. Never taking another cold shower in my life if I can avoid it.

    I believe Manatees and Dugongs also have relatively dense bones, as did the semi-aquatic ancestors of whales.
    Having more dense bones to achieve more neutral buoyancy is a pretty common adaptation for terrestrial animals that have evolved into an aquatic or semi-aquatic niche. It makes it easier to stay at whatever depth they want in the water without having to spend energy to stay there.

    The diving reflex reminds me of when I scared my dad half to death by falling in the pool when I was around 2 years old. I just disappeared in the second everyone had their backs to me and he ran over to the pool to just find me staring up at him from under the water holding my breath and I was totally fine.

      Well, if you want to take distant relatives into account, then it makes sense why elephants would be able to swim. While hippos are close relatives of whales, elephants are close relatives of sirenians, a clade that includes dugongs and manatees. Both of them are perfectly adapted to life underwater, but being herbivorous, they aren’t very fast. Besides, the fossil record indicates that the trunk did evolve like a snorkel in probosocideans, only being used for different purposes later on.

    Like last week or something me and my dad were fishing and it was pretty dark and when my dad casted his line it plopped into the lake but then started to reel in really fast. I told my dad to slow down and not scare the fish and he said that he wasnt even reeling in his line. We got closer to the mysterious thing bobbing towards land and it crawled out on land while looking like an alien it was really dark so we shined the light at it for closer inspection and it was a bat. SO yes bats can swim pretty fast.
