As reported in the previous studies, the maximum pecking velocity is about 6-7 m/s, and the maximum deceleration of woodpecker head is about 1000g (g is the gravitational acceleration) That is about 10- 12 times more than a human can stand.
@@joseestrada1011 Yeah...the story is embellished...but I am glad my head isn't designed or built like theirs for the same purpose lol. I remember how my arm used to get pins and needles after shopping wood for a long time, lol.
A woodpecker can experience forces of up to 1,200 to 1,400 g's when pecking on a tree, which is significantly more than the force needed to cause a concussion in humans, which is typically considered to be much lower (around 100 g's).
Probably runs in the family seeing as the whole short was talking about the tongue wrapping around the skull and not the brain, your kid probably got their weird brain from you and you don't even realize it which is understandable seeing as you both got that in common lol
Evolution's a scary thing Peppers like Jalapenos evolved a toxic chemical specifically to stop mammals from eating it, but birds are immune to. Because birds spread seeds better than mammals do. That toxic chemical is capcaisn. The chemical which triggers the "spicy" response. Caffeine is also a chemical coffee developed specifically to kill bugs, but to us humans it triggers that awakened and stimulated feeling we enjoy. Nature is weird, and I love it.
@@matthewstoltzfus6688 I went DonBosco Tech. In San Gabriel south Calif. Any there was a Spanish teacher there who had that last name Stoltz, He was a Herpatologist and He loved the class his latest adventures, while during summer vaca, he went to the ancient sires of megalithic Mayan and Aztec sites. He loved his snakes and loved showing off to the class. He a strict disciplinarian as a teacher, only gave good who really studied. In other words, no students liked him that because he pushed us to grow! I liked him, nonetheless he was a good person I could tell. Sorry! For story, any relation?? Not common name
We had woodpecker outside out house earlier this year, around a month or so ago. We were doing yardwork on the backyard and I came to the front to grab something and kept hearing a pecking noise, looked up and saw a woodpecker in the neighbors tree going to town. Never seen one irl before that
When i was a kid we always spent a lot of time in the kitchen,watching the news on a small tv and a wood pecker would get on the outside antena and the tv went crazy!!! Man that drove my dad ABSOLUTELY OUT OF HIS MIND , I HAVE ALWAYS LIKED WOOD PECKERS TRUE STORY!!!
I wonder how this bird evolved. Bird one day is like “hhmmmm. I got a big mouth. It’s sharp too. I wonder if this dead tree has any yums. AHHHHHHHHH!!”
How does the tongue act as a shock absorber to the brain, if it wraps around the back of the skull and not between the skull and brain? Plus wouldn’t it need to absorb the shock from the brain hitting the front of the skull?
You are asking a great question. I had the same thing... Looks like you're maybe 50 IQ points above the replies tho. The critical thinking capacity is rather lacking... I would assume the wrap around has nothing to do with damping the impact and all to do with the spatial puzzle of storing a long tongue... It has to go somewhere.
Ah yes because they functioned and hunted the same exact way with absolutely no changes in their habits until they could finally withstand it. Every argument with a creationist is just them not considering nuances of life. BRO THINK
If it didn’t have this, it would be dead. Dead birds can’t have babies. The ones who lived have this. See, evolution is a simple concept for fucks sake
I know right, like how the big G created the Plasmodium, the tiny creature that hitches a ride on a mosquito and then gets into a human and causes malaria. It's amazing god chose to make that, especially as he knew it would lead to around 500,000 children a year not making it to their 6th birthday. Absolutely amazing
There is no way you even read the definition of evolution honestly before.. this type of thinking is what made me lose my faith: the overwhelmingly unnecessary stupidity of people who wish to protect a hyper specific version of god that over simplifies everything, effectively making god humanlike. Just sad

I had a huge willow tree that provided beautiful dappled morning shade. The first notes of alarm was a woodpecker moving in, pretty soon the bugs had killed the entire tree.
Don’t watch this with earbuds. I can almost feel that tongue licking m the inside of my ear 😂😂😂😂

Correction; they can take **1,400** g force, not 4,000. Anything above 1500 gets turned into dust
Its a ai video just report it

Russian crap.
First it's a helmet.
Then it's a shock absorber.

True to their name, woodpeckers hammer away at wood with their beaks. And when they do, they can experience forces of 1,200 to 1,400 g's

"Tongue 3 times as long as its beak." Now I know why my gf left me for a woodpecker.
A woodpecker on a metal roof sharpening its beak sounds like a machine gun. I woke up to that one morning.
Oh man you must’ve been so annoyed 🤣🤣🤣
I had one that liked to use my bathroom vent. Lots.
Metal af
Yeah it took a few times for me to realize that it is a woodpecker. Cool birds.
to a machine gun or a wood pecker?
I almost scrolled. But I thought “what if I die and never know about the wood pecker”

G is not a measure of "force" but acceleration
Theres no way that bird doesnt have CTE. They only live around 10 years.
Gman here.
@@bgdgdgdf4488 it’s actually more of an effect of how much gravity your body is “withholding”
4000 g's? I call BS.
It's 1000 to 1500g. It's hitting the tree at 13mph apparently.

DANG THAT TONGUE ACTION IS CRAZY
Let’s not forget that they close their eyes every time their beak impacts the tree and open them back up after.
Next time someone calls you a bird brain, take it as a compliment.
How does it protect its brain, when the tongue wraps around the outside of its skull
My brain started twitching with the thought of my tongue somehow wrapping around the back of my skull
How did they work that out or evolve.
Evolution's a scary thing

There's a woodpecker somewhere near my house. I can hear the little bastard every morning pecking away.
The only bird in entire world that has a shock absorber for its brain.!!! LOL!
my husband has a tongue but no brain.
If it's tongue is wrapped around at skull, how does it swallow?

I never would have guessed that a woodpeckers head is protected from shock of impact by his tongue wrapping around his brain 🤷♂️
I lived in Chicago and had 4 oak trees I was amazed at the sound of the woodpeckers just amazing beautiful lovely creatures I love them❤❤❤❤❤
I thought the cartoon speed was just cartoon. Then I saw a woodpecker going to town on my neighbor's house like 'Woody' 😮

This is why i ask myself 'Why are birds?'.
Mother Nature at its finest
I haven’t seen or heard a woodpecker in years and I miss those times when it was calm just hearing them out the window 😢😢😢
Wow it seems like every living creature has it's own superpower. 😮💫
whats the Panda bears super power?
@jfeeezy8418 kung-fu of course 😌
Ok, nah, I know that exact clip with the skull, and it’s for a hummingbird.
All female woodpeckers are happy birdies 😅

@ I think YT recommended birds of culture for us 😂
Woodpeckers are so darn cute. I wish theres one in my area.
This is the tech that the NFL needs
Give me a quick example. Lol.
If woodpeckers and beavers worked together......
Someone believes this is a work of Evolution😂
Cholorquine and malaria generations over time.

How long does a woodpecker lives????
Im just gonna file this under "things i did not want to know, but now i do"
Marvelous design!
Ah of course wood peckers tounges wrap around the back of their skulls
How does the tongue act as a shock absorber to the brain, if it wraps around the back of the skull and not between the skull and brain? Plus wouldn’t it need to absorb the shock from the brain hitting the front of the skull?
Same way a helmet stops brain injuries from outside the skull. The cushion reduces the external force.
The tongue basically acts like a spring to release pressure
Maybe the tongue preemptively forces the head back before the impact to counteract the whiplash
Its designer and our Creator is just brilliant like that. Astounding isn’t it?! 💯🔥🔥
You are asking a great question. I had the same thing...

Bird knows whats on his mind literally
WOW, i learnert somtin today... Thanks
I was also thinking it was strange to be 4000g's, but 1200?! It's still nuts.
And it developed slowly over time? And they were dying for millions of years unit it finally worked xD
lol 😂
Yes they started out at the same speed without anything to stop death. Definitely didnt get better over time.
This is sarcasm by the way
Ah yes because they functioned and hunted the same exact way with absolutely no changes in their habits until they could finally withstand it. Every argument with a creationist is just them not considering nuances of life. BRO THINK
@gumball1216 hahaha... no they developed this feature just in case xD way before started using it xD

It can wrap its tongue around its brain even Gene Simmons would be impressed by that
Proof of intelligent design!
You mean evolution.
Ill forever be confused by people who dont understand basic logic to the point they end up at the opposite end of things
No
Nope. This is what evolution does.. our organs evolve and adapt.. an intelligent design wouldn't have useless organs for many species.
If it didn’t have this, it would be dead. Dead birds can’t have babies. The ones who lived have this. See, evolution is a simple concept for fucks sake

I knew Woody before he got big. Huge talent, the laugh would get on your nerves tho
Ah yes 4000 g-force
That bird is gonna vaporize

Its like how are animals made like this, and how do they know their purpose in life. Its baffles me.
And this mechanism is made by itself right?

Sooo he licks his own head.....yet that's enough internet for today.
Nah when that bird licked the camera it made some freaky ahh noise in my left ear bro☠️
It can take 4000g and humans can only take 4-6g😂
Maximum for woodpecker is 1000-1400g, not 4000g.

It also has highest cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain than any other animal
woody woodpecker built different🗿🙏
Woodpecker freaky asf
The tongue going around the back of the head is just so the tongue can be really long, it provides no shock absorption to the skull
It can litterally taste its thoughts
That tongue work is making me act up
Last week I accelerated on my bike at 1200 g force and reached orbit within 4.2 seconds
Guys like that look out for kids because they were a kid once and know what it’s like.
Hummingbirds are getting freaky now
The biggest factor protecting the bird is that it’s small
I saw that on a nature show earlier this week. Did not know that til then
4000 g that's like goku's normal training standard 😂
