Okay, as a fellow biology major I knew a lot of shit about the Aye Aye but I did not realize how far they stuck their fingers down their nose. They've really been out here giving themselves Covid tests for fun.
Meeting a Aye Aye is on my bucket list. I wasn't allowed printer privilege at home as a kid because I would print out pics of interesting looking animals to hang on my wall and my Mum started having nightmares featuring the weirder looking ones
My youngest son’s favorite animal was a pangolin . His kindergarten teacher had never heard of one and thought he made it up. And for the life of me I couldn’t think of spiny anteater for any reason!
I don't know how accessible this option is, but Duke University's Lemur Center has some and they have a tour season. They're not gonna let you hold them, but I think it would count as meeting some.
Not only do you share my passion for wildlife I can tell by your music choice that you have incredible taste in video games. Zelda Wind Waker, Luigis Mansion 3, Hollow Knight, and Runescape. Fantastic!
@@peggedyourdad9560 hollow knight ost is so amazing. my favourite songs are the ones in greenpath and city of tears, especially marissa's singing. the whole game is gorgeous :,))
"When this gremlin goes for groceries, it taps on trees like a Jehova's Witness going door to door" This man always impresses me with how clever he is with his scripts
This guy has me in tears of laughter. And he's a beautiful person. He says'you can send me money,but please don't if you don't have much cos i'm doing alright'. What a man. And he's way too wise for his age. Love him and his animal facts.
I'd say the Aye Aye isn't fashionably cute, but naturally adorable - while it looks bizarre and creepy, it has the typical mannerisms that many of us find soothing in a small animal. Kinda like a newborn human baby.
Why are we allowing this to happen it's because of the irresponsible politics of hate promoted by Donald Trump and other nationalist and right wing conservative organizations, that some creators in order to preserve themselves are forced to attack and harass their own fandoms in attempt at curving their own influence that starts to threaten the right wing conservative media outlets.
I'm actually offset by most monkeys they seem unpredictable and prone to violence or greed regardless of training but they do seem more caring and approachable than most. I'll still never trust any potentially threatening animal with my life or to be alone with my kids if I have them other than dog's and rat's though.
just because you don't see people screaming his wordplay skills from top of the rooftops every second doesn't mean we're sleeping on him being a poet. his 3.1 mil sub count speaks louder to his skills than any comment every could.
I "adopted" an Aye Aye named Agatha through Duke University's Lemur Center. They aren't really as ugly as the worst pictures show, those are just wild nocturnal animals likely startled by the bright light. All the pictures I got of Agatha were cute as heck, and I suspect that's because she was chill instead of scared.
The Cincinnati zoo has aye ayes, and i genuinely think they're super cute in real life. I can only guess is they're not at all photogenic, very much like most of us!
Googled "aye aye lemur cute" and I agree now; framing them in the dead of night with a football stadium spotlight type of flash certainly did them dirty.
The tarsier is named for its elongated "tarsus" or ankle bone. Although tarsiers were once more widespread, all of its species living today are found in Maritime Southeast Asia, specifically the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Brunei. The most famous of the tarsiers is the Philippine tarsier, who are popular with tourists and are sought out as pets or sold for trade, despite its low survival rate outside of their natural habitat with living just up to 12 years in captivity to 24 years in the wild. Previously all living tarsiers had been placed in the genus Tarsius, but a 2010 taxonomic revision placed Philippine tarsiers in their own genus called Carlito (named after conservationist Carlito Pizarras). Horsfield's tarsiers from Borneo and Sumatra are also in their own genus called Cephalopachus
I remember the very first time I saw the Aye-Aye on tv. It was in an episode of the Wild Thornberrys. I learned that the Malagasy people see it as a symbol of misfortune. I felt pretty sorry for the Aye-aye Eliza got to talk with. He was just very confused and sleepy (since he is nocturnal and it was during the day). Luckily she, Darwin and Donnie brought him back home
@@mrgodzillaraptors8632 This might just be me bragging, but I actually met the Wild Kratts in person once. Best day of my life. Also Casual. Geographic is just as cool as the Wild Kratts
Hilarious commentary as usual. I had a Wildlife Treasury set in the 80s and one of my favorite baseball cards was of the Aye-Aye. I took it for show-and-tell and most of my classmates didn't believe it was real.
When my boyfriend and I went to the Denver zoo, we spent the better part of an hour in the Aye-Aye exhibit. Most other visitors just raced through there since it was so dark and quiet, but getting to be still and having our eyes adjust... that animal was fascinating to watch.
Meanwhile in Pokémon Scarlet/Violet, the aye-aye served as inspiration for Grafaiai, the first Poison/Normal dual-type! It uses its poisonous saliva to draw colorful patterns on trees, not only to mark its territory but also to attract Bug-types with its sweet scent. The painted forest of the Grafaiai in the North Province of Paldea is actually a reference to a real forest in Spain's Basque Country called the Oma forest. Painted in the 80s by Basque sculptor and painter Agustín Ibarrola. It is part of the Land Art movement. He was inspired by the cave art in the nearby Santimamiñe caves, and he wanted to paint on natural structures with the same technique that cave people used to paint on natural rock formations.
Fun animal fact; The patu digua is thought to be this smallest spider in the world at just 0.37 mm. This Colombian spider is about one fifth the size of the head of a pin
I have tiny spiders in my home that are about 1 - 3 mm long. I thought they were tiny! You can hardly see them. I can imagine their food species are even smaller!
in case anyone is wondering, the aye aye at the end is named Fody, which is a little bright red sparrow-like bird found in madagascar! (it's also pronounced foo-dee if you were wondering :))
Hard to say if Dreamworks did Maurice wrong by changing a few features or saving parents from explaining why that one lemur has some long middle fingers.
In All Hail King Julien more accurate Aye-aye's appeared, and from what i remember, they didn't look that bad (they explained his design with a rare genetic mutation)
I don't remember where exactly I read it, but I remember as a kid reading somewhere that Maurice was based on a sifaka lemur (like Zaboomafoo, but a different species).
I love the "something God made on a deadline"..... line. Your videos are awesome!! You crack me up, and the content is great. I learn alot ev1ery time I see one.
I remember watching a documentary that basically made a horror story out of all the animals it talked about and the Aye-aye was in it. It made me paranoid of the lemur ever pointing that finger at me because I was too young to tell fiction from reality and was also terrified of dying lmao Edit: Apparently it was Nat Geo's Creepy Creatures movie
Your explanation of geographical reasons for evolution was one of the best I've ever heard! Simple to understand, entertaining & hilarious too! I learned a lot and marvel at your descriptions! Bravo! PS - those goats are the most terrifying demonic creatures I've ever seen!
If you want to learn more about this topic, AtlasPro has some great videos about evolution on islands (and a lot of other interesting stuff about biogeography etc.).

Random Fact: In the all Hail King Julian tv show, Maurice’s backstory is that he wasn’t ugly so he was supposed to be sacrificed. The other aye-ayes look more accurate to their real appearance.
I just love how you laid down that Aye-aye description just like Animal Planet's MOST EXTREME did, while still giving it your own twist. Man, I loved that show.
@@tlst94 well, it's literally translated to "Fist of the King of the Worlds." Ken being "Fist" and Kaio being "King", kind of like Hokuto No Ken or "Fist of the North Star". Kai's name is in it because it's his technique lmao.
The most unique writing.... hands down....every sentence is so creative yet sounds so natural...all the while maintaining to the cold witty Humour... Love ur videos
Aww I actually think the snub nose monkey is adorable and looks like it's done with everyone's else's bull crap. It looks a little grumpy and I love it. ❤️
"Much like the pug, the Aye-Aye walks a delicate tightrope between being radically ugly and cute as hell." - Ze Frank. I mean, the reason we get creepy pictures of them is because we're disturbing them while they're out in the wild at night by shining bright lights right at them! NO nocturnal creature likes it when you shine a light at them! Aye-ayes who are actually CALM and USED to humans can be adorable! My favorite fact about Aye-Aye's is that less than a thousand years ago, the Giant Aye-Aye (Daubentonia robusta) was around. So now if the people are afraid of this Gremlin, imagine how terrified they would have been of seeing one that's TWO TIMES bigger!
There is NO BETTER animal breakdown channel than this dude right here, not even close🔥. My 8-year-old son now gets all his animal education from this dude. A little bit of a mistake because at least 3 times A-day, every day my son will go, Hey dad, "did you know such and such and that's because of this and that. I really appreciate this channel 🔥👍👏🏼
The Tarsir is also the world's smallest carnivorous mammal. It only eats bugs. It also squeaks loudly when it sees a snake, alerting all other Tarsirs, which join in the cacophony of squeaking till the snake leaves. It's adorable.
"The aye aye is built like an identity crisis..... hands that would have gotten it burned at the stake in Salem"! You ripped me right out of a bad mood in less than 5 minutes! Love all your videos!
I loved that last line. "If you look like something GOD made on a deadline." I had to clean my monitor because of the spit take I did all over it. Always stay classy Casual.
I am so happy to have found you on RUclips! You are, hands down, my number one favorite people on the internet. I can't wait to see each and every video you publish and it literally makes my day. I live on disability and have a low fixed income lifestyle (no pity here!) but if I had the money, I would not only be *on* your Patreon page, I would be the *only patron you need* to keep yourself in a comfortable lifestyle. Thank you for everything you do.
@@The-Seal-Of-Approval even if I watched the commercials, which I don't (I buy the free RUclips package) my op would still be true. But I believe that you are kindly missing my point. Someone who is fully sponsored *doesn't have to rely on commercials.* He could buy whatever audio/visual equipment he wants in order to use to do his work. With the right equipment and a studio to broadcast from, he could release videos at his own pace and endorse only the goods that he himself uses and, (just so he can continue to make those clever segues for his sponsors) He could be his own man, answer to no one. Heck, he could open his own internet channel and be able to post his content in the clear so his followers could watch him make casual endorsements every now and then on his own server. This man, whose name I sadly can't pronounce (which it seems he's used to!) is exceptionally clever, intelligent and remarkably well-informed *and* well-read from his academic years and he just keeps absorbing more data as an internet authority. Okay, so I went a little crazy with this daydream, but an influencer like this, who doesn't post crazy challenges or spread gossip and news is worth it! That is, he would be if I suddenly found myself flush with cash...
Love your channel! I appreciate how you do your research before bringing this information to us. Not only educational but also entertaining. You're such an amazing, intelligent, handsome young man. I wish you the best. Keep these awesome videos coming!
1:33 Matter of fact, the first time scientists saw it they legitimately thought that it was a squirrel that nature tried redrawing strictly for memory💀💀
If I recall correctly, Michael from Vsauce once noted that the way to get people to learn things is to teach them before they realize they're learning. I feel like you do a similar thing with the science tidbits. If you just told someone that hippos can't really swim because they're all muscle, that's not going to stick with anyone, but that they're so tanky they don't *need* to swim and just adapted to walk underwater? I wouldn't be able to forget that even if I wanted to.
The booger picking and eating is logical. It chews through rotten trees. Rotten trees are hella dusty. And this thing's nose is pressed against said tree, while chomping on the dusty bark, and it still needs to breathe. So its getting its sinuses packed with particles. So it uses its finger as a pipe-cleaner. And animals don't have sinks, and can't afford to let a booger crust up on a grabby thing. So, they clean it like all animals clean stuff.
I remember in fourth grade when we had to do projects on animals. I did the Komodo dragon, because I have always been like that. A buddy of mine did Aye-Ayes, and told us all about what he found. His several months of research is what taught me all I know about them.
9:50 -- That properly pressurized blob fish in it's natural environment is actually sorta cute. You'd never guess it turns into 9:42 & 10:14 in the wrong setting.
I've finally watched the entire series, start to finish. It was nice seeing your progression, pal. I think I've learned more about animals from you than school ever taught me. Looking forward to the next one
3:36 *_"So when this gremlin goes for groceries, it taps on trees like a Jehovah's Witness going door to door."_* As one myself, I couldn't take that one seriously. That had me on the ground lmao 😭🤣🤣 _Marvelous Wordplay as always👍🏾🔥💯_
I know the music says where it came from in the description, but brother. There are tons of songs from those games. Can you list the name of the track? It's like saying find an address and just giving a state. Then saying "there you go." Found the intro song ruclips.net/video/YlJU-SScRHk/видео.html
Props to this man for watching over one-thousand hours of National Geographic, scrolling through the internet for 2000, and reading biology for another 1000.
Thank you for always making such amazing animal content! So far I've yet to find any other youtuber who does content like this, and even if they did it could never compete with yours! As a nature lover I have watched any animal documentary I an get my lil paws on...meaning theres no new ones for me. This is like getting to see everything in a new way again, one of the youtubers I impatiently wait for updates from. xD
This has me interested to know if the physical reaction of blood rushing to our faces when we are embarrassed or emotionally upset otherwise is an evolutionary trait that was obtained through cross-species breeding. Humanity is just version 3 currently. Homosadpeon 3.0. Don't ask what happened to 1.0 and 2.0.
Just like the Kangaroo name.When Aussie prisoner settlers,and explorers discovered Australia,they saw a Kangaroo.They asked the local natives what the name of the animal was,and they answered,"Kangaroo.",which means,"I DON'T KNOW!"
I had this girl tell me to kill myself because I agreed killing a cougar if it attacks you to survive is ok. First off cougars aren't even endangered. Second I have a family to get back to, second it attacked me. I'm not gonna die for that. Also its not like I said kill it for existing, like it obviously did to me. Because I wouldn't go up to a cougar and pester it. For what? To die?
IMHO they’re cute. They become really clingy when tame. And ugliness is a matter of taste. I always was a fan of all lemurs. And btw. I think that there’re dogs which are uglier and those I’d pet as well.
I often can't fall asleep until the sun comes up, so I'm pretty sure that makes ME the largest nocturnal primate. I'm wondering if it's insomnia, or an evolutionary advantage.
I’ve almost watched all your TikTok’s and I’ve watched all ur yt vids. I like telling my friends the facts I learn from you and watch them question everything 😈 thank you 😊
A lot of people say that the mandrill is the most dangerous primate but after all the stuff you've covered on chimpanzees I'm not sure, what's your opinion on that?
I think baboons cause more problems for people than a mandrill? Isn't a mandrill the planets largest monkey? A much rarer species. Chimps are quite terrifying!
What was said about the proboscis monkey brought to mind this story: I worked at my city's animal shelter. We'd house feral cats until fixing then releasing them. We had a young, all white female who was in heat. Because of her heat, she would trill and roll around, looking for all the world like a nice cat; but we couldn't handle her. Because the "Population Management Team" spent all of five seconds looking at each of the 400 animals we had housed there, they placed her for adoption. But she would do that flattened, butt-up pose female cats in heat do... and since the cages were right there at eye level, and her being all white... There it was, right in your face. Her wide open bright pink... Priscilla. We put a towel over her cage door, cuz I was like, "For Christ's sake, children come here!" I'm by no means a prude, but this was a bit overt, even by my standards!
Truly ridiculous that an entire group of people all voted a horribly disfigured corpse of a relatively pretty fish as the ugliest animal. I appreciate you educating people on animals with a pretty good sense of humor.
Okay, as a fellow biology major I knew a lot of shit about the Aye Aye but I did not realize how far they stuck their fingers down their nose. They've really been out here giving themselves Covid tests for fun.

Dude! Blob fish are adorable! I don’t know what anyone is talking about, they’re adorable and I will die on this hill! 😤❤️
The most unique writing.... hands down....every sentence is so creative yet sounds so natural...all the while maintaining to the cold witty Humour...
Love ur videos
This channel is seriously amazing. Ive learned more in 12mins than an hour long nat geo doco.
Love the quick quips and similies!
It’s like a bat that’s gone through a life of very hard drugs.
Aww I actually think the snub nose monkey is adorable and looks like it's done with everyone's else's bull crap. It looks a little grumpy and I love it. ❤️
the snub nosed monkey is goated in my opinion. INSANE how it's on the list. All of the media I've seen regarding them has been positive..
It probably wants emeralds
I too find them incredibly cute, favorite monkey for sure.
@@theamazingspy3179 it's probably where villagers evolved from
If 'Yeah, so what do I care?' had a face.
That intro had me giggling, and the "disheveled disadvantage" had me cackling. Didn't have to do Aye-Ayes like that lmao
"Much like the pug, the Aye-Aye walks a delicate tightrope between being radically ugly and cute as hell." - Ze Frank. I mean, the reason we get creepy pictures of them is because we're disturbing them while they're out in the wild at night by shining bright lights right at them! NO nocturnal creature likes it when you shine a light at them! Aye-ayes who are actually CALM and USED to humans can be adorable! My favorite fact about Aye-Aye's is that less than a thousand years ago, the Giant Aye-Aye (Daubentonia robusta) was around. So now if the people are afraid of this Gremlin, imagine how terrified they would have been of seeing one that's TWO TIMES bigger!
fun fact: we frequently wind up killing deep sea fish when taking pictures of them as the flash makes them die from shock
6:25 Ahh yes our favourite trans icon, King Julien
There is NO BETTER animal breakdown channel than this dude right here, not even close🔥. My 8-year-old son now gets all his animal education from this dude. A little bit of a mistake because at least 3 times A-day, every day my son will go, Hey dad, "did you know such and such and that's because of this and that. I really appreciate this channel 🔥👍👏🏼
The Tarsir is also the world's smallest carnivorous mammal. It only eats bugs.
It also squeaks loudly when it sees a snake, alerting all other Tarsirs, which join in the cacophony of squeaking till the snake leaves.
It's adorable.
7:30 Don’t tell me they try to sell you one banana for eight emeralds.
"The aye aye is built like an identity crisis..... hands that would have gotten it burned at the stake in Salem"! You ripped me right out of a bad mood in less than 5 minutes! Love all your videos!
Love the message at the end "no matter how rough you look, you'll always matter to somebody" keep up your videos man
I loved that last line. "If you look like something GOD made on a deadline."
I had to clean my monitor because of the spit take I did all over it.
Always stay classy Casual.
7:36 Yoo Thats the Ape that mInecraft Villagers evolved from...
3:19 it looks like a frog
I am so happy to have found you on RUclips! You are, hands down, my number one favorite people on the internet. I can't wait to see each and every video you publish and it literally makes my day. I live on disability and have a low fixed income lifestyle (no pity here!) but if I had the money, I would not only be *on* your Patreon page, I would be the *only patron you need* to keep yourself in a comfortable lifestyle. Thank you for everything you do.
He has ads on the videos, right? So just sitting through those should help him a bit tbh
@@The-Seal-Of-Approval even if I watched the commercials, which I don't (I buy the free RUclips package) my op would still be true. But I believe that you are kindly missing my point. Someone who is fully sponsored *doesn't have to rely on commercials.* He could buy whatever audio/visual equipment he wants in order to use to do his work. With the right equipment and a studio to broadcast from, he could release videos at his own pace and endorse only the goods that he himself uses and, (just so he can continue to make those clever segues for his sponsors)
He could be his own man, answer to no one. Heck, he could open his own internet channel and be able to post his content in the clear so his followers could watch him make casual endorsements every now and then on his own server. This man, whose name I sadly can't pronounce (which it seems he's used to!) is exceptionally clever, intelligent and remarkably well-informed *and* well-read from his academic years and he just keeps absorbing more data as an internet authority.
Okay, so I went a little crazy with this daydream, but an influencer like this, who doesn't post crazy challenges or spread gossip and news is worth it! That is, he would be if I suddenly found myself flush with cash...
@@koriw1701 That's very kind and generous of you. But if that even became a possibility, remember to take of yourself too.
I'm so glad your channel has grown as it has. RUclips and the world in general needs more knowledge and love the way you are presenting it.
8:20 what? But it's so cute and fluffy looking!
" it's the opposite of pretty privilege it's like disheveled disadvantage"😭😭
I personally love these kind of animals and I find them extremely cute.
Came here to say the same thing! They are cute!
7:10 nippples are close to the groin on pretty much EVERY species other than humans.....so that's actually NOT odd my man
You just made me imagine nipples close to the groin. I'm gonna have nightmares...
Love your channel! I appreciate how you do your research before bringing this information to us. Not only educational but also entertaining. You're such an amazing, intelligent, handsome young man. I wish you the best. Keep these awesome videos coming!
1:33 Matter of fact, the first time scientists saw it they legitimately thought that it was a squirrel that nature tried redrawing strictly for memory💀💀
@Don't Read My Profile Picture 🖕🏼
@Don't Read My Profile Picture Thanks, I won't
@ 00:50 was that a real turtle omg I didn't even know that they got that big!! Turtles are my favorite
If a tortoise can get ginamisourus then turtles have the potential
6:06 “disheveled disadvantage” 💀
If I recall correctly, Michael from Vsauce once noted that the way to get people to learn things is to teach them before they realize they're learning.
I feel like you do a similar thing with the science tidbits. If you just told someone that hippos can't really swim because they're all muscle, that's not going to stick with anyone, but that they're so tanky they don't *need* to swim and just adapted to walk underwater? I wouldn't be able to forget that even if I wanted to.
5:28 yeah same here, there adorable I genuinely thought it was a amalgamation of a fennec fox, a cat, a bat, a monkey,
to be honest, the Aye Aye seems very cute, you just gotta appreciate the cuteness in its own way
I love the way you combine humor and information. I only recently discovered your channel and subscribed immediately. Thanks for the great content!
The aye aye resembles a cat who was bitten by a vampire and then halfway through the transformation just said, "Screw it."
The booger picking and eating is logical. It chews through rotten trees. Rotten trees are hella dusty. And this thing's nose is pressed against said tree, while chomping on the dusty bark, and it still needs to breathe.
So its getting its sinuses packed with particles.
So it uses its finger as a pipe-cleaner. And animals don't have sinks, and can't afford to let a booger crust up on a grabby thing. So, they clean it like all animals clean stuff.
I remember in fourth grade when we had to do projects on animals. I did the Komodo dragon, because I have always been like that. A buddy of mine did Aye-Ayes, and told us all about what he found. His several months of research is what taught me all I know about them.
They vary in appearance from "okay he's kinda weird but he's charming" to "literal crack-fiend"
Not only do I appreciate your videos. But the music choice? Hollow knight? Now that's just classy af.
my ears physically perked up :o greenpath specifically right?
Got me thinking i had HK running in the background.
Does anyone know what music played at the very beginning of the video?
9:50 -- That properly pressurized blob fish in it's natural environment is actually sorta cute. You'd never guess it turns into 9:42 & 10:14 in the wrong setting.
I've finally watched the entire series, start to finish. It was nice seeing your progression, pal. I think I've learned more about animals from you than school ever taught me. Looking forward to the next one
The Aye Aye is genuinely cute imo, THEY EVEN MADE A POKEMON OF IT
3:36 *_"So when this gremlin goes for groceries, it taps on trees like a Jehovah's Witness going door to door."_*
As one myself, I couldn't take that one seriously. That had me on the ground lmao 😭🤣🤣
_Marvelous Wordplay as always👍🏾🔥💯_
Same
04:20 night vision made it look like a death law from New Vegas.
I concur with your pick for ugliest animal. Those gargoyle goats are terrifying.
0:18 my soul left
4:56 I am a frog lover but even I can’t find any good things about that creature
4:48 “Lake Notgonnasayitagain” has me dying 😂
the way "disheveled disadvantage" got me 😂😂
Man, you gotta check out Grasshopper Mice, Sengis (Elephant Shrew), Elephant nosed fish, and the Sadistic Spider (Yes, that is actually it's name).
This man's editing skills are evolving to another level now.
I know the music says where it came from in the description, but brother. There are tons of songs from those games. Can you list the name of the track?
It's like saying find an address and just giving a state. Then saying "there you go."
Found the intro song ruclips.net/video/YlJU-SScRHk/видео.html
Props to this man for watching over one-thousand hours of National Geographic, scrolling through the internet for 2000, and reading biology for another 1000.
Thank you for always making such amazing animal content!
So far I've yet to find any other youtuber who does content like this, and even if they did it could never compete with yours!
As a nature lover I have watched any animal documentary I an get my lil paws on...meaning theres no new ones for me. This is like getting to see everything in a new way again, one of the youtubers I impatiently wait for updates from. xD
"Looks like it can unlock Voldemort's phone"
I love you.
Man, props for making unsettling yet informative gem of a video
This has me interested to know if the physical reaction of blood rushing to our faces when we are embarrassed or emotionally upset otherwise is an evolutionary trait that was obtained through cross-species breeding. Humanity is just version 3 currently. Homosadpeon 3.0. Don't ask what happened to 1.0 and 2.0.
Just like the Kangaroo name.When Aussie prisoner settlers,and explorers discovered Australia,they saw a Kangaroo.They asked the local natives what the name of the animal was,and they answered,"Kangaroo.",which means,"I DON'T KNOW!"
3:30 they have 6 fingers and the longest is the middle finger
Wait something aint right
I had this girl tell me to kill myself because I agreed killing a cougar if it attacks you to survive is ok. First off cougars aren't even endangered. Second I have a family to get back to, second it attacked me. I'm not gonna die for that. Also its not like I said kill it for existing, like it obviously did to me. Because I wouldn't go up to a cougar and pester it. For what? To die?
Can we do one on the goblin shark or greenland shark or frilled shark…. Basking sharks… just weird sharks… there are so many weird adorable babies 🖤🖤🖤
Yes!
Ugliest monkeys are us humans tb- aight nevermind.
IMHO they’re cute. They become really clingy when tame. And ugliness is a matter of taste. I always was a fan of all lemurs. And btw. I think that there’re dogs which are uglier and those I’d pet as well.
I loved Aye Ayes as a kid I always thought they were cute 😭😭
2:29 Glad I'm not the only one that thought that orange grub looked tasty as a kid. Probably why my butt eats so many Trolli sour gummy candies now.
I often can't fall asleep until the sun comes up, so I'm pretty sure that makes ME the largest nocturnal primate. I'm wondering if it's insomnia, or an evolutionary advantage.
I’ve almost watched all your TikTok’s and I’ve watched all ur yt vids. I like telling my friends the facts I learn from you and watch them question everything 😈 thank you 😊
The way he nicknames these animals always have me laughing 😂
O k, let's make one thing straight, India did not divorce Africa, Africa split up all of the continents's ass OK.
A lot of people say that the mandrill is the most dangerous primate but after all the stuff you've covered on chimpanzees I'm not sure, what's your opinion on that?
I think baboons cause more problems for people than a mandrill? Isn't a mandrill the planets largest monkey? A much rarer species. Chimps are quite terrifying!
@whaaa t making pizza?

The titi frog looks like it was made in spore with the Creepy & Cute parts pack. God I feel old saying that...
What was said about the proboscis monkey brought to mind this story:
I worked at my city's animal shelter. We'd house feral cats until fixing then releasing them. We had a young, all white female who was in heat. Because of her heat, she would trill and roll around, looking for all the world like a nice cat; but we couldn't handle her. Because the "Population Management Team" spent all of five seconds looking at each of the 400 animals we had housed there, they placed her for adoption. But she would do that flattened, butt-up pose female cats in heat do... and since the cages were right there at eye level, and her being all white... There it was, right in your face. Her wide open bright pink... Priscilla. We put a towel over her cage door, cuz I was like, "For Christ's sake, children come here!"
I'm by no means a prude, but this was a bit overt, even by my standards!
"Survival of the fittest, more like if it works it works" relatable
Truly ridiculous that an entire group of people all voted a horribly disfigured corpse of a relatively pretty fish as the ugliest animal. I appreciate you educating people on animals with a pretty good sense of humor.
