Lmao basically.

Ok, I can’t stop laughing at your comment @Connor Brown.
1) I’ve had to stay isolated in my home for the past couple of years due to being immunocompromised - which isn’t as horrible as it might sound. My husband was able to switch to working from home for the most part, and we have 3 dogs to keep me company on the rare occasion where he gets called out & has to be away for a few days. Plus I see & visit with the rest of the fam & friends online all the time. (Plus I’m not exactly an extroverted person normally anyhow).
2). Not long after I had to start isolating, we converted the front room of our home into a studio for me to do my crafts in (sewing, painting, etc - I’m retired, but thankfully all my hobbies pay for themselves thanks to occasional commissions & online sale of my work). The whole reason we did this is due to having been born with severely impaired sight & my needing all of the natural light of that particular room to see by.
My sight issues couldn’t be fixed at birth nor even today via corrective laser surgery. Then I began to develop cataracts in my 40’s, and found out they could implant a lens that could correct most of the issues I’ve struggled with. I was booked to have surgery Jan 2020, but it was understandably put off due to the pandemic, which is fine as it gave us time to save up for the rather pricey lenses. Finally was able to have the surgery (both eyes at once) 2 1/2 weeks ago & can now see clearer than I ever have in my life, which is beyond fantastic, except…
I’m currently so light sensitive that I can’t see a dang thing in my studio, not even with the curtains drawn, so I’m now doing all my orders & projects at night. I’m well aware that this is totally a “first world problem” & please know I’m absolutely NOT complaining - just found it really funny to realize that I have so much in common with a Coelacanth 😂🤣
Apologies for this stupidly long comment. Greatly appreciate the laugh - hope you’re having a great day.
Me as a fish
"Mom, I can't find the potentially extinct species!"

Thank you for making my stressful day better :)
That moment when you realize that the stegosaurus was as ancient to the T-Rex as The T-Rex is to us...
So is Allosaurus and even more so for Dilophosaurus
I dont believe on dinosaurs honestly id rather believe in God

@@sirblue5586 well cause i do believe in both but i just find it hard to believe in certain science materials
The land before time lied to us
I had a massive surgery last year in August. And afterwards I was so stressed out I kept having panic attacks. But I found laying there and focusing on listening to hank (specifically) talk about scientific things, really helped calm me. Thank you Sci Show, and thank you Hank!
Here I am down with COVID and bingewatching Hank’s videos…
@@patrician3821 I hope you feel better now. Hugs
hope ur feeling better now
Sci show has been a fantastic distraction for my anxiety and depression, especially while working and driving long distances. Thank you for providing us a plethora of content to binge, you are appreciated!
@@WagwanHappyPappyHapPap I would agree. It helps me, too.
Scientists: Did you die?
Coelacanth:Sadly,yes...
Also Coelacanth:But i lived!!!
Coelacanth:My death was greatly exaggerated
I'm okay!
..... Still okay! 😂
XD
Scientists: "65 million years ago, we lost the dear Coelacanth."
Coelacanth: "QUIT TELLING PEOPLE I'M DEAD"
Scientists: "Sometimes we can still hear its voice!"
"Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated."
LOL!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oh LOL, is that a Brother Bear reference?😂
@@espiderhan Indeed it is!
Yeah lol they didnt even explore the whole sea yet and they say its now extinct

THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR MENTIONING MARGERY!!! I have watched so many documentaries that never mention her, giving all credit to the fishermen for the discovery and identification!
The genus name is Latimeria (2 species). That's enough recognition among the people who matter.
When you said 10 km long Lord Howe Island... while showing the Lord Howe Island Stick Insect, I got really scared for a moment.
lol yeh I was thinking the same as he said it - 10kms long...... no he's not about to name a species surely?..... Island - ah ok then :)
I'd initially assumed that he mispoke and meant centimeters rather than kilometers.
Lol, that makes me think of those prehistoric centipedes and millipedes that were several feet long. It gives me the creeps just thinking about them. Hell, modern centipedes and millipedes kind of creep me out.
So...giant bugs creep you out? I know of something that might make you "weta" yourself.
@@HaydenX "weta yourself" Lol clever, very clever! I like that!!! Smart!!!
Researchers: Yay, we found a supposedly extinct species😊.
That species: You dickheads found me again😡.
The longest game of hide and seek on history.

I have another fish for this list! The robust redhorse sucker, a freshwater suckerfish that lived in the Southeastern US, was thought to be extinct until a woman in Georgia found 2 big ones in a stream on her property. These are now my husband's favorite fish. 😊
They called it a Rock Rat when they could have named it the Laos Mouse?
Haha I love this! Laos mouse!
David Buschhorn
Haha! Spot on, bro!
David Buschhorn, great name. So fun to say.
Should start a petition to change it..
Its a alola raticate
Please, please, please, show the pictures (of the animals) more often. I like to see it while I think about it. If I can’t picture it I don’t know what I’m learning! Haha merry Christmas!
They should show only pictures and videos. No one needs to see him talk. Happy Easter!
@@bobthecool56 I like seeing him talk and more pics.
Yeah that’s what I was thinking just talk over the pictures in the video
I’ve seen dorks wearing glasses and talking enough, like when I look in the mirror. So let’s see more of these not-extinct animals!!!!

@@bobthecool56 I don't mind seeing him talk, but the parts where it just shows the words he's saying are useless.
"The ten kilometer long Lord Howe Island Stick Insect."
Please tell me I'm not the only one who's brain made that jump...
I paused the video when I heard that to look for this comment
Brought to you by skull island
im not surprise because ive researched abt this before
I like big bigs and I cannot lie...
Nope, not me
Okay, maybe me
Yes me
Well, if Coelacanths never really changed...
*That would explain why Relicanth never evolves*
Well they went from egg-laying to live young. But that's not big enough of a difference
Now if only we could find a lost dinosaur colony
You mean a non-avian one, right?
Ahmed Wael Hopefully not.
About time now.
Mokèlé-mbèmbé look it up
wassim.sghaier I am aware so to clarify I mean non-Avian Dinosaurs. Besides it’s almost impossible barring a lost colony somehow surviving in the Antarctic
I really really hope the Tasmanian Tiger is still alive. :) Some intense forest down there.
@Afra The Fox Girl
my favorite 'extinct' animal of all time. ever since I was a toddler.
you guys forgot the dodo lord
Would be nice, but it's highly unlikely. Southern Australia and Tasmania are densely populated enough that an animal that large is simply not likely to go unnoticed for the last 90 years. Like the Lord Howe island stick bug, Thylacines best hope is if it still exists on an isolated island. With luck we have some DNA preserved and one day might be able to bring it back.
Bettie Turner and megalodon
bongo155 they said the same thing bout all the other animals in this video
Speaking about extinct animals. I miss cows.-Futurama
When I hear cow it made me won’t hear the polish cow idk why lol
2:50 "Hey what kinda meat is that" "I don't know. Just found it"
So... Coelacanth are literally prehistoric cave-fish? Man, that ROCKS! XD
*Ba-dum tish*
*Ba-dum FISH*
Well played.
@Furry Hunter Quit being a little *beach.*
These puns are getting a bit

The coelacanth has always been my favorite ancient organism as a kid. I dunno if it is because of its anatomy or the fact that it was the first time I've heard of it being a living fossil back then, but it always fascinated me as a child.
'Cause they're a zillion jillian quadrillion years old! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Coelacanths are Truly Amazing!! Crazy to think that they swam the oceans at the same time that T-Rex walked the earth!
I encourage folks to look up #6 - For a bug these are extremely caring for each other. Such as the male will cradle/hug the female and so on. Especially worth reading for those that think bugs are all Eat/Mate/Die type animals.
I'm getting up there in age, even as a young boy I always wondered why we only thought humans were capable of emotion. If my dog can love its buddy, why can't a bug?
When a bug have a better house than you.
Well, are you an endangered species?

I had the absolute privilege of spending two weeks at Melbourne Zoo helping to look after the Lord Howe Island Stick Insects. They're absolutely amazing, bizarre creatures. They love to huddle in massive groups, and remind me a lot of spiders, in the way that they look and walk. The baby stick insects are bright green, and turn darker and darker into maturity when they are completely black. I didn't get to see Vanessa as she is in quarantine, although the glasshouse she resides in is incredibly impressive. I really hope one day these prehistoric stick insects can be returned to their home on Lord Howe Island. The Invert team at Melbourne Zoo do phenomenal job in caring for them and keeping the species alive.
When I heard "You'll find the ten-kilometer long--" I had a moment of irrational fear of a 10-km insect.

This will never be read but here goes. I love the way you present and talk. Please do more! I almost enjoy that more than the subject of the video!

The Jamaican Iguana (Cyclura collei) is a great example of this too! They were thought extinct until they were rediscovered in the Hillshire Hills. Captive breeding has increased species numbers and now the International Iguana Foundation is working to reclaim the Goat Islands for more reintroduction 🤗
And so the great goat-iguana war begun...
Crested geckos were once believed to be extinct. My pet gecko, Flame, says otherwise. 😂
My Treecko disagrees as well.
Freedom Anderson 😂
gary (my crestie) disagrees also
They were just looking on the wrong island lol. They literally just had to look over there and go to that one
I was hoping theyd talk about cresties!! They havent even been in captivity a long time. About 30 years, before that they were considered extinct.
Mine likes sleeping on the glass door so she definitely wants to be seen. My gargoyle gecko is much harder to find
$80,000 for real estate in Melbourne is a pretty good deal!
Yeah but consider the square footage
Researcher: You'll be used for breeding purposes in exchange.
Vanessa: Sign me up

You didn't mention the Takahae, which is a large rail resembling a giant UK waterhen. It is native to NZ, but was believed to have become extinct around the turn of the century. It caused much excitement when very small numbers were discovered on South Island in 1948. It is still a rare bird, but probably not quite as rare as it used to be.
Oh my god when he said 10-kilometer long... and then showed a picture of an insect
I thought he was going to say the stick insect was 10 km long
Tree insect
Xletricity small Grove insect
I thought that too! And I was going to post a comment mocking him for saying that..but I was mistaken.
That would be a terrifying world.
Lord Terranovaa
Forest insect
You should cover the Tuatara. They look like tiny little dragons and are the cutest reptile! They have changed a far bit since the dinosaur age but they were around in the Mesozoic Era. They live to around 100 and it takes 10-20 years for them to even start breeding, and then still they don't stop growing until they're 35.
Due to my dyslexia I have a great deal of difficulty reading, so pages like yours are the best thing for me to discover and learn. Thank you 😊

I love the effort to go metric. Thumbs up all around!
Fernando Sato I do too! As an American over 50, Im going to be driving myself crazy translating into English forever though. Wish we'd changed in the 70s when we had the opportunity.
Well as most scientific articles will use metric, I'm sure it was less of effort to just use the native metric measurements, rather than turning it around into inches.
-also: the Lord Howe's Island rat is being persecuted as we speak! And for what? Some panda bug that's perfectly happy on an adjacent isle!
Þankarat Aþalaþulf Sormr "perfectly happy"
Thumbs up, down with feet :P
Using the SI is just scientific. Thank you, Sci-Show!
Might be my new favorite Hank performance -- great job, everyone!
Also, "TERRIBLE NOSE SWORDS" is the name of my indie-punk garage band, so thanks for the plug!
I was surprised there were not many pictures of the almost Extinction animals mentioned here. Love the video/info they contain ❤️
Getting ready for bed, and watched this to get some feel good news. I was not disappointed.
Good news. I'm not extinct!
6:12 I'm happy that the Neptune Cup Sponge is being saved. But don't save Uranus Sponge, that would not be hygienic.
Mine already is being professionally preserved. They are even wearing their own fancy monocle.
oh my god
Trifling.
Master Therion
Wow, bud. That was so weak! I'm sincerely disappointed in you. This one warrants a big fat F!

Fanny is a reference to the ass in the US, too.
So that's where relincanth comes from
Kell Oggs probbaly also why it doesnt evolve.
Finally. Someone who thought of that too.
Uh yeah? I thought everyone knew that
@@AmeliaOak Apparently not. :o
Wow... I never thought anyone would actually remember relincanth... well, I remember it cuz I use it as my dive TM slave...
I've actually heard about the Neptune's Rock Sponge, and how there were two found not that long ago. Random knowledge strikes again
I've actually studied the toads (5) and come up with some tactics to improve breeding them. Fun to see them in this program :-)
"Eat this?" "What animal is it?" "I dunno" Hahaha... Oh dear.
Love being early, here's a question. All of the narrators you have, what are their favourite types of sciences?
That would be a cool idea for a themed video! Each host in turn could briefly talk about a topic from their favorite subject.
Hanks is definitely ecology
SCIENCE is their favorite science
🌠the more you know🌠
Coelocanth are one of my favorite species of fish. They are so amazing to watch swim...not that there are many vids of them.
Just stumbled upon your channel and now you have a new subscriber keep up the awesome work
Sooo happy that list shows are a regular feature again!
So who else was amazed by the pronunciation of coelacanth after creating their own in their mind
I only know the pronunciation since I was little because I heard it on TV, otherwise who knows what I would say!
me, no lie, i always actively said something more like Kelacanth or koalacanth, didn't even think to try a soft c. known the word since early childhood lel
I think it should be spelt "ceo" not "coe", how the hell does "co" make a "s" sound?
I first saw the name in Ark so I started saying something along co-el-a-canth instead of see-luh-kanth
"co" doesn't make an "s" sound indeed.
However, "oe" is, in this case, a combined vowel sound making coelacanth a similar case to cereal.
Interesting stuff, sir!
Glad to have learned about these mollusks!
If any RUclips video deserved a pt.2 its this one! this was awesome to watch
A very informative and interesting video. Thank you for posting it.
I’m still waiting for a living Thylacine to be captured..... any day now...... they’re still out there......I hope.
I want to believeeeeeee!!!
They're using motion sensor cameras in Qld (Cape York) looking for them now, fingers crossed! My money's sadly on the captured animals being seriously overgrown cats, but I'd love to think that they have somehow survived - and if so, that we'll actually have the maturity to care for them this time
ALL HAIL LORD DODO
Hank dude! I just saw you singing at your brother from Brotherhood 2.0 as part of the Digits documentary. Was an ace coincidence after starting to watch Sci Show via Veritasium!
It’s so weird how so many of these discoveries/revelations happened in my lifetime but I never heard about them. Instead, I know Kim K’s baby’s name 🙄
Shows what the news, and sadly the majority of people, really care about.
it's the opposite to me, I only know Kim K's name from people who talking about her, I don't even know what she looks like, in fact I don't know any celebrity's life, while I am still 20 😅
You have been brainwashed by the media
I hate what society wants us to care about. I dont care about any celebrities life or baby. I think stuff like this should always make the news. I mean think of it. Every day species go extinct and new ones are found. I think the world we live in views science as this collection of facts set in stone while its actually more of the story of everything. Scientists piece together that story of everything. Now people who dont like science will probably ask: why do we even do science .why do we bash things together when were toddlers? Curiosity. See those same ppl indicate that there is a major flaw in the way we think nowadays. Part of the problem being the education system. Science is the most human thing to do. Ppl usually only are interested in science if something new is discovered that can improve their day to day life in some way but sometimes... its just exiting to find a species we thought was extinct. In the grand scheme of the ever expanding cosmos knowing what kim kardashians babys name is is basically random information. Science on the other hand has long term effects. Whether a new species of microorganism is found or we figure out how to colonize mars, everything will be stored in the collective knowledge of the scientific community and those same discoveries can alter our lives drastically far beyond knowing what kim ks babys name is- me some geeky 12 year old
Who?
Sometimes it’s nice to know that, as a Singaporean, Singapore actually isn’t just about tall buildings and concrete walls, but also about cool animal species living off the coasts of our islands. (Also, all the cool looking sponges!! Why? Do? I? Not? Know? About? This? Time to go read up about cool sea creatures)
Merry christmas everyone!
Geckomaniac 3 merry Christmas
merry christmas ya filthy (but not extinct) animals *sprays tommy gun* and a happy New Year
Merry Christmas all
I'm not a Christian but happy Christmas I guess
Geckomaniac 3
Merry X-Mas to you, too.
Really interesting video. I enjoyed watching it. Thank you very much 👍👏
my favorite one is crested geckos. They went from thought-to-be extinct to rediscovered in the 1990s and now are one of the most popular geckos in the pet trade since they breed so easily in captivity.
Okay that's bizzarre, I was literally JUST researching Lord Howe's Island (I'm a massive geography nerd if you must know), that's kinda uncanny.
from mallorca here! I have actually seen these frogs on the mountains and i am very proud of the work that is going on to preserve this species!
Same Here! No Matter how Many Times i Go to tramuntana i wont find Them
If you haven't done it yet, a video about some of the weird animals that co-existed with early humans would be cool. I'm thinking of species like diprotodon, the 3-ton wombat that lived in Australia until about 46,000 years ago.
I took a break from my biology homework which was writing notes on a Crash Course video. Those videos are narrated by this guy. I can’t escape.
The laotian rock rat is so cute in a weird way
Agreed!
The first animal (which I never managed to speak out correctly thanks Hank!) Is called "Quastenflosser" in German roughly "tassel fin" in English and i find that quiet a funny name
My vote is for the Bermuda Petrel. Thought to be extinct for 300+ years then found living on tiny islets within shouting distance of the Bermuda airport!
Hey Scishow! Love the videos I'm hooked!
Video idea- " Strangest/most interesting sea creatures that inhabit the "twilight zone"
Great hosts. Great content. Thank you!
I will donate when I can.
I wonder how long an individual coelacanth might live. I suspect they have long life cycles. Just a feeling.
I hope they can survive the anthropocene.
They won't.
John OBrien Gardener we won't
Nothing will survive the anthropocene haha
I mean, by definition we can't survive the anthropocene unless we regress to a hunter-gatherer lifestyle.
Wrong, we CAN survive the anthropocene, without reversing our progress.
If, at some point, humanity leaves earth altogether and heads for another planet.
Great information,subbed,cheers
I love hearing about species found that were thought to be extinct.
Well now I know where the idea for relicanth comes from
Yeah, I know ...
Actually, I did know ... after awhile, though, you just take it for granted.
Coelacanth look like the inspiration for the Lavasloth from the Monster Hunter series...interesting.
Monoplacophoran shells are also rather fascinating in their structure on an artistic and biological level. I’ve heard they’re rather textured naturally, more so than crab undersides.
Also, Laotian Rock Rats look super adorable.
Always interesting, thank you.
Subscribed. Love this channel.
Awesome video :) You missed out my favourite though, the mainland Tamar wallaby from South Australia, believed extinct until New Zealand did a survey of animals on one of their islands they wanted to clear of ferals to create a "noahs ark" for their endangered species & they found the "extinct" Aussie wallaby there (the critically endangered eastern brush tail rock wallabies from NSW were on the island too). Turned out a twit of a South Australian Governor 100 odd years ago had gone to NZ for another government posting & decided to create a zoo of exotic animals there & took everything from zebras to wallabies with him. Bad news for NZ's wildlife, but lucky for the tamar wallabies. The Australian government eventually went & collected some & brought them back to Australia for a breeding program
Apparently the coelacanth doesn't taste very good, and there are no reports on what the laotian rock rat tastes like, yet.
Excellent factual presentation - as usual for this channel
This guy is a kick! Very good! He’s obviously quite smart & a jokester...! Fun to listen to.
This was well welcomed news :-)
My favorite Hank shirt :)
Yo! I thought this was clickbait from the thumbnail and didn't even realize it was a legit source like scishow. Great video!
I really like this guy for some reason 😄 keep it up guys 👍
You left out the black footed ferret. Thought to be extinct in the 1960s until a specimen was killed by a ranchers dog near Meeteetsee (spelling), Wyoming. This led to the discovery of a colony of 18 members in 1984
This video was worth it just for learning there's a place called Ball's Pyramid
Thanks for great video!
Also heard about several types of apes, wich was considered to be gone forever, but not long ago, after the war in Vietnam. But they was found there alive:)
Another good one cheers!
I love hearing about Aussie species that are doing alright, or at least better! For once, I’m rooting for an insect larger than any insect I’d want to find in my house!
No crested geckos =[. Good video I didn't know about any of those. Merry Christmas guys
I was expecting them too.
Great video..kudos!
Splendid job. Like it a lot. Love 👌 🎥👌FANTASTIC! Cute animals. I like their looks.
