Video Ideas: Iconic extinct birds from each continent.
North America: Passenger Pigeon, Carolina Parakeet, Heath Hen, Labrador Duck, Ivory Billed Woodpecker
Europe: Great Auk
Africa: Dodo
Oceania: Laughing owl, paradise parrot
Those are just a few that I could think of.
thank you so much i need to get to work on this thank you. I'll try and get around to it this week :)
Asia: Pink headed duck from India and a bunch of Japanese birds of Ogasawara.
South America: different species of macaws.
You can do a whole video on extinct birds just from Hawaii or New Zealand
You didn't even include the giant ones like the elephant bird or the moa.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again, there have been numerous reported and documented sightings of the Ivory-Billed Woodpecker, and numerous professional ornithologists (me included) have come to the conclusion that it's still alive. The other birds you listed, however, are truly extinct.
Hmmmm
Largest Frogs?
(You MUST do a Kermit accent at some point there)
I was like "ok, where is he going including Antarctica? Are there pets being kept by scientists there?" 😆
If they actually managed to have pet snake in Antarctica then that scientists is one rich scientists 😅
Largest ''Native''
Cool vid!❤🐍
Awesome video Tsuki
Thank you i appreciate it :)
My Guess before watching
7. Antarctica
6. Europe
5. North America
4. Australia
3. Africa

Will update after video.
Here are some cool videos ideas I was thinking with some examples to help out :D
(Hunter or hunted part 2)
Robbers flys that prey on dragonflys and wasp
Seal prey on sharks
greater noctule bat prey on birds
Cone snail prey on fish
epomis beetle larvae prey on frogs
Tiger leech prey on crabs
(Unassuming predators)
grey seal prey on harbor porpoises
harvester butterfly & pug moth caterpillar prey on small insects
shrike prey on small animals
Grasshopper mouse prey on venom invertebrates
Seagull prey on pigeon
(When prey fight back)
Boars and tigers
Buffalos and lions
Kangaroos and dingoes
Moose and wolves
Porcupines and predators (dogs, pumas, big cats)
Anteater and jaguars
Equids and predators (lions,hyena, pumas, coyotes)

(Eat or be eaten-predator that are known to hunt other predators)
Lynx prey on wolves
Fisher prey on lynx
Wasp prey on spiders
Fox-jackal prey on cats
Sea snakes prey on eels
Great horn Owls prey on other raptors
King snakes prey on coral & rattlesnake
I hope this helps if your running low on ideas
My goodness this is the best list i have ever got and it's really helpful that you've listed examples too. Thank you for your help and i will get to work on some of these :)
@@TsukiCoveI love you for listening an reading the comments of your community ❤
it's the least i can do :)
@@TsukiCove thank you, I really appreciate that :D

Interestingly, length-wise, Reticulated pythons would take the top spot. But Green Anacondas are definitely the heaviest and thiccest bois.
Yeah, and personally I feel like snakes are one of those animal groups where bigness is measured in metres, not kilograms.
theres a solid argument that green anacondas (female ones in particular) may be able to get above 30 feet and surpass even reticulated pythons in length as theres has been several accounts of people witnessing some huge anacondas in remote areas of the amazon where the right conditions do infact exist for a anaconda of that size along with no people to interfere with them.
@@CrimsonReapa yes
@@CrimsonReapa it's virtually impossible for a green anaconda to reach this measure, the largest know anaconda was about 6,4m long.
@@CrimsonReapa I think the largest know Python is about 7,6m long.
You could do part 2 of the largest venomous snakes on each continent
I like this video!😎😊🌞👍
The biggest snake in North America isn't the Cuban Boa. The biggest snake resides in the Parliament building in Ottawa, Canada.
Video idea: largest spider on each continent.
no thanks
Yes please
More snake videos, please!!!!! ❤
I did not know that you would include Cuba in north America. I was guessing that you were going to mention the eastern indigo snake. Witch is a very interesting snake. Love your content, keep it up 👍
North America goes from Canada to Panama with everything between including the Caribbean. South America starts at Colombia.
Eastern Indigo is the largest Colubrid in North America, but hardly the largest snake, a big Indigo would only be average sized for a Boa. Eastern Diamondbacks can also reach the size of Eastern Indigos and are the largest venomous snake in the western hemisphere.
@@mrvwbug4423 I believe Bushmasters are the largest poisonous snakes in the Americas.
Surely there's some African snakes that max out larger than a diamond back?
Mamba?
Brian Barczyck just posted a video about the largest snake as well lmao
God rest his soul
Brian Barczyck is lame AF at least his videos were and are did he die or something if he died how is he still uploading videos
Oh I'm talking about a different Brian Barczyck
Who is he and who are you
@@MegaLaban12345 a RUclipsr who recently passed
You could do a video on domestic animals and their wild ancestors (dogs and wolves, horses and tarpan, cattle and aurochs etc.) or maybe animals that are regarded as holy such as cattle in India.
Venomous and large constrictor snake keeper here… I have all of the pythons and I can assure you, you don’t want to take a bite from a scrub, rock, or reticulated python. Pretty nasty bites if they’re adults. I have an anaconda and it’s bitten me and while it didn’t feel good, it wasn’t that bad lol.
Burmese Python is the largest snake in Asia but reticulated python has more fatality on eating humans especially around Southeast Asia like Indonesia. Also fun fact, green anaconda is the largest snake in the world but the largest snake ever caught by humans is the reticulated python.
Burmese pythons are heavier but reticulated pythons are longer...
Reticulated pythons are the longest snakes in the world...
There are many cases where reticulated pythons ate a human...
Wait if burmese pythons are in Florida does that make it the largest snake in North America
He did title it native though. But you're point is valid. There's also small numbers of loose anaconda.
No it's invasive just like every other animal in florida mate
Invasive species dont count
I was waiting for that but he didn't mention it ,your question is yes but it was mentioned because they invasive species but are here to stay
@@MrVinmanfonzo actually florida is working on exterminating the pythons via trapping, collecting or just straight killing, because they are an invasive species and are very probablematic to the native ecosystem
do rarest freshwater turtles in the world
Eastern indigo snake deserved a mention imo because it is the largest snake endemic to North America. The fer de lance is larger, but it’s much more commonly found in South America than North America. Definitely a debatable spot tho, and great vid overall :)
There are Boas in the Caribbean and Central America, both those places are part of North America. Eastern Indigos are only the biggest Colubrid, but Boas get a lot bigger than them.
I thought Amethystine pythons where the largest snakes in Australia because there were some reports of getting up to 28 feet long, though it is debated if this is just a myth.
Same snake different name
I'm just glad to see that a German Shepherd made it into the video
Titani boa , vasuki indicus. Extinct ofcourse.
Titanoboa was much larger, but thankfully, it become extinct tens of millions of years ago. There really isn't anything big enough to keep it fed anymore, and that's probably in part why it is extinct.
There's thought to be a true giant in the Congo. There was pilot eye witnesses.
I don't think that had anything to do with it. South America has had plenty of megafauna until fairly recent times. Plus the largest crocodiles of today are similar to Titanoboa in body mass (around a ton) and they find food just fine.
Also, Titanoboa is theorized to have specialized in eating fish, and giants like the modern arapaima would still make a decent meal for it.
If the Wonambi didn't go extinct 40.000 years ago it would probably be the biggest Australian snake
What about sea snakes?
I know that most of them are not very big relative to land snakes, but I heard there's a certain Jörmungandr that could circle the globe if cast into the ocean
The video needs corrections.
The largest Green Anaconda recorded was the Green Anaconda "Vovozona" at 6.45m, it died recently and they were only able to measure it precisely because they found it dead.
The largest recorded python is the Reticulated Python "Medusa" at 7.62m.
I think you had difficulty finding the exact information because the largest Anacondas are Brazilian, and here we call it Sucuri, Anaconda is what Spanish-speaking countries call it.
It is difficult to determine which of these species is larger, because even though the reticulated pythons are longer, they are much thinner than the Anancondas, the Green Anancondas are as thick as a tree trunk and very heavy, but past most the time submerged and this weight is not an obstacle.
I would say that green Anacondas are bigger.
From what I've seen, Burms are the potentially longest, but are much less heavy bodied. Retics are usually longer than Burms but max out shorter, but are much heavier bodied. Green Anacondas are shorter than both but much heavier in body.
Facts! Burmese so far are the heaviest ever recorded, followed closely by retyculated. Theoretically anacondas could be the heaviest due to the watery environment. However the jury is still out, so far the longest recorded snake is the retyculated and the heaviest was a Burmese.
@@suricata1993 They didn't weigh the "Vovozona" so we don't know the maximum weight of an anaconda, but given the idea that the Burmese python and the green anaconda have similar weights at the same length, "Baby", which was the heaviest Burmese python, doesn't come close to the size of "Vovozona" being a little less than 6m, if you have a new record please provide the name of the individuous and the officially reported record, perhaps we will have better measurements with "Mamãezona" a green anaconda that is becoming as big as "Vovozona".
In my opinion, Burmese pythons would only be in the match against "Medusa" and "Vovozona" if they found one measuring 6m or 7m as rumored, but if we are to take rumors into account, here in Brazil there are reports of native snakes longer than 7 meters but never confirmed. And the worst rumors they have, that these anacondas are devouring natives who were fishing on the riverbank, were also never confirmed, which to me doesn't make sense because we have several records of green anacondas devouring young cows.
I love pythons
Until they go on hunger strike haha. I swear every time I go to the reptile shop to get food for my milksnake somebody is in there asking for advice on how to get their Ball Python to eat.

As a greek i can tell you that though Montpellier snakes can be quite large, four lined snakes may give them a run for their money. The biggest one that i know of was close to if not 3.1 m, and 2.3 kg in weight
I suspect that Boa Imperator (Boa constrictor) can exceed 80lbs. I say this because we know a 13ft individual weighed 60lbs and they can definitely get a few feet longer than that. There is a report of one being 215lbs but I suspect that's the infamous missidentified green andaconda report.
Those may be unusually large captive bred snakes. Wild ones usually don't get as big or live as long.
I reckon any of the top four could be out there longer than the others..... they just gotta live long enough...
As a kid growing up on an island off the coast of Venezuela I can confirm that mega snakes exist lol
Make a video on the largest ratites in the world
The largest snake ever found alive on camera was a reticulated python in Asia
Longest, not necessarily heaviest.
I saw a 4m snake in Albania bro
Were was the retic
Largest in Asia
Amethistine pythons are found in Australia, and they are bigger than scrub pythons.
They are around the same size but yes it seems as though i could've chosen either of these snakes for Oceania
Scrubbies are amethystine pythons aren’t they…?
@@RyanYoxo my understanding is that the scrub python is coastal ne qld, while the amethystine is found as far west as Arnhem Land. According to Wikipedia there seems to be some debate as to the exact taxonomy, with many proposed nomenclature changes over the last 5 years.
No doubt dna will tell more as we sample more critters
@@johnfoster6412 interesting, taxonomy has changed for many species these last few years, would be keen to learn more tbh!
Second
Isnt the Anaconda also found in parts of Central America as well?
No, they're endemic to the Amazon
No it is not.
@@mrvwbug4423Also the Orinoco and Guiana shield.
I thought that it is an invasive species in Florida, but it isn’t native
King Cobra Black Mamba
Rock pythons might be the fattest :D, large Indvidual's weight 200 lbs at typically 15-17 feet, making them very chonk. Also, second place could be debated between Burmese python and African rock pythons, as Burmese python specimens that large have been recorded, but they were all in captivity. Burmese pythons significantly over 200 lbs are extremely rare in the wild, and large individuals typically weight ~200 lbs making them similar in size to African rock pythons.
I honestly believe there is a rare monster snake in the vast Congo basin
Fer de lances in North America?
I've always been fascinated by Anacondas! I'd love to hug one, but, I know that's not only impossible, but will also stress the animal and make it feel threatened 😭. I'll keep sending love to snakes from a distance 🥲. Great video ❤️.
A well socialized captive bred one probably would let you hug it, it might even hug you back without trying to kill you haha. Yellow Anacondas are significantly smaller, look very similar and are much more handleable. Constrictor hugs are cute when it's a Ball Python or a small Boa doing it, not so much when it's a large Python or Anaconda.
Where is the reticulated Python located at. Figured they would be bigger then any others but the anaconda
Asia.
Larger generally means overall stature/mass. So it sits pretty good at number 2
Retics live in Southeast Asia and Indonesia. They're longer than Green Anacondas but Anacondas are heavier.
Fully harmless snakes make up the vast majority of snake species on every continent except Australia, so I'm a bit confused by parts like where he implies most African snakes are dangerous.
7:25 Hmm 19ft.... I guess the yoink guy wont be finding a 20 footer anytime soon
He means snakes native to the continent, not mistakes that have taken over like Burms and Retics
Drake should've been in this one
what about burmese python in florida
I mentioned that?
I think only native species count
yes sorry i should've pointed that out, i'll put it in the title
It's invasive mate just like every other animal in florida
@@FUNGUSLORDFlorida does have native species as well it's not a lifeless husk
The burmese python is bigger than the Cuban boa and it’s in south Florida. Do you mean native snakes?
Astonishing to think that a snake can weigh nearly a quarter of a ton. Terrible to think that so many people in India die from snake bites.
I was laughing when he said Burmese pythons are threatened and easy to see from thier size ,that don't apply in Florida, they hide and very hard to find and destroy them
I knew Europe was going to be last (Except for Antarctica)
Anaconda is the largest, due to it’s size, the reticulated python is the longest
I was hoping for the indigo snake, it’s probably my favorite species of snake. They move and think like a predator, constantly hunting. They look scary too, the dark colors make it look venomous, but in the light you get that rainbow shine on the scales. They seem like a nonvenomous rattlesnake or something, like all the predatory traits of a venomous snake but they are harmless
As I looked at the size of the Australian Python, I was like this is a pretty decent size
They've been recorded at 8.5 metres long so this list is inaccurate.
I knew South America would be number one with the anaconda
Its titanboa
Snakes never of a shhhhivering, Antarctic climate
So far there is no evidences or proof that anacondas reach 8.8m. 6.27 has been the longest anaconda reliably measured. The rest is myth until proven otherwise. Same for retyculated phytons. There is lots of internet pages saying 10-11m but the most reliably measured was medusa at almost 8m long. Also the heaviest ever measured snake were Burmese phyton (180kg) and retyculated (around 160kg). Although once again theoretically anacondas could be heavier, so far none was measured weighting more than the biggest phytons..
The largest snake in the United States and Canada is the eastern indigo snake
In the US only, there are Boas in Central America and the Carribean that get bigger. Grey Ratsnake is the largest in Canada, it only gets about 6ft long. Eastern Indigos can't handle cold winters so don't live any further north than the southern parts of Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, and Louisiana, but they're most common in Florida.
The largest know anaconda officially measured was 6.4m long.
They get bigger mate
@@jasoncreel963 they don't, it's extremely rare for a green anaconda to reach more than 6m.
Where's Darth Vader
There aren’t anacondas pushing 30 feet
Antarctica has albino python that's why we think there's no snakes there they feed on artic hares baby seals and polar bear cubs.
Then there's the super secret Ice Anaconda, they eat adult Elephant Seals and live under the ice sheet haha
There is only a 2% difference btn humans and chimpanzees...not 5.5%
trouser snakes
What about the giant Congo snake?
Sssssss...
I found this disappointing. Maybe another video that excludes Boas and Pythons.
Cuba is an island in the Caribbean off the coast of North America.
United Statians when they find out other countries exist:
Then it wouldn't be ranking continents by biggest snakes, it would be ranking some random snakes in some random places.
Cuba isn't North America, it's Central America and an small island at that, it isn't part of a continent... and when it comes to being claimed, not even South America wants it lol
Central America doesn't exist it's part of North America and the Caribbean is also on the north American tectonic plate so it is North America
@@IhavenofaithinhumanityCuba is an island in the Caribbean off the coast of North America. Geographically and politically it isn’t part of North America. Tectonically perhaps but otherwise not.
Central America isn't a continent. It's North America (everything North of Panama including Panama and all the Carribean islands) and South America (everything South of Panama).
@@Alan-gi2kuYou can't reply agreeing to someone who says Australia isn't a continent and that it should be Oceania and then proceed to disregard the Carribean islands because you don't think they are part of North America.
@@Alan-gi2ku it's not even on our tectonic plate
These snakes are impressive, but they pale in comparison to the largest snake that ever lived: Titanoboa cerrejonensis. It grew up to nearly 50 feet long, and weighed well over 2,000 pounds!
Titanaboa recently lost its title
I farted
Id say its close between the Burmese Python, and the Reticulated Python, since they're both from the same continent
Everything should have less than eight legs and some fur.
Well snakes have zero legs haha
Why include a place without snakes, then go and list a country instead of a continent??
I think an extra review or two of your videos and the info in them would be a smart move cause these arent even the first mistakes ive seen you make.
It was disappointing.
Because it says all 7 continents, so obviously he will at least mention Antarctica. Also he said Oceania, but the biggest snakes in Oceania are in the country of Australia.
Dude, a simple google search says that eastern indigo is the largest snake in North America. Though personally I think it should be the Burmese python since there are established populations in Florida and they are the second largest snake in the world.
Dude the cuban boa is 35KG (77lb) heavier than the eastern indigo snake and read the title it says native.
@TsukiCove However, the Eastern indigo snake is exclusive to the Southeastern region of the United States, while the cuban boa is predominantly Central American.
North America includes Central America and the Carribean (NA is everything north of the Darien gap and all of the Carribean except Aruba, Curacao, Trinidad and Tobago), there are Boas south of the US border that make Eastern Indigos look small. Eastern Indigo is the largest in the US and the largest Colubrid in North America, but the biggest Indigos are only about the size of an average common Boa.
Dude a simple Google search says that the eastern indigo isn't the largest snake in North America because the cuban boa is way bigger.
Australia is the continent, Oceania isn't a continent.
Oceania is generally considered a continent, while Australia is regarded as an island or a continental landmass contained inside of the larger continent of Oceania.
@@TsukiCovewell said
Bro wtf 😂
Australian being neglectful of New Zealand as usual
New Guinea/Paupua New Guinea is part of the same continental plate as Australia
South America isn't a continent
Yes it is
