Growing up, my sister literally was abusive to me, stealing from me, bullying me, when she did something wrong she tried to frame it on me and ENJOYED my mental torture. She was literally an older shoebill sibling to my mental health and almost everyone is like "that's how kids are" when I tell them that and confused why there is no sibling bond between me and my sister
At times when the mother's nutritional intake isn't enough, the body taking from her nutrient stores and breaking down tissue to produce milk for the baby is kinda a form matriphagy
I was actually telling my dad about caecilians earlier today, saying that the offspring ate parts of their mother. He, having used to live in Italy, laughed and told me that wasn’t true. I gave him a weird look, he gave me a weird look when he realized I was being serious, then I said “caecilians. Like, the amphibians.” He said he just thought I had a really weird misconception about Italians.
That's nuts, I was actually driving home yesterday and thought, "Hey that Daninblue guy hasn't posted in a while." I figured it was a break during the holidays. Anyways, this was a very interesting topic (not surprised it's not more widely studied). No doubt this practice has links to some extended period of time where resources were scarce in the species' histories. I wonder if a study has been considered to see if the instinctual inclinations in species that do this can phased away through a few generations by placing them in a controlled nutrient rich environment. And yes, I would be interested in a parent v.s. offspring conflict topic video.
Happy to see that you made a new video, I find it interesting how we try to humanize animals but they’re so different from us. I wonder where that came from.
@@paulgoogol2652 bro are you dumb? Although we are related to every single biological thing around you, we have more intellect and possibly (still contested) more consciousness than any other animal on this planet
@@paulgoogol2652 and that’s the most no shit reply I’ve ever gotten, yeah no shit were animals but if you have any sense you would know that I mean any animal except for US
crazy how the first spider basically teaches her babies how to spider and sacrifices herself to do so… there’s probably some poetry in there somewhere that’s sick af
Big fan of your channel bro. Looks like you’re improving every video. Editing looks better than ever. I would definitely be interested in a video on the parent/offspring conflicts!
The only thing I don't like about your videos is that there isn't more of them... All jokes aside you're easily in my too 5 favorite RUclipsrs and I yearn to binge an entire day watching your videos 🤘
one day i see people started to act weird another day i see animals feeding themselves to their children and then I understand people arent the only one strange creatures
Your videos are so good, U talk about subjects that I never really thought about but are definitely prevelant in the world and maybe even our society. I look forward to more great videos from u 👍🏽.
As sad as this is for a Human, we can't possibly know how life actually feels in the perspective of these tiny creatures. So, empathy is good so long as it isn't over the top.
Most likely matriphy is just more food for numerous babies who can’t hunt for food just yet and mommy has a lot of nutrients. More babies to survive means the species survives in numbers and not just one mommy. Nature seems to favor which ever increases the amount of individuals to survive.
When i was 5 i had pet hamsters. They ended up being an aggressive type of hamster tho. Had to separate the two. The mom ended up giving birth. I wake up to the mom surrounded by her babies yet she ate almost half of them. With guts and body parts around her. It was a good wake up call to how nature can roll at a young age lol I've been fascinated with science/nature all my life.
@@whitedragoness23 it was insane. It definitely freaked me out as a kid. I didn't want to have any more hamsters as pets but i didn't let it stop me from loving learning about nature and having other pets.
@@benmcreynolds8581 it reminds me how I learned turtles will eat each other….not pretty when your a child and I refuse to eat turtle soup because of those images. Ugh.
Skin feeding is not comparable to matrophagy, but actually to breastfeeding. Humans and other mammals produce a nutritious liquid for babies to feed on, just like the cecilians produce a thick nutritious skin layer.
9:32 Siblings actually win more from an individual being successful than parents do. It's just that they have an alternative of being successful themselves which outweighs it
@@lilspacecoupe1585 Your evolutionary traits are more likely to be passed down in case of your sibling reproducing than that of your parent But because you would still prefer(from an evolutionary perspective) to survive and reproduce yourself it creates a competition when there is something to compete for (For example parental care)
It's quite a neet dynamic where the upsides and downsides of competition have to constantly weight against upsides and downsides of cooperation, to the point where drastically different sibling behaviour can be observed in the same species
@@easytiger6570 ohh I get it now interesting but siblings don’t have identical dna there is variation between them so technically your sibling reproducing doesn’t mean your exact genetic information was passed on
The blood of Orochi flows over the Hakkesshus. They are the Servants of this God. They represent the forces of Nature and are reincarnated every 100 years. And each of them represents one of the 8 heads of Orochi. They possess superhuman powers, and their only desire is to break the Seal of Orochi, release the Power of the Void, and resurrect their Lord. They are born in random parts of the world, with no memories. Without knowing who they are. But one day or another, they will discover their purpose. They will have to fight against the Sacred Treasures (Yata Clan, Yagami Clan and Kusanagi Clan). They, the Sacred Treasures, are the protectors of the seal. Orochi's desire is to destroy all of humanity, leaving only Gaia (Earth) and Nature. The Hakkesshus will do anything to achieve their goal.
What a wholesome video to end the day with 💀
What a wholesome video to start my day with 💀
I would like to learn more about parental-offspring conflict. It will help me learn more about why my family doesn't have a great relationship.
Growing up, my sister literally was abusive to me, stealing from me, bullying me, when she did something wrong she tried to frame it on me and ENJOYED my mental torture.

Along those lines, babies will leach calcium from their mother’s bones. Not uncommon for mothers to have arthritis or lose their teeth.

What a heartwarming video surely the coments section will be full of puppies and rainbows
Omg that dancing spider at the beginning made my day
So fuzzy
So smol
Look at ‘im dance the night away
I believe that spider is a sparklemuffin.

"Animals" are different from "us"? Guess what. Humans are animals too. You talk here like pigs were basically like spiders.
@@paulgoogol2652yes pigs can look at spiders the same way humans do basically
It came from the animal side of humans.

yesss a daninblue vid to watch while eating lunch ur vids are a constant W thanks for the content
I'm going to share this with my mom as a warning, yumm 🍖
Always look forward to your videos man, love this!
when i originally watched this i had no clue it only had 6k views. its a great video!
I will watch anything you put out. Your videos are so interesting and I always leave having learned something neat!

In AOT ymir's children set the perfect example of matriphagy😋
Love your videos man, always gets me thinking and curious about more topics like this
Your videos are so good, U talk about subjects that I never really thought about but are definitely prevelant in the world and maybe even our society. I look forward to more great videos from u 👍🏽.
9:43 yes, i am interested, please make as many of these vids as possible, its interesting af
Great video. Cheers for the content.
Would have made a great mothers day video.
Could you make one on the “grandmother theory”?
Sending this video to my parents at 2:00 A.M!
Awesome video my dude!
Keep up the good work!
Lifelong bio- nerd here! Love to see young biologists sharing this fascinating science! So glad i ran across this channel.
This video was audio only for me. Spiders ...are not my thing.
Brave enough, even when you dont watch :3
Amazing vids my friend, love this channel! 💪🏼
FINALLY NEED MORE VIDEOS!!!!!
love your wholesome videos 😍❤
As sad as this is for a Human, we can't possibly know how life actually feels in the perspective of these tiny creatures. So, empathy is good so long as it isn't over the top.
I will watch it with my eyes closed, thank you.
Good video! That's pretty gnarly!
matriphagy & patriphagy is my new political strategy
Hard to believe traits like this could, at least preserve, in any intelligent, civilization forming specie.
Here before this blows up
Yes, please make the video.
Most likely matriphy is just more food for numerous babies who can’t hunt for food just yet and mommy has a lot of nutrients. More babies to survive means the species survives in numbers and not just one mommy. Nature seems to favor which ever increases the amount of individuals to survive.
At 4:00 - I'd refrain from using the expression "fine tuned", or any variations of it. You're giving ammo for Creationists to quote-mine.
What about when Cartman made Scott Tenorman eat his parents through chili?

Let’s eat, mom VS let’s eat mom😂
Great content
As I always say "A mother must feed her children."
Skin feeding is not comparable to matrophagy, but actually to breastfeeding. Humans and other mammals produce a nutritious liquid for babies to feed on, just like the cecilians produce a thick nutritious skin layer.
I've heard rabbits can do the reverse, if there's not enough food then a pregnant rabbit will sometimes absorb the kits.
Imagine being a matriphagic animal and seeing your mother burnt your food.
Matrifaggy was my nickname in middle school
yeeeeeeeees ur back with a great vid about another one natures crazy adaptions, also u should swear more lol
200th like😁 keep it up!

The happy spider dancing is trying to mate with a female and then he will get eaten by her after mating or if she just doesn't like his dance
No wonder my 2 year old is always biting his mom and laughing!
Fun for the whole family!
Damn fresh video nice
I always wondered why Sicilians were so short. Turns out their babies are nibbling them down.
I got a ad for food relief in gaza for this vid😅😢
i could have gone my whole life without learning about skin feeding
King Fritz has entered the chat…
c-section babies unite (sorry mama)
I think my neighbor engaged in this once-
The blood of Orochi flows over the Hakkesshus. They are the Servants of this God. They represent the forces of Nature and are reincarnated every 100 years. And each of them represents one of the 8 heads of Orochi. They possess superhuman powers, and their only desire is to break the Seal of Orochi, release the Power of the Void, and resurrect their Lord.

Orochi's desire is to destroy all of humanity, leaving only Gaia (Earth) and Nature. The Hakkesshus will do anything to achieve their goal.
I mean the benefit is very obvious
New horror unlocked!
Brother what
Moral arguments are boring arguments most people just do what's best for them Regardless of morality
But god exists and is good 😃😀😄😀😃🥳🍾🥳
