We are talking about a company that recently made a film near at a concentration camp and thanked the camp's administration en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mulan_(2020_film)
One good myth to cover is that lizards do not change color to blend into their environment they change color to communicate among themselves and sometimes thermoregulate
One of the biggest misconception is about how wolves always target livestock. They only do it when they are desperate or see it as an easy meal. I have been back packing int the alps before and spoke to a few herders who raise livestock in wolf area. One said if a sheep ever wanders off, it is more likely that it ends up dying from injuries like falls than wolves. In the wild wolves will attack ungulates and often go for the sick and young. They aren't going to bother with sheep that have several dogs defending it if they have a sick old moose in the woods who can barely run.
@@zebedeemadness2672that's another misconception. Wild wolves don't have a hierarchy like that Also I'm pretty sure I heard that the guy who made that misconception did further research to fix the misunderstanding but by then most people had already adopted the first theory... I wonder how he felt when he saw his flawed misunderstood theory being unironically applied to humans too 😂 poor guy must let have out some of the dankest eye rolls when hearing about people refer to themselves as "alpha males" nowadays lol
@zebedeemadness2672 people don't like the term alpha because it implies there are hierarchical fights for dominance. That doesn't happen though because they are all related family. If a son won a dominance fight against his father, he wouldn't gain anything because he can't mate with his mother or sisters. Leaving the pack to find his own is way more important
The panda one makes sense. They got hundreds of hairless, screaming creatures pointing flashing, rectangular rocks at them 24/7 while they’re stuck in a big cage. I wouldn’t be thinking about having kids in that situation either.
The so called Egyptian plover-Nile crocodile relationship is even portrayed in Pokémon. For Gen 9/Scarlet & Violet, the Fire-type starter is Fuecoco, who starts out as a baby croc chili pepper hybrid. Its middle evolution is Crocalor, and it wears what looks like sombrero but is meant to be a nest with an egg inside of it. When it evolves into its final form, Crocalor turns into the full-sized croc Skeledirge, the nest goes away and the bird hatches as a little phoenix. The little bird rests on Skeledirge's snout and it tends to peck at Skeledirge's jaws, in reference to the supposed plover-crocodile relationship. Another myth or misconception is about the tailless scorpions, and how some believe they're dangerous to humans just because of their look. Despite their menacing look, they aren't venomous nor poisonous. Humans bothering whip scorpions could trigger their defense mechanisms and cause them to spray concentrated acetic acid, which is slightly more acidic than food-grade vinegar and can irritate your eyes and skin. Since the tailless whip scorpion lacks venom glands, they must rely on crushing their prey as they cannot immobilize it with poison. They sense their prey with their whip-like front legs, before seizing it and crushing it with their vicious, spiked pincers and tearing it apart with their robust jaws
The first myth is similar to the scene in the jurassic world dominion prologue where there is a moros intrepidus cleaning the teeth of the giganotosaurus carolini
It makes senses if you ask me: sharks don't encounter humans nearly as often as they do other fish, and even when they do, a shark doesn't seem to view a human as prey due to them not being adapted to eating people. It's also a widely documented fact that the great majority of shark attacks because they mistake the person for an animal they do regularly prey on from a distance. Most of the time you see divers with sharks, they are avoiding interacting directly with the divers; and speaking of sharks being attracted to the blood of fish, it's for this reason why scientists tend to use chum (which is made up of chopped up fish) to get close enough to the sharks to be able to study them in the wild. Long story short: sharks aren't the man eaters that fiction has portrayed them as being, far from it
@@matthewkuscienko4616actually I think the "they attack us because they mistake us for their prey from a distance" is kinda debunked. especially with sharks like great white sharks. usually what they do is just that they get curious and give an exploratory bite (after all their mouth is the only way they can explore their surroundings) which might be small to them but can be pretty damaging for us. The reason it's not believed great whites mistake us for seals or something is that when a big shark attacks a seal they usually charge at them at full speed from below, bite them with all their force and jump in the air, which is not how most shark attacks play out (I think hardly anyone would survive a shark attack otherwise)
People literally did an experiment in really dense shark water. 3 buckets: 1 human blood, one water(control group) and at the end they did tuna blood. Needless to say the sharks swarmed only the fish blood bucket.
I don’t know, but i agree if the animal was extinct recently they should be brought back, so i agree bringing back the Baiji or the Tasmanian Tiger, but not the Woolly Mammoth or the Giant Sloth.
I'm not too sure it's a very controversial topic. I would love to see extinct animals brought back to life but the ethics are complicated. I would love to give a more satisfying answer but i think it's a bit of a mine field. What's your opinion?
@@TsukiCove I think that it would be very cool to have animals such as the Passenger Pigeon, Carolina Parakeet, and Tasmanian Tiger back. They may be able to rejuvenate their ecosystems, the same way that wolfs did to Yellowstone by filling their vacant role. There should be a lot of regulations to ensure that they are reintroduced properly. These projects however, should also not distract from protecting the animals that we still have.
I find the panda myth funny. People think animals have no standards when it comes to mating, but then I have my dog who rejects every female except dalmatians, he really like then for some reason.
Another myth is that a Panda Bear is an herbivore. It's actually not, it's a carnivore. Bears eat anything that they can get a hold of and they love all of our food like we do.
Another myth that’s false is that cobras and mongooses are archenemies. In reality they always try to avoid each other. The reason for this myth is that people in India would capture these animals and force them to fight each other for the entertainment of tourists.
This was such a good video, Tsuki. I love your little 'cutouts' of birds and lemmings. 😊 I was horrified about the Disney story, however. What a vile thing to do to the animals, and what was the point of such misinformation? They should be forced to give all the proceed of that series to Arctic wildlife preservation! I don't know if you have already done this, but a feature on mole rats would be fascinating. These are extraordinary animals and generally little known.
I think another reason the Plover/Crocodile myth persists is because that kind of behavior does exist elsewhere in the animal kingdom, there are plenty of species that get some or even all of their food by cleaning another species.
Some advices for part 2 of this video. 1 All Sharks need to swim for breathing. (half true) 2 Porcupines shoot their spikes. (no they just fell off or stuck) 3 Pelikans give food to the partners while mating (almost all birds do but not pelikans) 4 Blue drongo helped chinese fishermans with fishing (there are no blue drongos and cormorants help with fishing) 5 Boobys feet are blue from cold (no, there is certain species that have blue feet) 6 Blue roses grows in china (there are no blue roses) Ps: sorry for my english😊

You mean to tell me not every single thing shown by Disney is absolute fact? But for real though throwing lemmings off a Clift is a Dark one Disney…. SMH 🤦♀️
Even though the symbiotic relationship of birds picking crocodiles teeth has no evidence, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was some really rare occurrence we haven’t seen yet.
2:00 Pandas vs Captive Breeding: Confined to a specific area, no longer able to roam freely; while surrounded by strange creatures (humans) who are weirdly obsessed with you; some of whom (the keepers) while feeding and cleaning up after you, also force you to partake activities you don’t understand (like visiting the vet); all while being stuck with the most uninteresting person ever as your only ‘potential partner’. Who truly would want to reproduce in that situation?!?
Thank you for another excellent video! Really Fascinating!!! One of the most problematic myths regarding animals is that of the "alpha" wolf. Wolf social structure was famously described as including the "alpha" wolf based on observation of wolf behavior in zoo conditions. The primary researcher who made these studies then went to study wolves in the wild and found that authority/leadership in wild packs was shared and reciprocal between the eldest male and female wolves in a pack. This is very important because 1) it illustrates how stark the contrast can be between captive behavior and natural behavior and 2) wolves don't have a simple, hyperaggressive style of leadership but instead rely on cooperation between male and female wolves to make a pack work.
A friend of mine is the exact same way, given he owns a few pet snakes himself. Even before we started hanging out more regularly, I had handled a few snakes myself, so it always confused me that people think they are slimy
Another popular one about sharks and crocs. They are not living fossils. Both groups have changed dramaticaly over the course of their evolutionary history.
I wonder if Herodotus had ever heard of cleaner wrasses or shrimps. It'd be pretty wild if he accidentally described an existing mutualism, but said it occurred in the wrong species, and the actual occurrence was in species he'd never actually known about. Also, wasn't that shark one perpetuated by some snake-oil peddler, hoping to sell some sort of shark-based cancer treatment?
Man I was in a long losing argument in a comment section about how birds don’t clean crocodile teeth, with everyone saying they do and that I need to get my facts straight. So I feel a little vindicated seeing that myth debunked once again.
I feel you. Remember: if a group of people feel the need to shove you under tons of mob mentality comments, then you're the one who's in the right. They're just coping... The cave allegory is real
3:25 thats one reason, the other is constant crowd, maybe in isolations without humans nearby could allow them to mate. I'm srating this based on case were two pandas mated during covid lockdown and due to lack of crowds. They most likely require isolation from human crowd and interaction for them to decide.
Cats foam at the mouth when they try to eat a stink bug. They shake their heads and fling drool everywhere. Of course, you know what's wrong because your cat stinks.
Thank you for doing your part in correcting these misconceptions. I'm ashamed to say that I have believed some of the ones you listed at the beginning of your vid. Additional info about rabies I'd like to share: there is dumb rabies versus furious rabies. Most people only hear about the furious form. But an animal can have rabies and only show lethargy or inconsistent movement.
A good one imo is most people assume giraffes have evolved and use their long necks to eat leaves from tall trees to the point that pretty much everyone commonly repeats it. Unless they're zoology experts specialising in ungulates or something. Most Giraffes primarily eat grass. Apearantly it makes up more than 90% of their diet in some populations. They have AFAIK the most extreme heart muscle of any animal alive ( to support bloodflow to the brain on top of it's huge neck) and also the most absurd neck vertabrae of any mammal. All mammals have seven; instead of evolving more vertabrae to support longer necks, like reptiles, noticably Sauropods. They just have seven huge ones. There is (again AFAIK) no apparent reason (apart from spotting predators arguably) for giraffes to have these bizarre necks. And nobody knows why.
Omg i cant believe people actually took the bird and crocodile thing seriously. Even as a kid i knew that bird's beak was made for seeds and/or small insects and not meat which the crocodile would eat. Like why would it put itself in danger to eat something that it can't digest and would probably makes sick or kill
I tried googling the crocodile thing after I heard of a croc that tried to eat his mate when she had a seizure, an animal like that didn't seem to be likely to let things hop around in its mouth, especially not a reptile in the sun.
In regards to Myth 1, Brian Jacques, author of the Redwall series, always had a gift for storytelling. When he was 10, he wrote a short story for his class assignment about a bird cleaning a crocodile's teeth. His teacher beat him for that, not because he unintentionally furthered a myth, but because Jacques wrote it so well, his teacher couldn't believe that a 10-year-old wrote it. Good thing Brian Jacques never claimed it was a true story, or so I read.
A super common myth that ppl always say is that a mother animal won’t take her babies back or will reject them if they come into contact with humans. Obv do not go touchin wild animal babies but it is extremely uncommon for this to happen
Misconceptions... lets see, putting a rabbit on its back calms it-Wrong, it goes in to a state of shock so its actually rather traumatic if I have that right. A big one, fish grow to the size of the tank- BIG oof on that one. Very frustrating and personally had to deal with that quite a few times believe it or not. Its mind boggling how people still today believe that. Another, take a wild caught imported animal back to its country of origin. Theres sooooo many things wrong with this that make it impossible its ludicrous, but people still persist that it should be done. Same with captive born animals.
The story about the lemmings reminds me of a story I heard about a movie called Milo and Otis. That movie was originally from Japan and was then dubbed over for Western audiences. During the filming of the movie, over 50 animals died.
The misconception that I run into a lot is about sheep. First of all, not all sheep have wool. There are hair sheep that can rather look like goats from a distance. These sheep are raised primarily for meat. By contrast, Angora goats have long, wavy-curly hair that some people might mistake for wool. As for sheep personalities, we have raised two rather primitive wool-breeds of sheep for about ten years now. While many people think of sheep as gentle and even defenseless, sheep can be quite aggressive. Mother ewes can defend their lambs by ramming a person, but the most dangerous sheep, of course, is the ram. When I got into sheep-raising, the person I bought my sheep from told me that a ram can be the most dangerous animal on the farm. During breeding season especially, a ram can suddenly decide that ANYTHING is a threat to his ewes and attack it. This includes the kind human who feeds the ram everyday. Rams "ram" by running straight into the "threat" (rather than a goat, who stands on his hind legs usually and crashed down.) A ram can seriously hurt you, even if he "knows" you. This leads me into a final but serious point: animals are animals. They react on instinct rather than reason, and they may not see your daily care of them as "love" and respond in the same way. Male animals such as rams, llamas, deer, and bulls that were bottle-fed by humans and therefore lost their fear of humans can be EXTREMELY dangerous and aggressive. I think there are still warnings on some powdered-milk-replacer brands about this. You simply cannot anthropomorphize all animals by crediting them with human emotions. You have to meet animals on their own terms and play by their rules. To do otherwise is extremely dangerous.
Isn't there a kernel of truth with the Lemmings myth? I could have I read in an ecology book that some species would find themselves in rivers during mass migrations, although not by suicidally throwing themselves off cliffs. If that's not the case, I feel lied too lol.
well its true they will when overpopulating try to wander off in masses and if thers a river ,lake or even the sea ,,,they will ,,,well try it the animals dont know that they cant swim so far ,,theyr insticnt wil lthrive them to find a new place to live even if its theyr death sometimes Animals can also be tricket like standing on a shore of a sea/lake and seeing an island in the distance ,,then swimmign towards it but throwning midway ,,, ppls then assume its suicide but in reality its just the animals instinct tellign it to go there ,,but not knowing it would not make it
Not true. These animal have been around for tens of millions of years and were thriving , the only reason whey they are endangered in the first place was because of humans encroachments on their habitat. The cheetah on the other hand, a catastrophe that happened several thousand years ago have now doomed their species and they will become extinct if humans don't intervene.
If the method proves to be working and if the ecosystem were those animals were originally still exists and there's a niche available for them, all is well... I would love to see dodos and alks back in place. Tasmanian wolf (or was it a tiger, even if it isn't really a wolf of a tiger, I seem to remember it is a marsupial) perhaps. . But I think if they really are planing on mamut and hairy rihno... mmm. I see as probable that it will be a far more difficult insertion in an ecosystem where they could have a reasonable life, for those that had been gone from a longer time. Changes in the atmosphere, the vegetation, the microorganisms, the climate... It will be a hassle. Somehow it makes me think in those poor killer whales surviving almost in a bathtub, just for our entertainment her
The thing with the Birds cleaning the Crocs mouth is prob true maybe it was really seen ,,, maybe it was jsut a single bird ,,,,or just a few less then 10 of these birds doing it as much as i know it only got seen once or twice and only in one area and if im not wronge humans killedo f most of the crocs there shortly after so its prob our fault that this behaviour went extinct

You mean to tell me not every single thing shown by Disney is absolute fact? But for real though throwing lemmings off a Clift is a Dark one Disney…. SMH 🤦♀️
what about the fact that rabbits dont eat carrots and mice dont like cheese
What i dont understand is the motivation.
Why did Disney throw a bunch of lemmings off a cliff?
I guess they thought the footage they had was not good enough or interesting enough
Evil fookers
Because it’s Disney and they are the evil empire.
Even though the symbiotic relationship of birds picking crocodiles teeth has no evidence, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was some really rare occurrence we haven’t seen yet.
Definitely I heard a lot of these and kind of sad or shocked that these aren't true or whatever
Overall amazing video though
2:00 Pandas vs Captive Breeding: Confined to a specific area, no longer able to roam freely; while surrounded by strange creatures (humans) who are weirdly obsessed with you; some of whom (the keepers) while feeding and cleaning up after you, also force you to partake activities you don’t understand (like visiting the vet); all while being stuck with the most uninteresting person ever as your only ‘potential partner’. Who truly would want to reproduce in that situation?!?
Disney? Having shame? Don't get your hopes up.
Thank you for another excellent video! Really Fascinating!!! One of the most problematic myths regarding animals is that of the "alpha" wolf. Wolf social structure was famously described as including the "alpha" wolf based on observation of wolf behavior in zoo conditions. The primary researcher who made these studies then went to study wolves in the wild and found that authority/leadership in wild packs was shared and reciprocal between the eldest male and female wolves in a pack. This is very important because 1) it illustrates how stark the contrast can be between captive behavior and natural behavior and 2) wolves don't have a simple, hyperaggressive style of leadership but instead rely on cooperation between male and female wolves to make a pack work.
Myths such as black cats bringing bad luck is such untrue 🤷♂️
It's racist
@@GeraldEatsSoup agree
so, the Egyptian Plovers do not clean Crocodile teeth, but is there another bird who feed on a crocodile, aligator or caiman teeth ?
I could have sworn that I have seen a bbc documentary with birds feeding from the crocodiles mouth 😂 must be Mandela again
A common misconception that pisses me off is people saying snakes are slimy 👋😐 great vid can’t wait for more
A friend of mine is the exact same way, given he owns a few pet snakes himself. Even before we started hanging out more regularly, I had handled a few snakes myself, so it always confused me that people think they are slimy
@@matthewkuscienko4616 right?? Not even close, shit even a slobbering dog is way more slimy and they’re both equally cute! Lol
One myth is that hyenas are mainly scavengers but in reality they hunt 93 percent of there food
Pingo
Another popular one about sharks and crocs. They are not living fossils. Both groups have changed dramaticaly over the course of their evolutionary history.
0:08 what is that,is it a frogfish?
That the parrot species from "Rio" movie is still endangered.
They are not endangered. They are extinct now.
Has it ever been explained why Disney had those filmmakers throw those lemmings off of cliffs?
They like money
@@PilotAwe I guess
I wonder if Herodotus had ever heard of cleaner wrasses or shrimps. It'd be pretty wild if he accidentally described an existing mutualism, but said it occurred in the wrong species, and the actual occurrence was in species he'd never actually known about.
Also, wasn't that shark one perpetuated by some snake-oil peddler, hoping to sell some sort of shark-based cancer treatment?
Man I was in a long losing argument in a comment section about how birds don’t clean crocodile teeth, with everyone saying they do and that I need to get my facts straight. So I feel a little vindicated seeing that myth debunked once again.
I feel you. Remember: if a group of people feel the need to shove you under tons of mob mentality comments, then you're the one who's in the right. They're just coping... The cave allegory is real
That daddy long legs have the most potent venom, but their fangs are too short to puncture human skin. . .
Both are extremely incorrect.
3:25 thats one reason, the other is constant crowd, maybe in isolations without humans nearby could allow them to mate. I'm srating this based on case were two pandas mated during covid lockdown and due to lack of crowds. They most likely require isolation from human crowd and interaction for them to decide.
I had a children animal book tell me about the lemming suicides and I was shook when I learned it was fake
That Frogs just sit on a log and eat only flys, I’ve seen a Bullfrog chase after ducklings and rats also other frogs
Cats foam at the mouth when they try to eat a stink bug. They shake their heads and fling drool everywhere. Of course, you know what's wrong because your cat stinks.
I heard a myth about peacocks that cannot fly because they got a long tail and tail table make them heavy to fly
Another myth that's been debunked, but everyone believes is that elephants view us the same way we view puppies.
Thank you for doing your part in correcting these misconceptions. I'm ashamed to say that I have believed some of the ones you listed at the beginning of your vid. Additional info about rabies I'd like to share: there is dumb rabies versus furious rabies. Most people only hear about the furious form. But an animal can have rabies and only show lethargy or inconsistent movement.
hello!
A good one imo is most people assume giraffes have evolved and use their long necks to eat leaves from tall trees to the point that pretty much everyone commonly repeats it. Unless they're zoology experts specialising in ungulates or something.
Most Giraffes primarily eat grass. Apearantly it makes up more than 90% of their diet in some populations.
They have AFAIK the most extreme heart muscle of any animal alive ( to support bloodflow to the brain on top of it's huge neck) and also the most absurd neck vertabrae of any mammal.
All mammals have seven; instead of evolving more vertabrae to support longer necks, like reptiles, noticably Sauropods. They just have seven huge ones. There is (again AFAIK) no apparent reason (apart from spotting predators arguably) for giraffes to have these bizarre necks.
And nobody knows why.
Aren't there sirenians (manatees or dugongs) that only have 6 neck bones? Still, I guess it is true that 7 is the upper limit.
Omg i cant believe people actually took the bird and crocodile thing seriously. Even as a kid i knew that bird's beak was made for seeds and/or small insects and not meat which the crocodile would eat. Like why would it put itself in danger to eat something that it can't digest and would probably makes sick or kill
I tried googling the crocodile thing after I heard of a croc that tried to eat his mate when she had a seizure, an animal like that didn't seem to be likely to let things hop around in its mouth, especially not a reptile in the sun.
Didn't that incident happen in captivity?
Why did the Disney videographers create that myth in the first place?
Disney did what
In regards to Myth 1, Brian Jacques, author of the Redwall series, always had a gift for storytelling. When he was 10, he wrote a short story for his class assignment about a bird cleaning a crocodile's teeth. His teacher beat him for that, not because he unintentionally furthered a myth, but because Jacques wrote it so well, his teacher couldn't believe that a 10-year-old wrote it. Good thing Brian Jacques never claimed it was a true story, or so I read.
He was such an amazing writer
You forgot to put on the list of myths that Australia isn’t real
A super common myth that ppl always say is that a mother animal won’t take her babies back or will reject them if they come into contact with humans. Obv do not go touchin wild animal babies but it is extremely uncommon for this to happen
Kind of stretching the term misconception
Are you sure about that?
What proof do you got?
i love you
Misconceptions... lets see, putting a rabbit on its back calms it-Wrong, it goes in to a state of shock so its actually rather traumatic if I have that right. A big one, fish grow to the size of the tank- BIG oof on that one. Very frustrating and personally had to deal with that quite a few times believe it or not. Its mind boggling how people still today believe that. Another, take a wild caught imported animal back to its country of origin. Theres sooooo many things wrong with this that make it impossible its ludicrous, but people still persist that it should be done. Same with captive born animals.
The story about the lemmings reminds me of a story I heard about a movie called Milo and Otis. That movie was originally from Japan and was then dubbed over for Western audiences. During the filming of the movie, over 50 animals died.
Well nearly all people
that worked on the disney documentary are dead
Hyenas are scavengers, but only spotted hyenas are predators in their own right.
I have a dog which we take to work, he always jumps out of the car and goes running next to it and always ends up frothing after running so hard
The misconception that I run into a lot is about sheep. First of all, not all sheep have wool. There are hair sheep that can rather look like goats from a distance. These sheep are raised primarily for meat. By contrast, Angora goats have long, wavy-curly hair that some people might mistake for wool. As for sheep personalities, we have raised two rather primitive wool-breeds of sheep for about ten years now. While many people think of sheep as gentle and even defenseless, sheep can be quite aggressive. Mother ewes can defend their lambs by ramming a person, but the most dangerous sheep, of course, is the ram. When I got into sheep-raising, the person I bought my sheep from told me that a ram can be the most dangerous animal on the farm. During breeding season especially, a ram can suddenly decide that ANYTHING is a threat to his ewes and attack it. This includes the kind human who feeds the ram everyday. Rams "ram" by running straight into the "threat" (rather than a goat, who stands on his hind legs usually and crashed down.) A ram can seriously hurt you, even if he "knows" you. This leads me into a final but serious point: animals are animals. They react on instinct rather than reason, and they may not see your daily care of them as "love" and respond in the same way. Male animals such as rams, llamas, deer, and bulls that were bottle-fed by humans and therefore lost their fear of humans can be EXTREMELY dangerous and aggressive. I think there are still warnings on some powdered-milk-replacer brands about this. You simply cannot anthropomorphize all animals by crediting them with human emotions. You have to meet animals on their own terms and play by their rules. To do otherwise is extremely dangerous.
Isn't there a kernel of truth with the Lemmings myth? I could have I read in an ecology book that some species would find themselves in rivers during mass migrations, although not by suicidally throwing themselves off cliffs. If that's not the case, I feel lied too lol.
well its true they will when overpopulating try to wander off in masses
and if thers a river ,lake or even the sea ,,,they will ,,,well try it
the animals dont know that they cant swim so far ,,theyr insticnt wil lthrive them to find a new place to live even if its theyr death
sometimes Animals can also be tricket like standing on a shore of a sea/lake and seeing an island in the distance ,,then swimmign towards it but throwning midway ,,, ppls then assume its suicide
but in reality its just the animals instinct tellign it to go there ,,but not knowing it would not make it
Pandas are cute as can be. But without humans they would be extinct
Not true. These animal have been around for tens of millions of years and were thriving , the only reason whey they are endangered in the first place was because of humans encroachments on their habitat. The cheetah on the other hand, a catastrophe that happened several thousand years ago have now doomed their species and they will become extinct if humans don't intervene.
No they would not. With out humans they would eh thriving.
Humans are why they are endangered.
If the method proves to be working and if the ecosystem were those animals were originally still exists and there's a niche available for them, all is well... I would love to see dodos and alks back in place. Tasmanian wolf (or was it a tiger, even if it isn't really a wolf of a tiger, I seem to remember it is a marsupial) perhaps. . But I think if they really are planing on mamut and hairy rihno... mmm. I see as probable that it will be a far more difficult insertion in an ecosystem where they could have a reasonable life, for those that had been gone from a longer time. Changes in the atmosphere, the vegetation, the microorganisms, the climate... It will be a hassle. Somehow it makes me think in those poor killer whales surviving almost in a bathtub, just for our entertainment

Wow fk Disney even more now
Classic Disney L
The thing with the Birds cleaning the Crocs mouth is prob true
maybe it was really seen ,,, maybe it was jsut a single bird ,,,,or just a few less then 10 of these birds doing it
as much as i know it only got seen once or twice and only in one area
and if im not wronge humans killedo f most of the crocs there shortly after
so its prob our fault that this behaviour went extinct
arent this vid miscomceptioned
