      Please learn how to properly pronounce the terminology before attempting to voice the script.
      "Chelicerae" should be pronounced "Ke-liss-eh-ray," and I think someone in the comments below caught you pronouncing "arthropods" as "anthropods."

    Had an irrational fear of spiders all my life until I went to a wildlife sanctuary last year. Got to hold a big scorpion and several tarantulas, putting on a brave, enthusiastic face in front of my kids, to teach them to overcome their fears. Now I can catch a huntsman without harming them so i can bring them outside, without resorting to smacking them with my chancla.

      We don’t have huge deadly spiders in Australia. Our biggest spiders are average in size compared to the biggest outside Australia and the potentially deadly spiders are not big at all. The reputation we have is not accurate at all. But drop bears……..they are pure killers like small pox. No one is safe from drop bears ☠️

      That's just human nature. We naturally gravitate to the pretty birds and mammals. But, in reality the most important organisms in the ecosystem are usually the bacteria, insects, spiders and all of the other small flora and fauna. If the polar bears go extinct, it's a shame, but it isn't going to endanger the planet. Honey bees and other pollinating insects disappear and you have a huge problem.

    I’ve always been fascinated by the mechanics of spiders. As stated the “hydraulics” used for their legs. The way they breathe and how they see. My favourite is the South American Bird Eater or the Goliath Bird Eater. I want one as a pet.

    • @pineapplepenumbra
      @pineapplepenumbra 13 дней назад

      The hydraulics is, of course, the reason why they curl up when they die, as then there's nothing to oppose the rigor mortis of the muscles, but what I don't understand is how they manage to pump so rapidly.

    One of the best presentations on arachnids that included the distinction from other arthropods going back deep into geologic time, so far back as Cambrian time there were creatures that were clearly chelicerates. I particularly liked mention that we humans are much more closely related to sharks (and even more primitive chordates and maybe even echinoderms) than are spiders and insects.

    We should have goats produce silk like spiders do cuz actually we can do that and then we can have clothing made out of spider silk like material and after that we can wear the clothing and the clothing is like Kevlar but 10 times as strong. It's like wearing steel. Imagine making armor out of spider silk. That would be like you could stop a bullet just by standing there. Be like hey shoot me. It's just for fun. It's not going to hurt whatsoever LOL. You know cuz you're wearing a super armor made of silk from spiders. That is very strong. The strongest stuff ever imaginable well besides maybe some elements that we don't know about and forest Fields but that's future stuff. This is now stuff

      That is correct. The theory of evolution describes change over time, or how things evolve. On a side note, that's not how quotation marks work and to appear truly stupid, the word "just" is in the wrong place. To diminish the importance of what a theory is, the average Troglodyte says "just a theory". Instead, this is just a display of bad punctuation. But in case you don't know (you don't) a theory is

    No thumbs up. The narrator has an American accent, but all the measurements mentioned are in the metric system. We don't use arbitrary systems of measurement that aren't grounded in the actual physical world we live in. Feet and inches are based on the human body and are therefore far easier to envsion and understand.

      Canada uses metric and speaks like that… most of the world uses metric…. If you grew up with metric you could visualize it just as easily as you can anything else you’re familiar with. Also, bodies are all sorts of shapes and sizes. It really doesn’t help most to understand measurements.
