Fun Fact: Crocodilians are more closely related to birds than they are to other species of reptile and form a clade, along with dinosaurs, called - "Archosaurs".
Knew a few of these already but it was neat to hear some new ones Thank you for continuing to post these great quality videos gives me something to look forward to
Since all the examples in this video were mammals, here are some non-mammals hahah The closest living relatives of penguins are the Procellariiformes - a group which contains the albatrosses, storm-petrels, diving-petrels, shearwaters, storm-petrels, prions, fulmars, and the like. The closest living relatives of flamingos are grebes - diving waterbirds with unusual feet position (the feet are further back on the body than most birds, fantastic for high-speed swimming to catch fish, but means they cannot stand up on land, instead having to scoot along on their belly on land) Frogmouths, despite resembling owls at first glance, are not related to owls at all - the closest living relatives of frogmouths are the Apodimorphae - a group containing hummingbirds, owlet-nightjars (which aren't owls or nightjars), swifts and treeswifts. Buttonquails, despite being called quails and greatly resembling quails, are not closely related to quails at all - they are closest to the likes of gulls, terns, puffins and skuas. The closest living relatives of birds are crocodilians, being the only two living lineages of the Archosauria. Archosauria also contains the extinct pterosaurs, non-avian dinosaurs, and a variety of groups closely related to modern crocodilians. This, by extension, means that birds are reptiles. The order Syngnathiformes, which includes seahorses, pipefishes, seadragons, trumpetfishes, cornetfishes, flying gurnards and their relatives, is most closely related to the order Scombriformes (which includes mackerels, tunas, bonitos, medusafishes, driftfishes and their relatives) The flying gurnard, despite its name and similar appearance to the true gurnards, is not a true gurnard at all. It is far more closely related to seahorses than it is to the true gurnards. Oh, and for the record, it doesn't fly either. The Vampire Squid, the sole living member of the Vampyromorpha, is not a squid at all. It is more closely related to octopuses. The extinct ammonites, despite close visual similarity to the modern nautiluses, are not close relatives of nautiluses. Ammonites are more closely related to octopuses and squid. The closest living relatives of vertebrates are the tunicates - a group of animals including the likes of sea squirts, salps and larvaceans. They may not share any obvious external similarity to vertebrates, but tunicates do have a notochord in their larval stage - the only animals other than vertebrates to have a notochord (the structure that in vertebrates is modified into a proper spinal cord) The grouping of "fish" as it is often used colloquially is not a natural grouping - a goldfish (a ray-finned fish, Actinopterygii) is far more closely related to humans than it is to a shark (a cartilaginous fish, Chondrichthyes). As tetrapods (the grouping that contains the amphibians, mammals, reptiles and birds) evolved from within Sarcopterygii, the lobe-finned fishes, for "fish" to be a proper taxonomic term, tetrapods must also be included.
No extension necessary for birds being reptiles; they have the traits, end of. Fish are a natural grouping in that humans defined members by traits placing them within the group, end of.
Today, I went to chidiyapur forest after so much time. Last time I saw some deers and elephants. But this time I didn't see any animal. The only thing I saw was a 6 - lane road.They cut the trees to make the road broad. Most of the trees are cut down. The forest looks more like a grassland. It is such a shame that we humans ourselves are destroying our planet. I only saw a large group of rhesus macaque's invasive population.
What are wolverines closest too? Is it weasels or otters? Oh and the Red Panda would be a great one for this video, since it’s in it’s own family, I would wonder what it’s closest (yet distant) relative is
Wolverines are another good example of how big and fearsome Mustelidae can be, don't know how you could have excluded them when speaking of the honey badger
Toucans and Woodpeckers are in the same order. Hornbills are also vaguely related to toucans, but that group also contains Rollers, Kingfishers, Hoopoes.
In South Africa's biggest park, Kruger National Park, there is a tendet camp that's called Tamboti and in the night there is a group of badgers who patrol the camp looking for anything people throw in the bin. There is a special mecanism so they can't get inside the bin but still they learned how to throw everything to the ground and eat all they need. Once they even dig a hole through the wood of the floor from the tend and they end up eating our guide shoes 😅😂
They're extinct now, but pig-footed bandicoots and sengis look pretty similar (small, long legs, long flexy noses) despite one being a marsupial and the other not. Similarly, numbats look a lot like mongooses with extra pointy noses, despite also being marsupials. Springhares and wallabies are also very similar. Basically, there is a lot of convergence between marsupials and eutherian mammals
Bears would make great topic for this sort of video. They are generalists and have/are convergently evolved/evolving with a number of wildly diverse animals.
@@Dr.IanPlect What has come to impress me is that the "basic" sorts of bears (think black and brown) are great generalist. But from these generalists we are getting all sorts of specialization and convergent evolution. Polar bears are trying to become marine mammals. Pandas are trying to become ground sloths. Sun bears are trying to become orangutans. Sloth bears are trying to become anteaters. Beyond that most of the diversity of the caniforms emerged from bears (or a bear-like common ancester). This includes the seals, sea lions and walrus (convergent with whales), raccoons (convergent with monkeys), skunks (convergent with spitting cobras), martens (convergent with margays/clouded leopards) and weasles (convergent with snakes).
This is often a case where two extant types of animal aren’t closely related phylogenetically but are still each other’s closest SURVIVING relative, with all other relatives that would bridge the gap between them anatomically (transitional forms, if you will) being extinct. A great example is birds and crocodilians, who aren’t closely related to each other, as their last common ancestor lived some 250 million years ago, but they are the only two surviving groups of archosaurs, so they are each other’s closest living relative, with turtles and squamates being even more phylogenetically distinct from crocodiles.
I'm always interested in the history of afrotheria. It's a fascinating order and it reflects a short time when Africa was in a state of isolation. Unfortunately there's little information about the history and analysis of the order, and even fewer people who interested in learning about it.
yeah, birds have a bunch of weird relationships. like the closest living relatives of flamingos are grebes. frogmouths, despite greatly resembling owls and occasionally being called "frogmouth owls" are not owls at all - they are far more closely related to hummingbirds and swifts than they are to owls! the closest living relatives of penguins is the order Procellariiformes, which includes groups such as the albatrosses, storm-petrels, shearwaters and prions - strange that birds that are so good at flying they can spend over a decade on the wing without landing once, are the closest relatives to birds that are completely flightless!
yeah, I was surprised to learn that falcons are the closest living relatives of parrots - I would have thought they were closer to hawks and eagles, but they're completely unrelated!
Afroasian vultures are closer to eagles than they are to American vultures, a confusing fact that makes it obbligatory to introduce every video on vultures with a long caveat explaining this. Honestly, why can't we just apply the name "condor" to _all_ New World vultures? It would save a lot of time.
Hippos and all cetaceans (not just orcas) share a fairly close common ancestor. Hippos, the ancestors of cetaceans and cetaceans are all in the same group; Artiodactyla, even-toed ungulates. Rhinos and horses are perissodactyls, odd-toed ungulates.
@@antoniovalenzuela647 "my sister looked at me like if I was crazy when I told her I was pretty sure hippos and orcas were related" - there's a thing that grates me; just saying 'related'! ALL organisms are related, a bacterium and a tree, so your point is trivial. What you mean is the degree of relatedness
@@Dr.IanPlect well yes, but I assume you know that is common knowledge so I felt it unnecessary to reiterate what I meant. I do realize that I could've and probably should've worded it better
Yes, the former are even-toed ungulates, which includes most ungulates alive today, while horses are odd-toed ungulates, alongside rhinos and tapirs, as well as the extinct chalicotheres and brontotheres.
From what I read from a quick search, martens are closer to European badgers and especially wolverines than honey badgers. I always thought honey badgers were on their own, and at least Wikipedia seems to concur. Unless there was research that either no one on Wikipedia got around to edit, or was considered too contested to be included? One neat counter-intuitive cladistic grouping I learned about recently is that horned screamers, while being terrestrial, are closer relatives to waterfowl than to land poultry like chickens or pheasant. Also, I'd suspect plenty would be surprised to learn the pronghorn is a closer relative of giraffes than it is to most antelopes. Also, rodents can be all kinds of weird in terms of cladistics, you'd think African porcupines would be close relatives to American porcupines, but nope, they're apparently closer to naked mole rats.
@@zebedeemadness2672 There were a lot of words there, so I may not have followed everything. The way I always understood it is that basal clades (which in the case of Mustelidae would be the American badger) aren't particularly related to any part of the crown group they're basal to (as everything else in Mustelidae would be closer to each other than any one of them would be to Taxidea) though basal species often are more similar to slightly less basal members of the same clade (hence the 6 most basal mustelids all being called badgers, but there not being a singular "badger clade". Kind of like how coelacanths have a lot of fishy features in common with lungfish while lungfish are actually closer to tetrapods. What they have in common could more be chalked up to both their lineages having diverged before the features all the tetrapods share showed up rather than their having a resemblance due to their being the same particularly recently. Though that's the cladistic approach, I guess. I've come across some who are pretty adamant that all herps should be grouped together, regardless of some having more recent ancestry with endotherms, or insist that everything called a wasp should be grouped together even if some species were conspecific with ants or bees more recently than with each other. I find that hard to get behind, myself.
That the honey badger is related to the badger, martins and all others within the weasel-family was not very surprising. How about the fruit bats, flying dogs and flying foxes? I've heard they are completely unrelated to bats. More related to other mammals? Is that true?
This is a nice informative video. Still I want to address one thing : why do you mention the pseudopenis of the hyena female if you blur it out? Isn’t that what a video is all about? Letting your public see what you are talking about? I don’t think that anyone can be offended by this particular body part of an hyena. If they are, well then they shouldn’t watch nature videos. For animals procreation is an important part of their life.
True. But why mention it at all if you're not going to talk about its use in reproduction or ethology? Its like no one can mention a hyena without talking about her clit? Either way don't blur any part of an animal. I could see maybe if it was aroused.
@@rickwrites2612 If there is a documentary about hyenas the makers mostly address the pseudopenis of the female because it is something that is quite unique in the animal kingdom. It’s not that in all programs that mention hyenas this particular body piece is pointed out. It just depends on if it has a value to talk about it or not.
The polar bears are closely related to the seals that they eat. And the carnivorans and ungulates are more closely related to each other, than either of them are to humans.
Despite their physical similarities the rock hyrax and manatees are not closely related to each other. The rock hyrax belongs to the order Hyracoidea while manatees belong to the order Sirenia. These two orders of mammals are not closely related to each other and are thought to have evolved separately- ChatGPT
The hare was keept in the zoo of Bern, London and Stockholm, aktual there is no zoo listet who keep them now. The moose was keept in 3 zoos in Germany, curently no zoo is listet to keep them. Hannover (Germany) keeps peary-caribous today.
@@jonawolf8023 the caribou's of hannover zoo are clearly not peary caribou's, peary caribou's have white fur. So i think there are no zoos with them. Also, with the moose i'm talking about the alaskan subspecies
@@maevblog9955 i have translatet the name of the carebou subspecies wrong. Hannover keep rangifer tarandus caribou and you ask for rangifer tarandus pearyi (this subspecies are not listet). The moos i have found in this list was the alces americanus gigas.
The Hyrax, elephant, and manatee’s family reunion might be a bit awkward…
Paenungulata is one of the strangest and most confusing clades I've ever researched
If you mate a Hyrax and Elephant you get a mini woolly Mammoth and if you mate it with a Manatee you get a wholly Manatee!
Don't forget the aardvarks and elephant shrews.
The order cetartiodactyla's (cattle, pigs, camels ect) would have quite the get together too.
cetaceans and artiodactyls being in the same room together: well this is awkward..
Here's one
Elephant shrews are more closely related to elephants than shrews
Then they should be called shrew elephants.
Fun Fact: Crocodilians are more closely related to birds than they are to other species of reptile and form a clade, along with dinosaurs, called - "Archosaurs".
thats why birds are considered reptiles allegedly
Birds are reptiles, albeit feathered reptiles, but still reptiles nonetheless.
So, Birds are basically feathered, warm-blooded Reptile.
Yep. 👍
@@OOOOOO-dx7zu No, they have reptilian traits too.

No problem i'm glad you like the vids and i'll keep them coming
I heard somewhere that falcons are more closely related to parrots, than they are to other Raptors. Not sure if that’s true or not but…
It’s true
Eagles hawks and Kites are in one family.
Falcon and kestrels in another which is more closely related to songbirds.
Despite being mislabeled as an antelope, the pronghorn is most closely related to the giraffe and okapi.
I learned that from the channel called "Tierzoo".
Hippos and whales I believe, wow evolution made a pretty much harmless whales into killer tanks with anger issues 😂❤ great video once again ❤️👍
And other even toed ungulats like cows, camels, pigs, etc are related to whales to

Yes, the former are even-toed ungulates, which includes most ungulates alive today, while horses are odd-toed ungulates, alongside rhinos and tapirs, as well as the extinct chalicotheres and brontotheres.

pike topminnows and guppys!
I know what you mean most of the people around were I live are related to baboons...
A non-mammal example. Despite their appearance, hawks are actually related to both sparrows and parrots.
Hawks aren't so closely related to parrots and songbirds but falcons are. Hawks/eagles are not closely related to falcons.
@@tadblackington1676 Whoops, I forgot falcons and hawks aren't synonyms (they are in my native language, my bad!).
Falcons are more closely related to parrots than they are to hawks and eagles and such.

Can't really understand why honeybadgers is on this list. They look like badgers, and they are badgers.
Badger is not a thing taxonomically. There about five different "badgers" which look similar but have evolved from different lineages.
Bears and Sea lions
Okapi and giraffe.
I live where ermine are indigenous I'm glad mustelids don't get any bigger

Despite their physical similarities the rock hyrax and manatees are not closely related to each other. The rock hyrax belongs to the order Hyracoidea while manatees belong to the order Sirenia.

I have a random question: are arctic hares, alaskan moose and peary-caribou's owned in zoos?
I have no idea? probably somewhere
@@TsukiCove i asking it to somebody others. I didn't expected that you will react
The hare was keept in the zoo of Bern, London and Stockholm, aktual there is no zoo listet who keep them now. The moose was keept in 3 zoos in Germany, curently no zoo is listet to keep them. Hannover (Germany) keeps peary-caribous today.
@@jonawolf8023 the caribou's of hannover zoo are clearly not peary caribou's, peary caribou's have white fur. So i think there are no zoos with them. Also, with the moose i'm talking about the alaskan subspecies
@@maevblog9955 i have translatet the name of the carebou subspecies wrong. Hannover keep rangifer tarandus caribou and you ask for rangifer tarandus pearyi (this subspecies are not listet). The moos i have found in this list was the alces americanus gigas.
