Hey there! We’ve done a bunch of videos in the past on animals, and since then there
have been a lot of new things I've learned and great comments from all of you - so I thought
it would be great to revisit some of them together again - where I'll be jumping in
through out to add some new commentary and referencing some things I learned from you!
Let me know in the comments what compilations you want to see next or answer one of the questions
listed in the videos you’re about to see! Here’s our first video up: Which animal is the smartest?
from sending people to the Moon to creating the almighty Spork you've accomplished some
pretty impressive Feats of Science and Technology seriously I mean it doesn't get much better than
the sport you guys should just quit now but how do other animals across the world stack up to the
science Speedster triangle Bob and I spent a lot of fake money on this so please don't get it dirty
let's start off our journey on land by looking at one of the animals that you humans are compared
to the most chimpanzees chimpanzees may be even smarter than humans in some ways research with
the chimpanzee named ayumu suggests that chimps might have a better short-term memory than humans
My short term memory is actually terrible, so those chimps have me beat! Did you know
that Chimps share about 98.6% of human DNA? Also I’m embarrassed by this,
but I recently found out that chimps aren’t monkeys. Monkeys and chimps are both primates
but chimps are actually categorized as great apes. Okay. Back to the video!
the numbers one through nine were put up on a screen with a random Arrangement and ayumu was
able to recall the location an exact sequence of each number after they disappeared it looks
like only a small minority of you humans have this ability that being said chimps don't seem
to be that spectacular with social intelligence according to a study toddlers had a better ability
than chimp to watch someone and figure out what they were trying to do and what they wanted dogs
actually seem to be closer to a toddler's social intelligence than chimps as they perform better
on tests involving Cooperative communication skills now it's time to take to the skies
oh hey there Mrs Crow just the bird I was looking for and nice top hat you got
there crows might actually be pretty intelligent creatures and in Studies
have come out recently to show it one use motion cameras to see that new Caledonian
crows use tools in the wild to fish out large beetle larvae from Holes In Dead wood another
study showed that crows May understand how to displace water to get a reward
Sorry. Really quick. After you watch this video, you guys seriously need to look up
videos of crows solving puzzles that humans give them or them using toolsIt’s fascinating!
they completed four out of six displacement tasks which could put them at the Casual understanding
level of a five to seven year old human but probably the most amazing study on our winged
friends suggests that they exhibit Advanced relational thinking crows were able to build
relationships like matching different size circles to Circles of the same size and were
able to do so spontaneously and without explicit training this would put crows in the same category
as humans apes and monkeys in terms of having Advanced relational thinking put up the hydro
shield it's time to dive into the sea it's it's that button just press just press the button
there we go perfect here we find the adorable dolphin who along with other cetaceans has a
brain that may have advantages over primate brains this is because their auditory sense
is both their primary sense and their main way of communication if we compare that to
humans in general the primary sense is often Visual and the main way of communicating is
usually with noise dolphins and cetaceans may be able to literally project an auditory image
this would allow them to do things such as audibly convey an image of a fish to their
friends it would be like if you humans could communicate with Holograms and personally I
think Holograms are really cool so what animals do you think are the smartest any
animals you would like us to cover next let me know in the comments section below
I hope that video didn’t get you down. I saw some comments that were along the lines
of “all these animals are smarter than me” Some animals might be super smart,
but nobody can overanalyze an A24 film quite like humans can! We actually
should do more videos like this. Octopi and elephants are ridiculously smart!
Next video we have “What would happen to all dogs if humans died off” man…i
forgot how sad this title was. Hmm…well it did make me appreciate
my dog professor cuddlesworth, so that’s a plus. Let’s watch!
Furry Friends make our lives better they save lives as police and search and rescue dogs and
take care of us as therapy and Service Dogs studies even show that they improve
our health by reducing stress and lowering blood pressure and cholesterol they also
make Twitter slightly more tolerable thanks to their adorable little faces
I don’t think dogs can even save twitter now from what it’s turned into,
but when i looked more into the whole dogs reduce stress thing,
i learned that just interacting with your dog in a positive way increases oxytocin,
the feel good hormone! ALSO! People with dogs actually have lower blood pressure.
that's why whenever I get stressed out I spend time with my buddy Professor cuddlesworth here boy
that's a good dog yes you are it's clear that life without them would be horrible for us but what
about them if every human suddenly disappeared what would happen to our dogs the question really
is do they even need us researchers estimate we've been domesticating dogs for 10 to 40
000 years since then we've provided them with food protection and shelter without humans dogs
that are used to being cared for would need to quickly learn how to fend for themselves since
no one will be filling up their food bowl they will need to scavenge or hunt for food so dog
breeds that are known for their tracking and hunting abilities like spaniels and retrievers
would have it much easier than other breeds they will also be living in a world without temperature
control so some dog breeds that struggle in the heat or cold wouldn't fare well in those
climates dogs with thick coats like the Husky or brachycephalic dogs with flat faces like the
Bulldog could easily overheat in hot regions while breeds with short hair like the boxer
or dogs with low body fat like the Greyhound would freeze in cold climates good thing
Professor cuddlesworth here Falls right in the middle plus he's a skilled Hunter yes you are
Dogs are so powerful. It was so nice to see all the comments you all made about your
dogs and how much you love them! Re-reading these comments warmed my pixelated heart!
since dogs were bred to be less aggressive than their wolf ancestor the portion of their brain
responsible for the fight or flight response has shrunk which will make it difficult for
most dog breeds when faced with Predators over time it's likely that most dogs would
adjust to their new lives once they've developed survival skills like finding
food and shelter and forming alliances but it may take a few Generations we've seen
this happen with dogs who Escape or are released into the wild without human contact they become
feral according to a 1995 study the first few generations of feral dogs have high rates of
juvenile mortality and indirectly depend on humans for food however after long periods
of time when natural selection has taken its course we're talking thousands of years here
wild dog species emerge this is thought to be the story of the Australian dingo So eventually dogs
will be okay though it is reassuring that your little buddy needs you just as much as you need
them so do you have dogs what kind and let me know their name in the comments section below.
Dogs and humans should just never be apart. I learned a lot making that video…and most
of what I learned was that if Professor Cuddlesworth were to ever get deleted,
I'll burn the life noggin world to the ground.
haha okay!
For our final video, we have “What’s Hiding in the amazon rainforest?
If you were hoping it was treasure, then i got some bad news for you! If
you were hoping it was some really cool birds, well…that’s so spot on. You’re in luck! Enjoy!
we've already talked about what's lurking deep in the sea but what's
hiding in the rainforest rainforests cover six percent of the planet fifty percent of the world
species live in rain forests and there are some weird creatures out there this is the Patu bird
the Central and South American rainforest birds have huge mouths and bulging yellow
eyes yes they really look like this how could something this attention-grabbing survive in
the rain forest oh oh that's how these nocturnal Birds seemingly transform themselves into tree
stumps and branches during the day they blend right in their predators like monkeys and
Falcons mistake the birds gray brown and black feathers for tree bark and leave them alone
Fun-fact I learned in the comments. The potoo birds are sometimes called
“Poor-Me-Ones” because of their sad sounding calls. You’ll have to listen to really get it.
[sound of the potoo bird call which sounds like a person whaling in sorrow]
Sounds depressing, right?
okay that little guy was cute but some other creatures in the rainforest could well haunt
your worst nightmares meet the kangaroo fish this Amazonian fish may only be a few centimeters long
but it can do some serious damage this parasitic little sucker is known to prey on larger fish
forcing itself into their gills then the kandaru spine opens like an umbrella locking the fish
inside allowing it to Feast on blood from the host's arteries Legend says that these fish can
swim up the urethra of unsuspecting people bathing in the Amazon River once it's up there it's said
to eat oh okay you know what never mind you can probably guess what happens next onto something
less horrifying the Rhinoceros hornbill this incredible bird is found mostly in Southeast
Asian rainforests that second beak looking thing is actually Hollow and is used to attract mates
rhinoceros hornbills are monogamous so when they find a partner they mate for life after finding
their sweetheart the female lays her eggs in a big hole in inside of a tree the two lovebirds
then seal the mom and the eggs inside by covering the hole with a paste made of feces and fruit ah
how romantic about 75 days later the mom and chicks burst through the seal ready to explore
the real world talk about an entrance huh last up are the decoy building spiders in the Peruvian and
Philippine rainforests these tiny spiders can be smaller than your pinky nail but they're capable
of some pretty creepy stuff they craft huge replicas of themselves in webs using leaves
dead insects and even their own skin and that is pretty hardcore then the real spider hides
and Shakes the webs to make it look like the decoy spider is moving when something comes
along it's thought to be a defense mechanism used to scare away Predators the rainforest is filled
with amazing living things but experts say we're losing 137 species every day.
I know some people we’re shocked by this part of the video, but listen to this. According to
NatGeo, the amazon rainforest contains 40,000 plant species, nearly 1,300 bird species,
3,000 types of fish, 427 species of mammals, and 2.5 million different insects.
So with it being consistently destroyed, it’s no wonder we’re losing so many species!
yeah you heard that right the rainforests need our help and humans need theirs too
the Amazon rainforest alone produces 20 percent of our oxygen and forests
around the world absorb nearly 40 percent of the CO2 humans produce every year so
yeah we better figure this out or we're gonna have a lot more CO2 and a lot less
oxygen and also a lot less fun animals like this little guy I'm gonna name you squawko!
Doesn’t the potoo bird look like something that would be used to
sell plushies in star wars? That decoy spider was pretty amazing
huh? Every time i make giant versions of myself, people just usually laugh at them.
So make sure you give this video a like and comment what your favorite animal is below!
i wonder if there are any uncommon favs you have i don’t know about!
