Me too! She's incredible and so freaking funny.

[@RedDeadSakharine]

I'm not a fan of spiders, but your funny description of spider sex just put them a notch up on the endearment scale for me. You're a great educator, Ann!

[@Bellymeatman]

Hear, Hear…

[@SleepyGoblinPrincess]

They “get” to survive is such a harsh statement. Literally dance like you life depends on it, because it does!

[@American-Jello]

ABC Science, I hope y'all realize how lucky y'all are to have Dr. Ann! She is a phenomenal host, and these videos just wouldn't be nearly as entertaining without her. She is so hilarious and relatable, I enjoy her hosting so much. I sure hope y'all are paying her VERY well!!

[@tdb7992]

She has a few other shows on television, they might be on KZbin. The ABC is the Australian Broadcasting Corporation so she’s on television frequently. She had a great series about Australia’s urban birds.

[@barbaragagner7053]

When ever I see the Giraffes fighting I remember one at the zoo right before feeding giving his stable mate a smack and his keeper loudly snapping "Gage, enough!" It was like I love that both that everybody, including the Giraffe, acted like she could do anything to stop him.

[@IntrepidFraidyCat]

16:28 LOL! She's so funny! We need more Dr. Ann Jones videos!

[@eestiny9734]

funny, authentic and very informative,

[@raymondo162]

@@eestiny9734all that gurning is just irritating. if i want to learn about critturs i don't need a gurning festival. and frankly she don't NEED to do gurning

There's heaps ?

Successful courtship = You are allowed to live 💀🤣🤣

[@iridiumSerpent]

Too bad humans don't do that 😂

[@a_lethe_ion]

Well in a lot of spoders, males there die earlier or after the copulation anyway. Having the female spider eat the male also increases the visibility of the brood. There's also species where the mother dies after laying eggs and making a burrow - she closes it and dies and becomes her babies first meal dying very closely to them leaving the eggs

[@wellingtonsboots4074]

Great to see you again Dr Jones

[@trala8911]

I really enjoyed the spider part of this video :) I’ve been learning about spiders to get over my arachnaphobia. I’m almost at a year of watching spider videos now, and this one definitely helped!

[@frikkinpenguin]

I always found the animal world quite fascinating and that does include spiders, specially tarantulas. I love watching videos and learning about them. For example why do their legs bend towards the body when they die. Because they use hydrostatic pressure to extend their legs, but flexing is done by muscles. When they die, the pressure stops and the muscles pull the legs in.

[@Lazy_Fish_Keeper]

Congratulations on your perseverance!!! Have you found any of Clint's Reptiles videos helpful? Or Tanner from SerpaDesign? Tanner built an enclosed ecosystem for a jumping spider that adopted him☺️

[@felixhenson9926]

Jesus that story from the diver/ photographer who was charged by the male dolphin was terrifying!

[@lianefehrle9921]

I love to watch any kind of video on here as long as she hosts.

Spider mating is interesting, maybe partly because I'm a woman and the females are the Queens of the kingdom lol.😂❤the peacock spiders are adorable tho, they can mooooove lol😂

I keep feeling something crawling on my back and having to scratch it lol

[@iridiumSerpent]

There's tadpoles in your skin

[@a_lethe_ion]

Nope lol. Tadpoles are beb e frogs and toads and they need more water than our dry dermis has. We have mites, bacteria and such tho.

[@gayleburns8974]

I like you so much! Please keep making these videos. Your personality is what makes them so much fun.😄

Yes, a Dr. Jones vid!

I can't possibly watch this video with sound. I'm in a hotel, what should the neighbors think about me? 😅

I hate that first one with the frog/toad. It hits like a truck for my trypophobia

[@serenityheadley7065]

As someone who’s trypophobic as well, thank you so much for the warning! It gave me a head ups to look away and just listen to the audio. Appreciate it!

I have no regrets, but 1 and that's eating hotdogs while watching this video

Yay!! Dr. Ann!!

[@Bluesidian]

OMG i LOVE her humor lol had me laughing and learning at the same time.

[@blauemadeleine]

These are awesome examples of mating behaviours which are surprising and seem strange. Ducks mating habits would add yet another facet. And - unforgettable - the Kakapo! Thank you for this entertaining and educating video! ❤

[@msbling9]

This was so awkward! Had yo turn my phone upside down at the echidna part cause i am watching this on a train at rush hour😂😂😂😂

[@spudthepug]

I’m curious why they were swabbing it!

[@a_lethe_ion]

Checking for sti's in the populace, viruses etc, taking genetic material etc

[@Makinimi]

I just found out that most giraffe relationships are between two males, The more you know 💫

[@emordnilap4747]

I'm surprised neither seahorses, or angler fish were on this list.

[@alexandergausJTP]

I' m surely not the first, but the first thing I thought after her comment to the spider mating was " He died doing WHOM he loved...!" 🤷 Yeah, I know... Not really original, right?! But that's what I thought.

[@SlouchingTowardsWalMart]

... why does that tarantula have such a wacky human face on the underside of its abdomen?

[@marlenebrown2569]

Never shall I understand the logic about the concept that an organism (Echidna) had to figure out, over time (thousands of years) the better way to mate. How did the species SURVIVE long enough to get that all figured out?

[@MsJevious]

I'm surprised mosquitos didn't make this list.

[@Vixenschuuring]

God never thought I'd see spiders which are kinky We have an african bullfrog at school (education animals) and he is just a fat lil dude who likes his water bath

[@Brian_Of_Melbourne]

Would it be possible to make these videos only using the source clips once or twice? Some of the repetition looks like you're making sensationalist click-bait rather than serious science material.

[@andyvan5692]

a "banger" of a video, lucky this is classed as "nature" or doco, so it's safe to watch, as 'N' ratings only apply to homosapiens :-) thank xxxx for that!!

[@a_lethe_ion]

The female peacock spider was fixed to the surface (non lethally ofc)

[@andyvan5692]

NO, that's sticking your neck out!!- like the giraffe is 🙂 at 3:53 .

[@Kimmaline]

When my daughter was three, she was up in the middle of the night because she was sick. I took her into our backyard so we could sit in the warm summer air for a few moments, and while we were there, a very loud bullfrog started croaking somewhere not that far away. "Mama, didju know dat fwog is croakin becums he yookin for anudder fwog to KISS?!?!? Hims wanna kiss annuder fwog reeeeeeel bad." So I said yes, that's....essentially true. Male frogs call out so they can find a mate. "Yep uh-huh I knows. An hims can kiss a boy fwog or a girl fwog, anny fwog hims wants to! We will still yuv hims no madder wot." Fwoggy Pride. 🐸🏳️‍🌈🐸

[@cmaden78]

Anyone else can identify with the poor female giraffes in their 20s? Our 20s, not theirs😂.

[@Andizu1]

Just a little correction on the mating spider pair... that is NOT a species from Malaysia but from Africa. They're a species of baboon spiders, recognizable by the pattern on the back of the abdomen. Kinda hard to tell which species exactly but it seems an Augacephalus spp. Please fact check your content.

[@a_lethe_ion]

The video is from a Malaysian user afaik

[@Andizu1]

@a_lethe_ion the user can be Malay but the spider species isn't. The markings on its abdomen classifies it as a "baboon" spider species and those only live on the African continent.

[@cimar14]

My God I love her. She is amazing. Love her way of teaching biology.

[@COLT-zr3jf]

Did anyone else notice the under belly of the female tarantula it looks so much like a mans face and he has a great set of teeth. Creepy.

[@SP-ny1fk]

I'm oddly turned on... ...I think it's the glasses.

[@Mir_Aakib]

😂😂

[@a_lethe_ion]

Well first the spider makes a little bit of tissue to ejaculate on. Then he takes it with the pedipalp bulb And for some spiders the males intentionally offer themselves as food. See the widows. In others, like wolf spiders and pisaurids give a food item as gift... and some run off with it after the act

[@annies8624]

does she have a dodo pin on the blazer??

[@BeGioBijoux]

Not tinder it looked like harassment

[@betsysipe5512]

I knew this guy who claimed he was r@ped by a dolphin, yet he had dolphin decor everywhere. I asked if it was really assault or if he was just mad that the dolphin never called him back.

[@mygirldarby]

This isn't a funny joke. You should delete it. And it doesn't make it funny to change the gender of the assault victim to a man. You originally wrote it as a woman victim, but changed it to man after I commented. It isn't funny for men to be r*ped either.

I like her but I think she’s using too much childish drama when looking at some graphic animal parts. She is supposedly an expert in her field, why then does she act so silly when she sees them doing normal things. I have to fast forward through some of her ridiculous outburst.

[@KristinHall0918]

That's how she is in all of her videos. She makes it light hearted and funny while also trying to educate and provide facts. If you prefer a more serious tone I would suggest maybe those National Geographic documentaries.

@@KristinHall0918 thank you for your suggestions, however, I prefer to watch lots of things, not just National Geographic, maybe you should focus on telling others what to do but thanks for coming to her rescue from the big bad bully, who may have indicated that she was may be just a little bit overreaching in her enthusiasm to please her audience. That was abundantly clear.

As you said you like to watch a lot of things. Plenty out there to choose from. If you don't like it move on. You can't expect a person to change their personality just because you disagree. Out of all of her videos I have watched and scrolling hundreds of comments, yours was the only one I have ever seen take issue with her responses.

@@KristinHall0918 you have absolutely no right to tell me to move on! Now you’re the bully. Why is it that you are so obsessed with someone’s comment you disagree with.? Sounds like the problems with you not with me. So you need to move on, and lighten up! Obviously, you don’t have a lot to do. You may comment under someone’s channel, but you do not have the right to tell another commentor what they should, or should not do or say. So therefore, go and Police the other commenters do not come after me I’m the wrong one for you to do that to trust me. if you don’t like what I have to say, and if you don’t like my response, that’s your problem. Everybody has an opinion, they are just like assholes, everybody has one including you. Speaking of assholes., Well, just saying.
