Hardcore Wild Animal Moments Caught On Camera | REACTION | How Extra | ABC Science

[@ABCScience]

👋🏽👋🏽 Hello fellow nature nerds, we’d like to expand on the point at 06:11. Goats aren't unique in their ability to read human facial expressions. Cats, dogs and horses (to name a few) have also been observed recognising our emotions - and we’re sure many pet owners would attest to this! Sorry for the confusion.

[@annehaight9963]

I figure humans have been domesticating goats for so many millennia that we have bred them to respond to us, the way dogs do.

[@wlfrdr]

I watch any piece on animals I can. But, with Dr.Ann is my all time favorites! Please make animal information clips for every animal, reptile, insect, ect. with her explaining. Love her voice and laugh! Her insights and life experiences bring that litte extra whipped cream and cherry on top of learning. My grandbabies cheer when I put her on, and sit like statutes. We go through many books, and they would give up outside play time for Dr. Ann. We are a outside in any weather type of family but now on rainy days the grands vote for Dr. Ann. She is very special. You are very lucky getting her on your show!!!

[@ABCScience]

Thanks Mary. We love Dr Ann Jones too.

[@Catmom2004]

What a lovely post. I enjoy Dr Ann immensely myself and I am probably older than you are 😎😎😎

[@kylieknight2365]

I volunteer at the elephant sanctuary in Thailand when I visit and they might be smaller than the African elephants but they are still huge and they actually purr when you are showing them love it’s a beautiful sound and they tickle you with their trunks. They love being scrubbed in the water and definitely have fantastic memories. There is one particular old mumma elephant and every time I am there she hears my call and calls back as she runs to greet me. I help her when she had an injury and spent a lot of time caring for her and entertaining her because she couldn’t go out and had to be kept in the hospital pen so I read, sang, painted and massaged her. One of my all time favourite animals

[@sona7973]

That must of been an incredible moment, thank you for sharing! Didn't know elephants can purr ;o

[@bluelagoon1980]

You are SO lucky!

[@leekestner1554]

When my husband was a teen he was swimming at Virginia Beach and began to play with a dolphin. After about 45 minutes he got tired and turned to look shoreward and realized he was about 3/4 mile from shore. He began to swim back and the dolphin must have sensed he was tired and it came up from underneath and helped him swim into shore

[@gfear24]

The second I see Dr. Ann in a video, I immediately start smiling.

[@kyokoyumi]

20:20 Camels are actually perfectly designed for snow and tundra as that is where they originated. They were shipped to hotter climates at some point and just thrived because it's the same conditions just hot, not cold.

[@Tinyvalkyrie410]

Not true. Dromedary camels (the ones with one hump and the most common domesticated ones) come from the deserts of Africa and the Middle East. They have many biological features specifically evolved for dealing with extreme heat and lack of water. Bactrian camels are the ones with two humps, and you can tell they were evolved for the cold because they have very long shaggy fur. They are not used or naturalized in the hot desert. They are used in the Asian steppe

[@koriw1701]

As for the fainting goats, they are studied for many reasons, but in particular, they have a condition called myotonia congenita. They don't actually fall asleep, they are simply paralysed when excited, not just when they are scared. They are completely awake and aware but their muscles lock up. These goats teach medical researchers about human conditions ranging from epilepsy to narcolepsy and other atonic disorders.

[@KitsuneNeko]

They were originally created to help keep the desired goats alive in case they are attacked by something. The easier "fainting" prey would become the target but because of this "fainting" feature they have become beloved and very much desired by many goat owners.

[@thecrow30]

Interesting. Do they "faint" to give the image (maybe a predator like a wolf?) that they´re dead?

[@koriw1701]

@@KitsuneNeko interesting! Indeed, what @thecrow30 said! Don't those predators of goats *want* to predate (kill) dead animals? Are "dead" animals not considered fit for consumption?

[@EmpressOfExile206]

You guys minds are too innocent lmao The reason this condition was bred for once discovered is because if you have _very expensive and/or rare_ prized livestock that spends time free pastured on fenced in land (not inside a building/stall) then one worry is a predator might kill a $100,000 breeding stud or an incredibly rare breed! Now picture you have a small herd of 4-5 pedigreed race 🐎 on a ranch thats in mountain lion country, so you add a couple fainting goats to their pasture... A cougar leaps the fence! And your big 💵 horses run away while 2 plump & meaty 🐐's just drop to the floor in front of the cat... He now has *zero reason* to go after your horses and I'll let you picture what happens next 👍 It's actually quite the duality that they've become beloved social media stars while nobody outside a select few ranchers knows what they were initially (and some still are) intended for if they hadn't become popular pets 💯

[@Tinyvalkyrie410]

Aimed at replies, not OP The theory that these goats were bred to be a “sacrificial” goat so predators wouldn’t eat others in the herd is untrue. It was a myth created in the 1980s as a marketing ploy. Herds of goats are protected by guard animals (livestock guardian dogs, donkeys, etc) as well as their shepherds. If you know anything about the raising of livestock, you would immediately know that a fainting goat would not be a reliable deterrent. Additionally, these goats were expensive curiosities since their original breeding in the 1880s, and therefore worth more than any goat raised for dairy or meat. On top of that, every time it “worked” (which would not be a guarantee) you would have to buy or breed another very expensive goat simply for that purpose. Instead, you can have a dog that simply protects the herd. These goats have a birth defect in their muscles, and they have always been sold simply as a novelty. Originally, they were advertised as being good meat goats because they couldn’t jump, and therefore would be easier to keep in a pen, but there is no evidence that they were actually used this way. As the OP mentioned, the main purpose of these animals has been for medical testing and as a fun, weird, trendy animal to show off to friends.

When I was around three months pregnant, we were in the Florida Keys and I swam in the ocean with wild dolphins. It was at a dolphin research center in the mid Keys. I had one female approach and stay next to me and then several more surrounded me. I could feel their sonar and it was intense, but not painful, just really cool, and they all allowed me to touch them. I have no doubt that they knew I was pregnant! It was safe and I had an absolutely incredible experience. ❤🐬 Thank you for your wonderful videos, I just found you yesterday! 🎉😊

[@ABCScience]

What a story! 😍

[@sabinemagpie]

@@ABCScience Zaaaap! 🥰 Thanks! It really was. When my daughter was around five, we were in Waikoloa Village Hawaii and she swam in a pond with dolphins she said they feel like wet bananas! I don't know if any places do that anymore, but if you're anywhere that does it, I highly recommend! They're normally wild but some places aren't. I'm so glad I discovered you! 😀

[@sabinemagpie]

@@ABCScience That was 1992 I think.

[@Seashells-yr8dq]

@sabinemagpie Were you at the Dolphin Research Center in Marathon? I did an internship there in '92 and I remember a story of a woman who had one approach her during a dolphin swim and focused on her stomach. The dolphin moved her rostrum in little circles right in front of her belly, so the handler asked if she was pregnant. She said no, and her husband joked "better not be" and everyone laughed and that was that. Not long after, she called the DRC and said she found out she was pregnant. The dolphin diagnosed her first! 😂

[@sabinemagpie]

@@Seashells-yr8dq yes, Duck Key! I'm not the lady in the story though. I was about three months along. These were wild dolphins and an exceptional life experience ❤️ thanks for asking!

[@jerelsalazar7959]

The doctor has the most wonderful laugh in the world, such honesty and joy in her laughter, and she exudes good beneficial energy. You have IT, doc!

26:40 reminds of crows here in germany, you can often see crows waiting for a traffic light to go red, and then placing something like a nut or so in front of the waiting cars, so that they drove over and thus crack the nut, the crow then comes back the next time the traffic light is red and picks it up to eat ^^

[@farrahlipsham5533]

Nothing better than watching someone with so much knowledge ENJOYING what they speak about. Infectious passion.

[@erictaylor5462]

My mother was on a Hobby Cat off of Point Reyes. The wind was calm and the sea flat and mom was laying on one of the pontoons letter her fingers drag in the water. A dolphin put it's head out of the water and whistled at her. It even let her give it a little rub. Then she playfully splashed it with her hand. The dolphin splashed her back with its fluke. It was like having a 5 gallon bucket dumped on her head. The dolphin popped back up and made noises my mother was sure was equal to laughing.

[@lucyleptonyx5858]

Im OBSESSED with the colors of the Kea! So impressed by the blues and greens of its back and then when it flapped and there was just VIVID RED?!? I LOVE THEM

[@marthawolfsen5809]

I read about scientists seeing bottle nosed dolphins form a group, force a school of fish up against the shore, and then dive right into the school for an easy meal. I wanted so much to see that but thought I never could go on an expedition to see something so exotic. Then one evening, sitting on a sailboat in the harbor by downtown Charleston, South Carolina, having drinks with friends, we realized there were dolphins grouping by the shore. I saw the whole thing, the dolphins herding the fish and diving into the school, coming up with a mouthful of fish. And without so much as the ice in my drink melting!

[@anotherfellasaiditsnunya]

I'm sorry I am not allowed the extra moment to send a 'thumbs up' between streaming all the animal episodes for my family! It is that important to cast the next episode immediately! Please keep up the great work - we love it!

[@ABCScience]

Love this! Thank you.

[@rickwrites2612]

"A washing-machine of dolphins". That's the new term for a group larger than a pod.

[@Elizabeth-cc3hi]

The washing machine effect is probably the result of the sardine run which happens along the KwaZulu-Natal coast between May and July - the sardines spawn and travel up the coast and people and animals go wild catching as many as they can. Looks like the dolphins are having a blast 🐬

[@Flo1918]

Ann is adorable when she's showing us all those different animals

[@EzraHarkness8254]

Kiwi here, I once found a Kea taking a nap in a turned over road cone on the roadside. From the carnage picked off car parts in front of it, it had a busy day.

I'd be a lot more afraid of a leopard seal than an orca.

[@Beth_Alice_Kaplan]

I’m with you on that point.

[@GinaWelsh]

They are apparently quite placid with humans and you can swim with them.

[@EmpressOfExile206]

Do you think leopard seals are placid or Orcas? 🤔 Because people come in contact with Orcas *all the time* and *zero* ppl have been killed by wild Orcas👍 Only a handful of people have _even seen_ a wild leopard seal in comparison (they live in Antarctica) yet 2 research divers have been killed by them while conducting scientific studies in antarctic waters 💯

[@lilinthia]

Leopard seals have been proven to be surprisingly friendly with humans. There's actually a really cool Ted talk by a wildlife photography who went to photograph them at the height of them being portrayed as super dangerous. In short one seal decided he was her idiot child who didn't know how to hunt and kept him safe, trying to feed him penguins every day he was there

[@lostrau]

growing up in south africa, a lot of my holidays growing up were at kruger national park and the like. when my mom my pregnant with me, her and my dad went on a game drive and they ended up being chased by an elephant. it was probably a momma ellie that got spooked, but my parents said it was terrifying but also incredible - all the strength and community. i love our wildlife here.

Also, I'm so happy to see Orca in blue waters that makem so much more visible. Having experienced them only in the San Juan Islands (above Washington State, U.S.) where the waters appear quite dark, which mostly hides them due to their black backs. And, I haven't known them referred to as Dolphins even! Only Orca Whales, or "Killer" Whales. Mostly I could only hear them slap the water...thanks again!

I've been to Morocco and was told by a local Moroccan to not photograph the tree/goats or pay the locals guarding the trees that the goats 'climb' because it's a tourist trick. The goats get placed in the trees and tied on with fishing line so they can't get down. Sadly exploited and left in the trees all day until taken down and taken home at the end of each day.

I have sailed across the pacific and indian oceans a couple times. Twice we came across these massive fusion societies and it was amazing to be in the middle of. We were on a ship steaming at around 18-20 knots and the dolphins were swimming in and surfing our wake. The first time they stuck around for a good 45 minutes...it was very very cool. All you could see all around was thousands of dolphins swimming and jumping out of the water. We were literally in the middle of the pacific ocean the first time. The second time it happened we were around the Seychelles.

[@KitsuneNeko]

Camels have weird blood too. Normally mammalian blood has this concave feature to help oxygen travel through the body. Camel blood does not have this so they can store more "water" and look more like rice grains in their shape. It's easy to tell the camels apart too. D

[@tinafry1740]

I've read that it's the red blood cells that are different in camels, and llamas too, apparently

I also find Orcas absolutely terrifying. The way they hunt is so ruthless.

[@Tman001100]

Elephants are definitely my favorite of this episode. They're just such intelligent and social animals and their penchant for having really good memories is I think partially why they tend to get on with humans well. I hope that poaching of them in certain countries, largely in Africa can be stopped entirely someday.
