Hi Everyone! Just a quick comment on the breeding site maps: after checking the locations of the breeding sites for each species against multiple sources, I found some of the maps on Wikipedia to be inaccurate/possibly outdated so where the locations differ, I have provided the source in the top right hand corner. Just thought I would mention it in case you’re looking on Wikipedia and wondering why a few of them are different!

[@tennesseeempire2892]

Day 2 of asking for all lagomorphs

[@lourias]

You taught me a lot about penguins. Please be consistent with your units of measurement. Either all Emperical, all Metric, or consistently use both for every measurement. Switching back and forth is not professional, and makes it harder for those learning new information.

[@urrywest]

Where are the mouth features that you adviertised as common to all penguins

[@rockjockchick]

Thank you

[@rockjockchick]

@@lourias both are clearly labeled on every species. I don’t think it’s really an issue.

[@peterjones819]

A video on all the pinnipeds (seals, sea lions, fur seals and walrus) would be really cool!

[@asjeje]

I completely agree

[@fennten8338]

dumb, theres 17 or 19 penguin species and 33 pinnipeds half of which are basically the same

[@billyr2904]

And the last group of carnivorans you haven't discussed.

[@awesomeocelot7475]

Yeah it would be really cool

[@whyareyoureadingmynickname8158]

Good video, but you forgot one species - Madagascar penguin. They live in small groups (up to 4), are the only penguin species that can use all kinds of tools and are known for having very strict, almost militaristic, hierarchy. They are highly intelligent and there are even records of them hijacking entire ships from people! Anyway, now that you mentioned porpoising, have you planned to cover cetaceans in the future?

[@BlinkCatBee]

Lol

[@IvJo]

Really don't know how he could miss the most popular and well-known penguin species smh

I got the reference

[@therewasoldcringe]

they seem to be a melanistic cousin of fairy penguin, since they're so small

[@spideyfanw1748]

@@therewasoldcringe I always thought they were gentoo penguins since gentoo’s have orange feet and beaks like they do. Although they don’t have the white patch of feathers across their head.

Nice video man. your narrating style in this one felt more natural. really liked it. looking forward to the next one

[@TheECSH]

Perfect timing, as i just got back from a trip to South America and Antarctica, and had the privilege to see four species of penguins. They are amazing creatures. Thanks for the contents!

Wow, this was very good. I’ve seen the little penguins at perth zoo, they’re adorable!

[@mikeydashank3897]

Since you went aquatic so many options now exist for future videos. I would enjoy dolphins, toothed whales or baleen whales.

Never knew pinguins could swim that deep... thats insane

Love African penguins, I got to work with them recently it was amazing

[@Engifarting456]

Humboldt penguins are literally the penguin species in every single zoo

[@smentina]

Wait a minute "The Imperial Pinguin is the deepest diver and reaches 1800 ft depth..." That is impossible! 180 ft looks more realistic, no?

[@BellumCarroll]

Crazy as it sounds, it is true. And over half an hour underwater on one breath. But these are the extremes, they don’t usually go that deep.

[@titanofserpents4315]

I saw a few Galapagos Penguins when I visited the Galapagos islands over the summer.

Love that the donkey penguin is a thing and must've been a challenge not laughing narrating

[@nilanjanachatterjee9023]

Excellent video 😊

[@billyr2904]

I initially wanted you to make 5 videos on rodents, but now I came up with 2 more videos, simply because rodents are so diverse. (You could upload these from the most basal group to the least basal or the other way around (it's your choice)) 1st video:- overview on the rodent order: what they have in common, how they relate to one another and when they evolved. 2nd video:- Sciuromorpha: squirrels, dormice and mountain beaver. 3rd video:- hystricomorpha: porcupines, cavies, naked mole-rat, chinchillas, coypu and others in this suborder. 4th video:- Castorimorpha: beavers, gophers and kangaroo mice. 5th video:- Anomalomorpha and Myomorphs not in the families cricetidae and Muridae: springhares, scalytails, jerboas, oriental dormice, spalacids, mouse-like hamsters and nesomyids. 6th video:- cricetidae: hamsters, lemmings, voles, muskrats and new world rats and mice. 7th video:- Muridae: old world rats and mice, as well as gerbils.

[@Ryodraco]

Penguins have to be some of the most antisocial colony birds in the world (with their nests constructed to be just out of range of the next penguin's beak when on their nest). The yellow eye just embraces this more. ^_^

[@nicbro3831]

I just realized the killer whales have the same kind of protective coloring.. which implies there was or is a natural predator for killer whales 😳

[@theflyingdutchguy9870]

its a very common thing for oceanic creatures. and all whales came from a smaller ancestor so they could have inherented it from smaller ancestors. but there also used to be many more species and orca's where probably hunted by multiple.

[@vernonfridy8416]

Countershading also works the other way around; it can help predators avoid detection by their prey.
