Speaking of cannibalism, I remember being told in school that cannibalism in nature only happens in crisis situations. But that's not nature, that's human. Cannibalism is common in nature for multiple reasons. It's important not to apply a human view of morality on nature because it can lead to misunderstanding of the truth.

Exactly. Animals don’t have the same emotions or morals as humans do. Most of their behaviors are based on survival. We shouldn’t judge them as good or evil when they’re just trying to live another day.

[@Ghostkiller__166]

That's why it's so ridiculous for people to compare us to animals, they live a completely different life than us in every way. No human being is born underneath volcanic ash and told from birth to simply "survive", every species has a code of morals and ethics that completely differ from our own, things like cannibalism and 🍇 are so widely common and accepted amongst others beings, unlike us.

So did I, but I've never been told about baby grass, what I did was manually catch each baby as it got born (and fast because I was scared the mom is gonna get to it first) and put them in a separate container. The first one I had birthed around 60. I continued to raise them and their lineage for a few more years.

It takes away the Disneyfied version of the natural world many grow up with so they can see how it actually is: beautiful, awe inspiring and even playful, but brutal, complex, and driven by a need to survive and continue one's line as well as get whatever one can out of life by whatever needs necessary.

You missed one parenting tactic in particular that can be quite brutal. The American Coot will hatch a full nest of eggs, then proceed to favor the oldest ones while leaving the youngest ones to starve. They will even go as far to kill the younger chicks because they don't want to bother feeding them. Why? Because American Coots are also brood parasites. Other coots will lay eggs in the same nest, and the parents figure that the first chick to hatch is most likely theirs since its the oldest. This is strictly decided by age as well, there was a researcher that swapped the eggs or something in a nest and they still took care of the oldest chicks first.

NGL came close a couple times. Got kept home more than once due to a handprint on my face; other places clothes can hide the bruises.

@@Post-ModernCzechoslovakianWar That was years ago fam, I'm mid 30s now lol. But no, they don't get better. Things just morph in different ways and forgiveness only leaves you open to be hurt again.

@@Undomaranel Well that sucks man. I hope you can get in a place of healing or something else needed. As cliche as that may sound. I'm don't know you, don't relate to your struggles, and I won't pretend that I will. Your life honestly sounds like it's been harder than me. I'm not jealous of what you described. I just hope you get a good W. Godspeed!

6:39 The koalas are probably too stupid to think of their own survival which explains why they don't do the "drop the kid" tactic.

I actually expected Komodo Dragons being mentioned. Because the only reason why their mother would return after neglecting her kids is for a snack.

Just to say salt water crocs have it pretty bad too, especially in some parts of Australia, like the Adelaide river. From the nest to adult hood it’s around a 99% mortality rate and the mother and father have been know to eat there young just because they feel like it

If it helps, every chick that I showed hitting the rocks survived. Most can take the fall, it’s what happens afterwards that does them in

[@crushingon]

@@mndiaye_97 i image, kinda fucked up to think they evolve SPECIFICALLY to fall from such heights. Housing crisis in the Animal Kingdom must be wild if evolving and adapting to falling for dozens of meters and hitting rock is more viable than moving out.

I love how some of the clips in this video were taken from at least 2 of the documentaries I literally just watched yesterday.
