I SAID I UNSUBBED FROM YOUR CHANNEL FOR YOUR COMMENT 8:14

[@MayTheSchwartzBeWithYou]

@@JaMeshuggah What, you’re offended by history? Get thicker skin and quit being so insecure.

[@ryueldragonborn4145]

That lone call is haunting like a refusal to accept the extinction of your species but a power beyond your understanding has decided otherwise

[@druggeddragon420]

You might like a comic called Stray, it’s about tiny mammals experiencing a form of dramatic irony and cosmic horror due to human activity

[@jakebeach8308]

I think it's important to remember that the animals in the wild likely aren't aware of their loneliness. That bird was probably just having a fine day, and happened to be recorded. What we project onto it, via romance, guilt, and regret, is the important take away. That thylacine in the zoo wasn't any lonelier than any other animal kept in captivity away from others. But we know what it means, and that imbues greater importance and significance for us. Hopefully, to learn from, but historically, to be ignored.

[@AncientWildTV]

@@jakebeach8308 do you think we can better balance our interpretations of animal emotions with objective measures of their well-being to improve standards for animals in captivity?

[@jakebeach8308]

@@AncientWildTV probably! Not sure how we'd go about that in most cases. I do assume that, unless that animal in particular is in threat of being destroyed or harmed if left in the wild, then it is always better to just leave them in the wild. But if they're already in captivity, we should do what we can to give plenty of room, and access to all the things their natural habitat can provide, and monitor their behavior very closely, adapting treatment to behavior changes, and seeking input from experts on those animals. Which is a huge undertaking, but is what I personally believe is the most responsible thing if we've put them in captivity.

[@StopMotionDryptosaurus]

The endling Kaui I o o mating call is heartbreaking.

[@davidegaruti2582]

it's likely one of the saddest songs of all times , and the fact it got recorded kinda makes it more powerful ... that is real , it's not someone jerking tears , it's an innocent bird trying to find some normality in his lonely life and failing ...

being someone born in australia it always makes me really sad being able to see that footage, knowing i'll never actually get to see a thylacine in real life.

[@mayrahemmerechts5867]

@@Frimplus Don’t be so sure of that, there are efforts to bring it back and some would argue it never went extinct to begin with (even on the mainland) and even if it is it might still exist on New Guinea

[@Frimplus]

@@mayrahemmerechts5867 i like the optimism but personally i don't think it's around any more i'm sure there would have been signs by now

[@mayrahemmerechts5867]

@@Frimplus There have been signs all over that are either being dismissed or ignored like scat, hair and paw prints but the Tasmanian government’s is super sketchy because of their deals with the lumber cutters and stuff. On New Guinea the locals say they’ve seen the thylacine, they’ve seen abandoned joeys and caught and ate an adult specimen that was attacking people. You might wonder why non of the locals were seen wearing or displaying its skins, I think they actually are wearing the skins but the stripes have completely faded as we know from museum specimens that the stripes fade over time and that’s in a museum where they are kept in the best conditions so who knows how much sunlight, heat, humidity and rain can accelerate that process

[@ewaszot1243]

Kauai oo is not only an endling of a species but a whole genus

[@TheBudgetMuseum]

Very true! I could've gone into much greater detail about them and their extinction.

[@kotarojujo2737]

[@annarboriter]

@@TheBudgetMuseum *should've

[@mikamekaze]

The demonization of western wolves as compared to the admiration and worship of Honshu wolves and the relation to livestock is fascinating. Domestic meat wasn't common in the diets of Japanese people for centuries, so the keeping of livestock was uncommon outside of working animals, so the threat of losing sheep or cattle to wolf attacks wasn't present in Japanese culture. A perspective I never considered until now, but it's so obvious in retrospect!

[@Shnarfbird]

It was mostly wild-caught seafood as far as meat came, right? And pretty much still is.

[@ArdaSReal]

But what about nomad cultures like Turkic culture? They relied heavily on meat and livestocks, their whole life was basically being shepards yet the wolf is not only respected and admired, Turkic mythology literally says that Turks are part wolf. Maybe there are less wolves on the steppes or maybe, because of moving around all the time, nomads didnt deal much with wolves in negative ways?

[@midgetman4206]

​@@ArdaSRealMaybe because they were nomadic, they understood the wolves a little better. That understanding brought about respect. If you never have to move, then you never have anything else to care about besides what directly effects you. One is experienced in a larger picture, the other is willfully ignorant to the outside world. Even now, most of us reflect the latter since we don't have to do more than the little we are required.

[@takenname8053]

No better way to start your morning than with the realization that you will never experience seeing these animals ever again...

The Kauai ō’ō call is just haunting to listen to. Even more haunting for the bird since he’s calling out to the dead, which he’d soon join

[@Bipolar.Baddie]

I do take a bit of solace in knowing that he was more than likely biologically incapable of understanding just how heartbreaking his situation was. He was probably experiencing stress due to an inability to find it's mate or interact with any of it's other species but he probably didnt experience the deep, existential sadness that we feel when hearing his calls.

[@viridiantheforest1037]

I feel like that unending loneliness and confusion of not knowing why, would be far worse. Ofc I might be anthropmorphizing

[@jettwuzhere]

the loss of the thylacine will forever make me angry. we could've had it all

[@vic0036]

The saddest thing about the thylacine is that a family kept one as a pet and said it was really good with the children and liked to play with a ball of wool, like a cat

[@LB-uo7xy]

They literally are similar to foxes in that way.

[@SlapstickGenius23]

Aww, poor thylacines! They’re all gone now.

[@diongibbs312]

Relic population of Thylacine could be out there. Barbary Lion exist in private zoos but to what percentages is not known. When it comes to extinción with us playing a significant or only role in it. Providing it's territory still exists, we should try and revive.

[@stevenschnepp576]

At this point, it's not a question of if, it's a question of when for the mammoth, and probably the thylacine and dodo.

[@bumblebabble18]

I can’t tell which line I like better “All that remains now of the wolf, the mighty upland spirit of Japan, is just that, the spirit of a protective beast that once was.” Or “This song you are hearing is presumably the harmony of the species endling. It is the mating call of a male, calling out to a companion that would never answer.”

[@karmradit]

the Kauaʻi ʻōʻō endling call was so powerful. sometimes I think as biology nerds we need to rename our passion to necrology. the study of life today cannot be separated from the study of the ongoing global mass extinction event humans are driving. othertimes I'm less hopeless, and I think about it more as pathology, studying how things are going wrong, how ecosystems are getting sicker. total biome death is not inevitable, we can stop and change direction. but haunting recordings like that mating call are stark reminders of the consequences of our actions. thank you for making these videos, I'm excited to see your new channel, amd have already subscribed.

[@noahbrown4388]

No we can't stop and change direction. Nature will do that for us. We are in overshoot massively on a global scale

[@juiceweezer]

Damn man, the birdsong over the outro was heartbreaking. Fantastic work!

[@beastmaster0934]

6:18 Another branch of these megafaunal wolves (also known as Beringian wolves), migrated into North America and gave rise to the endangered Mexican wolves and extinct Great Plains wolf. And there’s a theory that it was these wolves that ancient humans domesticated, giving rise to the modern domestic dogs.

[@TheBudgetMuseum]

I had no idea about the connection between Beringian wolves and Lobos! Awesome stuff!

[@jonfro-mez]

I know they are all more than likely extinct but part of me still believes (or at least wants to believe) that small populations are out there.

[@MeanBeanComedy]

Same. I'll never give up hope.

There's no way I'm gonna give up on a potential Thylacine. I just can't. It's too sad to think of a world without one somewhere.

[@glopple]

@@ieatalgae yeah they’re doing mammoths, thylacine and dodo birds

The worst part about the thylacine endling is that it died due to neglect from being left outside in the cold where it froze to death

But on the plus side, we're working on bringing it back.

[@notoriousbigmoai1125]

There were other species of Japanese wolves on Hokkaido island called Hokkaido Wolf or Ezo Wolf, and they lived as far as Sakhalin island in Russia, but they sadly also went extinct.

[@firstcynic92]

Steller's Sea Cow is the only mammal I know of that didn't have hands. Its arms end with the radius & ulna bones.

[@terribleivan1475]

Something I’ve noticed over the years is that traditions never spring up out of nowhere. Wolves had a bad reputation in history for the same reason they’re going to have a bad reputation as their populations recover and they begin stalking/killing livestock AND humans again. In places like Siberia where wolves never declined to the same extent as in Western Europe and the Americas, the prevalence of active predation on humans by wolves also never declined to that same extent. It is deadly foolish to assume our ancestors were merely ignorant or outright evil in their dealings with the natural world. Instead, we should recognize that it is us who are totally insulated from nature and who overwhelmingly have no firsthand experience with hardship that isn’t manmade.

[@elishafollet5347]

I think we're better off just leaving the wolf's dead and replacing them as the natural predators of that area.

[@louissteyn6871]

I'm reminded of the stories of the wolf siege of Paris, not a fun story for those people who where hunted on those cold winters

Congrats on the new channel, I will definitely check it out. (Though I hope this channel will still have content.) Though I just wanted to say, please don't give up on the comedic aspect of your writing. While it is certainly still good even without it, and certain videos like this one are better off without too much of it, the comedy is what made me originally subscribe to this channel and kept me coming back. You can be "can't breathe and tears" levels of funny when you want to be, like the video on "Bad Cryptids" is legit one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Granted, I know it's not always something you can just turn on like a switch, but I've noticed a general trend with videos lately moving away from that aspect. Anyways, I just hope you don't give up on it as it makes your stuff really special.

Aloha from the island of Hawai'i, also known as the Big Island. I work in conservation and mostly do survey/monitoring for rare plants and invasive species control. Thank you for raising awareness about the Kaua'i 'ō'ō. The hawaiian islands bear the sad moniker of "extinction capital of the world". Some of the 'ō'ō's relatives still live today thankfully-- other honeycreepers which belong to one of the most diverse and fascinating radiations of animal on earth. Our ecosystems are historically so isolated and specified that the introduction of certain foreign plant and animal species, pathogens, as well as the absence of very key plant and animal species puts us in a very uncertain place. On Kaua'i, several very rare honeycreepers face extinction. I believe there are roughly 5 (?) akikiki known to be left, a grey honeycreeper. It may go extinct as soon as next year. Extinction here is very real and very tragic, the akikiki is far from the last taxon of animal or plant very narrowly threatened with extinction. I feel lucky to get to work with some of the rarest of rare plants, though that definitely comes at a price paid for by peace of mind. I'm reminded of an Aldo Leopold quote that went something like "to have an environmental education is to live in a world of wounds". I remain hopeful that we can halt the uncertain freefall that our native ecosystems are in right now, while raising far more awareness and appreciation for our ecosystems, the likes of which quite literally cant be found anywhere else. The way humans as a species are looking at issues like this is the equivalent of seeing the Louvre on fire and ignoring it. We're somehow too smart and industrious as well as narrow-minded for our own good. I'm optimistic that humanity is slowly becoming more ecologically aware. Recently, the hawaiian crow or 'alalā was just rereleased on Maui. The ecological situation is dire, but i have hope in us having some very industrious and intelligent people rising to the occasion
