Prehistoric Creature FOUND ALIVE! (Trilobite Beetle)

[@rich1051414]

Benzaldehyde is the smell. It should smell poisononous, because it's a smell associated with cyanide, but because fruit started making it, we humans like the smell now. Benzaldehyde is also called 'almond oil'. It smells like artificial cherry flavoring.

Hi

Early

[@AceofSpade-1]

Brave wilderness isn’t just about getting stung, it’s sad that people don’t appreciate these videos as much.

[@penguinagents2015]

Agreed. The unfortunate fact is that most people value entertainment over education.

[@mkfan6167]

Because they aren’t what they use to be, especially since Cyote is no longer in them

[@Settiis]

But many people still appreciate these videos too and that’s all what matters

[@Real_AnimA]

The people who only watch these for the stings and bites, are the equivalent of people who only pick up a book to look at the pictures.

[@Weylane]

It's also about getting pooped on by weird critters hahahahha

[@BraveWilderness]

My favorite creature we have found yet! Tell me what you think of it, best comment gets pinned! -Mark

[@playersaurus9923]

5:29 That smell is either the jungle or the millipedes ultimate defense, *Cyanide* you see, some millipede species can produce cyanide that smells kind of like cherries or other fruit, the cyanide can or can’t be harmful to you depending on the species we are dealing with.

[@supernerd8067]

Cherry pits do contain cyanide if I am not mistaken, so it makes sense.

[@UndeadJohnGaming]

Benzaldehyde I think in the videos specific case.

[@melwinder1]

I was more wondering maybe if it's trying to defend against carnivorous type "predators" emitting a sweet smell will deter it from eating it??? That was my random assumption, I may be wrong though

[@shmooters5599]

@@melwinder1I would assume that it’s not necessarily the “sweetness” of the smell that deters them, but what it represents. As other comments have brought up, it has to do with a chemical tht is found in both cyanide as well as some fruits. Humans eat fruits and so with time we’ve learned to associate it as a good rather than a bad smell. Carnivores most likely will smell it and get warning signals similar to us smelling rotten food, as it will be more associated with cyanide which is incredibly dangerous for them.

[@Victorseafog]

I bought almonds that smelled like this , they tasted bitter like cherries. They were bad. Cyanide.

[@littlemeap7418]

Bro imagine being some random millipede, chilling, eating leaves, and one day being picked up and touched by some hairless ape

[@itzmeno4h]

Apes are more intelligent than humans humans are some of the most unintelligent people on earth depending on who it is

[@Disgruntled_laundry_fold-wl6jp]

so it starts musking to make itself smell like delicious fruits and pastries.

I’m so glad that you’re willing to go after creatures that are possibly unknown or not the most recognizable or the most trendy cuz I found this creature absolutely fascinating and I never would’ve known about it if you didn’t make this video.

[@jenn1234]

Mark, that beetle was quite scary looking until it was crawling around on your hand and it could see its tiny head and even tinier eyes. She is a very strange beetle and I could see her as a character on Star Wars…lol. I love your enthusiasm when you find different animals and tell us about them! I am glad it is not just all about being stung. Thank you for an amazing video and take care!!! 😄💙🐬🐍🐊🫶🏼

[@Wristcvtzzzz]

EARLY! Watching these videos makes me so happy. I've been watchingever since i was a kid. Im suffering from severe depression and have been SA'd, and i love nature, so just seeing these make me super duper happy and make me smile. Learning about these different types of creatures fascinates me.

[@yusefdoodie]

Hope you're doing okay, wherever you are in the world. I'd highly suggest starting small trips to explore near wherever you live if it's safe! Even if it's a park bench to start! Wishing you well ❤

[@johnsonteo7268]

I actually accidentally came across a trilobite beetle and the armored millipede few years back in Kuantan, Malaysia. Didn't know what it was, as it look so alien-ny, and the millipede indeed smell kinda sweet when im poking it

[@Philtopy]

that sweet smell is cyanide according to comments here.

[@thomasshelby1262]

I love the educational aspect of this video, sting videos got its place, but I'd prefer this type of videos more tbh. Also, what a beautiful creature!

[@OvertakeGT]

I agree, one of Mark’s other videos showcasing the Bobbit worm was fascinating to watch.

[@elizabethdunn843]

Wow that’s a crazy looking beetle good find guys, fun video!

[@ilovecats4705]

That armored millipede was so awesome. Really nice seeing how friendly it is. That was cool that it gave a very sweet odor smell. I never seen an insect that could give good orders. I wish I could have real experience with the small. I may not be correct for the reason of this type of body order, but my big guess is there could be certain predators that may not like his odor. That trilobite beetle was pretty cool too. I never seen a beetle with this kind of body shape before. I really loved the colors of it. That red was what brought it out. I can't believe how tiny its head is. The face was really cute looking. I can easily see its really cute eyes. I even saw its mouth pretty good. I really love how safe and friendly it is.

[@PixiePrincess501]

I find it so odd that I can't handle the sight of centipedes, but millipedes don't bother me at all. Actually, that armored one Mark caught is actually pretty cool! (Also, I'd never handle a millipede since the ones where I live tend to stink pretty bad ^_^0 ) I believe the smell is to ward off predators. The smell is a musk that also is supposed to taste fowl. I've seen both cats and birds spit one out if they're foolish enough to catch one! Also, I've never seen a trilobite beetle before! It really does look like a fossil! Awesome!👍

Fact about millipedes: most of all millipedes are not true millipedes. In Western Australia (Goldfields-Esperance Region) We recently discovered (2020) the first true millipede with over 1000 legs (located 200 feet under the surface) I’m hoping that this information will help many in the future! Ps! This information also applies to Centipedes!
