Scientists explain Monster Hunter | Part 2

[@Oceaniz]

Lmao as some of you have pointed out, the Koala image at 9:49 is obviously misplaced, since they arent carnivores No clue what I did there, brainfart.mp4 i guess :3

[@antoineleblanc9765]

what do you mean, everybody knows dropbears are obligate carnivores ! which is why they can be so dangerous.

[@JurassicDaikaiju]

Everyone has those, no biggie

[@badazzkaz]

@@antoineleblanc9765dangerous critters they are

[@Dr.J42]

That is clearly an evil drop bear I don’t know what you mean

[@sirenlover100]

It's worth mentioning that in Generations Ultimate breaking Gypceros' crest creates a shiny drop that (depending on whether it a low, high, or G rank) is a light, nova, or pure crystal. This also disables its ability to flash

[@TheVictor126]

Kobayashi really did nailed the brachydios part... well, partially what he talked about brachydios slime being a selection factor, and it being used for sexual display is *exactly* the lore of raging brachydios. raging brachy instead of using the regular slime, forms a symbiotic relationship with the flashpoint slime, which is much more unstable and explosive than the regular one. This causes a selection where only the most powerful individuals survive, hence raging brachy is bigger than the regular one, it also causes the shell of brachydios to grow thicker to resist the explosions and turn emerald green. This turning of the shell is also what causes brachydios to seek the flashpoint slime in the first place, as it is used as a form of sexual display over the regular brachys

[@Hooy-H00y]

OHHHH so that's where the "Enough Foreplay, Let's Tango" line went

[@JurassicDaikaiju]

Fumihito Muto's theory about gravity zones from part 1 was the final piece I needed to formulate my personal head cannon: The presence of bio-energy is what enables monsters to evolve features which would be too biologically expensive otherwise (elemental organs, etc.), while said gravity zones not only enables them to grow so large, but allows them to do so without sacrificing speed & agility It's also possible that monsters like Amatsu & Yama Tsukami (did I spell that right?) have developed some way to harness both factors in order to fly via levitation I stress that this is just a head cannon though

[@Fatalis517]

Considering that we have seen in World that creatures like the Xeno'jiva abd Safi'jiva can absorb and feed on the bio energy, it isnt too far of that other species may have too developed this capability, although on a much smaller scale

[@JurassicDaikaiju]

@@Fatalis517 The weird gravity also explains how guys like Zinogre can jump around the way they do & how something as big as Safi can fly Seriously, have you seen the size comparisons made by TeaCommonShark?

[@TheGreatCraigWyvern]

@@JurassicDaikaijuI’m surprised is how fucking massive Plesioth is

[@legomaster2538]

The observations about Kushala’s lungs creating cold air help explains (at least to me) why they’re classified as an *ice* monster.

[@RG-sz4ni]

I do have one theory of my own about Teostra and Lunastra in monster hunter world, we can see nergigante become very determined to go after the two elder dragons, well, it is known to hunt elder dragons, and use them as its main sustenance more than likely nergigante knows hunting two at once must be a great risk even with its own extreme regeneration. so the reward must be worth the risk my best guess is during their mating period Teostra and Lunastra must lower their temperatures to a significant enough degree to where procreation is safe. This could be why nergigante is so adamant about hunting the two it knows they are in a vulnerable state.

[@TheSilversepiroth]

The trombone analog may not work for Diablos, but there's another "instrument" that _could._ While a bit of a biological stretch, the horns being positioned where they are & how they are could potentially allow them to resonate with the roar to make them like giant, organic tuning forks

[@AngelPerez-tu1nk]

I seriously do not get tired of stuff like this. The pseudo-evolutionary realism of Monster Hunter is one of the reasons I love the series and actual scientists being fascinated by it's monsters is the icing on the cake

[@darthnius809]

I really like these videos, would love to have one for the third book. My favourite takeaway were that cephalos are basically clown fish and the exploration of how dragons would have sex. EnoughForeplayLetsTango/10

[@pastamasta6873]

8:35 ok but what if it was the lower horns? They dont break at all and they could have multiple air pockets inside maybe causing the same effect?

[@dantorio367]

I have never considered the brachydios species to so heavily emphasise sex

[@randomgruntgaming6520]

With how brutal he is in combat and with the existence of the Raging Brachy being almost twice as big i think it is weirdly fitting and accurate.

[@TheVictor126]

funnily enough, that's exactly the reason why raging brachy even exist in the first place

[@JurassicDaikaiju]

Doesn't surprise me, I've always thought Brachy's horn & pounders look kinda... phalic

[@kysergamer]

Maybe the Guildmarm knew more about Brachydios than we thought

[@nescafeine3063]

It's always so cool to see them trying to flesh out more monster lore while learning real life features of animals in the process!

[@BaronSterling]

Huge Ceadeus fan here, so I'm unfortunately gonna have to step in and dismiss some of Ishigaki's theorizing here with established in-game knowledge. For one, we know Ceadeus still have regular young, specifically because Nakarkos is known to feed on them. And we know the young are much smaller and weaker than adult Ceadeus, because adult Ceadeus reverse this predation and start preying on Nakarkos themselves. Secondly, it's very unlikely that Ceadeus's beard is a modified Frilled Shark frill or a mass of external gills - because we know Ceadeus is an air-breathing creature that does not have gills. Their need for air is the reason they're known to very rarely surface. Though they are able to stay down in the depths for months, they do need to breathe air. Lastly, a fun bit of info that was left out of this video - the reason Ceadeus is able to stay down underwater for such a long time without surfacing for air. On top of producing bioluminescence, the algae that Ceadeus cultivates in its beard also produces oxygen, as most plants do. The Ceadeus uses this oxygen to top off its air supply, and thus only have to surface when its oxygen needs surpass both its massive lungs' supply and the output of the algae.

[@MyNameisGon]

I FUCKING LOVE SCIENCE

[@lordgrub12345]

As Jesse said "YEAH, science bitch!"

[@_Yoooni_]

And ACUTAL since Fiction!!!!

[@hiunguyen3664]

Same

[@dentek-fy3pr]

BILL NYE THE SCIENCE GUY!!!

[@devonhaye7541]

SAME, W SCIENCE 🗣💯💯💯

[@howlingbeast3x6]

That baby brachydios was way cuter than I expected

[@mattiaberti9160]

My boi Cephadrome became my girl. True queen!

[@alexciesielski1840]

I can’t wait for the ecology of monster hunter the 3rd generation. I believe the games were portable 3rd, tri, and 3 ultimate. Which we got a lot of monsters like the introduction of fanged wyverns, leviathans, and brute wyverns

[@henrireno8209]

Man the cephadrome section is really interesting

[@FoolishSamuraiWarrior]

Oh my god the baby brachy at 15:40

[@spookyfrogs1874]

oh hell yeah brother it's a long one, dad has returned with the MILK

[@zachrodan7543]

9:49 ah yes. The koala. Famously carnivorous... oh wait... nope... they almost exclusively eat eucalyptus leaves... despite very clearly looking like predators, what with the front-facing eyes among other things...

[@pastamasta6873]

YESSSSS IM EARLY FOR ONCE!!! I LOVE THIS GAME AND THESE SERIES SO MUCH!!! PLEASE CONTINUE THE GREAT WORK!!!

[@bryce4625]

Thank you oceanz so much, you've genuinely helped me get over my problems with sleeping at night with you videos, I feel like I'm actually sitting here immersed in the words and your voice and the way you deliver the ecology makes me feel at ease 💜

[@U-235cereal]

Part 2? That’s cool idk what else to say really

[@ArtDumbster]

Now that you mentioned triceratops, you know what would be cool? A blos crossbreed with three horns

[@stabfenn2960]

Muto's stuff on the plesioth and cephadrome is great, easily my favorite part of the video hearing the idea of cephalos competing to femanize themselves into a cephadrome

[@garchamps]

It is now my headcanon that Cephadrome is the trans icon we all need. Thank you Oceaniz and Muto-san. She transitioned so hard that she made it into a competition that she's winning.

[@randomgruntgaming6520]

Really funny to me that the cephadrome is formed by a competition of who Slays and Serves better in the pack of cephalos.

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

ITS Finally HERE! LET'S GO 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@samuelgoncalves766]

He is back, we have been bleassed Now he rest for a few months (Hopefully Oceamiz will bring the 3 generation)

[@NovaGirl8]

Lol'd at the Khezu reaction

[@h3llb3nd3r]

King Dong Himself

[@celestemackaill6375]

Didnt know the brachydios were basically stand users. Good to know

[@someguy4611]

Love it when smart people talk about fiction. Really makes you think on if these type of places can exist.

[@wizardlylizards3409]

Namielle sounds very similar to the speculated mechanics of Chameleos' invisiability. I can only assume that the MH team took some direct inspiration there.

[@misper7827]

I love both documentaries AND monster hunter. This is hot stuff for my brain. Meep it up Hunter!

[@polymagereco]

that cephalos theory is so cool wtf

[@ailingstar8856]

What I'm getting from this is that we should get a Remodrome someday.

[@crimsonflare9362]

seregios was always my favorite wyvern to hunt. the bleed was annoying but fun.

[@uchophamxuan6515]

26:31 u better give us a hybrid between Yian and Yian Kutzuku Capcom

[@Dualbladedscorpion7737]

To be honest here the Cephadrome being the only female while the rest of the Cephalos pack being males actually caught me off guard here.

[@thetruefirelord2248]

When a pink rathian meets a blue kukku...

[@christopherbronson3275]

Why wouldn't Khezu just use electromagnetic fields like a sharks ampullae of lorenzini? Electromag fields would be just as quick if not faster, work in tandem with it's ability to shock and zap too

[@DenAnimatics]

Yes, I must see what they have to say about Bazinga-carpet-bomber-goose

[@nahruz.w3044]

I was trying to watch only a section of this video for a time, but I cant stop after the first 5 min !😂 Yeah Science!

[@silver057]

2:33 Funnily enough, tigers have spots on the back of their ears which *might* function as a deterrent for potential predators.

[@1kili2]

id love the 3rd book as well!

[@SunnyC.D.A221]

Imagine in wilds, flock of Yian Garuga

[@Dr.J42]

Quropeco would be great fried with lemon. Make an excellent Peking Duck.

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! Thanks For this 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤

[@SassyCassie89]

Thank you for the warning about arachnophobia 🙏. My mam used to pretty much torture me with spiders so im deathly afraid of them. 😅

[@chillypanda2168]

Out of place zoologist mention. Whens the collab?

[@musalamalmahri253]

LET'S FUCKING GO SCIENCE

[@limesause6644]

'care and consideration' and 'magmamalo' do not go together

[@pcport2698]

who knew that cephadrome was a trans icon this entire time. newfound respect unlocked

[@athos9293]

"Barack Ydios" 😭

[@BigOsyxx]

Someone tag nux

[@pcport2698]

do not.

[@internetsavage8733]

christmas is early wtf

[@Buzk_4]

Yeah, science beach!

[@calrex7706]

So you think Qurupeco tastes like duck or chicken?

[@roxasthelonewolf23]

Make it I want more

[@negativesymptom1110]

YEAAAAAAAAAH ITS FINALLY HEEEEEEEERE

[@edgardmacedo8264]

monster hunter let's goooo

[@okamiryun6963]

9:48 "how many carnivore eyes reflect light" shows a picture of an herbivore reflecting light. Good way of going its not carnivores that do that its nocturnal or dainural animals that reflect.

[@ginkage5863]

Thanks 👍

[@s.fire7778]

Cephalos section is *Freaky*

[@ComfortZoneComic]

What's this, I didn't know this 😅

[@siragon756]

Damn, I didn't expect this video so soon considering how recently you got the second book. Nice! Now, let's see what that trans rights Cephadrome whole thing is about

[@michellemelendez1054]

LETS FUCKING GOOOOO

[@kartxlol8023]

one more plz

[@randomdude4505]

There are multiple kinds of symbiosis, not just mutualism. Parasitism is one of the most common forms of symbiosis. Also, the word for human-like intelligence is sapience not sentience. Screw you Roddenberry.

[@spookyfrogs1874]

THIRD

[@whiteninji352]

11:06 21 years old and I just went into a giggle fit at that description. This is why I watch your content XD.

[@McTiny]

35 years old here. So did I. 😂

[@anonymeperson4193]

43:11 i just wanna say... I CALLED IT, HA! (when you posted the image of cephalos on top of the trans flag on twitter someone in your comments said they wanted to watch this so this makes sense... and what you described is basically what i replied it would likely be.)
