SciShow Talk Show: Kallie Moore, Ancient Life, And A Dragon

[@GuyWithAnAmazingHat]

I really like the length of the video and how the guest and Jessi now come prepared with a topic they can discuss together.

[@turdl38]

+GuyWithAnAmazingHat I have that hat too!

[@Erin-S]

Kallie is great! I'd love to see her more on Scishow. She loves her job so much and it's so infectious!

[@wonderfulfable]

She did, she eventually became one of the hosts on SciShow sister channel's PBS EONS.

[@TheLuluTrue]

I usually skip right to Jessie and the animal but for this video, I actually went back to watch the whole thing. Kallie is great! She is so passionate about her work and has so many interesting things to tell.

[@bethhughes22]

As a Palaeontology student, I really loved watching this while studying :)

[@voyagerabove4034]

Fossils always blow my mind. I mean, it isn't just a 20+ million year old thing. That's part of an animal that hatched from an egg and lived an actual life. It's just surreal to think that there was an entire world before we got here, every bit as alive and fantastic as the one we live in. Science is fucking beautiful.

[@thedizzlesizzle89]

What's mindblowing is how often we date the fossils incorrectly, I mean they practically guess half the time

[@pragmat1k]

Kallie, was incredibly charismatic. Great guest! :)

[@MonCappy]

I really liked the longer length of this interview. I hope you post more interviews of this type.

[@PinkChucky15]

I know mammoths were huge, but that's just one of their toe bones?! Wow.

[@furreos4811]

Animal Expert + Fossil expert + the Hank Green? That's one high quality science talk show right there.

[@Linkous12]

Kallie reminds me how much I wish I could go back in time and study Paleontology (and related fields), instead of what I did. I've always found it incredibly interesting.

[@CommunityTheatre]

Hey I worked on that database. Go Kallie!

[@JSalesFilm]

Awesome! Love these interviews. An on location follow up for this one would be great.

[@VEE727]

40 minutes long? Do I have that kinda time? 40 minutes later.... It's over already?

[@sohamshah1806]

😂

[@EcceJack]

+VEE727 The first line was me when I first saw it in the subscription fee, and also now I'm about to watch it. Thanks for sharing the experience; I hope I come out the other way as pleased as you have clearly been :D

[@EcceJack]

+EcceJack ....yup, yup; now (40 min later) I can fully agree :D but then, I did study geology for a year (before specialising elsewhere), which included palaeontology, so I should have *expected* to be interested :)

[@zhuque2262]

+VEE727 40th like! :D

[@VEE727]

EcceJack :D It was probably the best Talk show from SciShow yet

[@urmorph]

It's such a pleasure to watch and hear three vivacious, intelligent people sharing their enthusiasm for science. After hearing Kallie Moore, may I propose a motto for paleontologists: Paleontologia non Olet.

[@thiagodunadan]

Let's all google "chinese water dragon on a mammoth toe" to make it a common search.

[@Tfin]

+Thiago Monteiro When you don't find it, get a screenshot from this video and try to "search by image."

[@ablbelle8953]

5 years later and the title card still comes up.

[@CrawfordAutomation]

My family had a Chinese water dragon for 14 years and I loved that thing. I remember not having to spend any money on food during the spring and summer because we could just set her outside and she'd go ham on grasshoppers for like 5 mins then just bask on the sidewalk in the sun for an hour before wanting to come inside.

[@hawkeyestegosaurus5680]

Hell yeah, my favorite fossil librarian Kallie !

[@Root3264]

This channel is a constant joy to come back to. I love it!

[@miri64]

Now I want a Brainscoop-style show with Kallie and her collection.

[@Mat-xe8pt]

+Martine Lenders Your use of the word "her" offends me. Please don't subscribe Kallie's gendern binary to a "her".

[@miri64]

Mat O'Brien I'm sorry that this offends you, but a) Hank was referring to her with female pronouns and b) why does it offend *you* when I (clearly not) misgender a person? Lastly, what has the pronoun "her" to do with gender binary? "Her" is as well present in the gender continuum as "his", "xims", "theirs", "siers" etc (and again, I'm sorry if I missed your pronoun, but you gave none to begin with). Only because someone is cisgender their gender isn't valid.

[@ShadeSlayer1911]

+Martine Lenders Why did you fall into his trap?

[@miri64]

+ShadeSlayer1911 because I don't let myself silence by a moron who thinks it's funny to use the situation of a repressed group for their trolling.

[@Dan-ty7cb]

+Martine Lenders You didn't have to type all of that. You could've just said there's two genders.

[@IngeborgEngh]

This was so cool! I wrote my master thesis using mosses from museum collections (herbaria) and also worked at the herbarium filing mosses and lichens. The herbarium I worked at also had the same problem that filing was not prioritised the last 50 years, so there was a big backlog. Nice to hear from someone else in the same field

[@nccish]

Kallie was awesome and her work sounds really interesting.

[@chiot888]

i love seeing people so passionate about animals, you can tell she has nothing but pure love and respect for that little water dragon

[@Calus767]

A 40 minute long Scishow talkshow about ancient life? Awwwww yis! Tonight's a good night!

[@KikiJik001]

Kallie and Jessi seem to be amazing people to work/be friend with. They both looks so funny, passionate about their jobs and energetic! :)

[@arquenvaron]

My favorite talk show so far. Thanks for this.. fun and very informative.

[@nikkibishop8025]

My two favourite presenters together :)

[@stevecarnegis4413]

It's good to know that there are adventurous people like Kallie in the world. I'm about to graduate from undergrad in science and I'm looking near home

[@fromscratchauntybindy9743]

Kallie so rocks! This was the perfect length for a normally boring train ride. Thanks 😀

[@AnstonMusic]

30:25 Close your eyes! :D It's one of those moments.

[@TheBonzobonzo]

Even earlier really!!

[@AnstonMusic]

Michael Rosen I don't really think so. Or perhaps, give your own suggestion!

[@WhaleMom02]

Stop.

[@AbsurdJosh]

+EpicConnor12 No.

[@WhaleMom02]

+Josh g k

[@dolebiscuit]

This is awesome to watch knowing she would eventually join the Eons team!

[@devilsenvy13]

wow, loved this sso much! it was really interesting for me to listen to these smart and bright female scientists. and also Hak really held his own.

[@omerlavian5120]

If I lived in Montana I would LOVE to volunteer with the collection.

[@FaceFirstGhost]

Years late but 10/10 would volunteer to help index specimens because ancient life is sooooo coooooooool

[@rayhs1984]

No idea if they are native, but Florida has tons of Iguanas. Every winter you hear stories of people thinking they are dead and bringing them inside for someone to bury later and the thing waking up.

[@ErgoCogita]

+Raymond Smith Not native and they are literally everywhere.

[@Finimabob]

They mentioned them at about 23:00 and seemed pretty sure that they weren't native.

[@pmosh1]

It's amazingly amusing to hear her speak

[@Psymphonicmonk]

Fantastic guest Hankeroo

[@garyyounker9516]

Great show, Kallie was a pleasure to watch, very smart and knowledgeable Jessi was great too, . Also both women were beautiful.

[@johnpaulmcdonnell6562]

This was a successful job interview

[@michaelsimon2880]

Please more about kallies work, very nice episode! Thx

[@deejaydubla]

Glad you found her, she's great!

[@thedizzlesizzle89]

I love when Jessi is on, such a bright and bubbly personality

[@minhnguyen5767]

Looking forward to the next Scishow Quiz Show

[@TheVivek199]

Totally!

[@chenoaholdstock3507]

so am I..... Did you notice in the Hank Green vs brother a while ago, the guy showing prizes has a t shirt on that says EVERYTHING IS DEAD?

[@TerenceClark]

+Minh Nguyen Have you seen Crash Course Astronomy? It's not Phil Plait on a show with Hank, but he's featured on a Hank Green project. And it's awesome.

[@TerenceClark]

I don't remember one, but I haven't had tv service since 2005, so I might have missed it.

[@aryanprivilege9651]

Florida has tons on invasive species including a few iguana species, mostly common green iguana.

[@AllTheArtsy]

I've heard some of Hank's LA friends (lol, by that I think I mean Geek & Sundry folks) joke abt how he willingly lives in Montana (Sarcasm!). AND DAAAMN. It's like a hotbed of talent out there. Cool, awesome folks doing cool, awesome things! Great interview!

[@kellbing]

Now I wish I lived in Montana near this museum.

[@sourisdebibliotheque]

You should make a video of Hank going to volunteer to the Paleonthology Center!

[@sourisdebibliotheque]

You should also make a T-shirt: chinese water dragon on a mamouth toe!

[@MicroBlogganism]

Holy shit, Lokita is too cute! :D

[@clovis5857]

It would be amazing to have access to a fossil collection, just to look at everything and draw the specimens.

[@daemn42]

Pronghorns can in fact jump over fences and there are videos showing individuals doing it fairly gracefully. I just found one jumping over a fence taller than its own head. For reasons unknown, the vast majority have not learned to do it, and try to go under them (or around).

[@jadedeyesamuri]

so excited. can't wait

[@bobohm21]

Pronghorns can and do jump fences. I live in South Dakota where we have a fairly large population of pronghorns and I have seen them do it. Just like other wildlife they prefer to go around if they can, but if they can't, pronghorns try to go under first, if they can't then they will jump. If you search pronghorns jumping fences, there are videos and pictures of them doing it.

[@Jayohennn]

Question for Jessi: I recently re-watched the one where you brought the sugar glider and it got me thinking: with 50 different species and 50 different sleep cycles, how are you awake to care for them all? Do you have a bunch of assistants? If not, how in the world do you get sleep? Do you and your husband take shifts? -Jon

[@ashleyfurrow4414]

Great episode!

[@Seraph54]

This is great to listen to while doing homework haha. Love the content!

[@iglesiasthiago]

Great video, guys!

[@GkellyJ]

Kallie! I volunteered for National Fossil Day at the U under her leadership!

[@razzar508]

I'm so happy to see lokita again! I have 2 of these lizards as pets and they are great. I wish there were as many fossils to find here in Massachusetts as there are in Montana.

[@ozdergekko]

Kallie is such a nice person. And once more I noticed how well women go together. They mostly don't go into competition mode when they are not alone. And Hank fits quite well into this.

[@MarbleClouds]

ja.

[@theawesomekickassman]

little does Kallie Moore know is this was an interview by hank for Her to see if she would be good enough to start a new channel that he could help produce!

[@whistlingglasses8758]

Went here after the Mysteries of Deep Time episode. Interesting to see Kallie's origin story.

[@spencerthompson1049]

Kallie Moore is awesome 😎

[@RadarRaym]

What a rough job you have Hank, having two beautiful, intelligent woman on your show. Once again a great episode guys.

[@AlexLusth]

Now I want a Water dragon!

[@zacharyabrahamson5287]

I used to have one, they're amazing pets and very friendly. But, they are very susceptible to cancer. It's how I lost mine.

[@AlexLusth]

aw, now that makes me sad :(

[@Slurrrrrpy]

I own a water dragon, they make wonderful pets with the right care 🐲💚 such silly personalities.

[@bellarodrgz]

This has to be my favorite talk show yet because it's longer and of course because of Lokita I mean c'mon

[@tonyapavement]

This is fantastic

[@OctagonalGolbat]

Watching this video is making me wish my region had a natural history museum so I could go learn about some rad fossils - sadly, the nearest one is a three-hour train ride away.

[@schpookendike]

sci show tall show is my favorite thing

[@TheRaoulsdaddy]

The guy who trains mink to hunt has also trained his Monitor and has several youtube vids on his method.He would make an excellent guest.Thats Joseph Carter the "Mink man"

[@tatianatub]

i would come volunteer if i lived even remotely close to missoula montana

[@JosephDavies]

+ashley beaumont: Same here. I'd love to help, but it's impossibly far.

[@fieryhottacos8413]

I would too but i live in Australia

[@nolanthiessen1073]

+ashley beaumont There are likely similar situations at the university closest to you. All you have to do is look and volunteer opportunities present themselves.

[@citrus_aves]

can you guys make a crashcourse geology/paleontology?

[@austoful]

the green iguana is native to northern mexico and southern US, so yes, we have iguanas.

[@Tfin]

+christopher Christos Just not in _most_ of the US, yeah.

[@alejandrobetancourt4902]

I'm from Miami and you see iguanas down here all the time. They live in the canals.

[@xGRWLD]

23 people really like the video so much that they turn their phone upside-down and liked the video again! xD

[@taken_over3416]

Lol

[@MinecraftEpicPlayer]

+Gerald Cabuay I did it with my entire computer desk! (jk)

[@Reptiliancentaur781]

43 now gosh they must really like the video

[@in1earoutthewindow383]

Woo, New Zealand!!

[@iangates]

The chemistry! :)

[@SmilerAndSadEyes]

I have never heard of a Pronghorn before this video. Now it's time to find some video of some :-)

[@sonorasgirl]

Watching them play with the lizard is so soothing...almost visual ASMR. Until Kalli asked “if she fossilized”.... Nothing more soothing than talking about her body decomposing😂.

[@TeaRex12]

I would love to volunteer at Kallie's library!

[@therealbunnymix]

I wanna be Kallie when I grow up! If I had the money to go to Montana I would so volunteer.

[@K_FI_L_Y_P_S_O]

Nebraska representtttttttt!

[@littoralyminded]

Best part: the auto generated captions said it was your job to put the fossils in Mordor.

[@luellalunabjd]

What a cool girl! What a cool job! I could listen to her for hours :) I would love a job like that! Organizing, researching.. So cool!

[@herbertkeithmiller]

I am off to look up information about pronghorns. Thanks Hank.

[@kalvinlabuik3366]

My favourite State is Montana we live Southern Saskatchewan next door Montana when I was growing in on the family farm in Mossbank, Sk area

[@Grinnar]

Turns out that Hank doesn't just look like a nerd, he actually is one. Kudos!

[@lennic95]

I'm gonna bet right now that Hank is going to start a fossil channel with Kallie :D

[@raccoonman4691]

Dunno if this was before eons or not but if it was you win life

[@xollst]

i've watched this a few times. i just noticed kallie said "i don't think i've ever had a live animal touch any of our fossils" lol i know what she meant but it makes me giggle. are we not all animals xD also yes i'm weird i like watching scientific content more than once and even more so it sinks in

[@The1Helleri]

There are two North American species of Iguana that I know of. Both of which can be found in Southern California where I grew up (but other places in the southwest as well). The Desert Iguana and the Chuckwallas. And teeth are not the only difference. All Iguana are new world (as apposed to old world) animals. Pretty sure all Iguanas also have a parietal 3rd eye as well (a primitive eye that works as a thermostat, located on top of their head). Desert iguanas see into the ultraviolet. They lay down urine trails, that mostly only they can see (unless your out there at night with a black light) as paths out on the dry lake beds where they like to live. And Chuckwallas can dive from basking atop a boulder, into the crevices between boulders. When they do so, they puff themselves up so that they can't be dislodged (having really tough skin helps with this as well). Used to help catch a male and female pair of each species, every year for my father's localities herpetology lecture circuit when I was younger (they were released afterwards of course). One large male chuck that my dad liked to use for the lectures, got so used to being caught each year, that he could be easily bribed to come along with a piece of watermelon. And my dad had the strangest way of catching desert iguanas for the lecture. He would put on a bright blue shirt and do push-ups on the dry lake beds. Either a female would come out (attracted by the display) or a male would come out and start doing push-ups as well (competing with him). I either case he'd just pick it up.

[@AnnoyingAsianWitch]

RIP Lokita!

[@themarvelousblackcanary8362]

more Karlie Moore! scishow

[@thorenrectus8688]

The water dragon reminds me so much of a tuatara. At least visually.

[@TerenceClark]

There are iguanas all over central America, so they're on the continent. Not sure if any are in the US itself, aside from released pets.

[@chillsahoy2640]

Wait, modern predators in North America are slower than those from 25 million years ago? Is there any specific reason for that, like less oxygen availability or different geographical conditions?

[@taken_over3416]

I want this answered

[@darkfire090]

+Mr Schrödinger - I am the one who reviews. I think it's like they said, North America doesn't have fast predators anymore (they mentioned american lions and cheetahs) so I suppose animals didn't have to put energy into speed and instead evolved other traits.

[@noellemuzzy3557]

I'm not an expert at all but I think that having a completely different landscape led to different traits being useful and it was probably more open prairie, but now that area is more mountainous so running is less useful and animals need more jumping and climbing abilities.

[@ProfessorEGadd]

+Mr Schrödinger - I am the one who reviews. 25 million years ago was a loooooooong time, but one of the main differences will be human activity. Humans quickly wipe out megafauna when they arrive on continents and islands. The big herbivores we killed for meat, but in doing so we wiped out the main food source for herbivore-predators. Anything highly specialised would be in huge trouble as soon as humans made landfall. It is not surprising that only the smaller predators with more generalised diets remain today.

[@culwin]

+Mr Schrödinger - I am the one who reviews. Different types of predators - big cats that are no longer around.

[@stevenellis9801]

Awesome, love dino bones, but i'm crazy about Dragons.......very cool.

[@heatheredwards2982]

I have one of the fish fossils!!! So cool!!!!

[@gutyhuy3817]

We have desert iguanas down here in southern california

[@wierdalien1]

@NostraDunwhich this is ancient this format.

[@janehughart9290]

Museum Studies Major here!

[@mkupcha3184]

yeah America has a ton of iguannas in the flordia keys, they and wild chickens run wild in the islands

[@-cosmicrogue-]

Lokita is so beautiful :)
