Sexual & Asexual Reproduction: How Animals Do It: Crash Course Biology #47

[@melimsah]

Long time nerdfighters know the choice of giraffes and turtles at the start is not a coincidence. Love to see that some things never change. Don't forget to be awesome.

I cant believe the thumbnail wasnt a trick

[@theoretically857]

is the thumbnail a callback to one of hank's old vlogbrothers videos?

[@melimsah]

Just one? There's easily 3 videos related to giraffes skoodilypooping

[@littlebumgorf]

Where are my 2007 vlogbrothers homies at!!?

[@awesomehpt8938]

I feel sorry for newborn giraffes. They get dropped from that great height onto the ground and then amniotic fluid and the placenta gets dropped right onto them. Nice.

[@drunkenskunkproductionsdsp8094]

And they have one of the shortest mating times with low success rates, like other ruminant animals. To top it all off, they're in nature's equivalent of city slums. Yikes.

[@drunkenskunkproductionsdsp8094]

What's also bad is that giraffes, like other ruminants, have extremely short breeding times with low success rates, and they live in nature's equivalent of an active war zone.

the people who love giraffes who love giraffes are here!!! the Giraffe Love tshirt was my first merch ever :')

Leaving a comment for the algorithm bc god knows KZbin gets annoying when talking about adult related topics. And sure, it’s about the biology of it all, but that doesn’t stop censors.

[@jljordan1]

Hank wrote that intro huh?

[@maidenchrome]

If i had a nickel each time a Complexly KZbin Channel made a video about Giraffe Love, I'd have more than 6 nickels. Which is a lot... But it's really weird it happened 6 times.

[@mrsledge]

As an educator I am very happy for this video. Perfect execution from crashcourse team. Ευχαριστω !

[@metalheadjakob]

That thumbnail took me way back to a vlogbrothers video.

[@OrdonWolf]

Nice, though I wish you had also touched upon isogamy when talking about the sexes. Fungus reproduction is so werid and fascinating!

[@person42069]

i clicked on this video immediately after seeing the thumbnail lol

[@5minutesofyourtime]

I saw the thumbnail and thought to myself "if this video will not get me fired it is my duty as a Nerdfighter since i was 16 to show my 16 year olds in science about to do evolution". Don't forget to be awesome! They won't get the joke but i sure will.

[@RD9_Designs]

Dude, you're awesome! Very informative and entertaining!

[@jeffhappens1]

Thanks Dr. Ramsey!!!!! Love the energy you give

[@WhaleManMan]

Can't believe Hank isn't here for this 😒

[@ohhoney.3680]

Always nice to revisit stuff we learned in middle school biology.

[@Hannah-ologist]

classic choice on the thumbnail folks, long-time nerdfighters remember it well 😆

[@sabercat5490]

One thing i now realize from this vid is that flies, prob depening on species, can go at it.

[@IrtisamHaider-d6x]

3 EPISODES LEFT

[@MiddleCrunchedBeef]

😂enjoyed the videeeo

[@mr.mikeygaming3723]

My dog sometimes does the same thing the bear did but to my legs. I thought of them as cute little hugs. Not this.

[@theanyktos]

Oooohhhh, callback thumbnail! Ah yes. Giraffe love. Those were the days.

[@qwertypoiu5207]

Fascinating video. Fun to watch and very educational. Thank you Dr. Sammy, you are doing a fabulous job. One thing though, why every time we talk about reproduction in biology, we have to put in some words about gender fluidity?...

[@kikib.2344]

…..I mean he quite literally talked about animals that can change sex and contain both male and female reproductive organs depending on the circumstances/conditions of their environment. lmao the definition of gender fluid is essentially “identifying as male one day, and female the next day”. Which we have seen in the video.

[@mitchlahr9527]

They can’t keep getting away with it!

[@malkum77ify]

" jungle love! Yeah! O-e-o-e-o!"

[@1492irina]

Giraffes who love giraffes !

[@ScottKorin]

I see you, 2007 vlogbrothers

[@manuelanthony7256]

Let’s talk about all the good things and the bad things that may be…

[@malkum77ify]

I see what you did...

[@malkum77ify]

And if you know that song, then you're old! LOL

[@manuelanthony7256]

@@malkum77ifylmao couldn’t help myself.

[@drunkenskunkproductionsdsp8094]

The real question is whether or not it's easier for animals to get it on than humans in comparison.

[@frodoadventure1]

Non-humans do not suffer through as much social stigma and religious brainwashing, so I assume non-humans have a much easier time of it.

[@twiggyvlogs6441]

Giraffes who like giraffes!

[@HuskerFox]

If you ever want to see a movie about a human growing out of another humans shoulder, see "How to get ahead and advertising"😉

[@Coffeemate17A]

Dear crash course for the past several months I've been having very short fainting episodes no longer than 7 seconds. So I was wondering if y'all could possibly make A video on that, possible causes etc. Everything I've heard does not add up to mine and this is really restricting me from doing what I love. I'm 16 and really enjoy your videos thank y'all. Sincerely ?

[@carrieanderson3438]

The deed😮

[@JoseAngeloGallegos]

This is hilarious

[@rongike]

y'all sure we need episode 48? is it actually going to be about biology?

[@wuhoolife]

Ayo bro?! 🤨 Not the🦒🦒 thumbnail!

[@maryrosepondoc4623]

the giraff💀💯

[@crossXFaed]

The host is enjoying this a little too much 😅

[@MyYoutube-my3ok]

lmao

What we got going on???

[@inniehyacinth]

The thumbnail. 😭

Too early

Uh

[@BarchinoyG]

Omg

[@kazooke]

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[@tariqs4357]

NO PULLING OUT 😂

[@alg11297]

This is all very interesting and theoretical but you have to account for (1) what drives animals to reproduce. The basic answer is "instinct" which has never been explained. (2) do animals know what they are producing a next generation. When an elephant mates with a female, does he know that 1 year later the female will give birth to it's progeny? It could be many miles away. That's the great part of biology; you don't have to explain anything logically. You just observe it. And by the way, how did all this evolve....on it's own?

[@MOSMASTERING]

Sexual reproduction was a very early adaptation from basic asexual mitosis. Its a better way of sharing more DNA. Billions of years later, we have a diverse range of "doin' it"
