As unsettling as intelligent animals are, the idea that we might someday be able to have intelligent conversations with another species is REALLY intriguing to me. Talking to someone who grew up in a different country than yours lets you learn about a whole other society and culture you've never seen; now imagine that, but you're talking to an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT SPECIES instead. Humans can befriend and form bonds with other animals and vice versa, sure, but it's not like we can walk up to a squirrel or something and have a chat like we can with other people. Can't wait for the future so I can become close friends with an octopus

[@just_some_guy.703]

I love how much you understand octopus intelligence. If you're concerned by the fact that they're capable of holding grudges, then oh boy, you're gonna be terrified by the fact that they literally build cities.

[@genericname2747]

Pardon

[@just_some_guy.703]

@genericname2747 Yep, there are 2 of them Octopolis and Octlantis. Look them up. Also, probably the most interesting thing about them is that their inhabitants are normally territorial species of octopus that are intentionally going against their instincts and living in close proximity to each other for better survival Actually recently, octopus have been seen using fish to help them hunt and then punching them when they don't cooperate.

You will NOT be happy to hear that harbor seals and gray seals can do the same human voice mimicry thing that crows do, but with a more disturbing degree of accuracy because we’re both mammals and our larynxes are shaped exactly the same. Go look up Hoover the seal and see if you can find an audio recording of the little guy mimicking his trainer’s voice.

[@VippiFromXenoZtudios]

For the crow-money-tactic thing, I’m pretty sure they pick money at random and when a human accepts it, they assume we hold value in it. This leads to them continuing to search for money to pay for their care, either that or they observe what humans regularly do and see how we use cash.

Glad ants got the recognition they deserve, but may i add that they have straight up pokemon abilities? Their are ants with hairs that when zoomed in on look like hypedemic needles, ants with stingers, acid sprays, whatever big headed ants are getting up too, combinations of abilites, you have ants that can spend up to 24 hours underwater. There are ants that became reflective to deflect the suns rays so they dont burn to death in the Sahara desert. These things are insane and im so happy you gave the time of day. Ever since i wrote my first college paper i was hooked on the little guys, and if you, yes you are reading this, i implore you to spend an afternoon just learning about these little buddies, bc they are amazing.

[@anthonyoliver418]

I’m surprised you didn’t bring up how messed up the procreation process is for the octopus, considering after the fact the males fall apart until the female or the predator eats him, while the female slowly dies looking after the eggs, but for real these animals make me realize how accurate movies with alien species are when it comes to their bizarre or overpowered aspects, like no wonder predators and Xenomorphs are such good killing machines when Emus exist.

Well damn, that was a really interesting vid, I'm glad to have found your channel! Also gotta admit, I'm surprised dolphins weren't included. Like, you mentioned octopodes can learn spite, but dolphins know straight-up cruelty. They do some reaaaallly bad and messed up stuff (i'm talking huffing pufferfish, AND worse!), not even for survival but just for the sake of it, which is even worse considering how smart they are. I'm just saying, the good opinion ppl have of them (being friendly creatures and all) is absolutely undeserved. But rant aside, that was a ptty instructive and entertaining video, and I learned new stuff, so, great work!

[@Snootyboops]

Genuinely the most enjoyable video I've watched in quite a while, so glad I'm subbed to this channel c:

[@staticsphere_]

Hi. Australian here. I just wanted to say that regarding the emu war, the term "war" for the first attempt is very much an exaggeration (it was a handful of troopers with 2 machine guns mounted on their own truck.) Most of the rounds that hit didn't kill the emu's, it just wounded them (only ~24ish emu's dead out of 1000). Most of the emu's were somewhat successfully herded away from crop farms, but they quickly organized into smaller packs which made machine guns significantly less effective (you could argue this as emus being intelligent like corvids and using guerilla tactics if you really want to stretch the definition). The second attempt was much more "successful", as 40 were outright killed and around 2500 were wounded. Higher ups and conservatives (especially ones from the UK) then told them to withdraw as to not cause further damage to the ecosystem and wanted to protect the "rare birds". Personally, I think viewing the situation as a war is a bit... insincere? But people like to use it as a buzzword and a propaganda statement to downplay the Australian military's competence. I know people like to clown on this, but I don't really see it as justification for putting emu's as "weird animals", as they weren't responsible for the events that happened to them, it was a consequence of droughts, farmers affecting the ecosystem, migration and military personnel trying to relocate them with as few resources as possible. I think that there are many much more valid candidates for Australian wildlife that could easily take the position of emu's in the video, personally I would've picked the cassowary, one of our spiders or maybe the kangaroo (even drop bears would be a better candidate than emus imo). Platypus is fair game though, despite being really cute and adorable.

[@angryisopod395]

Notable mention to the muntjac which in addition to their fangs, also have several pheromone glands on their face, which when open up, make me feel all sorts of uncomfortable.
