@@jampacc Well of course there are different amounts of cervical (7), thoracic (12), lumbar vertebrae (5) and a sacral leg (5 synostosed into one bone) and a coccyx (animals with tails have more coccygeal vertebrae, some humans have 5 and some have only 3; animals with long tails like dogs have more than 20) Some animals have lumbar vertebrae as thoracic vertebra and sacral vertebrae as lumbar vertebrae, so they have a few more or less of those, but cervical vertebrae are always 7 no matter how long or short the neck is. There are also holes between the vertebrae, where nerves get out from the spinal chord. These are called intervertebral foramen and every IVF-nerve innervates a specific skin areal (somatosensitive), called dermatopes and innervates a specific muscle (somatomotoric) there is also the parasympathetic (viscerosensoric and -motoric; only in the cranial brain: brain nerves (III, VII, IX and X) and the sacral IVF-nerves. The sympathetic nerves only comes from the thoracic and lumbar IVFs. Also many nerves have different qualities and different IVF-bases and come/project from/to different brain cores.

'God did it' without further explaination is pretty much identical to 'we have no idea' in practice, after all (regardless of one's beliefs regarding the truth or lack there of of such a claim), and the 'further explaination', when present, is usually at least as defective as any explaination of Evolution that I've ever encountered, often more so.

I'd guess it's because trunks serve the same purpose, but are much easier for mammals to support.

Basically they chain all their air sacs together so they effectively have all of it as lung volume to push the old air out their neck.

@@cem_kaya Its definitely viable and by far the greatest of the tank builds in terms of pure defensive stats, but near AFK playstyles arent for me personally. And unlike most whale species theyre rather solitary and dont travel in pods of multiple whales, so its a pretty lonely life once you reach maturity just sucking up krill as you float at a relaxed pace between the arctic and equator, no real pvp either other than the human ship and fishing net dodging minigames. But all that being said, its certainly one of the easiest builds to accrue one of the highest experience point totals in history by the end of your playthrough once you do reach adulthood.

I can't believe you didn't mention they have the Ruminant perk. That's probably what let them beat out the other treetop browser mammals. It might not be flashy, but any perk that improves the EXP you get from grazing, or eating in general, is a great one.

[@cordyceps7531]

Not that your videos haven't always had amazing quality, but this video feels like such a step up. Just so many super high-quality effects. It's nice to see you continue to grow and gain more success.

[@compatriot852]

The giraffe is the probably the best example of a glass cannon mammal. You're extremely strong, but pretty much screwed if somebody trips you especially if you're getting tag teamed or another giraffe knocks you unconscious, thus exposed

[@TierZoo]

Eh they're pretty tanky too, just look at all the clips in this video of giraffes walking while multiple lions hang on with their teeth. As long as they can avoid getting knocked over, they can survive a lot of damage

@@cycle3773 I can just imagine a giraffe just being like: "Nope, not your ball" and just leans down to reach the goal.

Only true if you can take out a leg at least semi-permanently. Break a giraffe's leg its done for. That is easier said than done though... It's also where the "Hyena Exception" came in. On this episode the only contenders that could realistically do that are Hyena, Elephant, and Rhino... maybe a large Wildebeast. Am a bit surprised he didn't mention the Giraffe v Crocodile encounter though, since Giraffe sacrifice basically all of their advantages when in Crocodile territory.

Hey TierZoo, I came across your channel today and i got the morale buff. I really liked the videos that i watched, namely all of which featuring the human build. And some others like the cephalopod build. It would give me the greater morale buff if you were to make a video about how to max out the human build with respect to the societal structure and especially focus on how they could use their intelligence to level up at an accelerated rate.
