As someone in the field whose done a decent amount of work on mammoths I always forget that it's not common knowledge just how closely they are related to elephants. Mammoths are *within* the clade that includes all extant elephants. Last I checked, mammoths and Asian elephants are more closely related to eachother than either is to the African Elephant. If they were alive today, perhaps we'd think if them as 'just that third kind of elephant', although I think they would still be striking and unique. But it shouldn't shock us when they are very similiar to the elephants we know and love. Very good video!

Some mammals seem indeed to be able to thrive despite inbreeding. In Finland we have a huge population of white tail deer that was introduced from America in the 1930s. The founding population was absolutely miniscule - only 7 breeding individuals. Now there are thousands of them and I don't understand how they haven't succumbed to genetic deterioration.
@zanderdev5720 күн бұрын
Because negative traits died out. I am not a Finn and do not claim to know about your ecosystem, but it is safe to assume that there are wolves and bears there, as well as some kind of cat large enough to hunt deer. Inbreeding is not nearly as bad when there are things that can kill the genetically inferior population. Most of the remaining negative traits are probably just chronic illnesses that arent ever really an issue because the deer dont live long enough to suffer from them.
@pendlera295919 күн бұрын
Inbreeding concentrates some bad genes, but an underpopulated environment means more nutrition and less competition. Therefore, good mutations also have a better chance of being passed on. Lots of genetically healthy individuals get killed before reproducing. Also, I think our fear of inbreeding is generally overblown. American bison came back from six individuals. Animal breeders routinely inbreed for several generations with plenty of functioning offspring. Even in humans, the royal families are very inbred and yet only a few lines got bad enough to notice (hemophilia is a dominant gene and doesn't count, since it spreads regardless of how closely related the parents are).
@SavannahLogsdonBreakstone17 күн бұрын
If you check out interviews with the scientists in question, they found a shockingly low amount of consinguinity (which they define as second cousin or closer) in the dna samples for how small the initial breeding numbers were, and from there infer mammoths have a similar taboo to consinguinity that elephants do! This low consinguinity rate despite the 8 individuals starting pop means that the negative impacts of inbreeding are lower than in populations with similar starting populations but without a taboo on consinguinity.

As we are on the topic of mammoth reproduction, let me share a Swedish joke about the extinction of the Mammuths: "Varför dog mammutarna ut?" "För det fanns inga papputar." English Translation (almost works): "Why did the Mammoths go extinct?" "Because there weren't any Daduths." In Swedish "Mamma" is Mom, and "Pappa" is Dad.

If woolly mammoths were still chugging along while the Egyptian pyramids were built, does that mean that they technically survived into recorded history?
@DrachenGothik66619 күн бұрын
Since "recorded history" dates back more than 6 thousand years (check out ancient China for instance for just one mostly contiguous history of one culture), that would be a yes.

When I was in school I had a History teacher who would sometimes use the rare expression "I couldn't give a fish's earhole." to describe his lack of interest in something. Years later I discovered that growth rings in earbones (otoliths) can be used by scientists to trace the geographic and biochemical life history of a fish.

Honestly animal science is the science that i really love. Didnt care about godzilla, i saw the trailer for the new gozilla and kong movie and i was hooked. My husband says "why all of a sudden" and i started ranting about how the animals are so well animated and how this is a gorilla obviously and this is obviously a orangatan and this baby is clearly a mix of the two so- and he said it was really boring that i was into godzilla for the animals instead of the fighting

@obansrinathan16 күн бұрын
Which megafauna were lost in societal memory? I thought most died out with the first people to arrive in Australia. I suppose the Tasmanian tiger is a similar case only smaller but was there any megafauna that died out with European invasions?
@phaex20038 күн бұрын
@@obansrinathan Theres still some megafauna present today, and some that got extinct during recent times, the term "megafauna" is tricky, because it makes you think that only big animals are part of it, but megafauna is used to describe every animal that appeared during the beggining of the last ice age

Oh yeah, mammoths and mastedons were all around the Great Lakes. Every now and then one gets uncovered during construction. Last one I recall, a farmer in Chelsea found mammoth remains in his field while digging to have new irrigation system put in. The farmer contacted the University of Michigan, and the paleontology department did an extremely fast excavation as the farmer had a time table to get his irrigation done and crops harvested.

It's subtle, but if one pays attention when travelling north/south through Toronto, one would notice terraces. These are in fact ancient shore lines of glacial lake Algonquin. It's in the gardens on the edge of these terraces that a few lucky Torontonians have unearthed mammoth teeth.
