[@TheNeonParadox]

Distrust of dolphins and chimps is a healthy system of distrust. Especially the chimps. I love primates, but chimps are up there with humans in savagery.

[@NoProtocol]

You get it

[@Mashangi]

Well we do share 99% the same DNA so stands to reason.

[@tomben6180]

Bonobos aren’t as bad as chimps but they’re also to be avoided. If you ever come across a chimp, get away from it as quickly as possible (easier said than done).

[@IAteYourSandwich]

If you want savage, look at lions. When the Pride leader gets old, his own sons will come back and team up to rip him apart, bite off his spine and genitals and leave him to die and take over the Pride, fighting eachother for dominance and then kill all the cubs so the females are available for breeding again. Look at Penguins. They commit atrocities to dead bodies, and chicks. There is a kind of monkey, I don’t remember their name, who literally use their babies as bait. When a predator comes, they throw their babies at it to run away. Orcas quite literally torture seals and penguins. Instead of just eating them, they will makes waves to push them off the safety of their ice, let them get back up, and do it again. Or use their tails to fling them in the air, sometimes not even eating them after the kill. Just, a LOT, if not most, animals in the wild do things to eachother that would land humans on deathrow. And I’m talking outside of normal predation.

@@NoProtocol I did, originally, wonder what the purpoise was of this video... South East London England 😀

[@terpcj]

The third octopus plural is octopodes (ok-TOP-uh-deez). The argument is made that since octopus's root is Greek and not Latin, then octopodes is more correct than octopi. That said, as the word is being used in the English language, octopuses is generally considered more correct, even among biologists. THAT said, I like to toss out the random octopodes as it's just a fun way to stir the grammatical pot.

[@NoProtocol]

I like where this comment went

[@devinfleenor3188]

Ok-TOP-uh-deez nutz!.... OK I'm leaving now, sorry.

[@SonOfMuta]

"ok.to.po.des"

[@Isleofskye]

Please don't mention Octopus. We had that for Christmas Dinner this year in London as we had a larger family gathering. It did not taste as nice as Turkey but,at least,we all got a leg each.......

[@petrochemicals8]

As a Greek thats sounds correct! We use it as octa-podes And not octo. Like the octagon root. Octo is 8 though...which is also correct.

[@zspider1778]

here in brazil there's a tale about pink amazonian dolphins that says, during commemorative holidays, the pink dolphin will get out of the river turn into a handsome man and seduce young women get them pregnant and disappear back to the river. that comes as proof that even in the folk lore you cannot trust dolphins. ps.: no protocol I need more videos with your opinion on various animals hahaha

[@johnmassey2980]

I was swimming in Western Australia (where I come from) once in chest deep water, and two large bottlenose dolphins swimming in tandem came racing straight towards me. Straight for me, no question, they were coming for me. I was telling my legs to move and get me out of there, but I was frozen to the spot with fright. They swim *terrifyingly* fast and zoomed straight up to me, then at the very last second they veered away, perfectly synchronised, curiosity satisfied, apparently. I have been in the water with sharks and rays, but that was the most terrifying moment. If they had rammed me they would have killed me. Even if they had just side-swiped me I would have been injured, but they missed me by a small margin.

[@regulus6773]

Well that's terrifying....

[@paulyguitary7651]

I love that dudes channel and his little fluffy mic. Wife and I know a lot (and I mean a crap ton) of animal trivia. This guy has occasionally dropped new info on us. Not many can tell us something new, something we don’t know about animals. It’s nice there is a KZbin channel out there that gets animal info correct.

[@Volyren]

Distrust by default is a healthy mindset. Theres a mountain lion who drops by my back porch a couple times a week. I'm comfortable enough to be on the deck with him, but I don't try to pet him. We just sit feet apart and chill in the sun. I always keep the door open, and make sure i could bolt inside if he suddenly moved. Even though he seems friendly and chill, I don't let my guard down. I'd treat dolphins the same way.

[@PiercedBrosmen]

On the subject of the zebras being black with white stripes, the polar bears are black with white fur. Their actual skin is black but the fur is so thick that you can’t see the skin. The thick fur also makes them look quite a bit bigger than they actually are.

[@McKavian]

There are some very polite moose out there as well. Two days ago I watched a mother and her calf cross the street using a cross walk.

[@NoProtocol]

That sounds very pleasant

[@McKavian]

@@NoProtocol not all moose are that socially respectful. In my 5 years in Alaska, I've seen moose using the crosswalks twice.

I absolutely love watching Casual Geographic. Dude covers nature in such a way that makes it really real. Funny too. And damn if he doesn't know his facts.

[@dallanc5199]

GPS trackers are almost always on a neck collar. They are fitted loose enough as to not bother the animal, but tight enough the animal cant kick it off or remove it in some way. Our DWR (Department of Wildlife Resources) collar most types of big game species in my state to track them and learn more about their movements. Deer, Elk, Bear, Moose, Mt Goats, Bighorn Sheep etc etc.

[@NoProtocol]

Thanks for this answer Dallan!

[@JakHart]

A channel I definitely recommend, in the realm of the animal kingdom, but on a different level, is "Journey to the Microcosms". It's a well narrated channel looking at various animals in the microscopic world. It's always interesting to see the differences between that tiny world and ours, and yet there are so many similarities.

[@johnbenson2919]

I would certainly agree that we should specify non-human animals, in which case I share similar sentiments to you concerning dolphins and chimps. In general, when it comes to ocean dwellers, there's some weird things going on there and I'm happy to leave them to their own domain and keep my feet dry. That was a fun video.

[@Tigermoto]

Wow, you and your channel are fabulous, just found it via the algorithm a few days ago but I must have binge watched everything you've nade. Please continue being amazing.

[@johnmoyle4195]

I just subscribed. I really like you. You get straight into the content I clicked for and you are SO well educated and switched on. I hope you liked being told that.

[@claudballs5679]

On the new History Channel show secrets of the Bermuda Triangle it is the first season in the last episode they were diving an airplane wreck and were returning to the surface at the depths of 300 ft the film crew and divers started getting circled by sharks they didn't think they were going to make it up to the surface. Out of nowhere a pod of wild dolphins started circling them and chasing off the sharks. None of the people in the show had ever seen this phenomena until then. But for some reasons the Dolphins felt it necessary to save the divers and film crew.

[@ravenward626]

Fun stuff! Casual Geographic is my favourite zoology channel by far. idk where more underwater rivers may be, but I've heard places like Venezuela and Brazil get a lot of Karstic topography. Rain eating through limestone deposits and creating underground rivers that can empty into the ocean from underwater cenotes and the like. I've seen some animals tagged with tracking devices attached to pierced ears, wearing collars, and anklets, I would assume it depends on the animal and what's practical.

[@NoProtocol]

Thanks for this (: I’ll look into Karstic topography! That’s something new to me.

[@Skinniest_Kween]

I learned more in this video than i did back in high school biology.

[@SimonJM]

Saw the words 'fear dolphins' and knew it was you even before I noted the channel name ...! Like you, learned a few things, which is always nice. And I have to admit dolphins are sneaking up my list of things not to trust! Not dolphin related but "Ring of Bright Water" is a good book (from memory, I read it long, long ago)

[@dmschoice2571]

Oh, Lindsay Nikole - that's the one he turns to for expertise about that "sea monkey". Stumbled across her channel just these days, and I will certainly take a deeper look. So far I can only recommend it. If you make a react to one of her videos I will certainly watch it ;) Also, this inspired me to look up these deep sea brine pools. Some while ago I saw something about those in a documentary series called "Blue Planet" , but that one was about the oceans in general. I just found a video titled The Secret Life of Brine Pools from Natural Worls Facts, and I will watch it right now. I will report back later if it is any good, but it does look promising. Edit: OK, that video is immensely informative and quite amazing, unless you can't handle the voice-over that pretty much sounds like from a *Dark Souls* cutscene.

[@laurenfaulk4637]

That girl is Lindsay Nikole, she’s a zoologist on TikTok and KZbin and that “ugly” thing she said she would let slide is a deep sea telescope fish and is one of her favorite creatures, she says that if that’s a face only a mother could love then maybe he’s my son. She does a series on her channel called wtf is that

[@dude157]

His channel (Casual Geographic) is fantastic and i watch every one of his videos.

[@NoProtocol]

I’m loving the channel so far! Informative and funny

[@donlunn792]

Here in the UK, we had a dolphin that turned up in Chesil beach at Portland. UK. People used to try and swim with him. But he would get between the swimmers and the shore. Which was very disconcerting. And apparently his appendage was exposed. Eventually people began to realise that this was a problem. The “Authorities “ stopped people swimming with him. And eventually he went away.

[@oldmanmerc]

I started swimming with wild dolphins before KZbin existed so I didn’t know better lol. Still love interacting with them.

[@oscars6287]

You are my go-to channel to learn from random "had not thought of" topics but extremely interesting. One personal thought is I can't think of another being other than humans, that believes fear has to be "overcome" rather than correctly managed. In this quest to "overcome" fear, we tend to over-romanticize relationships to suddenly find ourselves in some deep trouble.

[@SirLunchAL0t]

The biggest waterfall in the world is also underwater. The underwater river below the Amazon river is much larger than the Amazon itself.

[@zebedeemadness2672]

Regarding the flies and zebras, the zebra stripes trip-out the biting flies and botflies, making it hard for the flies to focus for there landing.

[@garybabcock489]

Hi! I’ve seen some of their videos on the channel in the past, I like it as well (:

[@zebedeemadness2672]

Regarding Octopi, not my words so, [Quote] The alternative plural "octopi" is considered grammatically incorrect because it wrongly assumes that octopus is a Latin second declension "-us" noun or adjective when, in either Greek or Latin, it is a third declension noun. [Unquote]

[@BennoWitter]

My favorite YT channels where you can learn stuff are CGP Grey and Jay Foreman. You might to check them out and pick a video with a topic you find interesting. CGP Grey has a wide range of topics and Jay Foreman has a lot of geography videos and videos dealing with things in London. Both are very well researched and very entertaining.

[@bararobberbaron859]

And yeah, there are some native tribes that have beliefs tied to white moose, it's actually a plotpoint in Dexter (The reboot season) where a white moose is killed.

[@fetamean]

I think in the documentary Blackfish (highly recommended) I can't be sure if it's from it but I remember someone talking about how they watched a dolphin hold its breath underwater INTENTIONALLY until it died. It unalived itself. The poor thing.

[@cspaikido]

Dolphins are very hit or miss. They've also been known to save people as well.

[@oliverbayley3509]

I would be really interested to know more about you. Will you do a Q&A at any point?

[@Asher-Tzvi]

Octopae is the plural for Octopus. Octopus comes from the Latin, which is a highly inflected language. Octopus comes from the Latin 2nd declension and has the nominative singular ending “-us.” So to make it plural, you’d have to use the 2nd declension nominative plural ending, which is “-ae.” So it’s “Octopae”

[@wafflekopf9429]

Has anybody recommended CGP Gray's video on horses vs. zebras yet? It's part of a summary of one of the ideas explored in Diamond's Guns, Germs and Steel as well as an amusing look at the differences between taming/domesticating animals. BTW, "octopodes" is the 'proper' plural form of "octopus" for fans of linguistic prescriptivism. For everybody else, "octopuses" is just fine.

[@SalamiSelimbo]

The cave stuff with dolphins. The face ripping with chimps. Check out the possible origins of octopus, maybe you can add this as number three. They’re smart. Scary smart. Only a few years alive is why I think they aren’t the dominant species.

[@petrochemicals8]

On the other hand...I know several stories of my country which is 60%sea that(wild) dolphins have saved many times people from sank boats especially pregnant women either protecting them from sarks for days by rounding them or keep them on surface by pushing them because they've got the ability to detect babies and internal organs knowing that we're mammals that we need to breathe just like them. No mention that dolphins are by far my most favourite animals... I've also heard about their aggression but depends on previous misbehaviour by men ...just like elephants!

I've swam with wild dolphins in a place called Monkey Mia in Western Australia. Mother dolphins let their babies come right up to us and gave us an escort. This was in the 90s as a teenager, before it got banned and the whole place tuned into a tourist trap. We were allowed to park the caravan right on the beach front.

I agree with you that these animals shouldn't be kept in captivity. It's very messed up to think they live in very cramped conditions and spend their lives performing for someone's profit, it is known that it has a very large negative effect on their mental health. There is an interesting documentary called 'Blackfish' about orcas being kept in captivity and an incident where one attacked and killed its trainer out of anger, they are very intelligent animals.

[@mattp.6660]

Yeah I don't trust dolphins, chimps, or squirrels. I feel like squirrels are plotting something behind the scene. The people at the local park where I live always feed the squirrels, so they're used to humans. I went over there with my niece, gave her some change for the ice cream truck , and as she was walking over I saw a squirrel jump her like it was a planned robbery and run off with some some of her quarters. Never trusted a squirrel again after that. I can only ponder what he used those quarters for, maybe for ice cream.

Spongebob isn't the best example. On the one hand, creator Stephen Hillenburg was a marine scientist who would utilize his many years of education to observe intriguing details. On the other hand, it's a comedy series and he would deliberately insert things into the Spongebob scripts that literally cannot happen underwater. Casual Geographic's other video on how evolution played dirty with the octopus is a roller coaster of emotions.

"On the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much - the wheel, New York, wars and so on - whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time.

My personal opinion is leave animals alone, even pets if they are not yours. I have seen to many people bitten or scratched by a friend's pet. For sure leave wild animals alone, just let them go their own way and give them space when you encounter them. Here in Florida, I get lots of opportunities to leave animals alone both in the ocean and on land. Just my opinion and so far it has worked for me, I leave them alone and they leave me alone. Even though I had an alligator take a fish I had caught, that was exciting.
