@cookdislander4372 - don’t ever feel “dumb” beloved!! Life is so beautiful and there is so much to learn. I’ve been considered highly “verbose” since elementary school because I too just have a love and fascination for words and diction. I was also diagnosed with a rare genetic illness around the age of 10 and that led me to read medical dictionaries out of curiosity of my situation and to further comprehend what was happening to my body since my pediatricians oft felt I was “too young” to understand so that’s where my interest comes from primarily and after that I genuinely fell in love with descriptive verbiage and etymology. But I completely SUCK at math despite being an RN lol. I don’t think that makes me dumb, so don’t ever say that about yourself!!! There are so many beautiful, unexplored facets of life and such a huge plethora of subjects to study including all the animals I never knew about prior to this incredible channel.

as an Australian it's cool seeing someone talk about Bilbies!! they're really cute little guys and they're one of my favourite Australian animals! it's a shame they're endangered, because i'd hate to see such a lovely creature disappear, but luckily many organisations here are protecting them. they're Australia's little rabbits and i love them very much :)

Thanks for the bonus animal! Those tree kangaroos are beautiful. And the zoo I grew up with had both tapirs and civets. I always thought the tapirs seemed bored. They looked intelligent and curious, and I once got one to stand up on its hind legs to get close to me when I was leading a group of kids on a visit. I'm tall, and I leaned way down into its enclosure. It came over, stood up, and reached very close to my outstretched hand with that almost trunk-like nose. Then it sat back down and studied us while we started to walk on, before getting up and following us as we walked, putting its face as close to us as it could. The kids stopped and talked to it, and it seemed to listen to each of them, turning its head to and fro. That was a cool moment.

[@weloniko]

we had tapirs and civets too and I was allowed to hug a tapir as a child which probably wasn't very safe but i was unharmed and the tapir wasn't really unhappy

[@paulkinzer7661]

@@weloniko Cool! I picked up a baby beaver in a pen at the Minnesota State Fair when I was a kid. It was on display at the Department of Natural Resources building, and right next to the enclosure fence. I was about ten years old, and my friend dared me, jokingly. He did not expect me to do it (his subsequent expression told me that), but I had already been thinking about it, so the dare was like permission. There was a crowd all around the area, and we had squeezed our way to the front to see what was happening. So, when I reached in to pick it up, the crowd made a noise like, 'Oh, man, I'm not sure you should do that...' Not with words, but with a sort of collective questioning/doubtful sound. I didn't hesitate, and just picked it up. I figured it had to have been found as an orphan, and was used to human contact, so I wasn't surprised that it didn't mind being picked up. In fact, it snuggled right up to me, and the crowd made another sound, like, 'Awww, that's sweet.' But, almost immediately, a ranger, in his uniform with the Smokey Bear hat, appeared, with his arms crossed and a frown. His expression didn't change as I put the beaver down, nor as we started moving away. But he never said anything, so I like to think he didn't blame me. That little critter was so cute!

I didn't know the olm was real, I unironically thought the images of it I saw was some kind of sci-fi CGI project and paid it no heed. I also thought the Silky Anteater was some kind of Caterpillar, since the only pic I ever saw of them was that first image shown in the video. the Tapir was the only one I fully knew about. Like, I've seen *pictures* of every animal on this list, but I didn't know a bloody thing about any of them except the Tapir.

For me it was the cuscus and the Michael Jackson bird (I don’t remember the name). I’ve heard of all the rest and have seen Takin at a zoo near where I live. They’re pretty awesome animals.

[@lunablackheart855]

I have been obsessed with animals ever since I was a baby. My mom and grandma always brought home books on animals, and I even had the whole collection of those Wildlife Fact-Files that were collectible and placed in binders, and the Wildlife Treasury animal cards. There were lots and lots of animals in there that my schools never taught us even existed. I was lucky to have been encouraged to explore learning about nature and wildlife as a kid, not every child gets that from their parents or guardians. I think your list was very thoughtful. All very unique and not well heard about animals. I was stumped on 2. The Takin really threw me off, I thought it was some species of cow, like a Yak or something of that sort. The other I was disappointed in myself for not knowing what it was... the Vizcacha. It threw big chinchilla vibes, but I had no idea of its name. Oh, and I nearly called the Cuscus a Kinkajou but knew that wasn't right. Took me a few extra seconds to dig the right name from my cluttered mind. This was a really fun video for me. So many of these types of videos out there that are just not challenging enough. Well done, Sir, well done. 👏

[@phlagenjoyer]

I looked at the Latin name for cuscus, but it said ailurops bear. Then I changed it to “alurops ursi” (ursa is bear in Latin and ailurops bear translates to ailurops ursi), and it said bear’s claws. It then translated again to ungues ursi. Idk. That’s Latin for you.

As someone who lives in Australia, has loved, studied, worked with and just been interested in animals my whole life - here are my notes. Bear Cuscus - knew about cuscus, but not bear cuscus Takin - looks familiar, but not sure I specifically knew about it Tapir - yaaay. Very familiar. :D Also seen in zoos. Viscacha - knew it Silky Anteater - is that the same thing as a tamandua? Club-winged Mannikin - delightful! One of the mannikins I haven't seen before. BILBIES!!!!!! - being from Australia, and frequently doing ecological surveys in their habitat, I know bilbies very well. Ulm - yeah I know about these fellas. Brown Hyena - I recently listened to a podcast all about hyenas. Civet - awwww, coffee poo cats. Tree Roos - I'm an Aussie. Perth Zoo also has these on display.
