I feel like it's important to point out that it's not a good idea to feed manatees fresh water (water from bottles, hoses, etc.). On top of being, you know, illegal, it makes them more likely to actively seek out people, which is not good when they try to get chummy with our boat propellors

This is literally the most respectful comparison between Down Syndrome and chromosomal triplication in animals I have ever seen. I hate when videos say an animal has Down Syndrome. DS is a human only condition, but chromosomal triplication can happen in any species. Being close to the 21st in humans and having some of the same symptoms (low immune system, cataracts and heart defects) is a valid comparison. Thank you for what you do!!

My girlfriend in Florida used to have a condo with a small marina right beside it. During the winter Manatees would hang out in the marina because the water stayed fairly warm and we would sit on her balcony and just watch them for hours doing their Manatee’ish stuff. There is something so chill and cool about those animals. They would just vibe in the warm water and sometimes we would feed them cabbage.

Despite there being so many kinds, I rarely hear people talk about them (aside from folks who are already animal/bug info fan people to begin with). They've always creeped me out quite a bit.

Some slight corrections: The Virginia Opossum is the only marsupial native to North America, but it isn’t the only one in the Americas. Not by far. There exists many species of opossum native to South America, as well as my personal favorite marsupial, the Monito Del Monte, which is more closely related to Australian marsupial than it is to its opossum neighbors. The manatee’s closest (living) relative is the dugong, although the relatives you mentioned are their closest (living) non-sirenian relatives.

Another fun opossum fact. They have terrible eyesight, but an amazing sense of touch. When you see an opossum with their mouth open, they're feeling for pressure and temperature changes in the air trying to find predators. They're also completely immune to rabbies. So when you see an opossum with its mouth open, no need to worry about rabbies, they're just making sure you're not a threat.

Love the Metroid Prime music. So appropriate given the subject.

So when I rounded the counter and seen one of these predator looking SOB's in my path I literally jumped over the counter like I was a gold metal winning gymnast. Anyway I had no clue what it was so I caught it in a cup and spent the whole day asking every single customer that came thru the door if they knew what it was and to my surprise no one knew, so I was starting to think I discovered a new species or something until later when Google crushed my delusions...So if u have never seen a "mole cricket" you should give it a quick search and you'll understand why I almost abandoned my job to an alien looking bug that neither looks like a mole or a cricket and has a face only his mother could love...

I wish I knew about you when my kids were in school, they would have loved it and learned so much easier. I share your videos too them now as a adults. Awesome and love your sense of humor.

wow, the last part was probably my favorite. You do so well with these videos. I really enjoy them.

It's wildly EASY to have never heard a word, and always just read it, and pronounce it wrong. Mad respect for calling attention to the error, fixing it, and moving on with the show, my dude.

This guy is awesome. Absolutely hilarious commentary, and one of the best parts about it is in every episode he's always holding his little mini microphone, I love it.

I had to stop the video because I was laughing so hard. I didn't want to miss the rest when it started out so amazingly. Your little inserted correction was perfect!

Holding the bird and moving its body is so awesome and that bird before it opened its mouth is the coolest bird ever.

Additional fact about opossums, they're nearly immune to rabies. They can still get it but the disease almost never develops into its symptomatic phase in opossums because their body temperature is too low for the virus to really get going.

Thank you so much for acknowledging autism acceptance month (a heads-up for next time: us autistic individuals do not usually call it autism awareness month as that name was coined by a rather abusive and toxic group called autism speaks) thank you again I enjoyed the video! 💝💝💝

A karyatid is a figure, typically female, used as columns to hold roofs or porticoes like the parthenon in ancient Greece. There's a very famous Rodin statue titled soemthing like "The Karyatid Crumpling Under Her Stone" or something, that probably sparked your memory. Great video as always!!

WOW, I'm 40yrs old and lived in the country all my life and just found out today from a young gentleman on KZread that there is a difference between an opossums and possums. That just blew my mind to be honest. lol. Always seen the two different animals and knew they was obviously a different species but never knew that fact.

The last one had me in tears! That was so sad/wholesome

Your videos are amazing. Your narration is awesome. We need more of your content, in my opinion. Most excellent work, sir!

Had to work with an opossum to help get it used to being around humans. She was injured and became blind, so our wildlife hospital couldn't release her, and instead she became a wildlife ambassador. I was trained to be around and how to handle the ambassadors, and one of the most important jobs is to just hang out with the animals, to keep them acclimated to humans. This is actually super dangerous, hence why we are trained. However, our opossum took a liking to me, more so than any of the other people who worked with her. No idea why. She would sometimes climb into my lap, and when I was out sick for a day, she give me the most gentle bites the next day to let me know she was angry with me. Opossums are so sweet and they get such bad rap.

Pick up your cross and follow Jesus! The world is quickly headed for destruction, and sooner or later you will have to sit at the judgement seat and give an account for your actions. Belief in messiah alone is not enough to grant you salvation - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36). Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life! - Revelation 3:20. Contemplate how the Roman Empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years going back to Babylon and before, C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate once you start a relationship with God tho. Can't get a response from God? Fasting can help increase your perception and prayer can help initiate events. God will ignore you if your prayer does not align with His purpose (James 4:3) or if you are approaching Him when "unclean" (Isaiah 1:15, Isaiah 59:2, Micah 3:4). Stop eating food sacrificed to idols (McDonald's, Wendy's etc) stop glorifying yourself on social media or making other images of yourself (Second Commandment), stop gossiping about other people, stop watching obscene content etc and you should get a response. Have a blessed day!

@@Rekkuza-eu6sp You're probably a bot, but on the off chance you happen to see this comment, I hope you know that this isn't the way to spread any sort of word. It's aggressive and focused on damnation, not compassionate and focused on love, which was kind of the whole point of Jesus' teachings. Plus, human psychology in general is pretty hard-wired to reject this approach. It's like trying to herd flies with a fly swatter instead of honey. It legitimately _only_ drives people further away. I feel like you're probably doing this in a vain attempt to prostrate yourself before your god to make yourself look better, or you're looking for people to feel superior to, but vanity is a sin as far as I'm aware, so if you're really trying to live according to the Bible's principles, I'd suggest perhaps not doing it this way.
