The reason Okapi and other mammals eat their placentas after birth is to avoid attracting predators. The smell of the bodily fluids that come with it are magnets for predators so by consuming the placenta, they avoid detection. Cats do it too

Okapi: "you ARe MINe"

The okapi has a pretty mythical look but the tapir is pretty interesting too, I've had the chance to scratch the back of one when I've volunteered at a zoo, they love it. Maybe you can check them out sometimes.

Beautiful animal & i can say they DEFINITELY emphasized how unique their tongues r from how much the titan version violated tf outta poor Armin in the AoT finale earlier this week👅🤣

Never heard of this animal before, came here because of AOT

Here after the newest AOT chapter

I first learned about this animal in sixth grade and it became my favorite animal for a year. My family's wildlife books are all pretty old, like from the 60's and 70's, so the okapi was a lesser known and mysterious beast back then, and that's what I loved about it. Kids today are so lucky. They have so much up-to-date knowledge at their fingertips.

okapi give back arminnnn

I've only recently learned of these creature's existence and I already know your illustration of them will be godly.

It's an absolute miracle they're not extinct. Am very sorry to hear about the massacre in that shelter. Bless them souls

2:15 Armin noooooo

Ah, so that's a okapi, no wonder why Mikasa didn't know wtf is that, they don't have those in Paradis... ... And i see you, r34 artist that came here for reference. Don't (please)

The consumption of the placenta by an herbivore mother isn't unique to the Okapi. As I understand it, it's an evolutionary adaptation to protect newly born young from predators.

Whenever you see someone start a sentence with "as I understand it" the speaker/writer is indicating that they may not have all the information on the subject at time of writing, and are recognizing amd willing tp accept that they may ultimately be proven wrong about the subject at any time. That said, what research have you done on the matter of why herbivores eat the after birth of there newborns?

@MTrefiner You are probably 30 or older. A lot of older people can't hear these sounds. It's just like old TVs: my parents/grandparents don't hear the loud earraping hissing noise emitted by those things. At 1:57 there is a very high-pitched sound, so she definitely meant 15 kHz. So the misspeak is the infra/ultrasound part.

@anonb4632

Shill for Science You're very cute with your generalisations there... but it would have been cleverer not to make that kind of point on a video about okapi. Okapi were actually cryptids for a number of years, because many scientists would not believe travellers' & natives' stories about them, while fringe elements took them more seriously. Some cryptids are plain & obvious BS, but others have been subsequently proven to exist to the satisfaction of scientific authorities. Of course, the usual tactic is to shift the goal posts and to claim that the okapi etc were never cryptids in the first place, but that's a form of intellectual dishonesty. So, no, not all cryptids turn out to be imaginary. Some end up being recognised, or even identified as something else (there is a strong case for saying yeti are a type of bear for example, or that sea serpent sightings originate from the likes of oar fish etc.) Other examples include the giant squid, coelacanth, mountain gorilla, the Hoan Kiem Turtle and the platypus (which British initially thought was a hoax when first brought back from Australia as a stuffed specimen.)

@anonb4632

5 жыл бұрын

Shill for Science You obviously have come across little cryptozoology other than bad documentaries on commercial stations. One could say the same about many so called science documentaries on such channels which make science look a hell of a lot more fun and less tedious than it often is (not to mention less time consuming). Cryptozoology is the search for "hidden animals". The starting point of this can be folklore/reports, or apparent physical evidence. If the cryptid turns out to be a known animal, then that does not invalidate the search for it. In some cases, they can be proven to be rare colour variants, giants/dwarves and so on. In some cases, they may prove to be animals long thought to be extinct like the peccary. In other cases, discovery of remains of Homo Floriensis or Gigantopithecus raises the question of whether such beings lived recently enough to enter ancient human mythology. Some have suggested that some yeti stories also represent sightings of the orang utan or a close relative in the past or recent times, which would be interesting as it has been assumed that their former/present range was/is much smaller. There is an old sceptical cliché that "the plural of anecdote is not data". In actual fact, ornithologists in the UK, regularly use bird surveys and reports from the public to try and keep track of rare species. The RSPB runs such a survey every year. The Hoan Kiem turtle was very much a cryptid for years. It was rarely seen, and unconfirmed and known mainly from anecdotes and legend. It also lived bang in the middle of a built up area making its existence less likely. For a number of years, its best evidence was some dodgy amateur footage.

Thanks for making these videos

I love okapis for their charming stripes and coloration and their artful form. I also tend to love animals that are lesser known, as long I like their looks, rather then liking animals that everybody likes, horses, cats, bleh bleh bleh. So with the okapi I got better then I could ask, a lesser known animal that also happens to have the most aesthetic form and coloration that I could imagine. That's why I hate us humans, for what we do to them.
