Not only did he come back, but he came back as hilarious/vulgar as when he left, and with one of my favorite topics. The legend has truly returned, hopefully for good.

Fun Fact the Eastern Copperhead snake has had 26 different scientific names over the years! Also love that Sam is back and mentioned a cryptid in his first new video!
My theory is that Sam travelled the world and attained spiritual enlightenment then saw some random article about animal names, screamed I MUST KZread THIS NOW, abandoned his quest, and made this video.
T Rex was original Dynamosaurus Imperiosus, then another fossil was found called Tyrannosaurus Rex, and it took a long time to realize they were the same kind, and because T Rex just sounds so much cooler, they bent the rule to keep it over D. Imperiosus.

Your reaction to the donkey kong part was priceless
My favorite scientific names come from Austrian scientists. At the beginning of the 20th century, a Mr. Werner went from Austria to Australia (sic!) to classify stick insects. This proved to be harder than previously thought. When in 1912, he finally prevailed and was able to pin down the first species, he celebrated it by naming it "Denhama aussa", which is Austrian dialect for "We found him out". Proper German would have been "Den haben wir heraus", but it sounds better in dialect, he? Same goes for Mantispa aphavexelte. The couple U. and H. Aspöck found out that this critter was hitherto wrongly classified and thus put it into the genus Mantispa, which sounds similar, but is quite not Mantix, the same way as the insect does look like a mantix but is not a mantix. And because it was confused at first for the wrong genus, they named it "aphavexelte", which is a funny spelling for "eine verwechselte" (a confused one). Here we go. And we can improve upon Gorilla gorilla gorilla. The scientific name of the American bison is Bison bison (Bison) bison L. 1758.

Another fun fact is that Octopuses have 6 arms and 2 legs, no tentacles. Tentacles come in pairs and are described differently than other limbs. Squid and cuttlefish have eight arms plus a pair of feeding tentacles.
Absolutely worth it. He's still got it.
You did it teach. Unbelievable that he is back. So now I propose to take Sam, Terry and the goat oversimplified for a pimpin' historical and hysterical podcast. I know the two star pupils are busy af to get to talk to them. But come on guys how cool would that be? Or something more likely, like a mr Terry character in Sam's or Over's style that just says: nice one. Greetings from Germany have a good one. :)
I think naming things after either real life or fictional characters will confuse the fuck out of people in the future.
"Is that John Green?" now i will not stop thinking about this
Potential History also came back the other day with an excellent video about Japan's reason for surrender in WWII that you should definitely check out.
From a competitive standpoint zapdos is technically the best cause articuno and moltres both have a 4x weakness to rock making them ultra vulnerable to the ever present stealth rock threat but I personally love articuno
Mr. Terry right on the button with this one. Sam's video hasn't even been up 2 hours yet.
Fun fact: in German cephalopod means “Kopfüßer” witch is “Kopf” literally means head and “fuß” literally means foot so they are called head-footers.
Hey, zapose is my favorite too! Looking forward to seeingba special on Discovery about the Samosaurus in a few years lol
The return of the king in all his glory. also youre response time is impeccable lmao

The mnemonic device I always use for taxonomy is Large Dangerous Kangaroos Punching Children On Family Game Shows. You always start with Life because things like viruses exist. As said here though, in every taxonomic level we have suites of characteristics. The Domaine Eukarya for example is defined by large cells, a true nucleus and membrane bound organelles among other things. In taxonomy, the levels of life are: Domain Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species All animals follow this, but it's slightly different for various other types of life. What about us? Well Humans are: Domaine- Eukarya Kingdom- Animalia Phylum- Chordata Class- Mammalia Order- Primate Family- Hominidae Genus- Homo Species- sapien There are various other levels within these levels also said here. You have Super, Sub, Parv and Infra which are the most common you'll see. There are also Clades and Tribes. Primates for example have two extant Suborders, Haplorhini and Strepsirrhini. We are Haplorhines. Within the Suborder Haplorhini we have two Infraorders, Tarsiiformes and Simiiformes. We are Simiiformes. So in reality we can describe humans in much more detail like this. We are Eukaryotes, organisms made of one or more nucleated cells. We are Animals as we can't produce our own energy and have cell membranes instead of cell walls. We are Chordates because we have nerve chords. We are Vertebrates because our spinal chord is protected by our vertebrae and we are Mammals because we are covered in body hair, females of our species can produce milk and we have a four chambered heart. We are Eutherians because we have a bellybutton, indicative of our ability to give birth to live young. We are Primates as we have large brains relative to our body size, we have dexterous hands, flexible shoulders, and binocular color vision. We are Haplorhines, because we can't synthesize our own vitamin C, we have dry noses rather than wet, and we also don't have split lips although we do have the remnants of it. We are Simiiformes, anthropoid primates with complex social systems with which we communicate with others and we also have unique structures with regard our hind feet, teeth, orbits and an even larger brain to body ratio. We are Catarrhinis as we have nostrils pointing down, we have a 2-1-2-3 dental format, and we lack a prehensile tails. We are also Hominids as we have a Y shaped molar pattern, even more reduced caudal vertebrae, and an increased ability for bipedality. Now we reach Hominines. Hominins use tools. We all have a proto culture in which we teach tool use to our young, we all have these long gestational periods of 8-9 months and long parental care periods to nurture our big brains. Of the Hominins, we are of course the genus Homo, and we are the species sapien. I could explain all of these in far more detail as they are all defined by suites of characteristics, but I think you get the point. All of these levels have suites of characteristics that define them. I recomend a video by Gutsick Gibbon where she walks you through how Nested Hierarchies work.

I got way more emotional about his upload than I thought I would.
So get this: Same went on his short break to focus on school, just to finish it, and comeback to continue working on his own "School". Truly, Sam is a man of the Highest of Educations!

It's great to have Sam back! A shame you missed the joke at the end though.
You hopped on real quick like everyone else 🤣 I love it
Funny story: My older brother was playing Pokemon Leaf Green and got to the League. He got through Lorelei, but hit a brick wall with Bruno. He hands me his GBA and says "Do something". I had Onix, Machamp, and Hitmonlee to go through and only Zapdos to do it. Somehow, I beat Bruno and hand the GBA back to Chris, who says "Thank you, Ebi, O Great Escape Artist". Only for Agitha to pulverize him. He didn't properly stock up on potions and revives. To this day, he calls me Ebi or Houdini, in honor of that moment.
I think the best part of the Donkey Kong joke is your reaction to it, because it seems like YOU censored it and not Sam. 10/10 stars. ❤
Wow a new Sam Onella and then Mr. Terry is on it within two hours!
For fun i've been thinking of all crazy, hypothetically possible names Zoologist would have to come up with if a bunch of Mythical creates turned out to be real. Like if Dragons turned out to actually be real tomorrow, in exactly the same manner as they are portrayed in Fantasy full stop, what would their name(s) be? Since there already is a genus of real flying lizards that have that name.

One of my favourite double names is Homo Sapiens Sapiens, our subspecies, which literally means "the smart smart human", whereas the Neanderthals are Homo Sapiens Neandethaliensis, "the smart human from the Neander valley".
