Still, they are much less disturbing and irritating than the "obnoxious", amphibian killing Epomis ground beetles...
I'm English by DNA! But generics are found throughout Europe, America & Australia! It's kind of confusing but so interesting, dont let the history washers bother you.
What happened to the old wildlife garden? That was started - well I suppose more than 20 years ago.
Very curious from Europe. Our city department has planted sustainable and insect friendly shrubs instead of annual flowers and grass in public parks. It's much nicer looking and we can learn how to adapt our own balconies and gardens.
Looks insane, really cool
Really wanted to see one in a smoking jacket! Wombats next? OK, I'm done now, couldn't help myself! I didn't know mole rats could physically change their shape, that's very interesting. Has much research gone into how that happens? How long it takes etc.? I'd love to know more!
I found this so interesting even if it did make my views on the what I thought were cute Meerkats then realising they are thugs. The naked mole rat is this found in the UK I know meerkats don’t live here in the UK other than in Zoos which I despise. However was not sure about the naked mole rat. I love all these videos because I learn so much from your videos especially as I cannot get up to London due to my age and disability so thank you all so very much.
Are you aware IF this is the natural history museum in London??
@@TheSecondOofysorry of course it is.
No mole rats in the UK, I believe they're mainly found in Africa. I understand the frustration of not getting out due to disability, horrid isn't it? I used to go to the NHM as often as I could when I lived in Milton Keynes, but now I'm further away the journey is much more difficult and recovery time longer so I haven't been in over a decade. I hope yours is manageable and you're not in too much pain. Keep fighting!
Actual monster under the bed.
Hope someone can help, I’ve picked up a random woodlouce to feet to my pet bearded dragon, she’s gone to eat the woodlouce and dropped it and loads of babies have come pouring out I’m assuming the woodlouce was pregnant, so I left them in there, how long and will they survive in the heat of that bearded dragon home and will they grow and thrive
Ok, that is a sight out a horror movie... umm...RUN!
Well I bought British wildlife Photography awards. I found myself underwhelmed with the quality of the images. The group that I follow on Flickr I suppose 10 people. Their images are so much better than the images in this book. There is one man I believe he had five images in this book. I will not mention his name he’s not a bad photographer but how is it possible for five of his images to be published in this Book out of. 13,000 images. He has the image of a deer in there it’s very good but there is a woman I follow uses exactly the same gear as he does but in my opinion has deer shorts much better than him. I conclude I enjoyed the book got good ideas from it. But it is not a true reflection of the high standard of wildlife photography in Great Britain.
They would play a very important roll as compose for the dirt and soil 😊
Saw it a couple of weeks ago and it looks fantastic! I can’t wait to see it when it’s ready 🎉
Hope you enjoy it! We're looking forward to the opening too!
They are new wasps just metamorphosis
Spider "come closer and I am going to kill you" Gil "OK but I'm going to to take this picture and tell people not to kill you"
I found the editing very hard to follow but after many rewinds I’m caught up
Anything that eat roaches has an important role in the ecosystem
I don't like the AI Natural History Museum. This is green screen kids, but for adults.
No there not bad they onky drink 1 tabld spoon of blood
Why does this spider appear to have six (rather than eight) legs? Are two pairs positioned right beside each other, giving the illusion that it is one?
Simples! How am I the first one to make that reference?! 😹
We were waiting for it 😉
@@NaturalHistoryMuseum Glad you weren't disappointed! 😉😁
😳 Now I get why plastic bags are so bad.
Because they are super tasty?
A lot of animals kill and sometimes eat their young. In a lot of cases it may be when there's not enough food for any or all of them to survive. And if a male lion takes over a pride, they often kill the existing cubs to bring the females back into heat. Fortunately humans are far more civilised than that, and only kill kids for money or power. All other reasons merely being smokescreen for the main two.
African Pygmy Hedgehogs do this as well, but not because of a matriarchy. They do it out of safety, say, if the hoglet won't quiet or she has too many to feed/care for. If in captivity, it is often because of external stressors like loud noises. I did not know about meerkats though! What a fascinating world we live in.
Wait.. what? 😅
I thought that was edited
thats from 100s of years of fooling around with them at 3 feet away
Very Cool, I never want to see or think of this again.
I’d rather hear the Lynx than a fisher cat.
i would've lit a match to my bed tf
Whos discust🫣 👇
Hell. That’s the answer.
Who knew being small would be a major evolutionary advantage in times of hardship
He was in the Amazon with my mom taking photos of spiders under the bed just before she died
Before you all head for the door: I've learned there are two main types of figs: caprifigs (wild figs) and edible figs (common figs). Caprifigs are pollinated by fig wasps, and the process can leave dead wasps inside the fruit. However, many common figs, such as the ones typically grown for eating, do not require pollination by wasps and can produce fruit parthenocarpically (without fertilization). These varieties do not have wasps inside them. Examples of common figs that do not need wasp pollination include the Black Mission, Brown Turkey, and Kadota figs.
Chill they just need some Mewing
yeah youre a real saint a good guy.. simping for a spider lmao
