  1. Never heard of swamp rabbits before today, but I guess rabbits are everywhere man didn't extinguish them?

  2. The nest looks rather special as well! What's it made of?

  3. Melani Wright It's incredibly neat, though. The lichen or small green leaves seems placed like roof tiles meant to protect against rain...

  4. Melani Wright A crow will lie flat down on a sunny pavement or sandy ant-highway, puff out its feathers and stay there for quite a while with the ants crawling all over it. Only when they come too close to its eyes, will it shake its head to avoid contact. It's the strangest sight. The first time I saw this behavior, I thought the crow was injured, lying flat, with feathers in disarray and wings spread out. Then I saw it picking up ants with the beak and literary placing them deep within the feathers. As I understand it's supposed to remove parasites?

  5. Chris K I don't think wildlife should be killed. But farmers tend to kill everything that might hamper their production.

  6. Well, you didn't actually answer you title-question ...

  7. "Humanely destroyed"?!?! Just hack off the head, leave it and let local wildlife deal with the remains, controlfreaks!

  8. Rabbits? I think it's hares.

  13. Melani Wright Also, I see from your channel that you notice things. Have you ever seen a crow taking an ant-bath?

  14. Melani Wright I know wrasses do cleaning, but it turns out many coral creatures do: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleaner_fish

  18. Michael Seraph Yeah, lol, but I feel there's a difference between their presumed purpose and their actual substance.

  20. Nature on PBS Why would the narrator claim the necessary loss of pups for Blackspot to produce milk? Dogs and human females tend to synchronize their estrus cycles when living together and both display pseudo pregnancy. False pregnancy, or pseudopregnancy, is a term used to denote a common condition in a non-pregnant female dog that is showing symptoms of pregnancy, lactation, or nursing, without producing puppies. The affected female dog shows these symptoms about a month or two after her estrus (heat) is over. A hormonal imbalance is thought to play a central role in affected female dogs. The condition may last for more than a month and sometimes it's necessary to provide a wide collar to prevent the dog from self nursing. Is there any reason to believe wolves exempt from this condition?

  22. Arctic foxes don’t use the earth magnetic field for their pouncing, what utter nonsense!

  24. I bet a wolf, a fox and a polarbear would do likewise.

  25.  manstein himmler  Yes, as children we called it sand-bathing and I thought only sand was involved. Only when I recently saw it up close did I realize how savvy these crows really are...

  26. Mr J. Kottari I'd like some rabbits to be wild in Denmark as well.

  29. Brian Visser Killing is killing as long as you're quick about it. "Humane destruction" sounds borderline insane in its self-contradiction. Human exterminator 🕴: "Okay, listen up, you boas! We're going to exterminate you all, like a pestilence, but not to worry – we'll be humane about it!" 🕴 Boas 🐍: "Sure, human, aren't you always? Btw, do you think it's feasible or are you just boasting? But it's a good, new job-opportunity. You'll probably see generations of specialized boa killers hard at work here for centuries to come..." 🐍

  30. Well, that didn't look dangerous at all 😱

  31.  @suemiller9506  No, they don’t! What good would it do them? They listen with their rotating, funnel shaped ears which they turn like directional antennae. They also tilt their heads, because with one ear closer to the ground, the lateral sound-difference is accentuated and the prey's location better pinpointed. But I’ll believe they use a magnetic sense for mapping out their hunting grounds in the ever changing snowscape which presents very few visible markers. Most animals have magnetic censor cell in the roof of the nose. Even humans have them. Some journalist read a scientific article somewhere and misunderstood is my guess.  That happens a lot.

  32. Evolution is normally taken to mean genetic selection of DNA genes over generations. But there’s not enough generations in 12 years to evolve much that way.  What we have here is the result of the much faster working epigenetics, a switch to more suitable, phenotypic traits already present in the form of dormant or suppressed genes.

  36. Mr J. Kottari No, not hares. Those we have in abundance. But rabbits are different. They tend to establish colonies and are much easier caught and domesticated.

  38. Jake Sangria Humans in general, not so much you specifically, I'd guess 😂 But I didn't and don't advocate human depopulation. That was the paranoid deduction from someone else!

  39. Grigori Oh, really? Well, the Danes managed exactly that, to extinguish rabbits completely. Only on a few small island were controlled populations allowed to persist...
