  1. I have tiny spiders in my home that are about 1 - 3 mm long. I thought they were tiny! You can hardly see them. I can imagine their food species are even smaller!

  2.  @pikachusucks5151  Absolutely, why wouldn't I be? These birds are an important part of the natural ecology. Seeing it means my backyard is healthy for wildlife.

  3. I live in Western Australia, it's called quokka soccer and people get charged fairly often committing this vile crime against these endangered marsupials! These idiots think it's funny to film/upload online, thankfully those who recognise them almost always call wildlife authorities... believe me some people do worse than kick them 😕

  4.  @NoBeats_  My comment got removed 😕 YT doesn't like me. I explained about 'musth' a condition male elephants can get when looking for a mate.

  5. I was happy to see an Australian butcher bird in my backyard just yesterday! I haven't seen one for months.

  6. We have 100+ million dogs on Earth so there are unlimited dog videos. We are running out of big cats and most other wildlife 😕

  7. The platypus is like a 'missing link' animal. It is a monotreme. It lays an egg and when the puggle hatches, it drinks its mother milk!

  8. I patted a zebra at the Perth zoo when I was a kid, I also got too close to the Rhesus monkeys and got my hair pulled! Oh and a chimpanzee spat on me, I was staring at him, sucking on a chain so he had a lot..

  10.  @WeAre1Legion  Not the tiny spiders around my place. They never swarm but are solitary most of the time. I'm not sure about this Columbian spider but I can't recall hearing about a spider that swarms to take down larger prey. They don't have a nest or colony to feed, usually just themselves.

  11.  @youtubestudiosucks978  lol, they are so tiny, a swarm of 1000s would be smaller than my big toe! They do fine catching gnats in their tiny webs. I have a couple of much larger spiders around. I'm in Australia!

  12. At least an aye-aye can breathe easily. It is disturbing that people have bred a dog that has trouble just breathing. They are cute-ugly though.

  13. @kellyhoward6941  Same! I didn't swear, insult anyone or say anything offensive. At least half of my comments disappear, lately. It's actually quite disheartening..

  15. Plus they are huge!

  16.  @discordiacreates6669  Yep they are adult spiders. I see them all of the time. I don't mind sharing the house with spiders for insect control but I have to clean up after some! (spider poop! 😆) I do take spiders and other insects outside every day though because otherwise the house would get infested..

  17.  @discordiacreates6669  I love animals and insects are animals too! These tiny little spiders are so small so I can't tell if they are cute like a jumping spider.. I have had jumping spiders in the kitchen with iridescent pink and green bodies! Just beautiful. One got tame and my son accidentally squashed it on the bench with groceries 😕 sometimes I'm not sure if the jumpers are wanting to live inside or if they are just lost? I allowed a huntsman to live inside once but there was not enough food for it. I noticed it's abdomen was shrivelled. We have a pet dragon (pogora minor minor) so I had live crickets on hand. I gently caught it and put a teaspoon of water in the jar and it drank thirstily, then I gave it a cricket and allowed it time to kill it (though it just grabbed it instantly) I released it down the back and it ran off on 7 legs as it was holding the cricket with a front leg! I wish I had filmed this spider rescue..

  18.  @discordiacreates6669  You sound like a kindred spirit. I wish there were more of us. I would never use any insect spray or pesticide because it is not species specific, it kills everything! Flies and mosquitoes are very annoying but I won't poison them because they are bird and bat food and the poison gets transferred to them and then into whatever eats the birds/bats etc. It's becoming a huge, mostly silent problem (not many people really care around nature in their surrounding environment) I am shocked that anyone can just go into a store and buy a 2 litre bottle of 'bug' spray and go and drench their whole house and property! It can't be good for people either.

  19.  @discordiacreates6669  Thankyou DC, I too try and live a lifestyle with as little pressure on our surrounding environment as possible. It's the least I can do but it is actually a rather tricky lifestyle! (people rely on fossil fuels) I am of the train of thought that because in my country, 1/3 of all food goes to waste, so that is 1/3 of the forest and bushland was cleared for nothing! They can't grow crops in a forest! Also the nutrients in the soil gets used up so they have to keep clearing more vegetation. Fertiliser can only fo so much and it can be a problem too, as can heavy duty herbicides/pesticides etc. I just looked up 'kindred spirit', it means - a person who has the same opinions, feelings and interests as you. 😊

  20.  @discordiacreates6669  You are definitely clued on about this topic. I think one of the main reasons we are looking to 'life on Mars' type exploration, is because we are eventually going to run out of space on Earth! We swarm like ants. I don't think it will be good for us long term, to live in underground shelter type dwellings on Mars!? We won't have access to oxygen or water there! The gravity thing amongst other major problems. I believe people that stay on the International space station for a few months get aches and pains from lack of gravity. It affects your brain, blood, muscles and other internal organs. What happens once we multiply on Mars? It's a terrifying thought and I think we've already used (and wasted) over half of the available natural resources on our own, precious planet. We are out of control now and imagine the pressure going forward.. 8 billion, 15 billion, 30 billion..50..

  21.  @discordiacreates6669  I couldn't agree more. I'm devastated that our latest extinction crisis is wholly a human affair. We have lost around 70% of our nature in the last 60 - 70 years. That is not natural! All of our beautiful and amazing species are all becoming critically endangered. Too late for many.. animals can make a comeback from over-hunting (like marine species - whales, seals and penguins) but not if they have no habitat. Some species have so little numbers left that they can no longer be genetically diverse and are doomed as a species (the Javan rhinoceros) We used to have a few million lions, now they are extinct in much of their former range. There were 400,000 lions left at the start of the 1900's, 200,000 in the 1970's and now there are approximately 25,000 lions in all of Africa! Edit. I like people too, it's just a shame we are destructive as a species. I get enraged with casual cruelty and don't get me started on litter! I picked it over 60 cigarette butts from a bush track just yesterday, I specifically returned to pick them up. Also (to others) you don't have to like animals but please don't harm them.

  22. Some orcas pulled a pile of fishing net from an entangled humpback whale a short while ago...

  23. There is footage of Asian elephants sliding down a hill to get to the bottom, it was a well used 'track'.. Also I've seen a horse eating so many mangoes fallen from a tree, that it was staggering drunk from the fermented fruit! It was the towns police horse and he escaped again and come back to eat more a week later!

  24. We have fossilised and mummified specimens carbon dated at much later than 40,000 years... only a few 100 years old, they are found in cave systems, along the Nullarbor Plains for example. The thylacine has not been extinct on the mainland for 40,000 years!

  25. I recall film actress, Sharon Stone, ex-husband Phil Bronstein was bitten on the foot by a Komodo dragon, at an LA zoo! Also actor Billy Bob Thornton said that the Komodo dragon is the most useless animal in the world and should be eradicated...🤔 nah, I prefer big lizards over obnoxious and ignorant people...

  26. It took 2-3 thousand years for the dingo (an Asian dog species) to eat every thylacine, 'devil' and marsupial lion (and possibly the last of the mega-fauna?) on the mainland Australia, introduced during human trade. The dingo never made it to Tasmania. It is farmers dogs, running in packs that attack sheep (same as the dingo packs on the mainland) Today, on the mainland, most dingoes themselves are not pure, having many breeds of modern domesticated dogs in there DNA. The story of the thylacine is truly a tragic one and I must point out that the film of thylacine in colour is false, it has only recently been 're-touched' in colour, the original film is in black and white.

  28. ​ @NostraFnDamus  quokkas are very, very rare on the mainland now, too.. I'm in Western Australia (born/bred) so I have visited Rottnest Island about 20 times, just to see the quokkas of course 😊

  29.  @declaringpond2276  Yes, people have allowed domestic pets to breed out of control. There are millions of homeless dogs and cats. Every shelter in the US is bursting with unwanted and dumped pets.

  31. Foxes scream in the Australian bush, they sound like a woman in serious distress, people actually call the cops! Some hopefuls believe they are hearing a thylacine 😄 especially in the SW of Western Australia where the 'tiger' is thought to have a holdout... I have read many accounts of long dead Tasmanian people who suggest the Tassie tiger was mostly mute but could emit coughs, grunts and other 'strange' noises.

  33. More people are attacked by a pet dog in the US each year, 50+ are mauled to death..5 million bitten, 1000s suffer life changing injuries.. you could dedicate a a whole show to domestic animal attacks

  34. I was a kid, staring at a chimpanzee, sucking on a chain in its enclosure, well it decided to spit at me, with incredible accuracy! It must have been 1/2 a cup of greenish goo...

  36. I laughed too hard at the human baby falling. I've had 3 babies and I still laughed..

  37. When you see a newborn antelope or gazelle with a big cat, it is not going to end well because they cannot feed the baby the milk it needs. A newborn baby mammal needs the milk of its own kind.

  38. Oh, elephants get very horny, too. The males go into 'musth' which can make them stampede looking for a female. This reddish liquid called temporin drips down their face​. They can have heightened aggression, restlessness and irritability... @stellamariss3335

  41. One beluga was even accepted into a pod of narwhals! It was pretty scarred up from living with them but stayed as it is a better life in a pod than solo

  42.  @tonymarselle8812  Because the narwhal have a huge long 'tusk' coming from their mouth, the beluga got cut up but so do the other narwhal just from swimming together

  43. Protecting their eggs/young, crows even steal chicken eggs!

  44. They can defend themselves in the water against a serious dog attack too. I've seen footage of a pitbull swimming out to get one and the capybara nearly drowned it trying to survive. Half the comments were 'I'd kill that capybara if it did that to my dog' personally, I can't stand people who let their dogs attack and kill or severely injure local wildlife.
