  1. ​ @darkdragoness5 It's worth putting in context that just because the behavior was observed doesn't make it common and definitely not worth condemning an entire species—like with the seal-violating otters, it was some juveniles, and may have been triggered by environmental stress.

  2. Handler: "Agent Otter, did you infiltrate the facility?" Otter: ::nods:: Handler: "Did you retrieve the Maguffin?" Otter: ::holds up artifact:: Handler: "Well done. Hand it to me so we can send it away for—" Otter: ::bares teeth, hisses, disappears underwater::

  3. I can't believe there's even a single case of Walt Disney vs. Mark Twain where the person in the right was the mouseman.

  4. No wild Orca has ever ended a human. Something that can't be said for Humpbacks, as one flexed a little too far and belly-flopped right onto a tourist boat. Not hating on Humpbacks—I'm Team George & Gracie—but we humans have zero reason to zero cause to slander them.

  5.  @DeadKraken  Yes, but it's important to differentiate between individual behavior and characterizations of species as a whole.

  6.  @CapriciousCobra  pretty sure he has. Maybe not a full video, but I'm, like, 75/25 that he covered them in one of his shorts compilations.

  7. In OP's defense, if your SO isn't up for rising from a dead sleep to watch Casual Geographic in rapt silence, it's time to dump their 🍑

  8. Found his obit in the NYT. That's wild that he was still alive when this video went up.

  9. 0:55 Fans of any of the three Star Trek animated series will recognize that immediately as an Aurelian. LLAP you courteous flight-capable hallucinations.

  10. You could get bitten and end up creating an operating system. This isn't a joke. Ever wonder why the Linux mascot is a penguin?

  11. Pretty sure that's Hvaldimir, the ex-Russian spy whale. I'm dead serious. Look it up.

  12. This reminds me when Hank Green asked marine biologist Jaida @soFISHtication_ Elcock how many catfish could fit in a minivan, and then they both cracked up at what a ridiculous question that was, given the range of catfish sizes.

  13. Dude, you got me before the video even started—seeing you had uploaded got me smiling ear-to-ear.

  14. My favorite fox story: back when people got newspapers delivered, a Falls Church, VA paperboy got in serious trouble as a bunch of residents of one neighborhood kept calling to complain that they weren't getting their copy of the Washington Post. The paperboy insisted he was delivering the papers and thought that someone must be stalking his route and stealing them for some reason. Well, I'm sure you can see where this is going, the thief was eventually found out: it was a father fox who was taking the papers back to his den so his pups could practice pouncing.

  15. Guarantee you that grad student thought through their life choices and their mounting student debt and thought to themselves, "I am, absolutely unironically, living my best possible life."

  16. Was shocked to see two bat species on that list, so I looked it up. Apparently male round-ears kills pups in order to mate with the mama. Meanwhile, mama spear-noses will meet up with other mamas for playdates and proceed to put unrelated male pups on tee shirts, and researchers aren't totally sure why.

  17. 3:25 I hadn't heard this slander being lobbed at the Raccoon Dog—just bats and pangolins. But guess what? We can settle this definitively, as there is exactly one species whose global migrations, poor hygiene and general aggressiveness is directly linked to the spread and mutation of the "Lite Beer" virus: Homo mother-hugging Sapiens

  18. For all of y'all that Simped John Oliver and voted the pūteketeke NZ's "Bird of the Century"—yeah, that's the Australian Crested Grebe of 7:02

  19. Okay, I knew none of these, but my confession-comment is that I had no idea that Mountain Goats Aren't Goats 🐐

  20. This story is still news. Front page of the Washington Post in May of 2023. Scientists are pretty sure it's revenge for... something. They're just not sure what.

  21. KPassionate also did a whole video breaking down the MK "Lutra" dossier. Her reactions were equal parts amused and perplexed.

  22. Brave of you to admit when you're wrong and apologize for slandering the Deep Sea Telescope Fish. Feel like 12m was a little excessive though... Wait, this isn't an apology for disrespecting Lindsay's son? Well to heck with that noise.
