You might think of national parks as a nice place to see a geyser, or a big ol’ canyon, but over the past 100 years, US national parks have produced some of the biggest, oldest, deepest, and creepiest discoveries that have been made in this country!

The national park program was the best thing that ever happened in American history IMO. We don't have the architecture or 1000s of years of human history like Europe and the Asia, but we've got canyons and mountains and swamps and cliff dwellings and those are pretty cool too.

I went to Isle Royale in 2010. It was an amazing place to be. At one point while I was heading from Windigo to my camp site, I saw a something moving on the other side of the bay. After watching for a while it finally came out of the woods and I saw it was a wolf. I was already amazed that I saw one, but it then crossed the creek and started walking to where I was. Eventually I couldnt see it anymore because the height of the path obscured my view. But just like that, less then 10 feet away from me this wolf pops out on the path in front of me. We were just starring at each other. I think I was just as surprised to see the other as he was with me. At this point a park ranger came up and asked if I had a good look yet. I told him: 'Just a sec.' After just enjoying it for a little bit longer I told the ranger I was done and he scared the wolf off. Its important to not let them get too used to humans. Its a shame that only two wolves are left. I wonder what happened to the wolf I saw. He had a tracking collar.

I have a silly but genuine series of questions for any biologists out there (or SciShow, if they're willing to answer) How do biologists know they found a new species? Is there a worldwide database on all known species? If so, is it digital or do people have to go through thousands of book pages? Is there any kind of search engine? Can any biologist claim to have found a new species or is there an official comitee involved that has to "approve" the new categorization? How do biologists know if they're not classifying a species that was already catalogued under a different classification? (in other words, how do biologists avoid "duplicates"?) So many questions...
@charlesfudge2 8 жыл бұрын
In addition to the previous comment, you can do genetic analysis of unknown individuals. There is a cataloge of all published genetic sequences called BLAST which you can compare it with to see if the species has been published before. New species discoveries will also often be published in peer reviewed journals, which means all their data to confirm the new species will be analysed by other scientists, usually specialists in the field.
@chiviamp2878 8 жыл бұрын
Yes, there is a database of all known species. A quick google search will do. Usually a drawing or a photo is given, then a description etc. Plus there are biologists who specialize on different animal categories and they could be asked if what they found was indeed new.
@TcFW97TCM 8 жыл бұрын
Hi. I'm still only a student, so I may be wrong. but from my understanding that is a problem for us. There are multiple databases online (Organizations) of taxonomy and some of them overlap. Taxonomists attempt to define species and subspecies, they tend to lead the databases. And I know 4 years ago the databases groups were trying to organize a unified system but it's a huge task. If your interested in sorting, organizing and unifying stuff look into it.

Wojtek Kiraga Nope. Machine Craft. Unoriginal name, but it's an extraordinarily hands on vehicle building game. Side note: Many people who aren't well versed in the game claim it's a konckoff of robocraft, but this is a misconception. I get that from the premise of building vehicles out of blocks and fighting with them, but if you toss in a dozen hours or even less you'll no doubt find that it's exponentially more hands on and asks you to fork out cash exactly never.

In my environmental science class a few years ago we did simulations on the Isle Royale using a relatively simple program that accounted for the seasons, available plant life, and the populations of wolves and moose. In one random permutation of testing my group accidentally found a viable ratio that lead to near extinction of both the wolves and moose at the same time, but with 2 wolves (probably some cubs already too) and a handfull of moose the populations managed to work themselves back into good numbers and didn't kill eachother off... ever. We ran our simulation for 500 years and they kept steady, with occasional dips here and there. Just thought it was a little neat.

Edison: I improved the light bulb! Tesla: I got a invented a particle ray!
@briansammond7801 4 жыл бұрын
Edison: I discovered thermionic emission, also known as "the Edison effect" (a basic scientific discovery) which was a necessary prerequisite for the invention of vacuum tubes. These, in turn, were the foundation for radios, televisions, radar, sonar, switching circuitry, computers, and more, for decades, until the invention of the solid state transistor and diode. The transistor and the diode were modeled on the vacuum tube. Without the Edison effect, there would be no radio, no television, no electronic computers, no radar (so the Battle of Britain would probably have been lost, since the UK relied on radar to defend against the Luftwaffe, potentially changing the outcome of WW2 in Europe), no sonar (so German u-boats would have had free reign to destroy the supply ships for lend lease that kept Britain and the Soviet Union alive during WW2, and to destroy the troop ships that brought Americans and Canadians to Britain to stage D-Day, again potentially changing the outcome of the war) and probably no transistors (which are the basis of modern computers and almost all electronics, and anything that uses integrated circuits, which are simply mass quantities of transistors). By the way, Tesla's proposed particle beam relied on vacuum tubes. So, he could not have done it without Edison's prior discovery. Edison might have been a jerk, but the discovery of the Edison effect *alone* , which led to the vacuum tube, puts him ahead of Tesla. People who make facile comparisons ignore the whole truth.
