Kiwi birds come from New Zealand hence the nickname for the people who live there being "Kiwis" but oddly the fruit also called "Kiwi" comes from China. British and US servicemen in New Zealand first encountered this Chinese "Gooseberry" in New Zealand and the locals thought it looked like a kiwi bird being all fluffy so... Kiwifruits.

The cheetahs chirp actually allows them to talk to their cubs without predators hearing them as they just think it's a bird call.

You are the ONLY one on the internet to jump right into the video without a long boring intro. I just wanted you to know that I love that. Thanks.

The weirdest thing about an octopus to me is I can't comprehend how they are able to become so intelligent in such a short period of time. Seems like a total waste.

Speaking of intelligent dogs, I had a german shepherd ( female passed away 2 years ago) without training she used to open & close doors using the handles , turn on/off lights, work the kitchen faucet to drink water, get ice cubes from fridge , open/close sliding patio door, I've even caught her opening the fridge door many times, leave the house through the garage door, I noticed she watched us doing things and try to do the same. She was a hand full but we loved her to death.

A lot of reaction channels I see the people typically aren't that into it or don't get it fully, but you're actually really intelligent and it's clear you've thought about this stuff quite a bit. Very refreshing

More casual geographic please! I've never seen you smile so much and what is better in life than having a blast whilst learning :D

To be fair, what he said about the Luna Moth is true about almost all moths and butterflies, they are rare creatures in that they have two very distinct phases in life with entirely different purposes. All caterpillars do is feed and after they have hatched out of their cocoon their only purpose in life is to mate. This is quite a unique concept in the animal world. PS: If the chair is gone so am I, how dare you switch chairs after we spent all of season 1 beginning to relate to that character in such a meaningful way.

Holy smokes. I legit feel sorry for these animals now! Never been so thankful to be human.

I think his videos don't typically teach me animal facts. But he's very clever on his word choices. I love his videos.

So I've watched a lot of your reaction videos, mostly based on the level of interesting content you choose, but even more for your erudite, clever & studied observations. I'd just like to encourage you to morph beyond reaction vids toward building your own voice. I'd be fascinated to follow your perspective on a range of issues/topics. I appreciate that you've kept your name/personal history/opinions under the radar; but honestly, you're a rather rare quantity in this space. There are so many posters spouting utter nonsense, getting tons of views, and influencing people toward faulty and sometimes dangerous conclusions. Jump in, we need you!

I really enjoy both No Protocol and Casual Geographic to get away from the world even if its for a brief moment. Thank you.

You're a high quality reactor.

Nature is so wild in how some animals are designed to some things great but are lacking in so many others. Love how he points out these opps in nature.

I'm skeptical that octopuses are *only* as smart as dogs. I would have guessed they were much smarter (as well as corvids, elephants, and great apes)

Ah yes, the video that made me subscribe to Casual Geographic. Love the guy 😄 Also really enjoyed your commentary on this one, those subtle jokes get me every time.

If all teachers were like Casual kids would love going to lessons. Also, No Protocol is a great KZfaqr :) They should do a colab.

2/50,000 is indeed less than 1%, no lie told there 😂😂😂

I knew nature had some gruesome births but I had never heard about those and they're out of pure horror! We might have our flaws but the animals on that list sure got it worse...

09:11 This is pretty common with insects. Some of them like Mayflies spent years as a larvae only to die within days when they become an adult. Some species only live hours or even minutes. 14:52 Interesting thing about cheetahs is that they can be tamed pretty easily. The thing is that as bad as their reproduction is in the wild, in captivity it's even worse. We're talking about 90 percent death rate among newborn cubs. Without those support dogs, it would be pretty impossible to keep the population up in captivity. Oh, and the whole support dog thing also works with Leopards. If you impirint a leopard with a golden retriever, you basically have now two golden retrievers. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hruhZtKB37a6gJs.html

2 surviving octopuses out of 50 000 means that only 0.004% survive to adulthood. And since octopuses are only equipped to have kids once, it means that the 2 surviving octopuses both need to reproduce to sustain their species.

The Kiwi is from New Zealand - a slang for someone from New Zealand is also "kiwi" Love your stuff

Poodles are very intelligent that's why they were trained as circus acts for many years. Also the poodles tight curly hair made them extremely buoyant so they were used by Belgian and French fishermen to retrieve fallen tackle.

This dude is really funny. After your first reaction to his videos I looked his channel up and binge watched several videos lol. Good luck with the move! And yes Casual Geographic has a video on Orcas.

Poodles, despite being known mainly for revolting hairstyles due to their owners, were actually bred for hunting and are quite clever and obedient.

Hands down my favorite youtuber, your content is so varied and always informative and fun.

Casual Geographic has me dying 🤣 Ive been subbed to his channel for a good while, and i cant get enough 😅

Sloths leaving the safety of the tree to poop makes me laugh because I'm imagining a sloth thinking "well I don't want this poop up here in the tree with me, if I don't go down there the poop will just stay up here with me" lending more to the hilarity that is a sloth to begin with.

I saw the Casual Geographic video you reacted to, so I had to see your reaction. I grew up with these facts about animals, so it will be amazing to see a fellow woman's reaction. And when you didn't know about the bird Kiwi, I knew this would be a treat.

hahaha that thumb nail. love your take on things!

I love this dude. He's awesome. I'm already subbed.

Casual Geographic is wonderful entertainment and education. Keep reacting, and your input is spectacular. Thank you.

Speaking on human evolution, our backs SUCK. We're not properly developed to be 100% bipedal, and our backs suffer for it.

It took me half of the video to realize that he's holding a tiny mic not a lollipop

Imagine being a cheetah. You've got all your stats in speed. You're the fastest in the animal kingdom. And then some weird hairless ape sneaks up on you. You easily outrun the slow bastard. But an hour later... there he is again. You run away. This keeps happening until you're too tired to keep running. Then they stab you with a pointed stick and you die.

The fact that you get right to the point is awesome

Another interesting "design flaw" vertebrates have inherited is a blind spot in our eyes. For whatever the reason we have nerves on top of our retinas. Those nerves all pass through the retina on the way to the brain by going through a small hole in the retina. The hole means no photo-receptors where it is, so a blind spot. The brain sort of edits it out of our attention so no problems. Cephalopod on the other hand don't even have his issue since the nerves connecting the photo-receptors in their eyes to their brain connect from behind the retina.

Funny you mentioned the poster, when I first started watching the channel my first video I was so intrigued by the poster, because I had the same idea, but for a nightclub named legends and for a theme with only music legends represented. It was trippy 😅 to see and not just think it my head.

What a great video, i thought he had a lollipop until half way through haha

Dude is funny and his facts are correct. Love his content

Standard Poodles were at one time hunting dogs, waterfowl for the most part iirc. Natural selection can cultivate some crazy traits, but human selection is no slouch either with domesticated animals. A lot of the working dogs received selective breeding to cultivate specific traits. Hunting, sheep herding, those sort of jobs are easier to do if you're working with an animal that can listen and understand contextual commands. There's a fun channel called "What About Bunny" where someone has buttons that their poodle / sheepdog mix can press to generate audible words. It's not the Queens English, but often the word combinations used by the pooch will seem contextually appropriate. I hope your move takes you to good places.

Never seen this guy before, awesome vid. Dude is switched on and hilarious, will be checking out his channel

This woman is very bright and her comments are worth listening to in their own right. She also has a very mobile face and is often more watchable than what she is presenting.

"A bird that can't bird" had me dying, I had to pause the video 🤣

I’ve seen this guy before. He’s informative, funny and to the point. Maybe I should subscribe to his channel. As always, you come up with some great videos.

I always thought pigs were given frustrating lives due to their body shape. They are highly curious and intelligent, but they stand close to the ground, looking only down unless they stretch their short, fat necks, with limbs that are useless for holding anything or protecting themselves. And then there is the species with lower incisors that grow up THROUGH THEIR FACE and sometimes into their brain.

The Casual Geographic guy is entertaining and the videos interesting. Still, I'm glad the appropriate words were bleeped out.

Kiwi birds are primarily found in New Zealand.

The mario brothers edit when the eagle got the sloth had me rolling.

The Casual Geographic guy (can't remember his name) has a great audiobook that he wrote and narrates.

You're moving physically or creating another channel? I don't watch for your decor. I watch because your unique perspective on topics is very interesting.

Yo that hyena stuff has me stuck right now.... If they weren't so vicious I would hug all of them😅😂

Lmao your face when he said bigger is most certainly better

Kiwi birds are the most bizarre fuckers and I love them. They get backhanded by the entire ecosystem but the fact that their mating ritual is just the males inciting play until the female joins in or scratches him

Ah.. Casual Geographic. The reason I found this channel. Well, your reaction of his video some months ago, I mean.

Where is your channel moving to? I will definitely come along.

Love this guy. Found him from you.

Lettuce lettuce contains a chemical that works as an adenosine agonist. Lactuca virosa is highest in this chemical as its known as wild lettuce and so more effective than the domesticated lettuce.

Just found your video (2-6-2023) by seeing Casual Geographic in the title. You're so chill....and beautiful.

I like the irony of no long intro but there's never a long intro lol

The thing about octopuses is that they are intelligent in the sense that they learn quickly, but they have virtually no long term memory. In aquariums they can teach octopuses to do all sorts of complex tasks, but they have to reteach them every morning. The memory doesn't stick around. So whether this counts as intelligence is a bit debatable.

Nobody leaves a biology class still believing in intelligent design. Well, unless they weren't paying attention in the first place.

Cheetahs aren't as nerfed as people keep claiming. I won't get into that, though. I'll just point out that the reason they can't roar, is that they can purr. Cats can either roar or purr, but never both. Purring may seem like a useless skill, but most likely has purposes we don't know of; in spite of what this list might make you think, evolution never gives up something useful, without getting something useful back. It's just that it doesn't give a 5h17 what if feels like to the individuals... Anyway, a benefit from purring that evolution never counted on, is that it's perfect for recruiting human allies; hearing and feeling the purr of a cheetah tends to stick with people in an entirely different way than roars (which also stick with people).

A Kiwi bird that'll be New Zealand. Us British refer to New Zealanders as Kiwis. Leopards can't Roar by the way either. What he failed to mention about the Octopus is they are shape shifters, and can instantaneously change colour, they can perfectly mimic their surroundings, either blending perfectly into the sea bed or shape shifting into a rock while also changing into the exact colour of the rock or sea bed. They are truly incredible creatures.

I always feel some surreal type of humor when I hear about the "Emu Wars", like I know it must have sucked for whoever went thru it, but how many other animals have an actual W like that against people? The betta fish, A.K.A. the Chinese fighting fish, is the main one of those "prettier than the female" type fish I can think of. I don't think the pretty is for attracting mates in this case, they get really vibrant when facing other bettas so I guess it's more of a colorful "f off".

Fun fact, poodles were actually originally bread as bird hunting dogs. Also poodles are actually German dogs and not French like most people think.

That's so much less than 1% that you can barely see 1% from there. That's 1/25000

0:22 That's a warthog. If they don't file down their tusks enough, it starts to push right into their skull.

It's hilarious how after asking for someone to double check the math, the comments are split between 0.004% and 0.00004%.

+1 Team player

Pulling out the "my grandma" card doesn't fly :)

Human childbirth is atrocious compared to other apes, because there are conflicting needs--- bigger head for the bigger brain, and narrow hips so you can walk upright. Those two make human childbirth among the most dangerous and painful of any, including the hyena.

I believe (without having fact checked it) that kiwis are native to New Zealand

tierzoo has some great ocean videos

He has written a great book...100 animals that will fuck you up. Amazon has it, great read

Hey Wendy's is actually good .

You and this guy would be a good match

I like your shirt. Where'd you get it?

They say poodle dogs are smart, but I own 2 doodle mixes (half poodle dogs, one golden doodle, and a black labradoodle), and they are easily the two dumbest dogs I've ever known. I also have a GSD who routinely outsmarts both of them effortlessly.

It's definitely less than 1%. You are right about that.

JEFF was HERE

You should watch casual geographic video on big cats 😊

Fun fact we have the same amount of neck vertebrae as almost all mammals, which includes giraffes, elephants, and even whales. The only 2 animals that i know of that have more are the sloth and the Manatee

🤣"2 out of 50000 is less than 1% "🤣🤣"someone Hubble check that math" 😭 I can tell you you're 100%right but that was the biggest understatement off the year

The reason lettuce makes you tired is because it contains a chemical that is structurally similar to opium called lactucarium, aka lettuce opium/lopium.

That's the reason the standard poodle is so prevalent in circuses and talent shows. It's not the terrible poofy haircut for sure.

Okay if Cheetahs are at " genetic bottleneck " , how would humans go about fixing that ?

To answer your question about greens... yes. There is a reason we do green heavy diets. Your body honestly uses almost the entire carb value of a green just to process it. Even fulltime vegetarians know better than to just go with greens because you will not have any energy to spare on anything if you prioritize eatting leafy greens. Even less if you do not cook them.

'does it die' - one egg per female wouldn't last long. Herodotus reported the same thing about female lions. animals that are really slow like sloths and koalas live off leaves with low nutritional value. while maybe a bit less lazy, pandas have the same problem with bamboo.

You should actually do a long intro next April Fool's Day 😂

It's crazy that I actually learned about the Hyenas reproducutive "uniqueness" in a batshit crazy ecchi anime called Ishuzoku Reviewers. Formerly review bombed to #1 anime of all time on MAL. 🤣

For the octopus, 2 in 50,000 is equivalent to 0.002%

You weren't expecting poodles to be smart. Nobody does. It just goes to show how a bad haircut can make you look like a fool. They were herding dogs and very smart ones at that. The poodle haircut came from the fact that their owners who where often shepherds, would trim their naturally long and wild hair so that they wouldn't collect burrs and other nasty things while running around doing their job. The shepherds would just trim the hair using the same shears as they used on the sheep. Hence they ugly cut that poodles are known for.

the Octopus we eat are grown on a farm of sorts idk what you would call it

.004 or 4 one thousandths of a percent fir the octopus number.

0.004 is the percentage of 2 octopuses out of 50,000

You really need to watch TierZoo's cat tier list :)

Do you know Lindsay Nikole's channel? She's also presenting lots of interesting facts about different species in a really fun way. I think you'd like it. I won't recommend any specific video (all of them are great), though I really like her series "WTF is that" and "spooky specimens"

1:11 yeah... poodles are extremally smart and relatively easy to train. They are a pretty solid dog...... Pits sre still my favorite tho lol

I just saw a video by Daily Dose of Internet, and there was a mouse in it that knew how to fool the mouse trap and still eat the cheese, speaking of smart :-)
