Hey, we have the same profile picture

We need to be friends you and I. We like both animals and history. Thank you for this comment. I really like you

Thanks Max!

no, no this one actually recognizes climate change

TotodileSmile3721 climate change isn't human caused its natural, so yes climate change is real, but it's not caused by humans, every year the sun gets an inch bigger, the temperature has increased .8 degrees since 1880, over 100 years it's gotten about 100 inches bigger, this would logically cause a change in temperature.

Evan Cook While, yes, there certainly are natural causes of climate change and major climate fluctuations do happen over time, the climate change happening nowadays is _far_ more rapid than anything previously measured. The vast majority of the scientific community is in solid agreement that the current biggest contributor to climate change _is_ indeed humans. While the growth of the sun could also be hypothetically contributing to temperature increase and I certainly appreciate that you're bringing evidence to the conversation instead of "haha fucking stupid liberals wake up america!!," I would still say that the amplified greenhouse effect is a much more convincing and thorough explanation for climate change. After all, the sun has been increasing in size for _all_ of Earth's history, but Earth has also had times where climate change caused _lower_ global temperatures; it doesn't explain why current climate change is _so_ extreme now. And regardless of the cause, climate change is doing very bad things to our environment, so one way or another it needs to be addressed :'D

The thing about the natural changes in climate is that they are significantly accelerated by humanity's production of greenhouse gases since the industrial revolution. Of course climates change naturally, the issue is that the rate is artificially increased, and that it's on us to do something about that increase.

It's true, but i'd like to see the numbers written in Celsius, meters and kg too x)

Anne Onyme I'm afraid I don't share your fetish for the metric system. Also, measuring temperature in Celsius offers no benefit over Fahrenheit. If anything, you lose some precision if you round to integers or half-integers. The Kelvin scale is useful in physics, but no more so than the Rankine scale. Furthermore, for consistency, you guys should measure angles in Gradians (100 gradians = 1 right angle).

Anne Onyme Oh, weight and distance are worth metricizing. Temperature... not so much. And if you don't like my characterization of your obsession with the metric system as a fetish, you can call it a cult if you like. That would explain why the lesser countries (read as: non-American) use it.

My question was not about the value of one system or the other... it will be easier for foreigners to follow if the editing was done in both units... i have sadly no idea how cold is 60°F... and your answer about "fetish" was really condescending x)

Anne Onyme Oh, and I think I have not made myself clear. Of course the metric system is "adequate". It's just not necessarily _superior_ to the Imperial system in _every_ case. Specifically, since the pound is lighter than the kilo, and the foot is shorter than the meter, when approximated to the nearest integer or half-integer, similar to the Fahrenheit over the Celsius, these are actually _better_. EDIT: My apologies for being condescending. That wasn't my intention. How was I to know you weren't American?

Thanks! I didn't noticed it was Farenheit, and I thought:"That's cold!", and well, it's still very cold!

It's fucking cold.

They are different species, not closely related, and mating behavior isn't exactly the same. It's not likely, though I've heard rumors of some hybrids, but I haven't been able to solidly confirm an actual case of offspring, let alone fertile offspring.

AnimalWonders Montana I love your videos

Thanks! I just assumed they would at least be able to produce offspring, given how wolves, coyotes, and dogs can all interbreed, but it's interesting to learn that fox species are different enough that their ability to hybridize would be questionable.

MsKnitsAlot actually, they do, but not in the wild. The hybrids are usually bred in captivity for their fur.

Gestur Pálsson Good catch! Iceland hosts quite a healthy population of Arctic foxes.

That population has even been used to increase genetic variety in arctic foxes in Scandinavia icelandreview.com/news/2015/02/12/icelandic-fox-cubs-sent-foreign-zoos

That'd be great!

mtktm You're right! Totally thought I said caribou. I'll add an annotation with the correction. Thanks for catching that :)

"Reindeer" is a Germanic word that simply means "animal with antlers", while "caribou" is a Native American word that means "pawer, scratcher". Both, however, refer to the same species.

Nillie - it's norse in origin. and translates from hreinn - dyr, meaning clean/pure animal

Check out this site for the etymology of the word: www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=reindeer

It means pickle on 4 legs.

If they can fully extend their wings in all directions without hitting a wall, perch, food dish, or toy then that's a start. You should also have at least 6 different sized and textured perches so they have options on where to stand. They also need several toys to play with and chew on at all times. If your cage accommodates the space for the perches, toys, and wingspan then it's a good size.

ah

I got my finger too close to Frasier the mink. He thought it was a mouse and my fingernail was sliced through by his canine. It's slowly growing out, but half a fingernail looks pretty terrible (and hurts). Sooo, weird fake nail it is. Tbh though, it's growing on me :)

excuse me?

@@Tgtg14486 oh right I remember now. It's how the red foxes are invading and killing off the Arctic foxes due to the warming climate... Quite possibly also due to red foxes losing their ancestral homes from human habitation

Foxes as pets are legal in America

The people need to change too. If you toodle around the city in a gas guzzling 4x4 that's designed for rugged mountains, you're part of the problem.

The individual actions of people are the ONLY things that are impactful.

We need both education of individuals and coertion by the law. Neither is sufficient by itself for now. Education is the most reliable and ethical method, but we can't educate enough people to change in a sufficiently short amount of time. Coertion will have to be employed if laws and bills are to be enforced before the entire population is educated. But legislative changes require the population to already have changed... this is a neverending circle, and the only way to break it is for elected officials to somehow coerce the population into going that way before the population even wills it.
