I like how animals are the literal embodiment of "if it works it works".

I absolutely love the “cuz he sees you”. That shit is so crazy how they just disappear in their natural environment

My grandpa who's the sheriff in the town where I live by actually has a pet vulture named Reggie. My grandpa has also had Reggie for like 15 years and at this point he's an honorary member of the town's police force, even has a badge and everything.

The hairy frog one was freaky, but then I realized that exact thing exists in the game "Dead Island"; an enemy not only breaks his arms to reveal bones to stab/slash you with, the jerk even sharpens the ends of the bones sticking out. I like thinking the devs heard of this frog and based the enemy character off of it.

I think we need to appreciate more how this man has dozens of ways to say death without actually saying it.

I'm mad impressed with vultures after watching that, they can legitimately eat anything, maybe apart from something radioactive, without any repercussions.

Used to live in Arizona when I was a kid. We’d catch and release horned lizards for fun. It was Arizona, there wasn’t much else to do. I think our record was a dozen in a single day. Weird thing is, they never once used their blood defense against me or my siblings. Guess they were so used to is they didn’t see us as a threat. A friends dog on the other hand…

Casual Geographic is easily one of THE best channels on You Tube ... and this guy is GREAT!! Unbelievably creative and upbeat similes, metaphors, puns and punchlines!!

He makes these animal facts fun, and into the point.

you could probably do a whole video just about the (literally) thousands of different kinds of toxin sea cucumbers have. different species have toxins with completely separate chemical makeup, and naturally different effects. medical science is super interested in them, because some of the poisons may be useful in making medicines

This man's content-to-sponsorship slide in is so smooth that at this point im damn sure he picks specific animals to talk about after getting the sponsorship request

Casual's consistently clever creativity clearly corroborates contemplative cognition! Awesome presentations: thank you for bringing boring biology to life.

I genuinely did not know dwarf sperm whales existed, _let alone_ the fact that they produce their own ink. Animals nowadays truly are quite interesting.

I'm so happy you didn't go into details about Petrels and it's "friendship" with penguins.

Someone at NordVPN has a wonderful sense of humor. I'm spreading the word. Thanks for these.

This man deserves all the success! We love ya man thanks for making our days all a bit brighter💯💯💯

This guy is the only person other than Oversimplified who can slide smoothly into a sponsorship spiel

"Imagine you try and fight a guy and he gives himself an open fracture and tries to slash you with it" Pretty hard to imagine at first, until I did all at once, got horrified, and then realized 'Interesting horror concept actually'

A couple of days ago, one of your videos popped up in my feed. I don’t know why it did, but I clicked on it and watched it. Since then, I’ve watched about six. They are fantastic! Thanks for the informative videos, and congrats on the success.

i honestly wish the hairy frog male was my dad because they actually care about their kids while my dad dipped while i was 6 also huge fan i love biology and paleontology and when i need more facts on animals to tell my family and honestly creep the shit out of them i come to your channel i appreciate what you do because your the only channel i can watch for days and come back for seconds

I didn't even know Dwarf Sperm Whales were a thing, let alone they can basically "ink" predators to make an escape. That's so cool! Thanks dude, learned something new today!

Fun fact, when my grandma was a little girl she'd go out of her way to find the horned lizards near her family's farm. She always thought they were crying whenever she saw their eyes bleeding like that. She didn't realize that they actually shot out blood until one day when I was watching animal planet when I was visiting her as a kid.

My new favorite channel. Interesting. Informative. Hilarious. And narrated by a voice so smooth, even the most horrific detail sounds relaxing.

I’ve already seen many animals and insects that did strange defense technics before, but these ones always had been the strangest ones, though the sea cucumber I will admit is the first time I’ve learned about itself. And what I learned was more than what I expected to hear tbh lol. But yeah, that’s one reason I come here, to learn about animals and insects and even become introduced to ones I’ve never heard of, like the dwarf sperm whale. Love the videos my dude!

You might question how evisceration is at all helpful to a sea cucumber, but let's be honest; if you got into a scrape with someone and they vomited out their entire digestive system at you, would you really be inclined to fuck with them any further?

Haven’t been able to watch the video yet because my dad and I aren’t listening to it together on the ride home from fishing on the river until tomorrow morning. But we are both so excited to listen to this on the way home! We love your content and on one occasion you had my dad laughing so hard we had to pull over on the expressway (it was how the grizzly bear would stand taller than a basketball hoop). It’s a genuine tradition of ours on weekends. We go out at 4:30am, we fish for smallmouth bass (catch and release) until 9 or 10-ish, then we get McDonald’s breakfast and listen to your videos and Jim gaffigan on the way home.

Hey Mr. Casual , You are a gracious and humble narrator. Quick and to the point with plenty of time to punctuate your glorious essays with a relevant quip. The unique delivery plus the way use the microphone is almost hypnotic. It reminds me of Bob Barker, "The Price is Right " and his Mic with the exaggerated long thin cylindrical stem. Again I will keep up with the thumbs up.

That was honestly the smoothest transition into an advertisement I've ever seen. Friggin incredible work man. Absolute MVP of youtube!

I talked with some falconers at a Ren fair who also would rehabilitate birds like owls and vultures. They said that, because a vulture's stomach acid is so acidic, the procedure for if someone gets vomited on is the same as if they'd had battery acid thrown in their face. Those birds are no joke.

Do you ever wish that you could selectively forget things just so you can enjoy things fresh like the first time? This is one of those moments whenever I see a notification pop up from this guy. I want to go back and binge watch his videos all over again. Edit: fresh* not flesh. I promise you I'm not a zombie that enjoys flesh.

I can listen to these videos all day - easily my favourite narrator

6:55 I love your double-entrende, the verbal easter egg (are those a thing?) your comment: "Vomiting half-digesting sewer-smelling foulness I can't even imagine...or maybe I just don't want to." was pulled straight out of Shawshank Redemption as one of the lines very similar to something Red might say. Here's the original script line: (Something about my (sic) friend) Andy who "...crawled through a river of shit-smelling foulness I can't even imagine; or maybe I just don't want to." Although, imho, the script had Red say that line *way* too often, "that I just can't even imagine, or maybe I just don't want to..."

8:15 “if he wasn’t only four inches.” “I mean there’s nothing wrong with that, it’s perfectly average and I bet he has a great personality.” 💀💀💀

I have a stage 4 disease and my life is absolutely a nightmare. I'm not having much to look forward to ......except your work really is a bright spot to my day. Young man u have a gift and so much to look forward to. You gonna be super famous and do all the talk shows etc. You definitely have charisma and quick wit. Thank you for giving me something to look forward to these scary days. Blessings to you and your loved ones and anyone reading this. 😃👍💯🍻

8:05 the music giving me nostalgic vibes 😢

"Did you see him? I hope so cause he sees you"

As an Australian who's watched your videos for ages I'm so happy to see you just keep getting better.

10:10 idk why, but this reminds me of a toad story from 2005 in Hamburg, Germany. The toads would expand as a natural defense, but since the crows ate their liver, the expanding would cause them to explode. If you didn't mention this in a video already, I think this little factoid is right at home on your channel.

Dude, you're like if David Attenborough was an insult comic. Just the best ever.

I can be in the worst, most beat, abused, dang near in tears, 😅😅unsmiling, depressed and painfully emotional mood and your video just cracks me up with belly laughing! Thank you! Unfortunately it leaves me feeling sad that I’m not capable of doing many of these things to the ones using me & hurting my feelings all the time. 😕

Those exploding ants at 11:38 remind me of an eerily similar species of termite called Neocapritermes Tarucua which have chemical filled pouches in their back that they will mix together if the colony is attacked causing them to burst into a sticky toxic goo that deters and possibly kills attackers.

I would’ve loved biology a lot more if this guy was my teacher

It’s a talent to make your sponsors entertaining they are hardy noticeable, much less annoying than other channels. Love your work, my 14 year old introduced me and I’ve have to explain only a minimal amount of your content because he doesn’t catch it all. lol.

“Time of the month” 😭😭 1:48

I love how this guy went from just talking about animals and how cool or weird they are to having around 2 million subscribers

I feel pretty bad for the dwarf Sperm whales. Imagine having having to evolve a giant brown cloud to defend yourself.

It'd be so much easier to pay attention to those long documentaries if they were also this hilarious

Oh boy, time to see things I didn’t think I would even see in nature again.

If you're curious, Hagfish skin is sold to make eelskin goods, such as wallets and handbags. All that slime makes for lovely supple skin. Got no clue why anyone would want to eat it though!

I feel like the sea cucumber is the most disrespectful. Just inappropriate. Reprehensible. Stay in the ocean😂😂😂😂

Honestly, the gecko makes me think of Shin Godzilla's tail beams, while not being surprised that's a thing...

I'm surprised you didn't mention ~ "The Bombardier Beetle." That shoots toxic acid out it's back door hole and literally can kill and burn other critters and it stinks terribly.

That gecko, exploding ants - now we're getting into stuff I've never heard of before! You are really digging deep for some obscure shit, and I love it! This is the best way to learn!

Thank you for sharing that story of the little whale. I thought it was a seal being attacked by a shark. Here I’m trying to find the the dorsal fin and you know there’s no fin and I couldn’t make it out I was like oh my God all this blood so thank you for explaining it to us 👍👍👍👍

8:33 me: *coughs up blood* "you'll never get a secret out of me." bad guy: "how are you bleeding? we haven't done anything yet!"

Family: “Why are you so scared of nature?” Me: *This.*

LOL!!! I was on acid one time and couldn’t stop laughing about buttholes with teeth. The sea cucumber fact just brought me back 16 years!

This guy has a gift for speaking, He should be a radio host.

11:19 so Wolverine uses retractable claws like a Wolverine frog and has a personality of a Wolverine mammal

I laughed way too hard at the Shawshank reference as well as all the puns and jokes you threw in, especially the one about the horned lizard only being 4 inches long! 🤣 Also, I really appreciated the advice at the end, in particular the hug your mother part! Love and appreciate your mom while you’ve got her! 💕

I sit through all of your sponsorship adds at least once out of pure respect.

I have not binged watched some yter, like this in a couple years. The words and how you put your sentences in the way you do, is awesome.

Go to school for years learning nothing about animals, comming here learned alot

Who else randomly came across this channel an now can't stop watching his video ⁉️😂😭😂😭😂 This guy is awesome

I used to watch Wild Krats as a kid and now I watch this, I never stopped wanting to learn about animals lol

Every video I see from you is A1 gold! You got this man.

I genuinely love how often you bring up the honey badger, cuz they don't give a fuq, but they'll gladly give that fade.

I'm a Biologist and I did a brief stint with Leech's Storm Petrels (admittedly in Canada and not a species in the Southern Hemisphere) they actually smell really good. Kinda like musky wet earth. Also they have adorable babies that they basically feed until they they jiggly little balls of fat.

Shoutout to scavengers for keeping this world strange and relatively clean.

this is the fourth amazing ad segue you've had. I don't even feel annoyed by the video interruption, it's so smooth.

Hey bro liked and subscribed years ago. First comment. Must take you forever to write these funny/well spoken videos. And literally holding the mic is a nice touch. Everything you’ve done for years is brilliant, I appreciate you bro.

Thanks for the warning CG👍 I’m sure some people are gonna need it

Squirting blood from the eyes makes sense, considering the rest of the lizard. No other holes, and the hide is too tough, but eyes are mucosal and have surface blood vessels. It can't break its own skin elsewhere, but the eyes are quick and easy.

Still remember screaming, "SPIDER BROKE HIS LEG!" during that fight. Thanks for making me relive that ♡ great channel, love your content.

I'm so glad my boyfriend showed me your channel, your content is absolute gold! Interesting facts and excellent humour. I love it! :))

Your mom has to be so proud of you and the success your love if animals has brought you!!😘😘😘

Watching the reptiles and tomato frog defenses, it makes me wonder what sort of weird things dinosaurs could have been capable of? Probably hard to tell if a prehistoric lizard could shoot blood from its eyes by looking at their bones.

4:23 I literally said with my chest puffed out "THE LOATHESOME DUNG EATER"!!!

Bruh, you a real one for adding the the remixes music from Metroid Fusion at the end. That game is BEAST AF!

2:12 yes, i actually did. almost instantly. i'm rather happy about it :) 3:29 i hear Walking With Dinosaurs music in the background. specifically, from the episode Cruel Sea. 9:28 if that defense mechanism was in its throat, and mixed in the flammable substance you mentioned... i'm pretty sure it's as close to a dragon we're going to get (whether the liquid is ignited or not).

The golden-Tailed gecko's tail fluid+ammonia equals dragon's fire breath. Let us hope nature never figures that combination out

“Honey it’s happening” in the most monotone, dry voice ever made me laugh so hard

The horned lizard has been my favorite lizard since I was like 5, reading animal books. I always liked the fact they shot blood out their eyes. I’ve always wondered how it isn’t painful, imagine gushing blood out your eye, that shit wouldn’t be fun but this lizard can do it at will and act like nothing happened after. I just don’t get it, weirdest animal defense strat in my opinion

"..... may disgust you. " That's okay. I'll still watch it while eating.

Your videos are the only thing that makes me almost wish I had grandchildren. My sons are all childless adults and I support their decisions. However, if I was a mamaw I’d binge these with the kiddos

I went to a summer camp at a raptor center like a decade ago. I got to be in the same cage as most of the raptors because we (employee+2 kids including me) were gathering their pellets. The vultures don't actually smell that bad and they were super sweet. However... If you are wondering what vulture vomit smells like (or at least "domestic" because I can't think of a better word)... It smells like a rotting deer carcass in the middle of a hot summer day. I've smelled quite a few dead animals because of living near a few bodies of water (and owning chickens which then means rodents banking on the free food and water), but vulture upchuck... The person handling him on a glove was nervous and he very much picked up on that. His puke looked like rusty cave water if you were for some reason wondering. That camp was fun minus the other kids who had personalities worse than that vulture's stomach spawn and ruined it. And yes, the raptors were very well taken care of.

I love every adjective you have ever used. That's why I watch every mf video you drop. Thanks for properly educating the audience in the most animal planet for dummies way.

In regards to the horned toad shooting its own blood out of its eyes, I think (if I'm remembering correctly) that it's repurposing tear ducts for the action, similar to how that one stage performer drinks through their eyes. You can get an idea of how it might feel by clamping your mouth shut, pinching your nose, and trying to exhale really hard. That's because most of the tubes and cavities in your skull are connected to a degree.

When I was little like 7 or 8, I lived in the middle of nowhere, closest town was 30 mins away. My grandma and I were driving home from the store when we crossed paths with a vulture, we must have scared it because it threw up the nastiest smell I have smell in all my 41 years! So terrible! That year I learned that grown vulture puke is the nastiest smell and that baby vultures are poof balls of feathers in the beginning that are pretty cute.

3:30 man, the walking with dinosaurs BG music was a nostalgia trip. loved that miniseries when i was a kid.

the fact in the hagfish section the WWD ocean music is playing is so good together

I love horned lizards!!!! I used to work as a zip guide, and there were horned lizards all over the park. I'm pretty sure that the ones on the zip course were used to people, though, cuz I used to pick them up all the time and never got blasted with eye-blood. They were just chill and adorable ☺

I swear life was all sunshine lollipops and rainbows before I learned about other animals

My dad actually used to play with horned lizards (I've always known them as horny toads). He said that when he pet their belly they would just relax. He never saw one squirt blood though.

Somehow KZfaq knew I was feeling a little frazzled and blue after a stressful day at work and threw this channel in my recommendations. For that I am forever grateful.

So for some reason, my cat goes and does the unspeakable with his favorite blanket every time he hears one of these videos. I think he has a crush on Casual's voice.

7:43 that bird regurgitating and spitting its stomach acid actually jumpscared me. In fact I could feel it hitting me in the face... wait a fu**ing second.

Man, I love the Horned Lizard hability, idk why, I just love it

This Guy is an entertaining KZfaqr. He’s funny and his facts are on point.
