I didn't know that's how you pronounce Quetzal in English. I have always pronounce it (k-salt) spanish since I live in belize near Guatemala.

@Bombchellebettie Жыл бұрын

Quetzal is a not ENGLISH. So you can’t say it in English. This man isn’t pronouncing it correctly.

Would you guys mind if i request something? I think a really cool idea would be to do a series called “paleo fact files” where you cover prehistoric animals from the past and also recently extinct animals

Once we reach our Patreon goal we will be doing this! Thanks so much ❤️

@@AnimalFactFiles you’re very much welcome 😊. Also i edited this comment to say both prehistoric animals from the past as well as recently extinct animals so that you guys could talk about two of my favorite extinct animals: the North Island Giant Moa and the Ivory-Billed Woodpecker.
