I feel like they nailed the name with wombat. Definitely looks like a wombat.
You know, I wumbat, you wumbat, he she me wumbat.
@@emiwoo9355 She wombatted.
I was thinking it kind of looks like a French Bulldog. Or maybe French Bulldogs kind of look like wombats. Either way, I decided if I ever get a Frenchie, I'll name it Wombat.
@@WILD__THINGS I think that’s an excellent decision.
Wow! Good call!!!! For sure they for sure do
What's so insane to me is that a lot of these stories of rare/recently extinct animals have such small home ranges. Their ENTIRE WORLD is concentrated on one tiny Cliffside, or a little patch of rainforest, or just one little island in the ocean. It just makes learning about these animals feel all the more desperate 😔
There is a species of shrimp called Procaris ascensionis where the entire population is found in only 2 tiny rock pools on the remote island of ascension in the middle of the altantic
Or some pupfish who’s entire native habitat is size of a hot tub
@@jordyb57 probably the water hole ever connected to bigger water body like river at some point in the past, but due to drying climate the river is disappear and the hole is the final refugium for the pupfish
@@jordyb57 and even inside a hot Environment, even without humans they would die out
What about the Betta channoides is very endangered
Please keep making more of these I love learning about oscure species, and I also love the fact that you often put plants other than animals.
Habitat preservation is so important. Endangered plants are sometimes found in roadsides and power cuts.
this video is very nice. I've been watching videos about cryptids just for fun but it's always nice to see how actual animals are found describe and presented to the world even if not a lot of people know about them
8:39 I know there's also the Annamite striped rabbit (from the same genus), that was described the same year the Sumatran Striped Rabbit was rediscovered. There's camera trap footage from the World Land Trust that was uploaded back in 2016.
Yes! Finally someone made a video about Malabar Giant Civet. Thanks!
Clicked for the handfish. Was not disappointed and got to squee at the adorable babies.
I love how much I learn without even trying by watching your videos. Keep ‘em coming!
I've been doing a page on Facebook for some years now to make unknown animals known by posting a daily random animal. Can't save what isn't known about.
That's a cool idea! Have you posted the red wolf? Hardly anyone knows about them and they're super rare.
@@daffers2345 Weirdly enough I did like a week ago. I've been doing ones that are critically endangered recently.
What's your Facebook page?
@@safron2442 It's called Animalies.
@@aDaewooLanos Thanks! I think the red wolf needs MUCH more attention than it gets. Gray/timber wolves are important too, but everyone knows about them and their numbers are so much better.
At the University of Auckand, there is a specimen of Metrosideros called Bartlett's rata that currently only has 50 wild individuals remaining in the very north of North Island
At 25:43 for clarification the poster did not actually claim it as Adam’s horseshoe bat but instead a expert who is a expert on African bats and even examined the voucher specimen
Imagine how many other creatures and plants only lived on the side of one volcano until it exploded
We need a way to get more people to be aware of these species. It might help them.
I would love to hear about the Blakiston’s Fish Owl sometime! Your videos are amazing and informative! I learned all about the Devils Hole Pupfish from this channel!
Very informative!
Partula could have gone on here!
Still waiting for the actual video about them though. Hopefully it comes soon!
I don't want to give a spoiler but basically they introduced a worm into the islands and a lot of them went extinct.
@@kubakielbasa5987 Predatory snail intentionally, predatory worm unintentionally. The first killed most species and the second prevented the remaining species from recovering.
In addition many partulas have tiny ranges. Partula cytherea is (was) found on a single mountainside. Partula labrusca was endemic to the Tehemani plateau in Raiatea.
I bet if these dudes weren't collecting these species to extinction that would help!! Amazing plants and animals!!! Nice video!
I didn't know that any wombats were critically endangered since they're such an iconic Australian marsupial
I clicked for the Red Handfish (I live in Tasmania) and stayed for the rest.
Your videos are always so interesting!
Awesome video as always!
Thanks for a most interesting video. Regards, John. UK.
Brilliant content. Subbed
Love the background music
My dog perked right up, tilting her head when the audio of the second animal came on.
Please don’t let your dog kill endangered species 🙏🏿
I’d love to see a video just covering species that have been discovered in museum collections.
Please make ambient information about recently extinct animals
Just a sugestion, a video specificly about endagered bird species from South America, like the Araripe Manakin, Brazilian Merganser, Kaempfer's Woodpecker and the Blue Eyed Ground Dove, etc., could be interesting. In special, Brazil is full of amazing bird species and unfortunatly a bunch of them are in a delicade situation.
Gotta save them all
Do u know about the pink iguana there are only 200-300 left and the only live on the slopes of a single volcano in the galapagos
Ooo. I LOVE the pink iguana. Especially because they were discovered relatively recently on a set of islands that are heavily studied.
I'll add them to my list for a future video.
Its impossible to say only 50 left, as its impossible to search entire reefs where this species lives
I'd only heard of the hand fish and I didn't know that there were three species of wombat. The manner in which the scarcity of a species - and thereby potentially the protection given to it - is shockingly deficient. How can a species with only 200 individuals in existence be downgraded from critically endangered to merely endangered?
I wondered the same. But the justification was in the fact that the population had doubled, had a growing range, and seemed stable.
There are a lot of political reasons that species have their status changed as well, though I'm not sure if any of that was happening in this case.
Its relative... If a species *only* ever existed on a single 🏔 that _literally couldn't support more_ than a population of 50?
Those 50 animals are *definitely* endangered! But not "critical" if the species has stable population that's as big as its ever been/will be and there's no immediate risk of losing the habitat👍
Lmao I hope I explained it well enough
Also there are very specific check lists for how each species is classified lol you can look up "IUCN red list"
I don't think you've ever talked about the european hamster which is critically endangered. I see them often but most people outside of my village haven't heard of them, not to mention the whole country or continent. Very cute animal and they're unique compared to other hamsters. Love your videos and the effort you put into them
Yeah, I've never heard of the European hamster before. Thanks for mentioning it.
Glad you enjoy the videos. :)
i have a video recommendation! i saw another video on extinct animals ancient egyptians saw and was hoping u can do a similar video as i love your vid styles! ❤❤
Do you know the channel toldinstone? It’s a fantastic channel about Roman history. He did a video on extinct animals the Roman’s saw, very fascinating
@@liampowers8570i’ve not heard of that channel be4 but thanks for the recommendation! i saw the extinct animals ancient egyptians saw video from a channel extint zoo
Joey Santoro from Crime Pays but Botany Doesn't is trying to establish a Thorne scrub habitat in Texas. What looks like weeds to some is actually important habitat for plants and animals. We can't save what we don't know about.
That music reminds me of Professor Layton
There are some Stripped Rabbits at Mount Kerinci, my friend saw 2 of them during "summit attack"
HANDFISH MENTION!!! LETS GOO
20:34 the voice Crack 😭
AAN I think you should add the Mariana Crow it's rare and less people are known about it, it is endemic in the Mariana Islands
and Guam they are listed as(CR)
critically endangered do to the loss habitat and the introduced brown tree snake
@AfriBats can you provide more insight on Adam's horseshoe bat? 24:22
As a conservationist myself we’re fighting for species across the globe…we need to save the wildlife we have left it’s now or never.
Long live the wombats
13:30 There have been recent CZcams videos of divers recording footage of the Ornate Sleep Ray in the past three years.
My dumbahh thought a wombat would be a fluffy bat
I never thought that there are three
species of wombats 😅😅❤❤
Btw people who know what is
👇Mariana crow is
How did you think that? Australia is a big open land and animals can split into different regional populations across it. Unless you thought wombat was a unique species of burrowing koala
can we get an update on Megachile Pluto's?
rubber plantation validated
That Popa Langur looks very similar to our Dusky Leaf Monkeys we have here in Malaysia. Are they not the same species just in different location?
20:40 he looks really tired.
Possibly the wombat population may consist of mostly males due to the mothers protecting their newborn young opposed to fleeing a predator?subsequently ending them
Why can’t we establish a captive population of hirola? They eat grass, shouldn’t it be easy? Then maybe we could start releasing them again once things are stable. Wasn’t there another antelope species we already did that with?
To @thatonepossum5766
It probably never has caught the attention of an individual or organization that wants to do that or has the resources to do it. It would definitely be a great idea to take some individuals into captivity and create a captive herd.
If the population is small enough and the animals are sensative enough, it might not be feasible...
An example that comes to mind is the vaquita. We've known how critical their population is for a while now (since there was around 100 + or - a dozen left in the *one small place* they live in northern most corner Sea of Cortez) and we knew the mexican gov can't stop the cartel gillnetting totoaba which is _same_ size, in _same_ water as vaquita; so they'd continue to be rapidly wiped out from net drownings...
Unfortunately all 2 or 3 attempts to capture a few vaquita to move to different suitable water for a lifeline population failed because they would die from stress at every capture attempt (really *not good* to lose even 1 or 2 with a population that only had _less than 30 breeding females_ left) so all we could do was try our best to stop the gillnetting and protect whats left!
Now there's between 0-10 left and they are functionally extinct 💯
o7 hirola hartebeest
Channel Island Foxes are more endangered and rare.
Is the red handfish related to the frogfish, Antennarius ?
Convergent evolution lmao they're closer to batfish or sea robins I believe
Hirola might be 1st large mammal _to go extinct on African mainland..._
Uhhh did we forget about the northern white rhino⁉️ 🤔
"genus of African mammal"
@@all.about.nature4630”first extinction of a mammalian genus….” Meaning the Beatragus genus?
@@jordyb57 Yes. There is only one other known species from the genus, but it is already extinct.
@@all.about.nature4630thank you!
in the philippines, youll find rare komodo dragons that uses yahoo messenger to look for American husbands
To @emonsalt
Yes, and those dragons of the subspecies Varanus komodoensis hall-and-oates.bring a whole new meaning to the term "man-eater."
For the algorithm 👊
I have one in my tank
One what?
Lmao what

@@BeardedRealm nice
I saw a video that said the red handfish was a new discovery... I think the other video was lying because how would we know their number counts if they're a new discovery?
The red handfish was described in 1844. But, there were a couple of new populations discovered a few years ago.
@@all.about.nature4630 oh, ok. Thanks for clarifying. :)
You forgot palpigrades

:O
This channel is astounding it should be part of school curriculum, it would endear nature to children.
I am consistently shocked that dog clubs forbid outcrossing every other animal species is allowed to outbreed this weird purity obsession is terrible for the dogs and you can keep the same aesthetic standards without requiring inbreeding.
Not all purebred dogs are inbred. Working type dogs tend not to be as it impacts health and longevity and don’t care about dog show looks.
Some breeds can't reproduce naturally anymore due to extreme body types. The dog show industry isn't always good for dog or cat breeds IMO
This has literally nothing to do with wild animals
@@jordyb57 sorry I accidentally commented on the wrong video
Thanos was and always right.
