- They're the deadliest thing on Earth. They suck your blood and spread disease, killing nearly one million people each year. Are we talking about vampires? Lions? Gorillas? Actually, none of these things. We're talking about mosquitoes. Are mosquitoes really this deadly? What would happen if they all disappeared? Would humanity be better off?

With all the accidental extinctions humanity has caused, it would be nice if we could pull one off for our own collective benefit.
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
I am sorry. You think the world's needs more humans who are more dangerous than mosquito?
Mosquitos cause temporary issue for humans.
But humans cause permanent damage to earth.

I do agree with the fact mosquitos keeping our population in check cuz we don't want billions of people on earth because then we will all probably go extinct.
@@ghosteewarren5544 bro srsly i dont want ppl to suffer because already millions of ppl are already experiencing great loss from covid.

Even if one small thing disrupts it we can all die in just years or even months.
Yes
With the amount of stupid shit humans do that gets ourselves killed, i dont think we need to worry about mosquitoes keeping our population in check.

Then we’ll move on to ticks, bed bugs, and fleas lol

@@DonMr-Sir not true
@@reedmidge4716 what are their purpose on this earth then?
@@slikisokus this is the reason we were looking for - total game-changer
@@DonMr-Sir I am suprised alot of people dont know this, which is sad. Did you know many aquatic species in natural ponds, rivers, lakes, and marshlands rely on mosquito larvae as their main food soruce. Especially smaller fish species, which are food also for larger preadatory fish. Therefore, by annihilate them is actually doing more harm than good in the long term as destorying or altering food web of the ecosystem in rivers. Scarcity of food for smaller fish leads to scarcity of food for bigger fish and so on. Moreover, Mosquito larvae are mainly detritivores which helps recycle aquatic enviroment. Furthermore, mosquito are also pollinators as male mosquitoes are attracted to flowers and fruits (not only bees are pollentors) Over all, NO MORE mosquito put more impact on other insects species as well.

Dude i said pengolins where the heck did u get BaTs
Basically, bat's got the virus but don't transfer directly to humans. There has to be a creature in between for a mutation to occur and coz many wild life are in China wet markets, pengolin being one of them, the virus in the bats came it's way to the pengolin. Humans ate the pengolin and Covid 19 happened.

YES
Fun fact: there were mosquito species that lived alongside dinosaurs. Due to a different atmosphere with more oxygen (apparently) the mosquitoes grew to become much larger than they are today.
Anyway. If mosquitoes were around back then, don’t think we can start something now to completely eradicate them.
I mean, the dinosaurs were eradicated, and we’ve caused the extinction of a lot of other animals. At this point, I wouldn’t put anything past us.
@@ThomasCurrie1024we've mostly eradicated big mammals, and sometimes small animals specific to particular islands. Small, successful, worldwide spread animals are a different thing - and the consequences (unlike this stupid video is trying to make us think) unforeseeable.

The problem with getting rid of mosquitoes is that something other would take their place. Some flies are potential candidate to do that and it actually could worsen the situation. On top of that - this change would irreversible.

I swear, I get bitten by mosquitos so much that I have a feeling I’ll eventually die because of them. But as much as I wish they were eradicated off the face of the earth, it’s gonna be very difficult, and would take a very long time since there are so many of them.
I think the coolest thing about mosquitoes is how they use blood. It's used to help create larvae. It's almost like, mosquitos are hybrids of mosquito and whatever they take blood from. I see a new SyFy original movie....
