You guys are so RAD!
Some of what I've learned - Snakes are lizards, birds are reptiles, some snakes have legs, and humans are crap dolphins.
Birds are dinosaurs
Bananas are berries
The term "Fish" is taxonomically invalid
David LS bananas are actually pods, They have seeds like a fruit but grow in clusters like a pea pod
@@yadadsellsavon1703 you know what else is clustered? Rasberries.
@@saltytattie833 raspberries are arils, like pomegranates.
SirNeutral 🤣😂 💩🐬 😂🤣
To be perfectly fair, Argentine Tegus make terrible dolphins too.
Still better dolphins than many other animals
Just like deer
Dude they swim really well better that humans
Sarcasm will be the death of us
Not if the dolphins complete their experiments!
*Clint casually links 5 dictionary resources to tell argenteen gang to get bent in the nicest way possible*
then is like, yeah i lived there
drops some spanish
continues like it didn't happen, talkin bout tegus
i just found this channel and i am so pleased.
😂😂😂😂 Because he's a Boss like that! It's all about confidence! I love how he's modest enough to have accepted he could be wrong, so he did his research though. He's just an amazing soul all around.
I fell over laughing. That's exactly what he did
Argentine!
Came outta the corner swingin!
You're saying Argentine correctly. Love from Argentina!!!! 😘

@@samkeey8723 oof seconded.
@@samkeey8723 have fun with the naval base/sheep ranch.
Would we be able to see gus gus’s enclosure some times? It would be really cool to have an example of what a great tegu enclosure looks like
Natasha Saphire Oh! I totally agree! I’d love to get one, but I can’t picture how big it would truly need to be!
I agree!
Yessssssssss
Karen Dobrowolski 8x4x4
Yes where is this video
Clint's righteous campaign to vindicate his pronunciation of Argentine is simply inspirational
I'm a simple human- I see Gus Gus, I click IMMEDIATELY
Gus gus for life.
Gus Gus and Bubba Chunk are my favorite reptiles.
Thoroughly impressed by your Spanish. I remember when I first heard you say 'Argentine' and I immediately investigated to see if you and I were right. So it brings me much happiness to see to defend the pronunciation. Merry Christmas!
Emely Vaca you are so amazing ibsubbed yo you. Please stay AMAZING
Language is malleable anyway. However it's pronounced is how it's heard, and how it's heard is how it's pronounced. That's how (in my opinion) bizarre slang came about (although this deals more with phrases than individual word pronunciation, but they are similar phenomena regardless) such as "what it do" or "I'mma be" or, to go back to individual word pronunciation, even speaking "water" as "wadder."
It's like the language itself is alive, vicariously through those who use it. Nobody can predict what modern slang will sound like in 20 years, and some words we know will probably be said a bit differently too.
Bummed that I never had a biology teacher like Clint growing up, then again Clint himself would have been too young 😒
This vid was awesome but damn, I can’t wait for the “snakes are lizards” video 😱
'Non-snake Lizard'- I got a chuckle from that! It's amazing how we keep learning more and more!!!
It's like saying 'Non-avian' herpetology... Numbskulls don't know 'birds' (Aves) are reptiles...
@@g.rodriguez7445 To be fair, in general they look far from reptiles, if you're not laser-focused on their feet.
@@mikeexits wdym they look exactly like the reptiles you see singing in the morning and perched on trees
The part about dolphins had me in stitches! love gus gus videos! keep up the good work chap.
Clint being a savage for the first two minutes
Clint, I really love the way you say “Hi there!”
It’s sweet.
New video from Clint. Great way to start the weekend!!
And people actually get upset about pronouncing Argentine?? Also dolphins sound very judgmental. 🤣🤣
They are the worst! 🐬
@@ClintsReptiles Can't say I am surprised. Always smirking and laughing at us hoomans.
Yay, another stinkin rad video!! 😁😁
That's the spirit!
You are beautiful Sarah, if you do not mind me saying.
How many people here don't own a lizard and have no intention of getting one but are just subscribed because Clint's videos are so interesting (or to use his favorite term awesome)?
I just want to say, I went to my first Repticon and one of my goals was to hold a tegu because I liked GusGus so much! I got to hold a juvenile wild-caught female. She was pretty chill for being wild caught, she sat on my hand a while
Love it. My first and only reptile expo was a great experience, years ago. My friends and I went in with nothing and left with a baby/juvenile Brazilian Rainboa. It's too bad I haven't seen her more than once in the past few years though, I really should ask if I can hold her again. They're beautiful snakes. I miss my friend's Ball Python too. We named him Newt the Noodle :D
Your dolphin fact has me dead😂
"He just forgot to come up for air- and died." Oh my GOSH! I just DIED! I love dolphins more now, thanks, Clint!!
Yes! This video is all i wanted. Love Gusgus
We listen :)
Hi! I love your videos, and you’re pronouncing Argentine correctly! As a rule of thumb, when a word is borrowed/adapted from one language to another, it adopts the rules of the receiving language. So yes, while Argentinians may pronounce it differently, it is still perfectly fine to say “-tīn” in American English 😁
As an Argentinian who speaks everyday with english-speaking people, I have to say I've never ever pronounced it Argent"teen", I've always believed that that people who said argenteen were pronouncing it that way because they were confusing it with french
@@tomyfabri Darle bola a argentinos sobre pronunciación en inglés es... Curioso. La mayoría sale con el "Argentinian", que ese sí que me revienta.
Love the video, by the way your Spanish is 👌🏽
RIGHT NEXT TO OUR DICTIONARIES! OMG I’m dying 😂😂
"she looked nothing like a Tegu" omg 😂😂😂
I had a 2 year old Colombian Black and White that scared the people at the pet shop but after I spent a little time with her she actually calmed down a lot... unfortunately she passed on but seeing Gus Gus makes me want another Tegu
Clint your videos are stinkin' awesome! You remind me of Bill Nye. And that's the highest compliment I can give. He was my favorite science entertainer.
Yesssss!!!!!
Bill Nye? The science guy?
@Kristian Martin Nope. Ben Nye, the performance arts stage makeup brand.
I for one, welcome our dolphin overlords.
How dare you say the word Argentine, when it's pronounced Argentine!!! :) lol. Love your channel man. Have a great Christmas :)
This is probably the most entertaining video that I've seen as of yet from you guys. Nice job! I laughed a lot ^_^
This video made me laugh so hard! I wait every Saturday for your vids to come out and it was great to see Gus Gus get another one!
Clint, your videos bring me so much joy! You're enthusiasm is contagious and I always learn something!
I work in animal Care and I am doing a large live presentation on our own Argentine Tegu this week and I came here for inspiration but stayed for your humor!
Your videos are so awesome! Thanks for the great info and love seeing Gus Gus!
I'm a happy Tegu owner so any info you provide is always appreciated. Thank you Clint and your team!!!
I especially love learning about the taxonomy and greatly appreciate names being shown in text, makes it much easier to learn and understand. Great as always Clint!
YES. I’m so happy to see another Tegu video! Thank you for such amazing content. Hope you have a Merry Christmas. Or a happy Holidays.
Hey man Yo soy Argentino, born in Buenos Aires. I live in the USA now. I always knew the word of my country is pronounce Argentine. Before I learned English.
Thank you for putting the ignorant people in their places. I love the fact that you did it actually in Spanish.
We just got a hatchling red tegu! Slowly getting her used to our smells and hands :) We love your videos!
The way you pronounce it makes sense to me since it is easier to follow “Argentine” with “Tegu”. Think of saying “my son” in Spanish, almost no one says “Mi Hijo”, they say “mijo” because it’s easier. That being said, your pronunciation is completely right
This was definitely worth watching... esp the bloopers 😂😍
This video is great as always. Thank you for all the information!
Thank You for your Sincerity, Clint.
3:45 Dropping knowledge... This guy's sneaking epistemology & philosophical discussion into a rad lizard video!
I love Clint's enthusiasm and extensive information.
I had no idea you lived in South America. You have a great Spanish!! Now I love your channel even more.
Your enthusiasm is awesome, as is your channel keep it up dude.
I love your videos. Your "Hi there!" intro makes my day
I adore this channel! Awesome video clint!
This reminded me so much of this quote, "If you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree it will live its whole life beliving it is an idiot" Albert Einstein
I love how organized all of your videos are
I just found your channel and I adore you and your family! I have been really wanting a scaley friend again for a while. Until I can ill just binge on you and Dav's informative videos. Keep up the great work 💚💚
I've been looking forward to this video!!
You are so cheery it's scary and endearing at the same time. You're adorable.
I love how informative this video was, all while making me laugh through the entire thing! Hilariously educational! The best kind of teaching.
Btw, beautiful roll, GusGus! Do you think you could teach my dog that trick? 🤣
Love these videos
You have grown on me I liked your channel now I love it thank you for your videos and you rock
This guy is great, I saw 10 seconds of a vid and subbed instantly :)
I use to have an argentine tegu when I was young cause my brother did reptile shows. Im getting one probably within the next year or two! I am super excited about it. I love how passionate you are about argentine tegus cause I love them so much and dont see as many people talk about them!
Thank you Clint for this rad video. I looooove Tegus :)
You're so welcome. Such cool lizards.
You're a trip Clint!
Thanks so much for sharing the knowledge sir. Gus-gus is awesome by the way.
I spit water out my mouth when he described how dolphins view us hahaha good one man!
You know the video will be good, when it starts with a Tegu making a death roll
Brand new to your Channel and due to your statement at the beginning I am going to subscribe now😁
I've watched three of your videos and this one cracked me up enough and ya got got me with that one👏🙌🤙
Clint say it however you like bro just keep the videos coming. My niece loves them she is 8 years old and cannot get enough.
Great video!
Me and the tegu are twins, I also roll (to get out of bed but still twins)
This is one of my favorite channels on CZcams right now. I've watched like all the videos at least twice. I can't wait until I have enough saved up for a reptile on my own. I would love a Black and White Argentine Tegu, but due to not much space I'll deal with something smaller first.
I love your video, Clint. Argentine - Argentin. It does not matter. Your content is what matters. So keep on doing you. More power!!
I've been gone from this channel for a hot second, but it's good to be back! I loved the video and keep it up guys! ♥️
Nice to have you back :)
Seeing gus gus pose for the camera makes my day. We need more Gus Gus content!!
I LOVE Tegu “death rolls” so much.
loved this video. super fun and interesting. gus gus is a gorgeous lizard. i can’t wait to get my hands on one when i’m a bit older
All the dictionary links actually in the description makes my day
I am saving up for a tegu so i decided to do research and ur video is my favorite video so far
Man me&my wife said,,nice funny lol video this time we both still loves your channel thanks god bless.
😂the whole bit where he’s talking about dolphins assessing humans is the funniest thing ever
Have a merry Christmas Clint! ☃️⛄️
Clint...you're just great
I think you are the best at describing tegus
great info.
Lots of tegus in my town (sao Paulo state, brazil) I love these guys and I'm always happy to see them around. They're in our Atlantic forest preservation park ❤
Im from Paraguay and discovered just last night that these are kept as pets, this one is called teyú guasú hu (nasal u) in Guarani (big black tegu)
Gotta love Tegus such great animals and pets.
I love this video watched ot a few times. GusGus is a beauty.
this dude's nuts about lizards. I'm in!
Your spanish sounds great clint ! Greetings from Mexico. love your channel and content
Yes clint. Looking forward to this video. Your first tegu video helped me a lot when I was researching tegus. My little fella is now a little over 4 months old :-)
Aren't they amazing creatures??
@@ClintsReptiles they really are :-) he has bitten a handful of times though - I think he sees the fingers as food, as he wont do it when I have a glove on. I hope he will grow out of that habit, but other than that, really great! I spend hours a day with him, so hopefully we'll have a strong bond later on :-)
The idea of dolphins trying to judge human intelligence by how well we act like dolphins is probably the funniest thing I’ve ever heard. It’s certainly the funniest thing I’ve heard today.
Cute tegu♡♡♡♡
As a fluent spanish speaker i can confidently say that your Spanish is really good!
Clint is Savage lol good job!
Hahaha I love how you went about this video! New subscriber 👏👏🔥🐊🦎
We don’t have time to hear about all your book learnings !! Lol Love your videos man
you have a really fun personality i love it
Clint had me cracking up with the pronounciation bit! 😂
My dad is from Argentina and we've always pronounced it the more popular, yet incorrect, way. Lol.
Que lindo animal. Gracias.
I’m not a big fan of lizards but this, this intrigues me
Links to dictionaries in the description. This was a hilarious video.
Awesome yet again. Any chance of a mountain horned lizard video in the future?
