“Good heavens, what insect could suck it” made me choke on my water.
Fr 💀
Looking into the Wollemi pine, it seems to have come extremely close to extinction thousands of years ago, as all the existing trees are genetically identical, suggesting that at some point only one or two trees were alive. Given how hardy it is, it makes me wonder just what could have happened that effected it so badly.
I'd guess a bad fire, probably one that went berserk after aboriginies lit it to burn down bushes and trees to hunt wildlife.
I love a good curiosity
One of the coolest things about this channel is that one could click on the "Like" button before even watching a video and not regret it by the end of the video. All of the "All About Nature" films are always excellent.
actually the only channel that I have notifications on for. it's literally like Christmas day whenever you upload 😭
@@HarvestingThings Awesome! Thanks for being here.
Fr... its like I'm a kid again, learning the natural world with child-like wonder.
@@Soulmodulation exactly this. i remember being a kid and being so excited to learn animals facts. this channel really captures that same feeling 🥹
@@all.about.nature1987 as soon as i finish grad school im joining your patreon 🫡
thanks for bringing us this kind of content!!!! I'm always waiting for a new video @@all.about.nature1987
The introduced"water mould" is Phytophthora cinnamomi, an oomycete (not a fungus).
I live in Australia and when I was younger, our school received a cutting of Wollemi pine and we had a ceremony and everything about it. The next day when we got to school, it was destroyed by vandals 😢
Why tf you vandalise that
the living dinosaur tree one is insane
There is the wild plant called "cupu", from which the domesticated "cacao" and also domesticated "cupuacu" versions come from. It was recently determined, by genetic studies, that the domestication of cacao and cupuacu is 5.000 years old.
At 16:20 the “typical dromornithidae skull” is actually the skull of a Phorusrhacid (Phorusrhacidae), which are more closely related to Seriemas.
I just heard about the littlest pig found in the foothills of Himalayas. It apparently lives with the one horned rhinoceros. Would love to hear about it from you.
Ah the Pygmy Hogs of Kaziranga National Park, Assam, India.
Kaziranga is one of greatest National parks in India if not the world.
The Indian One Horned Rhinos, Pygmy Hogs, Leopards, Tigers (one of the highest densities in the world + the only wild sighting of the Golden Tiger mutation), Great Pied Hornbills, Indian Elephants, Hog Badgers (a weird Mustelid), 9 of the 14 species of Primates in India including a species of Gibbon (the only ape in India) as well as a population of WILD Water Buffalo, THE ancestral species from which all Buffalo 🐃 come from, all exist in Kaziranga National Park in Assam.
Truly a must visit place
As a nature nerd I love this channel so much and I look forward to every upload! Keep up the great work!
Man Gladiators are such cool insects
Like every one of them
@@cevatkokbudak6414 Invasive Gypsy moths are not cool
@@thedarkmasterthedarkmaster I had forgotten about the invasive ones
@@cevatkokbudak6414 I made a video on the gypsy moths
The skull at left at 16:20 is certainly not a Dromornithid; it is probably a phorusrhachid, or "terror bird", which are not related at all and existed on a different landmass (the Americas). They were also predatory, while the dromornithids were almost certainly mostly herbivorous. Dromornithids did not have hooked beaks like that; the shot at 14:40 is a very nice depiction of what a typical dromornithid beak looks like. Genyornis was also not different in its affinities from other dromornithids since they are all related; they are all close to both waterfowl and landfowl, but there is dispute about the details.
Here's a discovery:
Lord Howe Island Stick Insect
Extinct on it's home island but found km away on Ball's Pyramid on a single small tree.
This is such an enjoyable video to watch, thanks.
To @erichtomanek4739
There are now captive populations at several zoos, and it is hoped that one day after the extirpation of introduced pest species they can be reintroduced to Lord Howe Island itself.
Yep. They’re in the process of totally eradicating rodents from Lord Howe so they can bring back the “tree lobsters”
AAN did an entire video about them on his channel.
Great topic, I also find the story of the Wollemi pine amazing in that they are now available to the public and yet sad that the original population is threatened by disease, thanks for sharing
All the best Jules 💕
To @julescaru8591
Let's hope that a way can be found to combat the disease in the wild plants. 'Tis quite good that there are now separate populations as a protection against extinction of the species.
Not sure if this counts of a discovery or not, but the 2012 paper claiming Pygmy Right Whales are a species of Cetothere surprised me.
I've just discovered your channel, and it's absolutely awesome. You're doing great work! Subscribed 🙂
We love you content!! Thanks for keep doing it...
I watched this video 2 weeks ago, we went on vacation and visited the Eden project in the UK and i recognised the Wollemi Pine in their collection because of you!
Great Job on this..
AAN could you do a video about all the plants with only 1 individual currently? (Hyophorbe amaricaulis etc.)
Just recently found your channel, but love the videos! your voice is soothing and everything is so interesting!
Imagine what Marjorie Courtenay Latimer thought when she saw that coelocanth. It'd be like finding a velociraptor carcass in a butcher shop
lol
Ehh maybe
08:11 that's actually very wholesome
I know it is less common to discover new mammals and larger animals. I remember a few years ago there was a discovery of some sort of weasel or otter of some kind found in a relatively remote forest lake or something
i love your videos so much!!!! :D
Love your content mannnn
I love your channel
Great video 👍
16:19 That's not a dromornithid skull, it belongs to Phorusrhacos, one of the many popularly called terror birds which lived in the Americas and were carnivorous. The typical Dromornithid skull actually looks very similar to that of Genyornis since the two are closely related, but for some reason over the years many reconstructions gave it an inaccurate goose-like skull. Weird since there are even cave painting of Genyornis showing it had a clearly large beak.
So, more like Gastornis?
@@SnubbyDaArtist Yes, they had a similar beak due to their similar diet but Gastornis too is not that closely related to Dromornithids. It lived many millions of years earlier in Europe and North America. The best example for Genyornis is Dromornis
We have a species of tree in NZ called Three Kings Kaikōmako which when discovered was the only wild tree. It was found on the side of a cliff and nicknamed "The worlds loneliest tree". It's still critically endangered but has been breed in captivity since.
Nooo
Sansevieria sambiranensis syn. Dracaena sambiranensis would be a species I would like featured in one of your videos. I’m obsessed with snake plants and I find these to be one of the more interesting ones. The history of both genera would be interesting to dive into as well. Especially with the recent genetic testing done which has many people assimilating Sansevieria into Dracaena.
I absolutely love your content btw
❤️🔥
Bros had been dancing on the keyboard when they making the name
Amazing video, as always! I hope you can do another video on prehistoric/dinosaurs (maybe cryptid videos?)
I recently discovered your channel, I must say that I love it, it is so very well documented. I've always had a strange fascination for extinct or very rare animals. I would love to see a video about "extinct in the wild". Thank you for taking your time to make such good and well put videos
@@matiascallegarihowlin7466 thanks! And I'm glad you like the channel.
I actually do have a video about species that are extinct in the wild. It was uploaded about a year ago, but is easy to find on my channel. I hope you enjoy it.
Another outstanding video - thank you so much for your hard work! I knew about the coelacanth, sphinx moth, Wollemi Pine and cycad but the others were new to me. We can only hope that drastic measures will be put in place to protect the Rice's whale but I fear this isn't going to happen. I love your videos about new, rediscovered and highly endangered species. When I visited New Zealand I made a point of visiting a protected area to see the Takahe which "disappeared" for 50 years before being rediscovered in 1948. It was a marvellous yet sobering experience to be so close to these iconic birds.
I love watching videos on animals living and extinct. Animals have always been a big part of my life. I love going to different states and finding different species of reptiles and fish and any other animals I can find.
I remember reading about some of these.
24:10 How many species are named after him?
So far, there's this moth and the Giant Wallace Bee.
I can't tell you how many, but what came to my mind is the wallace flying frog
To @robrice7246
For birds, Wallace's Standardwing, Wallace's Fairywren and Wallace's Fruit Dove.
coelacanth are honestly adorable. they remind me of like an old grandpa koi but with a dull galaxy colour palette they're honestly just gorgeous
I’m so happy you posted again. I play with myself to your voice! It’s so soft but masculine.
Lol
@@jimc.goodfellas226 what
WHAT THE FVCK
BLOODY GROSS!!
Alfred Russel Wallace honestly deserves to be known better. Absolute legend, as Simon Whistler would say.
Wow did not know about the mantophasmids. Fascinating that they were preserved in a time capsule from when Europe was subtropical and then to be discovered still extant in the Southern Hemisphere. I wonder when and how they went extinct everywhere else?
VIDEO SUGGESTION: mega cats, the feral huge cat of australia
There are definitely more than 500 Cycads in the small town that I stay in South Africa, this is not a fact check but rather shows the efforts of locals to keep dwindling species alive. I grew up with a few in our garden.
Wait why does the anaconda name break naming nomenclature?.... I thought the discoverer just named it whatever they wanted.
Likely the original description is believed to be of a northern snake, and so it should maintain the original name, and the southern snake be given the new name.
Looking into it, it seems that it's because there had been prior attempts to break off a northern species, but they were thought to not be distinct enough and so were relegated to the subspecies level. The principle of priority, then, says that the earliest proposed name is the one that should be used - in this case, one from one of those prior attempts, since it already described a northern green anaconda (in some sense).
Love the video!!
Just wanted to do a small correction, Bárbara Freitas is not Spanish she just works in Spain quite often, both Martim Melo and Bárbara are Portuguese.
Thanks again for the great video and work!! 😁☺️
Have you covered the likely first extinct hornbill, Penelopides panini ticaensis? Its a subspecies of the beautiful and endangered Visayan hornbill, and was only found on the island of Ticao. The bird was last seen in a group of 3 in 1971. Its likely extinct, as only 10 acres of its former habitat still exist. I can't find a whole lot about it, but maybe you can find more.
I found out about the species from a lithograph that I bought, and it became one of my favorite birds.
that is literally so depressing...
New Zealand has some very rare and interesting plants and birds that are thought to have gone extinct only too be rediscovered,
Like the Black Robin,
In the 80s around five birds were found on a small island
Nice that they named the owl after the park ranger who helped many scientists will selfishly name species after themselves or family members…disregarding the people usually natives of the place that helped them track and discover new species
pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee part 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you should cover the silk henge spiders
i was wondering if you’d be interested in making a video about beaked whales, or including them in a video! specifically a spade toothed whale washed up on an island new zealand earlier in july, one of only 6 known specimens of the species, which got me interested in them. i think it’s interesting that they’re so little known and rare! maybe you’ve already done a video on them and i missed it but i thought it may be an interesting topic
❤❤
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the Northern Green Anaconda described from a massive specimen that was discovered in early 2024?
Great video, thanks. For some reason Bryde's is pronounced Broo dahs. Weird, huh?
Great video as always, although Bryde's is pronounce like "broo-duhs."
Dutch, me thinks.
5:22 The African Scops Owl be like: 🤨
we have a similar plant like Wollemi pine when i was young in philippines but its just like 7 or 10ft, but now i dont see it anymore, its not like a tree but a big plant
You could do a whole video on animals (moths, bats, birds) that were discovered just because of a newly found weird flower.
I ❤ nature :3
The world's smallest water lily
(Nymphaea thermarum)
Mascarene petrel (Pseudobulweria aterrima)
Cafe Marron
(Ramosmania rodriguesi)
The Drom skull isn’t the right one, the left is a terror bird skull
"Bone House" Wasp...Sarcophagus means Flesh Eating [box in this case], I believe, in ancient Greek? IT's what they called the boxes in Israel that the bodies of dead Hebrews/Jews would be put into after death. Fitting name for these wasps due to what they do. Of course, the real reason these wasps like to put the ants in their entrances is because they just love the theme to The Pink Panther.
Dead Ant, Dead Ant, Dead Ant, Dead Ant, Dead Ant, Dead Ant, Dead Ant, Dead Ant, Dead Ant, Dead Ant, Dead Ant, Dead Ant, Dead Ant, Dead Ant, Dead Ant, Dead Ant, Dead Ant, Dead Ant,
Did your voice change?
He's smoking 5 - 10 packs of siggies a day to get that husky voice!
Over 1,000 owls in just 5 square miles???
The Northern green Anaconda is very doubtful and is likely to be a clade within the species.
😮😮
They nerfed Newton's Thunderbird
Is this a re upload?
21:11 - 21:19 As if its Escarpment cousin wasn't doing bad enough.
What saddened me about the cycad story is that the female plants are (hopefully not) extinct.
Unless at least one is found, no more genetic variation for this species.
🐳🐳🐳🐳
26:31 I've seen various photos of its Indonesian cousin, but no proper videos (especially since I consider L. menadoensis the lesser known of the two).
I was so sad when the video ended :/
I saw a snake manatee, I sent it.
Jesus Rivas was first author on the Eunectus paper, not Bryan Fry.
6:21 to be fair, I don't blame them for being scared
Did you get a new mic? You sound like a whole different person
Wow by total fluke I visited Dauphin Island 3 days before the oil spill. I have heard about the impact for years but didn't know about the whales...
Lizards have more new species found on google recently
Different voice???
Same great content but the voice DID seem different!
@@kaisarjibrilartasyah4866 I've had issues with my throat for the past month. This is the third recording I've made for this video. You're right, I sound quite different.
@@all.about.nature1987oh ok, this voice is deeper I think
Does his voice sound different ?
Under 1 hour gang
luck , that they are discovered before its to late
relicanth irl
Because we are in the 6th great extinction...
Trees should never be endangered. Humanity sucks, we are literally the worst thing to happen to our world.
Yeah true but sometimes some trees are just not quality enough to compete with others
I’m sorry people made you change ur thumbnail I personally thought it was pretty petty but it’s cool you listen to criticism. Since monetization is the difference between this being a job and a hobby I wonder if you can cut some of this content for tik tok considering how monetize able it is. Good luck with everything hope ur throat is healing up well.
I won't be noticed by sanpi :(
The northern green anaconda is not a new species. 3 mitochondrial genes is not enough to define a new species, it only represents a different gene pool, especially when taken into account that mitochondrial DNA is much more volatile than something like nuclear DNA (which the team found no difference in) which would otherwise be a much more reliable indicator of speciation since it evolves much slower. To establish a species, ideally you also need to study its nuclear genome and sample as much as possible. E. akiyama has been accepted as a disputed species in a month with 2 papers criticizing its nomenclature and its criteria for a new species.
Juup
people gonna ruin a good thing......pine trees.
Cryptids
Thank god he changed the thumbnail xd
I thought it was interesting to see the face behind the voice
I didn"t like it cuz when I first saw it, I thought it was some cheap click-baity content, they usually have a suprised face slapped on the thumbnail and flashy/ bright colors
the voice is different are you ill my good sir
I remember studying the coelacanth-as-a-transitional-species theory as definitive proof of evolution in highschool science growing up in the 1980s. Maybe scientists are more careful now not to force the fossil to fit the narrative. I am not an ignorant religious zealot to say that God's world is complex, beautifully varied, and full of amazing surprises.
