    About the fish: Some researchers have discovered that certain birds that eat fish and or aquatic plants that fish lay eggs on or around, can pass fish egg through their digestive tract and then poop them out intact. This is how they figure that manmade water holes and quarries, have developed fish populations.

      @borisdragosani7584 Před 2 lety +186

      I would say that isn't a possibility in this circumstance. The fish is a golden white cloud minnow, and they are extinct in the wild. So unless some bird went on a rampage in someone's house, ate all their pet fish and proceeded to shit eggs everywhere or the bird birthed the fish out of thin air, i would assume it came as a hitch hiker from the petstore he got the prawns at

    Just a reassurance from your local bat rescuer, the fungus in bat poop is present in most animal poop and only becomes a problem in huge concentration, and poor air flow, like a cave, which these bats don’t live in. More likely to be an issue in dairy farms than under a flying fox colony 😊

    I might be a little bit late as im sure someone else has already said this somewhere in the coments, but Salticidae (the whole jumping spider taxonomic family) are known to be one of the most inteligent groups of invertebrates. Often seen taking new aproaches to prey and in some cases, specially with a species known as Portia Labiata, they have shown the capabilities of both remember a prey and act accordingly, hunting with specific tactics, and of hunting in small groups of two or three individuals

Though, they often give in if there are enough people, but there was one that was quite threatening, it was genuinely scary. And it's not like they ever attack, I usually chicken out first and retreat back indoors, so props for actually being able to deal with them.

      @@spacecthulhu399 For people who don't speak it, you guessed right, "vleermuis" = bat and literally translates to "flying mouse". I'm also reasonably sure (second language, native English-speaker) that flying foxes, like the fruit bats IDAT showed, are vleerhond, literally "flying dog". In English we call them flying foxes so to be fair we're not better lmao.

    You should put up some nesting boxes! Possums, gliders and different birds will love them!

    Thank you for showing what colorfully and terifing animals live as your backyard roommates imagine if the butcher bird was super big that would be terrifying

    I live in Denmark and yeah this is insane to me, the most exciting animal here are hedgehogs or badgers. I guess unless you count the sea stuff like whales and seals but those aren't easy to spot.

    Never seen a fruit bat in my yard, but sometimes when I'm at mates place for a party late into the night some might fly overhead, and it's pretty cool when you notice.
