What is /an/'s favourite nature documentary? For me it's Attenborough's "The Life of X" collection. I've rewatched it recently, and the thing I like about it the most is that it puts more emphasis on life's diversity and how various creatures are adapted to their environment, rather then to try to show a story or a pretty picture, which is what most documentaries do.
>>5122557was like the only part of it that i remembered
>>5105231i've watched a documentary about whales on disney+, it was cute
>>5105231I wouldn't say favorite, but Underdogs was actually an entertaining miniseries.
my favorite /an/ documentary of all time. short and to the pointhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6CLumsir34
>>5127325yes they are!
>Go to Australia>See a little bright and cute octopus>Pick it up>Get bit>Die from respiratory failure I'll never visit the hellhole, but if I were to find myself there I'd mind my own fucking business.
>>5132573Some animals also look wildly different and are the same species. In the end it comes down to 'do they mix naturally' and since we humans tend to fuck everything, subspecies of us mostly cease to exist upon discovery. The senegalese might count eventually If they keep defenses up.
>>5128188god. imagine if we had done this to all natives and picked our own fucking cotton...

>>5125753>Noooo, not the heckin' seal hunters that would routinely raid each other villages, kill the men, and rape the women or keep them as slaves>They had such a vibrant culture!They were all Viking niggers but with none of the civilization Tired of acting like each of these backward cavemen tribes are somehow noble and should be lauded, despite all evidence pointing to them being no better than animals. World is better off without them.
Check out my shrimp bruh
>>5128601There were reports of what looked like recent trilobite tracks from scientists in a submarine in the 60's but they couldn't find them again on a second expedition
>>5133473Oh my god
>>5133473jews fear then
asian people will see these and say looks delicious
>>5128601The problem is they weren't solitary creatures, they were like living carpets that would scour the sea floor looking for things to eat which is why they're such a good index fossil. And that niche has been filled by newer arthropods like crabs, shrimp, and lobster.

>>5122866I loved his narration of Codex Pajeet II. Shine on you crazy diamond.
>>5123295No, their overpopulation will tank when the water scarcity starts. They won't have a chance to become as advanced as the West. As of right now though there is an overpopulation problem in parts of the world.

Why don't elephants just kill and eat all the predators in the wild? They could if they wanted to, and it would give them a lot less to worry about.
>>5134977>No animal would fight a predator that's not chasing them to save another animalWronghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVrLYHFN-3chttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3dCSIgwuighttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvlAwaHruvAStallions will attack predators for merely getting too close to the herd, and they're not special in this behavior. This is why herbivores can be more dangerous than carnivores because it can attack you for merely being too close regardless if it's hungry or not.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQ8PRqy8vQIHumpback whales will protect even other species from orcas.>and certainly a whole herd wouldn't gang up on predatorsYou don't know what mobbing is?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovBvGelWHIk
Elephants are too big to fight off predators effectively. Much less a whole pack of them.
elephants have souls and experience compassion
>>5135137They would only do that if the predator was small and weak. If it was a big strong predator, the herd wouldn't gang up to outnumber it, they would just run.But all these example you're giving are about defence against a hunt by a predator. No prey would go seeking predators to kill them.
>>5135250>They would only do that if the predator was small and weak. If it was a big strong predator, the herd wouldn't gang up to outnumber it, they would just run.There were lions, tigers, alligators, and great white sharks. If those are weak, what's a big strong predator to you?>all these example you're giving are about defence against a hunt by a predator.Did you not see the horse stomping on an alligator that was just standing there?
Otters are in vogue this life cycle
Why are all otters cute EXCEPT for the Giant River Otter?It's like what if we made a nightmare fucked up version of your childhood favorite stuffed animal. It has no grace, Its eyes devoid of gods light. A vicious mockery of a wonderful species.

Convergent evolution is my oersonal favourite. The idea of unrelated animals evolving similar features due to evolutionary pressures to fit into similar niches is fascinating.
