Kinda weird to say "New Guinean Passerine" instead of something more specific

aside from learning about these wonderous aninals. I learned a new word today. sequester. thanks Sci-Show

Nile red ♥️

The birds are called hooded pitohui.

If we’re talking about science music, I’m giving a shout out to Neutrino of Love.

Pigeons swallow castor seed whole and fly away.

Anyone else notice the voice change @9:42 only for a sentence or so, it sounds as if someone else narrated that part. My uneducated guess, based solely on thousands of hours watching and listening to DElevel science related channels, is it was the voice of Science DElevelr, Nile Red. Can anyone confirm this?

Tomato horn worms eat nicotine to spray on wolf spiders.

Wait, why do penguins steal others' chicks? To eat or raise? Why would they raise someone else's kids?

I'm surprised that you didn't mention that poison dart frogs themselves steal thoer toxins from the ants they feed on.

Natures little Evolutionary adaptations, quirks of experimentation over eons to suite ones lifestyle see not all bad humans just abuse everything thats another story?

See intoxication of toxins help everything to escape a hard life from a cup of tea to a lighter fuel binge on the other extreme. my bag is coffee one of the most addictive substances known if i don't get my fix im a bear with a sore head the next day, Animals by chance or desire get a taste for there fix too .When life is tough you head for your special stuff that takes the hardship away ?

Nature I need toxins. To ward off predators? To ward off predators. Actually gets eaten for its toxin like a boss. Useless time

The “passerines” are passerines, but are specifically pitohuis. Passerines as a whole include crows, sparrows, etc.

Scishow is awesome ❤️

Music for scientists? Guns'n Roses?

All of these descriptions include sentences like “Scientists don’t know how this animal does this.” Nature is truly wonderful.

hey, I've heard some other's voice other than Stephan's

Here's a tip, when you're doing your ADR do it under the same circumstances as the original recording (equipment, location, posture, etc), then have the post production people post process it the same way. Otherwise it just sounds so jarringly different.

When I think of animal thieves, I think of seagulls.

Wait wait we just going to skip over that penguin chicknap

Why’s this video sound like a Star Wars movie plot? Cyanoglugicide burnet in defense droplets in a 6 spot potassium pump. The indigenous guard hairs graurddeniltes boba fete resistant to tiger keelbacks.

I liked it more when only one person narrated the whole video

@05:29 The quality of the audio changes (different environment and/or microphone) while showing the diagram of the sodium pump. IMHO this is *BETTER* (I find the regular sound has too much treble). Please borrow Hank's Microcosmos microphone :-)

To be honest, some humans can be very toxic too

Eating is technically stealing energy

Why flies rub their fore limbs, always when it touches the ground?

Bird flying and poison type...hmmm great

I'm here to reinforce the two comments I found (there are probably more) noting that "passerine" is not the name of a particular kind of bird, but of an entire large category of birds. ("Passerine" means "perching"; the group includes all songbirds.) There is no such thing as "the" New Guinean passerine bird. There are probably hundreds of passerine species in a diverse environment like New Guinea. The papers cited state that SEVERAL New Guinea passerine birds, of two different genera, exhibit the toxin-related behavior. I don't want to be overly critical, but saying "passerine" over and over as if it were the name of a specific bird -- on a science show -- is the sort of mistake that should have been caught by whoever does your quality control.

'Passerine' isn't a species of bird - it's a whole Order - there are loads of different species, all over the world, that are described as Passerine. Your phrasing suggests it's one particular bird species.

Let me just clarify. I’m Somali and we don’t use arrows or have elephants in our country.

And Poisondartfrogs steal the poison from ants

Why is tetrodotoxin not on this list?

I loved the sultry voice snippets, it really spiced up the video

What’s going on with the weird audio?

Now I wonder, why did animals evolve acidic stomachs? Is that more energy efficient or so?

Nick Romo

Vor Monat

Possibly. Also helps break down food and kill certain bad bacteria/diseases. Probably many other reasons, I'm pretty sure sure acidic stomachs is an example of convergent evolution

The bird in this episode is actually called a Pitohui, Passerine is the term for the whole FAMILY of songbirds. Oops!

It's such a niche. Music for scientists

Nice try with the voice overs but there's too much of a difference between the mics and echo from the room with the voice overs

"Bufa"... toad? if it is then it's name alone tells you where it comes from...! also: "for most birds..." you mean chickens,ducks and turkeys... 'cause no other 'birds' gets its feathers plucked before being eaten... lolz

"Hippity hoppity, your poison's my property."

That's how the toxin stealers do

Nudibranches are pokemon, change my mind. Also, these guys remind me of the Kandra from Mistborn series. Imagine a giant, sentient nudibranch that lives on land and absorbs dead creatures to learn their shapes and recreate their bodies. Basically a sci-fantasy shape shifting ooze creature.

What it is this strange chemical? It doesn't kill us, but it also doesn't give us energy. perhaps we can use thing later.. Store the thing in the the thing.

It somehow felt like these birds had bounty posters like one piece

It is not a moth npr a butterfly, it is the third member of the family, Skippers

The thumb nail remains me of the one piece wanted posters. 😆 any one else?

Was hoping to hear about the dolphins that pass around puffer fish with others to get high and then there is the sunfish and sea turtles which gorge on jellyfish until intoxicated

Definitely Stefan doing the voiceover at 4:32 and 5:28, guess something went oops along the way or his normal mic is on the way out.

Yea! It's very rude!

"Passerine" refers to literally half of all bird species. Can you be more specific? Using it to refer to one particular species or genus of birds makes you sound ridiculous.

I feel like you kind of missed an oppurtunity to point out that aside from stealing toad toxins, the tiger keelback is also unique in having both it's own venom as a rear fanged colubrid in addition to storing toad toxins for self-defense thus making it both poisonous AND venomous.

They talked about it in another episode

The New Guinean passerines you're talking about are more specifically members of the Pitohui genus which consists of Old World orioles, as well as the Blue-capped ifrita which is in a genus of it's own. A passerine /ˈpæsəraɪn/ is any bird of the order Passeriformes (/ˈpæsərɪfɔːrmiːz/, Latin passer (“sparrow”) + formis (“-shaped”)), which includes more than half of all bird species.

"New Guinean Passerine birds"??? The birds are called Pitohuis! (Pitohui dichrous is the one in the video) Of course they're passerines, they're in the order Passeriformes, the largest and most diverse order of birds! C'mon SciShow!

@Pierre Abbat There's like 6500 species in the order passeriformes, so calling this species "passerine bird" is almost as meaningless as calling it "avian bird".
