"Yay! We've found a VERY rare species! ... Let's *kill* it!"

[KirklandBreiner]

Another fantastic video. Love seeing the New Britain goshawk featured, and I'm glad you used my suggestion from last week! Keep it up. You're great at this and every video gets better and better.

It's truly amazing that despite the fact that the vast majority of humans all have HD cameras in their pockets, we still have so many species being discovered yearly.

The fact that a new Orangutan species (Tapa Nuli Orangutan) was recently discovered on Sumatra gives me hope that other 'extinct' or undiscovered species are still holding on, somewhere out there. My head tells me species like the Haasts Eagle and Thylacine are long gone, but my heart keeps saying no, they exist!

Isn't it sad that Walter's Duiker was found in a bush meat market?
Just like the new species of pangolin over in Vietnam or China.
.
I'm glad you spoke of the Qingling Panda. I wonder why China hardly ever highlights them?

[sandsmoker]

I hate that bastard who killed the kingfisher!!!

[comfortablynumb]

I don't understand why they had to take that bird as a dead specimen. A feather or two for DNA, good measurements and photos and videos should be enough in this day and age. Taking an animal that is known to be very rare is all kinds of wrong.

[dovahkiin]

"Oh boy a super rare bird! I better kill it so it becomes even more rare!"

[phlebgrl]

When you said that an extremely rare, considered extinct bird, the Guadalcanal Moustached Kingfisher, the only one of its kind, was euthanized by an ignorant biologist, to be added to some museum collection, I cried out and became nauseated and furious! What terrible things that man has done in the name of science.

[MuertaRara]

jfc that poor Kingfisher :(

that's horrible

[thecollectorsinged]

Really think the Bornean Rainbow Toad the most interesting, I have seen the images of the leucitic penguin before so it no longer strikes me, maybe that albino panda but the beauty on that toad is really wild, the upclose shots looks like it's a fantasy animal but it is not.
Still hate the guy that killed the kingfisher

[edwardfletcher]

PNG has amazing bird and animal species.

There's also a giant rat there over 80cm long. A scientific team discovered it in a remote jungle crater in 2009.

People also speculate that there might still be Thylacine living there in very remote areas.

Really love this video, thank you 👍

In addition to this, Tyrannomyrmex legatus, an ant species endemic to Sri Lanka was also photographed and filmed recently before which it was only known through a few specimens accidentally collected with leaf litter. The video of them being fed upon discovery could be found on YouTube if anyone's interested.

[peterashby-saracen]

The killing of the male Guadalcanal kingfisher was absulutely barbaric and unacceptable. We owe so much to science and science has helped rescue many species from near extinction, but what this man did was sheer vanity at the expense of a male individual which could have been a critical source of genetic input for the entire species. No doubt he tried to justify the killing as "necessary to further knowledge" but this primitive attitude should have itself gone extinct a very long time ago.

[samralston]

The man who killed the Kingfisher should serve time in jail! What a total jerk

[obambagaming]

Killing a rare animal just so it can be in a museum collection is so incredibly stupid.
Why arent photographs together with blood/tissue samples as well as feathers enough?

[EatingTuna]

this is an amazing video! i just discovered your channel, so unsure if you have actually done this already but, perhaps if you do another video like this you could include the Titanomis sisyrota/frosted phoenix? It has barely any research and its family is listed as "Incertae sedis" due to that. only one image of one living has been made, and it was made in march 2024! By a swedish tourist in new zealand.

[daniilodemchuk]

I like to see if you can do animals that we dont see 100 years ago a finely find (fife animals pls doit😢)

[Skyypixelgamer]

8:21 it really seems we really haven’t learned from the great auk’s extinction. Collection doesn’t always require killing the animal people.

Wake up y’all, All About Nature just posted new content!

Even though the political climate is troubling, at best, your videos give me hope for the planet.
Thank you SO MUCH for the work that you do!!! ❤ ❤ ❤
