1:08 "a fossil bed in France" Makes sense, like the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre, there are lots of Paris-sites in France.

Ever since the dawn of Scishow, SR Foxley has been the unseen hand that guides this channel. SR Foxley is believed to be around 10, 000 years old.

I love SciShow so much. You're one of the reasons I love science and became a student register nurse.

I will never look at mole rate poo the same T_T

Since the xenomorph is conceptually based on parasitic wasps, isn't a bit TOO ironic to name a species of parasitic wasp after it?

Lol. I was tired, just got off work, and read the title of this video from this notification pull down on my phone. I read "plastic wrap" found inside 30 million year old fly

I'm so glad I learned moles rats eat their queen's poop. Now I can sleep easily.

Bet prehistoric wasps are about a size of a pickup truck

Sounds like the plot to a straight to DVD horror movie.

Once again, thank SR!  You're my favourite President of Space.

"Broodal Assassins" Good pun, 10/10, would groan again.

Question: How can there be genetic variety in a eusocial colony?

[set]

Ah good to know that even since their very beginning that wasps have always been one big NOPE!

[jgallantyt]

Do these findings only apply to naked mole rats? Do they still exhibit this behavior if you put pants on them?

[eIektrinis]

SciShow, you should really work on adding graphical material to your shows, as it is too dry now. Other sources did get permission somehow.

Those Mole-rats were like, "Mmmm tastes like chicken!"

[RangerRuby]

WOAH! That is so crazy! I can't beleive this! Science is so cool and things like this ( though gross) are awesome! Thanks for the video!

[nftmonkey]

Showing some pictures of the wasp's fossils would be nice :)

[xcscientist]

About the naked mole rat poop thing: Male California Mice will provide care for mouse pups when in the presence of a female’s poop! Amazing how hormones in poop change rodent behavior.

Those Parasitic creatures can be a real problem
