This dude is straight up fucking strung out on Jesus. It's time for a Intervention, dude!
ОтветитьI think there's a real problem where zoologists, especially cladists, need to sort their stuff out. In popular parlance all the scaly animals, including snakes and amphisbaena are lizards; what professionals would call squamtes. Why can't the group just be called what they're called by most people?
ОтветитьI think I’m going to get addicted to this kind of videos, evolution is never boring
Staying on the topic of lizards, will you ever talk about how every keeper's worst nightma… i mean, caudal autotomy evolved?
My only contact with lizards have been lacerta agillis. And false lizards: anguis fragilis oh and snakes swimming at a local bathing spot: natrix natrix (not venomous but still scared me)
ОтветитьThe worm body plan is so basic but effective i bet if we discovered alien life they would almost certainly have their own worm analogs. Kind of how things keep evolving into crabs squamates and some amphibians keep evolving jnto worms
ОтветитьI love this channel so much 💖 the most informative and wholesome thing on the internet 👌
And congratulations on 7 years! 🎉
love the close up Gus-Gus cam!! it looks like hes on the verge of falling asleep when you pet him hes so cute
ОтветитьI love how these videos confuse me to end, but I still feel like I've learned.
ОтветитьTo me, "lizards" is either Squamates − Serpentes or it's all squamates. Similarly, monkeys = Anthropoidea − Hominoidea or just all anthropoids, and fish = Vertebrata − Tetrapoda (or just vertebrates, but calling a mouse a fish feels weird). And if I wanted there to be a term "true monkey" or "true fish" like there is for "true lizard," I guess it would be New World monkeys and teleosts (or maybe actinopyrigians). However, most taxonomists would probably rather use it for something like all jawed fishes.
Ответитьwhy are lacertidae considered true lizards and not gymnophthalmoidea?
ОтветитьWas the Wikipedia thing a joke, or can I find a source for it being demonstrated somewhere?
ОтветитьWhat is the difference between Amphisbaeneans and Caecilians which classified as amphibians but... Visually very similar to Amphisbaeneans which are... Not reptiles?
Amphisbaeneans have different mouth and skull shapes, and Caecilians do not always have scales, though they often do in a similar ringlike shape. Caecilians are typically slimy, more similar to Annelid worms.
Hello there! you can find worm lizards in South America as far as down here in Ururguay. They are fairly common in houses with a lot of green and large wildish backyards, every now and then you'll have to save one from a cat or help it find some shade before they cook up in the sun. They do look a lot like the cuban ones, pinkish with a slightly darker tone on top, about a feet long, although you can also find Amphisbaena kingii, which is kinda the same but with a funnier snout. Down here people call them "viborita ciega" (blind little viper), and nobody could ever imagine them being related to tegus (which we also have aplenty, and are called "lagarto overo", meaining spotted lizard).
ОтветитьWhat do you mean no canaries in the Canary Islands?
ОтветитьI cannot believe Tegus are not varanids despite having the exact same morphology.
Ответитьyou can tell Clint's a doctor because he can say those giant scientific latin names without sounding like he has four tongues and a mouthful of marbles.
ОтветитьObviously, we have the lizard habitus, and we have the phylogenetic clade of (true) lizards, and they aren't the same. It's like the carnivores, and the carnivorous lifestyle.
Ответитьdimetrodon is a dinosaur
ОтветитьArmadillos have bands on their tails too. But they are mammals
ОтветитьI’m still interested in what ecological niche do worm lizards serve
Ответитьone good boy.
ОтветитьLol that lizard worm thing's name means F'd up teeth. Rad, one might say 🤓
ОтветитьWorm lizards should never have had a distinction between them and other lizards. Snakes I can understand the distinction, even though they are lizards.
Ответить0.o?
ОтветитьI thought lizard was like fish or raptor
ОтветитьCalifornian snakes are about to make the biggest true lizard species go extinct.
ОтветитьWould not a northern green anaconda be the largest lizard actually? At in terms of both mass and certainly in length over komoto dragons?
ОтветитьIt is said they taste like chicken
ОтветитьMan, I haven't enjoyed a video I didn't understand in quite a while! Brilliant energy, I can tell you love your work. Whatever it is.
Ответить''Only warm-blooded lizards know to exist''
Well,exist today.Mosasaurids and perhaps derived Palaeophiids were warm-blooded....sadly were
I will say that laterata geckos and skinks are lizards because i love skinks, geckos, snakes, and lacertibaenia they get to be lizards
ОтветитьI'm sure that there's good evidence for it, but rafting across oceans just seems incredibly implausible to me. I just struggle to wrap my mind around it even with the winds in their favor. If we're talking Florida to Cuba, that makes sense. Still weird, and incredibly lucky for the worm lizard that made the voyage by accident. But for the open ocean just... how? How does the makeshift raft not sink, what do the animals eat along the voyage... how does this happen enough times for a stable population to be formed at the destination?
ОтветитьClint's Reptiles is a menagerie of confusing semantics. Next episode, Dinosaurs are actually fish.
Ответить$11? Now you can retire and give up this life of crime.
ОтветитьSharks are squamates too. 😅
ОтветитьThe real lizards are the friends you made along the way
ОтветитьGus gus is suvh precious boi!
ОтветитьI had a common Boa for 32 years nice brown, black and tan pattern. Always was fed live food. Was picked up at 19 inches ended up 7 and half feet weighing around 14 pounds. One tip never pull their body if they are around someone just gently stroke the tail they will slide off into your arms if you are positioned so they can reach you.
ОтветитьOBSESSED with that skull. I've been around hazelworms my entire life but I didn't know they had teeth like that! Interestingly, they do drop their tails.
ОтветитьI find your videos so fascinating, Clint. As a phycologist, the idea of an artificial group is just so natural to me. I love seeing it in a completely different area!
ОтветитьIf I looks like a lizard, acts like a lizard, flicks its tongue like a lizard, I'll call it a lizard. To me it Is until proven otherwise, and considering how often definitions and classificationsget revised I guess they're going to stay lizards for now. 😉😉😜
ОтветитьBRUUUUUHHHH... I had NO IDEA reptiles could FART LIKE A GROWN MAN! HOLY MOSES! 😂🤣😂🤣🦎💨
ОтветитьIn the UK we have Slowworms, small legless lizards in the Anguidae family. Very cool little guys, sadly cats prey on them.
ОтветитьSomeone answer me quickly I found a baby lizardin my mom's bed and I don't know what to feed him I also. Can't buy or find bugs
ОтветитьWash your hands Clint !
ОтветитьLizard=Lepidosauria, problem solved
ОтветитьThe Spanish word for “lizard” is lagarto/lagartija. I don’t know if it’s so much the case in Spanish speaking countries of the Americas, but in Spain the words “largarto/lagartija” normally are used exclusively for lacertas
ОтветитьWhat is that dinosaur figure in the back, the one thats closest to the chameleon stuffy
