    So, if a human got stuck in a whale in a hypothetical scenario: would the whale be able to vomit out the human by itself or could the human simply swim out of its mouth (I imagine it would be quite annoying for the whale to have a human inside its mouth)?

    6mins 29s like a weird look like not a fossil. Most fossil look is the spiral snail that's circle width as 1 shell, I think it's special. If it's just like that kind of size, if ostrich, giraffe, hippo kind of zoo will be nice anyway, matching "Dinosaur" as the reason. Where is it anyway? Is it near, if think of the manure issit thrown inside sea anyway like if have toilet? Will they be bored, giraffe will eat fruits like planting alot, hippo is dangerous anyway maybe making exploration at border(bridge to enter isle) and cage their feel of sea and having pond too. Just ideas to match the name, just to feel fair(of such name).

      Then a net size of Giant Tuna too? If Rhino issit safe? They maybe will feel bored if keep walking same place(have to bridge too and cage path)? It matches right the fun? If swordfish fish in a giant aquarium? But what can make no sharks then? It is disturbing to heart.

    The reason why those spiders have a bad wrap is because they're dangerous and aggressive, unlike wolf spiders or the huntsman. The spiders I mentioned are big but docile and kill pests but rarely bite humans. Those little cun+s in the video will chase you down if you're not careful. But they're are important for the ecosystems and are needed for the medical field, but it's crazy to want it under your bed

    Interesting when you talk about the neanderthal mother with the denisovan father. In Australia a lot of the Aboriginal women went and got white husband's because of the extreme violence from they're own . I'm wondering if the Neanderthals were more violent so the women started finding partners that weren't so aggressive creating the mixed blooded people?

    I think the most plausible and likely theory I ever read about hyena pseudo-penises, I think it came from the Hyena Project, is that it was used originally as a means to protect female cubs from being killed by older females. Since competition is most intense amongst females they have a high drive to eliminate female competition which is best done at a young age when they are most vulnerable so to protect the cubs while at their most vulnerable they developed to look like males. This is noted by the fact that until a few months of age when they are much bigger it is impossible to tell the difference between genders and the cubs would not yet have their own smell yet instead smelling like mom so they could easily fly under the radar of competitive females who have little reason to go after the males as they usually pose little threat to the rank of her or her kin and could even be useful for her something a female cannot really be for her. She's a competitor and therefore a threat that is often best eliminated especially when she is not related. By the time physical signs of a difference in gender appears cubs are large enough and skilled enough to better dodge and survive threats from others. After this phase the pseudo-penis is then re-purposed for communication means and even to let lesser females more easily slink around close to clan borders because rival clans could mistake her as a male from a distance so not react as fast as they would a female giving her time to retreat to safety if spotted.
