    I think the fact that caves can also flood during heavy rainfall may also be a reason that salamanders thrive in cave environments. A few of the fully cave-dwelling salamanders that were shown, like the olm and the cascade caverns salamander, exhibit neoteny. They keep the gills they had as juveniles, which can come in handy in an environment that may flood with little to no warning. A salamander without gills would find it difficult to hunt or breathe if their home cavern was totally filled with water, and need to wait until floodwaters recede.

    I can imagine anyone feeling a sense of nostalgia after living through massive geopolitical shifts, regardless of modern sentiments surrounding those shifts. That said, given that it was produced by a self-described toy company, I get a feeling it wasn't marketed to adults except as a way to make their children appear smart from a distance. It probably bears some historical significance in marking a period when people could afford to buy globes simply to have in the background.

    As a hobby I read/watch the goingings on of Oceans, i can tell you that the heating of the seas IS the most direct enemy for life. Heat from fossil fuel burning makes the atmosphere take up more moisture fr said seas, that heat & moisture is weather, the weather is now uperchargd in every form, be it rain or lightning, wind or storms it is all gtting bigger more powerful. We will all starve long before our colective feet get wet. The very dry opinioned UK statistical association released a report looking at the 30 year future. It discribes how societies slowly become disfunctional. The failing of industries that cause mass banking ystem fails followed by governments not paying out pentions etc, 30 years thats it. Time to pull your collective heads out of the sand me thinks.

    The crazy thing is that hatzegopteryx could probably still fly; pterosaur bones are super light, and unlike birds, they took off with their front limbs, so they didn't have to waste mass lugging around a seperate set of muscles for taking off on top of those used for flight. One of the major theories for how they were able to get so big is that they could fly between islands, meaning they effectively had much larger hunting grounds than their terrestrial counterparts.

    I was never interested in dinosaurs as a kid either. Mostly because most of the stuff about them targeted towards kids presented them less as actual animals, with behavior patterns and lives similar to animals we see today, and more as monsters that were mostly just impressive for their size and/or horns and/or claws, and that's just never something I found very interesting.

    You should do a series on rivalries between different animals, some broad ideas would be like “current evolutionary arms races” or “the oldest rivalries in nature”. It doesn’t just have to be animals outcompeting, it could be plants and animals, or plants and plants or even fungi vs whatever. I think you do such a good job with nature related anything, it is also extremely broad and I think it fits your channel extremely well. (I also lack the drive and know how on making videos so I will never do so)
