Great video post 2669.
“And just look at these aborted feces… Oops I mean fetuses!” 4:00
i dont believe in intelligent design, (just to play devil’s advocate here)but i don’t put it out of possibility, chance seems more beautiful and possible to me… i’d rather however hear an intelligent design theory rather than a religious one anytime…
@lifemetall Yes Rabbits eat their own feces.
Rabbits actually pass digestive bacteria to their off-spring by having them eat the parent’s fecal matter. It’s actually a survival trait. … and rabbits aren’t alone in this (what we’d consider disgusting) behavior. Other herbivores do it too. Digesting vegetation is not easy, but re-digesting adds efficiency.
Can you site your source? As far as I know, animals who don’t exercise will be as weak as we are. Animals might have more muscle mass than humans (just look at gorillas), but even a gorilla who don’t use their body will be weak. Unless you give me a paper with this research, I can’t really believe it. All animals are weak unless tehy work out to gain muscle. That we hav less muscle than other animals becomes unrelated to having to work out.
7:10 is that true???????
Excellent video! 5 stars!
maybe the designer had a huge hangover at the time lolol
The music at the end might be from the soundtrack from 2006 movie “The Fountain” by Clint Mansell & Kronos Quartet. If it’s not it then at least its similar, so if you like this one you should like that soundtrack too.
most animals are naturally muscular, HUMAN BEINGS HAVE TO WORK OUT TO GAIN MUSCLE. we’re naturally weak in comparison to other animals. if we had relatively as much muscle as a bird has, we’re be a lot stronger than we naturally are.
Thanks for making this! This video so needs to be seen by more people!
great. what piece of music was at the end, btw?
Thanks for this entertaining and interesting video.
Brilliant video guys. Much better without the heavy metal!
nice. much better without the music
Haha, I’m not going to get sick of the “entertainment complex in a sewage system” line for months to come.
