In this video:
1. The “Hercules beetle” lives in the rainforests of Central and South America and is known for being able to lift more than 850 times its own weight, or about 8 kilograms (17.6 lbs). Pound for pound, this makes it one of the strongest animals on the planet. For reference, if a 90 kg (200 lb) male human could do the same, he would be able to lift 76,500 kg or 170,000 lbs. (QF: 721)
2. Cats are the only known animal, including humans, that prefer to be given things freely, rather than needing to do some task to get them. Don’t believe us? Google Contrafreeloading if you’re interested in learning more.) (QF: 445)
3. Wombat poop is cubic. (QF: 455)
4. Hippopotamus kill more people in Africa than any other large animal, including more than lions, crocodiles, and elephants. (QF 497)
5. Wild American bison, often incorrectly called buffalo, are one of the most dangerous animals to encounter in the United States. In Yellowstone National Park alone, nearly five times as many people are killed by bison than by bears every year. The bison can reach speeds of up to 35 miles per hour and are surprisingly nimble, making them difficult to avoid if they attack, which they do with little provocation.
6. The testes of the Right whale are the largest of any animal, each weighing around 500 kg (1,100 lb).
7. Animals such as dogs, rabbits, rodents, gorillas, etc. often eat their poop to maintain proper health. For animals like rabbits, who eat a lot of plants, their poop contains quite a bit of undigested plant matter; so eating their poop is a nice easy way to get more out of the food they have available. For other animals, like dogs, their poop can also be very vitamin rich with the bacteria in their intestines producing essential vitamins they wouldn’t get otherwise. Dogs particularly like cat poop because it is very high in protein.
8. Mouse urine glows under florescent light. Further, despite their propensity to spread disease and the like, surprisingly, mice are very clean animals. They clean themselves regularly, not unlike cats, and they organize their homes with specific areas for storing food, going to the bathroom, sleeping, etc.
9. The Honeyguide is a type of bird that will lead certain animals, most notably the Honey Badger, to beehives. The bird will then wait for the Honey Badger to break open the beehive and to have its fill. Once the Honey Badger has left, the Honeyguide will fly in and eat the leftover larvae and beeswax. Honeyguides are also known to lead humans to honey, again so that they can feed on the scraps left behind. The Boran people even use a special type of whistle to try to attract a Honeyguide when they want to search for honey.
About the Site 🌐
This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. 🎥
Origins of the Idea 🌱
The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. 🧠
Challenges Faced 🤔
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍
Creating Truly Random Links 🛠️
The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.
