View full lesson:
Until recently, scientists thought cannibalism was a rare response to starvation or other extreme stress. Well-known cannibals like the praying mantis and black widow were considered bizarre exceptions. But now, we know they more or less represent the rule. Bill Schutt shows how cannibalism can promote the survival of a species by reducing competition, culling the weak, and bolstering the strong.

Bro, I have a bunch of ducks in my neighborhood and 2 male ducks killed the offspring of a female duck so now I know why…
imagine if eating humans for extra sustenance was the norm. COULD YOU IMAGINE A MOTHER DEVOURING HER CHILD!? I suppose its actually a crazy that we didnt already have that as the norm.
While growing up I got an aquarium for my room ans took care of it. Pieced all the techmical stuff together, Furnished and decorated it, filled it with water and of cause… fish. Guppy to be percise. 2 Male (Aoki and Akaki (meaning like blue one and red one)), and 2 female (Hanni and Nanni (two girls from a childrens book)) and I expelicitly bought the female ones pregnant so I can have even more fish for the price of them. (And I also bought one of those glas-kissing-catfish and named him Kyuba, wich means vaccuum cleaner.
So, not long after, I saw tini tiny little new fischy friends in my tank and tought "Nyaaaaaw so cute! * w * " and exactly as I was totaly draged into that adorableness, the Mother came and took a swhoosh, swallowing the very bunch I was watching in a whole. o.o
The hardcore survivalist.
When he said rodents eat dead young’s it also applies to dogs.
So is this why some people are into vore?
Oooooh so when animals cannibalise their young it’s fine but when I do it i get sent to an insane asylum!?
Agario in real life
damn spiders are kinky
God, they didn’t even talk about rabbits.
First time mothers eat their children so often,
Angry? Babies for dinner.
Stressed? Baby casserole.
Just overall bored? Baby soufflé!
Props to the male spider for being a responsible husband.
In america, adults eat kids
IN SOLVIET RUSSIA, KIDS EAT ADULTS
Chimpanzees are also Cannibals btw.
TED-Ed: most birds don't do Cannibalism
