I feel like I'm at a memorial service for each species. It's lovely and so sad.

As always, loved it! I definitely prefer these videos that are not simply rapid fire and go into depth about each, lets us get to know the species we are learning about. Good decision to split the videos up! Several Endlings that come to mind are Martha (Passenger Pigeon), Inca (Carolina Parakeet), and Lonesome George (Pinta Island Tortoise). Unnamed are the video recorded Kauaʻi ʻōʻō from 1987, the Po'o-uli from 2004 (albeit technically two of them). I could probably find more, but was more fun to go off the top of my head.

Zoologist here. I also have professional experience with botany as well. You have done an excellent job with the videos I've seen so far as I just found this channel today. I should point out that you should've mentioned that Hyophorbe americaulis is dioecious, so while it does produce male and and female "parts", it's only during different times of the year, meaning self pollination is (essentially but necessarily) entirely impossible. Also you may want to fix the spelling in the little chapters part of the youtube video when you look at the timebar to see the different species.

@@maumee22 Hey thanks for the comment. I generally avoid going too deep into the specific science of the species I cover. For one, I'm not a scientist so I'm far more likely to make a mistake. For two, getting too detailed sometimes deters casual watchers from sticking around. Also sadly the chapter titles are automatically generated by KZitem and I'm not sure I have any control over what they say or how the words there are spelled. Thanks for all your feedback though.

A co-worker at my job site returned from a trip to an area of Southern Saskatchewan and Alberta, Canada called "Cypress Hills" which was spared from being covered with ice during the ice age. Probably doesn't Have any endlings in it's known history though. Heard that some rare orchids as well as other flora and fauna live there. Would like if there was any videos that could cover anything regarding an area of northern Alberta called "McClelland Lake Wetland Complex". An area currently undergoing massive development by an oil sands company. Also an area that harbours many rare flora and fauna (also including orchids) Both areas are ecological gems, one of which isn't being bulldozed, other one is being bulldozed. Big money and politics likely reason for contrast in stewardship of these areas. One of these areas might be on the course for creating more endlings.

I thought the bird story was going to be about the Kauai o'o. The endling of that species was recorded calling desperately for anyone else of his species. The o'o's mating call is a song that's supposed to be performed as a duet. He sang his part, but no matter how long he waited, no one answered. He died the same year he was filmed. I assume of depression.

The only geological era named after a single species. Whether we like it or not, we have power far beyond that of any other species, and we need to stay mindful of what we do with it.
