Techwright Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 I was recently introduced to The Fat Electrician channel when someone showed me his incredible "Proportional" video and I must say, the man's a born storyteller. The "Band of Beavers" one was pretty great as well. One question did arise when watching the hippo video. Perhaps someone here is in the veterinarian business and could answer. Is chemical castration not an option? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThaOGDreamWeaver Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 (edited) I'm not usually into YouTube explainers, but I gave these a crack. I knew about Praying Mantis's mission and background from my teaching days but not, of course, all the BTS yahoo c***erf***ery by the air wing that is more the province of the USAF. (Frankly, they're probably still jealous to this day.) I am now five minutes into the hippo video and have had to stop because of literal tears of laughter. I was already fully aware of hippos being basically two velociraptors welded together and then given a Cheesecake Factory VIP card, but his descriptions are even better. The video is also a neat object lesson in why we should not screw with ecosystems. To quote Douglas Adams... When you spend much time with naturalists you will tend to hear two words in particular an awful lot: endemic and exotic. Three, if you count disaster. An endemic species of plant or animal is one that is native to an island or region and is found nowhere else at all. An exotic species is one that has been introduced from abroad. And a disaster is usually what results when this occurs. Edited July 23 by ThaOGDreamWeaver WAKE UP YA MISCREANTS AND... HEY, GET YOUR OWN DAMN SIGNATURE.

When I joked of tranq guns and helicopters, I didn't realize night would be key as the article notes, but I did realize not to tranq them in the river. Hippos go on land, so driving them to land, or in this case, waiting until they step out at night, seems the best course of action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
