1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,480
So we got feel good feel bad you would think that I would know what my categories are by now

2
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,920
But I have to scroll to see the next category feeling uncertain

3
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:16,740
Yeah, choose between feeling good or bad feelings now restocked feeling like science. Let's do feeling uncertain

4
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:23,240
Feeling uncertain good choice. Good choice. Okay. Yellow means we did it that would make a lot of sense

5
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:29,360
Yes, let's not read what we've already done before that would certainly make us feel uncertain about things

6
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:36,680
Okay, feeling uncertain today bison are being introduced to the Russian Arctic to replace the extinct woolly mammoth

7
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:44,920
Why this is an article from live science comm by Sasha pair and that is August 9 2023

8
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:52,080
Scientists have introduced bison to the Russian Arctic to take on the role of extinct mammoths to help restore ancient

9
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:56,160
Ecosystems. Okay, let's see where they're going with this 12 planes

10
00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:03,200
Bisons in brackets that says bison bison bison and I wonder if that's their scientific name

11
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:11,600
It very well could be they have arrived at Ingelor Nature Park a protected area covering more than 2.2 million

12
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,640
Acres in the northern Yamal Nenets

13
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,200
Autonomous area animals traveled

14
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:24,400
5,000 miles 8,000 kilometers for us Canadians to understand that number from a nursery in Denmark and

15
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,600
And disembarked from their long journey three weeks ago

16
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:33,120
So that would be probably like two months and three weeks ago in regular time

17
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:42,240
According to a statement before they can discover their new home. However, the bison also known as buffalo must first complete a one month quarantine

18
00:01:42,320 --> 00:01:44,320
I'm really liking this article

19
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:50,480
Buffalo can easily adapt to the Arctic because historically it's their natural habitat the emal nennets

20
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:55,520
Autonomous area department of natural resources and the environment said in a separate statement

21
00:01:55,600 --> 00:02:00,320
They can take on the role of mammoths which became extinct 11,000 years ago

22
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:06,720
Step bison and woolly mammoths roamed that Russian Arctic during the late Pleidazine epoch likes to see

23
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:12,800
Yep. Yep. That's it place to see epoch 2.6 to 11,000 years ago

24
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:20,240
Oh a small population of disasterously damaged mammoths survived on an island off Alaska until about

25
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:21,760
4,000 years ago

26
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,720
Most of these herbivores died out at the end of the ice age

27
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:29,840
But the climate became warmer and the grassy plains gave way to shrubs and trees place to see

28
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,640
ecosystem was treeless and had quite thick soils Mary Edwards and

29
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:41,440
Emerita professor of physical geography at the University of Southampton in the UK called live science

30
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:48,080
What you can see in geological sections of these kinds of landscape is that over time they're storing soil carbon

31
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:54,480
It's frozen by the permafrost and basically a big carbon stack animals that lumbered across these frigid plains

32
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,400
Contributed to shaping the landscape by grazing and recycling nutrients

33
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:04,480
It's a nice cycle of animal dung fertilizing the ground and allowing the plants to grow outward sets

34
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,840
The thought is that animals maintain the ecosystem

35
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:13,040
Now in a bid to restore the place to see landscape and its ability to soak up carbon

36
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:19,280
Scientists are introducing large herbivores such as plains vizens to different parts of the arctic or our

37
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:27,200
Rewilding efforts we are bringing to the arctic animals which either lived here during the ice age or those who could live here in the modern climate

38
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:32,720
He told live science by email. So it does go on from there. I think we get the idea

39
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:38,320
They're trying to do the ecosystem good by introducing not mammoths because we're out of those

40
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:44,080
We're only interested in meatballing them by this point meatballing and also gummy bearing their bones

41
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:51,600
Yep, that's what they're good for any animal, right? So, yeah, we should actually be able to find an update

42
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:57,440
But that's not what this opener's about. This is about this article. So I wonder how that's going for them. Yeah

43
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:04,880
I hope they're doing well. I do like that. They didn't put all their eggs in and they is a very general term

44
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,920
I don't actually know who they stands for in this situation

45
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:16,000
But they didn't put all their eggs in the one basket of de-extinking woolly mammoths to be reintroduced to the russian plains

46
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,280
No, we would de-extinct it for meatballs. Yeah

47
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:25,760
And I am curious if this is an area where they're also planning on reintroducing the oryx

48
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,560
Because if you go back and listen to our de-extinction episode

49
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:33,760
We talk about a lot of different plans for de-extincting species that used to inhabit parts including europe

50
00:04:33,840 --> 00:04:38,720
Which I I'm always torn on like especially when you're talking about Siberia if it's the europe or asia

51
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:43,760
But I don't know if that was the original stomping grounds of the oryx. Probably didn't come up in that article

52
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:49,840
Okay, let me just search it. Did he spell oryx again? A? Oh god. I think it's a u r

53
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:51,440
Oh wait oryx

54
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:58,480
European bison or hybrids between stepbison. Oh, this is a comment. It's not in the actual article oryx cow

55
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,880
I think it's a u r

56
00:05:01,280 --> 00:05:02,960
a u r o c h s

57
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:07,600
No, it doesn't come up in the article a commenter says that they're closely related to

58
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:12,320
An orga, but that's it. It doesn't come up. Okay, and I would just be curious

59
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:18,640
Are they trying to breed this bison to be more specific to what they think the one that existed there before

60
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:23,440
Existed like or if they're just reintroducing bison that exists elsewhere in the world. It doesn't sound like it

61
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:29,440
I think it's just introducing bison to kind of yeah add to the environment with their poop

62
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:35,040
Which in any event probably helps everything so we should be happy with this. Yeah, or no

63
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,040
I'm feeling happy. I'm feeling uncertain still

64
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:43,680
Okay, I didn't file it wrong. That's for sure. Okay

65
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,520
Okay, that's it. Don't ask questions

66
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:52,560
And you heard it here first listeners. You are to feel uncertain about this less chelsea's

67
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,440
organizational system be brought into question

68
00:05:55,440 --> 00:06:17,440
Yes, never question that never question it. We'll see you friday good to talk to you
