Hello everyone, my name is Ivaan and I'm Dad. Welcome to my channel Facts with Ivaan. I'm in year one and every day I come across millions of new facts, some interesting and some boring. On this channel I show you some amazing facts.

Let's move to the fact of the day. Let's continue our series on prehistoric animals just to recap we are discussing evolution of animals from the quaternary period when the ice age took place in our last episode we talked about Thylacolio, a lion which was a mass appeal. If you have not heard it already, then do listen to the last episode.

Today we are going to talk about Smilodon. I'm sure most of you have seen a Smilodon, not in real but in a movie. The saber-toothed tiger in the movie Ice Age is a Smilodon. These cats were the main hunters of big animals during the Quaternary period. A sabre is a curved sword and that is exactly what Smilodon's long front teeth were like. They could easily slash through thick skin and muscle.

So Smilodon used to live in North America and were almost 1.5 metres long. These tigers were no fast runners. Instead, they trapped their prey and wounded it. Their primary food were big mammals like mammoths. Smilodon became extinct around 10,000 years ago. Their extinction may have been linked to the decline and extinction of the other large herbivores on which it preyed. Climate change and competition from other predators may also have added to the disappearance of Smilodon.

This is all I wanted to talk about Smilodon. Let's discuss another prehistoric animal in the next episode.

Welcome to "Facts with Ivaan," where young Ivaan and her dad share amazing facts every day! In this episode, Ivaan dives into the Quaternary Period, exploring the fascinating evolution of animals during the Ice Age.

Discover the incredible story of the pouch lion, a marsupial carnivore from Australia that lived around 40,000 years ago. Learn how these unique creatures, who carried their young in pouches like kangaroos, evolved from herbivorous ancestors shared with koalas and wombats.

Let’s debunk some myths!!

Transcript: Hello everyone, my name is Ivaan and I'm Dad. Welcome to my channel, Facts with Ivaan. I'm in year one and every day I come across millions of new facts. Some interesting and some boring. On this channel I show you some amazing facts.

Let's move to the fact of the day. Today we'll talk about some common myths. First, let's talk about sharks. It's commonly believed that sharks love to attack humans. That's not true. They don't even like the taste of humans. They only attack if they feel attacked by humans. Did you know there was something called shark fin soup? People tag sharks to get their fins to make soup. The shark's only choice is to tag the human, otherwise it will get in danger to being turned into soup.

Next, how many of you have heard that camels store water in their hump? Almost all of us. That is not true. A camel's hump is made of just fat. They use this to survive long times in the desert without food and water.

After that, let's talk about bats. A common myth is that bats are blind. Bats are not blind. While it's true that most bat species use sounds to navigate, all bats have eyes and can see.

Finally, dinosaurs. We all have heard or read that dinosaurs went extinct millions of years ago. Did you know that we still have dinosaurs around us? That is true. Just look at the tree around you. Birds are the ancestors of small feathers, the theropods from the Jurassic period, and are still with us.

These are my favorite myths which I thought I would share with you. Maybe someday we can talk about more myths. Thank you everyone for listening. I'll see you all soon with some more facts.

Hello everyone, my name is Ivaan and I'm Dad. Welcome to my channel Facts with Ivaan. I'm in year one and every day I come across millions of new facts. Some interesting and some boring. On this channel, I show you some amazing facts.

Let's move to the fact of the day. Have you ever imagined how animals talk to each other? Today, let's understand how fish talk. The most common ways fish communicate are through sound, colour, motion, and smell. These are used to help pass through, call, alert, and even while fighting.

Three types of sound are generally used by fish to talk. Most of these sounds are inaudible to humans. Not all fish can produce sound, so they use body language or movement instead. Colour is the most developed form used by fish to communicate. Many fish can change the shade of their skin, some can glow, and even change their colours to talk. For example, bright colours are used by fish who aren't excellent swimmers to tell other fish to stay away.

Do you want to hear a silly fun fact? Fish also use their wee-wee to talk. A recent study found that some fish use their wee-wee to send signals and get their sensed messages across. That is silly.

That is all I have for today. Thank you everyone for listening. I'll see you all soon with some more facts.

Let's move to the fact of the day. Today let's talk about a unique animal. I was astonished when I discovered facts about them. I'm talking about Axolotl. These are colourful amphibians initially found in Mexico. What makes them unique is that they always remain babies. They don't go through the process of metamorphosis. These impressive creatures can stay young throughout their lives.

They also have another power. They can regenerate their limbs and lungs. Let me tell you a fun fact, newly hatched axolots, hungry for their first meal, sometimes snack on their siblings limbs. After all, their limbs can grow back. That's hilarious! The cute monsters with sweet little smiles however are critically endangered. I'm hopeful that everyone can do their best to save this amazing species. I hope to see them in real life one day.

That is all I have for today. Thank you everyone for listening. I'll see you all soon with some more facts.
