In between two of the islands of Indonesia, there’s an ancient line that is both real and…not real.

Like if you miss pangea🤓
Bro looks like he's about to break my hands in some casino backrooms then goes on to to tell me about the changing ecosystems that come with tectonic plate movement. I'm here for it.
The same line most human beings also don't cross? 🙂🙂
Very interesting and weird
Ah plate tectonics… yet another history lesson at how unscientifically prejudiced can scientists be.
What about the birds? They are not comodo dragons and can fly. For hundreds of kilometers.
✨️✨️✨️🟧🟨🟫🟦🔳 🌎🌍🌏
Why don't the birds cross the line?
INDONESIA MENTIONED ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️💥💥💥💥💥🔥🔥🔥🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯😁😁😁😁😁‼️‼️‼️❓️❓️❓️🦅🦅🦅🦅🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩
HEY! GUY TALKING! Slow down. You started okay, but then sped up your speech to a point where it was difficult to follow the information anymore. Take a lesson from the best; David Attenborough and pause in between points so that your audience can spend more than a few micro seconds absorbing them. THUMBS DOWN PBS! You of all production companies should know this by now.
Seems odd to me that a British man was the first to discover this phenomenon and not the locals who had been living their for centuries 😂 we're still doing this in 2023?
and how do people continue to play animal crossing after that?
I'm Indonesian and this has been my question since I'm in grade school. I was like "Why we don't have komodo in here (borneo)?" or "Why they don't have orangutan in Papua?" Thank you for answering my childhood's question.
6:11 They have not been evolving separately for eons. They have only existed within one eon, namely the phanerozoic.
Earth is only 6000 years old do y keep saying millions
the comedy feels forced
Single biggest discovery from the video: There are rhinos in Asia.
Nice video learning some new great new things, We are always more comfortable where we originally belongs to.
Yesss… that IS so trueee… you cannot find the Elephants or Rhinos on the East Coast of Indonesia. Why ?? because of the climate environment ecosystem is different from the West. Especially the plants as the food source of these animals.
This video takes a strange assumption that the Evolution Theory is true.
Frequency
I’ve stood on the coast of Bali many times and looked out in that direction. I do remember wondering why we don’t have monkeys in Australia not far away.
Great video….though Tasmania is Australia.
Real and imaginary like money.
Because Mobs only spawn in their respective biomes
It'd interesting how those same strong currents helped humans to spread through the Islands.
"I do not trust pbs any longer . . . !"
"""👍😎👌"""
the first time in my life I see a jacked person explaining geography lmao
pity it didnt keep people apart
Schrodinger's line
“There are no borders in nature” also nature :
Wallace went to the school that I went to in hertford England. One of the houses at our school was named after him .
I could not finish the video. I couldn't stand watching you flex as hard as you could while trying to narrate.
Just a little shellfish.
thanks.
Can’t say I’ve ever heard Malaysia said like that. Is that a US thing?
There are occasion visitors from both sides. But yes, because without reproduction, the wallace and huxley reserves spilling of genetic materials between both sides.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That line should be shorter. There's no Rhinos, Elephant and Tiger in the Philippines.
Bro looks like Marc Goddard😅
I never crossed it myself either.
Never seen an elephant in Indonesia.
As someone who is not Indonesian or been to the islands or has any knowledge of this stuff.
Europeans have to realize that just because something was discovered by you doesn’t mean others didn’t already know about it or come to the same realizations! It’s like someone coming to your city & thinking that they discovered some “hidden waterfall” that you & your ancestors have known about for generations lol
