Biomes are collections of living organisms, all of which have evolved to exist in a specific climate. In the broadest sense, there are five main types of biome: Tundra, Forest, Grassland, Desert & Aquatic. What is now debated, is how to further characterise these biomes. In the late 1940s the botanist, Leslie Holdridge developed a matrix that included temperature and precipitation and lead to the further specification of each of these main categories. In this video, we'll discuss 11 types of biome and the animals found therein.

    The devs really took their time with the game the amounts of detail is astonishing
  • @hojmatros5102
    I think the "aquatic biome" was cheated. In the sea alone there should at least be split into coral reefs, open ocean, deep ocean and shallows as base biomes. Then there's big rivers, freshwater lakes and saltwater lakes.
  • @teemocomehome
    I discovered this Channel today and I can't stop binge watching every video here, the quality of the content is incredible, and the videos are well made. I look forward to how this channel will fare in the the next months, if it continues to dish out content like this, reaching a million subscribers would be easy peasy. Thank you for the good videos.

    “Tundra’s infamous carnivores” shows cute fluffy arctic fox squinting
  • @brent119
    Great video but it is a huge mistake to call jellyfish cepholopods, jellyfish are way more related to corals and anemones than to mollusks like squid and snails
  • @webbess1
    I look forward to seeing this channel grow! Keep this up, and you'll go far with this.
  • @zonk45
    If you continue with uploading videos with this type of quality, you will get many subscribers in the future. Keep up the good work!
  • Great video and hereby subscribed! It is helping my covid-isolation... 4 comments 1. Koalas are not exclusively to the west coast of Australia - they are also in the east 2. Isn't steppes pronounced "steps" 3. Can you do whales or sharks/skates/rays next? 4. Another idea for a video could be to look at unique islands like Borneo, Madagascar, Australia...
  • This topic is an extremely difficult one to do while still being concise. You did a wonderful job at providing the basic idea of what makes each biome unique while making it clear further grouping exists within each one. Well done!
  • @criscarrero7179
    Dude these are some great videos, im binging all of them, keep up the amazing content 👍🏼

  • @Tuppyandizzy
    29:15 .... jelly fishes are a part of cnidaria. Please don't confuse it with cephalopods . Other than this mistake fantastic video .
