What in the World is a Fishing Genet?

[Emmassu]

wasn't 1:23 - 1:26 the cutest EVER?!

[alecdj]

i love how every animal has its own individual ways and strategies to eat, to move, to adaptate, to breed and stuff. plus look at that paw while daping loool

[0369A9630]

Moreso . . the looks and habits appear similar to the common raccoon here in North America. It's interesting how each continents' creatures vary from the other.

[gggggppppp]

they fuck this vid with stupid music

[cool2thetouch]

so cuteee!!!

[ermatriforme]

Genets and civets belong to the group of viverrids, they are different from cats and dogs. They are more similar to mustelids, an other group of carnivore.

[Sean0fenton]

@ermatriforme yes, but mustelids are caniformia, the suborder of carnivors that contains dogs and bear, while the viverrids belong to the Feliformia suborder, which also contains the cats, mongoose and hyenas. So although not closely related to wither cats or dogs, viverrids are more related to cats, than to dogs and mustelids, similarly with hyenas.

[thehantavirus]

Genets are cat like creatures that are related to civets.

[TURB0N1NJA]

yes there actually not part of the cat or dog family but in that catorgory if that makes sense alone with civets its like a third group seperat to cat or dog

[neffin]

[shatalg]

evolution can not be proven, i mean if u believe it, it can, but if u dont believe it, then no ones going to change your mind because of proves, cuz they are all questionable...

lol "google it and see the truth"...dumbest fucking thing ever...so if there are sites about ufo, yetis ang goblins, PROVING that they live here on earth, u gonna believe it? amateurs..

[SSShino]

wtf everyone shut up :| and watch the fishing genet pwn that fish :)

[Satan119]

evoloiton at its best

[Prophetes]

What does that have to do with evolution? Hahahaha

[gogoutube]

what does it NOT have to do with evolution?

[Prophetes]

No, you tell me how catching a fish without getting wet is evolution.

[gogoutube]

Oh, you're the type of person that doesn't believe in evolution, right? But regardless of whether or not you believe in it, Satan119 probably meant that the Fishing Genet is yet another example of the wondrous variety and complexity that can arise from evolutionary processes.

[Prophetes]

So what if i don't believe. Prove it evolved to catch fish that way.

[yebasha420]

Prove that it didn't

[Prophetes]

Get out of here. The guy said evolution did it, and i want you guys to prove it since you believe this fairy tale.

[gogoutube]

It's alright if you don't believe in evolution. Quite frankly, I don't believe neither evolution nor the Bible. I believe in the Matrix. LoL!

[theavelfairy]

lol XD

[Satan119]

that fact that the animal evolved to used his whiskers to sense fish so he doesnt have to go into the water

[Prophetes]

Can you prove the genet didn't use his whiskers in the past to catch fish and he evolved to use them?

[Satan119]

the animal evolved from some other animal to better suit his needs in this enviroment. (catching food with his whiskers)

[Prophetes]

"the animal evolved from some other animal to better suit his needs in this enviroment. (catching food with his whiskers)"

That has the same explanation power as "God did it." God created the Genet to use his whiskers to help hunt for fish. Tell me I'm wrong.

[Ryjuo]

your wrong ; )

[Satan119]

you are wrong.

there is a profuse amount of evidence to support my synopsis.

all you have for your side is a ancient text that has no relevance to today or science.

[baronvonvoe]

Actually you're very wrong when you say that the Bible has no relevance to today or science. For example the laws that were laid down for the Jewish people concerning hygene were thousands of years ahead of their time. Some of those principals have just been "discovered" by modern medicine within the past 50 years. There is a lot more fact and science in the Bible than you know.

[Satan119]

if i wanted to i could research the evilotionary history of the animal to tell you how it evolved to use its wiskers that way

[Prophetes]

Nah that's okay you're already starting out with too many assumptions.

[Satan119]

evoluiton has been proeven true plenty of times. Just google it and you will see the truth

[baronvonvoe]

Actually the mathematical probability that evolution took place is 100 to the 10th to the 100th to the 1000th power a number that no computer on Earth can calculate. Even Darwin stated he did not believe in evolution and that is was only a theory. On top of that Darwin's assistant who was the biggest proponent of evolution stated that evolution was impossible and could not happen.

[Satan119]

please site your sources

[baronvonvoe]

I will but I'll have to get the book back from my friend.

[Satan119]

if its creditable info you will be able to find many websites saying it

[GeoffLogan887]

yes please site your sources, as I have ones that tell a different story.

[Dracorex13]

You're confusing the scientific definition of theory with the common meaning of the term.

In science the term theory means a logical explaination of a particular phenomenon that is suggested by evidence, like Newton's gravitational theory, or Dalton's atomic theory.

[GeoffLogan887]

+ if you think about it, like how does a virus overcome a medication, it transforms, evolves, in order for the medication to stop working

[friendly406]

I think it's more psychology than evolution...but that's my oppinion...

[beliserius]

Evolution also effects psychology as psychology depends mainly on the brain structure

[friendly406]

Oh I know that, but I meant it as in "It's not plain evolution" kind of idea...

[yea12inches]

You're wrong.

[beliserius]

You can't just say its wrong without any things to back it up "yea12inches"

Well, the only way to test whether or not it is a psychological thing or evolutionary thing is to adopt one of them, let no parents teach it and see what it does.

But for most animals, including humans. Natural instincts often drives what we do.

[friendly406]

I believe it's more of a psychological thing, than an evolutionary thing.

[FuzzersFilms]

aw its so cute!

[vephyrus]

Wish I have whiskers =(

[azh01e]

good work

[Quagmire42]

thats something you don't see every day

[HTL033]

this is an animal you don't hear about often... i dont believe i knew about this fishing genet before

[thearmin]

oh oh...

[mrcomedymrblogger]

Paws In The Water lol

[calerenteuber]

haha looked so cool and it pawed the water

[Nooblet606]

hahaha

wtf..pretty cool

[Danko1016]

haha this thing is amazing, looks kind of like a racoon, is it in the same family?

[Dracorex13]

No. Genets belong to the civet family, Viverridae, which are related to the mongoose, hyena, and cat families.

[Methadone4Life]

Awesome..almost catlike.
