well the tentacle on the far left looks like it could’ve got pulled or attacked so the squid pulled back and tried to swim away. you can see how far off that tentacle looks from the others and how it pulls up before the squid retracts it. i don’t about the extension of the tentacle tho. i’m also just a random guy so what do i know.
17:36 "The condition where the X and Y axes lose orthogonality is referred to as racking, and it can result in binding as the system moves in the X direction as well as potentially damaging forces on both the X and Y axes." -Linear Motion Tips
I like moon jellies, but when you touch them they're like... Firm? (Personal experience) why is that if they're mostly water and goo? What's making them hard?
So some of the lures don't look quite like something you'd recognize. Has me thinking, how many critters with tactics like this over the course of existence have kept lures resembling animals that have gone extinct? A ghost from the past. Right up there with American antelope being fast Af even though American cheetahs are extinct, or the comrades of the ginkgo tree being long, long gone because the tree is so ancient. Creatures having an instinctual urge to chase the lure that resembles a food not even their great grandparents have seen.
The lack of fossils maybe untrue. I think Graptolites are the missing link fossils. Over all lay out of individuals in the colony is similar, evolutionary hiper-specialization of individuals roles makes the Siphonopheres.
Frustule sounds like a pustule of frustration, which is - what I feel I can confidently say - many of us have been living in for quite some time. If I could wrap myself in something, a ball of spikey glass sounds pretts good, so, why not stick with this classic?
If one actually wants to hear some properly creepy underwater sounds -- audible to human ears -- Weddell Sea seals are your ticket: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jmZ8uLwyxIo.html . Eerie, creepy almost alien, just strange, coming from such graceful swimmers... Edit: Some more -- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bqk4nOcbxnY.html
As someone whose body is just a friggin mess...sending you strength. I'm fueled by spite for this terrible shell and all of the problems it has brought me. Each day is a victory against a body and mind that are near constantly trying to self destruct. So I sending you love and strength for the days that feel like just too much. Keep fighting friend. Just keep swimming. ❤
Dont feel ashamed, even though you dont know that much research about the ocean or how to spell some of the words, u taught me alot and ur channel is very cool! :3
Someone else might have commented this but I believed the singular form retia mirabilia is rete mirabile. I believe it’s not uncommon in the animal kingdom including fish and other mammals
Kinda of a cool comparison here. Steve Mould recently released a video showing the LaMSA mechanics of a grasshopper jumping over on his channel! (Link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xUUW6SYl_ak.htmlsi=XMS8iKIpPJujt3I7) Gave me a laugh as I had watched that video not to long before watching this one. I had a moment as soon as you mentioned it lol
8:57 I'm not fluent in German, but I think "das boot" actually means "that boat" or "the boat". There's a movie about the crew of a Kriegsmarine U-Boat called Das Boot, though I never watched it; I only know about it from the game U-Boat. One can instead imagine the dinoflagellates being expelled out of the coral on boats of excess oxygen bubbles :3
I just found your channel, and when I saw this video, for a moment I was unsure whether this was the place for me - would it be a no because of transphobia, or would it be a no because you value the intersex community as well? I skipped ahead to the 'you're a science channel' chapter, and am now going to watch the rest of the video after I'm done tearing up. Thank you <3
Each of us is pretty weird - an endosymbiosis of one bacteria swallowing another to produce the eukaryotic cell, a gigantic colony of developmentally specialized clones of which is stuck together within a mobile mound of mostly extracellular matrix, which is actually a holobiont of different organisms (human including microchimerism, E. coli, yeast), ultimately is the decaying husk serially abandoned by the immortal germline.
