@velveteenrabbit5940 Mazel tov. It's Jewish saying. It's being used here to reference a certain Jewish operation. I think you can figure out the rest.
I adopted my axolotl when he was little from a fish store. They gave him to me because his legs, one arm and his tail was missing. He was paralyzed from one side too (I noticed that he moved just the right side gills but not the left side gills). I adopted him in 2021 and in took him like 3 or 4 months to take full recovery. Nowadays he's around 23 cm more or less and I'm a proud Dad hahaha
Same! I got my axolotl without a leg, because she was in a little tank with other axolotls and they kept on fighting and literally ripping each other apart, and a few months later her leg came back!
It's that typical childhood moment where you try to cut your own hair so your parents take you asap to a hair salon to make it all even again, whatever you like it or not
axolotls will often do this to each other, they will eat each other's gills and legs off. Its why if you keep them in a group or pair you should be prepare for the possibility. So long as it doesnt happen too much though its fine, it doesnt really cause any problems but I still prefer to avoid it as much as possible. If your care isnt on point it can cause infections.
@@sera5826 "mazel tov" is a jewish saying that i think directly translates into "good fortune." its used to congratulate others during celebratory occasions, with one such example of an occasion being the circumcision of boys. so i think the joke is that emily thought her father was cutting off part of her brother's d//k 😭 although this actually raises some interesting question for me. if an axolotl is able to regrow its legs, would it also be able to regrow a portion of its reproductive structures?
The photo where they're staring stoicly out into the world killed me, I remember everyone getting school photos in that pose despite how ridiculous it looked. A classroom full of kids with acne and ninja turtles t-shirts posing like Alexander the great taking in the conquered world.
i'd like to emphasize, if you ever meet an axolotl, DO NOT randomly cut their limbs. although the loss is not permanent, it is still incredibly painful
Though, unlikely to find them in the wild, as they're very rare, and found in one country (Mexico) and are an endangered species in the wild. (Though domesticated ones are quite common, and have a high population now thanks to humans taking care of them.)
@@rwepnca7424 tiger salamanders aren't axolotls. They're closely related species and can hybridize, but axolotls can't naturally metamorphose while tiger salamanders (and sometimes axolotl-tiger salamander hybrids) can metamorphose as necessary.
Especially as babies when they're in the cannibal stage (only have the front legs grown in, not the back yet). I always house then individually for that reason when they get to that point
@@IW3527 Yeah. When they're small they tend to nip at each other. Sometimes they take off fingers, gills, and legs. They do this because they require a lot of food and protein in their early stages. Limbs grow back, so we're alright!
I like how the dad’s gills are smaller than everyone else’s. It implies one of two things. Either it’s to give the impression he is balding, or he recently had cut his one gills off and they are growing back.
Fun fact: In real life an axolotl's gill length is depended on how oxygenated the water they live in is (less oxygen -> larger gills). This information has nothing to do with this video whatsoever
This could've been so much darker with the fact that they can regrow so much. So happy to see a short about axolotls, I absolutely ADORE the li'l guys!! Hope to see more of them in future shorts!
Fun fact: due to the regeneration process thanks to the brain, axolotls are immune to cancer. Doctors are trying to discover ways to use this for humans to find a cure to cancer.
Resistance to cancer, and its less a resistance, more that they actually have very short lives due to the cost of the regeneration. Also due to the the regenerative ability, they are prime targets for parasitic fungi, and viral infections.
@@theprophetofhate7188 yeah that’s why a lot of axolotls are preferred to be in captivity. I have an axolotl myself, and have to clean it every month and feed it every day ext
@@Gl00pst3r Well, my point is that they are not actually immune or even resistant to cancer, their lifespan is so short that their dna does not have time to decay/corrupt naturally, and they are so fragile that unnatural sources of genetic corruption are either fatal, or fully destroy the affect tissue. Their regenerative ability has no impact on recovery, or prevention directly. Because cancer does not result from a lack of regenerative ability, but rather the body being unable to identify the difference between the cancer cells, and healthy cells, so it never breaks down or replaces them at all.
Honestly they just need to look at the coding of their DNA see what traits are highlighted and we're almost I think to the point of using technology the model or remodel the way our body produces certain cells through our DNA strands or through the process of how DNA is used to put certain codes within ourselves to do certain functions being able to replicate the traits that they have in our own bodies might be very beneficial to stop ourselves from dying so fast or to at least allow them to heal their selves without the decay process going on but we have to be careful we have that's how cancer cells happen. So it is a lot to go into but I think we're very close I give you the number 20 years and maybe if we can get certain patterns removed we can probably have it sooner. Definitely going to be sooner than what most people think I believe when we have that breakthrough
I don't get it someone explaiinnn Edit: to everyone who ansewred thanks, but I just wanted to know why she said "mazel tov" in that situation, not its meaning😅 sorry y'all!
@reddy161 "Mazel tov is literally translated as "good luck" in its meaning as a description, not a wish. The implicit meaning is "good luck has occurred" or "your fortune has been good" and the expression is an acknowledgement of that fact." -Google
This is also why you shouldn’t house axolotls together. They’re naturally solitary and will often bite off each others gills and legs. Even though they grow them back it’s not something you want to have happen
@crossfire4691 Mazel tov is a Jewish celebratory exclamation. It literally translates as "Good day" or sometimes "Blessed day," and is used to congratulate someone for different things, particularly religious in nature such as a bar mitzvah or, yes, circumcision.
@@cam5816 A psychiatric nurse made a mistake with giving me an antipsychotic when I was supposed to get a stimulant, I have been diagnosed with ADHD and successfully treated for years until I was eighteen. I ended up suffering brain damage as a result and haven't been the same since, I struggle with making bill payments on time because I forget about them when I used to have a far better memory for important things and can only think sequentially when I used to easily think in terms of whole systems, I was on the way to being a software engineer but struggled with depression because of the ADHD and the effects of an abusive environment had on my love life making finding a partner in a world that abhors neurodivergence really difficult which took a toll on my self esteem in addition to the abuse I faced at home. Basically if it wasn't for being born smart enough I wouldn't even be alive right now and would have long ago tried carving deep into my skin because I am a loser in a world that doesn't want me to be alive
@@ttterg6152 They still do depending on the hospital. The pain is the point of it after all, its to identify the antisocial kids so they can excommunicate themselves. Yes it is barbaric and machiavellian why do you think the medical establishment perpetuates such obvious lies about it.
Do you consider marine mammals aquatic? If so then beluga whales take the cake. Either them or some type of seal. If not, few types of fish actually want to interact with humans: porcupine fish, manta rays, morey eels. Octopuses too, idk whether they qualify as cute, but they sure are cool.
@@user-th3bo2yp1tFor those that can be kept as pets I’d say puffers take the cake with their big google eyes, little smiley mouths, and dog-like personality I remember seeing a video of one that just *loved* having their belly rubbed, and whenever the human tried to rub their back they would roll over so they could keep getting their belly rubbed. So adorable ❤
I fucking love this channel. Me and a buddy of mine are both deployed and we normally go several days or a couple weeks without talking but whenever one of us sees a new video posted we send it to each other with a bunch of hype haha This channel is a lot of fun for us
@@DaveYognaut RU-vid was showing that it wouldn't change but now that I've come back it shows "up" so I guess the app just needed to be closed and reopened, phew, I don't like feeling like a hater lmao
