Buen video, otro problema es que al no saber las variantes de la evolución biológica en la naturaleza y este caso por interacción humana podrían evolucionar todos los animales a modo de que los biomas, nichos y ecosistemas sean a prueba de seres humanos o en su contra, donde sería guerra contra la naturaleza pues naturalmente todo estaría diseñado en contra del ser humano, sugerencia.
#MinuteEarth, can you make a dedicated video about “stress”🤯 which is an invisible emotion, alongside Joy 😁, Sadness 😢, Anger 😡, Disgust 🤢, Fear 😱, and maybe even Surprise 🫢. You could even feature these characters from Inside Out. Have you also heard of Karoshi (過労死) which is Japanese for “overworked death 💀” that happens due to stress which a victim could die from heart attack or stroke after working so hard. I had a meltdown that changed me into a better person who tries to live a happy, de-stressed life. Money couldn’t buy me happiness, only love ❤ can. At 0:10: Hoothoot the Owl Pokémon from the Pokémon franchise is featured in this video. At 0:14: Bruxish the Gnash Teeth Pokémon from the Pokémon franchise is featured in this video. At 0:57 and 1:54: Wile E. Coyote from the Looney Tunes franchise is featured in this video. At 2:35: Magikarp the Fish Pokémon from the Pokémon franchise and Finneon the Wing Fish Pokémon are featured in this video. Also, with an Ocellaris Clownfish, a regal blue tang, a moorish idol, and a blowfish are references to Finding Nemo and Finding Dory.
Actually, colourful parrots are often very hard to spot in the canopy of tropical trees between colored leaves and flowers. So their colourful plumage is actually pretty good camouflage and not a 'bad idea'.
@@alexanderlenssen5948 if the strategy was bad… less colourful species would thus have a greater chance of survival, and the more colourful ones would die out. That’s just evolution. Truth be told, the exception IS the rule. Plus, bright flashy colours are also a trademark of certain animals, (frogs, for an example) who can be awfully poisonous, and/or venomous. It’s not a BAD thing to look like you’ve come fresh out of the animal kingdom’s very own rave, yknow?
also a point is Most animals are quite colourblind ,,,so they dont see the colourfull animals as colourfull otherwise another point is certain animals see colours diffrent then us so for us a flower or butterfly is may be white ,,bu for another butterfly or bird these thigns are not white but dark purple with orange spots etc certain animals have also groves and spots that only can be seen /shine or get diffrent coloured if your able to see a certain light spectrum (that we humans cant see normaly) and in the end the most amazing fact a white crabspider on a white flower or a brown stick insect on brown sticks is nicely camoflaged for us but for other isnects and Birds they actually not XDD
@@south452 If the exception is the rule, then we should be seeing more colorful animals out in the wild. But that's not the case. You might wanna rephrase that somewhat. I get the idea but disagree with the overall conclusion
I would note that the limited color vision of most mammals are largely responsible for mammals drab colorations so while color has disadvantages with regards to predators a bigger factor on land is that most mammals can't utilize the benefits of communication via colors. Only the old world primates which have re-evolved a third color cone are actually able to see the world the way we do for well obvious reasons given that we are old world primates. Birds have no such limitations as they still have 4 color cones and thus bright plumage is all over the avian world.
As a diver and photographer, I can tell you that below 10m everything is blueish even up close because the sunlight is absorbed during the travel from the surface and only blue remains. It's like using a blue flashlight at night. This is also why at low depths you can use a red filter to take underwater pictures (that reduce the blue so all the spectrum is evenly reduced). But deeper you have to carry your own lights or strobes to provide the whole spectrum and see the colorfulness of the reef.
Yeah, just a few days ago I went to see the coral reefs in the Florida Keys and it was a lot less colorful than I had expected. You could barely see anything other than just pure blue. Before that, I had just seen the photos where they’re super vibrant but that makes a whole lot of sense, thank you for sharing your knowledge!!
0:10 Hoothoot and Mightyena 0:13 Bruxish 0:26 Shiny Gyarados 2:34 Finneon, Magikarp Aside from Pokemon, I also noticed a Finding Nemo reference with the three fish on the bottom right next to each other (Clownfish: Nemo or Marlin, Blue Tang: Dory, and Moorish Idol: Gill) And of course, Wile E Coyote at 0:57
I'm surprised that evolution would select for less colorful and not just keep the colors as-is if water provides such a good camouflage. Interesting as always!
Maybe if there is no "use" in color it loses it's values for selected breeding, so within a few generations this trait can get lost or at least less flashy
It's because there are better camouflages on the open ocean like countershading, it's common on pelagic fish like sharks, tuna and even aquatic mammals like whales :)
The answer. Colorfulness doesn't become a negative trait, but stops being a positive, so fishes aren't forced to evolve brightest colors and they become less colorful to an extent
yep, marine bettas are not bettas at all - they're in the roundhead family, Plesiopidae, which are completely unrelated to bettas, which are in the gourami family Osphronemidae. the common name "marine betta" comes from the similar body shape and long fins to true freshwater bettas, but the similarity is just coincedental
I spot a green-finned Betta splendens? And a Hemichromis sp. cichlid? Those are freshwater fish, though. That said, I do can believe your points also apply to the great african lakes and the murky waters betta live in...
Thank you. I thought I was the only one who noticed that. Its always either Bettas or colorful cichlids that get mixed in whenever people make "Reef Fish". I'm surprised this channel made the same mistake.
yeah I noticed that too, it's really not uncommon to see various freshwater fish mixed into art and graphics of coral reef fish - ime the discus cichlid is an especially common culprit
And of course the bright colors of beta splendens are largely due to human selective breeding. Wild type betta are nowhere near as colorful as their domestic counterparts (although still a bit colorful) - the same is true for guppies and goldfish and pretty much any animal we've been keeping as pet for many generations - people want pretty pets and pets don't have to worry about predators. Even relatively newcomers to human breeding, like ball pythons, are already way more colorful than their wild ancestors.
That's very interesting! Our camera crew observed a specific fish with bright colour: the lionfish. They look super cool and attractive, but they're one of the world's most skilful invaders. Our crew learned how the lionfish escaped its native waters and explored its destructive impact on reefs worldwide.
It’s so sad that the early 00s were probably already too late to stop the coral bleaching, yet people still basically took it for granted as part of the environment. If it did come up in discussions, it was always as a far flung future risk we of course want to avoid. Not something we’d already essentially committed to. Bleh.
at one point it is sad on the other hand .,.. while the great barryer reef dies off (it wil lactually not cause new corals wil lgrow who can tolerate higher temps etc) at other places where it was to cold before for reefs ,,,new reefs will start growing the great barryer is only like a bit over 3.000 years old ,,, so whatwas there like 4.000 years ago ? even the Amazon Rainforest ist that old and a few Tousand years ago there where today is the Rainforest ,,,was just a big Savannah and so was the saharah also a savannah but turned then into a desert we always just see the nagatives ,,,but never see ,,that ecosystems and the world was changing long before us and even we speed everything up destruction wise we also speed up the evolution of new species cause they have to adapt to the new evoriments we create
I watched NatGeo a lot as a child, hence I first colored the fish normally using bright colors and then colored the water as well as the fish (again) blue. This was in preschool and the teacher disliked it so much that I probably got a zero and she also complained to my parents 😅. Talk about childhood trauma 😂
Huh, I never thought about this, figuring that speedy escapes aside, fish simply hide in the chaos of colourful reefs and plants, or are unreachable in small crevices. I think watching too many animated undersea movies has reset my default ocean-facts-and-assumptions, and I'd just forgotten the lowered visibility in general and for colours in particular.
This is like people asking how a tiger with its brilliant orange and black stripes can be camouflage and then being shown a picture of a tiger hiding in the brush.
Hey I've got a question for you / future topic: Why are shark eyes more on the side (like a prey animal) than in the front (like a predator)? Aren't they considered apex? why do they give up the advantage of depth perception which would be incredibly advantageous as a strike predator?
They probably depend more on other senses to detect their prey. Sight is often very limited underwater. Even in shallow water, the water can be very murky with particles, greatly restricting visibility. Sharks also don't move in a straight line as much as predators on land, so with their head moving back and forth, peripheral vision might be more useful since they can't keep a steady gaze on their prey anyway.
i think part of it is because as fish, there’s also a whole other dimension they need to be keeping track of. they don’t just move left and right, but up and down as well. the same applies to birds like falcons and eagles which also have eyes on the side of their head. it’s easier to spot things when you can see in more directions
This is why scuba divers carry a flash light even in the daytime. When you’re ten meters down everything is bluey grey even close up, until you shine a lamp on things, and then you see the true colours
why at 18 seconds did you put a FRESHWATER neon green glow fish betta that was artificially engineered using crisper in a coral reef? betta fish are NOT neon green in the wild they are still quite colourful but not neon green.
That graphic about the red panda bothered me, because their fur isn't actually all that conspicuous to most predators. In fact, the majority of creatures that might prey upon the red panda are red-green colorblind. As such, their fur actually makes for pretty good camouflage amongst green vegetation. Additionally, their arboreal habitat includes lots of reddish-brown moss and white lichen, making them even better suited to their environment, even when attempting to evade predators able to perceive more colors (ex. large birds of prey).
BUT, Rainbow lorikeets get away with being colourful, probably because they’re mostly green, but have a blue head, orange/yellow/red chest, yellow “ears” , red eyes and a orange beak! Hard to spot if you see them from the back.
