The Evolution of Frogs 

Exactly! I put all of his videos in a playlist. I basically listen to his videos everyday.

Hey, I know it's unrelated but I want to know what's the music playing in the background called? I've been trying to find it from a long time ago, but I haven't been able to.

Same

Was gonna like but you're at 69 already and it feels wrong somehow.

No facts ✊🏾

You could put on subtitles

@@Darkside-origin automatic subtitles are not known for their scientific accuracy lol

@@thomasbruinsma fair point

​@@Darkside-origin Imho the giant flightless birds, that MothMedia had made a video about a while ago, became ever more terrifying and epic by the automatic youtube subtitles calling them "forrest rockets".

I'd guess its as simple as their development has turned into stages based on age or environment so hormones. if you look at how a body changes from the embryo on instead of a continuous change there was an advantage to pause and that they had already evolved to living on land. there are some frogs(or toads?) that dont have a tadpole stage and some salamanders that will live in water unless their pond drys out. I think unfortunately can only make guesses of past based on extant species since you need to watch an alive animal to know this unless really lucky to find a group of one species from many different ages and that preserved soft tissue and even then.

logically, the first thought would be that they probably did have the same reproductuon and life cycle (egg, tadpole, gradual transformation into adult form), but then you think about species of snake that don't even lay eggs and instead give live birth, and you have the platypus which is an egg-laying mammal... so it's probably hard to know for certain, since as hard as it is to find adult fossils of this creatures it must be even more difficult to find infants or eggs preserved in some way

Layman's opinion here, but it seems likely to me that amphibians have always had metamorphosis as part of their life cycles. One big (if not the biggest) evolutionary shift from amphibian to non-amphibian was the development of the amniotic egg, which uncoupled reproduction from the aquatic environment. Reproduction in water is therefore intrinsically linked with amphibians as a group, and it thus seems reasonable to assume that it has always been advantageous for them to retain aquatic morphology in the stage just after birth before developing terrestrial morphology in later stages.

@@MrJakeypakey I understand that and you are right But my though was more in the line of, somewhere in the distant past, there was an animal, amphibian or not, that had to resort to this type of dramatic transformation during its lifetime and afterwards passed it on to amphibians I just have this enormous curiosity of what made this enormous change in physical and behaviour on an animal which normally others take millions of years So far no one seems to have an answer sadly

@@danielalexandre89 Because their eggs have no shells. This is where embryology becomes part of the conversation. Most vertebrate embryos follow the amphibian metamorphosis in utero, while the stages of amphibian embryos concur with the stages of fish embryos, and the earliest stages of the newts concur with newly hatched fish. What happened is that amphibians were able to develop adults for the land, but still needed water for their newts - the lungs being a later stage addition. They keep adding new features that rely on lungs, but they cannot expedite the development of the lungs to an earlier stage in their development, and they cannot make that happen inside the eggs - as the eggs are shell-less and therefore need water anyway. Only when the animals manage to include more metamorphosis before the hatching, do they lose this necessity. That relies on an egg shell. (A.k.a. reptilian). We even find parallels of this phenomenon in insects. The most primitive ones (dragonsflies, mayflies) still have most of their lives under water, only the adult stage is lived in the air. Later insects discover new ways of needing less water: burying their eggs in soft / decaying tissue, larvae that can move on land (no more gills), etc. It´s not that something made them change into land animals during their lifetime, it´s rather that they hadn´t found a way / couldn´t find a way to start life anywhere but in the water - hence needing lots of metamorphosis to happen after hatching.

Careful, soon you'll be moving up to the really hard stuff like binging all of AronRa's Systematic Classification of Life

Does anyone know where I can find the music that are used in these videos?

@@edwardkilarsky9244 can’t say I do, hope someone’s able to help find it tho 🤙

Everything evolves into crabs

I’m guessing crabs and barnacles used to be bananas

Which crab evolution? It keeps happening, they can't be stopped

LOL with the bananas. I remember these topics from the Hovind vs. Ra debates.

@@horseandcart5978 Both of which have ZERO scientific support

Especially given the insane aggression levels and almost complete prey indiscretion we can observe in some modern amphibians compared to the more selective and usually defensive attitudes of reptiles. Like imagine an animal with the size, power and ambush ability of a crocodilian with the prey response of a bullfrog.

@@fatterperdurabo42069 Exactly! There are a couple of channels on YT just demonstrating what a bullfrog will try and eat, it's crazy what they will fit in their mouth. Imagining an apex predator with THAT kind of attitude is terrifying.

♫♪ But green is the colour of spring ♫♪

It may not be the largest, but the African bullfrog is certainly the strongest macropredatory frog for its size.

For real, sometimes RU-vid doesn't care if you hit the bell or not, it only notifies what it wants

Those were stock photos.

@@gy2gy246 doesn’t matter.

Bi erasure

Probably more likely than it using its skull to bash its prey into submission.

@@quitlife9279 Is this a joke?

@yo yo oh I don't remember why I said this tbh, maybe I just misread the comment lmfao

The paper that proposes the head generated lift also concludes that with an open mouth the amount of lift does not decrease significantly, so it could effectively chase prey while rising Then again this was in 1980 and I would be happier with the result if somebody did a modern computer simulation

Your wife tortures frogs for fun doesn't she?

I do the same with insects. Don't know why I'm so scared of them to be honest.

@@Cobbido no, she waves her hands around and runs away. It's funny.

@@ixcutamp8059 we all have something like that. I hate dusty or chalky surfaces. I absolutely detest them. I can't have flour or anything on my hands. No idea of why.

Whilst making fun of people is cool Frogs are so cute

*f r o g e*

By your logic 1999 is a thousand years before 2000

I knew I wasn't the only one to notice that.

At that size it wouldn’t be able to hop. The Chinese giant salamander is bigger than a dog, but it’s very slow and loses moisture too easily outside of water.

which ones? :D

@@Eckendenker crabs?

@@lassebirkhenriksen Too generic. Need to specify.

Just crabs in general

@@lassebirkhenriksen Crabs are one of the most fascinating cases of convergent evolution. Nature actually can't help but evolve into crabs over and over again. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carcinisation

Can’t win them all.

Quantity over quality is a winning strategy!

Some are poisonous though!

Some frogs can be quite large or poisonous and have sufficient protections from predators provided they survive the young stages. Also there are some specialized frogs that lay eggs on land or care for their young. Usually they are tropical poisonous species with enough protection.

But they make great pets, so kind of a W for them

Lmao

Evolution is based on blind Faith. Charles Darwin never observed a change in kinds of animals (fish to human, monkeys to human etc). He only had theories. Adaptation is a real thing where bird beaks changing to fit their environment or certain animals developing defence mechanisms to survive attacks like camouflage, some humans are hairier than others because they live in sandy environment. Genesis 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth, and all the host of them, were finished. The Bible is against evolution suggesting everything to be finished when God spoke it into existence. Remember Evolution is unscientific as it is neither repeatable or Observable.

@@thereisnonegoodbutgodjohn363 “Evolution is based on blind faith” No, it is not. Evolution does not require faith, as a myriad of evidence does support it. It’s your religion that needs blind faith, and your religious leaders too agree that your religion needs faith as it does not have evidence to support it. “Charles Darwin never observed a change in kinds” Because there is no such thing as kinds. And, if you go by the biblical definition of kind, it refers to a group of organisms that can interbreed to “bring forth after their kind.” That’s the biological definition of species, and speciation has been observed in lab conditions and in controlled environments. Also, evolution does not permit one creature to become a fundamentally different creature. Evolution is monophyletic, meaning that organisms never grow out of their ancestry and are in every clade that their parents were. And creatures change at a slow, gradual pace, not in leaps. “He only had theories” You don’t even understand scientific terms. A theory refers to a body of study that includes laws, falsifiable hypotheses, evidence, and facts. It’s not the colloquial meaning. And adaptation is evolution. Creatures develop their features to evolve over time. This is how our chimp-like ancestors eventually gave rise to humans, we had selective pressures everywhere in Africa, and eventually the genes that made us more human-like became dominant in populations. There is no imaginary boundary where adaptation stops causing huge changes in an organism. And your bible is full of lies! It’s a book full of deceptions and fairytales. It cannot be used to prove anything, it’s a myth. That must explain why evolution is verifiable with evidence, tests, and observations! Also, tell me, is creationism observable, repeatable, or falsifiable? No it is not, and it’s deliberately dishonest to say otherwise.

@@juanjoyaborja.3054 Amen 🙏 Thank god I am an atheist 😇 Well said good sir. It trully makes me sad that people are so poorly aducated and will rather just brainwash themselves with outdated knowledge from a book from 2000 years ago... Pluss am pretty sure most cristians now a days except evolution, cuz you have to be blind to not to.🤷‍♂️

@@thereisnonegoodbutgodjohn363 Why do you believe what you believe? Why do you think your god is the one true one, and why isn’t it one of the thousands of god people believe(d) in; is it because of your upbringing? Do you REALLY think the biblical stories are the best explanation for life on earth? Because to most people they come across as simplistic; more like ideas children would invent, and abandon once they learn about the world around them. Why on earth do you even comment on videos like this? Your rather pathetic preaching won’t convince anyone, unless they’re already heavily invested into your inaccurate worldview. Maybe you should actually WATCH the videos you comment on, instead of just slagging them off.

RIP to Crunchy Lettuce, who just wanted to comment about crabs and instead got religious arguments in their replies I also hope there's a crab video or there will be one soon, crab solidarity
