GoPro helps a lot

Actually, I've been to caves, and most of the water comes out from it are very clear, because there is no mud and most of the caves water are flowing, that is why the debris from stone and mineral always flow following the water, limestone cave is most common with clear water

@@ae_marn is it healthier than normal drink water?

@@morpheus3823 you can drink it but do not drink from stalagmites because it is full of minerals that causes your urinary tract to get stuck by some of that minerals

omg, I want this comment to stay on top.

it gave me dancer vibes immediately

everytime an axolotl die an evil axolotl is born

True

These guys live in Texas axolotls live in Mexico they’re probably relatives

@@j0an-07-arc6 Obviously, all salamanders are related.

@@timdeathly I assume they meant very closely related, or that they evolved directly from axolotls. No need to be condescending in a place where we are all trying to learn and enjoy nature 💖

You'd be exhausted and bored out of your mind. It's incredibly hard work and requires tremendous amount of patience. It sometimes takes years for these documentary crews just to bait the right 60 seconds of footage! These people are heroes who deserve a lot more credit.

... George finally got his wish and traveled to Belize with the team. He was never heard from, ever again. No one knows what happened to George. 😔

It's ok not everything can live forever

convergent evolution =/= creation of a carbon copy. they may look similar but olms are very different and besides i dont think that means we should look the other way as an entire population gets destroyed. animals dont just exist for the novelty of us looking at them

that's sad...

+stellvia hoenheim lunatic..

stellvia hoenheim we live in their world, you know. All these things, in some shape or form, existed, lived and thrived before we were ever in the equation. It’s people with mindsets like yours and the guy going “eh idc if they die there’s other ones” are why our home is so polluted and native flora and fauna struggle in many places. We’re supposed to live alongside animals and plants, not trample them to live as we see fit.

I understand where the insult Troglobyte comes from now and what it insinuates

@@brandonden795 The insult is "troglodyte", which refers to a species of cave man. Similar meaning after all because "troglo" means "lives in a cave" in Latin.

alisabrittany I thought it was an axolotl too at first!

oabuseer ~ I love my lil' aliens! Watching my Frankie and Dante eating bloodworms as we speak...

alisabrittany I am sure these belong to the same family as axolotls :) good luck with Frankie and Dante

Axolotls with duck bills, maybe

Doorknob more like a axolotl with platypus beak :D

He got pretty mad when that crab pinched it XD

I need laughing emoticon pls

Some interesting facts, Blind Newts can go without eating for 4 years, possibly longer. They don't have lungs like other newts and they live significantly longer than land dwelling non-troglobitic species of newts, exceeding 80 - 100 years.

Mohamed Farouk Good questions.

Because humans will eat anything with a heartbeat, regardless of how rare it is or the consequences of doing so.

Mohamed Farouk i hear eating these makes your wiener grow large. a shaman from came from far away lands just to tell me that.

Guys, I'm only asking for further information. It doesn't necessarily mean that I'm going to eat Troglobites. I'm just cruious to know more about these creatures.

Mohamed Farouk Just ignore them dude. To be honest, I think it's possible we've never eaten these before, if they've been recently discovered then the only folk around them are the natural scientist type. I dinnae think they look into these things.

Can I ask what is your age

@@cocobaba5490 nonce

We have proof of evolution in boatloads its not even funny anymore that people still deny evolution its just plane ignorance and not wanting to give up on their ideals at this point.

@@rageraptor7127 Quite the other way around. I don't even believe in religion but there's no evidence of evolution as defined by the scientific community. There's evidence of evolution but that evolution only takes place as species adapting into new kinds with already existing genetic information (such as dog adapted into a chihuahua, hybrid camels, and others), but there's no evidence of any animal developing into another by use of acquiring new genetic information. It's always a shuffle with already existing info. A dog no matter how much you breed it will not develop the ability to breathe underwater, because that'd require genetic info that's not in dogs DNA. Likewise an ant cannot through millions of years of natural selection develop to have a butterflies colorful wings or a human's brain because it doesn't have that info in its dna. It can however develop th o become bigger or to lose it sight because that's require a shuffling or loss of existing genetic info. Things that has been observed to be true, addition of new genetic info is proven to not be possible through evoluyion.

Elozabeth Ramirez for one your wrong. An ant can evolve to become like a human in terms of both intelligence and size given enough time and similar circumstances it’s called convergent evolution. You don’t require a certain set of dna to become anything you just need the same external pressures and same circumstances of niche for a species to evolve in that direction. It’s the same way dolphins and ichthiosaurs evolved almost identical despite never having similar ancestors. One was a reptile while other a rodent and yet they evolved the same regardless of millions of years apart. Also saying an animal adapts isn’t even accurate terminology. Adaptation implies it thought about what it’s as doing and simply changed. Evolution is the small addition of random mutations over time with some being turned off or on depending on circumstances and environmental pressures. We can also see the fossil record for evidence of evolution. The oxygen in the air that we breath was the result of evolution from protists that lived in the sea creating carbon to protists that produced oxygen. We have multiple examples of evolution in rainforests and urban incitement’s. Even you dog example isn’t really accurate because a dog and a wolf are still the same species their simply different varieties of the same group which we choose to genetically alter over time based on our preferences. Whales came from hooves animals and we know that because they have similar anatomical and fossil structures. Not to mention their both mammals and both have the same parts despite some being useless to the whale.

@@elozabethramirez77 according to your understanding of evolution species can only adapt to already existing genetic information and new genetic information cannot arise. That would imply that only a select number of species appeared ex nihilo and adapted to their environment resulting in the diversity of life. Except that we observe throughout the fossil record species that existed in various geological strata and time scales that aren't seen today. Would that mean there were similar ex nihilo events? or did all species on earth appear around 4.5 billion years ago? Where and when do humans fit in this picture? Why does DNA sequencing of all life show evidence for common ancestry? Have a think about it. (some tips to think about: ;- common ancestry, evolution of a population not an single individual, try and fathom time scales e.g 1 million seconds = 11.5 days, 1 billion seconds = 31.7 years. The earth is 4.5 billion years old. and how natural selection works) Btw here's an easy to digest video on how new genetic information evolves. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-G4VINRUe_o4.html

@@elozabethramirez77 Well you could breed a dog able to breathe underwater it would just take an extremely long time and you would need to measure capillaries near skin somehow.

no

Those are gills

Those are actually a type of gills.They're sorta like external lungs that extract oxygen from water.

Prismo I don't think they're referring to the frills themselves, but rather the small lining around it that you can see things running through.

I think it's the same process as the alveoli in our lungs. An extremely thin layer of cells in contact with the air, or in this case, the water, that is able to extract oxygen from it and into the bloodstream.

Yes, that is exactly what is happening here.

the fishes fins are like hands so I call them fands hahahaha

THANK YOU COME AGAIN

Ur nostrils though

It isn't evolution so much as it is just losing what isn't needed. It's a loss not a gain. It's like losing skin pigmentation when generations of people have lived in the north.

Depends on the kind of evolution we are talking about. Macro-Evolution (one species completely changing into another species) is an unproven theory. Micro-Evolution (changes within a species, like the creatures in this video losing their eyes and pigment) is an entirely proven and acceptable scientific fact.

Jesse Stanley, the difference between the micro and macro evolution you mentioned is time scale. 'Micro evolution' happens in a scale of 100 years depending of the spices. what happens in millions years? This spices took 1000 generation to change its fins into paws because of it's environment. Einstein said that the truth is the one that survives the experience of test. give ONE experience that shows that the "macro" evolution is false. it's not because we call it a theory that it's not proven. the theory of relativity then would be just a non proven theory.

My disbelief in macro evolution comes from its explanation of where life came from. Life cannot come from non-living substance. No amount of chemical reactions will ever be able to create a living organism, no matter how simple of one. Fossil records also condemn macro evolution to be something of a joke... for taking thousands of generations to change there is next to zero evidence of one species turning into another.

you're free to believe what ever you want. There was life in water millions of years ago. cells started to split and adapt since then. they still do.

And you are free to believe what you want too.
