Welcome back to the second episode of our new format for Bizarre Beasts, which we're calling Season Zero. Over the next year, we will be remastering episodes of Bizarre Beasts that were originally created for Vlogbrothers.
Revisit the Red Handfish with us as we (once again) confront the question, why is this fish walking?
A special thanks to the Handfish Conservation Project / Rick Stuart-Smith, for so much wonderful Handfish footage. If you'd like to learn more about the Handfish Conservation Project, you can visit their website here: handfish.org.au/

I'm betting they walk because that negates the need for a swim bladder. Similar energy as swimming, given where they are in the sea, just as much food, but they save a lot of biological resources by eliminating their swim bladders; not just the organ itself but the proteins coding for it and the blood vessels and nerves maintaining it.

@brooklyna007 6 месяцев назад

A swim bladder doesn't seem that energy intensive. It is a *relatively* simple and passive organ.

@jansenart0 4 месяца назад

@@brooklyna007 Even if it's only 5% total of a creature's anatomy, organ itself and the biological infrastructure to grow and maintain it (other animals have considerably larger ones by the way), then that means you get an extra creature's worth of material for every 20 you make. Not just the energy to keep it, but the biological energy, the carbon credits if you like, to have it part of the production in the first place.

If they’re in the angler fish family, then they must be related to the red-lipped batfish, which Animalogic just covered. Those are also walking fish that can barely swim, but they are contenders for “ugliest fish”. And they have beards.

@trout512 6 месяцев назад

Well, swimming does make you an obvious target, so it makes sense to avoid swimming if you and your food live on the ocean floor. But the ability to evade predators by swimming, even for short bursts, should be enough to keep swimming around. The only thing I can thing is that there's diseases in fish that can mess with swim bladders, right? I know that's a thing in freshwater fish, but I'm not familiar enough with saltwater. But if there are diseases that cause saltwater fish to float or have buoyancy issues due to the swim bladder, that could be evolutionary pressure to lose the organ entirely. Fish that float when sick would be easy targets for predators. The other thing to consider is that there might not be ongoing pressure to avoid swimming. Potentially one event/issue wiped out swimming handfish back when the species were just starting out. Evolution is a messy, wild, absurd process that doesn't lead to the perfect organism.

Genuine question: with all the edits and revisions, why don’t you just re-record the entire video rather than re-editing it? /Asking out of curiosity, not judgement

@Alfonso162008 6 месяцев назад

I have no idea, but my guess is that they do all their research for a whole season of Bizarre Beasts in a certain time frame before recording all the episodes, but this year it all got disrupted by Hank's cancer diagnostic and treatment, so they probably had enough time to add some new or updated facts about animals they already covered, instead of presenting a completely new set of facts from a whole new batch of animals. Also, I guess it gave them the excuse to put that whole first season more in line with the rest of the show in terms of visual presentation, pin sets, etc.

@@Alfonso162008 ohh that’s a fair take. I didn’t realize Hank had health things going on, def makes sense they’d keep the rerecord time down to a minimum. Thx for the context:)
