You might think the way mammals eat is pretty simple: They open their mouths and bite the thing they want to eat. But for some marine mammals, feeding strategies can include suction or vortices!

@takeshmode Год назад

Good show! I never really thought about marine animals needing to adapt from chewing to suction feeding but it was definitely very fascinating.

I have a joke, a swimmer in the ocean sees a bunch of fish, swimming to the surface, just beneath him, once they get to the surface they start flopping around, and he's like hahaha oh it tickles......*GULP*, WELL, now he knows how Jonah felt, maybe he could run down the length of the whale until he's all pooped out 😂

@JennyVieve125 Год назад

Love this but it's a missed opportunity to show off the hyoid apparatus that allows marine mammals to really suck since it looks like t-rex arms on the skeleton, and also some crabeater and leopard seal teeth that allow them to spit the water out without loosing tiny food. So many more cool pictures. Weird looking marine mammal bones could be a whole new video.

@germanomagnone Год назад

In the 2019 documentary, Amazing Dinoworld, in the second episode: "The World of Sea Monsters", show how the mosasurus (progntenhodon) could suck the prey with the jaws inherited from its ancestors similar to the Varanids (Lizards monitor). in your opinion they have "sprayed" the water into excesc.

@hungryluma27 Год назад

Nice title HA I was concerned you were just gonna hate on some of the coolest animals ever

@digit975 Год назад

1:57 that’s what she said

@robharwood3538 Год назад

@1:14 : I'm pretty sure (but can't immediately confirm) that some birds, such as hummingbirds, do exactly that when they eat, for example, mosquitos and other small insects. The beak, being wider near the base of the beak, is opened rapidly and this allows even agile flying bugs to be caught via suction.

@cephasagbago5509 Год назад

1:54 "You might mostly be thinking about your lip when you're sucking "milkshake" through a "straw", but while those help, it's mostly the tongue and the throat doing the sucking" 😭

@debralambert1353 Год назад

As a long-time diver, I didn't find this surprising. I've been "jetting" water out of my mouth for years. I've eaten grapes under water without drinking the salt water that surrounds them using that same process. Press the grape against the roof of your mouth while your regulator sort of bobs in your mouth and water is pressed out. You do swallow a bit of air but it's not too far a stretch from what seals must be doing. And honestly, I've never met a seal with flatulence.
