Let's let's get after it. 17 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,319 Speaker 1: The it's it's a special time of year. It's like 18 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 1: the wait, is it the vernal equinox? It's the shrimple 19 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 1: shrimp shrimp lee, shrimple equinox. Absolutely a criller pun right there. 20 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 1: Uh yes, But but we are talking about shrimp today, 21 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 1: and I thought, Hey, instead of me just yammering about shrimp, 22 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 1: why don't I ask you guys what you want to 23 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 1: hear about shrimp? So I did, and I got some 24 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 1: really awesome questions on Twitter about like, hey, what the 25 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 1: what the heck going on with shrimp? You know, what 26 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 1: the heck going on with shrimp? Right? You know, like 27 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 1: you're where you take up for granted that they're just shrimp, 28 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: but when you think about it, the heck, Yeah, that's 29 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 1: a really good question. I am. I am constantly wondering 30 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: what go on with shrimp? What go on with shrimp? 31 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 1: And why are shrimp? And like that was a lot 32 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 1: of the theme of a lot of questions. Some of 33 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,559 Speaker 1: them were very specific, but some of them were just like, hey, 34 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,359 Speaker 1: why why why shrimp? Why are shrimp? Uh? Here are 35 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 1: some of my favorite questions along the theme of what 36 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 1: is a shrimp? Anyways? So? From Alex is our shrimp 37 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: tiny lobsters? Uh? From the Tiago is am I a shrimp? 38 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 1: From Mr Borax is is there a difference between a 39 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: shrimp and a prawn? Are crawfish freshwater shrimp and from 40 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 1: Blake Rogers is Pepe the muppet is often very vocal 41 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,639 Speaker 1: that he is a prawn and not a shrimp. Is 42 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: there truth to this or is he just trying to 43 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 1: reinvent himself like a college freshman. So I think it's 44 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:58,359 Speaker 1: interesting because often there are these questions about taxonomy where 45 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,799 Speaker 1: it's like what is a shrimp? And the reason it's 46 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: confusing is not because of you guys. It's because it's confusing. 47 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: It just is like even when you look into sort 48 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:14,679 Speaker 1: of the like official categorization of shrimp like animals, it 49 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 1: gets pretty confusing. So generally speaking, there are like I 50 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: would say, four types of animals that fall into the 51 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 1: realm of like shrimp, like, in my opinion, so there 52 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: are shrimp, prawns, crayfish, and krill. Uh So you've heard 53 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 1: of all these guys right right down in some way 54 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: shape or in some way or another. Yes, yes, um. 55 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: So you know shrimp like we get that in like 56 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 1: in our food there, like when we cook them, they're 57 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 1: those little pink things, but when they're uncooked and alive, 58 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: they can come in many different colors. You know. Prawns 59 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: are another thing that we think of as like, hey, 60 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: that's pretty similar to a shrimp, Like is that a different, 61 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 1: different thing? Crayfish or another thing that's like, is it 62 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 1: a shrimp? Is it a lobster? What is that? And 63 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 1: then krill or teeny tiny things that kind of look 64 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: like shrimp, But what the heck are they? So all 65 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: of these dudes are crustaceans, and with the exception of krill, 66 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,720 Speaker 1: they're also all decapods. So they're all related to crabs 67 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 1: and lobsters. Okay, what's comforting? Yes, is it? I'm glad 68 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: to know that it's all part of the same family. Yes, 69 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:37,160 Speaker 1: I you know, sometimes I worry about I don't want 70 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 1: to offend any any sea creature of any kind and 71 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 1: just make some sort of assumption about yeah exactly, just 72 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: you know exactly, or the or the deep deep cold 73 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 1: take But I don't want to. I don't want to 74 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: offend any sort of crustacean or shelled animals of any kinds. 75 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: So it's confident they're all the same family. Yeah, you 76 00:04:56,040 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 1: don't want to be thoughtless and shellfish. I do it 77 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 1: because I do it because I heard I'm kidding. I'm 78 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 1: kidding you could in terms of like what what is 79 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: a shrimp. You could define shrimp as anything belonging to 80 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 1: the infra order kara or true shrimp, if you're being 81 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 1: really strict about it, but you could also define them 82 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: as anything belonging to corider or dendro branchiata, which is 83 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 1: the suborder of decapods known as proms um. And so 84 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: that's a little bit of a more generous definition of shrimp. 85 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:46,479 Speaker 1: But then that still leaves out some species commonly called shrimp, 86 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 1: like boxer shrimp or ghost shrimp, or even mud shrimp. Mud. Yeah, there, 87 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 1: they are shrimp that often live in muddy flats. Uh. 88 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: And so the most broad definition of shrimp that belongs 89 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 1: to not only many different species but different orders as well, 90 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: would be any small crustacean that looks shrimp like so 91 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 1: elongated body, long tails, thin legs, a rostrum. So that's 92 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 1: that pointing nose like thing out in front of them 93 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: that that looks like a little nose, but it's actually 94 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:27,480 Speaker 1: not a nose. It's just a point extrusion, eye, stalks 95 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: and antenna. You know, the shrimp look get the shrimp 96 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: drip if you will. Okay, well i'm i'm you know 97 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 1: it's one of those things where it's like you always 98 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 1: see an appendage or some sort of like extra extrusion 99 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 1: from a creature and you're like, yeah, that could be this, 100 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 1: but that's me putting my own human centric ideals on 101 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: what these things should be. And it's like, no, that's 102 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: not that. That's for sensing earthquakes. It's like, oh, okay, 103 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 1: all right, the cool there's this. I love. There's this 104 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: like joke and the original SpongeBob movie where there's a 105 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: deep sea anglerfish that it's um lure is in the 106 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: shape of like an entire ice cream store and grandmother. 107 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: So I just love I love that kind of like 108 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 1: thing where it's like, oh, it looks like it looks 109 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: like a human hand, but really what it is is amount. 110 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: But yeah, what would like if if I said, like 111 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: like get the shrimp look like, what would you do? Like? 112 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 1: What what shoes? If I wanted to get the shrimp 113 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 1: look well, I mean this again maybe traditional and stereotypical, 114 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: but I would go for a pink a pink color 115 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 1: would arch I would arch my back, probably stick my 116 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: face out as much as possible, and have my arms 117 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 1: and fingers kind of out like this just kind of 118 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 1: like right. I know I'm saying like this, this is 119 00:07:56,120 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 1: you know, podcast, a famously video medium, but eagine Danial 120 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 1: and he's like kind of like he's got his fingers 121 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: out like a bunch of shrimp legs and he's making 122 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 1: a shrimp face too. It's very convincing, and he's like 123 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: wiggling thank you, and it's like I'm looking at a shrimp. 124 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 1: I appreciate that. Thank you. I've been working on my 125 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 1: improv recently and that thank you. Yeah. So in terms 126 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 1: of what we get to call he nailed it. In 127 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 1: terms of what we get to call shrimp, I would say, like, 128 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: I think you're pretty safe to call prawns and most shrimp, 129 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 1: like crustaceans, shrimp. Nobody's gonna get too mad at you. 130 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: And maybe there's some shrimp purists. I would say krill. 131 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,839 Speaker 1: While they do look a bit like shrimp, they're so 132 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 1: teeny tiny and I've actually never seen them referred to 133 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: as shrimp, so maybe maybe they don't qualify. Maybe they're 134 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 1: not allowed. They get turned down by the shrimp bouncer. 135 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:58,079 Speaker 1: The club. Shrimp and crayfish, in my opinion, are crayfish 136 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 1: are too large and meaty to really be called shrimp. 137 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 1: I think they're more similar to lobster. Like on the 138 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 1: shrimp to lobster spectrum, they fall mainly lobster. So I 139 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 1: would say like, like, if you're like, hey, prawns and 140 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,839 Speaker 1: shrimp are basically the interchangeable, I'd agree with you. But 141 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 1: if you're like, oh, our crayfish shrimp, I'd say, no, 142 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 1: you know, I feel it m hm. And you know, 143 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 1: but shrimp can be found all over the world, and 144 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: they can live in a variety of environments, from the 145 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 1: sea to freshwater to mud flats like that mud shrimp 146 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 1: we just And this relates to another question I got 147 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 1: from a listener who writes, this is the devil to pay. 148 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: That's a good that's a good. Uh, that's a good handle, 149 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,560 Speaker 1: especially especially when it's just like this polite shrimp question. 150 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 1: Are there shrimp that live by those volcano events at 151 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 1: the bottom of the ocean? If so, are they all 152 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 1: see through like most of the weird stuff down there? Also, 153 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 1: do cave shrimp exist? Are they eyelists like some cavefish? 154 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 1: I love this question. Um, So indeed, there are deep 155 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,719 Speaker 1: sea vent shrimp, and lots of them, like as we 156 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 1: know that really in the deep sea. It's this cold, 157 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 1: harsh environment, but there are these thermal vents from geothermal 158 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 1: activity below the Earth's surface and they spew this hot water. 159 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,559 Speaker 1: It's a mixture of like gases and water and weird 160 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 1: minerals and lots of bacteria can grow around them, and 161 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 1: so a lot of life can be sustained by these things, 162 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 1: including huge amounts of shrimp. So there is something called 163 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,839 Speaker 1: the bie Bay I'm not sure how you pronounce this. 164 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 1: It's like either Bebe or bee Bay hydrothermal vent field. 165 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: Or it's also called the Picard vent field. I guess 166 00:10:55,360 --> 00:11:01,679 Speaker 1: where you star trek nerds out there, uh. And they 167 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 1: are the deepest hydrothermal vents in the world, and they 168 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:10,719 Speaker 1: are found in the Caribbean near the Cayman Islands. And 169 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 1: it is absolutely teeming with a strange, relatively newly discovered 170 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 1: species of ghostly white eyelis shrimp. So there are a 171 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:27,679 Speaker 1: couple of pictures of it that I have shared with you, Yes, 172 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: And it just looks there's this it looks like there's 173 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 1: this weird sort of like white coding on this thing. 174 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 1: The shrimp. That's all shrimp, Like hundreds and hundreds and 175 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 1: hundreds of shrimp, and it's the second picture down to 176 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: maybe jump ahead as a second picture down more of 177 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,839 Speaker 1: a close up on set. Yeah yeah, yeah, so you 178 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: can see in the second picture you can see more 179 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 1: of the individual shrimp, but that there are so many 180 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 1: of them and they're all sustained by these hydrothermal bits. 181 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 1: These are called Rima Harris and these pale shrimp do 182 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:10,559 Speaker 1: not have functional eyes. Instead, they have photoreceptive patches on 183 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 1: their backs that are able to detect the faint glow 184 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 1: of a deep sea event. So they only need enough 185 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:24,559 Speaker 1: like photosensory cells to be able to guide themselves towards 186 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 1: events so that they can feed on the life sustained 187 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: by the event and stay you know, relatively warm compared 188 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 1: to the cold cruelty of the deep sea. I have 189 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 1: I have a question about said cold cruelty of the 190 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 1: deep sea, or rather the the lack there of around 191 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 1: these events. How hot the events get? Do you know? 192 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 1: They get extremely hot, so you definitely don't want to 193 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,439 Speaker 1: get up near the boiling points. So most of the 194 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 1: water in the deep sea is very very cold, so 195 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 1: around forty degrees fahrenheit to which is two degrees celsius. 196 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: But once you get to one of these events, it 197 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 1: is from boiling to super boiling, So from around a 198 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 1: hundred and forty degrees fahrenheit, which is sixty degrees celsius too, 199 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:19,719 Speaker 1: up to eight hundred and seventy degrees fahrenheit, which is 200 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:23,440 Speaker 1: around four hundred and sixty degrees celsius. That's really okay, 201 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 1: that's extrue. That is very hot, very hot. That's you know, 202 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 1: skull meltingly hot. Wasna I was literally gonna say, melt 203 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 1: your skin off hot, but you know what you said 204 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 1: it for me? Yep, yep. So these shrimp do have 205 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 1: to be careful not to get like right near the 206 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 1: mouth of the hydrothermal fin or else. They probably turned 207 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 1: into a kind of tempera situation surrounding the events. They 208 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 1: basically find an area that's not too hot, not too cold, 209 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 1: sort of the goldilocks area, and and hover around there 210 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 1: so they don't get boiled, but they also get nice, 211 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,439 Speaker 1: nice warmth, and they also get a lot of nutrition 212 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:05,719 Speaker 1: from the life that these events sustain. That's I just 213 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 1: I'm still blown away. The heat resistance of these tiny 214 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 1: shrimp is like, that's wild, that's wild. Think skin melting 215 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 1: off easily like not even not not like you could 216 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 1: you know, you could handle it for a minute, and 217 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 1: I was no, we're talking like instant skin melting versus 218 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 1: these shrimps that are like, oh could we found it? No, 219 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 1: we can. I mean I think, to be fair, I 220 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 1: think if these shrimp get towards the area that is 221 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 1: skin melting, they would they would get boiled in probably 222 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 1: really tasty kind of just like this, yes exactly, but 223 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 1: uh they do know where to go, like where to 224 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 1: hang out um where it's not so boilingly hot and 225 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 1: that they can survive. And this is the case for 226 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 1: like there are certainly micro organisms that actually can withstand 227 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 1: extreme heat, like the bacteria I mentioned, They actually can 228 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 1: survive that skin meltingly boiling heat of the hydrothermal vents. 229 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 1: But the invertebrates that hang around these vents would get 230 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 1: boiled by that. But there they figured out how to 231 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 1: basically stay in the in between zones, so things like 232 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 1: YETI crabs and these these eyeless shrimps they make sure 233 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 1: that they stay within the realm where it's like close 234 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 1: enough that they can benefit from all the like the 235 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 1: fauna that these events allowed to grow without getting boiled 236 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 1: and turned into shrimp scampy that will there you go. 237 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 1: And the second part of the question is whether caves 238 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 1: have shrimp, and yes, indeed they do. There are a 239 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 1: few species of cave shrimps. Among them are the Kentucky 240 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 1: cave shrimp, which to me sounds like a fast food item. 241 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 1: Kentucky cave shrimp that's come, that's coming from KFC very soon. 242 00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 1: I guarantee it, I will be in line to get 243 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 1: my first batchup popcorn Kentucky cave shrimp, Kentucky cave They 244 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 1: are pale and eyelis just like their deep sea counterparts, 245 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 1: and they managed to live in caves by feeding off 246 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 1: the sediment brought into the cave system by groundwater. So yeah, 247 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 1: shrimp are extremely hardy animals that can really survive some 248 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 1: extreme conditions, which I think is sometimes it's a little 249 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 1: bit interesting to think about because it's like shrimp, they're 250 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 1: so little and delicate, but they can be badasses. M 251 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 1: I mean, if I've learned anything about animals is that 252 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 1: they are stronger than us by a country mile or 253 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 1: an animal or whatever, but like they will outlive us 254 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:50,160 Speaker 1: in every respect no matter what. Shrimp unionized screwed. We've screwed. 255 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 1: I don't know if they're like ants, but I gotta 256 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 1: imagine that there's like several hundred or hundred thousand shrimp 257 00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 1: for every human on earth. Yeah, oh yeah, I'm sure 258 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:07,359 Speaker 1: we'd be outnumbered extremely so yeah, including Brian shrimp doomed utterly. Yeah, no, 259 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 1: they would take us all were I love the word skeletonized. Well, 260 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 1: we're going to take a shrimp sized break and then 261 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,880 Speaker 1: we are going to be back with more shrimp questions 262 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:30,960 Speaker 1: that I will answer. Welcome back, and we are answering 263 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:36,119 Speaker 1: your shrimp questions. So this was a frequent question. It's 264 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 1: about It's about those poop veins. This is from Wizard 265 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:45,679 Speaker 1: Wizard p I on Twitter. Everyone knows about shrimp veins 266 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 1: and removing them, but do shrimp have real veins little 267 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 1: shrimp hearts? Where are they hiding them? If so, what 268 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,920 Speaker 1: kind of course strength do these suckers have? Seems like 269 00:17:55,000 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 1: they're like muscle. So and then here's another question from 270 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:07,399 Speaker 1: Zinte Daniel who writes, when you eat shrimp, are you 271 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,640 Speaker 1: eating shrimp poop? Legit? Concern for me. My sister told 272 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:12,879 Speaker 1: me this once and I've never eaten it, eaten it 273 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 1: since son I've got got a lot of other requests 274 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 1: about the poop veins. Um. So, the poop vein, if 275 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 1: you don't know, is this dark string looking thing that 276 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 1: runs along the back of the shrimp uh and is 277 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:31,359 Speaker 1: said to be full of poop. It's not a real vein. 278 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: It is actually the shrimps intestinal tract. Yeah. I like 279 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:41,880 Speaker 1: how you threw up devil horns for intestinal intestinal track. 280 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 1: Vein intestinal track, So the black stuff inside of it 281 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 1: is actually digested food and yes, poop. Uh. Most chefs 282 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,399 Speaker 1: will actually remove the poop vein by cutting along the 283 00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:01,359 Speaker 1: back of the dead shrimp and removing the intestine. So 284 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 1: in this case, you would not be eating any shrimp 285 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 1: poop if you do not remove the poop vein. Yeah, 286 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:10,359 Speaker 1: you're gonna be eating a little bit of shrimp poop. 287 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 1: We're gonna get a little shrimpoop. I mean, you know. Look, 288 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:18,479 Speaker 1: but even in that case, it is generally harmless because 289 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:22,359 Speaker 1: we cook shrimp. So the reason people prefer to remove 290 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,159 Speaker 1: the poop vein other than the yuck factor is that 291 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 1: some people find it too gritty with the vein in 292 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,399 Speaker 1: because shrimper scavengers, they actually get a lot of sand 293 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,119 Speaker 1: and grit in with their diet. Um. So like you 294 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 1: chew into shrimp, maybe you're kind of getting a gritty taste, 295 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 1: Like I don't like the taste of gritty shrimp poop, 296 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 1: picky picky. But during the cooking process, any bacteria in 297 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,119 Speaker 1: the digestive tract is killed and so it's it's not 298 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 1: going to hurt you. And how do you know whether 299 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 1: the shrimp has been d veined? I mean, if you 300 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,200 Speaker 1: see a black vein running along the shrimp back, then 301 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 1: that's the intestine. It's still the and if you if 302 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:06,160 Speaker 1: you don't see that the shrimp poop, it's probably poop free. 303 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,680 Speaker 1: So that that is how you know whether you're getting 304 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 1: shrimp poop or not. In terms of the shrimp core strength, 305 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 1: we're actually going to talk a little bit more about 306 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 1: amazing feats of shrimp strength later. Um. But yeah, they 307 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 1: do have a lot of muscle, but they also do 308 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:28,440 Speaker 1: have a circulatory system and other little tiny organs that um, 309 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,440 Speaker 1: you know, it's hard to imagine fit inside a little 310 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:35,440 Speaker 1: little shrimps. So they do have a circulatory system with 311 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 1: real veins, So they have a tiny heart arteries and 312 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 1: veins that run along its body and supply it with blood. 313 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,639 Speaker 1: It also has a tiny brain and nervous system. So 314 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 1: when chef's talk about de veining a shrimp, they're not 315 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:54,119 Speaker 1: really referring to removing all of its arteries or circulatory system. 316 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:57,440 Speaker 1: They're they're talking about the poop, the digestive tract, or 317 00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 1: the quote unquote poop vein um. But when you do 318 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 1: remove the intestine, you actually also remove the posterior aorta 319 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,359 Speaker 1: because those are attached to each other. So you are 320 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 1: technically removing a vein um. But the reason for it 321 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 1: is the poop tube. Yes, indeed, the poop tube. I 322 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 1: love that poop tube given to me spectacular. So you 323 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 1: want to you want to eat? Do you? What about you, Dane? 324 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:22,359 Speaker 1: Do you have a preference? Do you eat shrimp? Even? 325 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 1: I do? Yeah, I do. I do shrimp um. I 326 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 1: am of the lazier of lazier shrimp consumers who will 327 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 1: when I go to my local shrimpery, I'm getting the 328 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,879 Speaker 1: easy peel d veined shellless shrimp, so that I just 329 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 1: I pull them tails off and then cut them in 330 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,680 Speaker 1: half and throw them in the pot. So I'm usually 331 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 1: not eating the vein. That said, I do love the 332 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,680 Speaker 1: act of like you know, peeling apart and like taking 333 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 1: and you know, it's doing a little bit of the 334 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:51,879 Speaker 1: actual gift your hands dirty sort of work. So and 335 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 1: that's yeah, I do too. It's it's like it's a 336 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 1: little bit of I feel like kind of an animalistic 337 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,359 Speaker 1: instinct for me. I love like um, sort of like 338 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:06,240 Speaker 1: cracking into food, which sounds very like a little bit grotesque, 339 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 1: but it's like from anything from like a pistachio to 340 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 1: a lobster. I like this like sort of like getting 341 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 1: in there. I actually don't love shrimp that much in 342 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,440 Speaker 1: terms of food, Like I don't eat it very often often. 343 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 1: I do like shrimp tempera um. That's like kind of 344 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,359 Speaker 1: my only exception somehow. Like the texture I don't like, 345 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,880 Speaker 1: which is weird because I do can tolerate lobster even 346 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 1: though it's a fairly simple similar texture. But yeah, I 347 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,200 Speaker 1: don't know it's it's but I do like the I 348 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,680 Speaker 1: like getting in there like with crab or lobster, like 349 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,639 Speaker 1: you know, which is kind of like. Well, on the 350 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 1: more shrimp questions, so here's one is jumbo shrimp and 351 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:51,360 Speaker 1: oxy moron. Also, why did trigger and pistol shrimp evolved 352 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:55,639 Speaker 1: their snapping abilities. This is from Christi Yamagucci, Maine. I 353 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 1: think you know Christie, of course, of course shout out 354 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,719 Speaker 1: and Crispy Keen, Crispy. And here's another one from Blake Rogers. 355 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,200 Speaker 1: If a pistol shrimp attack the palm of my hand, 356 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,359 Speaker 1: what sort of damage would it do? So these are 357 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 1: related questions. I'm gonna answer both of them. Yes please. 358 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:16,440 Speaker 1: So first of all, is jumbo shrimp and oxymoron um No, 359 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:20,399 Speaker 1: I would say like jumbo shrimp is like everything is relative, right, 360 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 1: like I can say a large chihuahua or a small whale, 361 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 1: yes exactly, or like I'm having a minor emergency my 362 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 1: large chihuahua. It just took a dump the size of 363 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,879 Speaker 1: a small whale, and you know it all, it all 364 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,920 Speaker 1: works out right. I mean to me that that question 365 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,360 Speaker 1: reads like a bad stand up joke from the early 366 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 1: two thousands or the lake or something. We are roasting 367 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:46,119 Speaker 1: Christie on this. Well, I mean, he even even he 368 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 1: knows if I know Christie, he knows that there's a 369 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,200 Speaker 1: little bit of the old there's the little wink and 370 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,399 Speaker 1: nod at this joke right here or at this question 371 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 1: right here. But like to anybody who can't read between 372 00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 1: the lines. It's like, is it we call we call? 373 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 1: We call know? Mini Coopers or whatever compact cars are 374 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 1: they compact? Does it fit in your pocket? Absolutely not. 375 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 1: It's still a compact car. Can I check my make 376 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:13,880 Speaker 1: up with it? No? Thank you, thank you. But yeah, 377 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 1: Daniel's calling out Christie. I'm gonna have to have Christie 378 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,160 Speaker 1: on the show to call you out. I guess please. 379 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:20,920 Speaker 1: I mean, first of all, have him on. Who he 380 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 1: would be a great guest, excellent speaker, hilarious person. Let's 381 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 1: do it. Yeah. Also a big also a big proponent 382 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 1: of the Chris Crofton Poetry Hour. Have you read Cris Crofton? 383 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 1: Have had Cris Crofton? Oh my gosh, what a legend. 384 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:36,960 Speaker 1: I love that guy, Chris Crofton's Poetry Hour. It's great. 385 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 1: You can suggest any kind of poetry prompt and he'll 386 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,159 Speaker 1: write a poem for you and it's very good. So 387 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,359 Speaker 1: we need to have him back onto. In terms of 388 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 1: the serious part of your question, pistol and trigger shrimps. 389 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:53,640 Speaker 1: So they are a whole family of quick draw shrimp 390 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 1: who use a mechanism in their claws to snap at 391 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:04,119 Speaker 1: prey and stun them. So let's talk about the claw mechanism. So, um, 392 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:08,879 Speaker 1: they have these huge claws that are like over half 393 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 1: the size of the rest of their body. There's actually 394 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,960 Speaker 1: an image in their uh danial where you can see 395 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 1: how huge these claws are. It's like it's like hell, God, damn, 396 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 1: that is a huge claw. What you know, how like 397 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 1: hell Boy has a big arm exactly like that. It's 398 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 1: just like that. But yeah, that's a big that's a 399 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,399 Speaker 1: that's big arm. It's like having a machine gun for 400 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:34,680 Speaker 1: an arm. So and indeed, they can snap these claws 401 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 1: very quickly and shoot out like a pulse of water 402 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 1: that can stunt prey. So uh. The top of the 403 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 1: claw is the only part that basically moves, and it 404 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:50,120 Speaker 1: has a hidden plunger in it that actually fits into 405 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,200 Speaker 1: a socket at the bottom of the claws, sort of 406 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,920 Speaker 1: like a mortar and pestle uh mechanism. So the top 407 00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,399 Speaker 1: part opens up and then with a huge amount of force, 408 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 1: the muscles snap it back into place and it closes 409 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:08,119 Speaker 1: over like the water in this mortar uh. And the 410 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,879 Speaker 1: bottom claw with such a huge amount of force that 411 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,200 Speaker 1: it creates a jet stream that can travel over a 412 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 1: hundred feet a second, which is so fast it creates 413 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 1: a cavitation bubble that collapses with a lot of force 414 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 1: and for a fraction of a second. In some species, 415 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 1: that cavitation bubble can reach eight thousand degrees fahrenheit, which 416 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 1: is almost as hot as the sun. Yes, it's like 417 00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 1: a time, it's like creating a tiny sun in this 418 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,120 Speaker 1: right near this shrimp claw. But it's such a it's 419 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 1: so tiny and such a like fraction of a second. 420 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 1: It doesn't like burn the shrimp or anything around it. 421 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 1: It's just it's just how concentrated that forces. It's just 422 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:05,920 Speaker 1: to be clear, Just to be clear, audience. You know 423 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,600 Speaker 1: I have been I've been very I've just had my 424 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 1: mouth open a gate for the past like ten seconds 425 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,679 Speaker 1: staring at Katie just with with the with the mentioned 426 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 1: of that. There was no drop on the connection or 427 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 1: anything like that. You didn't lose me there, Well, I 428 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 1: mean I lost my mind. But like eight thousand degrees 429 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 1: in the tip of that shrimps claw, all right. I 430 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 1: mean I was already never going in the ocean again, 431 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,920 Speaker 1: but now I'm definitely never going in the ocean again. Wow. 432 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:38,680 Speaker 1: That's wow, that's that's a big scary geez. Louise this 433 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:44,160 Speaker 1: snap also goes in at two d and ten decibels, 434 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:50,159 Speaker 1: which you know under yeah, underwater, it's not going to 435 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 1: hurt your ears. But yeah, it's it's technically extremely loud. 436 00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 1: It just happens to not because it's not in air 437 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,640 Speaker 1: and the sound doesn't travel like it doesn't in the air, 438 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,399 Speaker 1: Like it's not going to like cause any deafness, but 439 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:11,000 Speaker 1: very loud. They use this ridiculously forceful snap, uh to 440 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:15,240 Speaker 1: that to stun their prey, so that jet stream smacks 441 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,679 Speaker 1: the prey. It's done them. Sometimes it even kills them 442 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 1: if it's a little little fish. Uh So yeah, it's 443 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:29,920 Speaker 1: it's an incredibly powerful Yeah. So some pistol shrimp species 444 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,480 Speaker 1: aren't all about the violence. Uh, they are pretty cute 445 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 1: and that they can form a symbiotic relations shrimp with 446 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 1: gobie fish who they share a burrow with and team 447 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:44,480 Speaker 1: up against danger. So the gobie has better vision than 448 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:47,560 Speaker 1: the shrimp and can warn the shrimp of threats, and 449 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,400 Speaker 1: the shrimp kind of keeps the gobie as like a 450 00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 1: pet and like we'll touch it with its little antenna 451 00:28:53,320 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 1: to maintain trust in their relations shrimp and justice. Nice. 452 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 1: Uh And in terms of like how did pistol shrimp 453 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,320 Speaker 1: evolve their snapping abilities. So if you look at the 454 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 1: anatomy of a pistol shrimps claw versus a non snapping shrimp, 455 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 1: it looks like the muscle tissue evolved to be able 456 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 1: to pull back the top of the claw further over 457 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 1: the full crum of the hinge joint, which allows a 458 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:26,320 Speaker 1: much more powerful snap. Uh. So this seems to indicate 459 00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:31,280 Speaker 1: that selection pressured uh drove for bigger muscle mass so 460 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,800 Speaker 1: like a more powerful like snap, which makes sense, like 461 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,320 Speaker 1: even if you're just like a non pistol shrimp, like 462 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 1: getting a powerful snap and a quick snap will help 463 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:44,120 Speaker 1: you catch prey faster and grip onto it with more strength. 464 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:46,800 Speaker 1: So you can see how that could start to like 465 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 1: go spin out of control and instead of just being 466 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 1: about grabbing the prey, having such a powerful snap that 467 00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,760 Speaker 1: just the snap itself, you know, stunts the prey with 468 00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,280 Speaker 1: the jet stream. So I think it probably was like 469 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:03,760 Speaker 1: selective rushers for catching the prey by manually grabbing onto it, 470 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,320 Speaker 1: which kind of turned into this thing of like, oh, well, 471 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:09,760 Speaker 1: I snapped and missed the prey, but my snap was 472 00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:15,480 Speaker 1: so powerful it's still stunned the prey. So yeah. And 473 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 1: in terms of the the last question about these pistol shrimp, 474 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,600 Speaker 1: what would happen if a pistol shrimp attacked the palm 475 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:26,120 Speaker 1: of your hand? Just blow cold clear through the palmp. 476 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:31,960 Speaker 1: Now I'm kidding. You wouldn't have a hand. What hand? Now, 477 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,480 Speaker 1: I'm kidding. I'm kidding. Um. So outside of the water, 478 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 1: if you pick up one and they shrimp, it probably 479 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 1: couldn't do much um as its pistol uses water bullets. 480 00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:45,280 Speaker 1: So um. I think if you've got your hand hot 481 00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:49,720 Speaker 1: in the clode, probably hurt pretty bad. Inside the water. 482 00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,280 Speaker 1: If you put your hand in and it snaps at 483 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:57,280 Speaker 1: your hand, it hurts a lot. Apparently, I read on 484 00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:02,040 Speaker 1: an aquarium owner's website that they own a pistol shrimp 485 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,800 Speaker 1: as a pet. Apparently people own these things, these little 486 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:09,000 Speaker 1: tiny weapons on legs as pets, and it, um, she 487 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,800 Speaker 1: got her hand too close, it's snapped at her and 488 00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:16,280 Speaker 1: it hurt real bad, and she cried. I'm not laughing 489 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:19,840 Speaker 1: at her crying. It's just like, no, no, it's it's silly. 490 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:24,360 Speaker 1: It's like she I mean, I would expect cry. I mean, 491 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,640 Speaker 1: just with all the information I understand, it's like a 492 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:28,560 Speaker 1: scale thing, you know what I mean, they're tiny. It's 493 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:30,360 Speaker 1: it's small, so it's not like it's not like a 494 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,280 Speaker 1: tome to danders. But like I would have been ready 495 00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,560 Speaker 1: for you to say. And she screamed so loud it 496 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:38,480 Speaker 1: broke the heavens apart, right that it just she she 497 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,360 Speaker 1: had like a perfect like hole in the middle of 498 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 1: her home. Shrimp stigmata. That's fine, that's funny, but yeah, no, no, 499 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:52,680 Speaker 1: it just it doesn't um while like this jet stream 500 00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:57,520 Speaker 1: is very powerful, you know, because the shrimp is relatively small, 501 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:01,840 Speaker 1: and I think it's just sort of a matter of scale. 502 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:06,160 Speaker 1: So for a delicate little fish like that, snap is 503 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:10,560 Speaker 1: going to be lethal, um if or it's gonna stun you, 504 00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:13,080 Speaker 1: Whereas like you know, it's like if you if you 505 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:17,280 Speaker 1: poke a hand really hard, it hurts, but it doesn't 506 00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:20,200 Speaker 1: destroy your handwheards, if you poke a little goldfish real hard, 507 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:25,800 Speaker 1: just bordered goldfish and the monster, that's jerk stuff right there, 508 00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,600 Speaker 1: that's jerk stuff. Don't poke gold not about that life, 509 00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:34,200 Speaker 1: not about that life. No. Uh. And here's another shrimp question. 510 00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:37,160 Speaker 1: So this is from Hannah Michaels, who we've also had 511 00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:39,720 Speaker 1: on the show. Another friend of this show um, which 512 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:44,000 Speaker 1: is why do Brian shrimp hatch so easily? And Brian 513 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:49,360 Speaker 1: shrimp are really really interesting. They are this ancient primitive 514 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:55,160 Speaker 1: crustacean who really haven't changed since the Triassic Period. So 515 00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:57,320 Speaker 1: have you did you ever get sea monkeys as a 516 00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 1: as a kid? Dandal? You know, I did not. I 517 00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:02,480 Speaker 1: was not a sea monkey person. Unfortunately. I had goldfish 518 00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:04,320 Speaker 1: that or I had a couple of fish that I 519 00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:07,240 Speaker 1: was not very good at taking care of um, and 520 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:09,800 Speaker 1: we decided that we probably shouldn't let me. I was 521 00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:11,480 Speaker 1: just you know what it was. It was the big 522 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,520 Speaker 1: issue was that I was bad at regulating the temperature 523 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,240 Speaker 1: of the tank. It was like there was a specific 524 00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,040 Speaker 1: temportunity to hit and I think it was that, like 525 00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:21,360 Speaker 1: my tank was too close to the window, it was 526 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,200 Speaker 1: getting heat it up by the sun. It was like 527 00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:25,960 Speaker 1: it was I was a bad fish owner. I'm just 528 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,920 Speaker 1: I was very bad and I am so sorry to 529 00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:34,880 Speaker 1: those fish. I'm eternally very sorry. They forgive you from 530 00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:39,000 Speaker 1: fish heaven. Probably that's what I needed to hear. The 531 00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:42,080 Speaker 1: like trying to own fish as a kid. It is 532 00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:44,240 Speaker 1: one of the more heartbreaking things because it's it's hard 533 00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:46,800 Speaker 1: to keep fish alive as an adult. But like you, 534 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,880 Speaker 1: you're like, hey, kid, here's a good starter pet um. 535 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:53,000 Speaker 1: Except it's like an extremely finicky animal that if like 536 00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:56,560 Speaker 1: you give it the wrong temperature or the water pH 537 00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,520 Speaker 1: is slightly off, it'll be dead and it'll be your fault. 538 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,240 Speaker 1: Always strange to me how it's like goldfish are a 539 00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:08,480 Speaker 1: starter animal. Exactly, yeah, exactly. I think it's easier to 540 00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:11,040 Speaker 1: like take care of a cat than like a fish. 541 00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:14,919 Speaker 1: I am tempted to agree with you entirely. At least 542 00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:16,920 Speaker 1: the cat is going to tell you explicitly. It's like, hey, 543 00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:20,279 Speaker 1: you're yeah, did you take mack you in the face 544 00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,680 Speaker 1: if you're not feeding it right? But yeah, Brian, Shrimp 545 00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:27,160 Speaker 1: a k a. Sea monkeys are these teeny teeny tiny crustaceans. 546 00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:30,000 Speaker 1: You get this little package of what looks like tiny 547 00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,600 Speaker 1: like little poppy seeds or something, and you pour them 548 00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:36,319 Speaker 1: in water and boom, you've got a sea monkey civilization. Uh. 549 00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:38,400 Speaker 1: And the classic thing is that it's like on the 550 00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:41,719 Speaker 1: package they look like some kind of like king and 551 00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,520 Speaker 1: queen of sea monkey Land. But then when you hatch them, 552 00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:49,920 Speaker 1: their tiny weird, little like like prehistoric looking things with 553 00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:52,920 Speaker 1: a bunch of little wiggly legs. But it is like, 554 00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,160 Speaker 1: it is super interesting how this works, Like how do 555 00:34:56,239 --> 00:35:01,000 Speaker 1: you create brine shrimp from these dry, little poppy seed things. 556 00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:04,880 Speaker 1: So these eggs are known as cysts, which is a 557 00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:08,320 Speaker 1: lovely term. I love uh. And so they can remain 558 00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:14,239 Speaker 1: dormant in dry, oxygen free or even freezing conditions for 559 00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:19,040 Speaker 1: over two years and once they're placed in water, they 560 00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:21,960 Speaker 1: can hatch in a couple of hours. So this is 561 00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:25,719 Speaker 1: some some sci fi stuff going on, very sci fi. 562 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:30,719 Speaker 1: What in the hell? So, typically brine shrimp will lay 563 00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:34,879 Speaker 1: thin shelled eggs that hatch immediately, and this is when 564 00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:39,040 Speaker 1: the mother senses that conditions are optimal for the babies 565 00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:42,279 Speaker 1: to hatch and go along their life cycle. But when 566 00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:46,520 Speaker 1: conditions are rough, like high concentrations of salt or low 567 00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:51,400 Speaker 1: levels of food, the brine shrimp will lay thick shelled cysts, 568 00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:56,200 Speaker 1: which contain a fully developed little larva and is basically 569 00:35:56,360 --> 00:36:00,800 Speaker 1: a holding stasis chamber for the baby. Brin instrim. This 570 00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:04,920 Speaker 1: is this continues to be true like sci fi of 571 00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:08,520 Speaker 1: just like I love nature and that's why I love 572 00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:11,840 Speaker 1: your podcast so much. Like every every episode is is 573 00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:14,239 Speaker 1: like it's like, yeah, the stuff that's like, this is 574 00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:17,040 Speaker 1: only these the tales of legend. It's like, no, these 575 00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,359 Speaker 1: are these this is actually most of the animals out 576 00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:21,000 Speaker 1: there in the world. They do the stuff already. It's 577 00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:23,239 Speaker 1: actually not even sci fi. It's just reality for a 578 00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:25,879 Speaker 1: lot of these creatures. It's like, right, like you want 579 00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,880 Speaker 1: to see like alien stuff, alien sci fi stuff. You 580 00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:31,640 Speaker 1: just like, like you get a package of sea monkeys, 581 00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:35,160 Speaker 1: open up a book, Open up a book, open up 582 00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:39,719 Speaker 1: a book, open up your mind exactly, you're actually going 583 00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:43,479 Speaker 1: to share a picture of a price. Like they look 584 00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:47,360 Speaker 1: they kind of look like like aliens, like alien aliens 585 00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:50,919 Speaker 1: from the movie Alien. Gorgeous. Wow, look at those things. Yeah, 586 00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:53,600 Speaker 1: they're they're like little aliens. And then they can go 587 00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:57,719 Speaker 1: into like alien stasis. I feel like, like, what's his name, 588 00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:00,640 Speaker 1: like hr Geiger, the guy who did the designed for Aliens. 589 00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:04,320 Speaker 1: Like they must have gotten some inspiration from Brian shrimp. 590 00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:12,120 Speaker 1: Absolutely absolutely, um so uh. These cysts that contain the 591 00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:17,440 Speaker 1: Brian shrimp larva can become completely dehydrated and the larva 592 00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:21,920 Speaker 1: enter into what's called an hydrobiosis, which is a state 593 00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:27,320 Speaker 1: of suspended animation in the absence of water. And so 594 00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:30,200 Speaker 1: when you get some of these sea monkeys and hatch them. 595 00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:35,759 Speaker 1: You are rehydrating these dehydrated cysts and you are rehydrating 596 00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:39,160 Speaker 1: the larva inside of them, which will then trigger them 597 00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:43,239 Speaker 1: to hatch, and so you will watch them hatch like 598 00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:47,839 Speaker 1: in a couple of hours. Luckily or hopefully, I got 599 00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:50,279 Speaker 1: some brin shrimp wants, and like I tried to hatch them, 600 00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:53,360 Speaker 1: and they just were all dead. I don't think I 601 00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:55,360 Speaker 1: had the right water. I think I just used some 602 00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:58,880 Speaker 1: like tap water or something, or maybe a few I 603 00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:01,080 Speaker 1: think a few of them did hatch, but then they 604 00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:07,000 Speaker 1: die classics um. But yeah, yeah, and then you have 605 00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:12,200 Speaker 1: these little tiny, primordial alien shrimp things. It's really incredible. 606 00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:14,360 Speaker 1: It's one of those things that like as kids, it's like, 607 00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:16,640 Speaker 1: oh yeah, that is messed up that you could do 608 00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:20,000 Speaker 1: that as a kid. It's like like in in you know, 609 00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:23,160 Speaker 1: I don't even know if like the full like weirdness 610 00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:25,440 Speaker 1: of it occurred to me as a kid, because it's like, oh, yeah, 611 00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:27,720 Speaker 1: just get a package of a little poppy seeds, Poorman. 612 00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:29,800 Speaker 1: Then I get a bunch of like weird little animals 613 00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:41,680 Speaker 1: wiggling around. Normal and fine, it's normal and fine, all right, 614 00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:49,359 Speaker 1: So we got more shrimp questions Danial. Yeah, so here 615 00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:53,080 Speaker 1: is a question from Leon the Badger, who asks do 616 00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:57,279 Speaker 1: shrimp have any camouflage abilities? If so, how do they 617 00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:59,919 Speaker 1: use them? And I just have a real quick answer 618 00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:03,080 Speaker 1: to this, which is lots of shrimp can camouflage. And 619 00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:05,440 Speaker 1: there are so many different types of shrimp camouflage, Like 620 00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:07,440 Speaker 1: I don't have time to go through all of them. 621 00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:10,279 Speaker 1: Maybe I'll do a bigger episode or something where I 622 00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:13,360 Speaker 1: talk more about these in detail. But you have everything 623 00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:17,279 Speaker 1: from like see through shrimp like ghost shrimp or Peterson's 624 00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:19,799 Speaker 1: Cleaner shrimp, who are literally they look like they're made 625 00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:22,680 Speaker 1: out of glass. You can see right through them. Um, 626 00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:26,279 Speaker 1: and so that is a form of camouflage. Uh there 627 00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:30,200 Speaker 1: are some shrimp who use stripes or disruptive coloration to 628 00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:33,040 Speaker 1: blend in with their coral environment. There are just so 629 00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:36,400 Speaker 1: many beautiful shrimp out there to be discovered and in 630 00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:39,319 Speaker 1: so many different types of shrimp. Crips is. So yes, 631 00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:42,759 Speaker 1: absolutely they do use camouflage and it's really interesting and 632 00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:46,560 Speaker 1: gorgeous and sometimes creepy, like the ghost shrimp. And so 633 00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:51,800 Speaker 1: our next question is from Bob Don who asks what 634 00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:56,880 Speaker 1: are the largest and smallest shrimp species? And uh, so this, 635 00:39:57,320 --> 00:40:03,200 Speaker 1: and then another question from Reynard is what is the 636 00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:07,560 Speaker 1: biggest a shrimp could possibly get in modern conditions? Um? 637 00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:11,600 Speaker 1: In terms of the smallest shrimp species, UM, I would 638 00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:14,680 Speaker 1: say probably. I mean Brian shrimp, I think are probably 639 00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:17,160 Speaker 1: the smallest. And you know, Brian shrimp are a little 640 00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:20,000 Speaker 1: bit weird. I don't know, like how because there's such 641 00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:24,960 Speaker 1: an kind of archaic shrimp type thing. Uh. It's again 642 00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:27,239 Speaker 1: one of those weird taxonomy things, like do they really 643 00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:29,799 Speaker 1: count as shrimp? But I would say, because we call 644 00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:32,520 Speaker 1: them shrimp, you know, small shrimp. But in terms of 645 00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:38,360 Speaker 1: the smallest like non Brian shrimp species is the fairy shrimp, 646 00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:42,600 Speaker 1: who uh is a little teeny tiny looks exactly like 647 00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:45,359 Speaker 1: a bigger shrimp, but just little teen tiny and they 648 00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:49,280 Speaker 1: only grow to be about six millimeters long as adults. 649 00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:52,080 Speaker 1: But they're they're also like a whole different there. There 650 00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:55,200 Speaker 1: are a bunch of varieties of species of these shrimps. 651 00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:58,680 Speaker 1: So yeah, so the fairy shrimp, which sounds beautiful and enchanted, 652 00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:02,920 Speaker 1: it sounds beautiful. I know, I want to party with 653 00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:07,000 Speaker 1: a fairy shrimp. Uh so uh, But in terms of 654 00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:12,040 Speaker 1: the biggest shrimp, this gets disconcerting. So the largest types 655 00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:16,520 Speaker 1: of shrimp are mantis shrimp species, which can grow to 656 00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:20,440 Speaker 1: be about four inches long or ten centimeters, which doesn't 657 00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:25,839 Speaker 1: seem too intimidating, but some specimens grow abnormally large, up 658 00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:33,800 Speaker 1: to eighteen inches long or forty eight centimeters. So I 659 00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:41,600 Speaker 1: don't love it. I'm gonna say, like, there's something about 660 00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:46,719 Speaker 1: a big shrimp that I'm not a you know, like 661 00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:51,400 Speaker 1: I'm not like big snail. Like we talked about small 662 00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:54,280 Speaker 1: things or things that are normally small that are actually 663 00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:57,080 Speaker 1: big a couple of weeks ago, and like big snail 664 00:41:57,200 --> 00:41:59,920 Speaker 1: I'm good with, like giant snail. I'm like, yeah, that's key. 665 00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:03,480 Speaker 1: It's somehow a big shrimp. When you scale up a shrimp, 666 00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:07,960 Speaker 1: it scares me. I don't like it. Okay, okay, you 667 00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:11,319 Speaker 1: know uncomfortable. Yeah you hear that. I hear that big 668 00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:13,680 Speaker 1: big shrimp definitely has I mean there's more, like there's 669 00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:16,120 Speaker 1: more wiggliness to it. A huge snail is just like 670 00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:22,000 Speaker 1: moving its slow, sluggish body across the round. It's like 671 00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:26,080 Speaker 1: I feel like I've become a fairy in a garden, right, Like, okay, 672 00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:29,440 Speaker 1: that look at my dog sized snail. We're friends now, 673 00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:33,520 Speaker 1: it's fine. When it's a big shrimp, It's like I 674 00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:37,600 Speaker 1: have been shrunk and put into a hostile ocean where 675 00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:40,239 Speaker 1: I'm going to get eaten by like a shrimp. And 676 00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:42,880 Speaker 1: that's not great. I don't love it. But yeah, so 677 00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:46,040 Speaker 1: while typically they do not grow to be up to 678 00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:51,320 Speaker 1: eighteen inches, they can and that is you know, again, 679 00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:53,600 Speaker 1: I'm not sure I love it. I'm not sure I 680 00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:57,239 Speaker 1: like it, especially when you look at I'll have these 681 00:42:57,280 --> 00:42:58,960 Speaker 1: pictures in the show notes and you can look at 682 00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:01,719 Speaker 1: it Danial in the docum. But like when you get 683 00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:05,919 Speaker 1: one of these big, big mantis shrimps, Yeah, they're big, big, 684 00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:08,399 Speaker 1: they were, They're big. I would definitely be I would 685 00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:11,640 Speaker 1: definitely be, um, what's world before here? It would be 686 00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:15,000 Speaker 1: weirded out. If I just saw that thing like crawling 687 00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:16,759 Speaker 1: along the ocean floor next me, I would definitely do 688 00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:19,279 Speaker 1: a jump. I would sprint out of the water. It 689 00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:22,160 Speaker 1: would be like those comics or those cartoons rather where 690 00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:24,920 Speaker 1: like the ghost of image of the person stays, but 691 00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,279 Speaker 1: then the person is just off screen already. It's like that. 692 00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:29,600 Speaker 1: That would be me getting out of the water, right. 693 00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:31,439 Speaker 1: I would do that thing where you run so fast 694 00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:33,800 Speaker 1: because you're scared that you run on top of the 695 00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:36,640 Speaker 1: water until you look down and you realize you're on water, 696 00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:38,520 Speaker 1: and then you got back into the water because you 697 00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:43,200 Speaker 1: remembered physics. Yeah, it's it's uh, you know, but so 698 00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:46,280 Speaker 1: so mantis shrimps, it's the whole big group of shrimp. 699 00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:49,440 Speaker 1: They there are many different species of mantis shrimp. They 700 00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:52,600 Speaker 1: can come in beautiful colors, like the peacock mantis, which 701 00:43:52,680 --> 00:44:00,520 Speaker 1: is absolutely divine. Boom oh wow wow right that is 702 00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:04,600 Speaker 1: so so yes, once again stunning from here. If I 703 00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:06,960 Speaker 1: saw it in person, I would leap. I wouldn't be 704 00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:08,800 Speaker 1: able to hold myself. I would not be able to 705 00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:10,759 Speaker 1: just like keep it in. I would definitely be out 706 00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:13,160 Speaker 1: of there super fast. But if someone who was bolder 707 00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:14,759 Speaker 1: than I was able to be like no, no, no, no, no, 708 00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:18,200 Speaker 1: it's okay, look and then lifted it and was able to, 709 00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:22,000 Speaker 1: you know, safely and properly show me this incredibly beautiful creature, 710 00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:23,759 Speaker 1: I would then be able to appreciate it. But I 711 00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:27,120 Speaker 1: know on first look I would it would be flight. 712 00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:30,160 Speaker 1: It would not be fight like an alien is about 713 00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:32,799 Speaker 1: to like crawl into your face holes and take over 714 00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:39,319 Speaker 1: your brain. That is um wow, that's wow, that's beautiful. Yeah. 715 00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:42,640 Speaker 1: So then but the ones that get really big, like 716 00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:46,200 Speaker 1: the larger species, tend to be less colorful, so like 717 00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:48,960 Speaker 1: they tend to be like gray or black and white. 718 00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:54,240 Speaker 1: Um so yeah, unfortunately there's not like the like huge 719 00:44:54,600 --> 00:45:00,080 Speaker 1: arm sized peacock mantis shrump. I guess I'm not or 720 00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:03,759 Speaker 1: why I'm saying unfortunately, but whatever. Uh So, there are 721 00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:08,040 Speaker 1: actually some more questions about mantis shrimps. So um. Someone 722 00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:15,400 Speaker 1: named Tomorrow asks I want to know everything there is 723 00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:20,680 Speaker 1: to know about mantis shrimps, and Rob Cunningham asks, Rob, 724 00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:25,279 Speaker 1: I read online that the mantis shrimp doesn't actually see 725 00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:27,480 Speaker 1: a bunch of different fancy colors because of the way 726 00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:31,440 Speaker 1: the brain's interpret color. Can you expand on that a bit? Please? Yes, 727 00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:36,000 Speaker 1: I can, thank you. So, mantis shrimp, like their name implies, 728 00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:41,239 Speaker 1: have mantis like blades for their fore limbs, called raptorials, 729 00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:44,880 Speaker 1: so they can attack and stab their prey. I mean 730 00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:50,080 Speaker 1: you play you've played um uh cyro punk some uh 731 00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:52,160 Speaker 1: and like you know you got you got the mantis 732 00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:55,399 Speaker 1: blades in that game where you got things on your arms, 733 00:45:56,719 --> 00:46:00,640 Speaker 1: right exactly, Manta shrimp have these things. It's pretty cool. 734 00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:04,400 Speaker 1: There are over four d fifty species of mantis shrimp, 735 00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:08,200 Speaker 1: all with different colors and slightly different methods of hunting. 736 00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:11,880 Speaker 1: Some use their fore limbs as clubs, so they have 737 00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:14,239 Speaker 1: sort of these beefy things that they used to just 738 00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:17,480 Speaker 1: like knock out their prey. And some use them like sides, 739 00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:22,840 Speaker 1: so like more like blades. Uh. So it is true 740 00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:26,840 Speaker 1: that they have what are probably the most complex eyes 741 00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:30,200 Speaker 1: of the animal kingdom. So they have eyes that move 742 00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:33,960 Speaker 1: independently of each other and have about fifteen types of 743 00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:38,600 Speaker 1: photoreceptor cells compared with three types of photo receptor cells 744 00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:42,560 Speaker 1: and human eyes. And so the original thought was, like, man, 745 00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:47,439 Speaker 1: these these shrimp must just see like an incredible psychedelic 746 00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:52,000 Speaker 1: rainbow of colors that humans simply cannot see. Um. But 747 00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:56,920 Speaker 1: just because the eyeball itself is very complex, it doesn't 748 00:46:56,960 --> 00:47:02,160 Speaker 1: mean they're experience of color or or vision is extremely complex, 749 00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:05,560 Speaker 1: because you know, the the bottleneck is going to happen 750 00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:09,480 Speaker 1: in their brains and how their brains process uh these colors. 751 00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:13,080 Speaker 1: So I don't know if this analogy quiet works, So 752 00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:16,680 Speaker 1: please computer people don't get too mad at me, But 753 00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:20,000 Speaker 1: imagine like a really good graphics card and like an 754 00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:23,200 Speaker 1: old computer, like you're still like you may have like 755 00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:28,880 Speaker 1: in the latest r t X five thousand, B seven 756 00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:34,640 Speaker 1: g t A b b q um. But if you 757 00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:37,960 Speaker 1: put that in like right, if you put that in 758 00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:41,560 Speaker 1: like an old computer, like, it's not necessarily going to 759 00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:46,600 Speaker 1: give you, you know, like spectacular graphics like you need. 760 00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:50,160 Speaker 1: You need a great GPO and a great CPU to 761 00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:54,440 Speaker 1: get to get those graphics, which is how I believe 762 00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:58,520 Speaker 1: computers to work. So yeah, that's yep, that's that's you 763 00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:03,360 Speaker 1: nailed it. That's it good, I did computers. So in 764 00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:07,319 Speaker 1: a similar way, the mantis eyes are limited by its 765 00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:11,680 Speaker 1: simple neural structures. So just because it has these amazing 766 00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:14,840 Speaker 1: eyes doesn't mean that the mantis is just enjoying a 767 00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:19,120 Speaker 1: smorgas board of color all the time. The reason the 768 00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:23,279 Speaker 1: mantis shrimp's eyes are so complex is not so it 769 00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:27,320 Speaker 1: can see a bunch of pretty colors, but for processing speed. 770 00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:31,160 Speaker 1: So the mantis is not really interested necessarily in having 771 00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:35,680 Speaker 1: a fun like visual experience. It's all about hunting and survival. 772 00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:40,160 Speaker 1: So when humans see something, we use I would say 773 00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:44,600 Speaker 1: relatively simple photoreceptor set up. I mean relatively is kind 774 00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:47,320 Speaker 1: of doing a lot of work here, because obviously the 775 00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:52,719 Speaker 1: human eye is incredibly complex. Um, but that information is 776 00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:57,440 Speaker 1: processed in our extremely powerful brains, So an extremely powerful 777 00:48:57,600 --> 00:49:03,560 Speaker 1: CPU which calculates the comparative levels of stimulation of our 778 00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:07,759 Speaker 1: three different photoreceptor cells. So basically were we have We 779 00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:11,120 Speaker 1: only have three photoreceptor cells, but we are calculating the 780 00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:15,279 Speaker 1: differentials in terms of their activation in our brains. That 781 00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:21,040 Speaker 1: paints an extremely clear picture of our environment. Um. So 782 00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:23,080 Speaker 1: you know, it's kind of like, well, like if you 783 00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:27,480 Speaker 1: have an HDTV there are only three colors of pickle 784 00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:30,759 Speaker 1: pixels on that TV, Like you have red, blue, and 785 00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:35,960 Speaker 1: green pixels. Uh, and you manage to get such complex 786 00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:39,279 Speaker 1: pictures of it because of the relative brightness of these 787 00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:43,239 Speaker 1: pixels that come together to form a very clear, complex 788 00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:47,240 Speaker 1: and sharp image. Similarly, we only have three photoreceptor cells 789 00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:50,520 Speaker 1: in our eyeballs, but we our brain calculates like the 790 00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:54,160 Speaker 1: different levels of activation of these and creates very clear pictures. 791 00:49:55,600 --> 00:50:00,600 Speaker 1: Mantis shrimp, meanwhile, is not really interested in creating a 792 00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:04,600 Speaker 1: super complex picture of its environment. It is optimized for 793 00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:10,120 Speaker 1: speed of recognizing an image, so instead of doing complex 794 00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:14,320 Speaker 1: processing in the brain, it can make immediate assessment of 795 00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:19,359 Speaker 1: color using its broader range of photosensory cells. So, uh, 796 00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:23,920 Speaker 1: it actually may perceive your colors than humans, but it 797 00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:28,200 Speaker 1: can react to them more quickly, which is like if 798 00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:30,880 Speaker 1: your whole thing is like hunting small fish and not 799 00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:34,320 Speaker 1: going to an art museum, being able to quickly respond 800 00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:38,680 Speaker 1: to colors and movement rather than like, you know, having 801 00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:42,279 Speaker 1: this experience of of you know, different colors is much 802 00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:44,680 Speaker 1: more important. So like there's a lot more kind of 803 00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:48,800 Speaker 1: localized processing in the eyeballs happening before it gets to 804 00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:51,200 Speaker 1: the brain, so that it's just gets this like very 805 00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:54,920 Speaker 1: quick boom response, uh, and knows that something is a 806 00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:58,120 Speaker 1: prey item and can snatch it with its creepy side 807 00:50:58,200 --> 00:51:02,920 Speaker 1: claws and ball. Yeah. So like that so like and 808 00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:05,480 Speaker 1: in terms of I think someone also asked, like how 809 00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:07,840 Speaker 1: did how did I feel like finding out like they 810 00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:10,520 Speaker 1: don't see all these colors, Like is it disappointing? I 811 00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:14,000 Speaker 1: don't think so. I think it's really interesting to see 812 00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:18,399 Speaker 1: sort of like how you can have such incredible complexity 813 00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:21,680 Speaker 1: in an eyeball and what that really means, like what 814 00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:25,759 Speaker 1: what that shrimp's experience is really like it it makes 815 00:51:25,840 --> 00:51:29,399 Speaker 1: us question our assumptions about like the purpose of things, 816 00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:31,799 Speaker 1: Like you see an incredibly complex eyeball, You're like, oh, 817 00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:34,800 Speaker 1: this thing must be seeing in like five dimensions. But 818 00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:37,479 Speaker 1: really it's just so that it can very quickly find 819 00:51:37,560 --> 00:51:40,560 Speaker 1: prey snatch it up. Um. But like if you show 820 00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:43,239 Speaker 1: it like a monet or something, it's not going to 821 00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:45,960 Speaker 1: know what what the heck you're doing, Like you know, Um, 822 00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:51,799 Speaker 1: it doesn't understand. It couldn't possibly. Yeah.

So this was sent in uh 835 00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:33,600 Speaker 1: by Andy uh and I think this was we had 836 00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:40,040 Speaker 1: talked about frogs and how they got tormented by birds sometimes. Um, 837 00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:45,920 Speaker 1: and so sent in a video uh and and so 838 00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:50,480 Speaker 1: here's the email, just saying I'm fairly sure ducks normally 839 00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:54,800 Speaker 1: torment frogs, making this an act of ultimate revenge. This 840 00:52:55,040 --> 00:52:58,320 Speaker 1: was sent from my dad's South African dentist, so I 841 00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:01,640 Speaker 1: added lyrics apollo geez, I was in a metal mood. 842 00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:09,879 Speaker 1: Never apologize for welcome. Don't you dare apologize for being 843 00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:13,040 Speaker 1: in a metal mood? Love, love, love your work, Katie 844 00:53:13,880 --> 00:53:17,640 Speaker 1: from Andy, thank you so much for this. Uh, and 845 00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:20,960 Speaker 1: I'll link to I think he's got a music website 846 00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:23,880 Speaker 1: that'll link to in the show notes. But so let me, 847 00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:27,359 Speaker 1: since this is an audio medium, let me describe what's 848 00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:29,400 Speaker 1: happening in the video, which I'll also link in the 849 00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:35,200 Speaker 1: show notes. Um, but there is a frog who's caught 850 00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:40,080 Speaker 1: a duck and its mouth, and then someone is trying 851 00:53:40,160 --> 00:53:45,560 Speaker 1: to rescue the duck from the frog. Uh and pulls 852 00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:48,400 Speaker 1: pulls the duck out of the frog. Actually, I'm wondering 853 00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:53,960 Speaker 1: if this is it's a fairly big frog. Um, so 854 00:53:55,040 --> 00:53:56,600 Speaker 1: I mean to get a duck stuck? I mean, like, 855 00:53:56,680 --> 00:53:58,880 Speaker 1: how small was the duck? Was it a duck link No, 856 00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:01,600 Speaker 1: it's like a norm most size. I'm actually not even 857 00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:04,440 Speaker 1: sure it's some kind of waterfowl. I'm not sure even 858 00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:06,840 Speaker 1: if it's a duck or if it's like a grebe 859 00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:13,920 Speaker 1: or but regardless, uh, it is pretty crazy what happens 860 00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:17,600 Speaker 1: in this In this video, the the person is able 861 00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:20,200 Speaker 1: to get the water bird out of the frog, so 862 00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:25,799 Speaker 1: the bird escapes, the frog is just left kind of disappointed. 863 00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:30,960 Speaker 1: Um so let me let me play this for you. Okay, 864 00:54:31,080 --> 00:54:34,360 Speaker 1: So here is the song that goes along with this 865 00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:37,840 Speaker 1: video of a frog trying to eat a duck or 866 00:54:37,920 --> 00:54:40,440 Speaker 1: I think it might be some other kind of waterfowl. 867 00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:42,560 Speaker 1: Oh my god, oh my god, look at that from 868 00:54:42,640 --> 00:55:19,520 Speaker 1: what the frog rock? Hell yeah, perfect, that's perfect. Love it. 869 00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:24,799 Speaker 1: I love it so much. That's so funny. It's so good. 870 00:55:25,239 --> 00:55:32,719 Speaker 1: Thank you so much. Andy. This is incredible, incredible, amazing. 871 00:55:33,400 --> 00:55:38,200 Speaker 1: The art high art, truly absolutely high. I love I 872 00:55:38,280 --> 00:55:40,680 Speaker 1: mean you know it. Give me a metal cover of 873 00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:45,160 Speaker 1: just about anything, Give me a metal cover of a 874 00:55:45,320 --> 00:55:48,480 Speaker 1: frog trying to eat a birden and that video was horrifying. 875 00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:51,279 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. That frog didn't even want to 876 00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:53,719 Speaker 1: let go. It seems like, no, no, what do you 877 00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:56,719 Speaker 1: think he was going to do? I mean, well, I 878 00:55:56,760 --> 00:55:59,839 Speaker 1: don't know, probably drowned the poor thing. Like yeah, that's 879 00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:03,960 Speaker 1: but you know, I mean birds do sometimes like I 880 00:56:04,080 --> 00:56:08,240 Speaker 1: think our ravens will sometimes like poke open frog stomachs 881 00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:10,879 Speaker 1: and just eat like their internal organs and then leave 882 00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:15,759 Speaker 1: them to explode later because they can't like when they 883 00:56:15,920 --> 00:56:18,920 Speaker 1: pull in a big breath of air, they just like 884 00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:21,279 Speaker 1: kind of pop open because there's a big hole in them. 885 00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:25,080 Speaker 1: Uh So, yeah, I guess turned around this fair play. Yeah, 886 00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:29,160 Speaker 1: I mean, I guess that's it goes. But I think 887 00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:31,080 Speaker 1: what we can all agree on is that it is 888 00:56:31,239 --> 00:56:35,759 Speaker 1: extremely metal and this song is great, so than on 889 00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:39,600 Speaker 1: that one.
