1 00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:10,160 Speaker 1: Welcome to Creature feature production of I Heart Radio. I'm 2 00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:14,120 Speaker 1: your host of Many Parasites, Katie Golden. I studied psychology 3 00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:18,520 Speaker 1: and evolutionary biology and hey, what did you call me? Today? 4 00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:21,560 Speaker 1: On the show, we're talking about ridiculous species names and 5 00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,960 Speaker 1: learning all about the animals behind them. Can you really 6 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:27,960 Speaker 1: judge a pig boat worm by its name or a 7 00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:32,360 Speaker 1: screaming hairy armadillo or a lump sucker fish? Who comes 8 00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:35,519 Speaker 1: up with these names? Anyways? Discover this and more as 9 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 1: we answer the angel question how do you like your 10 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:42,519 Speaker 1: Frida egg jellyfish stinger? Side up? Joining me today is 11 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:47,600 Speaker 1: our producer Joe L. Monique and entertainment journalist and scientist 12 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 1: KB Welcome. Thanks so much for having me. What what 13 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,520 Speaker 1: is your science background? Yeah, so my degrees are actually 14 00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 1: in biology and chemistry, and so my master's in biology 15 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: with the concentration on immunology. So after I finished my 16 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 1: master's UM, I taught UM at a university some biology courses, 17 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 1: and at the same time I was actually doing biobedical 18 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 1: research for like a biotech company, so doing all of 19 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 1: those things, and then I transitioned to healthcare from that 20 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 1: kind of a streamline. All while still doing entertainment because 21 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 1: it's always a juggle. How did you sort of like 22 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 1: go from the healthcare field to entertainment. When I was 23 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:32,039 Speaker 1: doing the research, it was more isolating, So for me, 24 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,759 Speaker 1: that just it didn't work out. Like I'm definitely more 25 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 1: of a people person, so, um, I ended up getting 26 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,479 Speaker 1: kind of a natural transition. Like the products that we 27 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: were working on at my biotech company were used in 28 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: cardiovascular surgeries. So I ended up having a hospital basically 29 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 1: like poached me and see if I wanted to work, 30 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 1: um just kind of on the healthcare side, doing more 31 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 1: like quality improvement work and process improvement. So I did 32 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: that for them, and um, I've just been doing that 33 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: ever since. So I actually still do a double juggle 34 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 1: in terms of having a day job and then doing entertainment. 35 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 1: Um just because like unfortunately I have not been at 36 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: a point and the entertainment side of things to be 37 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 1: able to you know, kind of work full time in 38 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 1: that space, um and transition completely. So yeah, so I 39 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: still do like consulting work in the health care. I'm 40 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 1: just I just no longer do like scientific research. But 41 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: I'm still Yeah, that's incredible. So today on the show, 42 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 1: I wanted to talk about. I mean, it's actually kind 43 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 1: of like what we're talking about, Like science sometimes seems 44 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: really stuffy, but it can be really funny and fun 45 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: and lighthearted. And you can tell just by the fun 46 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:47,920 Speaker 1: that scientists have naming animals. So uh, this idea was 47 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 1: actually from a listener from Grace non Sycamore on Instagram, 48 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 1: who says, can we learn about animals with silly names? 49 00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 1: For example the pig butt worm or spiny lumps Locker 50 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: and Grace Heck, yes, that's what we're doing today. That 51 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 1: is an amazing idea. Thank you so much. Yeah, if 52 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,639 Speaker 1: you guys also have ideas, and you can message me 53 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: at creature feature pot on Instagram, and I love those ideas. 54 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: You always come up with such good ideas, my wonderful listeners. 55 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 1: So today, Yes, silly names, ridiculous names. Why are animals 56 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 1: named these things? Is it just scientists being rude to 57 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:29,399 Speaker 1: the animals? Are these accurate names? So our first section 58 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 1: are names that sound like insults, and we're going to 59 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 1: start off with the pig butt or it is? I mean, okay, 60 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 1: you get you guys, explain what you're seeing here? What 61 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: what what are you guys looking at? I sent you 62 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: both an image of the pig butt worm. One. Uh, 63 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 1: this is an appropriate name, and I can't blame scientists. 64 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: They're not bad people. This is an accurate description of 65 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: I would never guess it's a worm. So okay, imagine 66 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 1: you only like blowing bubbles, but it's like big lead chew, 67 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: so it's kind of thin, but it's like meant to 68 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: be super stretchy. Now imagine you blew a bubble and 69 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,119 Speaker 1: your friend blue a bubble right next to each other, 70 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: and it kind of had a but inside. That's what 71 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 1: it looks like I've seen. So this looks really interesting 72 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 1: to me. I mean, I'm not gonna lie. It does 73 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: kind of remind me a little bit of like an embryo. Um. So, 74 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,839 Speaker 1: like when I'm looking at and I'm like, oh, okay, 75 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: because you know, obviously, like the outer parts are very 76 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: very translucent. Um, I do see that kind of indentation 77 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: that Joel just mentioned that kind of looks like something 78 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,039 Speaker 1: is going to come out of that butthole. But then 79 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:42,840 Speaker 1: in the center, you know, you kind of have this 80 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 1: pink mass, which I assume is just you know, the 81 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,040 Speaker 1: the actual worm I guess on the inside. Um, but 82 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 1: it does remind me of an embryo. I'm not it's 83 00:04:53,560 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 1: like an embryonic but yes. So this is also own 84 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: as the flying buttocks. Even its Latin name k opter 85 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 1: Us pug a pork kindness means captured worm that looks 86 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 1: like the rump of a pig, So even the fancy 87 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: scientific sounding word is a bit rude. This is a 88 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,840 Speaker 1: deep ocean dwelling worm about the size of a hazel 89 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: nut that looks like a disembodied but uh, and a balloon. 90 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,279 Speaker 1: It's like basically an inflated butt balloon. But it is 91 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: in fact a segmented worm. So what's going on is 92 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,479 Speaker 1: that one of their segments is inflated so large you 93 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: can barely see the other segments, but they're all kind 94 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,279 Speaker 1: of crammed in there. That's that sort of like pink 95 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,039 Speaker 1: stuff you see sort of at the front. It's just 96 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,840 Speaker 1: all the rest of its body all jumbled up right there. 97 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 1: But the inflated part of the worm, which is the 98 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 1: main part you can see, helps it float. But moreover, 99 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: it looks like a hini, looks like a rear end, 100 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:03,159 Speaker 1: looks a bit like a toshi. Oh sorry, I just 101 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 1: I had to google it, you know, because questions, and uh, 102 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: it's faces. What it picture? Oh my god, it's like Katie, 103 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 1: what is that like bear thing? But it's like microscopic. 104 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, the tartar grades, the water bears, watter bears. Yes, 105 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 1: it has a face like that thing. Oh it's so ugly. 106 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: It kind of looks like a Jim Henson muppet. It 107 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 1: looks like one of the oh yeah, the like the 108 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:41,039 Speaker 1: yipp aliens, except that it's eyes. And I hate to 109 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 1: get rude, but its eyes do look a little bit 110 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: like boobies, like a little bit like boobies. It's just 111 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: irises are nipular. They are nipular. Thank you. That's a 112 00:06:53,040 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: good word. That's an excellent word. So this strange animal 113 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 1: with boobies for eyes is found up to one thousand, 114 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 1: two hundred meters, which is about four thousand feet under 115 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: the sea, not quite at the sea floor, but in 116 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: the oxygen minimum zone. And they seem to have no 117 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: means of locomotion other than just being buoyant and passively drifting. 118 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 1: So they just float along collect food in their mouths, 119 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 1: and their mouths look a little bit like a butt 120 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: hole coming out of the butt. And they also dangle 121 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 1: a cloud of mucus out of their mouths to help 122 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 1: catch marine snow, and marine snow is this like you 123 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 1: know how in documentaries where you see the camera and 124 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 1: you see this like snow like stuff drifting in the ocean, 125 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 1: these little party it looks like dust in in a 126 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 1: beam of light, but it's underwater. That's marine snow, and 127 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 1: that's just little bits of organic to try this, it 128 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: can even be poop, like that's a big thing, is 129 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: fish poop. So indeed, this is a floating butt that 130 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 1: eats poop. There's never been a less attractive animal. No, no, no, 131 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 1: Now I beg to differ because let me tell you possums. 132 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: Opossums are like horrifying, So I don't know I can 133 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: at least tolerate this one. I do feel like that 134 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: Jim Henson Muppets reference is accurate, Like once you look 135 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 1: at the mouthpiece or what I'm assuming is a mouth piece, 136 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 1: When you look at the mouthpiece, I'm like, oh, that 137 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: definitely looks like a muppet. When I look into the 138 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: eyes of a possum, all I feel is terror do 139 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 1: look a little skexas like though dark crystal skeps, Like, gosh, 140 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 1: they're so I do like a possum. Also, you should 141 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 1: check out possums, which are the Australian version of the opossums. 142 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 1: North America's only more supial. But possums are actually in 143 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 1: Australia are absolutely adorable and it's fun to see. Like 144 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,439 Speaker 1: Australian's idea of what a possum is is probably very 145 00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 1: different from in the US. I do love a possum, 146 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 1: a u s possum. They're a little toilet toilet teddy bears. 147 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 1: There's no such things a toilet teddy where it's together. 148 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 1: They're a little they're cute, little little toilet mice scamber around, 149 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,680 Speaker 1: but they're they're great for the environment. They eat ticks. 150 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 1: They eat a bunch of ticks, which is great. They 151 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,720 Speaker 1: eat they're sort of the terminus for a lot of 152 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,200 Speaker 1: disease because they're resistant to a lot of diseases and 153 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: they eat eat a lot of ticks. So there. I 154 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,839 Speaker 1: know they look a little bit, you know, they look 155 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 1: a little bit like a sort of a a garbage squirrel, 156 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 1: but you know it's they're quite quite good animals. A 157 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 1: garbage squirrel. Yes, they do do a lot for the environment. However, 158 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 1: I never want to cross the path. One time, truly, 159 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 1: one knocked on my front door and I was stopping. 160 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 1: I'm so serious. It was late at night. I think 161 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: that it was honestly just trying to figure out like 162 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 1: what to get into. And I was just like, no, 163 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,199 Speaker 1: is it like, do you have a minute to talk 164 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 1: about possum? Jesus, do you have a minute to talk 165 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 1: about the ticks in your area? I'm not satisfied with this. 166 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 1: Introducing tick Hoover nine thousand. Uh, poor little possums.

So I love it when a name 173 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 1: of an animal is really accurate. These are lumpy fish 174 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 1: that have suckers.

But 184 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:20,200 Speaker 1: also it looks so sad, I comforted, like so like 185 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 1: just pouty, like on the verge of a breakdown, like 186 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 1: it needs a hug and noone is hugging this tiny face, 187 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 1: please help it. It kind of has the set the 188 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: same sad face that Et did, like when he arrived. 189 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,320 Speaker 1: It's like that same kind of demeanor, like a little 190 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 1: bit of a downturned pout, like a who. They are 191 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 1: a family of fish, so there are many different species. 192 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 1: They tend to be. They all tend to be very round. 193 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 1: They all have that sucker and they can that sucker 194 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,560 Speaker 1: is so strong they can like attach themselves to your 195 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 1: fingers and you can lift your hand and they'll just 196 00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,200 Speaker 1: dangle from your fingers. And there is a photo of 197 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 1: that which I've provided you guys, also including the show notes. 198 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: And there is a specific species called the Pacific spiny 199 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 1: lump sucker, which is an adorable little yellow fish that 200 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: only grows to be about one to three inches, which 201 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: is about the size of a grape or kumquat. And 202 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: they live in shore waters, attaching themselves to reefs, help patches, 203 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:28,439 Speaker 1: and even manmade docks. They live about five feet underwater, 204 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 1: so they're not like super super deep sea fish, but 205 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 1: you know they're they're under there, and like all lump suckers, 206 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 1: they are bad swimmers. They are not very good at swimming. 207 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 1: That's where you live. It's like they're like slaws and 208 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 1: panda bears. You're not supposed to exist. I just I 209 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 1: just imagined them like literally struggling for their lives and 210 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,199 Speaker 1: they're like I need something to land on, I need 211 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:57,200 Speaker 1: something to just stick to. Yeah, that's exactly what it is. 212 00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 1: And they like when they have to escape, it just 213 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 1: sort of pathetically bobble around trying to get away. They 214 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: can swim. It's just sad looking. It's it's bad swimming. 215 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 1: People have a lot of bodies, so it's like a 216 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,080 Speaker 1: it's like a muscle thing like on the muscles like 217 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: get through that. They don't have a lot of things 218 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:20,560 Speaker 1: like yeah, it seems like their bodies are mostly built 219 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 1: for attaching to things and not necessarily swimming, so they 220 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 1: kind of like stick onto things and hide themselves within 221 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 1: help or within rocks to defend themselves. And they don't 222 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 1: typically swim that much, so it's like a lot of 223 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:42,079 Speaker 1: energy conservation because you're not fighting the currents or anything. 224 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 1: You can just kind of attach yourself to a safe 225 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,839 Speaker 1: place and stay there. And they do hunt. They eat 226 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 1: small crustaceans and worms, but basically they hunt after stuff 227 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 1: that's pretty easy to get so like slow moving or 228 00:13:56,240 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 1: even completely stationary invertebrates. And when they do swim, it's 229 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 1: usually to spawn, so the most swimming they'll do in 230 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 1: their life is to get together and create some little babies. 231 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 1: And the males will do most of the parental care, 232 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,560 Speaker 1: so they'll spawn with the female. But the male will 233 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 1: attach itself with its little sucker near the eggs and 234 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 1: will defend them and use their fins to aerate the 235 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 1: water around the eggs to get them fresh oxygen. So 236 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 1: cute little bubble daddies. How progressive are they? The males 237 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 1: they're I mean, if they're defending their eggs, they're pretty aggressive. 238 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 1: They will they will nip at anything trying to approach. 239 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 1: I mean, they're not you know, they're they're quite small, 240 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 1: so they don't present a serious threat. But they will, 241 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 1: they'll do their they'll do their gosh darndists to be intimidating. Oh, 242 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 1: I was saying, how progressive they are. As progressive they 243 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 1: are exactly parental, parental, leave for men for fishmen for 244 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 1: a little, for a little.

The ones that are 265 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 1: on their sides are like very tiny, and so when 266 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 1: they move like we could, it's like a little bit 267 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 1: to the left, a little to the right. It looks 268 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 1: like they're giant heads are trying to guide them, but 269 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 1: they don't know what to do, and they hop they 270 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 1: attached to something.

Oh no, it's a 335 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 1: it's a vacuuming. I was like, I mean carpet shark. 336 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 1: I was like, I'm getting vacuum vibes. I mean, the 337 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 1: evergreen is so ever present. Like when Joel said that, 338 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 1: I'm like, yes, it looks so piny, like the sides 339 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:55,119 Speaker 1: of this animal just looks very piny. Like it's small 340 00:20:55,680 --> 00:21:01,200 Speaker 1: like trees, almost like a Douglas fur or nobody. Yes, yes, 341 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 1: so those eyes are terrified now. It does look even 342 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 1: though it looks like a Doofy Miyazaki character or a 343 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 1: muppet or like Beauty and the Beasts living carpet, it 344 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 1: is a fierce predator and it is an ambush predator, 345 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,480 Speaker 1: so all of that fringe is meant to help its 346 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 1: profile blend in with the sea floor, so like an 347 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,639 Speaker 1: unsuspecting fish will pass by and then suddenly this like 348 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 1: carpet matt comes to life and eats it on up. 349 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:37,200 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, what a slick predator. It's always the cute 350 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,639 Speaker 1: ones that are the most ferocious. I feel like I 351 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:42,919 Speaker 1: feel like, you know, it's always the unassuming ones that 352 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 1: are the most ferocious. And you know, this guy's like, 353 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:48,400 Speaker 1: oh I'm gonna get you. Just wait, yeah, naughty little carpet, 354 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 1: naughty little rug. It's like if the magic carpet and 355 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 1: the Laddin had like a big face and just ate 356 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 1: the monkey and was a terror behind the a booze back. 357 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 1: I mean, if I remember were incorrectly, they did fight 358 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 1: like the monkey and the carpet did fight a lot. 359 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 1: So I feel like if it had a mouth, it 360 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 1: would have eaten eaten that monkey right up. I mean 361 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 1: a boom was kind of a terror though, like he 362 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,639 Speaker 1: was kind of a jerk, so I get it. The 363 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,000 Speaker 1: carpet was like, leave me alone. I've been chilling, you 364 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 1: know in this cave for forever, is what it seems like. 365 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,120 Speaker 1: Let me live. I wish the remake had had the 366 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 1: carpet eat eat the monkey. That is what I'm saying. 367 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,400 Speaker 1: That's what that's the only bad part of the remake 368 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 1: is that they give the carpet teeth in a face 369 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 1: and have it eat that gosh dang monkey. Maybe they're 370 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 1: listening now, and we will do the sequel. They will 371 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 1: incorporate a carpet shark, or they will turn the carpet 372 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 1: into a carpet shark. And about a decade when they 373 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:49,160 Speaker 1: do the re remake of all these things, where maybe 374 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 1: they'll do like an animated remake of the live action 375 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:55,439 Speaker 1: remake of the animated version. Then just give the carpet 376 00:22:55,480 --> 00:23:01,880 Speaker 1: a face and I'll and I'll give you my my bucks. Disney, Disney, 377 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 1: are you listening, here's the new plan for give us this. 378 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 1: Here are some honorary mentions of names that sound like insults. 379 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 1: There's the penis snake, which is neither a snake nor 380 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 1: a penis, but a limbless amphibian that looks unfortunately phallic. 381 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 1: The c pig, which is a little pink c cucumber, 382 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,640 Speaker 1: which really only looks like a pig if you mean 383 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 1: an inflatable, faceless, tentacled pig. Then there's the bah Humbuggy, 384 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 1: a small land snail found in the Ba district and Fiji. 385 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 1: Apparently biologists are hopeless dad jokesters and couldn't resist naming 386 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 1: this newly discovered boss snail bah Humbuggy. When we return, 387 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,399 Speaker 1: will quit with the insults and brainstorm some names for 388 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 1: your band. Oh and they happen to be the names 389 00:23:51,080 --> 00:24:00,479 Speaker 1: of some real animals too, So in this action we're 390 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 1: going to talk about some incredible names. But this time 391 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 1: I think rather than insults, we sound like metal bands. 392 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:12,479 Speaker 1: So if you are an aspiring musician and you're looking 393 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 1: for a name for your metal band. I've got some 394 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 1: for you here, and the first one is the hellbender salamander. Really, Dad, 395 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,600 Speaker 1: that's wow. That was not a good metal impression. Do 396 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:32,200 Speaker 1: they do? Do do? Do? It's metal at the Renfair, 397 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:39,159 Speaker 1: Katie my metal band with my lute, just you know, 398 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 1: grinding on that lute. So. The hellbender salamander is a 399 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 1: giant salamander found in eastern and central United States. It 400 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 1: is the largest salamander in North America, living in freshwater 401 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,480 Speaker 1: streams and rivers, and it reaches up to about five pounds, 402 00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:01,119 Speaker 1: which is about two point three kill grounds, and up 403 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,360 Speaker 1: to two and a half feet which is about seventy 404 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:09,639 Speaker 1: centimeters in length. So it's the size of I don't know, 405 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:14,439 Speaker 1: a ferret, a small ferret. Yeah, it's not terribly large, 406 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 1: but it's big for a salavador. Yeah, it's not like 407 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 1: the giant Chinese salamander big, where it's basically the size 408 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:25,560 Speaker 1: of a toddler. But this, yeah, it's it's pretty big. 409 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 1: And the name hellbender seems to be from early settlers 410 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 1: who found the salamanders grayish brown skin which has these 411 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 1: skin flaps on the side that sort of undulate, and 412 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:43,199 Speaker 1: it's got the slimy body that it just undulates in 413 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 1: this really weird psychedelic way. And so they thought that 414 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:51,480 Speaker 1: this looked like the horrible tortures of the infernal regions, 415 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,920 Speaker 1: and that it is hell bent on returning to Hell, 416 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 1: which is a very like, very settler thing to be. Like, 417 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 1: this is a new thing for me. I bet it's 418 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,280 Speaker 1: a demon from Hell. I mean, honestly, it looks so 419 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:08,359 Speaker 1: kind that like being a demon from Hell is the 420 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 1: exact opposite of what I think. I mean, honestly, though, 421 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 1: it does just kind of look like a pile of mud. Yeah, 422 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 1: these are chill. They're chill like these settlers had, you know, 423 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:24,679 Speaker 1: they had issues, and they are harmless to humans. It 424 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:28,119 Speaker 1: is a carnivore. They eat small fish and crayfish, but 425 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 1: so do we exactly. And they breathe underwater through gas 426 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,800 Speaker 1: exchange on those skin folds, so that that undulating skin, 427 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 1: the kind of loose skin on its side, that's so 428 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:47,439 Speaker 1: it can breathe, So layoff, come on. Lungs, Yeah, it's so, 429 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:51,359 Speaker 1: it's like it actually has lungs and gill slits. But 430 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 1: it also basically sort of like other amphibians like frogs. 431 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:58,440 Speaker 1: It can breathe through its skin, so it does gas 432 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 1: exchange through its skin underwater. And actually, speaking of the 433 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,159 Speaker 1: whole issue of giltlets and lungs, so in its early 434 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 1: stage and its larvel stage, it actually has um these 435 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 1: sort of like external gill feathery gills um like an axelattle, 436 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 1: and axlattles are just a species of permanently immature salamanders. 437 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:25,639 Speaker 1: So have you guys seen an ax a lottle before? No, Okay, 438 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:29,320 Speaker 1: I got to spell it because that is ax my 439 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:34,199 Speaker 1: tom phonics education really holding me back. It's not an 440 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:38,720 Speaker 1: ax a little, it's an ax alttle. Oh my god. Yes, 441 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 1: I've seen this thing before. It definitely looks like a 442 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,919 Speaker 1: pokemon if you're at home trying to research it's a 443 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:49,359 Speaker 1: x O l O T L s H. It's got 444 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 1: pink spiny things on its head and blue eyes and 445 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,480 Speaker 1: like the legs, and I kind of wish it were 446 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,680 Speaker 1: like five feet I could like love it and hug 447 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 1: on it. Oh my god. People do actually keep these 448 00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 1: as pets because they're so cute. You can't really, I 449 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:05,960 Speaker 1: don't think it's a really good idea to handle it 450 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:09,400 Speaker 1: like a lot of amphibians, and you know their skin 451 00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 1: is sensitive, but yeah, they do. They are very very 452 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:16,280 Speaker 1: cool looking, very cute. I think they have rather sort 453 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,399 Speaker 1: of the opposite of the lump sucker. They have a 454 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:22,040 Speaker 1: perpetual little smile. I know, I'm saying they're are like 455 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 1: a lot of animated films, But what is the animated 456 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 1: film that looks almost exactly like this? I mean, the 457 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,879 Speaker 1: creature is like a lot larger. How to train your dragon? 458 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,640 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I feel like it is. Maybe I feel 459 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,440 Speaker 1: like they may have created that dragon based off this, 460 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:40,240 Speaker 1: because the same type of like ear structures and face 461 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:44,760 Speaker 1: shape and yeah, okay, basically acts altels look a lot 462 00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 1: like the immature stage of other salamander species, And normally 463 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 1: salamanders go through this larval stage where they look like 464 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 1: ax lattels, and it's the same as like frogs. So 465 00:28:56,400 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 1: frogs go through a larval stage where they're little tadpoles. 466 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,280 Speaker 1: Looks like it's got feathers coming out of the side 467 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,920 Speaker 1: of its head. Those are actually external gills that collect 468 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 1: oxygen from the water. And they do have little feet, 469 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,479 Speaker 1: little arms, and little legs and little tails that are 470 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,560 Speaker 1: kind of like um, look like a little there. They're 471 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 1: hind tail, looks a little bit like a fin, and 472 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 1: they're completely aquatic. And while normally salamanders like the hellbender 473 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:25,240 Speaker 1: salamander will actually grow to a mature stage where they 474 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 1: lose those external gills and they actually have lungs, but 475 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 1: they also have they can do gas exchange on their skin. 476 00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:38,080 Speaker 1: Axlttles just permanently stay in this larval juvenile stage. Um 477 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 1: their whole lives and um uh. If you actually inject 478 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,480 Speaker 1: an ax alttle with I think it's iodine, it will 479 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 1: turn into an adult morph of it, which it's its 480 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,640 Speaker 1: species will not. Yeah, it's species will not do that 481 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:56,520 Speaker 1: without human intervention, which is incredibly amazing. It's yeah, humans 482 00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,680 Speaker 1: don't screw this up for the ax alattles because honestly, 483 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,480 Speaker 1: to be enjoy your childhood and your youths forever, it 484 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:07,480 Speaker 1: is a trap. So stay young while you can. Don't 485 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,160 Speaker 1: let the humans turn you into an adult. They're sort 486 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:14,680 Speaker 1: of like vampires of of the salamander world a little bit. 487 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,600 Speaker 1: They do sometimes eat each other too. I forgot to 488 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 1: mention that horrifying. Listen, they went from so cute just 489 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:27,000 Speaker 1: so horrifying, and just seconds imagine watching one of these 490 00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:30,200 Speaker 1: like munch on another one of these, I mean, and 491 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 1: they have like cannibal morphs where it's like bigger ones 492 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,479 Speaker 1: that tend to eat their siblings more. But look, that 493 00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 1: happens in a lot of animals. I don't want to 494 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:41,720 Speaker 1: judge these just because they engage in some light cannibalism. 495 00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:47,680 Speaker 1: That's pretty common, so common amongst a lot of species exactly. 496 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:51,000 Speaker 1: But I will say, you know, just keep your youth 497 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 1: no matter what. They're here at Creature Future Pod, we 498 00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,800 Speaker 1: are anti cannibalism. They just want you to know. I 499 00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:02,400 Speaker 1: don't know what's happening today. Yourself, Joel, speak for yourself. 500 00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:09,920 Speaker 1: Protein is protein. Kidding, you're scaring me. I'm just kidding. 501 00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:15,080 Speaker 1: I'm just kidding. Our next animal, the screaming Harry armadillo 502 00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:21,120 Speaker 1: near near Lunar. I just love these like random riffs 503 00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 1: that you're doing. Yeah, yeah, the screaming Harry armadillo. Which God, please, somebody, 504 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,280 Speaker 1: if you have a band that you have not named yet, 505 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:35,600 Speaker 1: please name it this. I would love that this is 506 00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:39,880 Speaker 1: named a screaming Harry armadillo because it is an armadillo 507 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:44,040 Speaker 1: who screams and is Harry. You gotta love an accurate name. 508 00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:47,960 Speaker 1: You just I love it. So this armadillo is found 509 00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:52,080 Speaker 1: in South America. It looks a lot like a regular armadillo, 510 00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,480 Speaker 1: but it's got a lot of hair grown out of 511 00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,520 Speaker 1: its plate armor, a bunch of these long white hairs, 512 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:01,959 Speaker 1: and indeed screams so when it is handled, it squeals. 513 00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:06,440 Speaker 1: So here it is doing one of its famous screams. 514 00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:18,920 Speaker 1: So like it sounds kind of like a crying man 515 00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:23,120 Speaker 1: drake sound, I think, yes, And it's harry with like 516 00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:26,000 Speaker 1: a lot of like thready things like a man drake. 517 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 1: This is the inspiration. Yes, oh my gosh, look at 518 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:35,240 Speaker 1: these nails though in this kind of I mean truly, like, 519 00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:40,600 Speaker 1: can we get some nail clippers for this? It needs 520 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:44,080 Speaker 1: those because it loves to burrow, so it is, it 521 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:47,800 Speaker 1: is a burrowing animal. Those long hairs probably protect it 522 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:51,560 Speaker 1: from sand and other substrate because it actually lives in 523 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,960 Speaker 1: a variety of areas in South America, from dry forests 524 00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:58,120 Speaker 1: to grasslands to hot deserts. So it basically needs to 525 00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,160 Speaker 1: protect its botty and to be able to burrow. Throw 526 00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:04,600 Speaker 1: in these different kinds of substrates, and those long claws 527 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,400 Speaker 1: will help it dig into the sand or into the 528 00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,280 Speaker 1: dirt um and one of the things they love to 529 00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:15,200 Speaker 1: do is actually dig under rotting carryon so dead bodies 530 00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 1: and wait around. And it's like, why are they doing this? 531 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:21,200 Speaker 1: Are they just creepy and gothic. It's actually because they 532 00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:24,479 Speaker 1: are insectivores, and they will wait for the insects that 533 00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:28,240 Speaker 1: come to eat rotting carrion and then just like burst 534 00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:30,960 Speaker 1: up from the crown and eat these insects. And it's 535 00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:37,080 Speaker 1: that's definitely after this because then you can reenact on 536 00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:41,720 Speaker 1: stage like just a nerde dead bodies and beast on 537 00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,600 Speaker 1: the bugs underneath, and that is the start of your show. 538 00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:48,320 Speaker 1: This is very death metal black metal is I think, 539 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:52,160 Speaker 1: except it's really interesting that this armadillo's underbelly kind of 540 00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:54,680 Speaker 1: reminds me of that at the same like underbelly of 541 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,640 Speaker 1: the turkey, the way it's fashioned. It just has the 542 00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:01,080 Speaker 1: longer hairs around it. But yeah, yeah, it's I think 543 00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:05,640 Speaker 1: they're adorable. They're like really hairy, and they're kind of pudgy, 544 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:10,520 Speaker 1: and they've got that classic little triangle armadilla face and 545 00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,200 Speaker 1: little ears and then when you pick it up, it'll 546 00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:17,800 Speaker 1: it'll just like you, oh, you know what. It actually 547 00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:23,480 Speaker 1: sounds almost exactly like porges from Star Wars. Yes, you 548 00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:27,719 Speaker 1: know the pork alarm cry? Yes, so I guess they 549 00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,800 Speaker 1: stole it from Star Wars. Huh, do we know what 550 00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:33,880 Speaker 1: the dream is? Like? An alarm thing? Is it warning others? 551 00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:38,760 Speaker 1: It's actually not necessarily warning other armadillos because they aren't 552 00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:42,839 Speaker 1: very social. Most likely it is to startle the predator. 553 00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,120 Speaker 1: Or it's kind of like this car alarm system with 554 00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:48,279 Speaker 1: a lot of preyed upon animals where they do an 555 00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:52,319 Speaker 1: alarm call that will threaten the predator to get more 556 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,279 Speaker 1: predators to come. So they're like saying, I'm gonna put 557 00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:57,640 Speaker 1: up a fuss, and then other predators that are maybe 558 00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:59,439 Speaker 1: bigger than you is going to come over to see 559 00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:01,640 Speaker 1: what's going on. So it scares them off because they 560 00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:05,360 Speaker 1: a lot of predators are themselves prey to larger predators, 561 00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:09,040 Speaker 1: so they can be easily spooked by an alarm call 562 00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:12,520 Speaker 1: like that. And here I just thought that this armadillo 563 00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:16,600 Speaker 1: was mostly a scorpio and wanted to be left alone 564 00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,279 Speaker 1: and was doing the high pitched screens so that it 565 00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:24,000 Speaker 1: would be dropped and could continue on its way independently. Yeah, yeah, 566 00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:29,400 Speaker 1: it's a it's definitely a narc i would say, although, 567 00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:31,800 Speaker 1: although I feel like if you're about to get eaten, 568 00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:33,960 Speaker 1: I think that's the one time you get to be 569 00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:40,080 Speaker 1: an arc. So our next animal with a very metal 570 00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:52,600 Speaker 1: band sounding name is the scenarious mourner. So this is 571 00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:56,840 Speaker 1: a bird that lives in South America in tropical and 572 00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:01,680 Speaker 1: subtropical forests, and it's na ame sounds very metal, but 573 00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,440 Speaker 1: it's just kind of like a standard bird name, I guess. 574 00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:08,120 Speaker 1: So it the scenarious part, even though it sounds amazing, 575 00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:12,239 Speaker 1: it just means an ashy grayish color um sort of 576 00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:16,320 Speaker 1: an ashy gray brown, which is usually used to describe 577 00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:20,680 Speaker 1: bird plumage, So scenarious like kind of grayish brown bird plumage. 578 00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:25,960 Speaker 1: And then it's called mourner, probably for its sad sounding calls, 579 00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:28,600 Speaker 1: sort of like a mourning dove. It kind of does 580 00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:35,000 Speaker 1: a which I guess is uh, it's sad sounding, But 581 00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:38,919 Speaker 1: the really interesting part of this bird's life happens when 582 00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:43,880 Speaker 1: it's just a baby, so nestling. Scenarious mourners are not 583 00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:47,920 Speaker 1: a sort of ashy gray. They're actually bright orange with 584 00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:52,480 Speaker 1: long feathers covered in these white tips. And the reason 585 00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:55,200 Speaker 1: they look this way is they're actually meant to mimic 586 00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:59,840 Speaker 1: the look of this toxic hairy caterpillar of the flannel. 587 00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:03,720 Speaker 1: So this is the only known instance of a bird 588 00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:09,759 Speaker 1: mimicking and invertebrate to protect itself. So this bird is 589 00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:13,319 Speaker 1: so intriguing to me, like masking as a caterpillar. Yeah, 590 00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:15,440 Speaker 1: I think this is the only known instance of like 591 00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:20,120 Speaker 1: a bird mimicking and invertebrate and something that's you know, 592 00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,640 Speaker 1: a lot smaller than them. I mean, it's not necessarily 593 00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:27,919 Speaker 1: smaller than the nestlings though, because like these caterpillars are 594 00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:31,200 Speaker 1: quite big, a lot of their bulk is taken up 595 00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:34,640 Speaker 1: by their hair. So I just posted the picture. There's 596 00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:38,279 Speaker 1: this like it's this sort of yellowish orange caterpillar that 597 00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:42,000 Speaker 1: looks people say looks like Trump's hair. I actually think 598 00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:44,960 Speaker 1: it looks. It's a lot fuller, a lot more heresuit. 599 00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:50,160 Speaker 1: But the hairy caterpillar that this bird nestling imitates is 600 00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:53,520 Speaker 1: orange with sort of black hairs and white tips. It 601 00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:57,000 Speaker 1: looks very, very similar. And to step it up a notch, 602 00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:01,480 Speaker 1: the nestling will also mimic its movement by slowly moving 603 00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:05,520 Speaker 1: its head back and forth like it's caterpillar kind of 604 00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:08,879 Speaker 1: moving along. So there's actually a video of that. I'm 605 00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:11,160 Speaker 1: putting it in the show notes, but you guys can 606 00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:14,400 Speaker 1: take a look at that. Oh my gosh, the way 607 00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:18,520 Speaker 1: that it turns its head. Yeah, that's so strange. It 608 00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:22,240 Speaker 1: is of how in the second part of the video, 609 00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:26,160 Speaker 1: it's just the birdie getting food from its mom, and 610 00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:28,919 Speaker 1: so it's like goes from this very like slow moving 611 00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:31,200 Speaker 1: like I'm a caterpillar. I'm a caterpillar, and then it 612 00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:32,920 Speaker 1: like pokes its little head up and you see it's 613 00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:35,200 Speaker 1: a little bird face and he's like, oh food, and 614 00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:37,759 Speaker 1: it just turns back into a bird. When they're head 615 00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:40,480 Speaker 1: they're down. Can it see at all? I mean, I 616 00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:44,279 Speaker 1: can see the ground, but it's not really interested in 617 00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:47,160 Speaker 1: looking at the predator. Its main thing is it sees 618 00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:49,360 Speaker 1: a predator. It feels in danger somehow, and then it 619 00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:51,480 Speaker 1: just puts its head down and starts moving like a 620 00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:55,200 Speaker 1: caterpillar because it's a nestling, so it really doesn't have 621 00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:58,959 Speaker 1: means of escape. It can't run away, it can't fly away, 622 00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:03,000 Speaker 1: so looking like a toxic caterpillar is probably it's best bet. 623 00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:08,040 Speaker 1: And these caterpillars are not only toxic to eat, but 624 00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:12,080 Speaker 1: also they have venomous spines in all of that hair 625 00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:15,120 Speaker 1: that will sting you if you touch them, So like 626 00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:19,839 Speaker 1: if you see I would say, in general, a hairy caterpillar, 627 00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,200 Speaker 1: even though they look soft and like you could pet it, 628 00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:25,399 Speaker 1: they you don't want to do that because a lot 629 00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:30,600 Speaker 1: of them have irritating or even venomous spines. So yeah, 630 00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:34,000 Speaker 1: leave leave those fuzzy caterpillars alone. There are some species 631 00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:37,160 Speaker 1: of caterpillars that aren't too dangerous that you can pick up, 632 00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:39,480 Speaker 1: but I would air on the side of not touching 633 00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:42,120 Speaker 1: a fuzzy caterpillar unless you know what it is, but 634 00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:47,040 Speaker 1: definitely not these ones that are these orange, huge caterpillars 635 00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:50,040 Speaker 1: in South America, like for for reference, It's like, I 636 00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:52,279 Speaker 1: feel like one of these caterpillars could sort of like 637 00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:55,279 Speaker 1: take up the space of your hands, so you could 638 00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:57,680 Speaker 1: like hold it in your hand, but you shouldn't because 639 00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:01,840 Speaker 1: it'll sting you. It's sleep screaming. Look at these bright colors. 640 00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:04,920 Speaker 1: I'll kill you, Yes, kill you if you touch me, 641 00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:08,719 Speaker 1: making itself super appealing, like you don't I look attractive 642 00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:11,640 Speaker 1: with these great bright colors, And then it takes a 643 00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:15,520 Speaker 1: turn for the worst. Well, it's actually a case of 644 00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:19,920 Speaker 1: APIs semitism. Where to us humans. It may look very beautiful, 645 00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:24,399 Speaker 1: but these bright, exaggerated colors are sort of warning these 646 00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:27,640 Speaker 1: other animals, sort of like what tide pods are trying 647 00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:29,640 Speaker 1: to do with humans, where it's like this is hard, 648 00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:32,360 Speaker 1: like you don't want to eat it. It's right, bright orange, 649 00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:34,719 Speaker 1: bright orange, and fluffy. That's no good. It's kind of 650 00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:37,840 Speaker 1: the the I like to call it the gritty defense, 651 00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:45,520 Speaker 1: you know, the mascot gritty. It's like yes from the team, Yeah, yeah, yeah, 652 00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:49,560 Speaker 1: some something like that. I don't know hot bands, hockey, 653 00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:53,600 Speaker 1: I apologize hockey, but yeah, it's gritty and gritty. Of course, 654 00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:56,319 Speaker 1: as we know, if you try to tell they're gonna 655 00:40:56,400 --> 00:41:00,800 Speaker 1: kill us Philadelphia, please, I do love my bad. I 656 00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:04,120 Speaker 1: do love gritty. But if you do touch Gritty, he 657 00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:07,520 Speaker 1: does sting you with his venom, and he will also 658 00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:11,759 Speaker 1: consume you and eat you. Gritty's mouth is a good 659 00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:16,560 Speaker 1: example of the fish you're talking. Oh yes, shark, yeah, carfect, 660 00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:23,879 Speaker 1: the tasseled Woebegong. Yes, yes. I feel like if you crossbread, 661 00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:28,080 Speaker 1: the tasseled Woebegong and the scenarios Mourner, you would get 662 00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:32,560 Speaker 1: Gritty absolutely figured out. We've done it. We've figured out 663 00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:39,520 Speaker 1: how scientists genetically engineered the gritty. You're welcome, Philadelphia. I know, 664 00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:42,959 Speaker 1: I'm like, I need to look at gritty and see 665 00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:46,000 Speaker 1: what gritty looks like. We always need to look at gritty. 666 00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:52,520 Speaker 1: You can't not look at okay, yeah, also real Jim 667 00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:56,560 Speaker 1: Hinson esque, Yes, got it with a menacing aura. I 668 00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:59,560 Speaker 1: would say, like a muppet with a very menacing aura 669 00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:03,480 Speaker 1: and mean definitely carpet shark for sure. Yeah, yeah, for sure. 670 00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:08,000 Speaker 1: Just you know, flags Welcome back to our podcast, Gritty 671 00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:11,080 Speaker 1: Talk the Nitty. Oh eight. Damn it, I should have 672 00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:18,360 Speaker 1: said the nitty gritty. Here are some honorary mentions of 673 00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:22,680 Speaker 1: totally metal sounding animals. There's the ghost bat, a bat 674 00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:26,720 Speaker 1: who is well surprisingly corporeal. Then there's the goblin shark, 675 00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:29,520 Speaker 1: a shark who honestly looks too goofy to be scary, 676 00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:33,160 Speaker 1: with a long snout and wonky teeth. And finally, the 677 00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:37,120 Speaker 1: black ghost knife fish, which is a long eel like 678 00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:40,640 Speaker 1: fish that floats like a ghost and can actually produce 679 00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:44,160 Speaker 1: electric signals, which it uses to search for food and 680 00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:47,600 Speaker 1: to signal to mates. When we return, hold onto your 681 00:42:47,680 --> 00:43:00,400 Speaker 1: Cabusians were about to get Susian. Okay, so now I 682 00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:03,400 Speaker 1: want to talk about silly animal names that to me 683 00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:08,480 Speaker 1: sound like something that Dr Seuss came up with. I love. 684 00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:11,200 Speaker 1: I love the Doctor SEUs books when I was a kid. 685 00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:16,320 Speaker 1: I think any person who has an interest in evolutionary biology, 686 00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:18,800 Speaker 1: all of the creatures that Dr SEUs comes up with 687 00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:22,000 Speaker 1: and all the fake like biology facts about them, it 688 00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:24,600 Speaker 1: is so amazing and so fun. Like I remember there 689 00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:27,719 Speaker 1: was oh and I guess I don't remember the rhyme, 690 00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:30,680 Speaker 1: but it was this this animal that would like nip 691 00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:33,160 Speaker 1: its tail, but its tail was so long that it 692 00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:35,680 Speaker 1: took a long time for the nerves to reach the brain, 693 00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:37,680 Speaker 1: and then it would like nip it at night, and 694 00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:39,840 Speaker 1: then it would finally feel the nip in the morning 695 00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:43,440 Speaker 1: and it would wake up. Just incredible Dr Seuss logic. 696 00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:46,759 Speaker 1: Of course, neurons and nerves act very quickly, so this 697 00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:49,680 Speaker 1: would not be the case, but still I love that idea. 698 00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:53,760 Speaker 1: So our first Dr susie an animal is the fried 699 00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:58,000 Speaker 1: egg jellyfish. I bet you guys will never guess what 700 00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:04,000 Speaker 1: this is. Look like a fight eggs Yes, it's a 701 00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:07,759 Speaker 1: jellyfish that wait for it, it looks like a Friday egg. 702 00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:12,640 Speaker 1: Um Frida egg is not cute, but it is gorgeous 703 00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:14,759 Speaker 1: and I can't understand why. But something about like the 704 00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:18,760 Speaker 1: yellow sheen of the yolk and then like the whites 705 00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:22,520 Speaker 1: of it. Frida egg just looks pretty and it does. 706 00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:27,800 Speaker 1: Fish is no exception, is also pretty. Yeah, it's stunning. 707 00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:31,520 Speaker 1: Like the translucent part is really really gorgeous. Obviously, you know, 708 00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:35,200 Speaker 1: the translucent part at the top where the yellow kind 709 00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:37,279 Speaker 1: of center is looks great. But then of course you 710 00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:40,680 Speaker 1: have the translucent kind of tentacles that are happening at 711 00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:46,600 Speaker 1: the end. Um, it is really adorable. I mean yeah, 712 00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:50,000 Speaker 1: I actually share that that feeling of like eggs are 713 00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:53,760 Speaker 1: pretty to look at, like Friday eggs and raw eggs. 714 00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:56,360 Speaker 1: I'm not so sure about like hard boiled eggs unless 715 00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:58,640 Speaker 1: you do it like I used to not like hard 716 00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:01,000 Speaker 1: boiled eggs until I found out could do it. There's 717 00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:03,440 Speaker 1: a way to do it so that the yolk is 718 00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:06,920 Speaker 1: like not super hard. Um, so it's still kind of 719 00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:12,160 Speaker 1: like orange and gelatinous. And that I think, yes, yes, 720 00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:14,959 Speaker 1: that sort of that like the I think I feel 721 00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:18,400 Speaker 1: like the once the yolk turns yellow, no no thank you, 722 00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:22,000 Speaker 1: no thanks, not into it, but like the orange joke, 723 00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:25,840 Speaker 1: it's really good. Yes, I'm I'm I'm a huge snob 724 00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:32,200 Speaker 1: about it's just your preference. But I guess back to 725 00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:36,120 Speaker 1: jellyfish and not just me ranting about my egg preferences. 726 00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:39,480 Speaker 1: I mean it's relevant because this definitely just looks like 727 00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:42,680 Speaker 1: a Friday egg. It does, yeah, and like it has 728 00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:45,919 Speaker 1: a yellow colored center, the rest of its gelatinous body 729 00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:49,040 Speaker 1: is off white. And because it's a jellyfish and it 730 00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:53,120 Speaker 1: has this radial symmetry, it looks like a perfect Friday egg. 731 00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:57,279 Speaker 1: And there's a few like different species of jellyfish that 732 00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:01,359 Speaker 1: kind of look like fried eggs. Um, here's another one, 733 00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:04,279 Speaker 1: a photo of it on the beach, and it looks 734 00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:08,000 Speaker 1: indistinguishable from like someone just like dropped an egg, like 735 00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:09,960 Speaker 1: a raw egg on the beach. Like that's what I 736 00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:12,719 Speaker 1: would think walking vibe like this is a raw egg. 737 00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:15,960 Speaker 1: And then you know, if you poke it, probably it 738 00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:20,719 Speaker 1: also looks dramatically different outside of water. Yeah, I mean 739 00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:24,480 Speaker 1: part of that is probably because it's yeah, it's translucent 740 00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:27,720 Speaker 1: to the sand is Yeah, it's taking on the sands 741 00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:31,000 Speaker 1: actual components. But a lot of it too is just 742 00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:36,000 Speaker 1: they're so fascinating. I wonder though, like what are there, like, 743 00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:39,520 Speaker 1: what's the purpose of this jellyfish, you know, this fried 744 00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:43,600 Speaker 1: egg jellyfish. I mean, I can't. I couldn't really find 745 00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:47,120 Speaker 1: like a reason for why it's yellow on the inside. 746 00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:51,400 Speaker 1: The closest I could find is just their coloration seems 747 00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:54,800 Speaker 1: to depend on their diet um. So I would assume 748 00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:58,040 Speaker 1: the food that it's eating is giving it this pigment. 749 00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:02,080 Speaker 1: And to understand sort of like why jellyfish looks this way, 750 00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:06,040 Speaker 1: we could learn a little bit about jellyfish anatomy because 751 00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:09,320 Speaker 1: it is very weird. So this is this is just 752 00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:13,880 Speaker 1: sort of a basic rundown of most jellyfish in their anatomy. Uh, 753 00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:16,839 Speaker 1: jellyfish may not seem like an animal, but they are. 754 00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:19,840 Speaker 1: They do not have a centralized nervous system or a 755 00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:24,320 Speaker 1: respiratory system. They breathe through gas exchange all over their body, 756 00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:29,040 Speaker 1: but they do have some organs I think that are surprising. 757 00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:32,440 Speaker 1: So first of all, the main part of the jellyfish, 758 00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:34,439 Speaker 1: the part that kind of looks like a mushroom cap, 759 00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:37,239 Speaker 1: is called the bell or hood, which is sort of 760 00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:40,920 Speaker 1: a that that membrane is sort of like dome shape. 761 00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:45,759 Speaker 1: They actually do have eye spots, so they I think 762 00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:48,319 Speaker 1: this is something that you know, a lot of people 763 00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:51,200 Speaker 1: may not know about jellyfish. They have eyes. A lot 764 00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:54,279 Speaker 1: of jellyfish have these very rudimentary eye spots that can 765 00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:58,239 Speaker 1: just tell light from dark. But some jellyfish, like the 766 00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:03,200 Speaker 1: box jellyfish, have any four eyes arranged radially around the jellyfish, 767 00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:06,400 Speaker 1: so they have three hundred sixty degree vision and they 768 00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:09,040 Speaker 1: can see some color and they wink at you. Though 769 00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:13,560 Speaker 1: they can wink wink win quin quick quick wink at you. 770 00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:17,720 Speaker 1: I don't believe they have eyelids. They do not have isolids. 771 00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:21,600 Speaker 1: They also probably their site is pretty rough. I would 772 00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:26,080 Speaker 1: imagine it's just seeing sort of rough light and dark 773 00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:30,160 Speaker 1: and sort of blobby color shapes. Someone make a twenty 774 00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:33,680 Speaker 1: four lens glasses so that they can see better. Under 775 00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:37,440 Speaker 1: the law is yes, twenty four eyes. Though they'll be 776 00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:47,600 Speaker 1: called by others, Oh no, not horribully jellyfish. And along 777 00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:51,440 Speaker 1: the rim of the bell often jellyfish have tentacles that 778 00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:55,960 Speaker 1: can sting and stun their prey. They also like inside 779 00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:58,520 Speaker 1: so that outer rim of these sort of thinner tentacles 780 00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:01,440 Speaker 1: on the inside, these more bull key looking things are 781 00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:05,560 Speaker 1: called oral arms. And these are these arms that can 782 00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:09,000 Speaker 1: pull food into their mouths and they also have stinging 783 00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:13,160 Speaker 1: cells often on these these parts, and in the center 784 00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:16,840 Speaker 1: of the jellyfish is a mouth and a stomach pouch. 785 00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:23,000 Speaker 1: And again these these are completely radially symmetrical, so they 786 00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:26,040 Speaker 1: have radial gonads and so you know, like on the 787 00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:30,040 Speaker 1: top of jellyfish often, especially like moon jellies and other 788 00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:32,279 Speaker 1: sort of translucent jellyfish, you see the sort of like 789 00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:35,600 Speaker 1: almost floral design. It looks like a little flour on 790 00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:38,960 Speaker 1: the top of the jellyfish. That is actually it's go 791 00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:45,799 Speaker 1: nuts because they are radially um symmetrical um and jellyfish 792 00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:50,480 Speaker 1: can do sexual and asexual reproduction. So adult jellyfish, which 793 00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:53,880 Speaker 1: are called medusa, can release sperm and eggs into the 794 00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:59,080 Speaker 1: water for sexual reproduction, and baby jellyfish, which are called polyps, 795 00:49:59,239 --> 00:50:03,200 Speaker 1: can actually re produce a sexually through butting, which is cloning, 796 00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:06,879 Speaker 1: so basically like like growing a smaller another polyp off 797 00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:11,640 Speaker 1: of them. So really really interesting creatures, these jellyfish. So 798 00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:15,839 Speaker 1: with this fried egg jellyfish, it seems like it's bell 799 00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:19,800 Speaker 1: part is sort of this off white translucent color and 800 00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:23,719 Speaker 1: the inside so it's like it's um stomach and its 801 00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:26,080 Speaker 1: mouth parts and it's gonads and all that stuff on 802 00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:29,560 Speaker 1: the inside is this yellowish color, and my guests would 803 00:50:29,600 --> 00:50:34,320 Speaker 1: be it's because of its diet, having some it's getting 804 00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:36,839 Speaker 1: some sort of yellow coloration from its diet. So it's 805 00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:42,080 Speaker 1: really interesting and delicious looking. Kind of want to fry 806 00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:45,360 Speaker 1: one up. I know it wouldn't be good. I understand. 807 00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:47,879 Speaker 1: I understand it wouldn't be good. It wouldn't taste good, 808 00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:53,480 Speaker 1: it would probably hurt me. Um, I I still want it. 809 00:50:53,600 --> 00:51:00,640 Speaker 1: They're out. Yeah. Yeah, it's like things that that look 810 00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:03,960 Speaker 1: edible that are not going to be edible, but they 811 00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:07,920 Speaker 1: just you know what I mean. It's like, ah, it's 812 00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:13,480 Speaker 1: like tide pods to the pods, always the tide which 813 00:51:13,480 --> 00:51:17,320 Speaker 1: are literally the products we have right now. Yeah, or 814 00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:21,120 Speaker 1: like fabuloso. It's so delicious, looks like I could just 815 00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:25,200 Speaker 1: drink it up. Why do they make they make cleansing 816 00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:30,520 Speaker 1: products look so refreshingly good. It's like it's febinosa, actually 817 00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:36,200 Speaker 1: fresco with a twist. You know, you'll never know. So 818 00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:39,680 Speaker 1: another gorgeous creature. I'm really just now realizing a lot 819 00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:42,640 Speaker 1: of these are marine animals, and I guess we just 820 00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:45,720 Speaker 1: some of the best names we reserve for marine animals. 821 00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:50,239 Speaker 1: But this is the red lipped batfish, which again sounds 822 00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:53,200 Speaker 1: very Dr. Sussian.

I 833 00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:37,320 Speaker 1: feel like they took the fancy red that's supposed to 834 00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:40,200 Speaker 1: match everybody and we're like, yes, this is my color. 835 00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:44,560 Speaker 1: I've discovered it. The white mustache is very relatable usally 836 00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:49,040 Speaker 1: you mustache, but it's not going anywhere unless you wax it.

Uh, it is not black in color. 839 00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:03,640 Speaker 1: It does not have like bad ears. Where why a 840 00:53:03,719 --> 00:53:06,239 Speaker 1: bad fish? I don't know. It's bone structured, is kind 841 00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:08,359 Speaker 1: of similar to a bat, like, even though it doesn't 842 00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:10,160 Speaker 1: have the wings. If you're looking at the bone like, 843 00:53:10,239 --> 00:53:12,719 Speaker 1: look at the legs and the things. Those are very 844 00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:15,480 Speaker 1: bad like to me, I think if you look at 845 00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:19,000 Speaker 1: it like aerially, maybe it looks a little more. I 846 00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:21,480 Speaker 1: actually agree. I don't think it looks too much like 847 00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:24,320 Speaker 1: a bat. To me, it looks more like a weird 848 00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:29,719 Speaker 1: kite with legs. Oh my goodness, I'll show you a 849 00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:32,759 Speaker 1: diagram of what its top sort of looks like. I 850 00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:37,160 Speaker 1: actually love this diagram because the red lips are lovingly rendered. 851 00:53:38,239 --> 00:53:40,400 Speaker 1: It actually looks a little bit like a manta ray, 852 00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:43,680 Speaker 1: but with legs when you look at it aerially. But 853 00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:45,680 Speaker 1: when you look at its front, it's just sort of 854 00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:50,000 Speaker 1: this weird triangle shape with angry little eyes in the 855 00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:54,080 Speaker 1: middle and uh kind of big nose and then just 856 00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:59,440 Speaker 1: the most kissable maybe line list just this amazing pout, 857 00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:04,360 Speaker 1: a powdered limping. What's under these lips I mean are perfect? 858 00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:06,799 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, you probably don't want to go too 859 00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:10,839 Speaker 1: far underneath joel Um, you might find focus on the legs. 860 00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:14,160 Speaker 1: Just focus right here in this bold lip. It's a 861 00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:16,800 Speaker 1: bold lip, but I do like it. I'm still getting 862 00:54:16,840 --> 00:54:20,600 Speaker 1: those that, like the legs still remind me of a bat. 863 00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:23,879 Speaker 1: I mean, like I still feel like that in terms 864 00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:25,759 Speaker 1: of but that's the only thing. I mean that base 865 00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:29,160 Speaker 1: is one present squirrel like look at the nose, look 866 00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:31,880 Speaker 1: at the eye placement, like a squirrel that did A 867 00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:36,600 Speaker 1: did A got your lipstick for a gift card. But 868 00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:41,160 Speaker 1: those limbs, those limbs are actually modified fins that have 869 00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:45,680 Speaker 1: become these limb like appendages. And it's actually lost most 870 00:54:45,760 --> 00:54:49,240 Speaker 1: of its ability to swim in favor of walking along 871 00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:52,239 Speaker 1: the ocean floor. So it just kind of like skitters 872 00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:57,680 Speaker 1: across the ocean floor looking for small fish. And it 873 00:54:57,880 --> 00:55:03,920 Speaker 1: has this modif fied fin on its forehead called an elysium, 874 00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:07,680 Speaker 1: which is similar to an anglerfish that is used as 875 00:55:07,719 --> 00:55:10,080 Speaker 1: a lure for small fish. And it also has a 876 00:55:10,160 --> 00:55:14,480 Speaker 1: bioluminescent bulb on it. And it grows to be it's 877 00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:17,520 Speaker 1: not actually that big. It grows to be um, although 878 00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:20,520 Speaker 1: I guess it's surprisingly large when I think about how 879 00:55:20,600 --> 00:55:22,520 Speaker 1: goofy it looks. But it grows to be a little 880 00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:26,320 Speaker 1: over a foot in length, so forty centimeters um. And 881 00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:30,840 Speaker 1: it's those huge pouty lips, which I think are just 882 00:55:31,120 --> 00:55:36,800 Speaker 1: I'm honestly, jealous are used to attract mates during spawning, 883 00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:41,000 Speaker 1: So yeah, they the sexy red lips are in fact 884 00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:45,040 Speaker 1: meant to look sexy. That's right there, what they where's 885 00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:50,560 Speaker 1: my partner? Essentially there to lure lure their partners on open. 886 00:55:51,239 --> 00:55:53,200 Speaker 1: I don't know if this color would work on me. 887 00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:58,320 Speaker 1: Maybe I think it would look lovely. You're very sweet. 888 00:55:58,360 --> 00:56:01,360 Speaker 1: I'm wondering, though, like has you know, I feel like 889 00:56:01,520 --> 00:56:05,040 Speaker 1: maybe it's got it's got too much of an orangy undertone, 890 00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:09,200 Speaker 1: and like I need more of a Barry undertone. But honestly, 891 00:56:09,239 --> 00:56:11,520 Speaker 1: it could just be the lighting. It could just be 892 00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:16,320 Speaker 1: the lighting. That's true. Well, if I could borrow borrow 893 00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:18,680 Speaker 1: their lipstick, did you ever do that? Like? As kids 894 00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:21,760 Speaker 1: are so gross though, just like sharing makeup with your friends. 895 00:56:22,600 --> 00:56:25,279 Speaker 1: Now I think about it, I'm so disgusted, but you know, 896 00:56:25,560 --> 00:56:27,800 Speaker 1: you just try it.

Bring your own door knobs, Bring your own 908 00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:11,360 Speaker 1: door knobs. Children in plastics, yeah, just in bubble wraps 909 00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:14,959 Speaker 1: to protect them from every direction, and so they won't 910 00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:17,680 Speaker 1: touch anything, they won't share anything.

Bubble Boy for real, in real life, we're 913 00:57:25,120 --> 00:57:29,280 Speaker 1: headed that way. We are in a world well in 914 00:57:29,400 --> 00:57:32,200 Speaker 1: other news, there is a there is an animal called 915 00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:36,040 Speaker 1: the proboscus monkey, and this is one of my favorite 916 00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:41,440 Speaker 1: monkeys in the world. They are amazing, lovely. They sound 917 00:57:41,720 --> 00:57:44,240 Speaker 1: like a Doctor Who's character, and they look like a 918 00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:49,720 Speaker 1: Doctor Seu's character, and I think they're absolutely gorgeous. Proboscus 919 00:57:49,800 --> 00:57:53,400 Speaker 1: monkeys have a big nose, and it's actually seems a 920 00:57:53,440 --> 00:57:55,760 Speaker 1: little bit rude to be like, oh, you you have 921 00:57:55,840 --> 00:57:58,600 Speaker 1: a big nose, Well, we're going to call you proboscis monkey. 922 00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:01,880 Speaker 1: It's like, okay, thanks. I guess, I mean, you know, 923 00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:07,400 Speaker 1: it's nice of you. I suppose just set rude rude scientists. 924 00:58:07,880 --> 00:58:12,720 Speaker 1: So these are found in mangrove forests in Borneo, and 925 00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:17,160 Speaker 1: they actually live in the similar areas to where orangatans live, 926 00:58:17,200 --> 00:58:21,320 Speaker 1: and they co exist relatively without incident. So males grow 927 00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:23,600 Speaker 1: to be about two and a half feet long, not 928 00:58:23,800 --> 00:58:27,520 Speaker 1: including the tail, which is about seventy five and up 929 00:58:27,600 --> 00:58:31,920 Speaker 1: to fifty pounds, which is about so a little smaller 930 00:58:32,080 --> 00:58:36,840 Speaker 1: than like a laboratory retriever. And females are about half 931 00:58:36,920 --> 00:58:40,640 Speaker 1: their weight and a little shorter. And males are the 932 00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:44,000 Speaker 1: only ones that have those huge proboscis is. So those 933 00:58:44,080 --> 00:58:47,720 Speaker 1: big noses that look like a cartoon character. They look 934 00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:50,240 Speaker 1: like it looks like a cartoon knows that you drew 935 00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:52,600 Speaker 1: on them like as a child, like you know, the 936 00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:56,000 Speaker 1: the old like World War two drawing. What's it called? 937 00:58:56,040 --> 00:58:58,640 Speaker 1: Like Kilroy was here, do you guys know what I'm 938 00:58:58,680 --> 00:59:01,760 Speaker 1: talking about? There was like but it does look like 939 00:59:01,840 --> 00:59:06,800 Speaker 1: a caricature, like an exaggerated character. It looks like ziggy cartoons. 940 00:59:07,120 --> 00:59:08,920 Speaker 1: Oh that thing A lot of guys got a tattoo 941 00:59:09,040 --> 00:59:11,880 Speaker 1: of in the nineties. Oh, I mean, yeah, I don't 942 00:59:11,880 --> 00:59:14,240 Speaker 1: know what that is. I feel like there's a lot 943 00:59:14,280 --> 00:59:17,440 Speaker 1: of a lot of cartoons that have that, just like 944 00:59:17,560 --> 00:59:22,560 Speaker 1: this knows profile, but yeah, like like Ziggy. Remember Ziggy 945 00:59:22,720 --> 00:59:24,760 Speaker 1: for those of you guys if you don't know. He's 946 00:59:24,840 --> 00:59:29,200 Speaker 1: like flesh colored but he like has no torso it's 947 00:59:29,200 --> 00:59:31,200 Speaker 1: just like his legs in a giant head and then 948 00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:35,320 Speaker 1: he wears a big shirt and no pants and no pants. Right, Yeah, 949 00:59:35,600 --> 00:59:39,320 Speaker 1: I mostly know Ziggy from the Seinfeld episode where Elaine 950 00:59:39,360 --> 00:59:43,439 Speaker 1: accidentally played giarizes a Ziggy cartoon, which I thought was great. 951 00:59:44,160 --> 00:59:48,440 Speaker 1: But yeah, Ziggy cartoons were basically like Ziggy sadly looking 952 00:59:48,480 --> 00:59:51,280 Speaker 1: at something and being like, well, my life isn't great, 953 00:59:53,760 --> 00:59:57,080 Speaker 1: Ziggy off, that's really sad. I don't know anything about 954 00:59:57,120 --> 01:00:00,120 Speaker 1: this character. I don't either, but I do think so. 955 01:00:00,320 --> 01:00:04,760 Speaker 1: I looked at like the photos that the National Geographic 956 01:00:04,880 --> 01:00:10,240 Speaker 1: took of these monkeys, and they're like the most stunning portraits. 957 01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:16,120 Speaker 1: I'm like, wow, I think they're beautiful, Like I understand, like, oh, 958 01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:19,120 Speaker 1: it's it's funny they have they have these cartoonish noses, 959 01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:22,480 Speaker 1: but I think they are actually stunning animals because they 960 01:00:22,560 --> 01:00:25,160 Speaker 1: have this orange fur on their backs and tops of 961 01:00:25,240 --> 01:00:29,080 Speaker 1: their heads, lighter fur on their bellies, and they have 962 01:00:29,160 --> 01:00:32,000 Speaker 1: these kind of like round pop bellies. They have grayish 963 01:00:32,120 --> 01:00:35,840 Speaker 1: limbs and a long gray tail, sort of long face, 964 01:00:36,360 --> 01:00:40,160 Speaker 1: and their faces are wreathed in this really neatly koifed fur, 965 01:00:40,560 --> 01:00:43,120 Speaker 1: and they also have this like band of fur around 966 01:00:43,160 --> 01:00:45,760 Speaker 1: their neck and shoulders. It's very neat. It looks like 967 01:00:45,840 --> 01:00:49,000 Speaker 1: they like they have a haircut like a like a 968 01:00:49,160 --> 01:00:52,280 Speaker 1: groomed dog or something where it looks very like Regal, 969 01:00:52,480 --> 01:00:55,680 Speaker 1: almost like it looks like very like European Regal. Their 970 01:00:55,800 --> 01:01:01,400 Speaker 1: fur looks incredibly soft, and they just look so well taken. Kira, 971 01:01:01,680 --> 01:01:03,640 Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know another way to say it, 972 01:01:03,760 --> 01:01:07,600 Speaker 1: but they just looking together. Self care is important, um 973 01:01:09,280 --> 01:01:11,440 Speaker 1: right on the head when you were like Regal, Yes, 974 01:01:12,040 --> 01:01:17,920 Speaker 1: I feel like Star Wars Wishes, Star Wars and Alien 975 01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:22,360 Speaker 1: look exactly exactly. And females, even though they don't have 976 01:01:22,640 --> 01:01:26,000 Speaker 1: the characteristic big nose, they do have a quite interesting 977 01:01:26,120 --> 01:01:29,080 Speaker 1: little sort of upturned I think it's very cute little 978 01:01:29,160 --> 01:01:32,520 Speaker 1: upturned nose. And they are a bit smaller than the males, 979 01:01:32,560 --> 01:01:35,440 Speaker 1: but they also have this very wise looking face like 980 01:01:35,600 --> 01:01:39,840 Speaker 1: they contain multitudes, and they are also very very beautiful there. 981 01:01:39,880 --> 01:01:44,240 Speaker 1: For this auburn color at the top is really really beautiful. 982 01:01:44,640 --> 01:01:46,760 Speaker 1: I wish I had that, you know, like I have 983 01:01:47,080 --> 01:01:51,960 Speaker 1: sort of reddish hair. I wish you know, I want 984 01:01:52,040 --> 01:01:57,919 Speaker 1: what she has. So I'll take the number whatever that is. Yeah, 985 01:01:58,400 --> 01:02:00,840 Speaker 1: And males have a lot to offer for females. Not 986 01:02:01,160 --> 01:02:04,560 Speaker 1: so they're big noses are very attractive to the females 987 01:02:04,640 --> 01:02:08,240 Speaker 1: because they allow males to produce very loud mating calls. 988 01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:11,240 Speaker 1: So they are these resonant chambers. They can produce these 989 01:02:11,320 --> 01:02:14,800 Speaker 1: loud mating calls. They also have you know, I'm gonna 990 01:02:14,840 --> 01:02:17,680 Speaker 1: get get a little bit crude, but this is you know, 991 01:02:17,800 --> 01:02:19,800 Speaker 1: this is just truth. This is just like they have 992 01:02:20,120 --> 01:02:23,600 Speaker 1: bright red penises and a black scrotum, which is very 993 01:02:23,640 --> 01:02:29,840 Speaker 1: attractive to the females. You know. Look, they're like they're 994 01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:34,360 Speaker 1: jasmine up and they're actually relatively mellow monkeys. So they 995 01:02:34,520 --> 01:02:37,760 Speaker 1: will live in groups that typically have a dominant male 996 01:02:38,240 --> 01:02:41,840 Speaker 1: and a bunch of females and that sometimes like comes 997 01:02:41,840 --> 01:02:44,120 Speaker 1: across as like oh, well, you know, this is unfair 998 01:02:44,160 --> 01:02:47,560 Speaker 1: to the females. But basically, like the dominant male kind 999 01:02:47,560 --> 01:02:51,200 Speaker 1: of switches out sometimes and like membership and these groups 1000 01:02:51,240 --> 01:02:53,840 Speaker 1: sort of like switches, and the females kind of have 1001 01:02:54,080 --> 01:02:59,560 Speaker 1: a hierarchy um and often sort of determine dynamics about 1002 01:02:59,640 --> 01:03:03,520 Speaker 1: the group. H And also these groups are not very violent, 1003 01:03:03,640 --> 01:03:07,160 Speaker 1: so they're not a lot of infighting, although there's some 1004 01:03:07,360 --> 01:03:11,000 Speaker 1: sort of like dominance competition amongst females and they're but 1005 01:03:11,080 --> 01:03:13,920 Speaker 1: they're also not violent towards other groups, and they coexist 1006 01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:17,440 Speaker 1: with other groups, like sometimes they'll share sleeping areas and 1007 01:03:17,640 --> 01:03:20,600 Speaker 1: water holes and just kind of like they're very chill 1008 01:03:20,680 --> 01:03:25,200 Speaker 1: and mellow. There's not that much aggressive competition. There's like, 1009 01:03:25,320 --> 01:03:27,920 Speaker 1: of course a little bit some conflict, but it's just 1010 01:03:28,040 --> 01:03:31,960 Speaker 1: they're really pretty mellow, which is really cool. There are 1011 01:03:31,960 --> 01:03:34,920 Speaker 1: a lot of monkeys and primates that are a little 1012 01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:39,560 Speaker 1: more on edge, like baboon troops are quite can be 1013 01:03:39,680 --> 01:03:43,720 Speaker 1: quite aggressive. Chimpanzees can be quite aggressive. But uh, yeah, 1014 01:03:43,760 --> 01:03:48,520 Speaker 1: these guys are chill, they're mellow. They just eat fruits 1015 01:03:48,560 --> 01:03:52,600 Speaker 1: and leaves. They are fantastic swimmers. They love to leap 1016 01:03:52,720 --> 01:03:55,960 Speaker 1: into water and belly flop and they have these web 1017 01:03:56,040 --> 01:03:58,600 Speaker 1: toes that help them swim. They're just kind of like 1018 01:03:58,840 --> 01:04:02,760 Speaker 1: surfer dude monkeys, you know what I mean. Very chill, 1019 01:04:04,560 --> 01:04:09,040 Speaker 1: very community oriented, exactly. Yeah, I love these I love 1020 01:04:09,120 --> 01:04:11,120 Speaker 1: these monkeys are They're one of my favorites. They're just 1021 01:04:11,280 --> 01:04:13,920 Speaker 1: so I love. I love the whole vibe. You know, 1022 01:04:14,320 --> 01:04:16,760 Speaker 1: it's just it's a cool vibe. It's a chill vibe. 1023 01:04:16,960 --> 01:04:19,040 Speaker 1: I think they might be my favorite one that we've 1024 01:04:19,120 --> 01:04:25,040 Speaker 1: discussed today, for sure, clearly the superior funny named animals. Ah. 1025 01:04:25,160 --> 01:04:27,360 Speaker 1: I do love the lump sucker a lot. Yes, Oh, 1026 01:04:27,560 --> 01:04:30,000 Speaker 1: I know, yes, I forgot about. Maybe it's the tie 1027 01:04:30,200 --> 01:04:36,720 Speaker 1: I die. Okay, here's the pitch. It's the monkey and 1028 01:04:36,880 --> 01:04:39,840 Speaker 1: the fish and their best friends. But they can only 1029 01:04:39,880 --> 01:04:43,520 Speaker 1: kind of like hang out at the water, and the 1030 01:04:43,600 --> 01:04:45,680 Speaker 1: monkey likes to help a fish like find good like 1031 01:04:45,960 --> 01:04:48,320 Speaker 1: places to sit. But then someone messes up the monkeys 1032 01:04:48,400 --> 01:04:51,600 Speaker 1: do and I don't know, only all the suckers have 1033 01:04:51,720 --> 01:04:55,600 Speaker 1: to help him get it together, and they do it 1034 01:04:55,720 --> 01:04:58,880 Speaker 1: by all sitting there, and then they use their bodies 1035 01:04:58,920 --> 01:05:03,480 Speaker 1: to help basically home his hair back into the They 1036 01:05:03,560 --> 01:05:06,760 Speaker 1: use their suckers and do a perm Oh my god, 1037 01:05:07,040 --> 01:05:10,200 Speaker 1: is so good.

May 1041 01:05:23,200 --> 01:05:25,360 Speaker 1: it might struggle a little bit with the pig boat worm. 1042 01:05:25,560 --> 01:05:28,880 Speaker 1: Gonna be honest, might struggle a little bit. Three year 1043 01:05:28,920 --> 01:05:31,600 Speaker 1: olds are gonna love saying pig but worm. That's true. 1044 01:05:31,680 --> 01:05:34,120 Speaker 1: It'll be a big hit with the three year old 1045 01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:37,520 Speaker 1: and prop boulders. It's part jokes. I was like and 1046 01:05:37,640 --> 01:05:43,320 Speaker 1: probably the teenagers to Adam Sandlers stars in pig butt All. 1047 01:05:43,400 --> 01:05:45,840 Speaker 1: I guess Adam Sandler has gone serious now, hasn't he? 1048 01:05:48,280 --> 01:05:51,840 Speaker 1: I mean kind of.
