Untangling convergent evolution.

[@DanGamingFan2846]

So glad to see another Second Nature episode. It's incredible how long these creatures can live, and how the immortal jellyfish can reverse it's aging.

[@tonydeluna8095]

I think jellyfish are beautiful especially at night or in the dark deep blue sea. When they glow, their colors are astounding. But getting stung by them sucks

[@harsh3948]

Do all jellyfish have stingers?

[@Sunflowersarepretty]

This was super informative what I learnt today was that there are some plants that can live, long, long, long. I only knew of the immortal jellyfish and find it so cool to be able to go through the life cycles at slight inconveniences. I don't wanna live that long but I'd love to not age anymore 😂😂

I personally saw several Camphora trees esteemed to be older then 3000 years and in perfect health. One even hosts a small temple in the trunk

[@terramater]

Very interesting list! There's also the non-stingy jellyfish from Borneo. Our crew managed to get on camera a lagoon that was cut off from the ocean long ago, giving extraordinary creatures like the stingless golden jellyfish the chance to evolve in line with its unique, isolated conditions.

Poor lobsters they aren’t dumb they’re brilliant

[@yland6003]

Loved this, I want to see Tasha cover senescence on Floralogic! Methuselah, the Great Basin Bristlecone Pine is estimated to be 4,800 years old?!?! Did someone mention negligible senescence? It’s pretty remarkable that a living organism could replicate its DNA for hundreds or thousands of years. Plants understood the assignment! 😂

[@harsh3948]

Well plants are the original living creatures, if anyone, it should be them that discovered immortality over millennium

[@yland6003]

@@harsh3948 yes but plants had to evolve from something so they aren’t the original form of life. So considering that all life on earth has a common ancestor, it’s pretty remarkable that one group of organisms evolved to live significantly longer than any other species. Also, most plants were destroyed in the massive Cretaceous extinction event. So the majority plants evolved simultaneously with most living animals!

[@maythesciencebewithyou]

Plants appeared long after the first animals

I sometimes feel bad for my persimmon tree. I’m only able to keep it company for less than 100 years, and it will have to live the remaining 200 something years of its life without my care 😂

I'm not a fan of physical ageing, I'm bald, have a big belly, grey hair and on blood pressure medication! Very huge fan of mental growth and maturity though.

[@alexwixom4599]

There's an idiom in spanish for daydreaming: "Pensando en la inmortalidad del cangrejo." It translates to "Thinking about the immortality of the crab." I like to think they meant lobsters having an existential crisis over how long eternity is.

Smokey the bear has caused more forest fires due to the build-up of dead plant matter. Forest fires can actually be beneficial by clearing space for new plantlife to grow.

[@Termini_Man]

I love hydra so much. they are crazy. they have INSANE regenerative abilities. They can reform after literally being blended to mush.

It makes me wonder that if we learned the true basis of negligible senescence that it may turn out to be impossible for high metabolism / endothermic animals like us.

[@salam-peace5519]

There is a spruce tree on a mountain in Sweden called Old Tjikko, that is measured to be 9550 years old. It is actually quite small, because it regrew from the same root multiple times, and because of the mountain conditions it grows very slowly.

[@dreyhawk]

That narrator's voice sure brought back memories. I grew up listening to that voice. Yes, I'm older, but not old.

One of the biggest general concepts I took away from my time in Marine Bio classes in college is as follows: The only rule in biology is that there is always an exception to the rule.

I have an interesting antidote for you. In the Japanese city of Hiroshima is a Buddhist temple that has a ginkgo tree. The Tree is like 150+ years old and it survived the nuclear bomb dropped at the end of WW2. The Ginkgo Tree is still sprouting fresh leaves. It is alive despite a Nuke! Dang that is botanical immortality right there.

Greenland sharks or Green Landsharks? One is a long lived species of Arctic shark, the other is a creature that I imagine would camouflage in our lawns and eat us when we are trying to mow it.

At 2:30 you say we are going to see the "longest living vertebrate in the world." You then show us the Greenland Shark - sharks are chordates, but they are not vertebrates. All vertebrates are chordates, but not all chordates are vertebrates.

Based on our research, sharks are vertebrates. Only animals like tunicates and lancelets are chordate invertebrates.

Question: These animals and plants has a (particulary efficient) self-regenerative mechanism biilt in. AHumans we have a similar, not that sofisticate system, avmaintenanance sys that renew our cells , our body is in constan cell replacement. Said that, : Can we say we are the same as yesterdaday, when we are made up of different , new, cells?. ( are we the information passed down to the new cells?) .

OK, who out there actually pronounces "Greenland" as "green land," as in "green land sharks?"

[@kermitthorson9719]

would aspen then be a good candidate for conservatively planned lumber farms? you could have a few colonies that each get their pruning every 15 years or whatever

[@Wingedshadowwolf]

The wood rots quicker than most other lumber. It isn't good firewood either, since it doesn't dry out easily. They do grow and spread fast(which stinks for gardeners) so it would probably be good for reforesting areas.
