Exploring Ancient Springs in Texas | National Geographic

[@jc13781]

as a texas state university alum, this video is awesome to me... i remember taking glass bottom boat tours on this spring as a freshman!

[@jacklancer3401]

How nice to see Science Research being propagated throughout Texas.

[@maxmama209]

I feel lucky to have grown up in FL (our springs rival any in the world). I also got to spend many summers near San Marcos TX where my Dad lived! Texas is one of those places that has any type of natural environment you can think of... gulf beaches, rolling hills, canyons, caves, deserts, creeks, rivers.... Everything! Its not all rodeos and farms (although there's plenty of that). If you haven't considered going to TX, go.....

Humanity is firey with it's beauty: “Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place.” We are not a plague, but beautiful albeit sometimes misguided creatures.

[@LegacyHernandez]

My aquatic science class went on a field trip here! Twas Awesome

[@tapioca579]

Beautiful

[@gagarinone]

Thanks for sharing!

[@bertwheresernie]

Thats my home!

[@waldenbuilder]

Been there a couple of times. Beautiful area.

[@420rogerz]

Yup sure do, I was raised in it. But now I choose with wild. Nothing can quite match the natural world or the northern wilderness and being self sufficient =) Its not for everyone though

[@TheTecHtc]

Appreciated.

[@LGB357]

Cool stuff!

[@GuyMitchell007]

I was scuba diver certified at that lake.

[@originaldriver2066]

Thank God that there's no oil there.

[@realone2228]

Just you wait

[@zachlovescats95]

Doens't matter if there's oil or not, only if there's money to be made there. A parks employee leaked that land from a state park was being sold to investors.

[@DOSgrid]

I understand what you are saying and agree. BUT, humans are not the only species to make tools. Crows have been known to make tools and show advanced problem solving skills. (they are the worlds smartest birds)

[@LuDimezofKush]

Thanks its just not everyday I find people who take these topics serious most of the time people just wanna be funny.

[@franklindacosta]

[@AUGundam]

Looks like a great area for some c&r.

[@aznguy11111]

it's jsut a GOD DAMN LAKE!!! jp jp. good stuff

[@Megashovelman]

Clear Water.

[@calladutyplayerson2174]

Dinosaurs didn't need tools to survive and they did so until a catastrophic event ended them. Our intellect and lack of could be the end of us. The question is will we EVOLVE in time.

[@reservedcheese]

When can we read the results of the studies?

[@harryohharry13]

Some people live in highly urbanized cities, I doubt some people even get a lot of contact with nature

We all have natural aquariums, Go to the natural waters! :)

[@jonnysends]

i live in tx and i've never been here :( i must go

[@alkonmuneka]

I would love 2 volunteer 4 that!

[@EricHathaway]

Good luck with that :)

[@420rogerz]

I live in eastern canada and go into the woods almost every day with only an axe

[@MujakiKid]

These guys basically bragged about their school campus with a bunch of airy buzzwords like 'our phase one surveyor assessment' and hardly told us anything about what cool stuff lives or was buried in the spring! Blahhh vagueness.... pretty fish though I wish we saw more..

[@DeadTreeDropOff]

@kubusrecords but its not mine and I can't keep other people off it.

[@originaldriver2066]

I forgot about that. :(

I want this soundtrack.

[@inspectorcritic]

Try Blue Lake Ut/NV. its geothermaly heated.

[@woodlandfox01]

He looks like he needs a nap.

[@CarnivalBox]

And by the way, sorry if I expressed myself in an angry manor. I was just so caught by the situation that I was only able to see red. My intention was to educate and question, not to bash people based on their thoughts.

[@johnjhill3]

Try kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6eqhph8fJtkodk (sorry, you'll have to cut&paste) This is Melanochromis. Julidochromis is a very similarly striped genus from another lake. The 'Ancient Springs' video is not conclusive for species I.D., but the yellow-black-white pattern struck me immediately.

[@s4il]

anyone have a senko?

[@DeadTreeDropOff]

i wish i have an aquarium of that size :(

[@ahdonahd]

first viewer & first comment

[@Plusimurfriend]

since its TX i was expecting something like "since 6000 years ago"

[@dakotaneuman8748]

Can you fish there?

[@takumi2023]

at least not directly Antarctica lol and the ocean trenches again not directly. XD

[@erice.wallace4571]

Good one! Lol!

[@91gt306]

Jamaica? And you pity us? Thats hilarious!

[@scheissexmonster]

0:45 they weren't YOUR ancestors

[@takumi2023]

Understand what it cost to keep you alive and live the way you do. Lets assume you live near a lake so u can get clean water from the lake fine but what about your electricity coal, natural gas, both need oil companies to drill underground to extract it that in turns translate back into carbon footprint, next toilet paper, food daily expenses need energy to make them and what happens to the waste? When you throw something away the trash pile grows. and you said the earth can't exist without us?

[@Jstroman221]

Of looks like a bass

[@johnjhill3]

Was that an African cichlid at 03:56? How did that happen?

[@TeslaForTheWin]

Tip of the day. When pointing out another persons lack of education. It would serve you well to demonstrate you yourself are in fact educated. Run on sentences along side improper punctuation, spelling errors, and absence of any capitalization. You were practically asking for it!

[@zippokiller5783]

[@TheVoyagers.]

Gar!

[@koreanboialbert]

Nice, something that's actually cool in Texas lol.

[@rs4runner]

"Unique opportunity..."...

[@TheBierwas]

I bet all that water could be used for a great golf course

[@LuDimezofKush]

People love going into uncharted places and messing the place up. I don't think there is a place on the earth where humans haven't molested.

[@420rogerz]

bushcraft

[@187pitboss]

it would be a more beautiful place

[@Claykoy]

i hope that boat is electrical or some shit.

[@dankbro420]

less humans more underwater stuff

[@takumi2023]

what about the millions of years when dinosaurs lived on the planet is that a lie? we weren't around when Dinosaurs roamed the planet and at least another 600 millions years after the first dinosaurs started dying. You can say we're unique that we're the only species that created tools to advance our survival. but we're anything but extraordinary, if we were we'd learned how to co-exist with the planet without harming it and we'd learn to live together without violence.

[@chrishess1312]

Millions years ha ha

[@LuDimezofKush]

Why is it that boats with propellers aren't encased so that fish and mammals don't get hurt and killed from it?

[@putrajimmi5233]

i dont understad . what is he doing >?

[@LuDimezofKush]

What I said was vulgar. I got a lil upset at your comment. My bad for that. You probably a cool dude if I got to know you and vice versa. But I cant front I get upset quick at times and react without thinking.

[@gsnova6474]

Its a shame that San Marcos is putting up new house over Indian burials. I wonder how many graves they unearth and yet build over. Talk about some f up stuff.

[@LuDimezofKush]

Sarcasm huh

[@Naltddesha]

??

[@All4mula]

european-americans have saved nature from the indigenous peoples

[@akmeximo]

needs more underwater less talk

[@brendannikola5075]

something ancient in Texas that's not a political view?

[@CarnivalBox]

Ok fine, that's your opinion, and I respect it, but I really do not share it with you. I think that in order for us to sustain a healthy lifestyle and, heck, even to keep our very own race going, we have to start thinking less economically, and more environmentally. Because in the end, there will be no one to remember anything about the human race, not the pyramids and not even Jesus, so why not make the best out of our lives and stop destroying and instead enhance the planet we're consuming.

[@LuDimezofKush]

The other dude started it. Besides I'm passionate about things I care about like earth nature etc., but I can careless about ppl like him, you and ya gay cheesy comment.

[@takumi2023]

I like to challenge your claim about humans being extraordinary being, a society of ants are extraordinary....if and when we become extinct i wouldn't mind if ants became the next dominate species. their social structure is already in place. different species of ants occupy different niche. No social problems with having different class workers. (Ie soldiers workers queens) You claim we give more life to it biologically through reproduction and monoculture. But think about this _at what cost_?

[@91gt306]

ignorance

[@dydockreviews7945]

were they not able to bring a single woman on this project? Damn Texas.
