I love how dedicated you guys are to the channel despite it's small size. It's always a pleasure to watch these videos.

if i was a young flatfish i would have panicked choosing the right side.

They are like us, we have so much hope and dreams as a kid and young flat fishes aspire to be a regular symmetrical fish and in the end, reality hits and our dreams get crushed as an adult and flat fishes are destined to fall to one side and look like a freak of nature.

[@AnimalFactFiles]

I've come to embrace my freak of nature side at this point

[@ornamenty-y]

I like to call them “Ripoff Rays”.

[@AnimalFactFiles]

That's a great name! 🤣

Thanks lol

Yay! I had a mini anxiety attack when you said my name. Lol. I had a pet flat fish, called a hog choker, a one point when I was kid. He was so weird.

[@AnimalFactFiles]

Oh no! Hopefully it wasn't too jarring!!

I was floating in the ocean as a child and was fishing up little shrimp with my hands by just feeling around and grabbed. And I managed to fish out a little baby dab.

[@anodoxa]

as its born, it swims normally, but when it gets older the eyes go on top of their heads and it swims on its side because evolution is weird, then the eye comes out and migrates

[@HostileLemons]

The haven't finished evolving. Thos is a transition phase

[@AnimalFactFiles]

True. Technically, everything is evolving according to the theory of evolution. =)

[@jadenl629]

WOW!! I have seen these fishes before and now I know what it's called! Thank you also for the information! Keep up the awesome effort!😋

[@Frethzel]

Try to walk backwards forever your eyes slowly merge back to your ears.

[@therevolutionwillnotbeyoutubed]

How does the eye even travel like that?

[@jaczylijaaleniepowiemkto3243]

Asymmetrical growth. As the fish develops, the tissue on its soon-to-be-blind side divides slightly faster, causing the skull to stretch out into a funny shape. Or at least that's how I understand it, I'm not an ichthyologist.

[@paulina4918]

Yeah I found a Baby Flounder in the wild... caught it with my pokeball. Now time to evolve it into a One-sided Flounder. 😐

Looks like the claims those creationist made against Darwin fell, Flat.

[@AnimalFactFiles]

They were really only looking at one side of the picture.

[@dcagdigger312]

Rekt 100

[@salvadorreyes1337]

Not really. The majority of the scientist decided that the fossil dated back millions of years. Dating something can be very inaccurate. The decision is just arbitrary and ideological. There were scientists that disagreed with Darwin. It turns out, that Darwin isn't God. Carbon dating is so inaccurate.

What is the transitional fossil that you're speaking of?

[@fubberpish3614]

Amphistium paradoxum, an early flatfish from the Middle Eocene

well, they dont really bite their food. they swallow it whole.

They broke symmetry huh.....no wonder why I get OCD whenever I look at them.

[@harlantaylor92]

I love how all science now has to try so hard to relate everything yo evolution with - proof

[@randomcomment2177]

Ignoring the massive scientific proof that evolution is real just because they haven't found the transition fossils of a single species yet (at one time, there was no species with evolutionary proof, but that changed radically with the simple fact of investigating it) tells me how ignorant you are, but you need stop being an ignorant to realize that... well... not your fault I guess, asking you to understand this would be too much to ask after all.

[@Modaaani]

Fun Fact Flat fishes live in water, not in FLAT 🏢. Flat fishes don't pay FLAT Tax for being Flat. Flat fishes never saw FLATbush, Brooklyn. Flat fishes never get FLATulence. Flat fishes never eat FLATbreads. Flat fishes never are FLATlanders. Flat fishes cannot be FLATtered. Flat fishes don't get FLATtened seeing beautiful women. . Flat fishes have gills like Punjabi gills. 😊😊😊

[@DesertVox]

Nice 'evolution' fairy tale mythology as an intro to everything. It obviates the need to attribute intelligent design to a designer.

HAVE TO BRING DARWIN IN IT HUH?? IT'S CALLED DARWIN'S "THEORY" FOR A REASON

[@AnimalFactFiles]

"Theory" in scientific terms does not equate to the everyday usage of the word theory. A scientific theory is one that has been tested multiple times and verified using the scientific method. For all intents and purposes when something is labeled as a theory it is considered truth unless disproven through repeated testing using the scientific method and new evidence. Some other scientific theories include the theory of gravitation and the theory of relativity. You're welcome to believe your own truth, though. That's part of the will of humans 😊 Hope you have a wonderful day.

[@_Medusa.]

Why is it disgusting?

[@salvadorreyes1337]

The fossil was dated on a arbitrary basis. When you date something now, geologists, zoologist, and even climatologists, have to agree with you and come to a conclusion. Carbon dating is way off and has been debunked numerous times. It all comes down to what their opinion and if its reasonable. So relying on Darwinism is just an ideological opinion.
