Hagfish: The world's slimiest creatures - Noah R. Bressman and Douglas Fudge

[@botoen7883]

when you dont know what to do, just watch a five minute video about slimy eels

[@lulpert1370]

Funny how there's no bot here

[@WALDOREYN]

Jep....

[@doraphase]

and then your mind gets a ton of information just by watching these bite sized videos tbh, educational videos get interesting if you don't watch it for school..

[@candycue7225]

And share it with your friends or family when they too don't know what to do

[@kiarona.]

Legit me right now

[@TristanSamuel]

P.O.V. You were in the first car to hit that truck, and all those hagfish just spread all over your windshield. That'd be so damn horrifying.

I feel like more details about the hagfish's four hearts and ability to survive 36 hours of oxygen deprivation would also have been cool details, but I still really enjoyed this video! If people are watching a five-minute video on slimy fish they'll watch a 10 minute one.

[@romanski5811]

When was the last time they made a 10-minute video on this channel?

[@jk-gb4et]

damn bro just casually mentioned four hearts and 36 hours of oxygen deprivation lol

[@jk-gb4et]

thats sick

[@jk-gb4et]

maybe it can survive the oxygen deprivation in case its stuck in its own slime and can't knot it self out?

[@vindj2391]

this channel is never trying to give us a comprehensive explanation about things, but introducing them in an interesting way in order to encourage us, the viewers to be curious and learn more about new things ourselves!

[@CuddleFish124]

I read this title as “smallest animal” not “slimiest animal” and yet, I was not disappointed. In fact I probably enjoyed this video more than a video ON the worlds “smallest animal” 😂

[@brokenglassshimmerlikestar3407]

Me too!!! I saw the title and the thumbnail I thought it would be about nematodes or something

[@daljit7881]

I read as world's "slimest animal" instead of "slimiest"...

This was the first time hearing about hagfish, it was great, thanks.

[@terramater]

Incredible! we'd love to shoot a documentary on them at some point. However, making sure not getting them "on camera"! 😉

[@earthling_parth]

Ayy, it's Terra Mater! Please do a video on them when you can. Much love ♥️

[@brickyy3106]

i love how the other fish are so impressed by the hagfish

[@nump45]

The hagfish highway sliming incident occurred outside Depoe Bay on the Oregon coast. As an Oregonian I still remember that day in 2017 when my coworker asked me if I had heard about the massive slime spill. I had never imagined that this would be featured on TED-Ed one day. 😅👍

[@rollintweeds234]

What a charming account of an extraordinary survivor! Astonishing good looks and able to wring itself clean!

[@anthropolis4427]

Wow, I never thought about that. That's so fascinating.

[@JaybeePenaflor]

I never knew how interesting hagfish were until TED-Ed happened.

Same

[@philRminiatures]

So interesting and so nicely done...another gem!

[@prisma7760]

Not-so-fun-fact: did you know that one of the hagfishes main nutrition comes from whale corpses that sunk to the bottom. They feed on them in a special way, they make a sort of knot with their own body to gain extra leverage to rip out chunks of blubber.

[@poulomi__hari]

No wonder they are ocean cleaners.

[@friendlypunk8975]

Love this animation style, great video as always!

[@snackbasket1214]

The Nickelodeon cartoon show "Grossology" has an episode dedicated to the hagfish! That cartoon was the first time I learned about them. I remember seeing the hagfish make slime and tie themselves in knots to clean themselves.

Hagfishes are actually vertebrates and belong to cyclostomate group

[@LuddyFish_]

It's interesting because they're classified as vertebrates but lack a vertebrae.

[@dinohall2595]

A wonderful pun was missed, the hag fish getting it self's out of sticky problem

[@think3rofficial]

Fun fact, I’ve tasted hagfish slime. If you were wondering, it’s a little salty because most of the slime is just from the water around it.

[@robertg.1162]

So, hagfish! From the title, I was expecting "politician" ;P
