Marine biologist reacts to Finding Dory

Hi Maria!!!☺ I think what I found most fascinating was how animals know where to go when they migrate. I enjoyed seeing a marine biologist's perspective to finding dory! Great video😄

[@Name-yr8ug]

When seeing the squid that was chasing them, I felt it had more characteristics of a Humboldt Squid rather than a giant squid, what with its rapidly shifting color patterns and the location being in the eastern pacific.

[@espanalove3777]

I have one question. I like diving into the sea but already I wear lenses. Is this a problem. But you are amazing person. I love you

[@Seamemaria]

Hi! I believe that is not a problem, since you can always wear lenses behind your diving goggles. Nevertheless it is always better to ask your doctor and/or diving instructor. Good luck! =)

[@espanalove3777]

@@Seamemaria thank you so much 😘😍🥰

[@natoyadeowdat4053]

One of the main thing I loved about this movie is the music. Especially the main theme. (The song played at the ending of the movie when dory and marlin are looking out into the distance.) It just sounds like what the ocean would if it was music.

[@brennataylor5]

Finding Dory is like one of my favorite movies EVER! How cute is baby Dory?!?! 🐟 Also, does anyone have any advice for Physics? I’m beginning it year and I already know it’s hard (having taken one quarter of it before) and I STRUGGLED!

[@Seamemaria]

Brenna Taylor The only advice I can think of is to try to really understand the theory behind everything. Not just kinda getting it or memorizing it, but really making sense out of all the basics. I know its easier said than done. For me it always helped to try to explain things out loud, either to a friend or to the void. Good luck! 😉

[@Seamemaria]

And baby Dory is extremely cute 😊

[@brennataylor5]

1) Thank you for the advice, I will do my best 💪 and 2) yes she is 🥰

I could watch you talk about the ocean all-day. In fact, since I found your channel today I have watched you most of the day.

[@anjuhlique]

I'm from the Philippines and I didn't even know that we have the whale shark on our 100 peso bill haha. Thanks for this!

[@Palitato]

I know this is an old video, but I remembered a really interesting migration fact about monarch butterflies... at one point along their migration path, there's a huge lake. Part of the way across this lake, they take an unexplained detour to one side, before turning again and eventually getting back onto their path... there was nothing in the way, they could have gone straight across the lake, but they always, always flew this weird detour... And a bunch of geologists finally figured out that there used to be a MOUNTAIN there, but millions of years of geological shifting has resulted in there being a lake where the mountain used to stand. But the butterflies still have the 'memory' of the mountain being in the way, so they go 'around' the mountain.

0:30 When I was a kid, I learned the word "memory" via the memory game. You know the one where you turn the cards over to see if they match? So I never pronounced it as "remembery" like I'm sure a lot of kids did.

[@mariokestler5390]

Sunfish in spanish is called Moonfish too 😂

[@FireNeko3]

in german too! It's called Mondfisch.

[@jolliapplegirl]

So, from what i learned from your finding nemo vid, the striped marlin (I think) from the beginning were offering to shoal with Young Dory as they would have been a school of fish for social reasons.

[@thunderzilla3521]

The squid in the movie actually is a Firefly squid. They're pretty small. An average of 3 inches in length. They also possess the incredible ability to do counter illumination camouflage. When seen from below by a predator, the bioluminescence helps to match the squid's brightness and colour to the sea surface above.

[@k.r.jrandomchannel8022]

Ok this movie is fun but the inaccurate whale shark really annoys me cus they threw fish in a filter feeders tank and they are not whales and would not speak whale!!! It irritates me cus whale sharks are my favourite fish!!!

[@thewhiteshe-wolf9975]

The movie didn’t show this, but I have a small tiny head canon that they also took Kuroshio current, the North Pacific current and then the California current. I don’t know if if that changes things (probably not) but it’s to think about (at least from my perspective)🤷‍♀️.

[@mastershooter64]

[@chalkandrubble5702]

First time commenting here (been a silent watcher all this time haha) I absolutely love this channel and all the effort you put in all of your videos ♡♡♡ I want to study Biology in uni but have no idea what I'll do afterwards. Watching you and other youtube channels makes me want to be a marine biologist. I am afraid I am attracted to the field by the 'glamour' though, and not because of an actual interest in marine life. That makes me worried. What I do have is an IMMENSE love for writing and science (and a weird obsession and curiosity towards the Mariana Trench) Do you have any advice for people who are unsure about the exact field of science (or bio in particular) they want to pursue?

[@Seamemaria]

Hi! That is a difficult question to answer, since usually the path one needs to take to understand what they want is very different between people. Marine biology is definitely glamorized in many situations, and I believe you should only pursue that career if you are really passionate about marine life. However it is hard to know whether you like it or not without really experiencing it. If you the only reason you want to be a marine scientist is the glamour of the profession than don´t do it. If you however you love marine life and want to study it, than maybe give it a chance. Sorry I can´t be of much help, but these are always very personal life paths one has to figure out by themselves ;) Good luck with whatever you end up doing! =)

[@darrenwall8720]

Hi Maria Hello from a fan in the uk.. Im wondering if you have watched David Attenborough’s new series on Netflix esp the one on the coral reef..

[@daliborjovanovic510]

The huge squid they encounter is a Humboldt squid (Dosidicus gigas), which makes sense, since the scene happens off the coast of California, while giant squids are a deep-ocean species, hence why it's almost exclusively known from dead specimens that washed up on beaches, plus a giant squid would be much larger compared to a clownfish and blue tang.

I wish she gave a reaction about that squid

[@fantasyaj6510]

One thing I noticed when I first watched Finding Dory is that when Dory is playing dead inside the bucket of dead fish she says that she has to blink. In real life fish are incapable of blinking because they have no eyelids.

ACTUALLY the most correct plural of octopus is octopodes, but octopuses is acceptable.

[@Arzamol5]

Just looked it up, and at least according to this article on Webster's site, there's no universally agreed upon plural. www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/the-many-plurals-of-octopus-octopi-octopuses-octopodes

[@Shadowjedi-kf7pe]

I have a question. So we see that Hank has the ability to camouflage. And as far as I know the only creature in the ocean that can do that is the cuddle fish. So do octopuses have that trait as well?

[@normanpeckham9794]

Yes they do

[@davidledgister36]

I really love your videos, actually I have a question, what's the animal where Dory was sleeping? It looks like a brain or something like that.

[@Seamemaria]

I think it is a brain coral. They are beautiful corals and really look like brains ;)

[@isaaccrandall7734]

Rip currents are no joke, once you are in one unless you are a strong swimmer they are a bitch to get out of, and can be potentially lethal. I have been caught in a few and can be kinda scary, but it is not as bad if you do your research and learn how to get out of them.
