Salamanders | The Amazing Regenerators

[@TySmithHerpingVA]

Salamanders are truly AMAZING! Excellent job with the explanation, as those deep topics can be difficult to explain.

[@KoawNature]

Thanks Ty! And thanks for letting me plug some of your photos again.

Great video. Salamanders are incredible. Great job highlighting the genetic side of things and awesome animations.

[@KoawNature]

Appreciate that Gabe. Salamanders are pretty baller.

[@asianseaanimals]

Amazing animations

[@KoawNature]

Thanks! I'm getting bit better with those animations as time goes by.

this was a great video man, very informative!..its really amazing just how much they can regenerate...thanks for posting this one

[@KoawNature]

Thanks man. Yeah, their regeneration is incredible.

I appreciated the warning at the beginning and chose to listen to the video like a podcast. I'm sorry if there were great visuals in here, but the information was fascinating and well worth the attention. I am so confused how salamander genome size is inverse to their regeneration. That seems so backwards. I hope we find out the answer someday, because it will probably teach us something interesting about ALL living things. Thanks for assembling this information and the (I'm assuming) great video!

[@KoawNature]

Yeah, I figured some people wouldn't want to watch that. Thanks for listening!

Interesting! Particularly the contradiction that an enormous genome is needed for regeneration, but that beyond a certain point, the larger the genome, the lower the regeneration. Perhaps the cells become too fragile to hold up.

[@KoawNature]

Yeah, I do believe you're right. Big cells still have to work with all the smaller 'building blocks' so it muddled things up.
