Snake and evolution meet Snake: I want to be different from other snakes. Evolution: Okay. Snake: WTF

[@1794Topesp]

Imagine you caught worms for fishing, and its turned out to be snakes

[@soundspark]

Pretty sure a fish would go after it anyway.

[@russellwhitmyer6764]

Many years ago a young boy hunted for worms for fishing. His worms turned out to be newly hatched rattle snakes. Yes he did love.

[@timreynolds4252]

​@@russellwhitmyer6764😮 thats scary dont babies also have no control over their venom so if they do bite they empty the tank? Anyways thats cool story glad everything went well

[@gretud35679]

The most favorite KZbin channel and the most favorite animals are snakes, I'll be back soon, I need to make coffee!

[@oldschool8432]

If it's the price to pay for no more baby voice steve segments I'll take it

[@Teceng1]

An ordinary person: Yes, it's a worm WATOP: Listen carefully

[@Krisfff3417]

The visuals are getting better and better, thanks and keep up the good work

[@pold4837]

We have them on Guam too. Ours is like a neon blue! Very beautiful creatures indeed!! Yes, they seem to love termites!! Great job watop!! Keep up the great work!!

[@soundspark]

Actually, constrictors rarely crush bones, but it is true that they produce sufficient pressure to cause cardiac arrest.

[@involvedbreak5128]

I love your videos

[@ThePoizonkiss]

I was fascinated by this video! Thanks a lot for your hard work! I never heard of this snake,wow it's pretty mysterious looking . boy was I glad to go on the little "brominy" snakes primer jaunt,quite satisfied my curiosity🐍 Cheers from Minnesota👍

[@XxUnknownxX579]

Very interesting little thing but cute

[@yaseensharawi8034]

You make a great video

[@Nmethyltransferase]

Normal Person: "Oh, hey... A worm." WATOP Narrator: "Please, sit down. Are you chewing gum? I'mma need you to spit it out. Okay, ready..?"

[@sunkeyavad6528]

Skibbidi blind snakes. Coming out of a toilet near you.

"Snake That Gave Up Its Head, Mouth and Fangs to Decapitate Its Prey"

[@keinohrhasi79]

At school we learn that only a fraction of the entire DNA strand is active, but all the genes that we have evolved are present! For example, we have gills as embryos! From this we can conclude that evolution consists of activating or deactivating various DNA sequences (over time, of course).

[@Movrus493]

It's funny, I saw a comment on the last video for you to make a video about a rare snake

[@deankaprolet3994]

Found one of these mini blind snakes in my yard couple months ago. Took a while to determine if it was a worm or snake

[@Mr-Probability-Storm]

I once seen one of these fighting with an earth worm I didn't know what kind of snake it was they were so small I lost sight of them and have never seen such a thing again

[@GeorgeBrown-pr8sg]

I commend you reminding me to hit the like button. I do forget...

[@rlh9373]

Snake with the Alien mouth . It's the other 👄 of the Alien.

[@Rimas3923]

I would like long episodes, I like to do my own thing and listen to your videos

[@TSA595]

This was the first and only snake I have discovered in my yard. These blind snakes are amazing

[@Esptech43]

This snake in the frog killed me

[@bort14124]

I never thought that worms could be snakes lol

[@johnpistorius7565]

We live in north west south Africa weve encountered about 10 of these snakes their very petite

[@kberlinquette]

Eye sight costs humans 15% of their daily calories...

[@Villain630]

Barbados' thread snake is actually the smallest

[@VolksmarineDesDDR]

That’s….Interesting..

[@familyman1110]

My cat catches worm snakes all the time the they come out of cracks in my porch foundation biggest I've seen is 2 inches

[@bradrizzo3950]

What a fun snake name lol

[@alexanderattaie]

Yo your coffee in the beginning, yeah it looks disgusting. Like if a hippopotamus was on an ultra liquid cleanse. 😉

[@teosandev6116]

Ah, we found Uchiha Itachi's direct ancestor.

[@wisconsinaquatics]

495 👍 I nominate the next video be on the subject cichlidae. The species of cichlid are just insane. They have complicated social structures in nature and in captivity. Most of them are known for their levels of intelligence and personality. Trust me once you start researching cichlids, all the continents they are found on, and how many different kinds there are you'll find yourself falling down an incredible rabbit hole!

[@petramatkovic4122]

The thumbnail is SO CONFUSING

[@patriciatoomingtheplantpar2558]

Looks like what we call glass snakes in Florida

[@nouarimokhtar5244]

[@imtiazchoudhary3976]

These snakes are common in my home town and people thinks that they baby snakes or sometimes confuses them earthworms.

[@oggyxyz-hp2iy]

I saw that snake and I knew that isn't worm I thought that is poisonous so I laft

[@Nerodr]

Yaaaay

[@Ocencreeperking]

Also i saw a micro tiny snake in my yard wen i was idk 3+ and i grabbed it and see if its a centeped or a meleped and i was playing put side our house in the bush i live in South East Asia btw

[@OlyChickenGuy]

Ah man these littoral guys are just too cute! I'd love to come across one someday, but I'm not sure if they're where I live (Pacific Northwest). Closest thing I've ever seen was about a pencil-sized black snake, but it was very distinctly snake-shaped, and just slightly shorter and thinner than a new, unsharpened pencil. I was very, very little when I came across this snake, and I believe I was told it was a tyre / innertube / rubber snake? I think I was told it's a "rubber snake", and the innertube of a bike tyre was used as a reference of why they were called that, as full grown they kind of look like bike tubes.

[@seatbelttruck]

Rubber boa, perhaps? It'd be a baby I think. They're small, but not that small, and they aren't usually black. Before I read the rest of your comment I though Racer or Ring-necked snakes which are both very small and can be black, though the ring-necked snake usually has a brightly colored belly and ring around its neck, hence the name.

[@OlyChickenGuy]

@@seatbelttruck There's not many snakes up here in the Northwest, and I've most certainly never heard of a wild boa in the area. Most of what I come across are Garters with an occasional Racer, but the snake I came across was 100% black and not shaped quite right (again, relying on a childhood memory, but "uniform colour" is hard to mistaken when one had the opportunity to hold and really take in the animal in question). I also don't think I've ever seen a boa baby so small, and I had a friend who was a snake breeder (mostly corns with a few constrictors specifically for breeding to increase domestic stock in the area and help diminish reliance on wild caught pet trade). I know I was able to find a positive ID for it at some point, using the fact that it was very small, uniformly black, and found in the PNW. Narrowing reptile ID research to the PNW helps a LOT, because like I said, we just don't have a very favourable environment for most herpaderps. EDIT: I did a quick search, and I see the Rubber Boa listed as even being found in my county, and appears to be a dwarf variety that stays pretty small. Still, it's too blunt of a head and not absolutely uniformly black. Admittedly, the black colouration COULD be due to melanism, and otherwise the closest thing I'm finding is a Racer, but they're still not a uniform colour.

[@seatbelttruck]

@@OlyChickenGuy I'm also from the Pacific Northwest, lol. I've come across Rubber Boas in the wild. I wouldn't have thought Rubber boa if not for you mentioning somebody saying it was a "rubber snake." That's the only snake in the area with "rubber" in its name as far as I'm aware. Racers and Ring-necks were the ones I could think of off the top of my head that fit best. Further googling found the Sharp-tailed snake, which would be about the right size but isn't the right color. Rat Snakes can be all black, but they're big ol' constrictors (well, not compared to pythons and big boas, but still). It'd have to be a newborn to be anywhere near that small. Anyway, just commenting because I like snakes :)

[@OlyChickenGuy]

@@seatbelttruck Yeah, I can see how that would lead down a trail to the Boa, and I very much appreciate that you've taken your time to share your knowledge. Looking at Google, myself, I'm starting to think it must have been an extremely melanistic version of something more common, like the Ring-Neck or Racer. BTW- this childhood experience took place in an area that can best be described as Lynnwood or the very northern edge of the "Greater Seattle Area", but was unincorporated. My friend's dad was walking us to a nearby park when my friend and I came across a dead snake, and it was friend's dad that called it a "Rubber Snake", or whatever he said. I don't live there anymore, so no idea if it was a local population of some sort, either, and never got the chance to truly go herping.

[@dreswan1]

Smallest snake? No

[@mimemouse997]

Earthworm 🪱 snake 🐍

[@Diegofunf]

blahblehteblind snake

[@PuncherOfAbs]

As far as the toe to swallowing ...... animals with incredibly slow metabolism especially reptiles probably just require less oxygen especially if they sit underwater or plow through the underground. And unlike hibernating alligators. Can remain active normally but still functionally living like a hibernating alligator Kind of like how are whales and sea birds fly while sleeping . it’s sort of auto pilot. Or zombielike state

[@nathanhale7444]

Evolution lol

[@Philfluffer]

Hey, humans have gills early in development. Shows easily our ancestors were fish. Those structures then turn into the trachea and bronchi later in development. Nonetheless, evolution works from the most basic to the more complex. We start off simple and as we grow we get more complicated and specialized.

[@Nicholas-xu9dr]

So cool i’m a huge fan❤❤❤❤😊

[@hunnywrabbit6510]

im a snake

[@Sir_Persevere]

I'm surprised that you didn't mention about birds of prey actually capturing these snakes in order to put them in their nests so that the snakes could eat parasites that would harm their chicks.

[@user-de6on5zq2c]

Damn, that's interesting af

[@goldensloth7]

how'd you get seth rogen to narrate?

[@Bradman1978]

Is it really Decapitation if you are removing the body from its head? Maybe Debottumitation... I doubt there is a real word

[@pokeyninjafun]

Love this channel but only thing that bugs me is evolution wish it be micro-evolutio; which indeed does happen.

[@kevinavillain4616]

I find that this episode is twice as long as it needs to be because of repetitive comments and bumbling through the content.

[@roberthevern6169]

Hey, Steve or WATOP, whoever, Maybe use the accurate word for snake experts: herpetologist! We all learn things, and knowing how to refer to that thing is not inappropriate! Just a suggestion from an OG! Thanks, uh, whoever! Or is it, whomever...? PS. My gut said herpetologist, and upon asking the Google gods, I was confirmed to be not incorrect!

[@m3gduwu560]

Hello, random autistic person here to tell you that it is indeed possible for an animal to loose it's eyes through evolution. The mexican tetra is divided into two species, A suface dwelling one that has eyes, they are a silvery grey and irredecant, the cave dwelling species has however lost it's eyes and it's pigment as it simply doesn't need to see if it's pitch black and there is no need to be colorful when noone can see anything, especially your fellow tetras that can't because they have no eyes

[@wesley135]

thanks for not doing Steves voice anymore

[@aVerveQuest]

No kidding. That made it too annoying to watch

[@ACEfromVisa559]

3 begs for a like means im NOT gonna hit the button.

[@Can_0_Bull]

😢

[@sunnyquinn3888]

WATOP didn't use to be like this (though I actually DID forget to hit 👍 until right before the third beg lol). Idk what's going on, it seems like in just the past few weeks most of the KZbin channels have gone crazy with product endorsements/self-promotion of their merch/begging for likes and subscriptions. It's so odd.

[@m3gduwu560]

yes it consumes oxygen at the same rate as regular snakes. But how does oxygen work again, oh yeah that's that thing that's put in your blod to help you grow, reproduce and eat, you basically use oxygen for everything you do. Now why is this important? Because it helps us understand how oxygen consumption is measured. How is it measured? Proportionally of course, as the numbers would be irelevant otherwise. Try picturing an elefant breathing, that takes up a lot of air right? Now try picturing a mouse breathing, not so much huh? Well that is essentially what we would get if oxygen consumption wasn't measure proportionally, as simply knowing how much oxygen a creature consumes eally tells us more about their size than how much oxygen they need to surive. Instead you would measure it either by weight or by surface area, but as surface area can be missleading, let's go with weight. Than we can make a formula that looks something like x=o/t/kg wich shows us how much oxygen was consumed over a certain amount of time relative to the animals mass. So when you read that they consume the same amount of oxygen as a normal snake that very likely meant that if somehow you where to shrink a normal snake down to the size of the blind snake, then they would consume the same amount of oxygen

[@ryanreedgibson]

I've notices your like percentage is low. WTF? It's not due to quality. My lowest liked channel has less than 5 percent who don't like or dislike.

I need to point out the tendency for this narrative to perpetuate the falsehood that evolution has goals or self-determination. For shame
