Untangling convergent evolution.

[@sanguisdominus]

I love how giant isopods have basically filled the same ecological niche as trilobites.

[@AifDaimon]

Another case of convergent evolution?

[@mac5er]

The only relevant scientific question is if they were cute or not, at least according to this video.

[@Chitose_]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@Spinningfellas]

i love isopods so much.

[@Planet-of-the-Gibbons]

Aquatic isopods have similarities to the extinct radiodonts, like the anomalocaris.

[@andyfriederichsen]

[@andyfriederichsen]

@@lafosh7234 Once you get past the midwater where the tiny fish that look like miniature horror movie monsters like to hang out, you can find some neat stuff living on the seafloor. Dumbo octopuses or, if you go really deep, frolicking pink critters called hadal snailfish.

The deep ocean makes up the largest habit on Earth, and yet the one we know least about. It's crazy what kind of creatures you can find down there.

[@andyfriederichsen]

It's a world of wacky goofballs. Squids with elbows, tiny fish that look like miniature horror movie monsters, sharks that have a taste for undersea cables, spikey crabs, adorable blobs, and frolicking pink fish.

[@antoniousai1989]

It's the largest by size, but it's also not dense on an extreme level. There's probably more biomass on the land surface.

[@V.U.4six]

@@andyfriederichsenif you’re referring to the blob fish that’s only because of the pressure change or something like that from the depths vs the surface

[@andyfriederichsen]

@@V.U.4six I'm not referring to the blob fish.

[@ElysetheEevee]

​@@V.U.4six Also, they explained that in the video. Not to mention, it's becoming quite common knowledge now. I'm just throwing that out there.

[@mypal1990]

Kinda cool seeing the slow movements of some of the creatures in those depths. They gotta expend so much energy to even move an inch!

[@sammythijs8641]

They may just be moving so slow as a way to be more energy efficient given low resources?

[@88_TROUBLE_88]

@@sammythijs8641 true as well, however it certainly seems reasonable to assume it requires more expended energy to move around in an environment with several atmospheres worth of extra weight and pressure upon each square inch of their bodies

[@deauthorsadeptus6920]

​@@sammythijs8641Mainly that. They can live without food for a looong time, and that doesn't really affect them.

[@akaroth7542]

​@@88_TROUBLE_88Water at the Mariana's trench is only about 4% compressed. Animals down there have adapted to not having air pockets or anything thatd cause a pressure difference. It's not too difficult for them to move, since the water is barely denser than the surface. They are just conserving energy since food is scarce.

[@88_TROUBLE_88]

h7542 I get that the difference between the pressures are negligible in terms of the percentage, however those percentages are misleading as far as the effects they have on the life that we're looking at - a mere percentage can be, and _is_ , a huge difference in the mobility and the result is ironically part of what you're referring to where it pays to conserve energy as well as be much more efficient for negating the cost of water pressure on the highly compressed, dense bodies that blow up into weird, mangled-looking deflated balloons when the pressures are attenuated.. Also, you might be surprised to know there is something of a smorgasbord or plethora of food for many forms of life down there, and it's consistent in the detritis and "snow" or whatever which is always accumulating at those depths due to the factors above, which I'm not going to begin listing off here, but suffice it say that for much of the lifeforms down there, starvation isn't a valid concern.. For others, such as predatory or ambush creatures, it's probably much closer to the conditions you're referring to where it is much better to conserve energy due to the lack of food sources and those are the type which have become ultra evolved into specific ways that allow them to eek out an existence and their success or failure is much more dependent on the particular factors that are highly specialized for them to achieve their growth and prosperity, if it can be thought of as such.. More likely, it's difficult enough to get food and exist at all past the current generation..

[@CorwinFound]

I remember a kid's CGI TV show, The Octonauts, that had to do with the ocean. The blobfish characters were animated as they look at the surface and was the first time I heard of these critters. I was kinda sad when I found out that in their natural environment they look a lot more normal. (Btw, great kids show. Fun, informative, and wholesome. Not sure if its still on.)

[@xxiloveitallxx]

Octonauts was fab! They even had an episode with a yeti crab and a vampire squid

[@InkyWinkDink]

Fun fact: Vampire squids aren't that terrifying. Even though their scientific name is quite literally calling them squids from hell, they are not like the shark from jaws. They live in a such low oxygen place and barely have any predators (but they still do have some), they don't really.. do alot. They kinda just chill there. Sure, they have defense mechanisms, but they don't require alot. They just use the power of "glowing ink or whatever" to escape unharmed. They either; 1. Trick their predators into thinking their gone.. even though they're.. like 5 feet away. 2. They can "spit" their goo at their predators (kinda like how an octopus does with ink), which can cause the predators' predators to find them, and the guy can just walk away. And the funniest part.. they don't eat meat, or veges.. they eat sea snow.. sea snow. Like, scientists have found in vampire squids' stomachs sea snow.. alot.. alot.. of sea snow. They can't chase you, and even if they did catch up to you, you can just.. flick them off of you.

Incredible! This Channel rocks! It’s really incredible and superbly awesome, a lot of work goes into these videos 100% is apparent, phenomenal work! also for a suggest, a video about the Cuban crocodiles would be awesome, also one of the rarest animals on earth as well, and has the smallest distribution of any known crocodilian on the planet, there is a lot of significance regarding this species, it is the most ecologically, morphologically, and behaviorally distinct of all the crocodiles, and the most terrestrial one of all as well. Also the only truly Cuban crocodiles are only found in Cuban crocodile farms in Cuba such as the guama croc farm and have genes that are no longer found in the wild. On the topic of the Cuban crocodile, Fascinatingly Cuban crocodiles are actually terrestrial adapt carnivores and were living in fully terrestrial ecosystems in the past on the Bahamas, and Dominican Republic, and were also found even in the Cayman Islands as well and used to hunt black bear sized ground sloths in the Dominican Republic and other islands, and hunt in packs. Regarding the terrestrial nature of the Cuban crocodile, a paper studying the bones of Cuban crocodiles from the blue holes in the Bahamas, looked at the stable isotopes found in the bones of these Cuban crocodile fossils, and they found that Cuban crocodiles were living in a terrestrial food web rather than aquatic. The paper is called “domination by reptiles in a terrestrial food web of the Bahamas prior to human occupation.” Also in another paper called. “The Cuban Crocodile (Crocodylus rhombifer) from Late Quaternary Underwater Cave Deposits in the Dominican Republic“ They have many adaptations namely there tall deep broad skull long recurved compressed teeth, crooked bite margins, heavily keeled limbs and many osteoderms, shorter rounder tail, long very powerful legs and arms. And are capable of preforming a rotary and transverse gallop! The ones at the guama crocodile farm have the most important genetics, having the most terrestrial features, and more expressed features, and the ones at the guama croc farm have Insane squamosal horns, looking very much like a living voay robustus. Cuban crocodiles are the closest modern analogy to quinkana, and other terrestrial mekosuchines, sebecids, and Planocraniids. Also the best way to conserve the Cuban crocodile would be to selectively breed the ones for the guama croc farm which have the most genetic diversity and terrestrial genes having the longest limb proportions, agility, speed, and morphological features. And Eventually starting a rewilding reintroduction plan into terrestrial landscapes they once’s inhabited like the Bahamas, but they would first need to reintroduced the other key stone species like Hutia rodents, rock iguanas, red footed and yellow footed tortoises, flightless rails, and so forth. There has actually been talks, plans of reintroducing Cuban crocodiles back into terrestrial landscapes of the Bahamas it was in an article called “rewilding reptiles to eco engineer the anthropocene.” Also Cuban crocodiles from the guama crocodile farm stock would also be a good taxon substitute for the terrestrial ziphodont land crocodile quinkana of Australia. On a final note they found another new ziphodont land crocodile in Australia Pleistocene age, related to quinkana but with a well preserved skull and is yet to be published, the preview paper is called “A new ziphodont eusuchian from the Pleistocene of Queensland, and implications for Australasia's ziphodont crocodylian diversity” also there is the likely hood of finding a terrestrial mekosuchine crocodile, which would gain the title as the most terrestrial modern croc found persisting today. Also thanks again for these epic, informative, and incredible Videos! hope to see more like this in the future 👍
