[@thomaswade3072]

Carbon offsets are a scam.

[@JiveDadson]

I love these videos. I would love them a lot more without the background music. C'mon, Hank.

[@LordSlag]

HA!! I'll reduce my carbon emissions to zero by DYING!! Don't look at me like that...the rest is the bacteria's fault! (srsly: not contemplating suicide, iz juzt joek)

[@technoman9000]

What do you have against carbon anyways, it's a perfectly respectable element.

"Defined by my butt"

[@BoobyWarfare]

Ahem..You forgot 'slightly' lmao

[@TheRogueWolf]

"I can't shake the feeling that someone is checking out my butt." - _Bryozoa,_ probably

[@murielvaillancourt3855]

I like it so much when you speak with a calm and soothing voice! It’s very appropriate for this mysterious and magical world of microcosmos. Thank you, Hank, for your work ❤❤❤

[@therealspeedwagon1451]

I’ve been watching this channel for a while and in the future I’d like to see a video on the Coleps. They’re one of the lesser known creatures but I see them a lot in the background all the time. Just any background creature seen often would be cool to have an entire video about

[@Nobody_Special310]

"What we're really here for is the anus..." I feel so understood.

[@Beryllahawk]

It's a minor miracle how Hank can say the word "butts" and not miss a beat or ruffle the smooth pace of the script. It is not at all a surprise that I, a totally mature adult, also giggled like a ten year old every time he did hehehe

[@rocketRobScott]

Practice makes perfect

[@Turalcar]

There's no telling how many takes that took

[@stephanieparker1250]

I love Hanks soothing, quiet voice.. like he’s recording this narration from inside his closet.. with the door closed. 😆🙌

[@lucianaevangelista6187]

😂😂😂

[@Eneov]

The music, the narration, the writing. *chef's kiss*

[@jrmckim]

I love this channel ❤️ My only problem is hank's smooth, calming voice putting me to sleep. Love you Hank!

[@RyanZerby]

This is one of my favorite ASMR channels..

[@caitlinburke5184]

This is what me and my 5 yesr old watch to fall asleep for thr last year ❤️

[@gebeleysis]

it's not a problem when it's a desired feature ;)

[@benitocamelas9144]

Love microcosmos, wish to could have this when I was a kid

[@pittypatterputzzler5311]

The narration is the best.

[@sciencenerd7639]

This is my favorite kind of content, info about critters you don't hear about too often!

[@valenesco45]

I SO LOVE these videos, the quality is just outstanding

[@TilmanBaumann]

In German we call corals Blumentiere (Flower animals) also a name I love.

[@mukhtar__]

this would make a killer Tangents episode!

[@Sidsidsids]

I love the microcosmos!

[@agate_jcg]

How do the specalized types of bryozoans in the colony share food? Corals have shared cell tissue connecting them but it looks like bryozoans are only connected by extracellular goo?

[@cerberaodollam]

Beating cilia creating currents in the goo maybe

[@bigbrady2244]

Informative, entertaining, comical. Nice job.

[@TheInescapableFen]

So bryozoa are taxonomized by their anus location. Humans are deuterostomes which means they, among other things, are taxonomized by when they develop their anuses. I'd be interested to hear what other animals are are taxonomized by their butts. I'd love for this to be a theme for a series of videos on any of the DFTBA Records' channels. Now you've piqued my interest and I'm off to go google butt holes!

[@misanthropichumanist4782]

Well, there are other animal clades diagnosed by (among other characteristics) lack of a butt, or secondary loss of it,¹ I believe... ¹ As in, the clade descended from ancestors with butts, yet lack that feature, themselves.

[@anggarkumoro7938]

So bryozoa are protostome

[@anggarkumoro7938]

Bryozoa is in the kingdom protista. Right?

[@jamestang1227]

​@@anggarkumoro7938 No they're protostome animals most related to brachiopods.

[@jayyydizzzle]

Bump because the algorithm has been mean to this channel

[@jayyydizzzle]

Def deserves more views

[@tree_relics]

Favorite episode so far!!

[@austinfreyrikrw6651]

So glad to know I'm a member of the ectoprocta. Pooping inside my own mouth is just not my thing. 😝

[@uss_04]

Finally really looking at all those microorganisms I used to study in school that I only saw in stained slides in the past.

[@ensrceler]

bryozoans are so weird that some *do* move. some of them use specialized zooids to move slowly, and thats pretty normal for a colony of little zooids. there's another kind though, with branches in its colony structure, and those branches have *joints*. it *walks*. very slowly, but thats still nuts

[@sum_rye_hash_321]

I never thought I would know so much about microscopic butts, Thanks JttM team!

[@fartzinwind]

starting my morning off with a video about the anus... good times

[@richfiles]

Username checks out.

[@MeRia035]

They are really cute!💜

[@Catastropheshe]

The mystery is built on butts 😂😂😂

[@yuvalne]

So a bryozoa colony is made of many individuals, each with its own unique and specialised roles, formed from a single individual and sharing its genetic material. Or in other words, it is a multi-multicellular animal animal.

[@mixload]

totally brilliant channel. thank you.

[@debgreen2140]

Girl, I know you write this and it looks like people want to hear your writing narrated by a man, but your readings are just as good and the especially good bits I like to imagine you narrating.

[@lumipakkanen3510]

So many untold butt jokes! Ze Frank collaboration when?

[@rocketRobScott]

How many cells make up a tardigrade? Their bear-claws freak me out.

[@MystMagus]

Almost thought this was a zefrank video for a moment.

[@eshafto]

Zoo-oid? Zo-oid? I rarely finish a JttM video more tense than I started.

[@Aaano]

Adorable tiny babs!

[@dogbee]

That was neat!

[@Wildernut]

How does one keep samples alive long enough to view? Many of my samples are dead or blown partially to bits.

[@NewMessage]

Some days, I know how they feel.

[@dan_asd]

What happened to this video? it only has 13k views since yesterday

[@v.prestorpnrcrtlcrt2096]

I love their eyelashes.

[@LexSwindlez]

I’m still mind blown that this is the same hank green from the sci-fi show lol

[@oliviamalerich462]

My boyfriend caught a colony of bryozoans when we were fishing once. It was pretty weird to see.

[@st1220music]

2:59

[@fatbeen]

This is what happened when you watch too much ZeFrank and also have a microscope.

[@maryroberts9315]

Statoblast sounds like a skateboard brand

[@DeepFrance]

Great video, I like bryos after watching it.

[@hy-longcat]

the only mobile bryozoans are _Cristatella mucedo_ and the few obscure solitary deep sea bryozoans.

[@itsdonaldo]

[@caboose345]

Just an idea, but what does a contact lense look like before and after being used under a microscope?

[@jessicaclakley3691]

So do coral polyps belong in the bryozoan family or are they something that has developed convergently similar features?

[@MandrakeFernflower]

Convergent evolution

[@LuisAldamiz]

Remind of barnacles a lot.

[@AakashKumar-gl2fk]

Nice title👏

[@limiv5272]

How big are the bryozoa colonies? It's hard to tell from the video

[@kellydalstok8900]

Around 1:45 you can see a hand holding a colony

[@limiv5272]

@@kellydalstok8900 Oh right, I somehow didn't notice the hand. Guess I was focusing on the colony. Thanks

[@ensrceler]

most of them are small, but there can be very large ones that are still being researched

I like magna procta and I cannot lie.

[@artmakersworlds]

But.... Butt Butt.... lol. Everything sounds more sciency if it's described in ancient Greek. Next time someone ticks me off, I'll call them an Ectoprocta. lol. (My auto spell check has that underlined. Guess they never programed Greek into Firefox. Bunch of Extoproctas.)

[@alexwixom4599]

If you don't have a butt, can you fart?

Just need a sphincter

Butt for sit. Sphinct for faarts
