This Snail Goes Fishing With a Net Made of Slime | Deep Look

[@NewMessage]

As a lifelong couch potato, I think I just found my spirit animal.

[@hiddenguy67]

[@ShirokumaSama]

Get on it level and find yourself a net 😏

Relatable content

[@DocMartn253]

So you hock a loogie into the kitchen, in the hopes that the force of its projection opens the refrigerator door and as you retract it back, you bring back a beer and nachos?! DOPE!!! 😉😀😄😁😆😅😂🤣😭

[@TimesRyan]

Aww.🥔 & 🐌

[@dragondraems42]

This is one of my favorite channels, it's rare to see such high quality macroscopic documentary footage on youtube, especially of inverts. I appreciate all your hard work!

[@KQEDDeepLook]

Wow, thank you!

[@KQEDDeepLook]

🐌💕🐌Hi Deep Peeps! We're getting a lot of questions about how these snails reproduce. We checked in with a snail researcher, and here is the answer: "Being stuck to a rock can pose some challenges when it comes to reproducing. Scaled wormsnails have separate sexes. Males package sperm into elaborate spermatophores which look like inflated bags. They secrete the spermatophores into the water where they are caught in a female’s feeding net. When the female punctures the bag with her radula the sperm bursts out of the bag and makes its way into the female snail’s reproductive tract. That’s where they make contact with her eggs. The female keeps the fertilized eggs in her shell with her until they are ready to make their way out into the ocean. The baby snails spend their youth as plankton traveling along with the water currents until they eventually settle on a hard surface and begin growing their distinctive shell. Once a scaled wormsnail picks a spot, it stays there for the rest of its life."

[@mariykaauber1743]

That is wild. Thank you for following up and sharing!! 🐌

[@chilicats]

Rad!

[@vivekshegokar6568]

Wow! This is "being lazy" on another level 😂

[@callystarizka-tata7892]

It's look like slug reproduction

[@TimesRyan]

It hadn't even occurred to me to consider that they're stationary and would require a different reproduction strategy than land snails. Thanks everyone who asked and to the 'Deep Look' peep who got the information for us!

[@tgnm9615]

Deep Look always have the feeling of "bubbly" and "bouncy" in the scripts! Its so fun to hear Laura narrates it while watching the high quality footage :D

[@__.AV.__]

I can already hear ZeFrank explaining the mucus net in relatable terms. "Imagine sitting in the movie theater and sneezing all over your popcorn. Now, instead of wiping your nose, just slurp it all up, popcorn and all. And maybe if you're lucky, you'll slurp up some of your neighbour's skittles too. Now that's what I call sucking up to the neighbour's, not that they'll see it like that." I swear this could easily be a thing he says if this was his video, I love that dude

[@Aasifkhan-np3qm]

A big thanks to the Deep look team for this upload and a special thanks to Laura for an amazing narration😊

Honestly I think that Deep Look is one of the best channels inside KZbin, the narrative never gets dry, the quality (sound effects, camera takes, format, enviroment, etc.) is just so great, it's really one of my favourite channel, great job to the Deep Look team!

[@Blooming_dangerkit]

I love this channel, it teaches me a lot 😊😊😊

[@KQEDDeepLook]

Happy to hear that!

[@Blooming_dangerkit]

[@Rantsack]

So cute! It's like the snail is shy. 🥰

[@kevinbourne4411]

There is(are? idk if multiple species are involved) a similar species given the label of "vermetids" that's a problem pest for the saltwater reef hobbyist community. They live and feed in the same manner. They're a pest because depending on the tank conditions, they can absolutely explode in numbers. Their tube shells aren't pretty to look at. Another reason for their pest status is their mucus nets can annoy corals by touching them- corals are not fans of being touched, ha. If annoyed enough, they can start to decline in health by being constantly forced into closing up- they need to open up for photosynthesis and feeding.

[@TheGreegles]

How do you get rid of them? Is it even possible to without destroying the tank?

[@The_KingDoge]

​@TheGreegles predators, chemicals, or long term intensive manual removal

[@KartikChauhan__KC]

Just need to grab myself a net for foraging food items from the fridge and i will be practically indistinguishable from this snail.

[@KQEDDeepLook]

Sounds like you are perfectly adapted for our environment.

[@benslusher1698]

Your content is so educational and fun! Every video gets better and better! The clarity and narration is spot on!

I honestly believe that I have seen and read an unhealthy amount of animal trivia and information but this channel keeps teaching me mew stuff its super rare for me thank you

[@KQEDDeepLook]

You are so kind, thanks.

[@crimsonfirelily]

I never knew those were snails. That's super interesting! I just thought they were worms. 😂 Thank you Deep Look! That's so cool! 💜🥰✌

[@KQEDDeepLook]

They are!

[@Kuwagumo]

I never heard about this snail before. Awesome video!

[@CONCEALEDINALIMITLESSBARRIER]

Once you upload it teaches my mind lots of stuff thank you its very fascinating but i hope you upload more frequently, but its probably long to edit so take your time! :)

[@charliepea]

Love the little flute everytime there's a little creature stuck, like the ones in 2:30 and 2:57

[@vjthemad4852]

Thank you for the fantastic narration Laura, beautiful voice!

[@TheOnlyGecko]

The first chapter of my PhD was on this group of snails, glad to see they're getting recognition! Some species host parasites that can end up in turtles!

[@JedediahCyrus]

Didn't have "mucus based hunting" on my what I learned in 2023 bingo sheet.

[@snowballeffect7812]

I'm assuming they regurgitate their waste? How are the shells made? How do they procreate?

[@devonhill9099]

That’s incredible!!! It’s basically a convergent equivalent of a barnacle!!!

[@KQEDDeepLook]

Snarnicle?

[@Blooming_dangerkit]

I love that joke!

Awesome~👍 Thank you for sharing this video~🤗

[@justinjyeung]

Now this makes me curious about how they reproduce, considering how sedentary they are :o

[@cookiepuka9300]

Question: how do these specific snails reproduce? Other snails can find each other but these snails are sedentary so how do they do it?

[@eugenetswong]

I would also like to know.

[@nuip7936]

broadcast spawning maybe

[@eugenetswong]

@@nuip7936It turns out that the channel found out for us 2 months ago. Browse around on this page until you find it.

[@темныйангел-н3я]

like flowers, or by slime

[@BrockLeonard]

These close ups are great! Have these all over my saltwater tank.

[@soogymoogi]

I work with fish and I've cut my hands on their shells a few times. I have a new appreciation for them after this

[@edisonlewis8314]

What do Deep Look and Nickelodeon have in common? Both have this weird fascination with slime

[@lightup6751]

This snail literally is so comfortably lazy it throws out a net from it’s home to eat outdoor food

[@unknownpain2215g]

but how do they breed? i can't help but wonder how do they breed?

Glad I saw the part about "love darts" at the end before I fwd'd this to the grandkids. Otherwise, this would have been great to share.

[@chezmoi42]

If your grandkids have slugs or snails in their yard, they surely already know. I know I saw that phenomenon by the time I was in third grade.

A snail that lives like a tube worm and basically hunts like a spider. And people say the platypus is weird.

[@greenbeevideo765]

I'd never heard of these! They aren't in the "Whelks to Whales" field guide (my favorite), and yet they are possibly found on my local beaches (Washington State). How do you tell them apart from tube worms during low tide when everybody is sequestered down in the tubes?

[@carlosg7497]

Cool video, and even better music.

[@DreamDaddie]

How easy our lives would be just to sit back, cast a net, and catch our food. Think I’ll cast a net for a good corn dog if I had the chance.

[@blumac9801]

I've got one of these in my reef tank. Scared me at first but I quickly realized that it was using this mucus to catch food. I'd come back an hour later and the net would be gone, only for it to reappear the next hour.
