  • And if you haven’t had enough ocean creature facts for one day, head over to listen to our new podcast episode “Deciphering the Mind of the Octopus” on Nebula. It will take you behind the scenes on what it’s like to take care of these mischievous animals. This is probably my favorite episode yet!

    • ​@@michaelmayhem350 also if you want to dive that deep here: Pure Water contains 10^-7 M of H^+ and OH^-(self-ionization of water). These ions can conduct electricity. So chemically pure water has an electrial conductivity of 0,055 μS/cm. Thats not good but still better than air I believe. But overall I think this isnt important for the point of the video :) Edit: @RealScience Your videos are all well made. Keep it up.

  • That footage of the finless shark plummeting to the sea floor was appalling. I'm incredibly glad you showed it, but it's appalling. I'm not outright against the killing of animals, but the combination of outright cruelty and waste is just mind bending. I struggle with how humans can so easily disconnect from certain realities (I struggle with how I see it in myself as well). A fisherman would know that these sharks would still be alive when they're thrown back in, if they just stopped to even think about what they're doing. If they're hellbent on wasting the rest of the shark, just slit the damn thing's throat before you throw it back, you sick fuck

    • Lobsters most definitely DO feel pain. Old (19th century maybe?) whalers reports mention the wailing moans and cries of agony as sperm whales were caught and processed on the ships, and that dealing with THAT was one of the hardest parts of the job. And for what? Fucking OIL to fuel fucking LAMPS. Thank god oil (petroleum) extraction and processing came right along, to fill the gap until eletric powered public and home lighting became a thing. Humans are capable of any atrocities given the right circunstances - against anyone, and everyone. And I’m pretty sure we committed most of them. And it doesn’t have to be much: it is not hard to imagine a fisherman ou whaler performing their job disconnected from the morality of it, just as a meat packing plant worker, for that most needed paycheck. We suck.

Fin out the surface, big fella... But we were on an intercept course. He came to within ~100 ft of the boat, then turned off to the west. He circled around, well behind our baits, and resumed his original course. I swear he had GPS.

  • Wonderful video and I appreciate the level of detail. You mention hydrodynamics in terms of lift, but not the incredible sideways maneuverability. The shape of the cephalofoil allows hammerheads to turn on a dime, faster than other sharks, which helps them hunt their erratic bottom-dwelling prey. I also suspect that having the ampullae of lorenzini spread out over a wider distance aids in directional sensing, the same way having two nostrils or two ears helps us determine what direction a stimulus is coming from. A hammerhead should be able to pinpoint the direction of the electrical signal with greater accuracy than a pointy-headed shark.

Like these things have survived everything, asteroid impacts, super volcanos, ice-ages, massive changes to their environments, and just about every other top-tier species the ocean can produce. With having endured all that, It's crazy to think that a bunch of anxious apes with fancy sticks are their biggest threat to date. Really puts into perspective how nature doesn't pick favorites.
