Fun fact: the giant bivalve Pinna nobilis of the Mediterranean makes such a big, luxurious beard that it's called sea silk, and has been used to spin fabric like silk!
I am always so blown away at the footage captured by you guys! I hope more behind the scenes content gets posted, because not only do i love these videos, but i love seeing how they are made!
I absolutely adore bivalves! Such amazing and easily overlooked creatures. They're like Brita filters for the ocean. I love anything to do with biomimetic engineering, so every time you spotlight a cool thing in the nature that we might be able to use as inspiration it really gets my brain juices flowing. :3 Alas, materials science was not my calling, but I love what I do anyway. Did you hear about the research being done on using tinder fungus as a potential replacement for plastic?
I always wonder the biology of these crustacean creatures such as muscles, clams and barnacle. I always saw them being in a single place and not moving whenever being disturb. Very interesting to learn more about them on Deep Look!
@@sagaramskp barnacles actually are crustaceans! They have a shrimp like body inside their shell! You can see it in the Deep Look video about acorn barnacles. Mussels and clams ARE mollusks though
It's really fun to see all of these things I learned about in biology from lectures and textbooks. Much more vivid to see the animals alive as they do their stuff.
We have a lesson called biotechnology in 12th grade and this is exactly what they told us as an example for future reference of biotechnology. Love this channel ♥️
What I've learned: have dainty useful feet and grow a really strong beard and you'll make amazing bonds in your community! thank you for the life lessons!
There has been a lot of interest in our fugus episodes lately... I wonder why 🤔. We did do an episode on a fungus that controls the minds of ants: ua-cam.com/video/C2Jw5ib-s_I/v-deo.html
@@EngelSpiel the psychedelic one is American and infects only adult magicicadas. It's also not a cordyceps. The one paras is based on is an edible cordyceps that infects cicada nymphs in Asia, it has no psychedelic properties.
So many beards and no barbershop. Jokes aside, I didn't get how the string gets out of the foot. Does it tap on a shell and then tap it on the ground? Like a spiderweb 🕸️
We studied the byssal threads in Molecular Biomechanics back in university. Incredibly strong but flexible materials that scientists are working on replicating, but we never covered how the mussel actually generates the thread in the first place. Fascinating footage as ever!
Flex glue nature version! I wonder if they remain in one spot in a whole life? & When do they stick themselves onto the substrate? While young or in early adulthood? An intriguing creature captured. Amazing as usual!
Hey Deep Look, one question if you're interested: What is your most favourite video you created on this channel? Which one are you proud of the most or something?
What if the want to move? Can they detach the threads?

@@KQEDDeepLook huh?
They don't move unless they absolutely require it. They don't "want".

@@duaneulkanov7129 yoo I’ve seen that vid before
Wait until nickelodeon hears about this!
But it's very endangered,I know because I almost got in trouble for playing with it as a kid xD
@@duaneulkanov7129 oh hey i remember watching that

Thank you, Marshall, we have some behind the scenes Shorts coming soon.
I love how this channel is not shellfish and shares knowledge with all of us!
Always!
@@KQEDDeepLook And you are so Adorable. 🥰
Badum tsss
it's a good day when you guys upload like you make the best high quality detailed vids❤
Thank you, utsav!
Can't get over how good of a voice actor Laura is. That delivery is flawless everytime. And what a voice. So good.
It really says a lot about how useful the ability to make silk is, since so many different types of animals evolved to do it.
New Deep Look video! Learns something new everytime I check them, thanks for the high quality videos as always.
Glad you like them, egg horse!

Couldn't agree more! Yes, there has been some interesting work around using mycelium as a base for a number of materials science experiments.

Molluscs. These are molluscs. Including octopus and squids, snails, clams.
Crustaceans are the crabs, prawns, lobsters and those teams
@@sagaramskp barnacles actually are crustaceans! They have a shrimp like body inside their shell! You can see it in the Deep Look video about acorn barnacles. Mussels and clams ARE mollusks though
True - here is our episode on barnacles: ua-cam.com/video/lfnkFxg1gMw/v-deo.html
i can’t look at the foot without thinking of a tongue 😭
truly fascinating though! shows you how that life on earth is already so alien and unique!
Thanks Tina, we caught ourselves calling it a tongue too sometimes, by accident, during production.
"Sticking together makes it harder for predators"
*That one mussel being eaten right next to their friends:* BRO
Yeah,bunching up is pretty useless,especially when they are human food.
@@naamadossantossilva4736 Not really. Less angles of attacks for preys, more chances to hurt yourself... it's not perfect, it's still the best tactic.

The scriptwriter deserves a raise or at least a bonus! Such a witty yet entertaining script u got there!

yeah yeah but that soundtrack fire tho 🔥🔥🔥🔥
The 3D rendering was so nice. The rest of the video was high quality as always! Great work!
I like that there is a new look on mussels week after Ze Franks True facts video
The best creator of UA-cam in my opinion
Thanks Tashin! We work hard on these videos so your praise means a lot.
Always asked myself how did they build the barbs. Love this channel
Thanks Raul!
What I've learned: have dainty useful feet and grow a really strong beard and you'll make amazing bonds in your community! thank you for the life lessons!
Absolutely!
Always good to hear your voice.
Never thought I'd be glued to my screen watching a video about muscles. Well done.
Hey deep, how about the psychedelic fungus next, the fungus that exclusively control cicadas. It's unique in my opinion.
There has been a lot of interest in our fugus episodes lately... I wonder why 🤔. We did do an episode on a fungus that controls the minds of ants: ua-cam.com/video/C2Jw5ib-s_I/v-deo.html
@@KQEDDeepLook perhaps because of Last of us series that makes people now interested to fungus 😂
Including me 🤣
You're likely referring to Cordyceps, right? I think the Pokemon Paras and Parasect are based on those.
@@EngelSpiel the psychedelic one is American and infects only adult magicicadas. It's also not a cordyceps. The one paras is based on is an edible cordyceps that infects cicada nymphs in Asia, it has no psychedelic properties.
@@Xinevlin the show was garbage
Genuinely one of the few applications of the shellfish pun actually works completely in context
It's a fine line.
I love this channel, please never stop
So many beards and no barbershop.
Jokes aside, I didn't get how the string gets out of the foot. Does it tap on a shell and then tap it on the ground? Like a spiderweb 🕸️
two days ago?
SogeMoge, thanks for being a Patreon supporter! The process is like injection molding; the foot unwraps the string before it is done hardening.
We studied the byssal threads in Molecular Biomechanics back in university. Incredibly strong but flexible materials that scientists are working on replicating, but we never covered how the mussel actually generates the thread in the first place. Fascinating footage as ever!
I love this channel so much
amazing how this good of content is free
It’s always nice to wake up to theses videos and learn cool things! :D
So informative and...and aah! The lovely voice! just amazing channel..lots of L❤VE
This is amazing! So happy that DeepLook exists 😊
Love the Humor at the end 🥰🤣😂🤣🥰
Always learning new things with a Deep Look video!
gosh i always love the music and sound design in these videos
Flex glue nature version!
I wonder if they remain in one spot in a whole life? & When do they stick themselves onto the substrate? While young or in early adulthood? An intriguing creature captured. Amazing as usual!
Why have I only just found this channel?! I loved this video, thanks for such great content ❤
Having stepped on these I can say they're incredibly SHARP
Always great to watch something educational
Disconnected and all alone? Yep, that’s me
Love everything about this video
Cheers Raymond! You've been with us a long time!
@@KQEDDeepLookfeels like yesterday lol
Amazing footage!! Hope more people appreciate these creatures than just considering as a food
DEEP LOOK I WATCH UR VIDS EVERYDAYY
Asusual it's the best Informatic video 🤗, thank you to make us to know about mussel 😉
Glad you liked it Tamil!
what would the world do/be without the enlightening oracle that deep look is :)
So I guess mollusks have a higher chance of growing a beard than me.
In my town the old sailors used to have fun telling teens that pigeon poop makes you grow a full beard
Super fascinating! Delicious...the quality and the organism...😅
Thank you 😋
Today, I learned about mussel beard. Never stop learning.
Wow that's amazing!!
Thank you! Cheers Kim!
@@KQEDDeepLook you're welcome I'm loving the channel so much!
That's glue must be very useful for aquarium and ponds, many aquarist hobbyst and any fishery or farm want it
Deep Look upload. Lets go!!
Ha ha... The puns at the end... so funny.🙄
Lol😆
0:01 what was that alternating thing below the foot
A barnacle. They extend their feathery "legs" into the water to filter out plankton to eat.
@@rustyshackleford9888 ok, thanks
reminds me of one of those flex glue commercials :
it is super strong, it even dries under water!🤣
what a delicious video. thanks deeplook
Thank you DL
Spider mussel does whatever a spider mussel does.
Great video!
yup, thats the best channel on youtube
As usual... nature is... AMAZING
Love this channel.. 😂 🙌🏿
My parents harvest them some times and fry them for soup. It’s very hard to get a muscle you must cut and pull and pull! Such a strong creature !
2:05 and what was that line near the mussel that broke off seconds later
The clongy shelfish joke my lady 👌
A new Deep Look video!
abyssal thread more like an rpg skill
Is Laura back? Always loved your narration :)
Yep!
They're like a community of mountain climbers or when mother nature accidentally installed a clam with spider hardware
I need a part 2 detailing how they get rid of unwanted attachments to move closer to friends or otherwise
This was the weirdest notification I've probably ever gotten from UA-cam
Thanks! We consider that compliment. We do it for science.
Wow I 😮all brand new learnings 🙌🏼
Any guy who's whacked it in the shower already knows we have glue that hardens underwater.
This is amazing!
Thanks, Chi!
They should've called the mussel the tendon instead.
I see what you did there.
How are these mussels not charged with public indecency yet?!
Hey Deep Look, one question if you're interested: What is your most favourite video you created on this channel? Which one are you proud of the most or something?
We truly do no have a single favorite! But let me consult with the producers.
@@KQEDDeepLook hehe, yes, which child do you love more? 😜
Quite a week for mussels. Yesterday Ze Frank and today DL and it’s only Tuesday 😅
We love Ze Frank!
Believe me or not i have watched all your videos
How do they even highlight the byssal thread so accurately
10/10 for that pun at the end😅
I love the puns... the really just.. *stick* together
Do you know if you touch will it retreat back
This is our fav. Dish in the Philippines. TAHONG 🤤😛
Imagine getting stuck with bad neighbours.
I guess the euphemism "bearded clam" is more than just a euphemism!
Amazing!
This wasn’t the bearded clam video I was expecting.
Mussels an bivalves seem to me almost like plants, almost motionless, but not quite.
These mussels are hairier than my dad's beard
Thought you were gonna say something else than "beard"
2:58 flex seal guy is probably taking notes
2:54
Does this make mussels the Phil Swifts of the sea??
3:24 those are good puns
I never even knew they had those beards, very interesting
Why the episode so small you can take 10 to 20 minutes for the any of them
Hi Rex- we film nearly all of our own footage, have original music and more. It takes 6-8 weeks to make each one. :-)
I like the puns at the end 😂
So if I understood this right, in our bodies, this material connects muscles to bones, but in the ocean, it connects mussels to rocks
I wonder how to capture this kind of footage :D
This Mussel is Spiderman
