What Is A Pinecone Fish?

- I found a pinecone fish in my collection, and it has the strangest scales of any fish I've ever seen.
Become a member for exclusive tours of my collection!
Specimen use made possible by the University of Michigan Museum of Zoology.
His voice sounded so cute at 4:07 😭❤️
Really love the way you present your content - super fun and really captivating. I love watching you, my nephew loves watching you and now I have my dad hooked! Really universally enjoyable and interesting
Residency? Hell yea, more time to get your hands on the collection! Can't wait to see more bizarre species!!!
Why does the music make so magical
What type of scientist are you?? seems pretty cool what you do.
I believe he is a zoologist. Zoology or a marine biologist (study of fish)

Watch his QnA you'll find the answer
Marine biologists don't all study fish btw, stop spreading misinformation
@Cooper Tallant you can use punctuation to make your comments readable :)
NO GLOVES?
I want to go there and see for myself😮
Isn’t the fact that fish are so diverse a reason for scientist to believe they aren’t all evolutionarily connected, or at least not closely connected
"fish" as a taxonomic category does not exist. very often we are more closely related to them than they might be to each other. so yes, they are not all closely connected
Woww, those shelves are so spaced out!!
Hmm....what is the difference between the collection in this video and the others? Because I see you are gloveless while touching the specimen 🤔🤔🤔
What is the liquid the specimens are contained in? And won't it damage them if you take it out?
One label said "N= 1 Alc, 0 C&S, 0 SK"
I think that means there's one specimen in the jar, preserved in ethanol, none 'cleared and stained' (as in e.g. dyed tissue samples) and none "SK" (which I don't know what that stands for). Not sure whether this labelling tells us about formalin injections prior to a switch to ethanol (or isopropanol, another commonly used alcohol).
Since the ethanol will evaporate off the fish without damaging it and any bacteria require time to settle on the sterile specimen, I don't think taking it out of the alcohol for a short time causes any problems.
Ethanol but they also use formaldehyde sometimes I have a baby cow in a jar that's literally from the thirty's
no, the skin becomes like leather.
@@natdizzle4259A cow?! How big is that jar.... 😅
Absolutely amazing!!!
Man I keep forgetting not to watch this channel while eating.
Came here from tiktok. This is amazing.
Your videos are really interesting. I love them. (New subscriber )
Just curious, is it legal for you to hold those specimens with your bare hands without any gloves?
Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Usually, he wears gloves when handling specimens
Scutes like the turtle shell?
I think natural history museum is a heaven for me, right now I don’t memorize names or scientific names of specimens/creatures but I recognized most of them. But if I were in there I think I really will memorize them all! 😊
A fly just bit me as i was watching your vids
Is it safe to touch it without gloves on?
I wonder if fish evolved to be so many different shapes and sizes primarily because they don’t have to worry about gravity. Gravity is such a constraint on land animals; we can’t just evolve extravagant structures to carry around, they would drastically reducing out survivability
Hate to be that guy, but gravity does affect fish and everything else under the sea. As you move deeper, the water pressure increases due to the water being pulled down by gravity. The ones that are deep deep down in the ocean are just used to that amount of pressure.
On the porcupine fish, are they scales or osteoderms?
what is the name of your profession?
Part of fish jaw can also super modified into hearing organ
Any chance we could learn a bit more about scorpions or geckos? Thank you, love the videos😁
That fish is a mix between a pinecone and a pirhana
They eat these armoured fish in japanese restaurants with a fair amount of price.... Seen chefs / cooks having a hard time preparing them.
Damn..... U gotta wear gloves bro. Interesting stuff
Since they're going back into the alcohol, that might not be necessary.
I love your channel
Wonder what they smell like 🤔
Fish teeth are terrifying
What do you do exactly? Like what's your job and the aspects if it because it seems cool
I thought the plural of “fish” was just “fish”
It is, unless referring to several different species of fish.
if its multiple fish of the same species, the correct plural is just fish. if they're from different species, it's fishes. no clue why
American English say Fish. British English say Fishes.
two countries divided by a common language.
Go Blue!
Its not a placoderm though, correct? Since they went extinct at the Permian.
Show a Anglerfish please
I want to here about the opabinia
interesting
Hand gloves exist!
Why aren't you wearing gloves?
he's not wearing gloves a year ago
Wait, do you have the shoebill stork skull?
do you get to keep the specimens
are they custom jars
You know, this fish can glow? They are bioluminescent. If they are alive...
Ah so no more breaking and entering from this point on in his videos
Creature scientist may be I don't know
Do a frogfish
if this museum were in VietNam, it would be a alcohol shop
I wanna be ur parter
Take a drink from one of the forbidden jars
K,,
Frist
ok
ok
Ok
Ok
"frist"
did that say it was collected in 1929?! that is insane. I love your channel!! could we see some of the oldest specimens? 🩵🩵
I saw an eagle or a hawk in one of the even older videos collected in
1912 fucking insane
