"Parasite that lives in side your partner" that probably describes more than a few unhealthy relationships
notsew00: ua-cam.com/video/Vm-NW1RwPY8/v-deo.html
also describes the process of having a baby
Calling it "parasitic" is wrong here anyway because both sexes benefit from it.
@@M0rtanius but man tomb was apt
wrgg
"Stays in its burrow and only comes out to reach for food then returns" *i feel attacked*
Do you also keep a bunch of male partners trapped in your house, and only give the minimal food, for the sole purpose of mating with you?
seems like in the easiest of times, people revert to their primal needs only. Youre forgetting endless masturbation that makes it all worse.
why? you volunteering? haha
@@SilentBudgie What would be wrong with this?😕
I mean in a pandemic, it really helps to live that way, doesn't it? ^w^
*sorry I only date guys that at least are 10 times my mass*

What low standards, I won’t even look at any that’s not 12 times my size.
Good luck with that. Lol
@@frankteng sounds like you're similar to Tinkerbell in her taste in men 😏
Me too.
I'm just imagining the stickleback is constantly salivating whenever he sees the eggs. And then he's like, "No! No! Can't eat the eggs! Can't eat the eggs! Can't... eat... the eggs... Damn it!"

Love how it needs a bigger brain because the urge is so great
Yeah, it's big brain time
I snorted
hes not actually fanning the eggs that's just him changing his mind between each fin stroke haha

Welp, time to hit the gym.
You are absolutely everywhere. I see you on Skallagrim's channel and now I see you here.
How heavy are the dumbbells you lift？
low weights and high reps are good

Samantha Thurmond - I’m imagining those really skinny, stick thin guys who fancy those seriously large lovely women to roll over them repeatedly.... must’ve been Angler fish in past lives.
Oh wow that moa fact is incredible! When humans arrived on NZ they would've probably hunted the biggest Moas first. This of course would have devastated the moa population way more than if it was the males who were the biggest
You always have to adapt to the strongest S tier animal that exists. If you don't you'll get taken out

"man tomb"
i-
You don't know how many males I have stored in my man tomb
can i see your man tomb andrew
Man tomb is just another word for a dominatrix’s sex dungeon
Male sticklebacks getting ready to breed: aight this is BIG BRAIN time
GIVE US THE BLOOPERS!!!
Holofish Hehe yeah
Kinda makes you wonder how many "different" dinosaur species are actually the same, just male and female.
wasn't stygimoloch considered a separate species from pachycephalosaurus for the longest time only for paleontologists to realize stygimoloch and dracorex were probably female or juvenile pachycephalosaurus
I don't know about sex, but there is a theory that many of the smaller dinosour species are actually juvaniles of the larger ones. Which isn't so far fetched, when you realise how long it took us to figure out that all of the life stages of eels actually belonged to the same species.
Probably not that many, since you can tell a lot about the sex of a dinosaur from its bone structure, not to mention the dinosaurs of the same species that we have found both male and female specimens of. However, it wouldn't be far fetched to say this could be the case in some places, and there is a lot we are still learning about them.
As an aspiring botantist, the mechanisms flowers use to just *punch* pollinators with pollen amuses me to no end. Prayer plants (Maranta) have a similar mechanism.
Had me smiling at that great tit joke for almost the rest of the episode.
"And you can't solve problems or make good decisions if your thought train is constantly being derailed."
Why you gotta call me out like this, man?
Her man-tomb xD
Eclectus parrots are pretty extreme too. For a long time they thought it was 2 different species. She is red and blue while he is green and red. They are also polygamist the males have 4 to 5 girls on the go and the females have 6 to 7. This insures that if one parent dies there is more to take their place. The females also spend 9 months of the year in their tree hollows while the boys go out to find food and feed their girls. So she must be bright so her mates can see her while the boys have the duller plumage so that they can blend in with the ground better so as not to get eaten.
I completely lost it on this one. Great writing.
Seconded!
And so enthusiastically performed! Bravo Michael!
Can anyone just picture Hank doing this one?
I like mating with the beachmaster because he's the largest
alright you win best comment ever
"Man tomb" - And that's why we like SciShow.
Man tomb lmaoooo
I was good, and then he said man-tomb. Dead.
I’m not sure who coined the term “reverse sexual dimorphism” but I don’t think it’s accurate since sexual dimorphism applies for both sexes, doesn’t matter which one is bigger, if they have significant differences there is sexual dimorphism.
Thought the exact same thing.
It's coined reversed probably because in the the beginning it was thought to be male first only
Patriarchy
So female Moa's over here was the Tall Girl
...and then some.
@Brook Heyes Why except?
that movie is the most "first world problems" movie ever
The information and humor in this episode was great.
This has to be my fav scishow video. So classic Michael's energy is 'absolutely fabulous' lol
Can someone turn 4:03-4:08 into a meme or gif it really got me
Other animals: "GET THEM GAINS"
Sticklebacks: "BRAIN POOOWAAAAAAAAHHHH"
Elephant seal is like: Survival of the fattest
"...if you can get over the whole parasite that lives inside your partner thing." Please, you underestimate my experience with hentai good sir.
It seems that "by Design" every individual lifeform perceives itself as the center of their perceived universe.
Pff, not dogs. Dogs see us as the center of the universe.
Maybe our egocentric pespective is just another stage in our intellectual development we're yet to transcend?
"Androecium" sounds like a really nerdy man-cave.
Isn't "parasitic codependent relationship" an oxymoron? afaik parasitic means, by definition, that the host gains nothing and/or is harmed by the relationship.
Parasitic: male takes nutrients from the female. Increasing his survival fitness while decreasing hers (granted, not a whole lot).
Codependent: For their genetic fitness to be complete however, they need each other to create a next generation.
Given their environment: their best chances are to stick together even though he's a blood-sucking leech and she takes away all of his free will... all to fulfill the urge to make babies... *Leaves quietly to reflect on past relationships*
@@eriknicholas7294 well that got personal lmaoo
so for Catasetum Orchids, you could almost say the bees are the 3rd biological sex: the pollinator, whose gender role is to deliver the seed from the male to the female, because neither the male or female Catasetum Orchid are able to move... an essential task in their species' reproductive system!!!
This would be great animated, showing the different behaviors/conditions for these organisms.
they must be extreme jeans if they can fit a huge male elephant seal
Who else started singing "Gonads and Strife" when he said gonads?
_Weeeee!_
Yes!!
This was released just in time for my animal behavior final. Gave me a break from the boring task of rewriting notes
SciShow, why would you teach me about 'great t*ts' and not expect me to use this term relentlessly now?
1:41 this is probably one of those cutest vicious battles i've ever seen,.. have i not known how it usually ends.
How does it end..? O.O
@@owlblocksdavid4955 In the Elephant Seal hospital, where they sip tea, hug and apologise to each other.
@@msr98111 which in adult, translates to a blood soaked rock, with flesh, viscera and blubber all over? Because that looks like it would take serious time.
I personally disliked the repeated misuse of the term 'parasite' here. Yes, on the face they have some traits of a parasitic relationship, and yet in both cases the female benefits as well by having a ready supply of genetic material to fertilize her eggs. 'Parasite' typically indicates one organism (generally unwillingly) benefiting at another's expense without contributing to the relationship. Other than that, another great video.
Parasitic under the "survival" scope. The male takes nutrients without offering her any assistance with survival.
The male only seemingly becomes "symbiotic" at the end under the "evolutionary" scope... Otherwise his sperm isn't helping the host organism stay alive.
@@eriknicholas7294 Very true, very true. Though one could argue whether the males even truly survive, particularly in the case of anglerfish. Dissolution down to a few stray organs seems somewhat fatal. But then again, it still ensures the survival of the male's sperm at the female's expense. It's hard to lump these relationships into any real category since both parties get pros and cons from their biological imperatives. As always, the diversity of reproduction is so very weird and fascinating.
Scientist: "Look! I just made a nice, comfortable box that we can organize things into!"
Nature: "... Nice try, but have you seen this?"
Scientist: "Would you PLEASE stop thinking outside of our boxes?!"
This promotes unrealistic body expectations. How am I supposed to become ten times larger than my partner?
The largest male elephant seal is also called the "beach master!"
"Fluffy B E A N "
Sex changes everything lol
...and sex changes, change even more.
Amazing, not only what nature does to insure the survival of a specie, but I truly enjoyed the way the video was explained. Excellent really enjoyable bit of knowledge.
Honestly so happy when Michael is on Sci show. He’s my favorite 😊
"Three Spined Sticklebacks" sounds like a great name for a rock band...
I'll do it
3:45 that was really well done lmao
4:05 - I probably would've been more taken aback and needed to do a double-take during that part if I didn't have a video I was editing literally in the next window where I made a very similar pun with that very bird.
Dude imagine if your job was to just sit around and fertilize eggs all day
Isn't that what some doctors do and what breeders indirectly do?
Sinchoronizing between audio and subtitles in this video is almost perfect ; that is very important to me because I’m not english spoken. From Venezuela.
Thanks
So you're saying that being big, smart, and handsome will get you all the ladies?
Yeah, you're probably right.
Damn nature, you freaky!
I would love a vid on human dimorphism.
Gives a whole new meaning to spooning
This guy is super cute... Plus you know, he's smart, which is totally attractive.... Guess I'm one of those fish that likes guys with big brains 😅😅
This is an amazing primer for the handicap principle!!!!!!!! Excellent writing and presentation.
Man... I have such a crush on Michael Aranda 😭❤️
Hey, I'm 1/800th of my wife's size and I live in her uterus. Is that not normal for humans?
Micheal was the perfect choice for this one. 😂
So in New Zealand dere usta be dese BIG-ASS birds, but now dere aint any Moa left?
Jerry: I'm a parasite
Wrong type Jerry, wrong type
This is really neat, what about male orangutans? They get phalanges SOMETIMES, like in a case where a Zookeeper was seen as an Alpha to one male and as the Zookeeper left on vacation the Orangutan developed phalanges. Interesting stuff. Crazy to think that just like us, they’re great apes.
Phalanges?
Dan cheek pads is a more colloquial way of saying it
@@HalfBit360 thx!
Now this is getting more into the ideas of social epigenetics. Really cool and fascinating stuff.
Switching parts of our genes on and off in reaction to our social environment. Like the spoon worm figuring out if it should develop into a male or a female, but not as extreme.
Not sure how research has progressed, but there was a lot of talk of similar genetic reactions in humans. Maybe it could explain things like how we can make ourselves depressed just by the way we think.
E.g. On the outside you're successful, popular and loved. But if you believe the opposite, you trigger genes that are associated with under heavy stress and threat. Then you become depressed.
Funniest episode in years lmao
Female chinchillas are usually almost double the weight of male chinchillas, and tend to be more aggressive and Bold.
Love my chinnies!
It might be nice to have a video about animals that experience protandry/protogyny. Sex changes in nature are always really interesting.
And there are still some people who say there's no evidence for evolutionary theory (or as they often butcher it, evolutionism or even evolutionaryism. Yes, I've heard it, and numerous other displays of ignorance).
9:29- so human females are the size of 800 grains of rice?
Nice video though, very entertaining. PS I have a male and female anglerfish in a jar in my bedroom that I collected on a pelagic ecology cruise. Anglerfish are so cool, and I thought of them immediately when I saw the title of this video.
mate and free apartment for the male spoon worm, awesome
Could listen examples all day
4:05 Eye see what you did there, lol 🤣🤣🤣
All of these sounds like Humans in Generals
I can't take elephant seals seriously
You should find a colony of them and pick a fight with the alpha male. Show him who's boss.

I can't believe you forgot about Nidoking and Nidoqueen
Nice video! Earned my like, but I'm surprised they didn't include sexual dimorphism in lions. Besides the mane, males are 30-50% heavier than lionesses and have disproportionately larger heads
Thought you might find this video about a female lion with a mane interesting:
ua-cam.com/video/HcvRM4oqCAY/v-deo.html
That's not terribly unusual for mammals.
Which is ironic, because they don't hunt. They just fight other lions and have babies.
@@bluejay9656 Which the excessive size is more suited to, so it's not ironic at all.
@@jacquejac1840 I was going to mention the group of lions that controls more land by appearing to have more males than they do, a lot of their females look male.
Spoon worms don't have to worry about their mate cheating on them.
90s commercial voice: X-TREME GENES!
These Videos are in direct conflict with my sleep.
And one of the strangest mating rituals: humans, staying with one mate and usually only having one set of offspring. However recently, almost more than half of these couplings fall apart and the mates leave each other
It's not that strange, lots of animals mate for life but can have multiple partners if they 'break up' or one passes away. For instance species of penguins, ravens and eagles and other birds, it's very common. Many animals also invest heavily in very few offspring usually having one at a time that they keep with them for long periods, like elephants and dolphins.
That's not a recent thing. The idea of monogamy being a lifelong commitment is very new. Most relationships last between 1-7 years. Because that's how long it takes for a baby to be born and learn to run from predators. Humans weren't designed for monogamy, we have a strong sexual desire, even when pregnant. Which implies sexual behavior more similar to bonobo monkeys. Which form relationships easily, and have sexual relationships when ever, with who ever, for as long or as short as they feel like.
@@aviendha1154 Monogamous people have better statistical outcomes, and so do their children.
"..The bird.. obviously.. " yeah.. of course.
I cannot keep up with all the side stories here.

Loved this video! Strange animals facts are my bread and butter
Amazing. I've always thought about this, and how it can be possible to diverge to that extreme
Yep, that's "Runaway selection"! It was in my Ecology final... Don't forget it like I did! I lost a point calling it 'exaggerated evolution'.
@@eriknicholas7294 lol. Don't worry. It's not going to come up in a test for me. It's amazing to me
These sound like fictitious stories made up by kids.
Our diverse world is so wonderfully crazy! Gotta love it!
*reads title*
This should be an interesting comment section 😂
"People who produce sperm" hmm if only there was a 3 letter word for that... Oh yeah, men.
"People who produce sperm" is shorter then "binary and nonbinary people who produce sperm" and way shorter than listing individual genders.
@@evem6154 why leftists confuse social roles (men vs women vs non-binary) with biological roles (male homo sapiens and female homo sapiens)?
