Phylum Kinorhyncha: Microscopic Mud Dragons
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 бер 2024
- The next phylum of Ecdysozoa that we will examine is Kinorhyncha, and it's another microscopic one. These creatures are called mud dragons, and they have a very interesting anatomy. They externally segmented and have a retractable head, or introvert, as well as other interesting features. Let's get a closer look!

Microscopic Mud Dragons will be the name of my psytrance music project.
I was gonna use it for my tecno death metal turbo extreme hybrid punk album you bet me to it
It's truly extraordinary just how many ubiquitous organisms there are around the world that aren't well known outside of science communicators/educators & scientists within certain biological sub-disciplines...
*"Mud Dragons" (Kinorhyncha)* look like they had evolved way back in the *Cambrian Period,* as they closely resemble the worm-like organisms responsible for the *Cambrian Substrate Revolution.* (+) If so, then their morphology hasn't significantly diverged from their ancestors for over 500 million years (as they've apparently found an extremely stable niche in digging 'round through the mud of the seafloor).
(+) - Where tiny worm-like organisms penetrated & churned up the anoxic substrate which had previously been sealed below bacterial biomats, triggering important evolutionary radiation & diversification.
hooray, zoology!
Okay, we need a dog sized tardigrade
Fascinating little creatures. Thank you!❤
Thank you for such good vedios
Shai-Hulud is an alien gigantic mud dragon
Thanks Dave.....cool little guys.
They are so cute.
I was wondering wtf were those shrimp in the porsche
Thanks Dave. I think most of my brain cells were in dire need of that sex Ed lesson at the end there
hi professor could you please do more of geometry in maths i ddint find algebraic portion of geometry in your all of maths playlist it would do wonders to many students as im also a victim to this portion of mathematics 😭?
Best explanation
Microscopic mud dragons is a great name for a band
Okay, I always wished I had a retractable head like a turtle.
I wished I could hide in sediment my entire life
@@eggspm that sounds so peaceful
Roger from mud fossil University would be interested in this dragon 👀
Sound like you're just reading a script, you must be CLUELESS! lol, I'm just kidding! little James tour humor for ya. great video thank you!
yeah.... but what about the earth being flat? Keep doing great work to educate all.
Ummm... Professor Dave, eyes are too complex to evolve. Dont show a basic eye that shows the start of eye evolution. Lol😊
🤦
@@Andres-nu3xh you do get I was joking about the eyes, right. That's what creationists say. This thing has light sensitive cells in its eyes which is one of, if not the first, steps in the evolutions of eyes.
True though
