    We humans have something cool in common with starfishes (and other echinoderms). Vertebrates and echinoderms are Deuterostomes, meaning that during embryo development we both develop the anus first and the mouth last while creating our digestive tract. So yeah, echinoderms are the closest relatives among invertebrates to vertebrates (not considering other chordates of course)

    • @Elidhion
      @Elidhion 9 місяців тому +10

      @@burner555 i don't really know if it has an adaptive meaning but it is probably linked to a cathegory of genes that control development in the early stages of life. It just happened that in some moment in life history (probably during Ediacaran period) the first group of deuterostomes started developing anus before mouth. As I said, it's hard to find an adaptive explanation to "why" anus first, what advantage did it gave to fitness, but it happened. (forgive my English, I'm not a native speaker)

    I have 3 old specimens of starfish, they appear to be the same species but 1 has 4 arms, 1 with 5 arms and one has 6 arms. When you look underneath you can see where the extra arms grew from especially on the 6 arm one as it lost it further from the mouth and the 5th and 6th arm grew from the same spot. Their teeth seem to cover their tube feet.

While in the process of getting more fish for it, we ended up with just a small, black, and spikey starfish (not sure which kind) and one fish that looked like Dory from Finding Nemo.

    Because I forgot aquariums exist for a minute, on one of my early ocean dives I got occupied by staring at starfish, waiting for them to move. My partner asked me wtf I was doing, and she reminded me on her slate that we can go watch them in huge tanks nearby where we wouldn't be relying on oxygen tanks.
    Hush, I'm a river otter. I specialize in fresh water.
