I really wish someone would have told 6 year old me that the "Poison" dart frogs at the zoo were actually harmless in that situation. After I found out that the pretty frogs were super deadly I was deathly afraid of the building they were in for years and would not go anywhere near their display.
@@roniusadethel9768 no its didn't feel as much as such, probably because we as a community had faith that such a vehemently asked for topic (read: every damn video lol) would have to be covered sometime in the future (wrt the time before that topic was done). So we were kind of expecting it and maybe desensitised of it (idk man im guessing an answer for a question that has no right answer). This episodes came out of the blue...
One year at my high school, his one meathead senior's quote was: "If you really are what you eat, then I'm a beaver. Funny how that works." This made it all the way through the yearbook editors and was printed in the yearbook. Until someone realized what he meant and the staff had to block out the quote in each yearbook with a sharpie. By hand. A few days before we could get them. For over 1000 books.
Couldn't the assassin bugs be using the ant shells (pun intended) as a breakaway armor that not only prevent predators from grasping onto them which would also teach predators not to go after the bugs with a large ant armor because it's likely they only get dead ants that are devoid of any nutritional value?
The stoplight dragonfish has actual first generation night vision goggles, but without the burning up if exposed to bright light bit. That's bloody cool.
The delivery of this video's content was so awesome that when he launched into the sponsorship segment with "I'm not very good at cooking" or whatever, I was genuinely expecting this SciShow video to be sponsored by HelloFresh - having totally forgotten that he mentioned that it was sponsored by SkillShare in the first few seconds of the video!
(Assassin bug 3:05) The bug looks much bigger this way. Even if the predator is large or daring enough, it will probably just catch an empty ant shell. And this bad reward for risk and effort ought to be the reason why spiders (and perhaps others) do not attack the bug.
The blue dragon nudibranch is one of my favorite weird little critters in the world. You totally forgot to mention that they float upside down! That's why touching one on what we would perceive as its 'back' is really dangerous -- that's where all the cerata are.
Wheeler Assassin bugs are the most fascinating creatures. They change their outer physiology several times, in a matter of just a couple weeks, and attack other insects, similar to the way preying mantises do. I kept some in a dry tank and fed them moths that got stuck in spider webs outside my house...they bite their heads off and drain their insides. 😓
"Look at my bright feet ladies- I'm healthy and can feed you." And flamingos? They also feed on some kind of shrimp that makes their feathers bright pink
Those nudibranchs are so cute, I used to pick up the ones that washed up and put them back in the ocean, they’re really squishy and pretty when they’re swimming around.
Now that I'm thinking about it... The video is about food.. at first I was like "oh wow, superpowers from food", then I was like, "wow bro, you gained some weight", then I was like "well you don't look too crazy fat, it's more like a normal weight gain for the winter", BUT then I was like " lol, this video is about food". You're awesome bro I love your videos!
Really thought #1 was gonna be the flamingo. That's the most well known. We all know flamingos get their carotenoids from the shrimp they eat. I'm so confused
Yeah regarding the bug corpse armor thing.... don't we also have similar thing? I mean, a lot of clothing items and other accessories that we wear are technically made from part of animal corpse that we eat right. More processed for sure but it's still corpse part. It's less in the modern times but see how many cow leather and other kind of animal that we use in shoes, bags, etc
Sometimes stuff like skin coloring is because of things you eat. For instance, sometimes because babies are fed so many carrots and sweet potato based food their noses turn orange. Now that's you are what you eat!
I had a friend drink so much carrot juice that he turned orange. He stopped only when at a goup event we told him that he was orange and brought this up. Everyone else in the group knew about this phenomenon.
Huh...didn’t go for the obvious pink flamingo... That’s better I guess, that would have made for a pretty short explanation: “So the flamingos are pink because they absorb a pigment from the shrimp they eat. The shrimps also got their pigment from what they ate in the first place. The end.”
so poison frogs can store the poison for YEARS as you say but ones in captivity (generally 1 to 3 years out of the wild) don't have them? idk if you've tried researching it but they stay toxic for over 15 years...
Every species is what they eat, that is they comprise what they eat. The only thing you are that isn't what you eat, is what you breathe and what your mom ate if you're young enough
So...poisonous organisms evolve bright colors because they don't have to worry about being preyed upon. Right? So, do organisms *tend* to develop bright colors but don't because stand outs tend to become prey?
Thanks! I suppose I'm forced to assume that the Blue-footed Boobies *_can_* see in color? Or do they judge by the darkness or paleness of each other's feet? Burning burning question! I'm just hopping around with my pale feet, waiting to know. The poison frog segment was *_much_* more thorough. Cool. The assassin bug segment [I know, I know: *_which_* segment - head, thorax, or abdomen? Ha ha.] reminded me of both Leather-face and the movie Mimic (especially at the end, where the people cover themselves in 'bug-parts-juice' to disguise themselves - & it works. The Emerald See Slug story is fascinating! I wonder what the chances are that we're witnessing a species right in the middle of evolving toward a true hybrid of plants & animals. Thanks again.

The host has gained a lot of weight very quickly. Maybe he is what he eats
This wonderful info that is educational and Positive without being overwhelming or or tedious.
LLLLLL
why did your hair color change ?!
1:32 "Look at my bright feet ladies, I'm healthy and can feed you" Absolutely marvelous XD
"You are what you eat"
I don't remember eating disappointment
It was the secret ingredient in that takeout mystery sauce.
brilliant 😂😂🤣
How is this both depressing and hilarious. XD
So me that it hurts
Same
I actually found thousands of those Blue Dragons on the shore of an Australian beach about 8 months ago, never seen anything like it. Great video
That happened to my friend and I a few years ago in NSW
Of course it has to be Australia
Yeah mate was at teewah beach on the east coast like 2months and there was litterally thousands up the beach
Of course Australia. Also the only place dinosaurs still exist
I've lifted the cell might have not broken it

Bpendragon Presents oof
I've been watching scishow for more than 2 years, this has to be the weirdest and the most awesome episode I've seen....
What about the hair around the anus thing?
@@roniusadethel9768 no its didn't feel as much as such, probably because we as a community had faith that such a vehemently asked for topic (read: every damn video lol) would have to be covered sometime in the future (wrt the time before that topic was done).

What about hank talking about the 5 most craziest chemicals.
Heehoo I've been speedrunning binging the channel

thank you to whoever edited Michael's head onto a booby
you're doing god's work
I thoroughly enjoy Michael's voice... "look at my bright feet ladies..." 🤩
Even as a straight guy(I think?) that totally caught me off guard in a tingly sorta way. Haha
Guess it’s time to cut failure out of my diet
Who am I kidding, I’ll never succeed
@@eidolor : I believe in you-- from afar.
I believe in you.
GOOGLE LAW OF ATTRACT.

Corpse Armor... that's the most metal thing I've ever heard in my life.
Not really. Lady Ga Ga did the meat dress. Very very NOT metal. Mental more like.
Bear grylls did same thing with a camel, cleaned out its insides and skept inside its corpse
Don't you know where leather comes from.
Dude, you're my favourite scishow presenter!
Me too.. He's cute
Looks like he's put on a few pounds recently though lol
What about flamingos though? They aren't born pink, but get the color from the brine shrimp and they eat!
Actually its from the blue-green algae they eat. The shrimp are only a very small portion of their diets.
I actually thought that was going to be an example!
The reason they wouldn't be listed is because they aren't blue green algae with a side of shrimp.
The stoplight dragonfish has actual first generation night vision goggles, but without the burning up if exposed to bright light bit. That's bloody cool.
So the yellow on his hair have been the cheese bleeding out all this time O.O
Yaaaaayyy long episode!!! Keep it up, love the longer ones. You can really go into the topic
And the best Anchor is Back In Action
And through the power of junk food, the blonde is back too!
1:30 can we just take a moment and appreciate the existence of this video
Idk how I feel about a clean shaven Michael
SAME AHHH
I like it. Can’t stand goatees for some reason.
Spinach:why do i hear epic music?
(Only old people that watched a "certain cartoon" will get this)
It’s fascinating that there are so many unique creatures out there

4:04 i think most predators dont want to mess with psychopathic prey
(Assassin bug 3:05) The bug looks much bigger this way. Even if the predator is large or daring enough, it will probably just catch an empty ant shell. And this bad reward for risk and effort ought to be the reason why spiders (and perhaps others) do not attack the bug.
That assassin bug @3:42 is nightmare fuel. D:

When I see The Blue Dragon Nudibranch, I immediately see Legiana from Monster Hunter World. Just me? xD
I see the viruses from Trauma Center for the Nintendo DS.
@@Bloodshotistic I Played Trauma Center for Wii :3 Great series
I see Kyogre from Pokémon Sapphire ( literally the reason why I noticed that thing lmao)
Who also notice a lizard on a rock on 1:14 ? :)
Good spot!
An aquatic Iguana.
Dang, that thing blends in.
I didn't..damn that's creepy.
Damn... I was focussed on the blue feet haha XD
@@michagrill9432 everyone did :)
I think this is the one of the Best video I have ever seen keep up the good work!
Typos at 5:06
"ECOTINES"
If I am what I eat guess I’m still human
You cannibal
How is it that Michael's voice is so relaxing despite using phrases such as 'corpse armour'
Or "saline sanctuary." Pure delight.
"Look at my bright feet ladies- I'm healthy and can feed you."
And flamingos? They also feed on some kind of shrimp that makes their feathers bright pink
Right before sleeping, awesome !
Those nudibranchs are so cute, I used to pick up the ones that washed up and put them back in the ocean, they’re really squishy and pretty when they’re swimming around.
I'm a human!
But that's not such an innocent statement if we follow the saying...
At 5:04 you guys wrote “ecotines” instead of ectoines.
That made me think a lot of the kleptopredation video. I saw there's some overlap too.
Now that I'm thinking about it... The video is about food.. at first I was like "oh wow, superpowers from food", then I was like, "wow bro, you gained some weight", then I was like "well you don't look too crazy fat, it's more like a normal weight gain for the winter", BUT then I was like " lol, this video is about food". You're awesome bro I love your videos!
"You are what you eat"
I must be some sort of cookie/bread/pasta then...
I’m told I look like a Dorito a lot.
As long as two of the points are up, you're handsome. If only one is up, your bill cipher
Those sea slugs are amazing.
You are what you eat. So if a cannibal eats a vegan, than the cannibal is a vegan
I mean, you're not eating animals
F M ...that's like saying " if a lion eats a human, then the lion is human. Stoner logic. %o
F M if the cannibal is a plant
Ah I see. And if a vegan eats a cannibal, that makes him a cannibal!
Lol, carnivores eat herbivores, does that make them herbivores?
*No.*
5:04 typo in the graphic says Ecotines instead of Ectoines.
Nicontine,Heroine,Morphine....
please finish it :(
Nicotine, Valium, Vicodin, Marijuana, Ecstacy and Alcohol
C-c-c-c-cocaine!
That one?
Micheal’s got a fresh new cut
Cool species. Except for the one that eats 90% junk food. Incorporating some predigested ant smoothies into it’s diet would be an improvement.
No food is junk food if it contains calories. However since most plant parts are calory poor, they are the real junk.
Assassin bug corpse armor? That's the most metal thing I've ever heard of!
The stoplight loosejaw looks like a fleshlight LOL 5:29
Yoo i just got back to youtube again, since when Micheal changed his look to "natural look"?? he looks way better this way
SciShow: you are what you eat
Ouroboros: tell me about it
The Blue Dragon Nudibranch needs to become a Pokemon in the next generation
Those assassin bugs are metal
Really thought #1 was gonna be the flamingo. That's the most well known. We all know flamingos get their carotenoids from the shrimp they eat. I'm so confused
Yeah regarding the bug corpse armor thing.... don't we also have similar thing? I mean, a lot of clothing items and other accessories that we wear are technically made from part of animal corpse that we eat right. More processed for sure but it's still corpse part. It's less in the modern times but see how many cow leather and other kind of animal that we use in shoes, bags, etc
Assassin bugs probably would like RPG games, usually you get to wear parts of the enemies you beat as armor and weapons. 🤔
Fun fact: humans also use corpse armor
Looks like Kirby isn't the only one that gets new abilities depending upon what gets consumed...
SciShow: okay so what animals are what they eat?
Me: Mantis? Any cannibal?
My favourite Pokémon is the Blue Footed Booby.
Who needs school when you have Scishow???
“Sharp mouth parts” I found that pretty funny 😂
So that makes me a double cheeseburger?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂bout ta go 4 1 now!😂😂
lol Check My Playlist
That makes you trash
So what do I get when I eat the hearts of my enemies? Muhahahaha! :D
My grandfather ate lots of beans and had a superpower called “Pull my finger.”
Whole nother level

That was a drastic change...
3:13 Ed Gein vibes
I like this guy so much more now.
Doesn’t anyone want to mention that the blue dragon nudibranch eats PORTUGUESE MEN O’WAR?
Magical changing Michael?!?!?
*If Kirby was real, then he would be the ultimate life form.*
'Batrachotoxin' literally means 'frog poison,' yes?
Super booby lols - You SciShow guys are awesomely smart and funny. You must put Awesome Sauce on everything you eat : )
I miss Michael's facial hair
He doesnt eat hair anymore
"FLIR" fish with night vision!
Huh...didn’t go for the obvious pink flamingo... That’s better I guess, that would have made for a pretty short explanation: “So the flamingos are pink because they absorb a pigment from the shrimp they eat. The shrimps also got their pigment from what they ate in the first place. The end.”
I honestly thought this video was gonna be on 7 cannibalistic species, but great video anyways
so poison frogs can store the poison for YEARS as you say but ones in captivity (generally 1 to 3 years out of the wild) don't have them? idk if you've tried researching it but they stay toxic for over 15 years...
I got waaaaaay too much enjoyment out of you saying booby😂
Is it me or is Michael........... getting cuter?
he's always been cute!
He's getting chubbier
PingwingWi you right
what . More of him to love imo
He's getting sweatier, that's for sure.
If you are what you eat does that mean cannibals the most "human" among us?
link starr 🤔 Interesting
I'm surprised no one has made a Kirby joke yet
So when the hell did I eat touch starvation, existential loneliness, and perpetual rejection of other's love?
3:14 There's an impostor among us
The last one is like someone took it from Spore :)
Every species is what they eat, that is they comprise what they eat. The only thing you are that isn't what you eat, is what you breathe and what your mom ate if you're young enough
4:52 These bacteria are actually named (indirectly) for a Cafeteria.
1:04 that lizard is on super chill mode 😎
No mention of rotifers?
Soooo...Assassin Bugs are basically Reavers.
So...poisonous organisms evolve bright colors because they don't have to worry about being preyed upon. Right? So, do organisms *tend* to develop bright colors but don't because stand outs tend to become prey?

aye found the assasin bug carrying ants in my house .. was an exciting day ... of course i let it outside , wouldn't kill such amazing creature
