aw man
My god this robots name needs a revision
@Bite Em Up well that sounds terrifying
Every single starfish is now and ENEMY of the Republic!
How about "Death Star" ;)
Imagine getting your own Bizarre Beasts episode but all they're talking about is how to kill you.
I feel like that's very Black Mirror/ Tales from the Loop. Pretty dark idea, so probably more Black Mirror.
The Bizarre Beast isn't the starfish.
The Bizarre Beast is the starfish terminator.
@@neolexiousneolexian6079 yep... soon AI will be able to target and kill humans 100% of the time, avoiding the 3d printed ones even...
@@nilspochat8665 it can now, the bot is literally a proof that it can be done
@@delgermuruntsagaankhuu6951 even the 3dprinted humans?! :O (yeah it would actually, with enough vram...)
I do this job for a living, hunting these starfish, ive seen litterally 100s of thounsands (i describe them as the locusts of the reef) in 8 days diving 7 of us culled 33 thousand roughly. Needless to say they chewed the reef hard. Glad CoTS are finally getting more awareness!
Weeoow thanks so much everyone! I have passed this onto many of crew that have come through the vessels. For an update still doing it and its going good! Its now may 2024 and im a skipper of one of the vessels!
Ppl who do cullings are ironically some of the greatest heroes of nature, my hats off to you and your fellows
I bet your job is AMAZING 🤩
@@inotaarto8719 thank you kind sir, means alot to me and the crew!
@@amandathurston2720 its pretty awesome! Work isnt really work when you love what you do.
@@toads_ftw6866 Thanks for protecting the reefs.
The fact the bot seeds coral while killing the coral-eaters is amazing. It's like if your species was driven tp near-extinction by a single nefarious group of demons, but some divine entity sends a mechanized champion that helps your population return to bre-destruction levels and assassinates all the evil dark-starred demons.
So with COVID the girls are going to be in for a real treat later in isolation then.
That's just Pelinal Whitestrake from the Elder Scrolls videogame series

Cute profile pic and yes that would be a fun game to play
Actually, it is a game that does exist... If you can manage to get to Brisbane Australia and use QUT's 'Cube': A giant wall sized array of touch screens at the ground floor of one of their newest buildings, open to the public. You control a simplified version of the RangerBot and help it take out Crown of Thorns star fish.
One where we could operate ACTUAL robots that help take down the starfish?
So now even Starfish have to worry about being dronestriked.
'MERICA F*** YEAH
They sit on millions of barrels of suboceanic oil. Naturally, they had to be liberated by drones.
How to get american funding
@@SgtSkelebone Coming again to save the MotherFk'n Day yeah!
@@ptitgavroche imagine if we found a coral that produces hydrocarbon chains and we could turn the reefs into a petrol farm 😂😂
I remember in a Pokémon game a few years ago there was a Pokémon based on a crown of thorns starfish called mareanie that attacks corsola and I never realized that the interaction was based on how the starfish actually damage reefs
Not only that but Bruxish, which is Mareanie's predator, is based off a triggerfish (which can attack COTs in real life)
The fact that it can also seed coral and test water quality makes me think that the rangerbots would be very easily altered or tinkered with for other marine conservation jobs that may come up, perhaps in the future we'll see them using ai to do species count estimations
It's gonna deploy the fish variants of covid
I'm wondering why I never thought about how starfish eat. Not disappointed.
It’s pretty gruesome if you think about it. Lots of sea stars are predators. The ones that prey on bivalves will grab onto their shells with their hydraulic tube feet and pull until the prey is exhausted, and then insert their stomachs into the shell and digest the prey out of it, alive. It’s a good thing even fast sea stars are pretty slow because being eaten by them would suck.
A lot of the ways invertbrates eat is terrifying.
Now how do they poo
Fu Updaass, their butthole is on the top.
@@evilsharkey8954 face down ass up
How amazing that they found a relatively easy to get, and inocous to other animals venom that kills the starfish fast. Like, it's usually much more complicated than that
Does this make sheep poisonous to starfish, like whooly cane toads
@@casualsleepingdragon8501 Only if the sheep is feeling rather sick that day.
@@saucevc8353 or if the sheep is in a bad mood
It gets better. Turns out you can just use regular old household vinegar. Quick 20 ml injection gives 97% mortality. And it's a lot easier to source than bile salts.
@@omfgHumuhumunuku while I haven't properly looked into it, I'd think that acetic acid might be worse due to the higher acidity, while the acidification of the oceans is already a problem.
4:00 Now I see why Toxapex's defenses are so stupidly high, damn.
And it fookin regenerates
I always thought toxapex was based off of a vampire squid in its defensive position. It's listed as a "brutal star" pokemon on bulbapedia, but they refer to it's legs as tenticles, like a squid, multiple times in the article. Perhaps it's a combination of both real life animals.
And just like the real crown of thorns, toxapex quickly takes over a meta :D
@@BrandonJ978 pretty toxic
@@Jake.The.Snake. You missed an event in SM/USUM where the Aether Foundation explained that Mareanie and Toxapex prey on Corsola.

@@masonsmith9619 Shoot! I'm all ears.
Well, shoot, there goes the plot of my epic sci-fi/horror story about monster starfish rising from the depths to devour human livers.
Nah, you just have to adapt a little bit. Let them gain control over the killer robots and use them to sink every single one of our military and cargo ships. That way it'll actually be us who'll have made their rise possible.
"I know that organ harvesting is illegal, but we need as much bile as possible in order to defeat the starfish invasion!"
Am available for further script editing suggestions. You're welcome.
Are we ignoring the second horror element here. Artifically intelligent, aquatic assassin robots have been unleased underwater. This is terrifying.
Nah, this is the perfect setup for you.
Humans have created selection pressure so only the strongest starfish can now survive, and at the same time humans are giving starfish good reason to hate humans.
They're already immune to most physical and chemical trauma. Once they evolve immunity to bile, humanity is basically doomed.
These Idjuts don’t know that bile is in the liver.
How bad is it?
"The scientists decided to create an army of murderbots to solve the problem" bad.
Enough for the terminators to change their target kind of bad
typpical aint it? a natural phenomena occurs and man tries to use its own hands and tech brain pride on its own to try n fix an issue that only nature itself can solve...
@@fallen4satan But the issue came from nature itself...?

Crown of Thorns: Ha ha, I'm invincible!
Snail: Who left all this free food here?
😂😂😂
My dive instructor in Hawaii always carried a net for removing crown of thorns.
It's quite funny to watch a cots run in terror from a giant triton since it's such a slow chase.
Crown of thorns can actually really run for sea stars, but they’re still super slow.
The “kill the Crown of Thorns” and “reseed the reef with coral”robot sounds fantastic!!!! Congratulations to everyone involved!! 🎉🎊🥳
"Correctly identified the crown of thorns 99.4% of the time"
RIP to the lost 0.6% ⚰
...That might be false negatives instead of false positives?
@@neolexiousneolexian6079 a mixture of both
Rip for the ones the machine doesn't see and thus survive... Nice logic.
Funnything, coincidentally if you turn the stats downside up or front to back you get the approximate "success" rate of the "deadly" wossname .
Do you believe in coincidence?.🤔
That one purple starfish with only 6 arms: i feel funny…
Heard about these things first from a show called 'Barney's Barrier Reef', a BBC nature show that talked about various lifeforms in the GBR.
Normally it was a light hearted/edutainment show, talking about various ways creatures used mucus, poop, bits of reef debris, colours, and so on.
But from what I can remember, every single time the Crown-Of-Thorns was talked about, it was in a much more serious tone compared to everything else, and was in a way the main villain/antagonist of the show due to the fact that they're mostly known for how much damage they cause to the reef at large.
Don't they have any other purpose other than eat corals?
They're basically pest of the sea if they have no other positive contribution to sea life.
@@ccg2301 They might have some other purpose to them, but their reef killing ways overwhelm all other elements to them by far.
@@ccg2301 Animals don't have a purpose. They're just out there trying to grow and reproduce as much as possible, just like every other animal. If you're asking if they provide a benefit to the rest of the ecosystem, it's the same as any other predator. They tend to feed primarily on the most abundant fastest growing corals, which in a balanced system, increases biodiversity.
@@ccg2301 Which were held in balance by the Giant Triton Snail until humans reduced the numbers to critical levels.
So who's the culprit here? A starfish that's been around for thousands of years (if not more) before the European human got to Australia, and yet the Reef still thrived, or the humans who collected the snails to near extinction because they were "pretty" and looked nice on a shelf or aquarium, along with (according to the vast majority of scientists in the field) have created climate conditions that are severely stressing coral reefs everywhere? (Coral bleaching is also devastating reefs)
My money is on the human being the criminal here, as is usually the case when species go extinct.
@@iffracem And yet the humans put all the blame on someone else like they always do.
The way starfish move reminds me of the sped up footage of plants growing. Both are deeply disturbing for some reason.
I like the galoping starfish ua-cam.com/video/9rxf_2EgwfE/v-deo.html
It's the creepy-crawly reflex, I think, & in the starfish's case it's literal.
Random recommendation for a bizarre beast. The naked mole rat is the only mammal that is eusocial, and it is a thermoconformer (meaning they are practically cold blooded). A university professor I had had done studies with naked mole rats and I truly learned how bizarre they were from him.
Also they have no sense of touch IIRC? It's speculated that that prevents them from feeling pain due to the extremely high levels of CO2 in their burrows.
(Also, I *think* they're immortal/cancer-proof/senescence-proof?)
Those are really bizarre.
Now, what we need is a psychic-water Snail Pokemon that hunts the Mareanie and Toxapex down.
Too bad they are nearly exstinct
Love this idea
Save the Corsola!
and a Steel/Poison COTSbot
evolving into a LarvalBot
O think Poison-Water with corrosion would make more sense since its the saliva that renders them useless
Now Lovecraft novels make so much sense.
Cthulhu is just taking revenge for his pet starfish.

@@jozenne0018 ++
seems Australia had a knack to launch war with animals just like like the infamous The Great Emu War
This time it seems that they're winning.
Shhhhh! don't speak of the Emu's! They are listening, and waiting, they will strike when the time is right.
Plus, humans killed every single one in my state (Tasmania) around 1865, they still want revenge.........
This angered the Emus, who punished the Australians severely
Just want to point out that the "army" they sent to deal with the emu's consisted of 3 men, 2 lewis guns and ONLY 10,000 rounds of ammo for 20,000 emus. Work that one out.

Fortunately, sea stars don’t have brains and probably don’t suffer pain the way we do. It’s more like a stimulus to move them away from ouch thing.
Besides, predatory sea stars digest their prey alive. That inside out stomach. Death in the ocean is not gentle.

I was hyped to see starfish footage then you brought out the sea snail... Dude you don't even know how much I love sea snails, this is making my bad morning way better thank you
I feel like the giant snail and the robots deserve their own pins. Everything is so cool!
Oh, so _THIS_ is what the Mareanie and Toxapex lines from Pokémon were based on. No wonder they were considered pests who feasted on Corsola (actually, they were only catchable by SOS chaining from a Corsola in SM iirc. Corsola is a coral Pokémon)
Octonauts made a movie about their invasion on the great barrier reef! Its a good watch for all ages
Funny they left out the killer bile robots though...

It's an electronic steel type so it probably could.
this episode only just finished and I'm already wondering if I dreamed it.
Ok I’m super impressed that the bile poison is safe after the fact
It’s sort of like snake venom in a way: the snake can eat the snake’s prey just fine after injecting its blood stream with venom.
In this case bile makes perfect sense since a creature with bile in its stomach will be able to handle eating a creature with bile it its blood stream (emphasis on the bile in the blood stream as how the target died).
this is solarpunk as all hell i love it
Am I the only one who thinks that protecting, breeding, and deploying Giant Tritons will be better for the environment in the long term?
Probably. On the other hand: Autonomous Killer Robots!
That was pretty much my first thought...
It takes time and effort, so while I'm certain that's happening it's not enough for what appears to be a more immediate problem.
The key word there is long term. Plus the snails can only eat about 1 starfish a week. Some reefs have 50k + starfish
@@omfgHumuhumunuku still, does it justify spending millions on high tech equipment, maintenance, and staff per machine instead of supplementing the invader's natural predators?
This is your first video that start sad on the get go, and finishes with hope, you guys are amazing!! 👍🏻
Growing up in North Queensland Australia next to the Great Barrier Reef I learned about these starfish from a very you age. Our first school trip to the aquarium Reef HQ was in grade 3.
Hank green:
“You are, by all accounts, a fairly standard starfish.”
"You are, by all accounts, a fairly standard starfish..."
NO IM NOT MY MOM SAYS IM A SPECIAL STARFISH
Robotic assassins seem like a good way to control introduced and invasive species without harming the rest of the ecosystem.
God I hate waking up as a starfish getting haunted by assassin robots
Scientist: Rangerbot can be trained to identify,target and terminate Crown Star fish.
CIA: 🤔
Oh come on, you know the CIA had it first
I work for the COTS programs in Townsville Australia! this would be amazing to have!
Wow really? That is so intresting
Well,they are making breakthroughs.maybe they will be available for purchase in a few years?
@scott appelbaum yeah bro we are up in cairns! Smooth travels and culling to you and the crew G!
As long as we don't wipe out the crown of thorns sea star species entirely I am totally okay with this
Imagine one day our AI creations declare us an invasive species and start jabbing us with nature friendly bile.
All fun and games until the starfish starts programming the assassin bot to hunt swimming humans
Ah yes. Built killer robots that deploy poison and can learn to spot hidden prey.
I feel like Cave Johnson was involved in this somehow. The next model probably also dispenses cake.
That does sound like something he would make his scientists do, now that I've thought about it...
We're now drone striking starfish, what a time to be alive...
Imagine you're little nemo sleeping in his coral and out of no where this machine drives by and STABS your next door neighbor.
0:29 Well, that escalated quickly.
I remember this from Tangents! It's nice to get some footage to go along with that nugget of knowledge 👍
I saw an older video about a virus that was causing starfish to rip themselves apart, and stopping them from regenerating. Any chance there could be a video about that?
no. there is no chance.
Hank don't stop man. Love this guy.
I am both excited and terrified of the fact we are now making and deploying real ass killer robots designed to kill specific targets for scifi reasons.
So that's what Caster's been summoning in Fate: Zero!
This is quite hopeful for the lives and preservation of coral reefs. That’s nice to hear
Great episode, glad i found this channel!
This needs millions of more views why is this so underrated
It's far more effective to try and breed Triton Snails in captivity and release them into vulnerable reef zones. One or two robots won't be able to cover as much ground and control such a large population of starfish.
This would also help rejuvenate the diminished population of snails too.
Yeah but that isn’t as cool
My only worry: how many captive bred tritons are being released on the reef as opposed to how many are being plucked OFF the reef by divers.
I actually read about this thing years ago.
I’ve been waiting to see it in action!
I'm hecka looking forward to my starfish pin!
I remember seeing something about these critters some time ago, and there were actually divers going down onto the reefs to find and kill them. The robot is an absolutely brilliant idea. It destroys the invasive species and then replenishes what has been lost, kind of a 'remove and repair' situation. Now this is where technology is brilliant and shows what we are capable of and what we should be using it for instead of trying to kill each other.

@@myboy_ s.o. make him a crown!
Cots sounds like Kots in my language and that means Puke. Quite fitting since the bile is an internal fluid so now I will call it Kotsrobot
We also have that same problem here in the Philippines but divers here found a solution. They inject vinegar and they die right away.
I did a school report on this starfish a long time ago (I must have forgotten their spines were poisonous though, because I was surprised by that.), They are fascinating.
To be fair, it's not the starfish's fault the corals are dying...they've been eating coral for thousands of years. It's only when humans started screwing things up that the balance of nature got out of wack. Now we have to fix what we broke, and the starfish pay the price. :(
This ^
Anyone who has looked deeper into this matter will know about this.
Exactly. Just like its not an invasive species fault they do harm. Nature is perfectly balanced until humans mess it up
@@avacurtis2729 Nature is not "perfectly balanced", it just moves a bit slower. Species have still died out regularly before human activity. (Not saying that it's not way worse now)
wonder if this is being adapted for lionfish. mind you, is it a wise idea to start making assassin bots to "manage" our oceans. im picturing a scary mix of Terminator and Sharknado
You see a starfish. I see a Toxapex.
Thanks for the great science video, John!
Fish heads are usually used by some home gardeners from where I'm from and I'm wondering that if this starfish can be great for gardening as well.
We use "charlie carp" as fertiliser in Australia instead, that product being made from invasive carp that are cleared from waterways to save them, using the profits their sale as fertiliser net
Hank, I need a pin of the deadly anti starfish assassin robot!!
You know what will also help. Put a bounty on them like they did to Lion Fishes so people will also have some motivation to get rid of them.
I didn't know this channel existed, saw the video was interested, Immediately recognized hank's voice and was sold, glad I found this.
If you like getting told bulshit by someone who believes they know more than they do, you should watch CNN Fox any other major News Network
@@riddell26 Actually has nothing to do with what I said, but ok buddy.
I’m sure those scientists have been binge watching Michael Reeves videos
While the Rangerbot is an exciting development, is it not possible to grow more Giant Triton snails and deploy them?
Or would that end up like the introduction of the Cane Toads?
3:15
"Decepticons.. Mobilize.. It is time.."
Another Hank channel? Yes please. Don't know how I missed this one.
This is a very cool idea, but wouldn't the star fish become immune to the "bile" over time
There would have to be survivors for any immunity to build up in a species, and it takes a few generations and a lot of survivors to repress their vulnerability to the toxin.
It sounds like the robot doesn't leave any survivors, so immunity seems unlikely at best, in this case.
Considering the lack of exposure to bile naturally, it should take a while before a mutation would appear in the population that could benefit the sea star. That being said, the massive amounts of eggs produced could be an issue if a mutation does appear and is selected for.
@@JohnSmith-mk1rj thank you for your answer I appreciate it.

He’s a narrator on Journey to the Microcosm
I just like how, after creating actual robot, our first instinct was to break the laws of robotics
Do not worry! The next version of the army of killer robots will be taught to read and given a copy of the laws of robotic. To share.
Last i checked starfish were not considered to be humans.
@@techpriestsalok8119 Life is not determined by sapience. The law states only that robots shall not kill. This law makes a starfish's life equal to that of a human's life.
@@SNAKE.LOVER.69 I’m pretty sure the first law of robotics is “a robot may not harm a human or through inaction allow a human to come to harm” if you don’t allow robots to harm any living creature you are going to have problems with for example your farming equipment refusing to harvest your plants, or your butchery equipment refusing to butcher animals.
Like it or not most people consider humans to be a step above animals, which are in turn a step above plants.
@@SNAKE.LOVER.69 First Law
A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
Second Law
A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
Third Law
A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
As you can see, the Laws of Robotics explicitly mentions humans, so unless starfish are considered humans you're wrong
Whoever came up with this is a genius.
Imagine if they programmed the robot to work against lion fish
