Honestly wish documentaries were more like this one. It is actually very informative. Most TV documentaries instead of trying to inform you, try to entertain you and worry more about telling a story than giving information, and also dumb things down as well. Moving documentaries in a direction closer to this as far as the information goes, would be very nice.
You've been watching the wrong documentaries!! Watch ANYTHING with Sir David Attenborough & watch Nature on PBS. Stick to the BBC & PBS. Their nature documentaries sometimes take up to 4 years to make! They exist to educate people, not to make money. There are whole series like Planet Earth and others that are fascinating & have the most amazing cinematography!! There's nothing wrong with being entertaining as long as animals & plants are not harmed, scenes are not staged & people are learning about the natural behavior of animals & what they need to live. Animals are often very entertaining & plants are fascinating. There are other good educational YT channels, too. This is just one school project (albeit a good one). Just steer clear of the cable channels that are in it for the money, like the History Channel or the Discovery Channel. They have bowed the knee to profit & offer dumbed down programming that relies on special effects, repetition of images (usually of computer-generated images effects) & voiceovers that sound like the Honest Trailers announcer, & promote speculation & conspiracy theories to get & keep viewers. The do still offer some good programs, but they aren't consistent the way Nature (or other PBS documentaries, like American Experience or Ken Burn's docs) or Sir David & the BBC are. They offer consistently outstanding nature, history, & science programs.
very informative and interesting. I was bored and was just looking for barnacle videos. But these facts are really fancinating and well presented with a nice pace. Hope you guys get high mark for this
No, because ticks suck the blood off the animal onto which they attach. These things just ride along unless they are the parasitic kind that take over the reproductive system of crabs, as described in the video. But that's just one kind of barnacle.
Good job guys, very informative. I didn’t even know barnacles we’re living organisms and this really helped me to understand what they’re about. I’m proud of each and every one of you. You’re doing gods work. I love yall
I thought it would be interesting to hinder a larve of reaching solid ground. Would they stay mobile, then? I wonder how "smart" they are. You can see how coordinated they move their long penisses. So they clearly have some sort of brain.
Well done. Thank you for taking the time to make this. You should invest a bit of time to create a higher resolution and better sound version. It's very educational and well written :) Again thanks!
Done by students in marine bio course I taught. They just used cell phone cameras, so quality not great, but goal was learning for them mainly. thanks!
James Murray are there any freshwater varieties. I might be tempted to maybe add a few freshwater barnacles on my 10 gallon aquarium. I like the natural look. I think the roughness of the barnacles add some texture and interest to the hardscapes
hey thanks for the video man, I was watching a video about removing barnacles from sea turtles and wanted to learn just what a barnacle is. Your video was concise and answered most of my questions, good stuff!
OMG, people should leave the sea turtles alone. Unless someone knows what they're doing the shells are damaged and infection can move in. Sea turtles can deal with barnacles unless they're really sick or REALLY STRESSED; prying the barnacles off stresses the turtles MORE than leaving them alone. Please, leave the sea turtles alone. All species are endangered. Share the word. P.S. Email any turtle rescue organization for more info. Retired librarian
For real though, I was visiting my family last night and the topic of barnacles came up and I did a bit of reading and found that barnacles are super interesting!
I was just smoking a blunt and jamming out to some 070 Shake, while browsing reddit. I came across a gif of a barnacle and it looked like the fucking Kraken or that thing from Lord of the Rings (where it comes out of the water before they enter the Mines of Moría) coming out of the shell. Right then and there I had to learn wtf a barnacle really was. Like really what the fuck is that? How big can it fucking get? I mean, does that little thing grow up to BE the Kraken?! I had no fucking clue that's what's inside a fucking barnacle. The ocean is one scary fucking place. All in all. This video; best barnacle lesson I've ever seen. Literally. Ever.
Nice video! I went searching for barnacle videos to get a little background knowledge for my own trivia while writing my molecular ecology lab report. Thanks for posting :)
Whenever I see barnacles, I don't get grossed out like you normally would. Instead, I get borderline irrationally enraged, kinda like what I feel when I see ticks, lice, and fleas.
Here's my barnacle story. Back in 2007 I was rafting the Smith River in Montana on a 5 day trip. One day while we were taking a 4:20 'Safety Break' on a sandbar I was looking down into the water and noticed this unusual looking rock along with the many 1000's of other rocks down there. The rock was much, much lighter in color than the other rocks. I picked it up and there was some kind of small pattern on it the size of a quarter. It was obviously a fossil of some kind. The rock was heavy for it's size, about the size of a brick, and had some small holes in it that ran into the interior of the rock along with this bit of fossil. I kept it in my back-pack and carried it with me for the rest of the trip. A few weeks after that in Missoula there was a Farmer's Market going on in a closed off street. My friend said there was usually a rock/gemstones guy there that might be able to tell me what it was I had. There were all kinds of booths there. Some were selling farmed food, others some fragrances, another was selling candles, etc, etc. I came upon a man selling rocks, geodes, gemstones etc. After a few minutes of chatting I showed him my rock and asked him if he knew what it was? He said what I had was a piece of compacted sand. The holes that ran thru the rock were made by clams and the fossil patter was from???????.......You guessed it...A BARNACLE!!!! What was really cool was that the guy said what I had there was from 200,000,000-400,000,00 yrs ago!! All the land in Montana was under salty ocean water and over the years the beach sand formed into this kind of cement. The Barnacle was just doing Barnacle things at the bottom of the ocean when it died and formed the pattern I had holding in my hand. I thought that was pretty cool that I had this little brick that was formed so many million years ago with a Barnacle in it. I'm sure the Barnacle never in 300,000,000 years thought that it would be reunited with an ocean again. Maybe not the ocean it came from but with the Atlantic Ocean which is where I currently live near. And that my friends is my boring Barnacle story!! If you read this far I tip my hat to you for staying awake as long as you did. I wish I could give you a prize but I can't so all I can do is say THANK YOU! I now have a better understanding of my 300,000,000 yr old rock/sand, clam holes and Barnacle!!
Nice video. Well done. Barnacles are fascinating marine organisms. They have also constituted great model systems thanks to which ecological theory has advanced.
how long do they live out of water? Whats their average lifespan? Are there many different removal techniques? How often do they need to be removed from things such as ships, boats, buoys, and what benefit/or greatest harm do they cause or provide? time for part 2!
They can survive out of water for days if it does not get too hot. Not sure of lifespan but probably decades. Removing is easier when young and small, and even small ones if numerous can increase fuel consumption.
Heather Gustafson great questions. They come from planktonic larvae. And yes they secrete their shells from their skin. And they have a remarkable underwater glue!
In 20,000 leagues under the sea a man thought he was eating lamb at dinner but it was brisket of blowfish basted in barnacles. I wonder how that is even possible
These things are in the lowest level of life and our energy of life are so higher than them it makes in us or some people a kind of itchy and hate. I believe if you raise your energy you find similar feeling about some people and for the sake of it (and other things) love is very important if you want practice anykind of spirituality!!!!
I'm here because I saw these things messing up a Sea Turtle. 🐢
Thank you for all the likes. Thank you.
.me too
Me three

Same hahha
Lol, yup.. i saw that poor turtle and i was like "dafuq is this thing" ?
I never thought I'd get to the lowest point in my life where I'd be watching a documentary about barnacles.

Do u guys think this dude had to do a project presentation for school using UA-cam
Dogetuberyt probably. They have references written APA I think.
Dogetuberyt not school really, according to the description it says it is a presentation for california state university

Barnacle head!
A better documentary than most on TV.
You can't beat my Boi David, though
I have an urge to destroy those
Those things are just so disgusting.
Every creature has a right to be here.It's not your call.Who cares how odd some creatures look respect theit right to b here you jerk.

Lol, bored and looking for barnacle videos. Lol
You have been subscribed to Barnacle facts.
SPECIFICALLY THE LONG PENISES !!!!!
Once there was an ugly barnacle the ugly barnacle was so ugly that everyone died the end
Frostythewolf thank you for this fellow bob brother
That didn't help at all..😢
Good story

That didn't help at all 😭
i can't stand looking at them
baconater4000 but I can't stop! What is wrong with me?
The barnacles will consume you for your disrepect

Same but I can’t stop watching and I just want to scratch my skin off!
I had no idea that they were more closely related to crabs than crabs, amazing little animals, thanks for this.
Some people eat any damn thing. The thought of barnacles makes me quesy. I watched this because I saw some on a whale. Barnacles are sea ticks.
Me You That's what brought me here as well.
me too
Me, too! Saw a video of a whale breaching so close to a boat that some barnacles got scratched off its body and landed on the boat.
No, because ticks suck the blood off the animal onto which they attach. These things just ride along unless they are the parasitic kind that take over the reproductive system of crabs, as described in the video. But that's just one kind of barnacle.
these things are so damm gross!
yuck disgusting!
Some people think the same thing about you.
Good job guys, very informative. I didn’t even know barnacles we’re living organisms and this really helped me to understand what they’re about. I’m proud of each and every one of you. You’re doing gods work. I love yall
I hope these guys all do well in their marine bio courses, because none of them have a future in radio/tv announcing.
The first one wasnt so bad.
😂
the first guy actually sounded interested
Watching this makes my skin crawl. Ugh.
Same. They give me anxiety
I'm supposed to be reviewing for am exam this Sunday and here I am watching a documentary about barnacles.
What am I doing with my life?
Eugh! I have the urge to scrape them off!
ikr
I thought it would be interesting to hinder a larve of reaching solid ground. Would they stay mobile, then?
I wonder how "smart" they are.
You can see how coordinated they move their long penisses. So they clearly have some sort of brain.
godzilla691138MW3 I feel you. Makes me wanna blow them up
godzilla691138MW3 yeah man.

Some information one this was Very helpful, I appreciate the work you went through to create this
This was great! I've always been curious about barnacles and this documentary really gave me a better idea of them. Thank you!
Well, I need to buy a flamethrower.
We need to buy a volcano :/
@@VampireDrip they can grow on both waters and rocks
Down the rabbit hole I go
Yep....
This was really interesting and answered several questions I had. Thanks for creating and uploading the documentary.
For real though, I was visiting my family last night and the topic of barnacles came up and I did a bit of reading and found that barnacles are super interesting!
This was very informative, all of my questions were answered.
Currently at Duke Marine Lab. Saw a barnacle and chose this documentary randomly. Small world. Great vid.
assignment due in few hours what do i do? binge watch barnacle videos.
You know your vacation day is boring when you're watching a barnacle documentary.
It's 2am. I was watching a game video. Saw this. Watching it. My life.
They make me feel sick

Burn them with fire!!!!!!
*HANS! BRING THE FLAMMENWERFER*
and ur money will be gone cuz ur travelling around the world
Omg I was thinking the same thing. Burn them!
How about cook them instead
The presentation of this video was great
Nice video! I went searching for barnacle videos to get a little background knowledge for my own trivia while writing my molecular ecology lab report. Thanks for posting :)
Perfect video to watch when you smoke weed.
R Blng no
Im high so 😂😂😂
u smoke ass crack
Currently
I'm high as shit watching this rn
Whenever I see barnacles, I don't get grossed out like you normally would. Instead, I get borderline irrationally enraged, kinda like what I feel when I see ticks, lice, and fleas.
I don't get enraged, per se. I just wanna burn it with fire.
People are still watching this, I'm not the only one?

thanks for sharing, cool story
My girls enjoyed the video, especially the "crab's butt"
Ray Turner ugh! That was a parasitic barnacle attached to the crabs genitals!
I got goosebumps by just thinking these things glued on me
3:30 Says sea turtle, shows alligator snapping turtle
Questioned why we scrape then and what they are. This efficiently answered my questions. Thank you.
I hope Gary the snail don’t catch me watching this
Yesssss! You remember the same episode I was thinking of!
😂😂
Meow!
Nice video. Well done. Barnacles are fascinating marine organisms. They have also constituted great model systems thanks to which ecological theory has advanced.
really good, Thank you!!!
Just wow! Awesome video! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. 📰
I get anxiety looking at these dam things. Why am I here??😫😫
Haha
I will never look at barnacles the same way again. Good Documentary buddy.
Very good job...why don't birds eats them...they are easy picking right?
They can withdraw into their hard shell, and few birds can pry them open.
+James Murray thanks
It's called the Ugly Barnacle.
Once there was an ugly barnacle he was so ugly everyone died.
*BLISTERING BARNACLES IN A THUNDERING TYPHOON!!!*
We need more people like this because their are tons of species that dont have their own documentary or more detail research
No non sense vid gives you the basic facts which I wanted. 👍🏽
Brilliant. Love barnacles. Much more exciting than you'd think
how long do they live out of water? Whats their average lifespan? Are there many different removal techniques?
How often do they need to be removed from things such as ships, boats, buoys, and what benefit/or greatest harm do they cause or provide? time for part 2!

I love that you answered! Great video. Too bad the sound isn't up to par with the amazing information.
Where do they come from, do they make their own shells? How do they stick to things so strongly?
Heather Gustafson great questions. They come from planktonic larvae. And yes they secrete their shells from their skin. And they have a remarkable underwater glue!
eww they remind of of tryfophobia or something like dat
o.o
This is more interesting than I expected
This was great
I actively searched for this because I always wondered what barnacles actually were.
Thank you for video
I like it. Very informative and well done
That was not a sea turtle but a snapping turtle.
After cleaning/removing all the barnacles from the turtle. Please collect all the barnacles and burn it on the dry seashore/dry place..
They're yummy 😋
These barnacles are like microbes like fungi
They're crustaceans.
Thanks for helping with my final assessment essay 9 years later 🙃
3:34 **Not a sea turtle*
Lol It looks like it could be a real life squirtle!
This video was just what I was looking for.
What is their impact on living animals like sea turtles? They have to be removed but I’m not sure why?
1. scrape them off using a knife 🗡
2. hammer and pound and pound 🛠
3. put it in a blender
pulverize 🏖
You’ve given me more information then most of the videos in barnacles
Gotta throw the whole ocean away.
I never knew what they were... thanks!
Can they be eaten
I know that people cook and eat gooseneck barnacles
There are giant barnacles in Chile, South America, they call picoroco. They have 400 gramas of weight
Yes, their meat tastes like a combo of crab and clam flesh.
Thank you so much for this video! It really helped me with my biology assessment.
Can anyone nuke that rocks please?.. they make me so itchy I want to shave every hair on my body...
In 20,000 leagues under the sea a man thought he was eating lamb at dinner but it was brisket of blowfish basted in barnacles. I wonder how that is even possible
a part of the crew a part of the ship
Thank you for sharing,I have learned a few things by watching this video.
I find these creatures disgusting
Pacificgoji94 like you
Thank you for a great informative video! Very interesting!
So sea herpes?
So that's what they do! Thank you for sharing this knowledge.
Guess it's reasonable that barnacles is chosen as the cussing word in Spongebob.
Ugh....barnacles....
This is very intriguing and very helpful.
3:31 that is not a sea turtle.. failed journalism
These things are in the lowest level of life and our energy of life are so higher than them it makes in us or some people a kind of itchy and hate.

Use crowbar to kill them
Came for the meme, stayed for the documentary
I cannot stand your vocal fry dude, I'm sorry I couldn't watch the whole thing!
This documentary rocks, it was really informative 👍 plus love the seagull at the end of the video
Similar to secondary plaque on the teeth that erodes the calcium and bones under the gum line.
In a future project, you might investigate how these barnacles grow in those cone shaped shells. That is quite a trick.
Coronavirus got me here. Boredom will get you anywhere.
