    “Man it sure is nice that we have so few natural predators”
    “Yeah it’s handy this coral is here too since- OH FUCK”

      and cheap vinegar. One injection and COTS is dead in about 24 hours.

      sometimes humans like to kill off some of the important animals and deal with the problems themselves like as if they are always the hero

      There is probably more COTS than human beings on earth… each female can lay 30 million eggs per year

    There's a show of Masaru, a UA-camr and a fisherman did try to cook "Crown of Thorn Starfish" in different way...hardboiled, sashimi and deep-fried.

    So the reason of the rapidly growth of them is because we harvest amount of large snail too much for food

    My friends, this will not work. Do you think for one moment that if you increased numbers of the giant triton, that poachers would say, 'Fair enough, we'll leave them alone.'

  • @mfro4422

    The spikes are venemous. Is it not bothering anyone else that the "experts" keep saying poisonous?

    • @paliaspip
      @paliaspip  2 роки тому +4

      Funnily enough, COTS are poisonous, venemous and toxic. Three different modes of delivering a toxin. Toxic if eaten (to some animals). Venemous, as in, can invenimate if spiked. And poisonous, as in, can secrete a poison if harassed. The main toxin in all cases is plancitoxin, a type of saponin, which is a haemolytic (pops red bloods cells), very potent against fish.

    • @ihabhatim5825
      @ihabhatim5825 2 роки тому +1

      They are both venomous AND poisonous, hence why no animal eats them except the triton

      Then let's change the name for dragonflies, since they're neither dragons nor flies - not to mention the names of a plethora of other organisms.

    The only thing worse than COTS is this goddamn video.
