      @@perpetuated they’re generally ranked at the bottom because of their movement speed. They only depend on wave currents to take them wherever they go. Due to this and not being able to swim they also get smacked around by a lot of fish. This video however gives me a perspective that the other videos never did - the perspective of the sea horses themselves. I figured because everyone ranks them bottom tier that they’d be horrible hunters. Boy was I wrong

    • @otaku3OBSESSION
      @otaku3OBSESSION 2 роки тому

      The speed of sound in air under typical conditions is about 343 meters per second, while the speed of sound in water is about 1,480 meters per second.

    • @bradyy0rk
      @bradyy0rk 2 роки тому +3

      I also thought that sounds incorrect. Looks like it's the acceleration which is also more around 200 m/s². The max velocity is between 150 and 780 mm/s depending on the size of the copepod, larger ones are faster and can jump greater distances.
      Still really interesting, looks like Copeods are more than 10 times as strong as any other animal relative to their body size.

    • @bradyy0rk
      @bradyy0rk 2 роки тому

      @paul snor Yes, it's pretty crazy. The maximum acceleration I read about was for Temora turbinata with 351 m/s². You can check the paper "Calanoid copepod escape behavior in response to a visual predator" for research on this topic.

      Well, do you know the masterpiece God has created?
      It’s human. Yes, us. Because we are made in the image of God. And God made us to live in relationship with God. But because of our disobedience, we are separated from the Holy God. We sinned against Him and death is the penalty of sin.
      But because God is love, He doesn't want us to suffer in that eternal suffering on the lake of fire so He sent Jesus Christ to die on the cross for our stead. Yes, Jesus Christ willingly took our sins upon Himself by dying on that cruel cross of calvary. Though He was buried, at the third day He rose again, victorious against death. He won the victory we could not win, which is death.
      Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ that He died on the cross, was buried and rose again the third day and you shall be saved.
      If you have any questions, please feel free to ask away.
      God bless!

    I don't understand the reasoning at 6:05
    Why would the shift of pregnancy from females to males change the speed at which the species can reproduce? Wouldn't it simply shift the bottleneck from the number of available females to the number of available males for the same job? Is the m/f ratio skewed towards males?
