    Do the inflatable nose and flap under the nostril in any way relate to their ability to hold their breath underwater? Evolutionarily speaking, do they serve any purpose, which makes these features, in particular, so important for impressing potential mates?

    • @chickenfist1554
      @chickenfist1554 Рік тому +9

      I think it's just intersexual selection. It could possibly be a negative thing for males (as it is with male peacocks) but I don't know for sure :)

    • @tacitozetticci9308
      @tacitozetticci9308 Рік тому +13

      It may be completely useless or even bad.
      Oftentimes, sexual selection degenerates as evolution goes on.
      To understand why, I recommend you look into Goodhart's law.
      I'll sum it up for you. It's about tests. Basically, when a new test turns out to be very good, it will first become more popular (take for example those big standardised exams to get into university) but what happens next is that the test becomes bad again. Why?
      Well, as the test becomes more and more popular, more people become aware of it and they start focusing their studying and training on the test itself instead of preparing for whatever skill the test was testing.
      The same happens in nature, there's some of it in every species.
      We can use these seals as an example.
      Imagine the first time some female elephant seal randomly became attracted to males with a deep voice.
      That's a new and successful test! Deep voice = big male = strong male = stronger offspring. (Female mammals NEED to be selective because they have limited and costly chances to reproduce, if they mate without being picky, their pups might not be strong enough and the mother's genes will die forever.)
      So okay, generations go on and females with that taste have an offspring that simply survives better, it's good, it spreads, it becomes popular.
      But now, how did the test degenerate? Welp males developed the big nose to add depth to the noise they can produce, and it attracts females selecting for that trait just as good as being bigger. Males became good at the test, the test is now bad.
      The balloon nostril may be useless in a similar fashion. But maybe it's also a way to show health with that nice red colour. Remember, even obsolete tests may retain some sort of good core.

    • @RightWitit
      @RightWitit Рік тому +1

      It’s not “useless” it’s used to mate
      If the male doesn’t have one the female might not even look it’s way

    • @tacitozetticci9308
      @tacitozetticci9308 Рік тому

      ​@@RightWitit that's just uselessness with extra steps lol
      You're merely shifting the uselessness of the trait to the uselessness of the method of selection the females are adopting - and calling that useful.
      The question remains: why do females want their future offspring to inherit that seemingly useless trait?
