The Big Sperm Paradox
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 гру 2017
- Have you ever looked at animal sperm under a microscope? Probably not. But if you had you would have seen a significant size difference depending on from which animal the sperm came. Even more surprising, the sperm seem to get bigger as the animals get smaller. Find out why in this video.

little mistake at 3:00 - 6cm is 60000 micrometer not 6000

Also that mistake took a year to find
Why comment first? I might understand if it were a video.

It’s quite an interesting profession if your mature enough to ignore the comparison to human reproduction.
I wonder if you get to play with the samples (joking of course)
Would be way more fun to have the job of collecting it

If you're ever feeling down just remember, you are the winner of the *great sperm race*
No, you are the loser because you won, and so you were born. Can't feel down if you aren't alive to begin with.
You did not win any race, the leaders always die as they get caught in the curves of the uterus and those that make it to the egg first never get in. Instead, they only weaken the membrane enough for you to finally penetrate. So really, you did not win, but instead waited for others to make it easier for you to get victory after not doing much

2:57 1000 micrometers=1 millimeter so 6000 micrometers = 6 mm but he said 6 cm a few seconds before that
Yeah, thats a typo. I even used a converter to make sure I have the right value (60 000) but I still forgot one zero in the end...
Facts in Motion Still a great video which taught me something new! And I'm a biology undergrad!
Facts in Motion That's why you should trust your gut more than your calculator.
Porco Rosso 1000 centimeters is one meter, while 1000 micrometers is one centimeter.
1000cm = 10m; 1000 micrometers = 1 milimeter; 1000 milimeters = 1 meter; 100 centimeters = 1 meter.
Fruit fly: embarrasing movement when the sperm is larger than the tool
Poor Teddy Bear.
My cat did the same thing to my plush rabbit many years ago very frequently, despite being castrated -.-
Something tells me that's not a successful propagation strategy.
How tf does a fly fit that inside their bodies
As the narrator said, they have to be coiled.
AkaiAzul yeah I heard that, but do they just have one sperm cause it seems like one would barely fit inside of them
Cells are microscopic, but yeah, they can't fit too many in them. They can only make a few hundred their whole life.
It's like DNA, you have about 2 meters of DNA in each cell but the width is so small that when it's all curled up it still is microscopic, same goes for the 6cm sperm cell in the end it doesn't take that much space

Find out next time on DRAGON BALL Z.
Last time on Dragon Ball Z. Mohamed Arham was confused about this video and how it effected him. He will soon learn none of this matters since he will die virgin.
So you know things americans
You can tell he really enjoyed making this video
Imagine having to animate all of this holy shit
Fascinating! Really enjoying your channel and just subscribed. I really like that your videos are accurate and still mix in the funny cartoons and are quite interesting and entertaining.
The intro made me giggle. Great start on this subject. :)

@@TheReal_ist spermelicious
@@antoncvetkov8602 Indeed...
You missed an important sperm type: attack sperm. These are highly specialized sperm cells which do not have the capability of fertilization. Rather, they exist to identify and destroy the sperm of other males. Humans still have the genes for this type of sperm, but it's presently disabled via the Epigenome. It's only of use in species where it's common for a female to have multiple simultaneous partners. In cases of monogamy, or even serial monogamy, it has no benefit and is therefore a waste of energy. While there are parts of the world where women traditionally have up to two husbands, they tend to brothers splitting on a dowry so because of close relationship there still isn't an advantage to reactivated attack sperm. The modern movement of polyamory might change that, but it's too soon to say.
Incidentally, the fact that the epigenome can disable such an important adaptation without it's loss so that it can be used later is an example of evolution in a non random way.
Other species of primates presently have attack sperm active, and of the attack sperm there are two know types. There are also other adaptations, such as variable volume to account for absence from a sexual partner, and the fact that females are more likely to be impregnated by the male that triggers an orgasm putting significant weight in her sexual preferences even in communities with multiple sexual partners.

Well now I'm a sperm expert
Wait, how does a fly produce sperm that's longer than its body? Is it all curled up inside in a single strand?
Yup, basically. Just google "Drosophila sperm" - there are plenty of pictures.

This video...oh my god.
I think that this deserves the subscribe I've been meaning to give you.
; )
Not sure if you're interested in taking video suggestions or not, but the elephants did remind me about some cool facts regarding their family history, such as how they're related to manatees and how early elephant relatives even had weird horns on their heads (Arsinoitherium to be specific). Have you got any plans for making any more paleontology related videos in the future?
The Evolution of different clades of animals is definitely something I wanna do. But with one video taking a week to make (currently) progress is really slow. I think I have to find a way to make shorter videos - maybe a paleo series where every video is only 2 min long so I would be able to do a few of them in between the regular videos. But so far I don't know how this would look like exactly. Keeping it short is not necessarily something I'm good at ; )
That's alright, it's awesome that you are interested in making them though! Take your time, and keep up the good work!

Why is this at the top of my recommended feed? Either way fascinating stuff! I never though I'd say this but sperm is more fascinating than I thought
Hey Facts in Motion, sehr interessantes Video und probs für die gute Aussprache. Könntest du auch ein Video über die Fortpflanzung insgesamt machen? Mich würde echt zb interessieren wieviele Eizellen ein Säugetier mit mehreren Nachkommen produziert usw.
Bigger the size, slower heart rate and smaller the sperm size. Co incidence
I think what you are trying to say is essentially the same as what the "metabolic constraint hypothesis " one of the two competing explanations for this phenomenon argued.
- from the third link in the description:
"the metabolic constraint hypothesis maintains that ejaculates respond
positively to selection in small endothermic animals with high metabolic
rates, whereas low metabolic rates constrain their evolution in large
species."
however, The results presented in this paper disprove this hypothesis.
"This gradual change in the relative investment in ejaculate traits
supports the sperm dilution hypothesis, but is not consistent with the
metabolic constraint hypothesis, thereby resolving the debate between
these two competing explanations of how body size affects patterns of
sperm evolution"
I DONT THINK SO.

Why is this video Important
*dude, the beginning literally was 2 elephants fucking*
Gobli no one said it's important
UNKNOWN if that's the only thing that impressed u perhaps u can watch more documentaries about nature
Oh. Okay.
Instead of watching this vid that says sperm like 20 time read my review,
Long sperm, Short in numbers- ideal for small mammals because of the size of their mate, can travel to egg most definitely and will impregnate quicker
Short sperm, Several in number -Ideal for larger mammals because some sperm won’t reach the egg due to large size of womb so will probably fail, but you have more so it’s all a follow the squad, at least there is a better chance of impregnating the female then sending a solo into a squad game to grab the victory royal
You da real MVP
Has society really shaped you to the point where it feels weird when someone says the word sperm
what is wrong with saying the word "sperm" in a video about it?
@@igormysagora8927 Ever thought about that some people may watch yt at work?

What about ants size
Ant breeding occurs during nuptial flights where the queen saves the male's sperm her into life to produce eggs.
Wasn’t expecting that intro
Elephant: oh yeah baby

Fly: I has over 6000 mm long sperm, try me m8!

*The first second of the video you already got me laughing.*
this is my lab... and _this_ is my Laboratory!!
You would think that an animal, such as the mouse, that fertilizes multiple eggs each pregnancy, would need more sperm than animal, the elephant, that usually only fertilizes one to two eggs per pregnancy. One would think it would be the other way around. Such as the mouse releasing billions in one ejaculation as opposed to thousands.
Size doesn't always matters.
Next time I hear someone claiming evolution is nonsense, I’m going to educate them about sperm.
Sub’d!
this is by far the weirdest kilian experience
a fruit flies sperm is 2 and a half inches long? what

Why wouldn't they?

The fly's sperm seemed more like a direct injection of another species at that point. Sheesh.
I thought this was gonna be a video comparing the massive size of a whale sperm cell with an entire full grown mouse side by side.
