The Blind Cavefish | JONATHAN BIRD'S BLUE WORLD
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 лис 2024
- Deep underground, in caves, there is no light. Because there is no light, there is almost nothing for animals to eat. Yet life survives here. The top predator in these sunless ecosystems is a tiny blind cavefish, only a few inches long. These fish are extremely rare, only found in the dark recesses of caves. Jonathan joins Christine Loew, a veteran cave explorer, on a mission to film this elusive fish in Mexico's Riviera Maya.
Christine Loew is an amazing cave/cavern diving guide! We highly recommend her! If you are planning a cave/cavern diving trip to Mexico, drop her a line!

PLEASE NOTE....THIS EPISODE WAS FILMED BEFORE WE WERE CAVE CERTIFIED AND WE ARE WEARING SINGLE TANKS. THE CAVE WE ARE DIVING IN IS ONLY HALF FILLED WITH WATER. WHILE IT IS A TRUE CAVE WITH NO NATURAL LIGHT, THERE IS AIR ABOVE THE DIVERS ALMOST ALL THE TIME. AS A RESULT, THIS IS NOT TRUE "CAVE DIVING."

I love it when the water is so clear that it looks just like air.

8:37 ¨The Blind Cavefish needs to stay in dark where it is safe¨ he says as he shines a huge light at the blind fish.
Well, you can't film them in the dark.
I've heard of these infrared cameras.

As a new scuba diver, I have an all new appreciation for cave divers. Brave people in this video! Well done!
"This species is not blind" 7:20 *walks into a rock*
Lol.. but tbh, why the eyes, then?
It was a paid actor
If you happen to see an alien, your first reaction would be fleeing.

"I found a cave shrimp. This specie is not blind"
The shrimp: *bumps into something*
😂
Please see my UA-cam(●´ω｀●)
He said they’re not blind, didn’t say they weren’t stupid lol
It's amazing, you can tell that fish knows what is ahead of him and the curve of the rocks. Just goes to show that even though he doesn't have eyes, doesn't mean he can't see. Evolution is so mindblowing.
Exactly that's Evolutionism the loss of something. If it had eyes in total darkness wouldn't it bump it's eyes into rocks and get infected and die and the same blind cave fish all over the world why didn't they evolve separately. Scientific answer. Because all the caves in the world are or used to be connected with absolutely no scientific evidence to support the idea other than blind fish. Have you ever thought that maybe they were designed without eyes because they live in a cave.
Please see my UA-cam(●´ω｀●)(●´ω｀●)
Fish have a sensory area called a "lateral line" along each side of them. It is very sensitive to vibrations in the water caused by movement, sound etc. That's why even a blind fish will be able to notice something trying to catch it.
@@gordon985Oh they definitely evolved, there are countless different types of cavefish around the world. Most of them are close relatives of surface fish native to the surrounding area. For example, the Mexican blind cave tetra. This species varies greatly by where you find them. On the surface they are completely normal minnows with eyes, color and everything, but in the caves they are white, sometimes having vestigial eyes, sometimes sunken eyes covered by skin, and sometimes no eyes at all. This is an example of the process of evolution. You can see all the "steps" in real time. Many mutations and natural selection processes over the millennia.
Us humans in fact are responsible for some of our own evolution of our animals and plants. Most of our crops started out with very small fruits and edible parts. Over time we selectively bred them to grow bigger fruits, leaves, tubers etc. Before the chickens we know we're domesticated, they were a tropical bird species called jungle fowl. They used to be able to fly like a normal bird even. But after thousands of years of selective breeding, they are completely different. Much fatter to the point where they can no longer sustain flight, all kinds of different colors, increased egg production, ability to survive cold winters. That's evolution on a micro scale.
Now about the bumping into the walls thing, fish have many strong senses besides sight. They have a nerve area on their sides called the lateral line, that makes them very sensitive to vibrations. This allows them to sense their surroundings independently of sight. There are also many fish such as catfish that have whiskers, which are for the specific purpose of feeling around in the dark. Those fish have very good senses of smell as well. There are also even fish that create electric fields, like knife fish and elephant nose fish. They can sense interruptions in their electric fields from obstacles and can also sense the electric pulse given off by all animals. Elephant nose fish even use their electric pulse to communicate with each other.
Now I don’t even care about the cave fish anymore, I wanna know what creature those bones belong to
Amanda He shoulda research those and explain
It look like a wild big to me
Yeah thats way cool!!
Same here.

The narrator in the video is so good at speaking english making me sure enough to reach the highest score of my listening test.
These videos are amazing! I just stumbled onto them, very informative and well narrated!!
We have more than 200 of them, so that will keep you busy for a while!! :-)
(●´ω｀●)Please see my UA-cam🦆
You've got a new subscriber here. Very great content. 👊😎
“The cavefish needs dark to be protected” shines massive light on it😭😂🤣🤣
That was beautiful. If I'd be honest with you guys, I have this little fear of deep-dark water, but this type of videos made me think, "Why the hell was I afraid of something this beautiful?" So now I watch this type of videos more often and enjoy their beauty. One day, I hope to go and explore them for real.
I’m in love with this clear water and location
So cool! I love how you explained the details of everything you showed and also gave the fish like you would any other animal.
I hate my job.
Toy Forest everybody
@potato crystal, and divers.
Can relate.
At least you have a job to hate
@@catherineearnshawheathclif866 lol mah man
Thank you, you finally found my ex's jaw.
Diving in freshwater and now in HD. Thanks!
Freshwaters also have thousands of extraordinary creatures (fishes, shrimps, crabs, snails, sponges (Malawi)... And usually there are plants). Its a fascinating world but not many people look to the river of their area.
Thanks for showing a bit of the freshwater world too! Its great
Carlos Díez need job . I'm diver
Thank you for making this show.. We would have never known of such amazing underwater worlds !!
It's another world there.
Roses are red violets are blue
Its another world there i know it too
Well, it’s just another part of our world, just from a different angle.

Anaya hhghg
Anaya no humans to plague the water (:
I have snorkeling in a nearby cenote, they actually mentioned pet cemetery when we were there
Anaya there are lots of minerals to filter the water. It is literally a cave. And the limited number of organisms contribute to that.
Amazing! I was told there are devils in those dark and bottomless caves. But turns out there are full of life and magnificent views down there.
the water's so clear I thought the fish was flying
Sasa ong
Would that mean it was a “flying fish”?
I’ll see myself out...

Love ❤️ this video. Not only the water💦 is clear. But the resolution of your video was good.
Well I appreciate it so much.
Thanks.
This video made my day! Jonathan, you change your surname from Bird to Sea or Fish. An amazing diver and narrator. You will be the next Sir Attenboroug. The cave is just wonderful and the water is crystal clear. I gained a lot of knowledge today!
Amazing...Thanks for Showing us this amazing world.
Even life survives in complete darkness....wow it's really amazing.
Please see my UA-cam
That was amazing!❤️ the quality of the video and the awsome facts..💦💛
How is water that clear , i dont think even drinking water is that clear ,
I mean that much water looks blur
@@wordgardener5169 ur word gardening skills r really nice
I must appreciate it
Thank u
WAR BOT I deeply apologize-I didn’t plant those words -I have a special needs 14 year old I just took my phone away from🤣will delete all comments!
Yet i appreciate it , that justified ur name 😊
WAR BOT 💜
Cenotes are fresh water natural caves because it’s in caves and since they are natural water from underground from centuries ago it’s very blue
Great cave dive jonathan!!! That cavefish was amazing,too.
Thanks 👍
Marvellous!! Keep up the great work, Jonathan and team. Thanks for the great video.
This is why i pay for the Internet.
Looks heavenly........
in the world is that beautiful, especially in heaven
I’m so happy to find this page. I love it ❤️🌹💝❤️🌹💝❤️🌹💝
Loving the videos Jonathan and the team. Keep them up!

We watched this in science class today!! I was like I watch this guy!!!!
Awesome science teacher!!!
Its a heaven under water.Fantastic job!!! Love it.
love these vids
I was so amaze with this MV show.... I love it.
A big yes
Dear Jonathan I am your biggest fan I watch all your videos I've always wanted to scuba dive with you
Thanks!!
Solemn place underneath the cave. Crystal clear water. How amazing is God for making these creations. 😱😍
The first time I saw a short film on cenote diving, I was entranced by this purity of the water that made you feel that the divers were flying. In some areas, there were different layers of water, due to different densities as they were approaching the coast so I believe the salt water and the different temperatures all played a part in causing this phenomenon. Fascinating world.
It’s called the Halocline effect.
@@antovarguez thanks for the information. Nice word to know.
Hey, Jonothan bird, i used to watch this video when i was 5 now i am 11. i still watching them though. keep up the god work! :D
“Some sort of creature that walked in here and died” - Jonathon bird
ooh ooh me! this is great 👍👍😁😁
Oh my good water is so clear 😱😱
What a gracefully beautiful fish *Bump* woops 😊
OMG that water is soooooooo clear 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Amazing ❤️🔥 crystal clear water. 😍 loved it
WOW jonathan your videos are very interesting and incredible of how you go to many lovely places keep it up and carefull👍
Your videos are addictive to watch. especially the cave dives are great.
We have a new cave diving video coming out on Sept 17th!
I would be scared the cave would collapse while in there
Me too.
Or the stalactites all falling down
absolutely amazing ! I wish I could visit that place someday ....
Imagine if the whole ocean was clear
Clear means no bacteria, some bacterias are very useful in sustaining n creating aquatic lives, so be grateful that our sea isnt clear :D
Actually, 99% of the water that makes up Earth's oceans is crystal clear. There are many things that effect the level of clarity in the Earth's oceans and bacteria is a non-factor when it comes to water clarity. I am assuming that VOK is talking about Bacterioplankton which are so small they have little to no effect to water clarity.
Also, Life is only created by God not bacteria.
@@PH_INFO_101 life is created by evolution not god
@@Landgraf43 yeah
Very nice video sir Jonathan! It looks like another world😍
Amazing. .... a fish with no eyes
This video is awesome, keep up the great work.
the cavefish tail looks like the coelacanth tail could they be related?
Thanks for a great video. I love to see the beauty of the cave but I'm afraid of cave especially underwater.
Omg what a beautiful world
A clear water inside the cave....so amazing! The hidden paradise....
Clearlake , Ca has blind white catfish. There is a folklore story that Mt Konocti , the inactive volcano that sits next to the lake. Has a cave and empty open area that they are in.... supposedly someone dropped a painted can in the volcano top and it surfaced in the lake weeks later.
Wow....Wow....WOW...
It's😀😀😀 so...so.amazing..cave with crystal clear water...💙💙💙💙
This is amazing..but am afraid of dark water 😅
watching this vid is not just informative it also relaxes my mind watching these fish 😊

I got my open water last winter and I swear this dude is gonna make me go way farther than I would have otherwise
Was the water cold?
No, it's pretty warm.
I like the video... wish someday i go myself there... Thanks for this amazing video 😍
At kutumsar caves in bastar chhattisgarh India, there are blind fishes too, in a river flowing in that cave.
Nice video.

Is scuba diving allowed in those caves?
Oh my god! The water is soooo amazing 😮😍
Is it salt or fresh water?
Fresh.
@avakin kayla noo
@@subhash2358 why
Amazing clear water so tranquil, thks for sharing this informative video.
What if the lights stop working
That would be bad. Fortunately, cave divers carry a whole lot of extra lights.
Reading this gave me anxiety
@@BlueWorldTVcave divers carry a whole lot of extra lights!? That would be very heavy.
To add up, if it happens that all the lights are out forever, then those unknown bones would be getting a company sooner or later.
