Bryozoans are invertebrates, but the way that's explained in the video is pretty misleading. Not all invertebrates have an exoskeleton or are particularly closely related to arthropods, the phylum containing insects. There are around 40 phyla of animals. One of them contains the vertebrates. The rest are all invertebrates, and only one of those phyla is the arthropods. Bryozoans specifically are much more closely related to brachiopods, ribbon worms, molluscs, and segmented worms than they are to arthropods, and exoskeletons aren't a particularly common feature in most of those phyla. This is an old video, but I didn't see a correction anywhere, so I thought I'd provide one.
*Thank You* i hope my lack in ability to retain the 'Order', [wording?]^ of specific life forms has been hindered with your information. *Cheers!* ^ Linnaean system: 'classification system', levels of taxa - i looked it up. : }
Thank you for this video! Rachel, your energy and passion are contagious!!! And the reading of “Hey, Water!” made me tear up. My inner child was just beaming!!! Thank you so much for spreading the love and information ❤️🫂
That is a very interesting creature! Love your enthusiasm - thanks for sharing this. Also; I bet it feels amazing to touch. Lovely Hey Water kids book, as well.
I found a zoa as a child like 35 years ago, I'm pleased the old memory matches with what I'm seeing here. I have wondered what it was ever since. I wonder if there would be a benefit to add to an aquarium, the live kind not the plastic ones. I have similar things in my salty tanks.
I thought zebra mussels would serve the same purpose and am still contemplating gathering some for my fancy goldfish tank Did you try? I've only seen them once at the farm nature center in West Saint Paul, blew my mind
my friends have land in MS with freshwater ponds and for 20 years have never seen these. All of the sudden they’re everywhere, they thought aliens were invading!
What a really pleasant video, and the presenter was awesome as others have said, what great enthusiasm. Thanks for your hard work and this fantastic video!
These critters are amazing ! Thank you for all your enthusiasm and information! I live near a small lake in NW Wisconsin, and have seen Bryozoans there. What happens to them in the winter when the lake freezes? It seems that we can not find them anywhere in the spring, but will see them again by late summer or fall.
So they tend to form around sticks so they can have a place to filter, but what happens if they break off like this one did? Does the colony have a method of locomotion? Or the ability to attach to a new location? Or do they just float in open water?
Every SINGLE public service announcement i have seen about these things say the same thing “DO NOT TOUCH THEM”. So I hope this is a qualified and licensed by the state to remove these things from the water. After they have literally put out dozens of commercials warning not to worry about them and not to touch them. They are filters and they clean the water. Removing them negates that process.
With all due respect, the narrator sounds like she's both unprepared & in her first year of teaching 2nd grade. Add interesting as this subject may be, she's annoyed me to the point that I can't pay attention anymore.

@@kareno8634 LOL You did apologize for any missaying of things. No harm done!
I absolutely love her enthusiasm.
It's nice to know they are busy filtering the water as they live their best lives.
Impressive.
Living their best lives? What are you smoking so that I know to never try it.
Thank you for this video! Rachel, your energy and passion are contagious!!! And the reading of “Hey, Water!” made me tear up. My inner child was just beaming!!! Thank you so much for spreading the love and information ❤️🫂
I've seen many of these kayaking, and am always thrilled to see them. Most people I'm with have never even heard of them.
That is a very interesting creature! Love your enthusiasm - thanks for sharing this. Also; I bet it feels amazing to touch.
Lovely Hey Water kids book, as well.
I found one of these years ago, had no idea what it was until I got home and started Googling. Such a crazy looking thing!
Just found this video after researching Bryozoa. I LOVE your passion for these weird lil guys 🥰❤️🫶 great video!
I saw one stuck on a big rock after watching the movie Enemy Mine. Yeah i was thinking alien egg. 😂
Just found these in our lake in Ontario Canada near Algonquin Park. Thank you for the info it was helpful in explaining what they are
"zoids" is such a great word

I might use these in aquariums. If they help keep water clean then it might keep fish, dwarf frogs, and axolotls healthy.

Did you try? I've only seen them once at the farm nature center in West Saint Paul, blew my mind
Hey, I have been interested in fossil bryozoans, and your video was great! Thanks!
This is so cool! We have these in Pennsylvania. I was out kayaking and happened upon some of these! Pretty neat stuff!
i will try to check if someone eat that on weird mukbang
It’d be nice if you’d update you’re findings lol.
@@jovsslovess7665 still waiting
Chances are it's a weird, blue-haired freak doing it...
"Mis- saying of names ?!?!?!" Are you serious?!? The word is MISPRONOUNCIATION of names. How can you be this ignorant!?!?
I literally said to myself “wonder if there are people who eat those things”
Cor ! She is so cute ! 😘
Cute, intelligent, educated, enthusiastic about teaching and nature, great personality. I'll bet she's a great person to know.

Thank you for sharing!!! We have them in our lake in SC. So cool to know what they are. Love your show!

That bryozoa bout to make me act up
What a nifty critter, Wood lake is a gem of a nature center, does the bryozoan have an odor?
There's an Old farm that is a nature center in West Saint Paul where I saw a similar looking thing but it pulsated, freshwater sponges possibly?
So they tend to form around sticks so they can have a place to filter, but what happens if they break off like this one did? Does the colony have a method of locomotion? Or the ability to attach to a new location? Or do they just float in open water?
The enthusiasm in this video
Here for it.
Dear Naturalist Rachel!
Thank you for teaching me about bryozoan with such awesome energy!
Down bad man!! Grab me dat alien sponge !!!
I love your enthusiasm!
That is AWESOME
Whoah!!! I live in the desert so I've only ever seen man-inroduced species in man made ponds, but wow these guys are cool!
These are my people… if you feel represented in this video, you might be a mycologist
The ladder on my subdivision's boat dock is covered in these things and they're so bizarre looking
Fascinating
Big ol brain
This is so cool!
wow that's awesome!
Very interesting. I doubt that the whole is the same as the sum of its parts. The supraorganism should have properties that the individuals don´t have
Micro organisms when they see bryozoan 👀
Yes show us the jelly creatures
This is awesome
Oh, man! I've seen those before. I just thought they were poliwog eggs.
Wow! Nice!
Very cool
Just found one on lake darbonne in farmerville, La on my boat ramp
I found some in barren river lake in KY
this deeply upsets me
How do I get to this wood lake place?
Maybe by using the same device that you asked that easily answerable question on??
It looks like The Brain from Planet Arous.
bryozussy 😳
Holy fuck that thing is a bilaterian!?!?!
If needs must
What did that remind me of when she first turned it over? It’s on the tip of my tongue.
if something that reminds you of this is on the tip of your tongue, I think you need to go to a doctor
Her hair says EVERYTHING I need to know.
And they are gluten free.
Sir!!…. Siiiirrr!!!!!🤣🤣🤣
Who else is here from the UA-cam short
I would never look at something like this and instantly think of eating it. Gross.
People who sound like they know what they are talking about but don’t are dangerous.
thought she was gonna cook and eat it
Is that Bryozoan supposed to have green hair or is it sick?
😄

she’s so hot!
Idk bout that but she's got some big uns
Lmao u blind
Bruh what
@@avennmevhora3595 no bruh you bind
The hair did me in... Just so childish...
Practice looking at the camera without looking off to the sides. Ron W4BIN
Wear some gloves, it turned your hair green
Are you an SJW?
was it the green hair?
I read that Malcolm X was an SJW and it TOTALLY ruined him for me!!
Cringe
What does SJW mean?
