    Thousands of animal species use toxic chemicals to defend themselves from predators. Snakes have blood clotting compounds in their fangs, the bombardier beetle has corrosive liquid in its abdomen and jellyfish have venomous, harpoon-like structures in their tentacles. But how do these animals survive their own poisons? Rebecca D. Tarvin details the strategies that protect animals from themselves.
    Lesson by Rebecca D. Tarvin, animation by Giulia Martinelli.

    The easy answer actually is that those poisonous animals remember that: the pellet with the poison is in the vessel with the pestle. The chalice from the palace has the brew that is true. If the chalice from the palace should ever break, then the flagon with the dragon has the pellet with the poison and the vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true :)

    i feel like the question should be more of a “how” rather than a “why.” like, “why” don’t they poison themselves? because that’s suicide. “how” don’t they poison themselves inquires explanation of their method of prevention. idk, it’s a trivial thing and i could be wrong, but that’s the first thing that came to my head when reading the title. great video though. i always look forward to tedtalks and ted-ed videos.

    Species evolving all the time just to stay in the same place... that’s the Red Queen Theory, named after The Red Queen in Through The Looking Glass. She said to Alice, ‘Now here, you see, it takes all the running you can do to stay in the same place. If you want to actually get anywhere, you have to go twice as fast.’, just like how creatures are evolving all the time just to stay in the same place. If they actually want to get anywhere, they obviously have to go twice as fast!

    What happened to Darwin after that beetle released venom

  • @sebastiannielsen
    @sebastiannielsen 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I don't agree with the quote by Paracelsus. The reason is that there is different between something poisonous and something dangerous. For something to be poisonous, there must be a mechanism that does actively do harm to a living being (for example blocking neurons, killing/mutating cells, neutralizing the immune defense or similiar mechanism). Something that passively do harm, for example by replacing the oxygen (suffocating) or defying a person from vitamins, isn't simply a poison. One example of a non-poisonous but dangerous gas, is Nitrogen, as it can replace air in a closed area, but it isn't poisonous, the gas is completely inert.
