      If I only subscribe for the free month and run away before they catch me for the whole year, do I get my 20% off. It would be 20% of nothing, but it's the thought that counts. I could give that thought to someone I don't really like, like......my in-laws! Yes, it's the perfect gift for them. Or even better, I'll give it to them after I use the free month. Thank you for the idea, Ze Frank. You are 20% smarter than me.

    Fun fact about the cookie cutter shark:
    They, during the Cold War, helped maintain the high tension between the US and USSR by attacking their submarines as they mistook them for whales, resulting in both nations thinking their adversary had found a way to sabotage their vehicles deep underwater.

      I could easily take a shark in a fight; it would swim at me, I would dive and hold against its nose so it cannot bite me whilst I gouge its eyes out. I''ll be taking bets against me, since you fools think this impossible when punching shark noses is already proven to be effective. The killer is people panicking and just letting the thing eat them, like what happened in Egypt recently (poor guy).

    Also worth noting that cookie-cutter shark's bottom teeth are the biggest in comparison to their body size of any shark. They also just swallow their teeth when they're about to shed them. And they almost caused an international incident between the US and Russia during the Cold War. Cookie-cutter sharks were taking chunks out of the rubber sonar cones of nuclear submarines, but the US and Russia didn't know that at first and both sides thought the other was up to some kind of sabotage.

    Personally, I think the most intuitive way to understand how wings/fins work is as something that deflects the fluid it passes through down. A plane goes up because it pushes air down. A fish goes up for the same reason with water.
    The tricky part is that part of how wings often do this is that they also cause the fluid that passes over them to deflect downwards, due to things like boundary layer effects.
    This can all be modeled in pressure but pressure is generally a lot less intuitive for people.

    I dissected a shark once. I was young and silly and thought I could handle it with my bare hands despite the denticle skin. I learned real quick to wear gloves. And I just now noticed that fish defy the "predators have forward-facing eyes" stereotype. Love your videos, ZeFrank!

    • @RavagerZero
      @RavagerZero ปีที่แล้ว +12

      When you live in a 3D environment, laterally located eyes tend to work better as they allow clearer vision in the vertical plane.
      i.e.: you can more easily above and below, because threats (and food) may be located in those additional directions.
      Forward facing eyes on predators is a land-based bias. Maybe a little for avians as well, but they have different visual requirements.

    • @SuziQ.

      We all live in a 3D world/environment, unless you’re studying string theory.

    • @dimetrodon2250
      @dimetrodon2250 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      That bias usually only occurs with visual hunters. Animals like snakes and lizards which rely more on chemicals, smell, or heat detection don’t really need forward facing eyes for hunting. Sharks use multiple senses like electro-reception to sense their prey in a 3D space, so their eyes can remain on the sides of their heads to watch fir threats. In the ocean, everything is prey. Sharks are often cannibalistic, so being the top predator doesn’t excuse them from needing to look out for other sharks.

      @@SuziQ. our environment might be 3D, but we don't use that 3rd dimension. Underneath us is ground and above us is sky, nearly everything that's interesting happens on the horizontal plane between them. This is also why land animals, especially those big enough to not fear an attack from a bird or simply a considerably bigger land animal from above, rarely look up. The aquatic environment is different, all 3 dimensions are in use there.
