I don't even need a whole camera crew making a big production, just set up a camera for a tardigrade live stream and I'd be hella happy! I just love seeing them 'walk' through the water!
You all probably dont care but does someone know of a way to log back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid forgot the password. I would appreciate any help you can give me.
My first thought was.. what if someone trying to survive lost in a forest comes along, squeezes some moss for a drink and drinks some tardigrades. I know they're not going to hurt you, but I wonder if the tardigrades would survive the trip through?
@@jarnovanderzee2469 Also because, when you can fly, you can exploit a lot of different niches. Everything from eating insects, to eating nectar, to fruits, to sucking blood - there are bats that do some or all of these.
*There was a water bear who I've known for a long time on the world wide cell. Shermon was her name. Now I know what you're thinking,* *"Shermon isn't a feminine name." Sure it is. There's a "her" in Shermon. Therefore, by default, Shermon is undoubtedly a name for a female!* *At least, that's what I've been told. I never actually met this "Shermon" membrane to membrane, but they insisted that they were the hottest waterbear in the microcosmos, which is a pretty bold statement, considering that they can thrive in over 151 degrees Celsius! (304 degrees F).*
I think one of the biggest reasons people love these little critters so much is because, compared to the majority of other microscopic life, they look the most similar to animals we would regularly keep as pets. I myself am a fan of rodents, and I used to regularly keep hamsters. The pudgy legs and the little black eyes, and the fat round bodies of tardigrades really remind me of cute little hamsters.
I love this video so much, the footage is so cute and clear, loved seeing one walk across the slide, and forever love the chill score and narration, this channel's always a good time.
These new microscopes are incredible! I feel like I could reach out to my screen and feel all the ridges and bumps! I never realized how much depth information was lost using extremely bright and old microscopes.
today they are called "bärtierchen" (in schools at least), which translates to something like "bearlittleanimals". 🐻 also: these videos are so calming, i need like 5 hours of hank talking like that, please. 😅
I'm a freediver, and I've spent countless hours observing the creatures in the ocean firsthand, and I can't help but feel like I'm looking at scaled down versions of sea creatures - fish, whales, eels, sea urchins, and even reef. "As above, so beneath" I suppose. P.S. you should do salt water MICROBIAL OCEAN CREATURES! HELLO?
What attacks/infects tardigrades? Have you come across any water bears that were injured? I’d love to see a video on the subject! Or a video on how the microcosmos deals with injury/healing
I wouldn't even be surprised if there were species that live in water droplets suspended in clouds. That just sounds like such a tardigrade-y thing to do, you know?
There are those extremophiles living around underwater volcanoes, which I suppose could be fire bear-ish enough, even if they aren't tardigrades exactly.
I don't know what these tardigrades are doing on the slides half the time, I just can't help but feel that no matter what it is, they're lichen it. Okay, okay, I'm leaving!!!
I'd love to see a longer documentary about the big-picture food chain of the smallest organisms, and how that scales up. Most food chain documentaries deal with bigger creatures, but I'd love to see the creatures making up food chain, and know more about their life cycles - time to reproduce, the amounts they eat, etc. A long term project that would require extra funding and resources, but it would definitely fill a gap in the documentary space.
As someone who frequently looks at stuff under a microscope, would you please do a video of how and where to collect successful samples of these marvelous creatures. I've been at it for almost 2 years and have yet to see a single tardigrade. My top three sought-after species are tardigrades, Hydra, and Nematodes.
this video reminded me why I'm studying biology- because it's wonderful and weird and amazing. it can be easy to forget that, with all the math classes and the crazy university workload but thank god journey microcosmos exists and keeps reminding me of how amazing biology actually is ❤
Adorable regarding terrestrial fauna have you looked at mites? There are apparently a diverse assortment of tiny mites and I don't know much about most of them like pretty much all denizens of the microcosmos .
Pro tip - Watching this before bed really soothes you to sleep. Next time I'll have to make sure I'm actually in my bed, rather than sitting (nearly falling out of) my chair!
Yall heard of Journey to Wondla? I read that book as a kid and think about it all the time, such a cool world. I'm mentioning it because it had GIANT TELEPATHIC WATER BEARS.
So I was thinking yesterday about tardigrades and how these wondrous, cute microscopic guys live in the most minutest amounts of water and I got to wondering how many of these little guys we humans and animals consume. I also got to wondering can these masters of survival go into cryptobiosis, make it through the digestive system and come out the other end unscathed? Or will our's and other animal's stomach acids eat through killing them like any other tiny insect that might make into our fresh picked produce?
"I'm not the one to teach you." Yeah, got that from your pronouncation of Wasserbaer. :) Thanks for a nice view into the microcosmos. Have missed loads of your vids, catching up now. Keep it up!
Master of the microscope, James, thank you for the beautiful videos! I'm studying pharmacy but I never get to see such beautiful little creatures... makes me want to work with you guys
I'm very surprised you haven't hit 1 million subscribes yet! This is my favorite youtube channel on youtube by a large margin. There is nothing else like this and the way the team captures and presents all this is perfect! Question: Does a tardigrade ever seem like it scratches it's back with those microclaws when it has an itch?
"here in this channel we know absolutely nothing about little micro creatures, they are tedious and hard to take care of, but we love em, and we know you do too~" Just kidding, im very aware you have full studies about the micro cosmos but i though it would be a fun quote ahehe
Tun Time-lapse!! Do it! Invent a slide that oxygenates and stays wet. I already thought of twenty different ways to do it, so can you. Maybe I’ll make that video! I got a Nikon microscope. I need some of that rad polarized light whatever but I’m on it.
Are tardigrades a family group or an independent phylum? I've seen some different things on the internet. Also wondering about those claws... modified hairs like a polychaetae worm?
I love how scientists have gotten more relatable in modern times. Hes just like yeah these other tardigrades seem more important but god damn are they a pain in the ass to look after so we focus on the easier one.
"Keeping up with the Tardigrades" sounds like a reality show that would love to watch!😅
I would totally watch an AntsCanida style Tardigrade docu-series!
I don't even need a whole camera crew making a big production, just set up a camera for a tardigrade live stream and I'd be hella happy! I just love seeing them 'walk' through the water!
Like meerkat manor!
Haa!
SouthPark creating Tardigrades that dance to Taylor Swift and become NFL fans was Great! Now i gotta go watch that episode again. LoL
You all probably dont care but does someone know of a way to log back into an Instagram account..?
I was stupid forgot the password. I would appreciate any help you can give me.
Have you tried to film tardigrades "coming back to live" from anhydrobiosis? That would be really cool...
I really want to try that soon myself! I'm not sure if this channel has a video about it but I've seen one elsewhere. 😊
I believe they have filmed it before. In the video where they talk about immortality I think?
@Brandon Taylor Not him but the person who runs the channel Jam's Germs. They work together for these videos on Microcosmos.
Rotifers really can't catch a break can they
I want to live in a water droplet in moss on a tree in a forest. 💧
Pickled Entropy it does sound nice....
You say this now, until you gotta TUN.

My first thought was.. what if someone trying to survive lost in a forest comes along, squeezes some moss for a drink and drinks some tardigrades. I know they're not going to hurt you, but I wonder if the tardigrades would survive the trip through?
That last one cracked me up. They're just trying their best, and absolutely can not figure out how to roll over, and it's great.
hey can you guys do an interview with James? I want to hear you guys talk even more in depth about the whole process behind this wonderful channel
here you go: th-cam.com/video/ERF1jkn2lxc/w-d-xo.html

Thinking about becoming a Tardigrade
use the Tardis !
Me too
Amazing! Did you know of that 6500 species of mammals, more than 1/5 of that is just bats?
Wow, I didn't know that.. nature is so fascinating! Got an urge to learn more about bats now :)
probly because they live in caves and every cave diverges to be their own species
@@jarnovanderzee2469 Also because, when you can fly, you can exploit a lot of different niches. Everything from eating insects, to eating nectar, to fruits, to sucking blood - there are bats that do some or all of these.
Did you know that 4 out 5 animals is a nematode

Thank you, Lord Rotifer, for blessing us with your knowledge.
That feel when even the microcosmos has influencers.
Don't trust them tardies they'll swallow you whole.
Keep em coming !, I look forward to your comments !

It just rained yesterday, I haven't found a tardigrade yet, and I've got more trees than I care to count.
LET'S GO
I wish you luck in your endeavors
Did ya find one?
@@Mango-cz2st I misjudged how much rain had occurred and there were no wet trees.
@@Michael-hn8bo :o that sucks
How about now?
They're all so cuteeeee ! I can just sit here and watch them paw their way through all day. Fascinating.
Amazingly, land bears can sometimes be found standing in streams! Nature’s surprises never end.
5:30 "Milnesium SWOLENSKI"
*muscle hank liked this *
I miss that guy
Die kleinen Wasserbären sind wirklich niedlich :)
The small water-bears are really cute :)
*Bursts into the petstore* Y'all got Rotifers? I gotta feed my Milnesium.
Petstore worker: You did what with whose mom?
3:49 SO DARN CUTE, little water-bears with a sun tan!!
The real-time visuals, the narration and the background score...so pleasing and we love learning it...mad respect for this show!!!
Do you know that joke about three tardigrades?
Three tardigrades enter a coffee,
Nobody noticed

Of course, I used your last tardigrade video that is old, but still.

Can't wait for the videos on fire bears and air bears.
Gotta catch ‘em all!

@@Mango-cz2st No comprendo my guy, who are you whooshing and why?
Also let's talk about dragons. Which kind is your favorite? Just seawings?
The ramizottius is the cutest tardigrade I've ever seen
The new scope is mind numbingly clear and crisp.. Excellent video and content. Please keep them coming !

I really, really love your show.
1:43 OMG! Looks at the the Tardigrades beady little eyes! 😍
What cute kleiner wasserbär 💙
It's mesmerizing how the individual cells slosh around, shooting up and down as they smack into each other.

You're right, the fresh water ones ARE cutest
I’ve lived over 7 decades & only now discovered what I want to be when I grow up
5:19 really reminds me of that kid marching into the room when her dad is doing a newsreport
I agree; they are cute ! I feel sorry for their trying and trying to get somewhere, and it just looks like they are paddling water. Aarre Peltomaa
3:08 The grizzly tardigrade and the polar tardigrade!!

I enjoy Hank's quiet narration. Would like it if he did more similar narratives on other Complexy channels.
Such great footage.. Love these little guys
"I'm not the one to teach you." Yeah, got that from your pronouncation of Wasserbaer. :)
Thanks for a nice view into the microcosmos.
Have missed loads of your vids, catching up now.
Keep it up!
watching this right after the 7 days in a week video is jarring what with hank not being psycho
The last clip is stressing me out XP Seeing it paddeling its little legs and not getting anywhere
Thanks for the beautiful episode as always
0:33 What is he walking on? And what does he think he's walking on?
He's swimming through a relatively viscous fluid (to him) all the time. If he can grab things he does but he's often swimming.
Is the camera on the bottom, looking up? Maybe that's why I'm confused.
@@PhilipSmolen yes
Your microscope guy has the best job in the world
1000 species that we know of, they've been around for a while, they are probably like beetles
Master of the microscope, James, thank you for the beautiful videos! I'm studying pharmacy but I never get to see such beautiful little creatures... makes me want to work with you guys
thanks for saying so
You are an excellent narrator.
Also your ASMR of science haha
MAN that new telescope! This footage is incredible!
It would be great if you could explain more of the Latin-derived terms, including the origin of the various genera, in your videos
I'm very surprised you haven't hit 1 million subscribes yet!
This is my favorite youtube channel on youtube by a large margin. There is nothing else like this and the way the team captures and presents all this is perfect!
Question: Does a tardigrade ever seem like it scratches it's back with those microclaws when it has an itch?
Tardigrades always look like they're climbing an invisible ladder lol
Nice little bit about model organisms at the end :)
Tardigrades stress me out. When I see them move all I can think of is having a dream where I'm trying to run
"here in this channel we know absolutely nothing about little micro creatures, they are tedious and hard to take care of, but we love em, and we know you do too~" Just kidding, im very aware you have full studies about the micro cosmos but i though it would be a fun quote ahehe
Another wonderful video again. Thank you. I miss tardigrade videos.
Those woods are so beautiful that it makes me regret watching in 360p to save data.
4:41 HE’S DANCING!!!!!!!
Also, have you ever seen Echiniscoides sigismundi?
Thanks for my biology class today!
"It's like watching your cat's paws from underneath a glass table"
Tardigrades are soooooo cute!!!!
Thanks for uploading. Made my day better
I love water-bears so much !
Commenting for support
Greetings from Germany XD
I love my Bärtierchen
Being a microorganism sounds like the perfect life.
9:17 Implying scientists have enough free time to do anything but their work. Hah, as if...
Tardigrades in ultra high resolution? My day is now complete.
Tun Time-lapse!! Do it! Invent a slide that oxygenates and stays wet. I already thought of twenty different ways to do it, so can you.

Tardigrades are so cool! (Sorry if I spelled anything wrong)
👍Your spelling is correct.
I wonder what will evolve from the tardigrades. they are cute lol
German "Bär" is actually pronounced much like english 'bear'. Those umlauts are there for a reason, you know.
I love how scientists have gotten more relatable in modern times. Hes just like yeah these other tardigrades seem more important but god damn are they a pain in the ass to look after so we focus on the easier one.
@4:40 - and this is how I danced in the eighties...
Best channel to watch before bed :)
GONNA GO FIND ME SOME NICE LITTLE MOSS PIGGIES
Jadi inget 1 tahun yg lalu, waktu afgan menolak konser bareng dgn band gigi dan coklat. Karna liat judulnya " ayo saksikan gigi afgan coklat "
The best reality show
There so adorable & fascinating 😍🔥🔥
That's all well and good with your sponsor, but do they have the looming existential threat of a cartoon owl to motivate me?
1:40 Come on, enough talk, help him 😅 i cannot concentrate on what you say and this wakes up my ocd 😂
I would like to purchase the equipment necessary to find and see water bears myself. What microscope and equipment do you suggest?
I’ve been waiting for a video like this! Terrestrial tardigrades 😍
