PLEASE READ BEFORE COMMENTING ABOUT THE PLURALISATION OF OCTOPUS. We're getting a lot of comments saying it's 'Octopi'. It's not, it's Octopuses. Look here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octopus#Etymology_and_pluralisation
What is the actual plural of octopus?According to Merriam-Webster, both octopuses and octopi are acceptable plurals. The reason for the octopi plural is because some people mistakenly associate octopus with Latin words like syllabus and alumnus. ... However, the word octopus is actually of Greek origin. The plural of octopus in Greek is, in fact, octopodes. Never trust Wikipedia alone. ANYONE can put information on there.
Octopodes :) I have been around a while (in the 30 to 130 year range:P) so I trust Merriam-Webster because they have been around a LONG time. When I grew up I was into Science and I remember Octopi (Peni ?) and Fungi and other i's being used. I've never heard Octopodes before now, but I think I like it :)
Oh, you're one of those people who believes in space?... :/ Tip: When encountering a conspiracy theorist, one-up them, as seen above, and they will not know what to do, and potentially hurt themselves in confusion. :3
I wasn't aware that Octopuses have a history for the pre-history to preceed. Maybe that is why they evolved the ink sac in order to record a written history! (Joke)
My paleontology professor thought while lagerstatte literally translates to place of storage, it should be more inferred as meaning motherload to provide emphasis on the value of the fossils.
Thanks for the video! It is true what you said that the vampire squid appears to have characteristics of both octopodes and squids, but it's worth mentioning that squids are not really a monophyletic group. It's better to talk about decapodiformes (squids, cuttlefish, and extant and extinct relatives), and octopodiformes (octopodes, vampire squids, and extinct relatives).
I feel sorry for the octopi, they appear so intelligent yet limited by such a short life. We humans think that our hands gave us an evolutionary advantage, yet I wonder what a long-lived octopus could achieve. Maybe on one of the moons of Jupiter or Saturn we may find something of the like :-)
with rising temperatures. octopuses have been able to flourish in new places they couldnt before. and their fast birth rates allow them to adapt much faster. while it is sad that they arent able to live long lives. currently that adaptation is being very useful.
Before viewing this, I was not aware that cephalopods, especially octopuses, have been around for such a long time, or that there are fossils of those early forms. The Cambrian and, to some some extent, the Ediacaran eras are one of my interests. You just made my day by allowing me to learn something new. Thank you!
I commend you young sir for insisting on presenting your materials based on facts and testable theories. The choice of topics is refreshing and bold, never falter from this path like so many other promising channels. The darkside of youtube is no place for real science so keep up the new episodes!
I love your channel & that I recently discovered it.. It's a great tool for me to switch off from my daily stressors, be entertained and learn so many interesting facts, love it! Thank you 😊
Amazing channel! I am new and don't plan on unsubscribing ever! I'm honestly astonished you aren't more popular. Your videos are well structured, simple, very enjoyable, and cover almost everything I want to know about the topics. And interest me to do even more research on the topics. Keep up the amazing work and I hope to see you reach the top.
Cirrate octopods also have an internal shell, although being U or saddle-shaped it doesn't get called a gladius. It, like the gladius, supports the fins, so in animals that have them, it isn't vestigial. I'd also note that you shouldn't call the arms tentacles, as that's the two elongated arms (pair IV in squid).
So, by the sounds of it, ammonites are the opposite of omanytes; instead of their shells making them too slow to chase prey, it seems their shells made them too slow to escape predators.
Do you know why many of these guys have the little fun flaps on their heads? Where did the find come from? Did they have these fins or something like them when they had shells?
I can't say if the feature does not recur down the ancestral tree but I can say that they can ve present in both squid and octopus. I am really curious if the shelled varieties had them, or if they lack the feature like the nautilus. It would be super advantageous if the species lived in the water column.
this octopuses vs octopi war needs to stop. facts: English words ending with "-us" of Latin origin has a plural form of "-i" example: fungus - fingi English words ending with "-us" of Greek origin has a plural form of "-es" example: platypus - platypuses, or if you really want to be that fucking guy, platypodes
I bet life follows similar patterns all over the universe, I would be more surprised if it was some crazy type of life form like we see in science fiction films than if it was similar to life on earth. Evolution favours the best design and convergent evolution proves a good design will repeat itself many times.
The way you pronounce Lagerstätte sounds like Lagus-Tart.. ya rlly gotta look at how foreign words are pronounced, thatd be rlly nice. But besides that, I'm glad to have found this video! Squids need more attention, imo
Yeah that would be a good time, do you know when it's going to be? I've been trying to find out what week it is this year, and we were thinking of maybe doing a video per day for the whole week if we could manage that, so a video on Megatooth sharks would fit perfectly.
Ben G Thomas Should be July 22. My reason for this request is that, for all the talk about Megalodon, there’s hardly anything on it’s evolutionary history. I felt it would be a great subject for you to talk about.
I live and fossil hunt in the mazon creek area. Sadly, we may lose any opportunity to find more amazing fossils in this area. Alot of the spoil heaps have been bulldozed and strip mines filled with water :( also the mazon creek/Francis shale formation is also a laggerstatten. One of the best in the world, we even have jellyfish fossils ^-^. This is why its sad were losing opportunities to find more
Can’t believe that you only have 50k subscribers. What a beautiful channel, chock a block full of great videos that are each stuffed silly with currently valid paleontological knowledge. Please do *keep on truckin’*, sir.
Nice video!Octopus is very amazing animal,i see him past year on Jadran sea.Can you maby made one video about peterosaurs?They are really interesting too:)
I wonder if that the seas or maybe the water chemistry affected the usage and purpose of the shell on most animals then. The concentration of minerals in the water may have forced these creatures to develop some sort of buffer from parts of their bodies exposed to the water and the rest are hidden (by being buried or simply for protection). I understand that there are still creatures that have shells but it seems as though they have just managed to live on and adapted in the current water chemistry either in a marine environment or in freshwater.
The more I learn about our ancient past here on earth, the more I feel sad that every day more and more information is destroyed. Each fossil mentioned could easily have been destroyed by some rambunctious kid, or perhaps a mining company. How much of our past has been annihilated by unknowing humans? Not that knowing our past really has any bearing on our future, but I am saddened by the loss of information.
Technically it's both, as well as a third. "Octopuses" is the most correct in English based on standard English plural rules, "octopi" is based on attempts at Latinization of English and is the most common in everyday speech, and "octopodes" is based on a Greecinzation to correct the fact that "octopus" is of Greek origin and is the most fun to say. ak-top-O-dEz. :-)
Sorry, but all three are. They are all in common usage and all major dictionaries accept them. There is no final decision body for English as there is for French, for example; therefore, usage and major, accepted dictionaries are the only metric by which we can judge "correctness."
jonny pepperston I spell it "kidnapped," with two "p"s. I don't think that I can say I've ever seen it with only one. I wasn't even aware there was a debate on that one.
Very interesting Video! It's always a wonder how these soft-bodied animals fossilise through special geologic circumstances But I have to say that you've missed to pronounce the "e" at the end of Lagerstätte :o greetings from germany
All in all it was not bad! :o There's just a hard "e" at the end :) Are you going to create more of these evolution splitt videos? In my opinon that's a very interesting topic
its sort of hard to imagine the soft bodied creatures even the wild life with soft skeletons or proto skeletons, yet such things makes it difficult to preserve
Andy Crowley Sr. Well, technically squids do have a shell, but it's been internalized into their bodies, acting as a type of false backbone of sorts, this internal shell is called a Pen, this structure can also be found in the now extinct Belemnites too

At least octopodes are intelligent enough not to refer to themselves as "octopi" (sic!).

octopi is a false term
it is octopuses.
But if you want to be even more accurate
its octopodes.

Since they have no bones and are squishy, wouldn't that cause their forms to be HIGHLY distorted when they do fossilize?
