There may be many kinds of sharks, but there is only one kind of Brain Scoop translator: awesome. Thanks Kelleen Browning, Tony Chu, Martina Šafusová, Barbara Velázquez, and Seth Bergenholtz!
Teaching you more about sharks in six minutes than the Discovery channel manages with an entire week. Nice one Emily.
Sharks have a Chuck Norris week.
Emily, your ability to pronounce the scientific names never ceases to amaze. I love your channel, and always look forward to the manner in which you present the information (very excited, yet never lacking a sense of humor).
This was really interesting! Thanks, Emily!
Thank you for working so hard to present us with fact based entertainment about sharks! Much better than anything on TV these days. :)
Your scientific job and artistic background are huge inspirations for me, as well as your fashion sense!! Thank you for making such fantastic videos, I look up to you as a role model.
I kind of don't want this series to end. It felt like it was just beginning.
I think that if I were in any of these orders, I'd be in the Squaliformes. "Sleeper Shark" is a pretty accurate description of my work habits.
Sly, stealthy, and vicious?
...with antifreeze in your skin? That's actually awesome.
seigeengine More like awkward and passive :D
I had no idea Tiger Sharks and Great White Sharks were in different FAMILIES. I would have thought they were as close as a donkey and a horse!
Yep sharks from those seperate Orders last shared a common ancestor during the age of dinosaurs in the Jurassic period (so sharks like those evolved to be apex hyper-predators completely independently)
^ Shark tooth collectors can especially notice this, given how different great white and tiger shark teeth are. Tiger shark teeth closely resemble the relatively blunt and angled blades of a saw blade, while great white teeth are much more elongated and either broad (upper jaw teeth) or slender (lower jaw teeth). Even if both are still very effective and serrated like steak knives
I love the shark videos! Especially the archival photos and video. You're doing a great job, Emily! :)
I thought Sharks were members of a predominantly Puerto Rican street gang. I /learned/ something today
Theyre both dangerous. Actually sharks arent that dangerous. And gang members might be overrated too. Hmm...
theuglyzone Gang members, guerrilla street dancers, tomoayto tomahto
They rarely attack swimmers, but will dance their asses off at the slightest provocation.
You watch way too much musicals!
Thank you so much for the use of visuals, these orders are beautiful! Shark week ftw!!
Soooooo much better than Discovery! Thank you, Emily and Brain Scoop gang!
All of these shark videos have been so fascinating and informative! Thanks Emily! :) (Side note: you hair game is so awesome I'm inspired to get more creative with braids)
This is far better than shark week on the TV. I haven´t seen a good documentary about sharks since I were a kid.
Oh, and nice dress Emily!
Omg I'm so glad you did this video, I've always been confused about the different types of sharks and how rays and sharks are related (also, that dress is amazing)
This is brilliant. It's been a while since I've seen so many videos that focus on shark fact; the things that make them unique and amazing! There's so much "sharknado" in this years shark week that it's nice to find something with educational value. Thank you! :)
I knew that manta rays had no bones, only cartilage. I knew that sharks were the same in that sense. I also heard once that they are "cousins." But I never heard of a manta ray being called a shark
I have loved these shark videos! Thank you so much for making them!
would it be possible to do something like this for other creatures that have such a wide variety of looks and characteristics?
That's an awesome idea! I would love to have a mid year other consecutive days to celebrate another group of animals.
I agree with this and Veronika. Having mini weeks every so often dedicated to certain classes of animals would be fun.
that would be amazing.
Such as raccoons!
Ret Samys YES!! Raccoon week. The magic of brainstorming
The sharks are ridiculously varied! Or maybe the thing is that our concept of shark is too narrow :)
i was surprised, too! I thought that only shark-shaped ones were sharks, lol.
I'm sure it was a lot of work, but I for one have particularly enjoyed this video every day from Brain Scoop :) Maybe have two videos a week?
Facinating video as usual with top quality editing. I am loving all the shark videos
This is such a fun and informative video! I'm totally going to check out the rest of your uploads now! :D
It makes me happy to see the museum collections in the background. A perfect stage.
Emily, you have a way of teaching me things I never knew I wanted to learn. I'm always fascinated!
I am just impressed with how well you pronounce all of the scientific names! I would have to practice those and do so many takes to get them right. I love all of these videos, keep up the good work!
There is a green sawtooth at the Shedd Aquarium. She usually stays still in the back of the big reef tank, but it's totally worth the (sometimes long) wait to see her move. Such an amazing sight!
Holy moly! I had no idea sharks were so varied! This was a great episode. :3
Sharks are so incredibly fascinating! This was an awesome several consecutive days dedicated to predatory cartilaginous fish! (Also, great name for these calendar days!)
Thank you! I love taxonomic breakdowns like this. I hope you make more of them in the future. Thanks Emily and the Field Museum and everyone else (e.g. Hank Green, Michael Aranda) involved in producing this content!
And hey, I don't suppose the Tom McNamara mentioned in the credits is the same guy who is stage manager on The Soup, is he?
I had no idea that some of those are sharks! especially the manta and sting rays, wow!
I learn so much here, and you make it fun to listen to. :)
It's so strange that we never hear about these types of sharks, society is so fixated on the Great White, which true, is a fearsome creature. But a shark that can hyper-extend its jaw? Poisonous skin? That's an incredible force of nature! I would love to hear more about how those sharks feed, mate and just generally live life.
Also, not particularly science-y, but that dress is fantastic. I also appreciate strange pieces of the sharks you show as well as the pictures and videos. The devil baby and saw nose add a different and intriguing dimension to the information.
Great video, thank you Emily and Brain Scoop! Also, that dress is fantastic.
Emily, you are the best! Thanks for all of this great information about sharks, the more public interest in sharks, hopefully the fewer will die in the future! I'm sure other fans of the chondrichthyes thank you as well.
Sorry for going off topic, but that dress is cool:)
What a great video. I had no idea there were so many orders of sharks! Thanks! :D
I had no idea that rays were in the shark family! So cool!
I had no idea there were so many species of shark (some of which I had no idea even were kind of sharks to begin with, like manta rays)! Thanks for this very interesting video :)
Hey Emily, I really appreciate the science and awesome that you provide for my viewing pleasure. Keep it up.
Two important things!
1. I'd love to know everything about that alligator gar behind you. Holy cow those things are incredible.
2. Do an episode about the different kinds of electric fish!!
I can't get over how awesome it is to have sharks with built-in anti-freeze!
Thanks so much for the video Emily!
Yeah for a shark weed dedicated to learning about sharks instead of fearmongering. I had so idea that sawfish were a type of shark. Thanks Emily and everyone at the Field Museum.
Such a good job this week Emily!! You definitely outdid yourself. However, I wonder, did you forget a group on this afternoons episode? The Racooniferous Shark? I keep seeing it in your episodes! ;)
Awesome video! I love classes and learning how they're all related, but why they're different. And Emily, your dress is to die for. Man. In addition to being the smartest TH-camr, you're the cutest too!
I always crack up and smile a little when I read "several consecutive calendar days dedicated to predatory cartilaginous fishes" it seems like such an absurd title but I love it. :)
This was awesome! Thanks, guys!
Port Jackson sharks! Wobbegongs! Yay!
Excellent and informative video, as always.
wobbegong's sound like a pokemon and look like something out of a children's book and some of those rostrum's look like they should be the weapon of a video game character omg, so so cool. also, i'm jealous of that dress emily!
This video is both fun and educational, and I greatly enjoyed watching it! If anyone knows of a video I can show my stepdad to prove that sharks are important and vital in this world, I would be eternally grateful.
i have to admit i wasnt aware there where so many sharks. i heard of wobbegongs but didnt know they where sharks.
btw your dress is awesome, i can't figure out if its new or antique, its very rare to see checker patterns on cloths these days. i'd love to know where you got it.
whoever directed this series of shark videos must be a Wes Anderson fan
Now I will indeed miss Shark Week, ooops, I mean several consecutive days of catalagenous fishes.
What an educational Five Consecutive Calendar Days Dedicated to Predatory Cartilaginous Fishes this was!
Thanks [The] Brain Scoop!
I love this series, you made sharks interesting. Animal planet has been trying to do that for years, you did it in 6 minutes, I hope they're mad.
I had no idea that rays were technically sharks! Always learning from your site Emily ^^ keep up the good work
*show
Thank you for the Several Consecutive Calendar Days dedicated to Predatory Cartilaginous Fishes!
And I hope things get better for you now that you've decided to block the people harassing you. Seriously, anything you want us to do, we're here for you.
Thanks so much for the very informative video, Emily! :D
I have a little criticism though: don't let that coloring take control of the image again, idk if it's some editing software tweak or if someone (or you) thought it looks good, either way it doesn't look good at all, your skin looks blue and just weird.
Other than that I have no complaint of course, the content is always top notch, keep it up! :D
Wish there were going to be more videos on sharks! I've really enjoyed these videos! ^_^
Holy cow, I had no idea sawfish could get that large.
Wow, did not know so many different types/Orders. You should come up with a full year Calendar displaying examples of the 12 orders.
Aww you gave away the freak of the week in the video!! If you haven't go check out BrainScoop on tumblr for a double dose of photos, stories, and updates from The BrainScoop at The Field!
I love how you call them Predatory Cartilaginous Fishes
I had no idea rays were a type of shark. That's really cool
I love sharks, shark week, and your whole channel!!!! Love your dress, too! Sharks are so cool tho.
Idk why I laughed when she said 'wobbegongs' 😂😂
These videos are awesome. I would suggest re doing the theme song. The current song makes it sound like I'm going to start watching a kids television show.
I loved this! Learned some much!
I had no idea manta rays could get to be 9m across. Good thing they are gentle squidgeypots that just wanna fly underwater and filter feed.
I love actual educational videos but I'm just hoping there's no test coming. Great videos this week though. Much appreciated.
I never heard of that winged hammerhead shark. Yay for learning!
Love your content, this channel is a dream for lovers of learning and especially science and nature like myself and many there's! I do however have a question, why are Carcharhiniformes called "ground sharks"? When you said they were ground sharks I expected you to say that they were sharks such such as wobbegongs, nurse sharks, angle sharks and epaulette sharks because of their bottom dwelling or "grounded" nature. Blue sharks especially, seem to be just the opposite of that as they are capable of traveling through thousands of miles of open ocean. Keep up the great work!
I've really enjoyed learning about predatory cartilaginous fishes these past 5 consecutive calender days. Though I do fear now you've spoiled us with 5 videos in one week it's going to be hard to go back to one every two weeks again.
Super awesome video I learn so much! And the dress looks dope
Manta rays are sharks.. Wow! I will need to look into this even more haha
Are you wearing different glasses, Emily? Also, thank you so much for this video! So cool!!!!
"Perpetual state of dumbfoundedness" -the brainscoop 2014
So I totally love this video and all of the shark things, but I have to say I absolutely love your dress.
This video might be a little old, but I am totally sharing this with my coworkers at Discovery for Sharkweek!
Best Shark week ever!!
I knew manta rays could get large... but thirty feet?! And that freaking sawfish snout thing is freakin' huge! This blew my mind! I'd love to go diving with a manta that large... maybe not the sawfish tho...
Whoa, I'd never heard of frilled sharks. Gonna go on a shark google-binge tonight.
Also, I really hope you all some more detailed episodes on predatory cartilaginous fishes before next year's designated consecutive calendar days. There are so many specialized and uniquely fascinating species to explore and clearly the Field Museum has no shortage of specimens. I desperately want more content about sharks that showcase their amazing qualities without resorting to sensationalism and outright lies.
at first i was like im gonna dislike the video because it didnt say it still has brains on it, then it did and now i like the video!
I like the old home movie/projection show look, that the clips have in this video.
Shark Week was never a great time for me, because I never understood the mania of it. Sharks are just another part of life to a sailor, like any other fish. They are always with us, just take one of those helicopter rides up a coastline and you will see hundreds of them just offshore everyday. For the first time the Brain Scoop has made me love this week, with its interesting facts. Emily did an awesome job on the writing and her pronunciation of all those polysyllables was as much fun to listen to as was the video to watch. I loved it all, and while as a scientist Emily is definitely fantastic and fun to watch with her enthusiasm, I must say I was astounded by that saw. What an awesome planet we live upon. I can't wait to hear and see more.
Excellent video. I would've never guessed rays were orders of sharks. You turn a topic (taxonomy) that most people would find boring into a funny and very informative video ^^ I'm definitely going to investigate more about the greenland shark and saw fish... and also the electric ray... they're all pretty badass ! Unrelated note : your hair is badassly braided... how do you do that ? o_O
If only the Discovery Channel was as cool and awesome as The Brain Scoop.
Awww the wobbegong is a cute shark :3 aaaand it's name sounds familiar *googles* Ah yes, of course. It can be found around Australia hence the clearly Australian sounding name.
this was my favorite 5 consecutive days dedicated to cartilaginous fishes ever!!! way better than that weird $4@9k week
I enjoyed watching this video very much =). Please make more of a similar nature
shark week done right
Incredibly informative.
How big would the saw shark be that that saw came from?
Wow! Great outfit!
Awesome video! I found this pretty interesting. Do you have any videos on whales? :)
It is actually electric or is it ionic like the human nervous system?
Unless I'm seriously mistaken all electricity is ionic. But I do get what you're asking and the answer is that it's like the nervous system. Electric Sharks/eels/rays have special organs that allow them to detect/discharge electrical pulses. In fact, the electrical organs of the electric eel inspired Alessandro Volta to create the voltaic pile which was then used to create the modern day battery.
thx for this amazingly ha bisky vid i am surprised how many of those shark names i already knew
Nice vid! Is that an Alligator Gar behind you?
What is your opinion regarding the shark culling currently occurring in Australia?
Just went snorkeling with a few nice Lamniforms (Basking Sharks) a few weeks ago in Scotland. (Dang can't post a pic...) :(
Don't forget that most endangered of shark species, the '59 Cadillac Land Shark.
"Wobbegong" -- I was searching for a clever Garrison Keillor reference, but I got nothing.
