One thing I love about this young man is his delightfully descriptive language.

Studying cuttlefish senses is actually extremely important for the simple reason that they are the animals in nature that have the closest to active camoflage we have ever seen. They can basically shapeshift to match the color and texture of anything around them (including man-made ones--there is an amazing experiment where the researchers make a mini living room to see if it can blend into things like a couch). This raises an interesting question of just how the cuttlefish manages to make its skin match its surroundings, when it can't see in all directions. Think about it, how does the cuttlefish make its top side look like the material below it? Nobody knows, which is why their senses are such an investigated thing.

A lot of that research is military, as the US Army REALLY wants to have invisible vehicles.

There’s a video of a dad punching an incoming seagull and that man is my hero because seagulls have more than enough audacity for any species. Seagulls are such menaces and my high school campus was always swarming with them, especially after lunch. It got to a point where they got beef with a local murder of crows and my P.E. class just watched it happen from a safe distance. I’m not entirely sure who won but it’s the only massive avian air battle I’ve ever seen.

The cuttlefish study is actually super important, mostly because it showed and proved that while their eyes are slightly different to ours (famously our eyes are nearly identical, but theirs are better formed and process images in the eyes themselves rather than their brain (like us)), they still see similar to us.

That's true! Rhinos when brought up by humans are like dogs. They'll follow you around and snuggle up with you. They've even been known to protect humans, especially kids.

In the Academic community there is no such thing as a "wasted" study. If it can get a Grant its worth doing. Once had the dubious pleasure as a student to clean out the floor used by a Professor and his team who had done nothing for 25 years but run study after study based on what Grants he could get. Had to use an industrial shredder to shred the couple hundred file cabinets of data that had likely cost Government millions. Tossed it all.

12:26 the fun thing about science is we never know what we’re gonna get out of it.

Maybe this depth perception experiment yields results in new ways to improve people’s vision.

Well, I guess I have blessed soul since I do remember watching the original Flipper. I am turning 70 in two days.

YOU SEE!??!? YOU is what DEVILRY comes about when you do NOT TOSS THEM FRIES OUT THE WINDOW AT THE DRIVE

I love the mile an hour delivery... I have learned a lot from this young man. Keep up with his videos... he deserves the support

[inaaronshead]

Yep nineties, when Nickelodean use to change over to Nick at Night; around 5-5:30pm. As well as on weekends but changes at 12pm noon.
Flipper, courtship of eddies father, the flying nun, etc.

[George-uxzz]

I used to watch seagulls chase each other around. It was like 2 fighter jets in a dog fight.

[maryheicher]

this kid is hysterical and I remember Flipper (the original)

[cherylhurst]

I was a child when Flipper was on. I am really disturbed by sea creatures at this point.

[Austin_Wingfield]

You've been absolutely killing it lately. Thank you

[kennydeez..]

YAAAA, Another “Casual Geographic!” That is Kool!

[amandaski]

I don't know that I would call it a wasted study.

Sometimes you study the structure of a common rose butterflies wings and that information allows you to create a model for solar energy capture that's twice as efficient as anything you've produced so far.

Biomimicry has resulted in some of our most revolutionary designs. From flight, to polarized light capturing satellite, even velcro is on that list.

I don't know how cuttlefish having depth perception like us is useful, but someone else might.

I got to swim with the dolphin that “played” Flipper!! Haha was actually really fun! His real name is Fatso 😂

[joshz]

I was born in 86 and I remember watching it (Flipper) on like ABC or something like that. It came on before my fav show as a kid, Gilligan's Island.

I grew up in a small town on the coast of Denmark. The seagulls are a huge problem there because they nest on top of the roofs and in mating season they become extremely territorial. So much so that they attack people sometimes. Therefore the county sprayes the seagull eggs on the rooftops with something that keeps them from hatching in order to keep the population down.
