Speedy snail insulin

[GuyWithAnAmazingHat]

Paleoartist? I think I just found my dream job as an artist who loves science and dinosaurs.

[josephbest]

I know most people are here for the dinosaur model but as a type 1 diabetic the snail could be a miracle breakthrough for me.

[deathpony]

I really hope they keep the name "speedy snail insulin" when it becomes a medicine.

[gabriel]

Bob the snail is not trying to hunt... He just wants to cure the fishes diabetes...

[TheVelvetTV]

At first glance i suspected this was a video from "Trey the Eplainer" :D

[phantasm]

Can you do one on cerebral aneurysms? I had one rupture at 19 and would love to learn more!

[iissacc]

But why are there predatory snails around my scientifically accurate model of a dinosaur

[Eueueyw]

But why do I have scientifically accurate, life-sized dinosaur models around my anus?

[marcorodvas]

That dinosaur looks like a terrifyingly weird bird.

[stinkylooloo]

Dinosaw? More like Dinodidn'tsee!

You know, cuz of the camouflage. Because camouflage makes it harder to see things, so the dino is no longer one you saw but one you didn't see. It's a pun, you see, a homophonic and a homonymic pun together. Puns are designed to cause dangerous levels of wincing and laughter in others, which is why I think puns should be countershaded so that no one dies when the sun is still up.

Lost my sister to a pun. Her wincing corpse still twitched when they buried her. Miss you, Andrea

Man, that snail is like the perfect murderer. Just getting near a target makes the target unable to fight back or flee.

4:26 I heard "But this shit only happened" xD

[NeonsStyleHD]

Which is why we should protect the environment; if u need a reason!

[robert_wigh]

THank you very much for making this video, _SciShow_! It was interesting to learn about undershading and how dinosaurs actually may have looked like.

[TheMesosuchus]

As a paleontologist, I dread whenever a new cool study (or discovery) is published. This has been reported in the media so embarrassingly bad. Thank the gods for the Scishow and the few outlets left that can do real science journalism.

[TaiChiKnees]

"Weaponized Insulin" would be a great name for a really nerdy band.

[cortster]

I always have a smile on my face whenever it's Hank Green hosting.

[Punkledunk]

Counter shading is what lets me ninja defuse in counter strike.

[TheInselaffen]

SciShow, please can you answer this: how can slugs and snails make enough mucus to slide along on, It seems like they make many times their own body mass just to cross a path.

[OwlishFun]

Awesome, both of these topics were super interesting :D
I'm a long-time dinosaur fan, so this is just brilliant to learn, and I'm always interested to learn about now was we can advance medical science with elements that exist in the world around us :D
Thanks for the video team!
