1:32 "Look at my bright feet ladies, I'm healthy and can feed you" Absolutely marvelous XD

"You are what you eat" I don't remember eating disappointment

I actually found thousands of those Blue Dragons on the shore of an Australian beach about 8 months ago, never seen anything like it. Great video

I really wish someone would have told 6 year old me that the "Poison" dart frogs at the zoo were actually harmless in that situation. After I found out that the pretty frogs were super deadly I was deathly afraid of the building they were in for years and would not go anywhere near their display.

I've been watching scishow for more than 2 years, this has to be the weirdest and the most awesome episode I've seen....

thank you to whoever edited Michael's head onto a booby you're doing god's work

Guess it’s time to cut failure out of my diet

One year at my high school, his one meathead senior's quote was: "If you really are what you eat, then I'm a beaver. Funny how that works." This made it all the way through the yearbook editors and was printed in the yearbook. Until someone realized what he meant and the staff had to block out the quote in each yearbook with a sharpie. By hand. A few days before we could get them. For over 1000 books.

I thoroughly enjoy Michael's voice... "look at my bright feet ladies..." 🤩

Couldn't the assassin bugs be using the ant shells (pun intended) as a breakaway armor that not only prevent predators from grasping onto them which would also teach predators not to go after the bugs with a large ant armor because it's likely they only get dead ants that are devoid of any nutritional value?

Corpse Armor... that's the most metal thing I've ever heard in my life.

Dude, you're my favourite scishow presenter!

What about flamingos though? They aren't born pink, but get the color from the brine shrimp and they eat!

The stoplight dragonfish has actual first generation night vision goggles, but without the burning up if exposed to bright light bit. That's bloody cool.

So the yellow on his hair have been the cheese bleeding out all this time O.O

Yaaaaayyy long episode!!! Keep it up, love the longer ones. You can really go into the topic

And the best Anchor is Back In Action

1:30 can we just take a moment and appreciate the existence of this video

It’s fascinating that there are so many unique creatures out there

The delivery of this video's content was so awesome that when he launched into the sponsorship segment with "I'm not very good at cooking" or whatever, I was genuinely expecting this SciShow video to be sponsored by HelloFresh - having totally forgotten that he mentioned that it was sponsored by SkillShare in the first few seconds of the video!

Idk how I feel about a clean shaven Michael

Spinach:why do i hear epic music? (Only old people that watched a "certain cartoon" will get this)

That assassin bug @3:42 is nightmare fuel. D:

How is it that Michael's voice is so relaxing despite using phrases such as 'corpse armour'

4:04 i think most predators dont want to mess with psychopathic prey

I think this is the one of the Best video I have ever seen keep up the good work!

Wheeler Assassin bugs are the most fascinating creatures. They change their outer physiology several times, in a matter of just a couple weeks, and attack other insects, similar to the way preying mantises do. I kept some in a dry tank and fed them moths that got stuck in spider webs outside my house...they bite their heads off and drain their insides. 😓

Who also notice a lizard on a rock on 1:14 ? :)

Those nudibranchs are so cute, I used to pick up the ones that washed up and put them back in the ocean, they’re really squishy and pretty when they’re swimming around.

You are what you eat. So if a cannibal eats a vegan, than the cannibal is a vegan

The blue dragon nudibranch is one of my favorite weird little critters in the world. You totally forgot to mention that they float upside down! That's why touching one on what we would perceive as its 'back' is really dangerous -- that's where all the cerata are.

Typos at 5:06 "ECOTINES"

Right before sleeping, awesome !

I’m told I look like a Dorito a lot.

When I see The Blue Dragon Nudibranch, I immediately see Legiana from Monster Hunter World. Just me? xD

Those sea slugs are amazing.

If I am what I eat guess I’m still human

At 5:04 you guys wrote “ecotines” instead of ectoines.

"Look at my bright feet ladies- I'm healthy and can feed you." And flamingos? They also feed on some kind of shrimp that makes their feathers bright pink

That made me think a lot of the kleptopredation video. I saw there's some overlap too.

Now that I'm thinking about it... The video is about food.. at first I was like "oh wow, superpowers from food", then I was like, "wow bro, you gained some weight", then I was like "well you don't look too crazy fat, it's more like a normal weight gain for the winter", BUT then I was like " lol, this video is about food". You're awesome bro I love your videos!

5:04 typo in the graphic says Ecotines instead of Ectoines.

Cool species. Except for the one that eats 90% junk food. Incorporating some predigested ant smoothies into it’s diet would be an improvement.

I'm a human! But that's not such an innocent statement if we follow the saying...

Micheal’s got a fresh new cut

"You are what you eat" I must be some sort of cookie/bread/pasta then...

Those assassin bugs are metal

Nicontine,Heroine,Morphine.... please finish it :(

Assassin bug corpse armor? That's the most metal thing I've ever heard of!

SciShow: you are what you eat Ouroboros: tell me about it

The Blue Dragon Nudibranch needs to become a Pokemon in the next generation

So that makes me a double cheeseburger?

Who needs school when you have Scishow???

Yoo i just got back to youtube again, since when Micheal changed his look to "natural look"?? he looks way better this way

The stoplight loosejaw looks like a fleshlight LOL 5:29

“Sharp mouth parts” I found that pretty funny 😂

So what do I get when I eat the hearts of my enemies? Muhahahaha! :D

Whole nother level

Really thought #1 was gonna be the flamingo. That's the most well known. We all know flamingos get their carotenoids from the shrimp they eat. I'm so confused

I like this guy so much more now.

Yeah regarding the bug corpse armor thing.... don't we also have similar thing? I mean, a lot of clothing items and other accessories that we wear are technically made from part of animal corpse that we eat right. More processed for sure but it's still corpse part. It's less in the modern times but see how many cow leather and other kind of animal that we use in shoes, bags, etc

That was a drastic change...

SciShow: okay so what animals are what they eat? Me: Mantis? Any cannibal?

Looks like Kirby isn't the only one that gets new abilities depending upon what gets consumed...

Fun fact: humans also use corpse armor

My grandfather ate lots of beans and had a superpower called “Pull my finger.”

Assassin bugs probably would like RPG games, usually you get to wear parts of the enemies you beat as armor and weapons. 🤔

Sometimes stuff like skin coloring is because of things you eat. For instance, sometimes because babies are fed so many carrots and sweet potato based food their noses turn orange. Now that's you are what you eat!

1:04 that lizard is on super chill mode 😎

3:13 Ed Gein vibes

My favourite Pokémon is the Blue Footed Booby.

Magical changing Michael?!?!?

No mention of rotifers?

Great video. What we eat, drink, think, and do though definitely influences us metabolically.. Humans are not exempt from elemental biological laws

I miss Michael's facial hair

Interesting, I'm glad to have been exposed to this information. Captivity is an interesting topic. Liberty is an interesting topic.

If you are what you eat does that mean cannibals the most "human" among us?

I'm surprised no one has made a Kirby joke yet

*If Kirby was real, then he would be the ultimate life form.*

so poison frogs can store the poison for YEARS as you say but ones in captivity (generally 1 to 3 years out of the wild) don't have them? idk if you've tried researching it but they stay toxic for over 15 years...

The last one is like someone took it from Spore :)

Doesn’t anyone want to mention that the blue dragon nudibranch eats PORTUGUESE MEN O’WAR?

Poison dart frog I inky knew that one

Super booby lols - You SciShow guys are awesomely smart and funny. You must put Awesome Sauce on everything you eat : )

Is it me or is Michael........... getting cuter?

So...poisonous organisms evolve bright colors because they don't have to worry about being preyed upon. Right? So, do organisms *tend* to develop bright colors but don't because stand outs tend to become prey?

Huh...didn’t go for the obvious pink flamingo... That’s better I guess, that would have made for a pretty short explanation: “So the flamingos are pink because they absorb a pigment from the shrimp they eat. The shrimps also got their pigment from what they ate in the first place. The end.”

So when the hell did I eat touch starvation, existential loneliness, and perpetual rejection of other's love?

I honestly thought this video was gonna be on 7 cannibalistic species, but great video anyways

1:30 made me laugh 😂

"FLIR" fish with night vision!

Every species is what they eat, that is they comprise what they eat. The only thing you are that isn't what you eat, is what you breathe and what your mom ate if you're young enough

'Batrachotoxin' literally means 'frog poison,' yes?

Thanks! I suppose I'm forced to assume that the Blue-footed Boobies *_can_* see in color? Or do they judge by the darkness or paleness of each other's feet? Burning burning question! I'm just hopping around with my pale feet, waiting to know. The poison frog segment was *_much_* more thorough. Cool. The assassin bug segment [I know, I know: *_which_* segment - head, thorax, or abdomen? Ha ha.] reminded me of both Leather-face and the movie Mimic (especially at the end, where the people cover themselves in 'bug-parts-juice' to disguise themselves - & it works. The Emerald See Slug story is fascinating! I wonder what the chances are that we're witnessing a species right in the middle of evolving toward a true hybrid of plants & animals. Thanks again. Rikki Tikki.

3:14 There's an impostor among us

4:52 These bacteria are actually named (indirectly) for a Cafeteria.

Soooo...Assassin Bugs are basically Reavers.

i was expecting cannibalism when i first saw the title

a literal slug that got stuck on a leaf while evolving
