They have survived every catastrophe and every mass extinction event that nature has thrown at them. And by being the little, filter-feeding, water-cleaning creatures that they are, sponges may have saved the world.
Thanks to Franz Anthony and Julio Lacerda for their wonderful illustrations of sponges and snowball earth and other things. You can find more of their work here: 252mya.com/

Even in "snowball Earth", there was tectonic activity, volcanoes, and ocean currents. There must have been areas where these effects combined to create open water. Also, many areas where the ice was broken up and/or thin. We know from current sea ice, that sea ice actually a wonderful place for bacteria and plankton to thrive. So, as Jeff Goldblum said, "Life will find a way.".

Whereas hyenas, for the most part, today, are all bone-crushing with some exceptions, I think there one was dog-like insectivore(Aardwolf), but in prehistory, the hyenas were arboreal too and dog-like too.

Sponges are absolutely kill-able. Freshwater sponges form gemmules, but very few marine sponges do! Also, trawling activity can certainly kill a sponge - high sediment concentrations can also cause their filters to become blocked. Sponges can sneeze and cough out some sediment, but human activity can cause irreparable damage to sponges.

It's possible I suppose, but it would probably not be as easy as you'd think it'd be. Jut getting rid of the ones on the seafloor, river bottom, lake bed, etc. and the ones in aquariums would probably not be enough because those are just the adults. Their asexually reproduced offspring, the gemmule, are apparently even tougher. No oxygen, 5 times the radiation that'd kill a human, drying out for months at a time. We'd be more likely to kill ourselves off trying to kill them. You'd have to pull some Thanos stunt.

@Levi Atha I could only find one video related to fungi: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y61mZ6eSzK7Zf5s.html It focuses on a specific fungus, and says little about the evolution of fungi, so I think there's justification for another video

They may not be planning to send them into black holes, but sponges are considered among the various life forms that could be sent to other planets to terraform them to create conditions we or other forms of life could survive in. They could survive on planets that would kill most other creatures.

@michaelworkman4057 4 жыл бұрын
@Los Fromla my point is they survive compression, radiation is a separate issue and yes, layering. Do you think a spacesuit is made out of just one material? The internal structures of sponges exhibit something called a Clausen profile, a way of shaping a column for maximum resistance to buckling, a type of mechanical failure. Also this is youtube, we're sharing and discussing ideas not defending and attacking dissertations.

That was absolutely fascinating. I've been chasing up snowball earth, particularly the first great ice age, ever since I saw a Tony Robinson doco about it. All we really know is that unicellular species went into the first great ice age and that multicellular creatures came out. That's gotta get your curiosity cells buzzing.🌐❄️

@@dank_smirk2ndchannel200 check out treytheexpainer, he explains the hypothesis of how a "larval" stage of a sponge has a nodochord and how neotenic evolution could have been how "protofish" (not sure if this is a real term, but sounds fitting) evolved. Hopefully this helps.
