How Poison Frogs Evolved to Carry Tadpoles on Their Backs

Күн бұрын

Poison frogs lay their eggs on land, but their young are aquatic, so they must be carried to water when they hatch. In these species, parenting is like a delivery service. The tadpoles cling onto their parent's back, and the little frogs travel far and wide in search of the best places to drop their young. It is a demanding job, but how did tadpole transport evolve?

Recentrly found this channel and let me say this: first it is criminally underrated, and second and most importantly it diverge from mainstream animal video like "Hey look at this cool animal, and look what they do", inestead while showing tiny examples, these examples are used to build a greater picture of what is the tree of life and how it ended to be how we know it, and how it is continuing evolving. Great work, keep it up.

Wow thank you man. I really appreciate your comment. I try hard to tell a story about the evolutionary journey of these animals in my vids and I’m glad it’s coming across well 🙂 I also do shorter ‘look at these cool animals’ vids too in between making these longer ones - best of both worlds!

Right? Like the only videos you can find on poison frogs are how their poison works and I guess that's cool but tons of animals are poisonous, it's not news. Frog dads with social anxiety carrying tadpoles long distances to protect their babies and also eliminate inbreeding? Way more interesting. Even humans haven't evolved consistently supportive parental behavior like this

Great comment! I love the focus of his videos as well. It’s not dumbed down and he explains evolutionary concepts in a way that’s easy to understand but without making the viewer feel stupid. I used to teach biology and wish I’d been able to use something like this as an aide.

Even though they don't have complex emptions save as love and affection to their kids and these all fall down to instinct. The father carrying his kids to safety still looks so wholesome.

Brilliant! Perhaps, this would be the best video on this prohibitively complicated topic. Honestly, the answer is not found here, but it's so inspiring that many hints are offered. Generally, the search of evolutionary origins is highly challenging. Particularly this subject is a daunting task. Terrestrial reproductive behavior, parental care, not only one, but several tadpoles on the back & transportation, avoiding nearby, ordinary water body to name a few, are suggestive. Also, a list of reference is a nice advice. Well done!

@ryuuguu01 Жыл бұрын

I think they need to be in the water. They look like they have a thin film of water over them. The video mentions that fathers will keep the eggs wet, so that may apply to tadpoles during the time between hatching and getting taken to a pool of water.

@noahway13 2 жыл бұрын

It blows my mind that animals, down to frogs, know that they will get together with a mate and that act, that encounter will produce eggs that the frogs want to protect and help the young to survive. WHY do animals want to produce young? I think if you had young humans secluded on an island or something, I don't think they would know anything about the reproductive cycle and have a strategy for raising offspring. I'd love to know how they thought about it.

The bottom has fallen out of Darwinism/ evolution. No one has ever observed the transition of one kind (family) of creature to another kind of creature (fish to snake, etc.). However, many people throughout history have interacted with God. Choose recorded history, not hypothetical atheistic conjecture; choose Christ!
