Extraterrestrials in movies generally are inspired by creatures on earth.

That’s One of many inspirations of sci-fi movies and Avatar (2009) is one of them.

If you want to see some cool alien biology, check out the Curious Archive channel: there’s a lot of videos on speculative biology projects, which include some truly bizarre alien life.

@@NoxaClimaxX I already subscribed to that channel.

@@anthonyproffitt5341everything is inspired from earth, after all we don’t have many resources outside of here to go from, lol

Cthulhu is real. Noted.

Sounds like someone believes in UFO sightings

watch out, religious nuts are coming

@@fesimco4339 Sounds like somebody should. they are unexplained anyways - probably best to assume most folks weren't just making shit up all the time.

@@Souledex It depends how many presumptions are being made. People see things they can't explain and that's fine. The people who "make shit up" are the ones who go on to say, I can't explain it so it has some chance of being extra terrestrial / supernatural.

I think that's pretty reasonable.

Best logical answer here ^

Great point. I also wonder how the light pollution caused by mankind has or will effect bioluminescence on land.

Thanks

She could give David Attenborough a run for his money

I completely agree, my daughter and I can't help but just feel so relaxed while watching these.

AAA tier documentary. And it's also very very entertaining to watch. Love it.

I love the way she says "Britain" lol

I Love her

That's interesting!

counter-illumination using radar instead of light?

@@mastershooter64 most likely using regular lights to break up the silhouette of a ship on the horizon during the day as they are easiest to spot when they are "sticking up" from the water and "painted" against the sky.

Counter illumination? How exactly does one go about achieving this? How does it work?

@@curiodyssey3867 exactly the same way as the fish do it. you put a lot of lights on your ship and dim them to make it the same brightness as the background, basically an adjustable grey paint.

DMT!!!

I live there. Southern Illinois.; far from citypeople. During the summer, fireflies, glow worms, and glowing green and orange fungus on trees at night with owls and whatnot. During the day I'll have chipmunks and colorful songbirds flying around me as my unshaven hungover ass shoos away the damn squirrels and deer from the creek I like to piss in each morning. Enchanted fantasy forests do exist, but they typically do have ogres guarding them from city folk; I am one of them. Stay away.

like Avatar

@@attemptedunkindness3632 Love your work-keep it up ! 😎

Must be in a pretty dark place tho

Walk around with a UV light !

She owns the channel

😲

If I remember right reefs are full of bioluminescence too, shrimps clams and cephalopods like cuttlefish.

I think it's for the diversity of animals and not the actual biomass of sea animals 😅

@@earthling_parth I'm not talking about biomass, I am talking about biodiversity

Yeah Mantis Shrimp are fantastic cute and get this gangster like crustacea. They not only do these wonderful traits you've pointed out, like vision that evolved for a shrimp is awesome, another absolute gang banger trait they do is when they i thinkby memory it was warding off predators, (they have one big claw and one smaller claw) when they use the claw that happens to have evolved to the perfect specimen of shrimp claws they do a snap with the claw that is so loud (this from a creature hundreds of times smaller than it's predators whom couldn't pull it of if their lives depended on it) just a open shut that is one of the loudest noises / booms that any ocean creatures can do even louder (different wave length vibrational sounds) thsn a whale song that also travel.tje furthest of all ocean creatures but on a decibel meter in the immediate surrounds the shrimps snaps louder! When they do the booming Snap that also is that loud a sonic boom shockwave is created by it, a bubble of air,(i watched it happen in slow motion. Amazing) evolves around the claw and as it opens it's claw the bubble enhances and the claw traps the bubble until it does the snap shut of it's claw which is equivalent pound for pound of one the top apex predators of the food chain, great White or saltwater crocodile, snapping their unrivaled and powerfull jaws and teeth down on its creature it's having for dinner. The mantis shrimp claw snap is supposedly and scientifically foundtp be louder than creatures much bigger and more powerful, but that's because I'm sure it's a defensive Manöver to appear to be powerful and strong enough to keep away from. As the sea predators of the shrimp which are too numerous to even list think better stay away that thing that looks like food is too strong and the shockwave shocks and deters them away. Again after dangers averted, mighty mantis shrimp just goes back to hunting ~ manageably caught bigger sized morsels of fish perfectly still and silent in a place it's eyes on long their long stalks can keep lookout for their food.as no-

They're waiting for "crunch time" boomtown 4 seafood restaurant will do as Mantis says or the man go boom!" LoL On doco i saw them in no word of schite they walk around sometimes running or scuttling should i say/ they get around with that one elephantiasis huge claw up and out ready as a bribe or threat kinda that their not going to dilly dally when it comes to safety, food and the power of shocking creatures into submission or better still shocking them onto their dinner menus and plates. I fuggin ' luv em. They're the boss of their domain

@@lilysceejeanmoonlight used to work at a aquarium store, sometimes its a club with the peacock mantis. Would feed them snails and they would flick them open. Sometimes lay on their back and spin them around. Extremely smart creatures. Would follow out tongs(not sticking our hands in there) and grab them when hungry. Or flick sand at us when they are molting. Feel bad as my ethnicity eats them.

Heyyy! Animalogic, Terra Mater, and Real Science the trifecta of awesome content on wildlife and biology ❤️

Interesting thought.

Well that is how natural selection works partially.

Scorpions and some fungi also bioluminesce.
