[mcjamieb123]

whatever .....

[TurokSwe]

Bad animations and short bad episode, bad series. It could have been better. And the Materpiscis may absolutely still be alive.

[Bamb0009]

they are like OAO how cute

[Fragment87]

Well the plan didn't work, now did it Mrs. Motherfish?

[drublefizz0014]

HEY FUCK THIS SHIT! WHERE ARE TEH EPIC BATTLES?!?!

[saborboricuapr1]

hate advertisements... dont even watch it

[darcy031685]

Apparently it wasn't enough since they're all dead now.

[puncheex]

@darcy031685: All species die; even ours shall. The important point is that they pioneered and passed on an adaptation which may have helped to overcome the environmental problems of her age. There are other fish which today bear live young because of her genes. Invertebrates are not of her line; live young had to be re-invented much later in early mammals.

BTW, the single find of this type is named Materpiscis attenboroughi.

[darcy031685]

@puncheex Yes, but many species were hearty enough to last a pretty long time without many changes; cockroaches, sharks, gators.. etc.

[puncheex]

@darcy031685: None of these you quote are species. The same cockroaches that originated in the Carboniferous and developed their current aspect in the Cretaceous are not he same species that live today. The average age of any species is about 5 million years. That's about how long H. erectus, the most widely spread species of man before us, lived. Species either evolve into another or go extinct; obviously the long lived animals you mention are successful at evolving.

@darcy031685

Look at the earliest sharks and compare them today's sharks. Then do the same to the other examples you listed. They looked very different despite having the basic shape. Once they found their niche, they stayed that way.

[justcallmeSven]

@NUTCASE71733

Don't fix something that isn't broken, apparently.

[NUTCASE71733]

@justcallmeSven

Basiclly, yeah. The earliest sharks all sported some weird-ass adaptations, however they were too specialized and being too specialized for a certain lifestyle spells doom for a species. And that's why since then all sharks have had simply the basic torpedo-like shape.

[TurokSwe]

@darcy031685 Haha! Dead, no way in hell!

[TheProjektcc]

I want one

[BigTongueFetishGuy]

looks like relicanth...

[SuperWarioCementleg]

@BigTongueFeti

The pokemon Relicanth is based on the Coelocanth.

The Coelocanth still exist, it was thought to be extinct for 60 million years, but in 1938 it was discovered by a fisherman in Africa.

[astrophysics1997]

Austrailia has mammals that lay eggs, and they had fish that gave birth?! It sounds almost too good to be true, but then again, it could just be government science fiction. I doubt it would be government science fiction though, because of the cool stuff they found off the coast of Japan. They had those weird creatures on tape!

[TransparentXOpacity]

thats a cute fish

[nickandbub]

i like its head

[SusSell]

Aw maan, Australia always have the coolest animals

[hrbear]

@SusSell google: The 10 Most Dangerous Animals in Australia

[instantjizz]

@SusSell lol yeah but most of them will kill you or eat u lmao

[BKiggin]

it keeps the baby in there stomach until Adulthood, so when the mother fish eats so does the baby.

Let it go please.

[CanAkane]

@DeathTheKid86 of all time.

[Schooltrain2]

@DeathTheKid86 What is with all these beyonce comments on animal planet videos??? Screw her.

[SJD2342]

@Schooltrain2 It's a reference to Kayne West's antics.

[TheSamwedgwood]

@DeathTheKid86 ya right.

[SCOVENOM]

more, how the reproduction was originated ?! who the creatures felt they would like to reproduce ?! and how even the human felt sometime in the past he would like to develop advanced eyes to see or ears to hear and why didn't develop sensor for ultraviolet rays detection for example ?! how would i feel that i want to see, the term itself shall be strange.

[puncheex]

@SCOVENOM: Evolution doesn't work that way. Small mutations occur naturally; if one is helpful to the animal's survival, then it spreads to all members. Many such small changes over time results in visible, functional change. If you had UV vision, you would have trouble focusing on different colors in a field, just as you do where red and blue meet in your vision; that confusion could be fatal, and thus never selected out as useful. Change is never the result of an animal just wanting it.

[playmate659]
