[dinosaur418]

[MrMacSunshine]

that is one goofy ass fish.

[iloveniggers1000]

why do people keep laughing at her quasi jokes? reminds me of a sitcom

[TheTalinus]

@iloveniggers1000 Comedy is about expectations; jokes that would bomb in an HBO special will kill at a biology lecture.

Hand grenade fishing is not irresponsible as long as its well managed. It is after all organic.

[celestegotmail]

[nameunavailable07]

Well because its bizzare looking. It makes no sense that they are built so oddly.

[reeldeelpeel]

I like the way she says "three"

[fifiandjj]

[Hanachio]

[heathmcateer]

sweet video! She is very informative and funny. Thanks!

[cmiller125]

Great video! She was great.

[Ahrimancp]

Not a bad lecture. Good info w/o overload, and good use of well timed sight gags for humor. I've been facinated by the mola mola for a little while now and was happy to find this.

[Hurleyboy2011]

Haha, this is great but shes a horrible public speaker.

[duskybatfishgirl]

I think she's great!

[nova747]

Me to, she was intresting to listen to and funny at the right times :)

[corydorastube]

I think she's a rather attractive public speaker!

[piratebec]

Thak you so much for posting this, just came back from the Monterey aquarium and I had so many questions they didnt answer. This fish is truly remarkable and beautiful.

[MishuTaste]

How the hell can that...THING eat a jelly fish w/o getting stung?!!

[dinosaur418]

@MishuTaste because its majicarp!

[semo2010]

thats a very neat idea .. these TED videos are the best ... now all that they need is a competitor, to get things more exciting and popular ....

[VimisiDigitalMedia]

All these TED speakers have one thing in common... A natural love for bringing people together through their passions. I so very much wish that these events were open to the public, and that you didn't need to be an outstanding scholar in order to qualify for an invitation. Thanks for posting these. Each one is better than the previous. :)

[semo2010]

agreed

[KwautLizard]

Wonderful lecturer, kudos for making these forlorn creatures better understood and more adored. Tierney I truly wish I had such dedicated and excited lecturers when I studied Marine Bio in the US; thank you for inspiring others with such tenacity, dedication and effort. U are great!

[mixedpixel]

very good presentation, thanks!

[swingbabu2006]

I dont like that ugly fish ;-) lol... but I love Tierney. She is hotter than fire starter...
