boy these fishes sure are horny
0:00:06.459,0:00:08.489
the open access journal Evo dvo
0:00:08.489,0:00:10.699
has just reported that there's a fish
0:00:10.699,0:00:13.296
out there called the African annual fish
0:00:13.296,0:00:15.316
that has the most rapid sexual
0:00:15.316,0:00:17.886
maturation of any vertebrate species
0:00:17.886,0:00:19.666
basically these fishes are being born
0:00:19.666,0:00:21.496
then they hit puberty and then they go
0:00:21.496,0:00:23.156
crazy with the sex and then they make a
0:00:23.156,0:00:25.236
bunch of babies then they kick the bucket
0:00:25.236,0:00:26.736
making baby noises
0:00:26.736,0:00:29.406
I want a candy[br]Mom Dad it's my own life
0:00:29.406,0:00:30.986
quit telling me what to do
0:00:30.986,0:00:32.336
yo, what's up my name's Tony
0:00:32.336,0:00:33.446
people call me [br]Todd
0:00:33.446,0:00:34.884
Honey, you were supposed to take
0:00:34.884,0:00:35.794
out the trash again
0:00:35.794,0:00:36.851
Marissa, put that down
0:00:36.851,0:00:41.465
All my friends are dead and [br]soon I will be too
0:00:41.465,0:00:43.240
so basically these guys don't have a lot of
0:00:43.240,0:00:45.228
time to live their life because
0:00:45.228,0:00:47.658
what happens to puddles of rain in Africa?
0:00:47.658,0:00:49.917
dramatically sips from cup
0:00:49.917,0:00:53.137
They dry up [br]talk about Hakuna Matata
0:00:53.137,0:00:54.947
not to worry though because these fish
0:00:54.947,0:00:56.937
are built to handle[br]this kind of stuff
0:00:56.937,0:00:58.577
a report made by Martin Richard
0:00:58.577,0:01:02.857
stated that they can grow up [br]to 23% of their body length
0:01:02.857,0:01:07.207
in a day and start reproducing [br]around 17 days old then
0:01:07.207,0:01:09.567
their eggs can make it to the hatching
0:01:09.567,0:01:12.807
stage in as few as [br]15 days which means
0:01:12.807,0:01:16.897
these fish are making it from one [br]generation to the next
0:01:16.897,0:01:17.907
in about a month
0:01:17.907,0:01:20.577
so , what happens to the eggs[br]when the water dries up
0:01:20.577,0:01:22.547
and they haven't hatched yet
0:01:22.547,0:01:26.597
not to worry the dormant embryos of [br]the African annual fish can survive in
0:01:26.597,0:01:28.537
in dried mud for months
0:01:28.537,0:01:32.217
but hey you can't blame them [br]cuz when life's short you got
0:01:32.217,0:01:33.217
to play hard
0:01:33.217,0:01:35.377
so what would [br]would you guys do if you had
0:01:35.377,0:01:37.487
the lifespan of annual fish
0:01:37.487,0:01:38.600
I'd probably
0:01:42.558,0:01:43.868
I don't know all right well
0:01:43.868,0:01:45.538
I'll see you harry mammals tomorrow
0:01:45.538,0:01:48.655
