1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,530
boy these fishes sure are horny
2
00:00:06,459 --> 00:00:08,489
the open access journal Evo dvo
3
00:00:08,489 --> 00:00:10,699
has just reported that there's a fish
4
00:00:10,699 --> 00:00:13,296
out there called the African annual fish
5
00:00:13,296 --> 00:00:15,316
that has the most rapid sexual
6
00:00:15,316 --> 00:00:17,886
maturation of any vertebrate species
7
00:00:17,886 --> 00:00:19,666
basically these fishes are being born
8
00:00:19,666 --> 00:00:21,496
then they hit puberty and then they go
9
00:00:21,496 --> 00:00:23,156
crazy with the sex and then they make a
10
00:00:23,156 --> 00:00:25,236
bunch of babies then they kick the bucket
11
00:00:25,236 --> 00:00:26,736
making baby noises
12
00:00:26,736 --> 00:00:29,406
I want a candy
Mom Dad it's my own life
13
00:00:29,406 --> 00:00:30,986
quit telling me what to do
14
00:00:30,986 --> 00:00:32,336
yo, what's up my name's Tony
15
00:00:32,336 --> 00:00:33,446
people call me
Todd
16
00:00:33,446 --> 00:00:34,884
Honey, you were supposed to take
17
00:00:34,884 --> 00:00:35,794
out the trash again
18
00:00:35,794 --> 00:00:36,851
Marissa, put that down
19
00:00:36,851 --> 00:00:41,465
All my friends are dead and
soon I will be too
20
00:00:41,465 --> 00:00:43,240
so basically these guys don't have a lot of
21
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,228
time to live their life because
22
00:00:45,228 --> 00:00:47,658
what happens to puddles of rain in Africa?
23
00:00:47,658 --> 00:00:49,917
dramatically sips from cup
24
00:00:49,917 --> 00:00:53,137
They dry up
talk about Hakuna Matata
25
00:00:53,137 --> 00:00:54,947
not to worry though because these fish
26
00:00:54,947 --> 00:00:56,937
are built to handle
this kind of stuff
27
00:00:56,937 --> 00:00:58,577
a report made by Martin Richard
28
00:00:58,577 --> 00:01:02,857
stated that they can grow up
to 23% of their body length
29
00:01:02,857 --> 00:01:07,207
in a day and start reproducing
around 17 days old then
30
00:01:07,207 --> 00:01:09,567
their eggs can make it to the hatching
31
00:01:09,567 --> 00:01:12,807
stage in as few as
15 days which means
32
00:01:12,807 --> 00:01:16,897
these fish are making it from one
generation to the next
33
00:01:16,897 --> 00:01:17,907
in about a month
34
00:01:17,907 --> 00:01:20,577
so , what happens to the eggs
when the water dries up
35
00:01:20,577 --> 00:01:22,547
and they haven't hatched yet
36
00:01:22,547 --> 00:01:26,597
not to worry the dormant embryos of
the African annual fish can survive in
37
00:01:26,597 --> 00:01:28,537
in dried mud for months
38
00:01:28,537 --> 00:01:32,217
but hey you can't blame them
cuz when life's short you got
39
00:01:32,217 --> 00:01:33,217
to play hard
40
00:01:33,217 --> 00:01:35,377
so what would
would you guys do if you had
41
00:01:35,377 --> 00:01:37,487
the lifespan of annual fish
42
00:01:37,487 --> 00:01:38,600
I'd probably
43
00:01:42,558 --> 00:01:43,868
I don't know all right well
44
00:01:43,868 --> 00:01:45,538
I'll see you harry mammals tomorrow
45
00:01:45,538 --> 00:01:48,655
