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

NOTE Paragraph
00:01:43.868 --> 00:01:45.538
