You know, it's that bad analogy of like, oh, evolution is just rolling dice and hoping you get all sixes.

And it's like, no, a friend of mine said, no, it's rolling dice, but it gets to keep the sixes.

And then suddenly getting a hat full of sixes isn't that hard.

But also you're in the context of even rare species, you know, ultra rare, short of stuff that like we've nearly killed off, but like very rare species have populations in the thousands or hundreds of thousands.

and are probably around for hundreds of thousands of years.

And very few, you know, other than a few things like whales and apes and elephants, mostly have dozens or thousands of offspring at a time.

So a few thousand animals that have a few thousand offspring at a line for a few hundred thousand years, yeah, it's billions and billions and billions of them.

And that's the rare stuff.

You look at Mola Mola, the ocean sunfish.

I think Mola has just been split up into like five species.

It's one of the weirdest looking animals.

Love it, love it, love it, love it.

I mean, what a fish that is.

Swims with a giant dorsal, and I think it's a giant anal fin, and then they flap alternatingly.

Does it have a face?

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

A little one at the front.

Eat jellyfish.

Super open oceanic.
