As they went down into this one fjord in Norway and they were looking at lantern sharks who go down as they live as far as 3,281 feet underwater.
They found these same barnacles attached to these sharks.
And what is happening is these barnacles are basically growing these roots into the shark's dense tissue.
and are feeding off of their blood and their serum and their various bodily fluids in the tissue and aren't feeding on plankton.
So they found that the digestive tracts of these barnacles are absent of nutrients of food, that they're absorbing it directly into their own circulatory system, stealing it from the sharks.
So it's become this amazing...
indication of like almost quick evolution and adaptation where the barnacle has not changed its form.
It's just changed its abilities.
It's like a new power.
Kind of a science story.
Thanks for having me as usual.
How do kids learn words?
Do they learn words the same as dogs?
Like if they get it wrong, you bite their ear and rub their nose in their poop?
Well, my kids don't make mistakes because they know what happens if they do.
Oh, boy.
All right.
I am.
I'm just I'm just joshing you guys.
Yeah, this was a this was a interesting article.
