The way this guy delivers his presentation only leads to more questions that I didn't ask for and I am loving it.

I am questioning how the f he dissected those snails....
@@identifiername first step is to get a dead snail.
and im pretty sure vinegar dissolves the shell very easily.
Weird, you want someone to talk to you like you're a toddler. 🙄💀
@@Agent-ie3uv kinky people do.
This is information I never knew I would ever learn about but here we are. I am surprised.

Yeah same, RUclips recommendations lol
Love how he described eggs to us as if we didn't know what they were.
I didn’t know eggs were round ball shaped. The entire time I thought they were rectangular shape
" They're tiny little balls " 💀💀
Also, when looking at the breathing hole, he was like, "Do you see that small hole? Land snails breath out of these giant holes"
It's a giant little hole.
@@sawdust8691 he also says "here at the tip" ☠
Zoomers know nothing. They wouldnt know what a snail is unless it twerks.
I love how he just casually moves the snails around like they're toys
Edit: FYI, I know they're dead. That's why I find what he's doing as fascinating and/or funny.
I mean he's wearing gloves so it's fine
They're wet preserved
@@rowanheart8122 it would also be fine without them
comment makes no sense. He is literally examining them for science, and they are dead.
@@windshearahead7012 🤓
Imagine aliens making videos like this about humans using preserved human corpses. "how does the human breath?"
"what does a human look like without its skin?"
"when two humans get together..."
*for the record I don't think what he is doing is cruel. I wouldn't think aliens doing it to humans would be cruel either if I were an alien.
You sir are describing anatomy
Humans did that to humans a long time ago, probably saying similar words.
@@figo3554 exactly. People think its cruel, it isnt. Especially when the specimen is dead already.
The RUclips channel institute of human anatomy does exactly that with preserved corpses. It's wild and interesting.
@@jmgonzales7701 the only time it’s not cruel is when the human has passed.
This guy sounds more and more mind-blown by the facts he himself is presenting
Why is this kinda true 😆😆
I find it a very USAian manner to deliver things, kinda even got used to it with time and internets 😄
Lol
Thanks! Its so fascinating how snails look inside of there shells and even cooler how they breath! Thanks for all you do!
You should see a snail lay eegs
They do it from their face
It actually looks worse when it's alive.
Maybe I should call her
@@Druggy-Doggo I once thought women peed out of their ass, *but i was wrong* 💀💀

I thought they would look like a slug, _but I was wrong._
I thought they breathe through their mouths like us, or maybe their skin like salamanders, _but again, I was wrong._

I can't believe I never thought to ask these questions, as if I thought subconsciously that snails just spawn randomly
let's be real. they do
@@canihavesomeserotonin438 it's real life dude. Things just appear out of nowhere.
Cause they're hiding underground when it's too cold or too dry.
Male snail 1: "i don't want to die as a virgin."

You mean female snail 1 and female snail 2? Giggidy.
They are both male and female. So they’re gay and straight at the same time 🤔 in other words I got you brosis or sisbro.
@@fragolegirl2002 I got you partner. Yeehaw

Snails are intersex....
I'm so grateful that these great contents are free to consume by the general public. Thank you for making these educational videos. You never know how big of an impact your videos can make for the future of society. Once again, props to you man!
This kind of videos is an absolute treasure. So calm and so interesting at the same time. Gives me inner peace. Thank you!
Love these quick dives into animals. Very informative
.............................
Also... To intelligent readers (who do 'not’ have a ‘pathological disregard for rationality and reality').
I recommend researching 'narcissistic personality disorder' (NPD) / 'cluster-B'; and know that they are the 'root of all evil' (especially 'ESFJ/ESTJ-narcissist'; Myers-Briggs reference, look it up)!
European 'ESFJ' are the worst personality type, and they are responsible for inventing 'racism' and colonization! It is in their neuro-psychology!!!
They are extremely 'manipulative' and often use 'looking pretty' to distract others from the witch's mind-games / mind-rape, e.g. gaslighting, playing the victim/damsel in distress, creating "flying-monkeys", and 'bribing' others (with money or BJ) to attack, or at times, kill someone for her. When caught, she will use her minions as scapegoats. European ESFJ are notorious for this especially in a racist context, e.g. Emmett Till.
xSFP and ISFJ (2W1) are the most complicit, narcissistic-enablers. ISFP also tend to be 'oblivious-codependents' (look up the definition). Like ESFJ, XSFP's "feelings 'is' their reality." Most are covert/vulnerable-narcissists.
ISFJ often perceive things only on the surface level (even by sensor standards), are suckers for a “pretty face", and their neuro-psychology makes them the ideal narcissitic-codependent and pawn to the ESFJ (blind-loyalty, surface level perception, susceptibility to covert-narcissism). Lastly, ISFJ are notorious for impersonating other people's identities IRL and on the internet.
SUMMARY
Evil personality: 'ESFJ' (ALL), ESTJ (Cluster-b), ISFJ-2W1 (covert-narc/enabler).
[Secretly] Evil and narcissist-friendly gunts/flying-monkey: ISFP (ALL), ESFP (ALL), and ISFJ (2W1 enable ESFJ).
☝️ALL of them are secretly emotionally-disturbed, hence their need to create conflict as a distraction (at other people's expense, truly evil).
Spread the word! Thank you.

I remember as a kid I'd pick up snails and they would start foaming from their shell, near the neck, and I always thought that was some kinda of defense mechanism (it probably is), but now I realize the thing was flicking boogers at me.
When snail bubbles its due to them trying to protect itself from harmful chemicals
@@apdroidgeek1737 I thought it was something else when I was younger. 💀
@@Trex91818 It depends. Their sperm has bubbles too.
It looks as grotesque as I imagined it to be, very fascinating
"Fun" fact from a snail keeper - the snail's shell is held on by its mantle, the thick wall of muscle seen flush with the inside of the shell. Certain parasites actually get inside a snail and will eat away at this, causing a snail to lose attatchment to its shell. When this happens, the snail can't breathe, since it uses the shell as leverage for muscles that open and close the lung. I've only had this happen to one snail but I had to euthanize it because, obviously, it was in a lot of distress (imagine losing your entire skin!). This is why if you care for snails, you should never pick them up by their shells when they are stuck to something. Instead, gently wedge one finger under the snail's head, and peel away the foot gradually whilst holding the shell in place. You can then hold the snail by the shell whilst supporting it on your hand. I think they're adorable, their little faces can be so expressive!
i always expected snails to actually look like Limacidaes inside their shells and literally just use the shell as their home to hide inside.
thank you, i learned a lot from this video!
He has Blue's clues Steve energy and I like it!
Finally you credited the museum. I was afraid you are getting in trouble by saying these are your collection.
I mean, he used at least 3 specimens for this video... So I guess he didn't have that many in his collection.
Wait so snails have organs on the outside? Actually no they’re technically still inside since the shell isn’t supposed to come off right
The shell is technically an exoskeleton, so yes, inside.
@@flora_7719
That answers that question for me
Bubble snails have both their organs and their shell internally while nudibranches are snails which develop a shell and then ditches them after a certain age. This video is solely about land snails though so they weren't included.
@@citrus_sweet nudibranchs arent snail.. they’re sea slugs
@@apdroidgeek1737 They're called both depending on who you're talking to. The reason why I call them snails is because they still develop shells even if they do lose them after a while.
How does he return the eggs?
I imagine he needs to return the specimens the way you found them.
No I'm sure they are for research, so direction is green lighted meaning it's his snail now
he has an entire collection of animal specimens so it’s probably his
Snails are extremely unique creatures .. and if you aren't a gardener or backyard farmer they are pretty cute and friendly
My mom keep throwing them and made their shells shattered because they eating my mom's plant 😔
I made a purge of them, the african snail is the worst pest here
Wow, snails are so different from other animals. I loved to watch them when I was a kid, but I never knew anything about them, except once I saw how it pooped 🤣
I’ve always taken snails for granted. They are so weird and fascinating!
The more I learn about snails, the more alien they become 🗿
Normally I know most of the facts you talk about in these video's, but apart from the egg laying and the hermaphrodite thing, I didn't actually know any of these facts. And even the hermaphrodite thing, I thought they would have a penis joust and the winner would get to be the male, so I only knew part of that.
Gastropods are hella wild lol
Nope, more successful for the species to have two clutches rather than one, if they've got the goods for it lol
iirc the penis joust is true for some species of nudibranch
Penis Joust should be a band name.
Dis actually reminds me of my kindergarten days, all kinds of documentaries for kidds that I have watched to ease to sleep. So soothing yet informative
Didn't expect Debussy in the background while watching snails' anatomy
The Internet has ruined one word from this sentence for me smh
This is an spectacular format, I hope they continue to make more of this videos, 10/10.
Dude, this video blew my mind. I never knew snails were intersex. And I never seen a snail so huge before, with a shell that pretty.
Wow 😐. Answering questions I never asked, but realizing I needed them answered.. 🧐Thank you!!
This was truly so interesting and surprising! 🐌🐌
Yay Michigan! Mighty nice of them to share their snail with us.
Would you consider making Playlist? Like mammals, birds ect. Somthing like that? I think that would be awesome. I love the content thank you. 😊
I still remember that quite a few years ago under my grape vine in my gardern i found a empty garden snail shell and also found lots of eggs coming out of it, but now I realised that they were just nothing other than the snail eggs!, Thanks for the information contained.
1:40 “docking”
I was having an alright day
And then you ruined it
Snail eggs are the cutest smallest eggs I have ever seen 🥺
The French eat the eggs i think
@@anonymous-sus406 Bruh why do humans eat everything they can get a hold of?
@@Mothobius because we can. Food is food
@@anonymous-sus406 Yeah but some things are just way too extreme. Like people who eat live animals. Literally just cook it or don't eat at all.
@@Mothobius you see, sometimes people can't chose what to eat, they just eat what they can get a hold of, and if something is consistent enough to them (e.g. snail eggs) it becomes tradition, and then even when they have "better" food available, they will still eat the "weird" food because of tradition
The narration has the rhythm of an educational Curious George episode. I quite love that!
2:05 💀 balls
This video was just a constant stream of questions I had never thought to ask but nonetheless were very interesting.
Wow, I got answers for questions I didn't knew I had. Thank you :)
💀💀💀💀
These kind of videos are far better and are worth your time rather than the cringey yt shorts and tiktoks, atleast you learn something!
The fascinating thing not mentioned about snails is that they grow their own shell. Then when no one is at home other animals take refuge in them. Like Hermit Crabs to Octopi.
I never knew that snails could be so interesting!
I've always thought their shell is a part of their body and cannot be removed like turtle does, wow. I learned interesting new today
Normally, they cannot be removed. The shells have to be removed surgically to avoid damaging what's inside.
I have a betta fish, and one time we had a snail appear in our tank (after purchasing some cork wood for his tank, assuming it was from that) and that one snail turned into 2, then 4, then 8, and so on and so on, obviously we had to take them out and do a deep clean, but we kept as many snails as we could and put them in their own tank, there were about 4-6 when we switched to their own tank, and that went from 4-6 to 15+ within a couple days, it was pretty wild, and this video helps me understand how that happened lol 😆
"Their tiny little balls."
this caught me off guard 💀💀
I am glad I found this channel. Amazing content!
"Do you see that small hole?" 💀
"They're tiny little balls" 💀💀
"Here at the tip" 💀💀💀
"Not just balls" 💀💀💀💀
I never thought I would watch a 2min video all about snails all because of my free will
I love your transitions to other questions
I have these giant snails (achatina) as pets. I have never seen them mate, but they sure produce alot of eggs.
It makes me sad when I see these beautiful creatures, and then realize my descendants most likely will never see these animals alive, and only in videos like this.
Better than us who only has drawings or skeletons of extinct animals. They may even recreate the very animals we have right now in 3D or something in AR with the help of HD photography and 3D modelling.
I mean, this coming and going of species has been happening throughout human history. I'm not saying humans aren't to blame to some degree for their incessant polluting, but animals dying out and new species coming along is very, very natural.
@@ElysetheEevee true
@@ElysetheEevee I mean... humans are to blame for the massive amounts of extinctions going on right now. Yea, it happens in nature but normally other animals replace those and so on. Massive extinction events are due to natural causes throughout history but now it is a man-made one.
Wow so sad I can't go outside and see a dinosaur
As a mum, I LOVE your channel. I don't mind it when my son is binging on your videos 😆 THANK YOU!!
That tiny little baby snail is too adorable.
Keep doing more of this style of video
Am already scared of snails but this is in whole another level
Bro same, my whole family got fobia with only snail
Imagine everyone instantly dying and historians comes to visit this guys basement
My friend breeds these giant land snails (achatina and archachatina), they lay tons of tiny eggs all fricking time lol, but in case of archachatinas, they lay only about 18 eggs, but those eggs are huge compared to these tiny eggs 😆
As far as I know. Never grab a living snail by the shell because you could, on the worst cases, kill them
I don’t know about land snails but marine snails you grasp by the shell and gently nudge the foot with your thumb until they let go to properly hole up in their shell. I have a Mexican turbo snail who’s going on 4 years old (since I bought it at least)
Eh as a kid I would always grab snail by the shell when I played with them, and that didn’t seem to kill them. Those were very small snails though, not like the one showed in this video.
This made me google a lot of things about snails all in one go
As a streamer with animal theme + avid love for animals an facts, this place is amazing. Thank you for enlightening my knowledge base even more then before!
I already know this :) me and my brother and my cousins where walking on my old backyard and we found a dead snail. Its shell was crushed and some of the pieces were at the ground, we were disgusted after seeing what hiding behind the snail shell
Can you try to remove a live snails shell without damaging the organs and make a video?
@@Trex91818 no, the shell is required for the snail to be able to breath
So cool I love your videos 💗
What we never asked for, but always wondered
I always wondered why snail shell looks curly....now I know the answer, thanks
As Wise Sensei once said: "If there is a HOLE, there is a GOAL"
Snails have been in their shells for so long that they have become the shell.
Yet another thing SpongeBob got wrong.
I don't think a show with a talking square sponge with arms and legs is gonna be accurate all the time
Hard to believe this specimen is over 50 years old. Well done.
I'm so glad I discovered this lovely channel. Both informative and pleasurable to watch...
I always thought snails are kinda dumb. Now I have full certainty. Thank you good sir for giving me answers for my shower thoughts
1:35 why are you shaking so much brooo😭😭
Amazing. Simply amazing.
I learned snails lay eggs from a GMM episode. But everything else is entirely new to me. Fascinating facts that I never would've inquired about on my own.
Did you just remove that snail's shell? It's naked now!
It’s so gross but I can’t look away XD
THAT WAS FREAKIN AWESOME
I didn't NEED to know this but I'm SO glad I do! Thank you!
Damn your hand is REALLY shaking as you're demonstrating the reproduction, I wonder why 😂
I can imagine it's hard to hold the pencils without tapping the walls. Or maybe several shoots made his arm tired.
1:24 The Snussy 😩
NOOO
DONT YOU THINK OF IT
This video felt so weirdly invasive until I saw that University of Michigan sponsorship 😂
This is insane , amazing .
When I was a kid, my mom found a really pretty shell on the beach, and when she brought it home, it still had the snail inside it. She boiled it to kill the snail without damaging the shell, and fished the body out with n unbent paperclip. I got to see in person what the inside of a snail shell looks like; we were all pretty fascinated by the fact that their organs are curly too.
What the actual fuck
"Everything reminds me of her" 😭
So interesting!
Amazing, informative, thanks for such rich information, thanks to all team behind it
As a kid who used to collect snails as pets, I never knew how much I already knew about snails.
Once I accidentally stepped on a small snail, I remember that I crushed its house. After watching this video I feel even worse, the poor guy didn't even get a chance to grow up
Have you ever done a video on leopard slugs? I saw some mate once and it was fascinating
snails are those animals i forget exist until i see one on a walk and I'm like "oh yeah, this thing exists"
I love your content man.
Nice video. I love learning about animals.
Funny that the tag shows it was captured in Hawaii. First thing I thought of when I saw how big that snail was was the giant snails that I'd see when I lived in Hawaii.
Absolutely fascinating. This just appeared in my recommendations too.
This format is great 👍🏼
This guy: *Has an entire museum of animals*
Also this guy: *But I was wrong!*
I once thought women peed out of their ass, but i was wrong.
Omg i've always wondered how their inside look like ! Thank you for making this video xd
Sometimes the RUclips algorithm gives you real gems.
We have two aquatic snails and the day after we got a new one SHE LAID 4 EGGS (that’s 400 egg!) we also had African dwarf frogs in the same tank and thankfully the frogs ate the eggs
