The Blind Cavefish | JONATHAN BIRD'S BLUE WORLD
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 сен 2024
- Deep underground, in caves, there is no light. Because there is no light, there is almost nothing for animals to eat. Yet life survives here. The top predator in these sunless ecosystems is a tiny blind cavefish, only a few inches long. These fish are extremely rare, only found in the dark recesses of caves. Jonathan joins Christine Loew, a veteran cave explorer, on a mission to film this elusive fish in Mexico's Riviera Maya.
Christine Loew is an amazing cave/cavern diving guide! We highly recommend her! If you are planning a cave/cavern diving trip to Mexico, drop her a line!

PLEASE NOTE....THIS EPISODE WAS FILMED BEFORE WE WERE CAVE CERTIFIED AND WE ARE WEARING SINGLE TANKS. THE CAVE WE ARE DIVING IN IS ONLY HALF FILLED WITH WATER. WHILE IT IS A TRUE CAVE WITH NO NATURAL LIGHT, THERE IS AIR ABOVE THE DIVERS ALMOST ALL THE TIME. AS A RESULT, THIS IS NOT TRUE "CAVE DIVING."

I love it when the water is so clear that it looks just like air.
Same
1:24 water is so clear it looks like the fish is floating in the air.

As a new scuba diver, I have an all new appreciation for cave divers. Brave people in this video! Well done!
It's amazing, you can tell that fish knows what is ahead of him and the curve of the rocks. Just goes to show that even though he doesn't have eyes, doesn't mean he can't see. Evolution is so mindblowing.
Exactly that's Evolutionism the loss of something. If it had eyes in total darkness wouldn't it bump it's eyes into rocks and get infected and die and the same blind cave fish all over the world why didn't they evolve separately. Scientific answer. Because all the caves in the world are or used to be connected with absolutely no scientific evidence to support the idea other than blind fish. Have you ever thought that maybe they were designed without eyes because they live in a cave.
Please see my RUclips(●´ω｀●)(●´ω｀●)
Fish have a sensory area called a "lateral line" along each side of them. It is very sensitive to vibrations in the water caused by movement, sound etc. That's why even a blind fish will be able to notice something trying to catch it.
@@gordon985Oh they definitely evolved, there are countless different types of cavefish around the world. Most of them are close relatives of surface fish native to the surrounding area. For example, the Mexican blind cave tetra. This species varies greatly by where you find them. On the surface they are completely normal minnows with eyes, color and everything, but in the caves they are white, sometimes having vestigial eyes, sometimes sunken eyes covered by skin, and sometimes no eyes at all. This is an example of the process of evolution. You can see all the "steps" in real time. Many mutations and natural selection processes over the millennia.
Us humans in fact are responsible for some of our own evolution of our animals and plants. Most of our crops started out with very small fruits and edible parts. Over time we selectively bred them to grow bigger fruits, leaves, tubers etc. Before the chickens we know we're domesticated, they were a tropical bird species called jungle fowl. They used to be able to fly like a normal bird even. But after thousands of years of selective breeding, they are completely different. Much fatter to the point where they can no longer sustain flight, all kinds of different colors, increased egg production, ability to survive cold winters. That's evolution on a micro scale.
Now about the bumping into the walls thing, fish have many strong senses besides sight. They have a nerve area on their sides called the lateral line, that makes them very sensitive to vibrations. This allows them to sense their surroundings independently of sight. There are also many fish such as catfish that have whiskers, which are for the specific purpose of feeling around in the dark. Those fish have very good senses of smell as well. There are also even fish that create electric fields, like knife fish and elephant nose fish. They can sense interruptions in their electric fields from obstacles and can also sense the electric pulse given off by all animals. Elephant nose fish even use their electric pulse to communicate with each other.

Lol.. but tbh, why the eyes, then?
It was a paid actor
If you happen to see an alien, your first reaction would be fleeing.

He said they’re not blind, didn’t say they weren’t stupid lol
The narrator in the video is so good at speaking english making me sure enough to reach the highest score of my listening test.
M speechless , although the cave is dangerous yet its beauty is alluring and hypnotize you like a mermaid 😍
8:37 ¨The Blind Cavefish needs to stay in dark where it is safe¨ he says as he shines a huge light at the blind fish.
Well, you can't film them in the dark.
I've heard of these infrared cameras.
DrSharkBoy they're cold blooded...
Mr. Toxic 😂😂😂... Umm..

I can't believe how crystal clear the water is. Gorgeous!
dude Jonathan your videos are so amazing I try to tell everyone to check em out unfortunately many people aren't interested in learning. Either way. Goldmine of a channel you got.

That was beautiful. If I'd be honest with you guys, I have this little fear of deep-dark water, but this type of videos made me think, "Why the hell was I afraid of something this beautiful?" So now I watch this type of videos more often and enjoy their beauty. One day, I hope to go and explore them for real.
I’m in love with this clear water and location
Who else is addicted to this?

Thank you, you finally found my ex's jaw.
I did deep sea scuba diving one time and it was a life changing experience😍
Even life survives in complete darkness....wow it's really amazing.
Please see my RUclips
Diving in freshwater and now in HD. Thanks!
Freshwaters also have thousands of extraordinary creatures (fishes, shrimps, crabs, snails, sponges (Malawi)... And usually there are plants). Its a fascinating world but not many people look to the river of their area.
Thanks for showing a bit of the freshwater world too! Its great
Carlos Díez need job . I'm diver

It's another world there.
Roses are red violets are blue

Amanda He shoulda research those and explain
It look like a wild big to me
Yeah thats way cool!!
Same here.

This video made my day! Jonathan, you change your surname from Bird to Sea or Fish. An amazing diver and narrator. You will be the next Sir Attenboroug. The cave is just wonderful and the water is crystal clear. I gained a lot of knowledge today!
Makes me want to create a deep underwater cave themed aquarium.
crystal clear water 😍😍
Anaya
Anaya hhghg
Anaya no humans to plague the water (:
I have snorkeling in a nearby cenote, they actually mentioned pet cemetery when we were there
Anaya there are lots of minerals to filter the water. It is literally a cave. And the limited number of organisms contribute to that.
Water like as krystal. Its wonder ful video dear. Stay safe n.stay conrct
The first time I saw a short film on cenote diving, I was entranced by this purity of the water that made you feel that the divers were flying. In some areas, there were different layers of water, due to different densities as they were approaching the coast so I believe the salt water and the different temperatures all played a part in causing this phenomenon. Fascinating world.
It’s called the Halocline effect.
@@antovarguez thanks for the information. Nice word to know.

We watched this in science class today!! I was like I watch this guy!!!!
Awesome science teacher!!!
Looks heavenly........
in the world is that beautiful, especially in heaven
Hey, Jonothan bird, i used to watch this video when i was 5 now i am 11. i still watching them though. keep up the god work! :D
Imagine if the whole ocean was clear
Clear means no bacteria, some bacterias are very useful in sustaining n creating aquatic lives, so be grateful that our sea isnt clear :D
Actually, 99% of the water that makes up Earth's oceans is crystal clear. There are many things that effect the level of clarity in the Earth's oceans and bacteria is a non-factor when it comes to water clarity. I am assuming that VOK is talking about Bacterioplankton which are so small they have little to no effect to water clarity.
Also, Life is only created by God not bacteria.
@@PH_INFO_101 life is created by evolution not god
@@Landgraf43 yeah
Solemn place underneath the cave. Crystal clear water. How amazing is God for making these creations. 😱😍
These videos are amazing! I just stumbled onto them, very informative and well narrated!!
We have more than 200 of them, so that will keep you busy for a while!! :-)
(●´ω｀●)Please see my RUclips🦆
Amazing! I was told there are devils in those dark and bottomless caves. But turns out there are full of life and magnificent views down there.
Wow ! This is absolutely beautiful. Thanks for the video and keep up the good work.
I would be scared the cave would collapse while in there
Me too.
Or the stalactites all falling down
Oh my good water is so clear 😱😱
Its already been 5 years since i discovered this channel when i was sick asf. Time flies so fast.
Omg what a beautiful world
A clear water inside the cave....so amazing! The hidden paradise....
OMG that water is soooooooo clear 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
So cool! I love how you explained the details of everything you showed and also gave the fish like you would any other animal.

A little added stress in an otherwise stable environment is a GOOD thing for the inhabitants. A little stress is healthy and necessary in all life forms.
Wow....Wow....WOW...
It's😀😀😀 so...so.amazing..cave with crystal clear water...💙💙💙💙
This is amazing..but am afraid of dark water 😅
Thanx for not destroying anything , even not didplacing the bones , i like that

Cenotes are fresh water natural caves because it’s in caves and since they are natural water from underground from centuries ago it’s very blue
Exploring cave ecosystems helps remind us that humans are very large animals indeed.
I like the water, So clear
Amazing...Thanks for Showing us this amazing world.
He : There is the blind fish
Fish : hey...i can still see you
Omg I clicked to see if the water was real...it's surreal..
Most beautiful sight ever....😍😍😍😍
Marvellous!! Keep up the great work, Jonathan and team. Thanks for the great video.
Exceptionally amazing, i dream if i could be a part of this job.
You can do it!
Clearlake , Ca has blind white catfish. There is a folklore story that Mt Konocti , the inactive volcano that sits next to the lake. Has a cave and empty open area that they are in.... supposedly someone dropped a painted can in the volcano top and it surfaced in the lake weeks later.
Hd visibility underwater, unbelievable !
Still love watching him in 2018
Bro LOOK AT THE WATER SO CLEAN💜🥺
WOW jonathan your videos are very interesting and incredible of how you go to many lovely places keep it up and carefull👍

Oh my god! The water is soooo amazing 😮😍
the cavefish tail looks like the coelacanth tail could they be related?
Great video for my homeschooling daughter who was learning about these eyeless fish in her Bob Jones University curriculum.
The water is so clearr! I love to be in there
The thumbail is da reason y im here heheh😂😂💙💙❤❤💙
At kutumsar caves in bastar chhattisgarh India, there are blind fishes too, in a river flowing in that cave.
Nice video.

Is scuba diving allowed in those caves?
Blind cavefish has more coordination than I do with perfect vision.
i wish i can experience that someday , i wish i can be a a marine biologist, but that will be just a dream :( sometimes i felt this world is so unfair huhuhu..... by the way I always love your videos, i followed you in twitter and facebook,. thank you so much for the videos they always make me feel happy :) God bless you Jonathan and all the staffs
I'm a diver and I'm only 10 years old.I believe you can do it!😄
+Finley Place wow,. yeah i wish someday,. thanks kid :)
