You always make me laugh. You're hilarious Frank thanks
😆😆😎👍
Normally I really hate it when RUclipsrs interrupt their videos out of the blue to mention their sponsors instead of just doing it at the beginning or end. I make an exception for Zefrank, because even though it's still stupid and annoying, the jokes he puts in them promotion makes up for it compared to other RUclipsrs
Love your videos!!!! It’s always a good day when a new ZeFrank video drops!!!!
Ideas for future True Facts episodes: Peacocks, Wolves and canine pals, Mustelidae family ( ferrets, weasels, otters) , pinnipeds (sea lions, seals), eagles, sugar gliders, flying squirrels
Zefrank is one of the very few RUclipsrs I will actually watch the sponsorships for.
When the jaws open wide, and there's more jaws inside, that's a moray!
When the jaws open wide and there's more jaws inside, that's a moray!
Best part is the Xenomorph from Alien was not inspired by Morays - the director thought that was too weird for evolution to ever come up with IRL.

I heard about the beetle that escapes the frog gut about a week ago, but I appreciate you letting us see the frog _completely freak out_ upon noticing the beetle is no longer inside.
guess it _was_ very chalant after all!
"Oh, there's another... wait!"
@@YourXavier😂
What now, Kermit?
I’m more astonished that the frog is apparently not HARMED by something that big popping out of its anus.
For scale, imagine if you managed to swallow a hamburger completely whole, and then it somehow passed through you, completely undigested. That is what Reggie just did to that frog!
This is the weird stuff you get into when you decide not to evolve into land animals.
That's why we gotta keep them down. If you see a fish trying to evolve, EAT IT.
@@kirbyis4ever i think for sure of all the animals on the earth the one that would be the freakiest if they evolved to the level we have would be found in the sea. they are freaky enough as is.

@@Dexuzmari what
Ever been just lying around relaxing, and suddenly someone comes up and starts sucking on you?
I got 'cleaned' by a remora once. I was scuba diving, and this particular dive was to see some sharks with a guide feeding them. We called it the 'everyone gets hit in the head with a shark' dive. Anyway, dive is fun, and when it ends we start ascending back to the surface. Well, with that many sharks around there were also remora as well, and while I was ascending I just sort of left my arms at my side letting my hands and fingers float around. Turns out lazily floating people fingers look a whole lot like parasitic worms, so one of the helpful remora swims up under me and tries to nom on one of them! It wasn't like being bit so much as running your finger along sand paper, but I jerked my hand away, the fish realized that was part of me and swam off, and now I'm sitting there with a bleeding finger...with about 40 sharks below me. I wouldn't say that I freaked out, but i would say that every claim about how far away a shark can smell blood instantly snapped into my head, and I clamped down on my finger hard enough that I couldn't feel it by the time I finished my ascent! Not once did I consider that the bunch of chopped up fish the guide had brought down and fed to the sharks would likely swamp out any sent from a tiny flesh wound on my hand. Nope, that didn't occur to me until I was out of the water, and my butthole had released its death-grip on my wetsuit!
I guess the moral of the story is that its good to remember what sort of things different sea creatures like to eat, and to do your best not to impersonate those things! Except for cleaner shrimp. They give the best manicures!
That's a great story. Thanks for sharing.
They did a Mythbusters episode about that once, turns out sharks don't give a rat's ass about human blood.
The remora going “oh that’s you??? My bad :(“ is amazing
You mean the remora-l of the story? :P
@@ussxrequin BOOO!!!...but also you get an upvote.
Hi @zefrank! I am a current member of the Wainwright Lab (Khalil Russell, 2nd year PhD student under the "Lab Members" tab) and just have to say how excited/honored I am that what we do has been featured on your channel! You make the funniest science communication content that I've ever seen by far and I've been showing everyone I know that OUR LAB is FAMOUS now! You did a PHENOMENAL job explaining fish feeding in a way that anyone can understand. Anyway, thank you on behalf of the Wainwright Lab and keep up the excellent work!
Hey, thanks to all of you for your work, and for inspiring Ze! More fun - and actual science - for everyone.
That's one of the science hippies!
Hi science hippie 👋👋👋
Aww this was a lovely comment ❤ think sure had me gasping for breath and I learned so much. I watch these with my son ❤
skull F**Kers, LOL

"This is because most fish suck. They also use suction to feed!"
Took me a good 5 second to laugh
Fish suck and whales blow. Such is the circle of life.
😂😂😂
John Oliver would agree
@@CollinMcLeandumbass fish not knowing how to breathe.
It's taking me 5mins and counting...
I saw the beetle who crawled out the frog somewhere else this week, too. He's quite popular with the science hippies this week.

Same, saw the diagram on my FB feed about a day or two ago. Glad I'm not the only one.
I saw it on Ze’s instagram this morning.
SciShow covered it when the paper came out, but not quite as funny.
Funny! But not Ze Frank funny :D

I was so nervous for Reggie, imagine going through all that work just to be stuck in a bare container with the guy who just ate you
he can do that all day if he has to.
@@Vote_By_Mailwell....I suppose that's true 😂😂
I assumed it was the same beetle in both videos so he’d be used to it by now 😂
Fun fact: The Matamata Turtle is the only known reptile that uses the same gape-n-suck feeding method as many fish. I’m surprised that you didn’t give the turtle an honorable mention.
woooah these turtles are awesome! thanks for telling me!
Then you would have to give most of my ex girlfriends an honorable mention too.
That Cormorant pulling a Ramora off a Whale shark has to be one of the coolest things I've ever seen.
Have always had a fascination for cormorants (since reading The Story of Ping about captive cormorants being used to fish on the Yangtze River). They just got a whole lot more fascinatinger!
@@yvetteworrall8909, Cormorants were also featured in The Island of the Blue Dolphin, a book (novel) I read as a teen.
@@SuziQ. Oh my goodness both of those are blasts from the past!
@@EmilySmirleGURPS , Do you recommend The Story of Ping? I haven’t read it. I read the other one several times. I think it’s based on San Nicholas Island, off the coast of Ventura. People can’t go there. It’s a military property/air base.
I know, bros got some breath control huh
Things I learn in today:
- fishes can give the best French kiss
- if you want to eat Reggie make sure you chew
He's still going the same route, hypothetically. It just takes longer.
@@MrJdseniorin more pieces. Travel light
@@MrJdsenior so Reggie wins either way
"I'd be chalant; I'd be very fucking chalant if a beetle just crawled out my ass!" 4:13
the line "Like using whatever comes out of your pimples as moisturizer," got me to physically recoil and say, outloud, "oh I don't like that." so. Bravo!
Additional fun fact: birds often see colors different to how we see them, sometimes off our spectrum entirely. So the "yellow lipstick" at the end probably appears a great deal different/more vibrant to birds than it does to us.
Did one of them tell you this?

“No Jerry, it’s asterisk, not asstricks!”
Oh dear heavens, I was wondering for a second there if Jerry was on vacation or in the hospital since he seemed absent from the script, but turns out he was just hyping himself up for a big one 😂 it’s good to hear he’s doing just fine and is up to no good as usual 😆
The moray eel was what H.R. Giger used as his inspiration for the Xenomorph.
In the case of the creature, the secondary jaws didn't hold the prey in the throat, they extended out as a weapon.
why's the real life version gotta be scarier. a second set of beteethed jaws holding the being in place as the first set of jaws st*bs and chews 😳😳😳

It's remarkable how much is going on in animals you consider mundane. I've removed fish hooks from literally thousands of bluegill and bass and had no idea how a lot of the mechanics of their mouths worked.

I was actually hoping you would do one over the Remora. As a Scuba Diver I've had one attach to my leg before. Didn't hurt but wasn't exactly comfortable either.
Your videos are like when textbooks make jokes, but actually good, and almost entirely made of the jokes. It's always worth waiting however long between each masterpiece because they are so well put together. ❤

You just casually drop that all birds have an oil nipple on their lower back at the end of a sucky fish video? Madman.
You can see it easily when cooking a duck, at the base of the tail. People often remove it because it doesn't smell good.
This 2nd jaw in fish / eels is the inspiration for the 'little mouth' of the Xenomorph Alien. 😊👍
That Frog be like ooooo a beetle, gets up close, recognises his face, smells his own anoose aroma and regrets his entire life. 😂
“Special corner of underwater pornography” and “was there another option” had me belly laughing. And now I know all about how an erection prevents Ramona’s from falling off their ride. My life is complete!

If you like that kind of wordplay, you'd love the poetry of Felicia Lamport, who gave us the inimitable line, "I much prefer cest, it's so scene."
Who knew sucking at something was such a valuable skill? And remoras take "stage 5 clinger" to a whole new level. Also, don't get me started on that beetle. Talk about a fantastic voyage.
Agreed

Moray eel fact: There was once a diver who lost a thumb trying to feed a moray eel sausages. It's because its second jaw was so powerful, it pulled the thumb right off. And the moray eel thought it was a sausage.
well did the fella at least get the sausage
@@chewedw1re Well the diver lost his thumb to the moray eel, so yeah, he got his sausage. LOL 😆.
I seen the video of this. It was wicked. Not that he lost his thumb. But how fast that moray eel bit off and ate that thumb. I also saw a video of that eel accosting divers trying to get food from them. He got so used to being fed by that one group of divers, that he thought ALL divers had food. He pretty much mauled this one lady to pieces. He bit her arms and her legs. It was gruesome. She was snorkeling and was wearing a small top and bikini bottoms. So no protection from a wetsuit. It took 3 other divers to get him to quit chasing her. And all anyone has to do was swim past his cave and he would be coming out and swimming all around the diver and if the diver didn't have food, then he was going to get attacked. I think the local authorities finally re-homed him. I think.
@@cathyhendrix7552 Never thought there would be a need for a 'do not feed the underwater snake demons' sign, but alas here we are.
@@cathyhendrix7552 yep, that's why it's illegal to feed wild alligators and campsites are very emphatic about keeping your food out of reach of bears. an animal that associates humans with food is a dangerous animal
"That's right, in real life, that little Nemo was a snot-boy!" 😂😂😂 Omg, I love this channel! 💚💚💚
Just a long overdue note saying “thank you “ to Ze for many years of content. During the height of lockdown, these videos were something that my mom and I could watch (remotely) together, laugh and learn from, and we’re still watching. Thanks for making our lives that little bit happier.
Okay, but what this is telling me is that we NEED way more True Facts about various birds and the crazy things about their bodies!!

Thanks for making these videos. Sometimes we need them more than you may realize.
I read this somewhere and I do not know who said it first, but this is one of those rare moments where I get to share it:
"When the jaw opens wide,
There's another inside,
That's a moray"
Agreed, if I ate a Reggie and this happened, I'd also be very, veeeery chalant
I really like how this channel has evolved from mostly jokes to really interesting facts with occasional jokes thrown in between.

When the jaws open wide and there’s more jaws inside, that’s a moray.
When it sulks in a reef and has two sets of teeth, that’s a moray.
When you feel something plump then you pull back a stump, that’s a moray,
When ZeFrank says “It’s true. That's just how an eel do.” That’s a moray!
Ze Frank and Caitlan are perfectly brilliant! Educational AND hilarious. If only the nature shows I watched as a kid were this fun, I would have totally gone into another field of work!
Sometimes I think school is designed to make us boring robots. Math and science are taught in the worst ways possible, as if they want to make sure we don't care about them.
Sounds like Jerry wasn't just swallowing coins as a kid, he was swallowing the entire contents of his siblings piggybanks to perfect that trick!
I'm both surprised and disappointed that the lammergeier (bearded vulture) wasn't featured among birds that wear makeup, because they do their entire bodies and look gorgeous in red.
I was worried about Jerry until the end. Glad he was able to contribute.
That frog is justifiably startled.

I’ve decided to step away from watching true crime. I’m now dedicating my free time to watching animal videos. Especially animal videos that are sorta educational and utterly entertaining 😂❤
Depending on what kind of animal videos you watch, it may not be much of a change ;)
i highly recommend paleontology videos as well! the rabbit hole is never ending lol

9:44 That plop sounds satisfying
1990 my lil sister is turning the age is was that year (4 or 5?) and ALL she wanted were “kissing fish” for the tanklikr her nanny. Mom goes, buys 2, brings em home they go in the tank, little sis is SO excited because she has “2 fish that love each other”.
Next morning, wake up, the tank looks like a fish throw down took place. Two very obviously injured and exhausted kissing fish, pretty little shimmers in the water… oh those were scales from them attacking and nipping each other for approximately 10 hours. It was SO violent considering these are little tank fish. Turns out the dude in the pet store sold two males instead of one of each and apparently they REALLY two total Chads cause they literally almost killed each other and themselves all cause they both had peepees. My sister wouldn’t look at a fish tank for a year and was convinced they were trying to kill each other cause they missed they’re family” from the pet store, so for like 3/4 years she would tell her story to ANYONE even NEAR a fish tank as her own little public service announcement…
I've never known kissing gouramis to do that, even two males. Two male bettas will tear each other to pieces. Maybe the fish store clerk figured that one Anabantid is as good as any other.
As a fish fanatic that is the truest, sweetest story… fish are vicious!
3am. I should be in bed. Instead I'm watching Ze Frank. worth it.
Fun fact! The pharyngeal jaw of the Moray eel is what the inner claw jaw of Xenomorph from the Aliens franchise are inspired by.
Particually the face in ZeFrank's words, 'its like a hand reaching out'
not sure how many comments you read but youve been killing it man, every video you drop is hilarious. My biggest worry when you "came back" was that you wouldnt be as funny as you used to be but i truly mean it when i say im laughing even harder than i was back in the old days. keep killing it man
Let’s be honest. They’re obsessed with fish skulls in a dirty way.
Always a pleasure to hear Frank make the most poetic script for something completely weird & disgusting.I wish his Tvtropes article got more love.
Never heard of it, but just spent twenty minutes reading it and laughing all the way through. Good memories!
Wait, how do I find this?
@@CL-go2ji Get ye to the google!
@@CL-go2ji, Good question. I just dug through this channel and didn’t find it. I didn’t check “zefrankenfriends” yet, though.
@brunomaric9034, where can we find that article?
@@CL-go2ji I just did a google search on "Ze Frank tvtropes" and it came right up. Have fun! Lots of good quotes that you'll remember, very likely!

Ita offical guys, this fish is the pinnacle of -motorsports- evolution.
The current Formula 1 cars use ground effect (as explained low pressure between Car/Fish and Ground/Whale sucks the car/fish down - which in motorsports allows for very high cornering speeds and g forces without losing control/traction) and have those "Venturi-Tunnels" at the bottom that are named (kinda obviously :D) after the effect.
this episode is pretty perfect, Ze, I don't think it'll be easy to top this one in the future
phenomenal work as always
I have a new appreciation for having a semi-normal jaw setup
Thank god for Zefrank. Making hump day a more pleasurable experience.🤣
Hump day is infinitely more enjoyable if you actually hump.
..hump day?
@@Voxen712 Wednesday, midweek for the the weekday workers
I'd rather thank something real, time & chance
@@zero95lucky oh okay, thanks 👍
I’ve just binged watched all your vids. You are brilliant, funny and informative. Love it.
If they had played the videos on this channel when I was in high school, I would've been inspired to become a biologist. I'm certain that I would have been way more interested in science.
Between you, Jerry, and Creepy Dave, making the day better, I can't thank you enough.😚😚😚
That vulture reminds me: We need more Creepy Dave content! 😀
Love your humour, classical music and sound effects!
The footage at 7:34 was great!! That whale shark was covered in remoras, and the remoras were getting quite the ride on the tail fin.
At first I thought this video would be about fish that are just hated or weak in the animal kingdom. But then I thought that you’d make this based on a sucking joke and I was right 😂
Learn me some birds and fish stuff. How does this channel have so many things documentaries never tell you. The ones on mainstream tv are always just preoccupied with drama, survival, mating but it's done like a soap opera or wannabe game of thrones. They make up for it with beautiful landscape cinematography but I usually don't learn something new.
edit: this comment reads like the first part of a curiosity stream ad and if I wasn't already content overloaded I would definitely consider signing up.
Thank you! Drives me nuts. I've watched countless nature videos and they almost never delve into the minutia of anything. It's always either mating or eating and doesn't break down the mechanics of anything. The most fascinating parts are in the details. They're usually too interested in anthropomorphizing the animals. I don't care what it's perceived motivations are, and I don't care what name you've given to the youngest baby squirrel as we follow it around. Tell me about how it rotates it's rear legs so it can grip and run down trees.
Thank you for the many giggles and smiles you have given to me while watching your valuable documentaries. You're the best, Zefrank!
Amazing categories and amazing sound effects!
I love that this is about fish but then the video just talks about birds with makeup tips
Good point, now I gotta go back and see how that utterly seamless transition was accomplished. Ze is one sneaky SOB. He should work in beh-beh more often, though. I'm in withdrawal. And more Creepy Dave, I LOVE Creepy Dave's 'bestest and most favoritist' series. If Dave was an owl, I could have worked in 'it's a hoot', too...dammit.
That Slingjaw is a real life Alien Xenomorph and that second set of jaws is terrifying.
I learn so much from this and your voice really helps
You gotta make more of these man
I will NEVER get tired of the side commentary in this guy's videos.
Thumbs up if you paused at 4:25 to follow the route of the beetle through the frog guts like it was some kind of puzzle on a children's menu in a restaurant!! 👍👍 Yes, I had to do it twice. My crayon broke halfway through.🤣
All Reggie had to do was keep from getting turned around, he had the easy part...oh wait.
👍👍👍
Great video as always. Keep up the great work, much appreciated
Jerry should get his own video someday. He picks the animal, he writes the entire script.
I was getting ready to loudly second until I realized you didn’t mean a True Facts about Jerry video 😂😂
@@hannahrobbins1017 That would also be good
Your videos are a constant joy and I always learn something new! Thank you for everything. As much as I love the shorts (yo, Creepy Dave!) the longer content feeds my brain. And that doesn't suck at all!
The Science Hippies gave Reggie a camera. They won't tell you butt I've seen the footage.
Another quality animal education video! Thanks Frank and Gerry!
