For example, there is the sea cucumber that shoots a stringy white substance from its back end to tangle an adversary. Snails , of course, use a slimy foot to slide up walls.The sundew plant ensnares prey in their sticky drops.
I'm happy to take it. But snails eat mushrooms.
Can anyone tell me why I'm wearing this mask? These snails are the size of dinner plates and they live in trees.
I'm happy to take it. Does that mean snails are healthy, too?
I'm happy to take it. That's why snails are healthy.
This is not exactly to scale because I didn't have just sort of infinite room to go off here. And there are marine snails that scrape food off rocks, and there are marine snails that are predators that eat other fish, and there are marine snails that float,
trail holding on to roots that jutted from the earth and arrived on a stretch of stand speckled with empty clamshells musles and snails that clung to the wet Stones far down the beach a rock outcropping Rose from the water a single Heron stood on the peak that broke the
And then I think actually just the last thing I did manage to get into the book, the last story was about how cone snails -- these are poisonous sea snails that live in the tropics. They are notorious for having incredibly diverse and complex toxins that they use to hunt all sorts of animals, including
And again, I want to give you a sense of the type of dishes that are part of the menu. One of them is called snails under the earth. It's served as a soup, but there actually is snails at the bottom of the plate.
This is not exactly to scale because I didn't have just sort of infinite room to go off here. So you'll see radulas in snails , even in clams, all kinds of different mollusks.
This is not exactly to scale because I didn't have just sort of infinite room to go off here. And I don't mean just garden snails at this point.
This is not exactly to scale because I didn't have just sort of infinite room to go off here. There are a lot of marine snails .
We're talking about familiar creatures. Mollusks range from slugs and snails and squid and octopus. And two slightly stranger things you might not have heard are things like argonauts and sea butterflies and chitons, and weird little things called gastros that
Can anyone tell me why I'm wearing this mask? But the whole thing about snails is that they like to chew.
Well, logically you might think, well, maybe they're carried. Because clearly, little aquatic snails are not leaving a pond to go miles and miles to another pond. Probably, they're carried. Well, once again, Darwin thought of that.
They've knocked spiders silk off the perch. And they figured that actually because these are the snails that clamp themselves to rock and spend their lives scraping the rock with their teeth, they've evolved this incredibly strong material in their teeth.
But all I could see-- those beautiful tree-like extended tentacles were not extended. Probably many of you have seen these cone snails .
Presumably, they're eating these ducks. He's saving the legs and then dangling the legs in aquaria full of snails to see if the snails will hop aboard the feet. He's imagining that sleeping ducks in lakes, as the feeder dangling down, snails will become hitchhikers.
And they're just, just incredible creatures. These are types of mollusk, snails , and clams that no one's ever seen before. A clam with pink tentacles for goodness sake.
Anyway, so there's lots of stories told about sea silk, also known as byssus. I was going to call it, "Snails , Tears, and Thunderstones." And then everyone said, I don't know what thunderstones are, and what's this thing about snail's tears?
There's still liquid in there, and you'll see it. There was blood pudding poutine on there and rib eye for two with snails , choucroute garnie.
But all I could see-- those beautiful tree-like extended tentacles were not extended. But they're quite amazing, the cone snails , whole group of animals.
One of them is called snails under the earth. It's served as a soup, but there actually is snails at the bottom of the plate. And they're hidden under a foam of raw garlic and potato.
The very first cephalopod was made by a shell. A buoyant shell. And that was what separated the early cephalopods from all of the other snails , and mollusks, and other clams and things that were living on the sea floor. And to understand how this happened, we have to go way, way, way back in time because cephalopods are twice as old as dinosaurs.
was in May 1968. And I was on my way to the Pyrenees where I spent many years going every summer and working on the genetics of snails . As I often say, I'm one of the world's top six experts on the genetics of snails , and the other five agree.
Can anyone tell me why I'm wearing this mask? Oh, yeah. Or land snails ?
Can anyone tell me why I'm wearing this mask? So it's the African equivalent of a chew stick when you get one of these snails .
It wouldn't go. Or you would occasionally get people who would buy it, but it-- no. And if you asked the customer, why would you not want to eat snails ? The answer was, I don't like them.
restaurants you want to talk about those I think a lot of people might want I have three restaurants two in Athens Georgia the first one was 5 and 10 I opened 12 years ago we expanded a snails pace six years later I opened up a place called The National which features sort of very southern Spain and Northern African food um and then we opened up
This is not exactly to scale because I didn't have just sort of infinite room to go off here. And, in fact, all the different snail radulas are useful because snails eat in a lot of different ways.
He's saving the legs and then dangling the legs in aquaria full of snails to see if the snails will hop aboard the feet. He's imagining that sleeping ducks in lakes, as the feeder dangling down, snails will become hitchhikers. In the morning, the duck wakes up.
And I was on my way to the Pyrenees where I spent many years going every summer and working on the genetics of snails . As I often say, I'm one of the world's top six experts on the genetics of snails , and the other five agree. But that's no longer true.
Somewhere, we have to get it in. And then I think actually just the last thing I did manage to get into the book, the last story was about how cone snails -- these are poisonous sea snails that live in the tropics.
And if you cut through a chambered nautilus, which is this shell here, you get a pretty good approximation to that logarithmic spiral in two dimensions. And if you look at lots of different mollusks, many of the gastropods with the spiraling shells, the snails , as well as these the natutilises, and various other, the bivalves too, clams and so on, they do still have spirals in their shells.
Can anyone tell me why I'm wearing this mask? And there's a place in Brooklyn, in east Flatbush, that has these snails .
They see the food. And I see this in England, especially, where if I take an example of snails -- 20 years ago, you put snails on the menu in England, and we just wouldn't sell it.
So he did that. The trouble is, it's edible, so he lost half of it to mold and the other half to snails . And he finally got his plastic by just scavenging some plastics from somewhere and melting it.
