00:00Alibamo is a fine dining restaurant that is a favorite of many of us.
00:06But did you know that what we are looking for under the sea is also a lot of people?
00:12And their movement is just like a pop influencer because his defense is out of this world.
00:19That is our amazing story number 3.
00:21Alibamo that can eat.
00:23Let's go!
00:25In the sea of Taiwan, there are thin hydrothermal vents or pools of very hot water and gas that is full of carbon dioxide.
00:35But this place is a trip for scientists.
00:38This is what will happen to the whole world if global warming is not stopped.
00:43Oh, it's hard to live here.
00:46Only super sulfur vent crabs are enjoying here.
00:51Their bodies are already learning how to use sulfuric acid.
00:56Their biochemistry has already changed to fight the carbon dioxide levels that are dying.
01:02All those who are having a hard time breathing, they are having a snack.
01:06Plankton dies immediately when it is carried into the hell of water.
01:10They continue to become cockroaches.
01:14In this condition, cockroaches are the only ones in the pond.
01:18What's new?
01:19Because cockroaches live anywhere.
01:23That's why a lot of people are copying them.
01:25But their strong design is the reason why they lasted 200 million years.
01:32It has 8 legs.
01:33It has big claws.
01:35It has a hard shell.
01:37360 vision.
01:40It can be in the sea and on land.
01:42That's why all over the planet, they are known to love to walk around.
01:46This is also the reason why Mother Nature has several makeovers in the design of their bodies.
01:53This is a cockroach.
01:54Cockroach.
01:55Cockroach.
01:56Not a cockroach.
01:58Cockroach.
01:59Cockroach.
02:00And this is not a cockroach.
02:03Porcelain crab is the best example of carcinization.
02:08Or the tendency of a cockroach to appear and disappear.
02:11Just like this.
02:12Porcelain crab comes from the family of squat lobsters.
02:16It's a dish that looks like it's being chewed and squeezed.
02:19King crabs are the offspring of hermit crabs.
02:22By the way, they are not cockroaches.
02:25There are many plus points if you are afraid of cockroaches.
02:29It's easy to hide in rocks or swamps.
02:31And you are not exposed to predators.
02:34Crab-Eyed Gobby is well-convinced of carcinization.
02:38He also followed the trend.
02:40He became a cockroach.
02:43But there is no perfect defense.
02:47The king of cockroaches became a cockroach, so no one can disturb him.
02:54Coconut crabs are not the biggest hermit crabs in the world.
02:58I repeat, they are not legit cockroaches.
03:02He fortified his house to be safe.
03:05He breathes using his old things.
03:08So he doesn't need to go back to the sea.
03:12Except if his eggs are ready under his mountain.
03:17When it's about to hatch, the sea will feel it.
03:21That's where they will start their lives.
03:23That's if they are lucky with the crabs.
