best thing about AVNJ is that unlike a lot of channels that do this "here's why this thing is bad" type content is that he actually goes after something genuinely harmful related to a topic he has a real understanding of. Most of the time what I get recommended is just someone making nitpicky (and often contradictory) complaints about something that really doesn't matter at all (like a poorly written tv show that most people know is bad already) while throwing around ableist slurs for upwards of 45 minutes.

Speaking of Hybrids. I was recently rewatching some old videos on Homonculi. And the amount of people who completely misunderstood Biology is hilarious. Humonculi are genetically impossible. Yet so many people were arguing they were possible to make, siting things like the Mule. Nevermind the fact that the Mule is made by breeding two species that are very identical. And the fact that the Mule only barely works. Or stating things like, "Because the egg is already fertilized, if you replace the sperm at the right time, it won't know the difference". Nevermind by replacing, they just mean injecting the egg with human sperm. That's not how that works. People who don't get this basic fact about biology always just, crack me up.

10:01 is an Eel Goby, it is a sub-family of Goby. they live in mud and don't need eyes. the channel Deepsea Oddities has a video on it.

This is actually a pretty good video compared to the others you watch. This one doesn't fearmonger or use debunked science, and it actually provides possible explanations what the "mutants" actually are.

fun fact, the ability to drink milk as an adult is a human mutation. you are supposed to lose your ability to drink milk as you age, but at some point a mutation occurred that allowed someone to digest lactose into later ages. which further developed into some people being able to digest it for their entire lives. a lot of adults do still lose the ability at some point in life though.

Just a small thing to note about your explanation of mutations at the start that I'm sure you're aware of and just misspoke: mutations do not "usually" result in the death of an organism, as most mutations are benign in nature and do not affect the organism in any noticeable way. Other than that, great video!

In my marine biology class in highschool we dissected some squid. While following instructions on removing the eyeball my group mates and I noticed our squid had a weirdly shaped and colored eye. My teacher walked over and said it could’ve been blind when it was alive. I loved that class because there were so many tanks in there that we all took part in maintaining, and my teacher was active in research so she could get us some cool animals to keep for a while. On a sad note, this year some seniors from the same highschool that I graduated from like 5 years ago did a “senior prank” where they battered gutted and froze a pregnant shark to hang the corpse in one of the hallways, thinking it was funny because our mascot is the sharks. I’m hearing they’re not gonna walk during graduation and frankly, I say that’s just fair enough punishment for that behavior. There isn’t much more they can do when those responsible are a month away from leaving. Even back when I was there, my marine bio teacher had to deal with similar assholes messing with her fish, too. We had to get rid of our puffers because some idiots found it hilarious to make them have constant panic attacks so they’d jump out of the tank during class and puff up. Marine biology was by far my favorite class and it made me so upset seeing everyone abuse the fish like that.

#2 is an eel goby, it lives in marine mudflats of southeast asia and it never leaves the anoxic thick mud.

Hey, Zak, I just thought I'd comment that you've basically directly inspired me to become a marine biologist myself. I'm literally graduating with my Bachelor's in English right now and already coordinating to see how I can transfer into a masters/PhD in environmental studies or marine sciences. I always thought fish were cool but I've learned a lot from this channel and others like it and I hope I can get into the field too. So thanks for the content you provide!

That was actually a pretty good video. Yeah, there were a few entries that were shit/I've seen before, but a few of these I genuinely haven't seen. Plus it's a nice change from the typical "fish scary" videos.

My mom has a pond with a thriving frog population, and we have had 2 frogs now that have a mutation where they don’t have yellow pigment, so they’re blue!! They’re very shiny too. I love them

The dolphin is most likely not a mutation since two heads is often the result of absorbtion of other siblings on the womb, not related to genetics which is also why it's fairly common despite being such a big difference. Other cases of this is the growth of extra limbs (sometimes facing the wrong direction)

I know you've done a "Worst fish" list, but I'd like to see a "Top (X) Cursed Adaptations" list that is less about the fish as a species and more focused on getting trolled by nature.

the first two were actually pretty interesting stories even if i already know them. they are well studied but even then they are highly unusual and fun stories to come back to now and again.

'Simpsonichthys chacoensis' is a stunning species of the genus Simpsonichthys, with a beautiful shape, colors, and reflective patterning of dots and stripes.

mutations in fish are so common as youve said, its literal proof of evolution and how natural selection works and though its only a very small sliver in the entire history of the world... its still some physical proof and yet we still have people who believe the world is 2000 years old...

This is what most people confuse as evolution, animals just mutated and adapted to different environments.

Maybe is all an old fake news to attract turists and fishermens, but the pictures of the size of the carp is really amazing, it looks like an underwater cow.
