Behaviour
The slithersucker is a slime mould, a very primitive form of life which is neither animal nor plant but a large, organised community of microbes.
It lives in the lichen trees of the Northern Forest and is an efficient predator. At certain times of the day, it oozes along a branch and dangles strands of itself below, forming a sticky curtain.
It is able to move from tree to tree by living in a megasquid's mantle and then erupting out.
Feeding:
A passing forest flish is easily trapped in the slithersucker's, slimy net.
Once the flish has been caught, the slithersucker slides off the branch and crashes to the forest floor.
There it secretes a digestive acid which slowly dissolves the helpless forest flish.

Gotta love the ending. "A mega squid." Lol, I'm going to have fun riding those around in the future.

Humans will stay for much longer and earth may be burt by then or transported
This show is just about The weirdest thing I’ve ever seen, and I wish more people knew about it. It has such good meme potential.

I know right it's an amazing series
if you seen the whole show it makes sense...
"The flish have learned to beware of the Zumbles, which lie in wait in the carnivorous Skabooblio trees. The Zorgies, however, are not so cautious. Now, they have paid the price."

The Forest Flish weren't given any focus in the airing I watched, so when I say those little brightly colored things flying around in the forest I was so confused--I was like "wait, didn't the narrator just say that birds are extinct in this point of the future?"
"But I can find no such case..." Exactly. Every organism on this planet can be explained by evolution.
Very interesting. Also... oh my god, that guy is a megadork, I LOVE him.
Forest Flish, if it lays eggs on dry land in a shell, is probably no longer a fish and perhaps a reptile with a specific appearance. In the course of further evolution he would probably develop feathers and then switch to a cluster of birds.
this was one of the best doc on the discovery channel.
I think the idea of the mega squid is a bit out there in terms of evolutionary possibility... at least on land.

Pretty much all life originated in the ocean
Cephalopods today have a generally high intelligence, especially for molluscs.
this show was so... vague.

HAHAHAHA, the megasquid!!!!!!!!!!!!
if ya ask me don't ever eat pumpkin pie tomorrow ya never know when they might mutate into a slime mold
"The shkleeves are timid creatures, part rat and part chicken, scampering along the first floor. The highly evolved Zombos watch them with disdain, for they are the only creature with 26 eyes and an IQ of 9,767.
Lord Zeus will RELEASE THE MEGASQUID!!

We used to have a giant cattle that is a direct decendant of mostly all modern cows. It was known as the Aurochs. Sometimes called Uris or Ure, they were alot bigger than their decendants. They died out in the 1800's
may the blobs rise! XD
All of the slime mold species evolved from a common ancestor: an orange, bipedal creature with a ridiculously inflated sense of self importance. Now, 200 million years, the slime mold is venturing down that path once again.

That way it's similar to characteristic of 'The Blob".
"It has attracted the attention of another creature. An eight-foot high, ten ton COW!"
Fascinating stuff. :) Holy shit @ mega squid.
I wonder, what would terrestial / aerial moving fish taste like?

Probably half chicken, half fish
a slime mould travelled back in time in the BLOB
wow. that is amazing.
OH FUCK, FIRST EVIL SLIME THEN CTHULHU
I identify as a sentient orange slime blob and this is very slimephobic and offensive to me
@bartman464 It's not a prediction, just a speculation. A "What if?" sort of thing.
Actually, insects don't generally rely on their circulatory system for O2. The tracheal tubes go directly into the body. Of course, that has it's own problems for a slime mold. On the other hand, real slime mold grow more than microns thick with no circulatory or tracheal system to be found...
I thought scientists discovered slime molds weren't really fungus more recently

Also it can for humans?
