    Why did the alga and the fungus get married? They took a lichen to each other.
    I have bad news. Their marriage is on the rocks.

    Jessi brings such an happy and positive aura with her, you can tell she really loves her job and is excited about explaining animals to everyone.

    This episode has green lichen, green frog and a green Hank.
    Also, at 23:05 Hank "fat shames" a frog. LOL

    So this is one of the first Sci-show talk shows that I watched all the way through and I really enjoyed it. The lichen was super cool.

  • @jexx30
    @jexx30 Před 7 lety +3

    I love this, I love all of it. The frog is amazing, and I particularly enjoyed Jessie's enjoyment of the very weirdness of this frog. So fun. Good job.

  • @reececrump8483
    @reececrump8483 Před 7 lety +8

    when you'r a lichen expert are you a mycologist , a botanist (though I suppose algae aren't plants? just an informal term for a photosynthetic organism that is not a plant?), a micro biologist, a macrobiologist, or just a really fungi?

    • @TheRedKnight101
      @TheRedKnight101 Před 7 lety +7

      He would be considered a botanist and more specifically a mycologist, botany encompasses all photosynthetic organisms and fungi. Although more closely related to animals the zoologists don't want to take the fungi and the botanists don't want to give them up, The microbiologists have some beef with fungi as the spores keep getting in their bacterial cultures.

    • @reececrump8483
      @reececrump8483 Před 7 lety +2

      TheRedKnight wait so I can be a botanist and still study fungi under the title of botanist!? dude you have no idea how happy you just made me, picking a major just became a lot easier.

    • @TheRedKnight101
      @TheRedKnight101 Před 7 lety +4

      Reece Crump If you are interested in mycology make sure to look for a college that offers it as a class and has more then one class in it. I was lucky as mycology was taught as it's own course where I go and not in botany. Mycology is really cool but does not get the recognition it deserves in many colleges. Make sure the college you go to has a mycologist who actively studies it for the best experience. Also as a botany major you will obviously have more plant courses then fungal so I hope you like plants.

    Not a kid but I always found mosses fascinating. More fascinating than dinosaurs. I am interested in learning more about lichens!

  • @Cadwaladr
    @Cadwaladr Před 7 lety

    I happened to meet a bunch of Spanish moss and lichen guys when I was in Chile, plus an English one and a couple of Danes. There are lots of good mosses and lichens around Tierra del Fuego. Dr Leopoldo Sancho from the Complutense Universidad de Madrid gave a little impromptu talk about them in the middle of the forest and it was the first time I'd ever listened to someone speak Spanish and understood every word they said.

    Using lichens for the plural is similar to how you can correctly use the term "deers" when speaking of multiple species of deer.

  • @AuroraLakes
    @AuroraLakes Před 2 lety

    Okay! Where to start... I grew up in the outdoors, those lichen are in the back drop that is the story of my life. So to stumble on this is a treat, but toads, frogs and pollywogs, were there too. So thank you for the education.
    Lmao... when she says Dad will just snack on a couple😆😅🤣🤣

  • @olavlomeland2183

    • @olavlomeland2183
      @olavlomeland2183 Před 7 lety +1

      I phrased it abit poorly, I meant that they have many identical facial features. To me least it looks like Hank Green (its the host right?) and his future self to the left.

  • @sugarfrosted2005
    @sugarfrosted2005 Před 7 lety +1

    Lichen follows the fish plural rule. When discussing varieties of lichen they are lichens, but otherwise the plural is lichen.

  • @the3wraithwarriors
    @the3wraithwarriors Před 6 lety +1

    How to lichen reproduce? What processes does a young lichen need to go through to become a fully grown lichen? Do they have any predators?

  • @tigrecito48
    @tigrecito48 Před 2 lety

    i want to know if lichen & mosses are parasitic or symbiotic with trees? do they gain water or nutrients from the trees? or just live on them & gain it from rain & their
    own detritus rotting to make a kind of soil on the bark? ive noticed small branches on many trees are dead & covered in lichen & mosses.. are they just growing more
    after the branch died of some other reason or did they cause the death of the branch by starving its leaves for water & nutrients?

  • @briang2238

  • @edcrichton9457
    @edcrichton9457 Před 7 lety

    In regards to lichen/lichens it could be like fish and fishes where one refers to a single species and the other refers to multiple species.

  • @gyrrakavian
    @gyrrakavian Před 7 lety

    Perhaps affix an 's' to the end of 'lichen' when referring to multiple types of lichen in the same sentence?

  • @shamahara
    @shamahara Před 7 lety +1

    Is it possible that lichen existed before trees developed the ability to produce resin that turns into amber, but just was't preserved due to lack of resin turning into amber?

    Awesome episode (avoiding the puns). It was interesting to see that Hank didn't know toads could be poisonous, but then, I live in Australia and every kid learn about cane toads and how they spray dogs and people and kill native wildlife.

    The first time I've ever been bit by a frog, it was by a baby pixie frog at a pet store. The employee was letting me pet it when they were going around feeding them all. The tiny little piggy must have thought I was food and got half my finger in its mouth. It actually hurt a little. Not bad, but I definitely wouldn't want to be bit again. Lol.

    @doggodoggo3000 Před 7 lety

    Fun fact about bull frogs. They are part of their own food chain. Like everywhere all the time. They literally eat anything that fits in their their mouth and is unfortunate enough to walk in front of them. She really sort of humanized that frog lol. They are more machine and reflex than anything.

    • @doggodoggo3000
      @doggodoggo3000 Před 7 lety

      As i was typing that comment she mentioned that they will eat their own offspring. But its even less romantic irl than she made it sound lol.

  • @boy638
    @boy638 Před 7 lety +2

    Can they stay dormant forever? And if so, are they technically still alive?

    • @Kram1032
      @Kram1032 Před 7 lety

      well, define "forever"
      Presumably eventually they'd just be so modified in dormant state without the ability to repair minor damage that they would cease being able to revive. But that could perhaps take thousands of years. In all likelihood in that time frame their habitat will have changed too much or some critter would have passed by and consumed them before they'd actually have reached this state of decay.
      But that's entirely a guess.

    @FusionDeveloper Před 7 lety

    Hank, look up Cane Toads (Marine Toads), they are the largest toad species and have the largest poison glands on their backs. Some day, I hope to have a female one as a pet. Male frogs and toads make noise and although you may not mind the noise or even love the noises, it can be annoying if they do it while you try to sleep and keep waking you up. They don't grow out of making noises.

  • @therabbithat
    @therabbithat Před 7 lety

    It's a countable noun with an irregular plural, like euro. 1 euro, 2 euro. 1 lichen, 2 lichen. It ends in "en" which is an anglo-saxon plural (like children) so it sounds odd to say lichens .

  • @demure4398
    @demure4398 Před 7 lety

    So lichen is like coral, both use symbiotic relationship to survive and both are single cell community.
