Release The Brood! Roly-poly Birthing Is Intense

Про це відео

Roly polies aren’t insects — they’re crustaceans, and they have more in common with kangaroos than you might think. These land-dwelling isopods carry their eggs in a fluid-filled pouch on their underside, giving their young a tiny ocean to develop in until they’re ready to face the world. In this episode of Deep Look, we take a close look at how roly poly moms protect their eggs, nurture their babies, and pull off one of nature’s most surprising examples of convergent evolution. 👉 Donate to KQED, the public media station that makes Deep Look: https://donate.kqed.org/deeplook SIGN UP for Deep Look’s newsletter, Nature Unseen: https://bit.ly/NatureUnseenSignUp SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@KQEDDeepLook?sub_confirmation=1 ---+ Find a transcript on KQED Science: https://www.kqed.org/science/2000948/release-the-brood-roly-poly-birthing-is-intense ---+ More great Deep Look episodes: Spotted Lanternflies are The Ultimate Party Crashers https://youtu.be/IGtbHRPcSe8 Can You Spot These Insane Camouflaged Animals? https://youtu.be/Gpvc5ZX5B08 We Made The Stuff That Makes Fireflies Glow In A Lab https://youtu.be/fbuJSmpxiNY ---+ Thank you to our top Patreon supporters ($10+ per month)!
