After many recent videos designed to scare the pants off viewers, Kurzgezagt finally gives us a lighthearted yet interesting video with a look at the sunfish. How dumb can this fish be, compared to other fish in the sea? It's a pretty low bar, so it really doesn't matter, but gives them a great excuse to use all the stupidity jokes they have without hurting someone's feelings. The story of the sunfish is really about the many ways it differs from other fish in its bizarre adaptations in filling a unique niche in the ecosystem.
The sunfish took a left turn in the development of their biology. They do all the fish things -eat, reproduce, and avoid predators- the hard way. But somehow it works for them, which is why they've been around for so long. Who are we to argue with Mother Nature? This video is 8:45; the rest is advertising. -via Laughing Squid
