The Snail.

This is a Dionaea, a Venus fly trap hunting snails sorry for the snail.

The snail retreated into its shell.

A snail's shell is spiral in form.

The snail drew in its feelers.

We would rather eat snails tomorrow.

Snails have been eating our lettuces.

I cannot overcome my repugnance to eating snails.

The snail draws in its feelers.

Now, the other type of mantis shrimp is the smasher stomatopod, and these guys open up snails for a living.

By the way, if you are a boy, it's snails if you're a girl, it's butterflies because what we found was that girls hate snails.

You're helping him discover the garden by just pointing out these snails.

He wiggles it in place, tugs it with his nose, and smash.

Scorpions follow prey out of the sea. Slugs became snails.

I ate snails, vultures, rabbits, snakes, and anything that had life.

And that thing's going to swing around and smash the snail.

And a few smashes later, the snail is broken open, and he's got a good dinner.

And so this guy gets the snail all set up and gives it a good whack.

One point three million eggs per square meter inside the marine reserve where these snails are very abundant.

I hope there aren't any snail rights activists around here.

These are egg cases laid by a snail off the coast of Chile, and this is how many eggs they lay on the bottom.

And before I finish, I would like to reassure that no snails were harmed in making this presentation.

Because obviously, if it's breaking snails, the poor limb must be disintegrating. And indeed it does.

You can see it coming in, and an incredible flash of light, and all this cavitation spreading over the surface of the snail.

Female Voice Squashing a snail may not seem important, but remember, even this choice will affect how Milo develops.

And he has decided to treat them as if they were trilobites, or snails, and to do a morphological analysis, and try to derive their genealogical history over time.

And the snail's wired to a stick, so he's a little bit easier to set up the shot. And yeah.

Moreover, the assistance winds its way to the recipient country at a snail's pace, and through labyrinthine procedures, which evince a certain parsimony, and even cruelty.

So the next and final question was, well, how much force does a mantis shrimp produce if they're able to break open snails?

So this is a potent force in fluid systems, and just to sort of take it one step further, I'm going to show you the mantis shrimp approaching the snail.

I was doing a pathetically slow speed of about 1.3 knots, and they were doing only marginally less pathetic speed of about 1.4 it was like two snails in a mating dance.

It's surgically placed inside the inner ear.

And it was looking good for a while, but I left it outside, because you had to leave it outside to dry, and unfortunately I came back and there were snails eating the unhydrolyzed bits of potato.

And this is really unheard of stuff, and this is all because of this technology.

Cochlear implant users cannot tell the difference between these instruments.

And there's no way that you can't look at that as an overwhelming success.

But here is that same girl who is implanted now.

Most cochlear implant users cannot tell the difference between an instrument.

He's deaf, and he learned to play the piano after he received the cochlear implant.

Milk, milk, milk, milk, milk not milk.

Girl I just take off my CI, and I don't hear anything.

And now today we have the modern multi channel cochlear implant, which is an outpatient procedure.

And in the end, you achieve something like this where an electrode array is inserted inside the cochlea.

We would be thrilled if we had one semitone pitch perception in cochlear implant users.

When I was 12 years old, I was one of the first few people in Singapore who underwent cochlear implantation.
