THESE ANIMALS WATCHED THE DINOSAURS. THEY SURVIVED 5 MASS EXTINCTIONS.

Описание: Five mass extinctions. Asteroids. Ice ages. The complete restructuring of continents and oceans. And these animals survived all of it not by adapting, but by being so perfectly built that they never needed to.
In this video we go through six animals that by every right should no longer exist the horseshoe crab, the coelacanth, the tuatara, the goblin shark, the tardigrade, and the nautilus. What makes them extraordinary, how old they actually are, and what their survival tells us about life on this planet.
This is one of the most fascinating corners of the natural world and most people have never heard of half these animals.
