Wow.
Chris Ma.
Chris, could you
tell us about this party of sea

2
00:00:07.683 --> 00:00:12.243
urchins?
It's like some Victorian hat party, you know?

3
00:00:12.243 --> 00:00:17.023
I mean, there're just like
all of these bao-shaped sea

4
00:00:17.023 --> 00:00:19.783
urchins and they're walking
around the bottom of the seafloor

5
00:00:19.783 --> 00:00:26.623
fwith with these little
Sargassum hats. A lot of them

6
00:00:26.623 --> 00:00:30.263
aggregate like this and this
optimizes, you know, when they,

7
00:00:30.263 --> 00:00:33.823
when they reproduce, all of
their gametes are emitted at a

8
00:00:33.823 --> 00:00:37.903
certain time of the year. I
just kind of wonder if maybe

9
00:00:37.903 --> 00:00:43.843
there's some kind of pattern to
the tracks. But there's very,

10
00:00:43.843 --> 00:00:48.283
surprisingly, very few images or
video of these that the

11
00:00:48.283 --> 00:00:54.363
the public has seen, including
myself. I mean, there is just

12
00:00:54.363 --> 00:00:59.283
so much about this that is
magic.
