And it turns out, actually, that 42 percent is the Mola mola fish.

I made that up because I just wanted to put up a slide of the Mola mola fish.

The phyllaries (a bract under the flowerhead) has long spreading hairs.

The West Indian sandflies of the genus Culicoides (Diptera Ceratopogonidae).

The Mola's no exception.

So we thought, OK, this must be a spring the saddle could very well be a spring.

And that predator is the giant ocean sunfish, the Mola mola, whose primary prey are jellyfish.

Forms of Apomixis in the genus Allium L. In S.S. Khokhlov (Ed.

And it just so happens that's a parasite hanging off the Mola.

Molas are infamous for carrying tons of parasites.

And over in these places, the Molas are caught in set nets that line these countries.

I set up a website because I was getting so many questions about Molas and sunfish.

So, the saddles that saddle shaped spring has actually been well known to biologists for a long time, not as a spring but as a visual signal.

On a new genus of basal Neoceratopsian dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous of Gansu Province, China .

And I think it's kind of a nice little cosmological convergence here that the Mola mola its common name is sunfish that its favorite food is the moon jelly.

Their other name, Mola mola, is it sounds Hawaiian, but it's actually Latin for millstone, and that's attributable to their roundish, very bizarre, cut off shape.

And lots of generations, lots of tweaking and torquing, and we turn our puffer into the Mola.

And under those kelps this is why the Molas come there because it's spa time for the Molas there.

We were served a nine course meal of Mola after we tagged.

A spring is an elastic object used to store mechanical energy.

Rubber band a tension spring where energy is stored by stretching the material.

The poor little Molas coming in, getting ripped to shreds, so we head down south, to San Diego.

Two of the stones fall into the river, while the last falls into Mola Ram's hand, burning him.

Sharrock, Suzanne (2001) Diversity in the genus Musa , focus on Australimusa .

And that's actually what drew me to the Mola in the first place, was this terribly bizarre shape.

And then we did a series of calculations, and what we were able to show is that these mantis shrimp have to have a spring.

And all of these are the same principles that apply to the saddle shaped spring in stomatopods.

And again, that brings us back to the importance of that spring in storing up and releasing so much energy in this system.

Marine biologist Tierney Thys asks us to step into the water to visit the world of the i Mola mola i , or giant ocean sunfish. Basking, eating jellyfish and getting massages, this behemoth offers clues to life in the open sea.

But unfortunately Molas, even though they don't school, they still get caught in nets as by catch.

Indy catches the now cool stone, while Mola Ram falls into the river below, where he is devoured by crocodiles.

Suppose that the spring has reached a state of equilibrium, where its length is not changing anymore.

And the Molas there, you can find them with a spotter plane very easily, and they like to hang out under floating rafts of kelp.

While Mola Ram escapes, Indy and Shorty rescue Willie and retrieve the three Sankara stones, the village children escape.

And it's also a great place to go down south because the water's warmer, and the Molas are kind of friendly down there.

And this is quite interesting, to find evolutionary origins of visual signals on what's really, in all species, their spring.

History of the concept The order as a distinct rank of biological classification having its own distinctive name (and not just called a higher genus (genus summum)) was first introduced by the German botanist Augustus Quirinus Rivinus in his classification of plants that appeared in a series of treatises in the 1690s.

So the great thing about the Mola is that when we put the tag on them if you look up here that's streaming off, that's right where we put the tag.

And they come and give the Molas you can see they strike this funny little position that says, I'm not threatening, but I need a massage.

If we're going to save the world from total jellyfish domination, then we've got to figure out what the jellyfish predators how they live their lives, like the Mola.

This is part of a much larger program called the Census of Marine Life, where they're going to be tagging all over the world and the Mola's going to enter into that.

So, we've had very solid evidence showing that that saddle shaped structure actually compresses and extends, and does, in fact, function as a spring.
