1
Those aren't cornflakes.
2
This rock is absolutely covered with tiny marine flatworms called acyles.
3
They're not just an animal.
4
They're also kind of a plant.
5
And they're practically immortal.
6
They use simple eyes called ocelli to seek out the sunniest spots on tropical coral reefs,
7
where they spread themselves out like beach blankets.
8
But they don't just lay around sunbathing all day.
9
Aseals are also skilled hunters.
10
They catch prey by engulfing them with their body and jamming them into their mouth.
11
You can see their meal trying in vain to escape.
12
Also, they don't have a butt.
13
Their poop just goes right back out through their mouth.
14
So you wouldn't want to kiss one.
15
They aren't just hunters.
16
These acyls are gardeners, too.
17
See those green dots?
18
Those are algae.
19
And those reddish cells belong to the acyl itself.
20
When the sun hits our flatworm friend, the algae inside produce sugars through photosynthesis.
21
This is a waste.
22
Researchers think they share those sugars with their host.
23
In return, the acyl provides its, um, waste, which is kind of like fertilizer for the algae.
24
And the acyl protects its houseguests.
25
Researchers think the acyls pack toxic chemicals in those reddish cells.
26
So predators tend to leave them alone.
27
Without its algae, the acyl would eventually die, even if it had plenty of prey to eat.
28
Scientists call a creature like this a Holobiant — a single being made up of two or more completely different species.
29
In this case, a solar -powered predator.
30
But that's not even the weirdest thing about them.
31
Researchers at Stanford University and the University of San Francisco are studying A -seals because of how they regenerate.
32
And to do that?
33
It'll be okay.
34
I promise.
35
You'd think getting cut in half would be a bad thing.
36
But within minutes, the wounded front half seals up.
37
In a couple days, it'll have a whole new tail. And the backside?
38
It doesn't just make a new head.
39
It makes two!
40
But it's hard to share one body with two heads.
41
So each half eventually pulls away from the other.
42
Where there was once one acyl, now there are three.
43
What seemed like a moment of doom was actually one of rebirth.
44
But they don't need the researcher's scalpel.
45
Aseals can drop their tail and clone themselves on their own.
46
The Aseal and its algae can multiply themselves like this over and over, indefinitely, making them functionally immortal.
47
Aseals can do this because they're packed with stem cells, which morph into any body part the Aseal needs to regrow.
48
And since they can't hunt until they grow new heads, they're extra reliant on the energy they get from their algae.
49
In these desperate times, the acyls even eat some of their algae.
50
Sorry.
51
Every relationship has its challenges.
52
But the acyl and its algae have a deal.
53
By taking advantage of each one's abilities, they're greater than the sum of their parts.
54
Hey, it's Laura.
55
Guess who else could be considered a holobiant?
56
You.
57
You've got a whole zoo of bacteria and other living things inside your gut that are vital to a healthy immune system, digestion, and even mood.
58

59
Deep Look healthy, support our show on Patreon.

Pronúncia para ficar de olho

O falante usa 20 contrações e formas reduzidas, como they're, don't, aren't. Diga-as na forma curta, do jeito que você ouve.

  • Os sons de “th”: photosynthesis /ˌfoʊ.toʊˈsɪn.θə.sɪs/, rebirth /ɹiːˈbɜːθ/, sunbathe /ˈsʌnbeɪð/
  • Palavras longas — acerte a sílaba tônica: practically /ˈpɹæk.tɪ.k(ə.)li/, indefinitely /ɪnˈdɛfɪnɪtli/, photosynthesis /ˌfoʊ.toʊˈsɪn.θə.sɪs/, regenerate /ɹiːˈd͡ʒɛnəɹeɪt/

Sons difíceis para falantes de português:

  • Consoante final — sem acrescentar um “i” depois: mood /muːd/, desperate /ˈdɛs.p(ə.)ɹɪt/, butt /bʌt/, toxic /ˈtɒk.sɪk/, wound /ˈwund/
  • /l/ final — a língua toca o céu da boca, não vira “u”: tail /ˈteɪ̯l/, seal /siːl/, immortal /ɪˈmɔɹtəl/, meal /ˈmiːl/, skill /skɪl/
  • /h/ — um sopro suave, diferente do “r”: hunter /ˈhʌntɚ/, houseguest /ˈhaʊsˌɡɛst/

Como praticar com este vídeo

  1. Ouça o vídeo inteiro uma vez sem falar e anote as palavras que você não conhece.
  2. Faça shadowing frase por frase na velocidade normal, repetindo cada uma até o seu ritmo ficar igual ao do falante.
  3. Grave a sua voz e compare com o original, prestando atenção a palavras como researcher, hunter, tail.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
