00:01We have a creature who puts the motion in the ocean.
00:05It's the anemone.
00:09Because they're found stuck to rocks or on reefs,
00:12you'd be forgiven for thinking that these guys are plants.
00:16But anemones, like corals and jellyfish,
00:19come from a family of animals called the cnidarians,
00:22all of which incredibly have no recognised brain.
00:27But because they are animals, they can move.
00:31And what holds them onto their rock is a strong, muscular foot.
00:38Yes, you heard me right. Anemones have feet.
00:42In fact, there's a lot more to anemone anatomy
00:45than just swaying tentacles.
00:47Underneath is a cylindrical body with a mouth at the top
00:51and a foot at the bottom.
00:53The anemone can hold tight to its surroundings
00:56using both the strength of the muscular foot
00:58and the sticky substance secreted from it.
01:02They tend to stay put if they've found a spot
01:05with all the resources they need.
01:07But if conditions change,
01:09they're willing to leave it all behind.
01:12The end of the time is so I'll show up.
01:13So I'll show you later.
01:14Time to get there all the skills.
01:15You guys come back.
01:16Oh, you're welcome.
01:17I'm sure you've got a friend.
01:18I would go toёл your hands.
01:19I'd love this.
01:20Yeah.
01:21But until then,
01:23we'll be back in a loop,
01:25our next week for the free,
01:26we're going to be working in place.
01:27And I'll show you what's going to stay
01:28some more at the same time.
01:30You're like the way,
01:32we're going to start this year.
