| Video Discription | Stick urchin up—and turn the sound on! A sea urchin’s mouth is home to Aristotle’s lantern, a wonderful feeding apparatus complete with a complex set of jaws and five self-sharpening teeth. Food is brought to the urchin’s mouth and manipulated into position by rows of flexible tube feet. The teeth then chop food into manageable bits, while frilly gills provide extra oxygen to power the feeding frenzy. Sea urchin jaws are a force to be reckoned with. Not only can they strip a kelp forest bare if left unchecked, but these constantly replenishing Exacto blades can carve away custom-fitted nooks into rocky reefs—and our exhibit walls! When paired with a longevity of over 100 years, urchin density in dentistry puts perpetual pressure on delicate diversity. But with a host of predators ready to tackle a spiny supper—from sea otters to wolf eels and spiny lobsters—urchins and their voracious appetites are part and parcel of the politics of kelp forest productivity. (Timelapse alert: each second of this video represents five minutes in the life of this sea urchin.) ____ Hey there! Hope you liked this video.
