A male and a female fish will mate and have babies. Mike Melchur wants to know, do fish sleep? They do. You sometimes parrotfishle. Kind of you'll see them on the bottom at night. Just nice and cozy and just lovely. I wonder if they dream. Some big big fishes don't go down to the bottom to sleep. But they'll just, you know, they'll doze off a little bit at a time. They'll sleep in little bursts. Yeah. I bet they have so many shark nightmares. Do you ever have to talk people down from shark phobias? Sometimes,. but most people are pretty reasonable about it.
ALL. ABOUT. FISH. Hilariously charming fish expert and LA County Natural History Museum Curator of Ichthyology, Dr. Christine Thacker, sits down with Alie in a basement full of several million jars of fish to chat about the worst fish husbands, the weirdest mating behaviors, the scariest fish, the nicest fish, the tiniest fish, how they breathe, how you can help reverse global warming, and whether you should pee in wetsuits. I love her so much and so will you.
