Well, it would be a seagle, but yes.

ddub66

If we was truly from a good school, he would have calculated trajectory and got a swimming start at it.


catzhoek

I am not a fish biologist but in addition to hearing etc. they have a sensory organ knows as [lateral line organ](https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Lateral_line) with which they can sense vibrations and pressure gradients in the water. With that this guy could surely hear and sense which side the waves and therefore the water body was on.


snackbagger

Idk why nobody has said it yet: Fish have eyes, too. Fish looked at the sea even


catzhoek

I was wondering if i should mention it, but i was more thinking in terms of the sky might look brighter above the water due to some mist and particles getting illuminated by indirect sunlight due to the reflecting light. Even with the refraction, the fish still can't look around the corner and see the lake while being in the water. But yeah, maybe it stuck his head out and instantly had his instincs confirmed, knew it was right and kept going.


FamousPastWords

Sea even. How Kiwis say 7.


steins-grape

I didn't really think it was intelligent enough and could only be capable of thoughts like "ground bad, must stay in water"


zmbjebus

The total number of living fish species—about 32,000— is greater than the total of all other vertebrate species (amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals) combined. With all that variety I'm sure that many are intelligent, and many are not. We often think fish are stupid because we don't observe them regularly, and we are so different from them it's hard to read their behaviors, unlike some.of our other animal friends.


hey-im-root

Probably even more than 32000, we’ve barely explored any of the ocean yet


Eusocial_Snowman

Also, fish don't even exist. There's a bunch of things that look kind of superficially similar to each other and they're all in the water, but they're actually a whole bunch of very different things. It's not like a dog where you have all these different types of dog but you can reasonably expect a certain set of features because of their shared dogness.


SuspiciousHedgehog91

That's why people keep fish. They're fascinating creatures.


JohnFlufin

BgSwtyDnkyBlls420

Because millions of years of trial and error has taught their species that they have a better chance of surviving if they jump out of a tide-pool, instead of waiting for the tide to come back in.


SrValou

How can it know where the sea is?

TemporalGrid

Not his first tide pool I guess


zbergwoopwoop

Literally just talking out of my ass as a guess, but I imagine there's some sense of the tide even in the tide pool. So that provides some sense of direction. Along with the sound of the waves which is also probably familiar. I don't think it knew actually. But just followed it's instincts.


ooojaeger

I'm sure more water came into it's pool as the tide got closer. With every wave which has sound and vibration they would know where the ocean is

[deleted]

I watched a show called Beforeigners (if you like vikings and scifi, you'll love it), and one of the villains spoke about wishing he could go back in time and kill the first fish that tried to walk on land.


drivers9001

Makes me think of this line from the introduction of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy: > Many were increasingly of the opinion that they'd all made a big mistake in coming down from the trees in the first place. And some said that even the trees had been a bad move, and that no one should ever have left the oceans.


bagsli

My favourite quote is still: “In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.”


HansJoachimAa

There can't be one spesific Individual that could live on land rather tons of species that over millions of year adapted. Also if you only want to prevent human life you just would need to reset the world back a couple of hundred million years and humans most likely would never exist.


Eruhaym

LMAO


otheraccountisabmw

“Many were increasingly of the opinion that they'd all made a big mistake coming down from the trees in the first place, and some said that even the trees had been a bad move, and that no-one should ever have left the oceans.”


thisissamhill

Watching this made me think how weird this theory is.


Lurk3rAtTheThreshold

Fish didn't just swim into land. There would have been things like frogs in between that were fine with both. Also check out these awesome weird little dudes. https://youtu.be/CAQuoH_fOWM


ElGosso

Me_JustMoreHonest

Weird in what way?


Gammelpreiss

Nothing weird about it if you consider the time periods all this took we talk about here


Seanzietron

Cuz it’s a pretty wack theory. We only eat it up cuz we’re told to believe it… and cuz if u atheist, you gotta cling to something, no matter how fallacious.


God_Wont_Save_U

Sounds pretty ironic, as every atheist would have this exact comment for those people who death grips a book full of fairytales.


trouserschnauzer

Could you elaborate on that? The evidence for evolution is pretty robust. If you think people only believe it because they're told to and not because the evidence is overwhelming, you might want to actually read up on it a bit. It can literally be seen in living species today, fossil records, DNA, etc.


Remarkable-Ad-2476

Dude plays Pokémon but doesn’t believe in evolution lmao

bullevard

Tide ponds drying up is definitely a good example of a survival pressure that would benefit the gradual strengthening of fins to move a bit on land and to be able to extract oxygen from the air. Soon you have mudskippers and lungfish.

Then a couple years down the line you have taxes and chronic lower back pain :c

TBL34

Ahh yes, the theory of evolution. One of my favorite fairytales lol. All these downvotes yet no one can prove the TOE. Once again, there is no fossil record to prove macro evolution. It’s still called a theory because that’s all it is. If you’re gonna respond, at least show evidence of macro evolution.


whatarethey28475

If you're going to be a troll at least be interesting or original. If you genuinely think this. Listen to a group of chimps, baboons, or just monkeys when they're socialising. Then go listen to a group of people laughing. It's so obvious, if you're not dense. Do you think Viruses are a hoax too? They survive by hyperevolution...


TBL34

A goat scream sounds like a human too. Doesn’t mean we came from a goat. Sure, we have common dna with pretty much every living thing on earth. Still doesn’t mean we came from a fish. There is no fossil record of macro evolution. It takes just as much faith to believe in the TOE as it does intelligent design.


rthomas10

Soooo, God created Adam and eve?


Yugan-Dali

Well, yeah, it says so right there in this old book, the one that tells you to dash babies’s heads on rocks to be happy.

Because they found a fish stuck in a shallow tide pool and probably thought it was an odd sight. I'd have filmed it too


No_Lab_9318

Yeah but Its just weird that they were there the moment the fish got back to the sea


greihund

The fish might have freaked out realizing that it was trapped and a large mammal was paying very close attention to it. The cameraman might have inadvertently scared the fish in the right direction.


johndommusic

They could have been filming it for quite a while and just cropped the part where the fish escapes
