'Tremors' Biology Explained | The Science of the Graboid

I believe there are actually two types of Graboids. The American Graboids, and the African Graboids.

I know that voice! Thought potato!!!!

I absolutely love these videos and can’t wait to see what’s next, but I think your forgot the newly hatched form known as the dirt dragon 👍

Hey, I would really enjoy seeing a video about the wildlife on skull island from Peter Kackson´s king Kong and subnautica

Great videos hopefully youll do more lesser know creatures like some of the sifi channel originals

Next thing we are going to get is a Biology of the Sailor Moon series, with Sailor Moon as a guest star😂 Yes I’m aware this is isn’t strictly Science fiction

I remember watching a video a long time ago that was kinda like this explaining graboids. But it was framed as like a REALLY old vhs like documentary.





Also what's the problem with the blaster's full name? Gotta problem with it?

Next do one on the biology of Godzilla minus one.

I dont like the Ai generated stuff in these vids :(

What about the african and arctic subspecies? I honestly believe they are two different species but the arctic n african are more related then the american one

Interesting and entertaining concepts. I cant wait for you to find the Dimensions of the NOPE creature, the Thing, Xenomorphs, Critters, maybe even the Mist. Give Roanoke Gaming a run for his money : > Competition is good for the viewers

These videos I are very well made, I think this will be the start to a great channel!

You should do the xenomorph.

I believe these creatures are designed as primordial evolutionary offshoot of enormous prehistoric insects (replacing chitin and exoskeletal features for musculature) with seperate steps of metamorphosis, allowed to specialize after eons or lacking predators and withstanding natural disasters.

welll if you cretures in video game unverse mabye minecaft

one place ive got is 4546b or subnactua is a planet with bizzare oceoan lfie

What a delightful channel

👍. Love these Films. Great Video

I love your style and channel!!! Tremors was so cool!

Do the bugs from starship troopers

So the 'traditional' graboids are hatched from eggs dug out of deep underground mining/oil drilling from Cambrian layers, so earth was mostly a single continent. The African version appears often enough that they are embedded in local mythology as a reoccurring threat, so likely the African ones started out the same but unlike the ones dug up have had time to evolve. With their relatively short life cycle they could evolve relatively quickly. The food explanation makes a lot of sense of the first attack timeline. The hyper-aggressive assaults on the human population didn't start until almost a day after the sheep farm was emptied. This is also partially that the first several recorded graboid events occurred in a valley that had no exit for the Graboids, they were trapped there. Normally I imagine part of the Blaster evolution was to spread the eggs to new territory so the graboids wouldn't over hunt an area. The graboid mutants are also explained by its lifecycle. The shriekers are very stupid and will attempt to eat anything mildly warm. In the past that wasn't a problem but in modern day they ingest a lot of carcinogens, so the shrieker embryos come out with mutations, often cancer but there are so many of them a survivable idea makes it through now and then. Then there is EL Blanco, while not technically canon anymore, this albino Graboid, is effectively immortal, he isn't developing shriekers internally. And his genome was analyzed, he doesn't have tellomeres, so he doesn't really get old. He doesn't get any bigger (though he's already the largest graboid) and has a very set patrol pattern. He isn't as relentlessly aggressive as his metabolism is in a dormant phase most of the time. Without the developing shriekers inside his feeding habits are on par with a pride of lions, they put a sheep or cow out for him every couple of weeks, he eats the occasional stupid tourist, and sometimes they feed him the problem of the week.

I love graboids so the theory that they're going extinct due to their excessive metabolism kinda makes me sad. Even though they are dangerous fictional creatures

Here’s how you can fly just like a blaster! #1 eat Taco Bell #2 put on some hang gliders, and that’s how you fly like a blaster!😂

Let manta say *** 😂

I know thats you you gods damn potato

Please do a video on the creatures with the cordyceps fungus from the last of us 🙏

is there going to be a second video about the dirt dragons/shooters/grablites and the african, artic and oceanic/geneticaly mutated subspecies?

I would like to suggest that the transition between the Shrieker and Blaster stages is triggered via a form of quorum sensing. When the population of Shriekers in an area grows too large to be sustainable, say when they can no longer find enough food to reproduce within a given time period, triggering the change.

Hi SciFi Safari!
Great to meet you here, too. Would you consider a proposition for a further destination? Due to the greater mobility provided by your scientific spaceship, would travel to the sands of Arrakis to meet a similar complex life-form? Of course, I'm talking about the Sandworms, which are the most known stage of a lifecycle that allows the planet Dune to sustain allochthonous life. With all of its features and various stages, it could take more than one time to explore it in depth, but I'd be really interested to hear you talk about it. As well as its property to cohabit symbiotically with a well-prepared human-host.
My best regards to You!

I want to offer a correction: one of the movies (or the show, I can’t remember off the top of my head) refers to graboids as “Large Scale Desert Reptilians”. I think they DO have skeletons. (I’m a major Tremors fans so I’ve thought about all this stuff a LOT)

Tremors what a great not so old film, it still holds up as a must watch today.
Part 2 was a big cluster F@ck in my opinion the stupid introduction of its evolution into those A$$blasters almost ruined everything.

What if they're cephalopods? The head is an enlarged modified beak, the graspers are modified tentacles, and the semirigid cuttlebone being what it is.

Think this. Graboids ate dinosaurs.

I think the tongues that the graboids have are like the arms of an octopus, in that they have a mind of their own to a degree.

well f me this is awsome. also head cannon they might not be from earth

I claim the graboid is not a cephalopod or any mollusk. They are closer to sea cucumbers and enchinoderms.

a s s b l a s t e r

Caideras seems closer to cartiligenous fish than any other major lineage

Deberias hacer un video sobre la isla calavera de King Kong del 2005

shai hulud next...

Im gonna not be so in shock if we found a real graboid because we have found GIANT earth worms maybe the giant earth worms Evolution to a freaking graboid

aww this initial version of MANTA is so cute! i do like the new eyes but this was good too

Honestly, I wish them called them Blasters instead, I always thought the real name was dumb.

Seriously, the blaster looks more like the dult form than the graboid

I would love you to do the science of fallout

Wait so at what point does it turn into a big worm

ASS BLASTER!!!

I have a theory about Burt he is immortal and cannot age until he got eaten by the albino graboid

Their numbers are dwindling worldwide and it's mostly due to a single man.
