The Physics of How Fish Eat, in Slow Motion!

[PhysicsDude]

For you science nerds out there:

There is a cool youtube channel called "Smarter Everyday" where a mechanical engineer takes slow motion videos of everyday things (birds flying, helicopters, bugs, etc) and investigates the physics of these types of everyday things which you've probably never thought about!

His 2 most recent videos explore how "suction feeder" or "ram feeders" eat, toothless fish like bass, catfish, etc.

[ehh]

That second one is very cool. I slow motion capture of a leaf fish eating would be awesome.
