These Lizards Have Been Playing Rock-Paper-Scissors for 15 Million Years | Deep Look

Good grief, I love lizards.

You still reading every single comment?

ನಾವು ಇದಕ್ಕೆ ಓತಿಕ್ಯಾತ ಅಂತ ಕರಿತೀವಿ ಮೇಡಂ ಭಾರತದ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕದಲ್ಲಿ.

Very interesting. And they look so very cute! 😍

So the orange ones are Leos, the yellow ones are Scorpios, and the blue ones are... Pisces?

How is no one talking about that GORGEOUS LICHEN. the colours are incredible!!

Blue one is green flag

Real

Man I wonder why so many polygamous societies were also very warlike. Especially in Europe.

cute reptilians

Its like real life pokemon type matchups

Same old story ladies will always fall for the Casanovas 😂 I stick with the blue one 😊

females: I want a nice guy
nice guy: I'm here
females: *filtered

Blue = Atreides
Orange = Harkonnen
Yellow = Ordos

Too weird to live, too rare to not procreate.

I'm a blue fr 😅

I love when a video is done about where I live .. I see mostly blue ones I live in the Fresno area

The blue is the real G.

Blues are sigma males

If they were human the yellow would’ve won a while ago

I need me a blue boy

Orange: The Jock
Yellow: The Player
Blue: The Nice Guy

I tried explaining to my wife that I am an orange lizard, but she said she would cut off something of mine which is important.

If the blue lizards all have the same y chromosome, or are otherwise closely related, then it makes perfect sense that they would help each other. From a genetic perspective, it makes no difference to evolution which of 2 genetically identical males mate with the female. Also, I think it might happen just according to game theory. The blues don't compete for mates, so, if their "altruism" is reciprocated, they all benefit. There is no chance in this case that they could be cheated, because the moral strategies of the other lizards are visible on their necks. I think human society would be very different if our instinctive moral inclinations were visible on our skin. It's too bad that they're not.

Zachary Quinto needs to see this. We must have rock-paper-scissors lizard Spock.

Sounds like human society to me!

So to sum up
-Oranges are the toxic mofos
-Yellows are the sneaky fuckboys
-Blues are the loyal and caring homies

And yet still, females won't check for security or caring, but for rarity...

Yeah, it sounds a LOT like humankind

Woooow this is absolutely amazing. Herpetology is my favorite. These lil guys are awesome. Such a crazy little life.

loyal, emotional and kind
hunk and playful
NTR
the lizard ladies have tastes

why do the females choose the more rare morph?

This is really interesting-- but imagine a species with all 3 colours?

Not so different huh

Lol imagine people played "rock, paper, scissors" Like this 🤣

“Even Darwin didn’t think it would happen“

*Nicole watches in disbelief* *Gumball makes a move on Penny*

Funny and cute, yet really educational and informative. It makes me wonder what interesting little thing could be going on with my own boring little brown mountain lizards.

Wow even lizard are racist

In The Gambia we have lizards that have blue bodies and yellow heads

I had a side blotched lizard and it was blue team and I got him from the wild in April 1 and he died on may 4 his name was Oscar

Hey Deep Look,
I know who wins this genetic roshambo.
The blues die out first because of their altruism.
Removing the blues from the equation, the yellows beat the oranges because they can't keep track of all the females.
The yellows win.

Is me or do i think you can hold three of those things different colour and play rock paper scissorces

1. i love the pushups. keeping them legs/arms strong
2. i bet the females are just keeping all the colors equal to watch the chaos

you're telling me that the only reason 3 guys are locked into stalemate is because the girls only want what's not easily available? say it ain't so

I wonder what’d happen if you isolated a population. For example, what if you took some blues along with some females, and put them in a different situation? Would they start to become even more cooperative?

The blue lizards honestly seem to behave a lot like humans to me.

i wonder if deep look replies to comments? lauren is my favorite narrator lol.

lol

My FAVORITE set of starters

This episode is something else.

orange is like rock, yellow is like paper, and blue is like scissors

Why they move like in 15 fps?
