On land, animals leave footprints that tell us a lot about their size, form and capabilities. Marine organisms do this too, but these footprints are harder to see since water is translucent. Bioengineer Kakani Katija explains how she uses dyes, lasers and more to make them visible, so that she and her intrepid collaborators can understand more about how sea organisms move.

First off, god dAMN shes so frigeen beautiful. Id love to sit down and hear her talk about this for DAYS
that said, as interesting as a topic like this might be and how cool it is that people are looking into this, i simply dont see the point. I watched the whole thing expecting her to be like oh ya, also we discovered this amazing thing that will revolutionize your life but in the end it seems her entire point was this is what we are doing, maybe someone will get inspired to create a new app based on it.
sure, im being facetious. but i dont see why this research even needs to be done. With footprints on land, you can hunt, track, avoid danger. we have far superior technology to help us with the water. Perhaps in the future, our water-based radar will include ways to track/monitor using these ideas? that'd be something quite useful. you would be able to figure out what creature is what based on its 'footprint'. though, speed and direction is already possible. (perhaps species too if its big enough.
who knows?
shes still smoking hot. DAM!

I absolutely love the way she broke everything down!
I would love to see/hear more about other environments and their organisms from Ted-Ed such as: The tundra, Antarctic, desert, jungle.
I simply love to hear someone who is in love with what they do! For me, at least, it makes it more engaging.
And cause there should be more talks on the organisms that surround us. And I love learning.
Knowledge for life!

Kakani katija, I too someday hope that someone will invent an jellyfish or siphonophore-like contraction that would be used for performing special marine tasks. But for now, we, humans, still have a lot to learn from these amazing marine organisms because everyone of these organisms has there secrets.

The japanese have already built fish robot years ago. I cannot see how her work is new or something. Biologists surely have used coloured substance in studying the movement of sea creatures.

What exactly is mixing in the context of marine science? Also, holy SHIT, they did that in the dark! How does one even begin to identify organisms in total darkness? Kudos.

I've always thought about using these techniques, its awesome to see it in action
nature is much mroe beautiful and complex than narcissistic humans.

95% of the worlds ocean is unexplored, who knows what could be out there. Myths could come true, treasure being founded, and ancient things.

Amazing! I live in Monterey and knowing that they are doing this is so cool. If you ever visit Monterey Bay definitely check out the aquarium!
