It's not bat-esian mimicry, bait-zian like "bait's Ian to punch him as the principle walks past." I'm sure there's a scientist to back that up and with a quick google search I have the answer 10 seconds later. "It is named after the English naturalist Henry Walter Bates, after his work on butterflies in the rainforests of Brazil." Do you purposely mess up 2-5 word pronunciations per episode to drive up engagement or do you really not know? If you don't know then it would strike me as an odd job choice for you.
@evilcanofdrpepper Pronunciation is the least important consideration in anything! It varies from place to place and person to person. As long as spelling, usage and definition are accurate, pronunciation hardly matters. While researching for this video I found sources for both ways of pronouncing Batesian, and of course know of the work of Henry Walter Bates as I’ve researched his findings extensively. Put aside your hang-ups about which pronunciation is accurate and try not to nit-pick.

Some of the most interesting marine reptiles to me are the extinct Palaeophids. This was a group of sea snakes more related to Phytons (living sea snakes are venomous and more related to cobras). Some of them could've reached sizes of 10 to 12 m. Today one of the most famous Cryptids are the so called "Sea serpents", but back in the Early Cenozoic, they were real 🤯
Never heard about this one so I looked it up! Here’s the wiki link: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palaeophis. Very interesting species and especially since fossils have been found in my home country (it’s quite rare to find anything from back then as we are a pretty flat country and thus we were entirely submerged).
This man is the next David Attenborough. A calming and welcoming voice, while so knowledgeable about the subjects at hand. Honestly it’s quite wonderful to see. Keep up the great work! Edit: Y’all I commented this 5 months ago at current time. I don’t care if you like or don’t like Leo or David. I like Leo. I think he’s great for what he is and trying to do. If you don’t have something nice to say don’t say it. Think about the people on the other side of the comment. And stop replying to something so old. It’s weird.
I was just wondering if he’d heard from Attenborough yet. I’m sure he’d be interested if this channel came to his attention. He really is a very gifted writer and narrator. He really draws you into the subject.
@jztouch I wrote to him twice when I was very young (about 8 or 9 years old) and told him about my channel, which was very different at the time as I was so young. Both times, he wrote back! With a signed photo! He truly is an incredible man :)
Ever since Subnautica and Abzû came out, I’ve been fascinated with the ocean and it’s creatures. Not only are your videos engaging and educational, but your voice is so calming that once I’m done learning, I’m also putting on playlists of them to relax and fall asleep. It’s wonderful.
Thank you so much Mike!! Those are my two favourite games, they perfectly capture the wonder and mystery of the oceans. I’m so glad you enjoy my videos, it’s so wonderful to know they can be used for both education and relaxation.
Did not know some sea snakes can absorb O² through their bodies underwater absolutely fascinating. As for salt water crocodiles they may look slow and cumbersome on land but I can attest they can sprint very fast for short periods of time, I live surrounded by crocodiles in NT, Australia only ever seen the one run but it definitely taught me not to be complacent. Usually though crocodiles are very lazy especially during the day they do their hunting in the mornings and afternoons, if you are ever camping near crocodile waters make sure never to go to the water at the same times, or in the same area, move further down the banks. It seems crazy but crocodiles watch and wait for creatures that go to the same place around the same time as they are ambush hunters. In comparison to my friend who worked with crocodiles capturing, rehabilitating and even working as a handler at the parks, my knowledge is very limited, but I can definitely say they are smarter than most think, they are always watching and always learning. Leo, another amazing video, it's absolutely refreshing after years of watching high budget documentaries that teach me absolutely nothing except that X location is beautiful in HD and here's some pretty animal pictures to finally watch documentaries where I am learning something new again. I don't know how but we need to get you some of that NETFLIX money 😂 I would be happy if you changed nothing and just kept the money for yourself because this alone is worthy of top tier. Stay safe, happy, and healthy
Thanks for the insightful comment! I’ve never had the privilege to encounter a wild crocodile for myself, but they sound incredibly imposing. Definitely one of nature’s most impressive animals. Thanks for the kind words, I’m so glad you’re enjoying my videos as they’re a joy to create! Comments like this make it all so worthwhile :)
It seems that American alligators also share a similar level of intelligence. Snake Discovery rescued one, Rex, several years ago who was kept as a pet from babyhood. She is now 35ish, stunted at 5ft long and has retained her baby colouration. Rex is trained to specific words, people and target trained for food. At first they had to keep her in their home - rescued from a 4 ft box (she was 4ft at the time) to having a decent sized bedroom with as big a pool as they could get in there. She grew over a fit despite her age! They've opened up a zoo/education facility and Rex finally has a good sized pool to stretch out in. She watches the visitors and learns patterns, and refuses to play with toys on camera! Much like some cats, they don't want to be seen hunting even if it's the humans who feed them Tho she does follow Emily as she moves around the zoo and comes over to be closer. Probably in hopes of food but it's still cute to human eyes
Since during the Cretaceous giant marine turtles such as the famous 4 m long Archelon were widespread around the world, imagine if they too migrated in large numbers and went all at the same time on a beach to lay their eggs, it would've been an increible sight.
@9:51 "Gently pick up her young." Uh...I imagine this is relative to how a crocodile would normally bite a fish? Because that looks about as gentle as the critical reaction to the last Coldplay album.
I’m really glad you find that useful! I always try to link between topics/videos wherever possible just to highlight how interconnected the ocean’s many systems and habitats are :)
@@NaturalWorldFacts As others here have said, you have a voice and way of speaking that seems tailor made for narration (obviously intentional). I hope youtube is a springboard to a rewarding career, sir.

I rarely feel the need to comment but I have to praise you for your amazing output, from the background music to the captivating information/voice over/unique topics. Thanks mate.
absolutely CRAZY the amount of work that goes into these amazing videos, from editing to research to narration. and we get to watch them for free!! maybe the modern world has its good points…….
I'm sure you get this comment often, but I really want to thank you for these videos, and the incredible work you put into them! It really shows in every video I've watched. My biggest hobby is writing, and oftentimes I like to add in certain details from the real world such as animals, so your videos too are not only soothing, but very informative and helpful with my process! I also really appreciate that you credit the background music! It's rarely something I see any channel do and it's a small thing but I really appreciate it. I can't wait to see more of your work, happy holidays to you and yours :)
Please don't ever change, keep making your videos like this! You find the most beautiful footage and your voice is just peace to the ears! A big giant thank you for popping up in my suggested videos, im a subscriber indefinitely!
Honestly, this channel is definitely starting to be up there among my favourite nature documentary channels. My problem now is that I can't find the time to watch all the videos of all my favourite channels. Fortunately though, a lot of your videos seem to align closely with the topics covered in my courses, which makes me feel like I'm procrastinating less and learning more with these videos. XD
in 12 minutes of video you gave me two pieces of information I was completely unaware of...BRILLIANT. Excellent mini documentary, I tip my hat to all those who worked on it. NatGeo eat your heart out.
Not all other reptiles abandon their eggs, some pythons actively brood on/around their eggs to stabilise temperature and protect them from predators. Burmese pythons and beauty snakes wrap around their eggs
I’m not the type to comment things like this normally, but hey it can’t hurt. I’ve recently gone through a tough breakup after moving to sunny South America with my boyfriend, meaning I’m losing a lot of my new life and about to be moving back to our miserable, gloomy little island of a home country, a prospect which terrifies me and in recent times left me feeling down enough that the unthinkable became a possibility. But then, I found you and your channel, and for the first time in so long I’ve felt that warm comfortable feeling in my chest again, every video is a trip to somewhere more peaceful and quiet where I don’t have to think contemplate, fight or question anything. Just peace. So genuinely from the bottom of my heart (and as a fellow Brit), thank you for all that you’ve done here, you’ve helped someone begin to get out of a very dark place.
Aw that’s so lovely!!! I’m really really glad my channel’s able to be that for you ☺️ I have a ton of comfort channels that I watch too, so it’s really nice to know my own videos are used in that way :)

Thanks for the correction!! I’m actually working on a video all about mimicry itself at the moment and spent ages trawling through pronunciation videos for ‘Batesian’, with each one giving a different answer 😭 Your version makes the most sense I think, so I’ll definitely by using that when it comes to recording :)

I’m in your discord server and I’m shocked no one seems to talk about the beauty and amazing.. everything!.. of your videos. It should be talked about more!😌
As always, you have given us absolutely fascinating information with details that we could not have imagined without your impressive store of data. Thanks again Leo!
@@NaturalWorldFacts no worries pal, I'm having a difficult day, but your videos are a great respite from the daily grind of work and the struggle of this bloody pandemic, especially working outside in London, gonna have a sleep, been up since 2am and was in work at 6am so I guess I'm just a little run down, the winter blues hey 🙄 need some sunshine ☀ 😁
Holly Kal, we're all living in a very stressful time these last few years hey 😪 I hope you watch many of Leo's uploads and find them as calming as I do 🤗 he's definitely doing an amazing job with his channel, and there's a lot more videos to watch on other subjects on nature, peace out lass 🤗 I hope you have a better month in December and into the new year 🤗
Marine reptiles may be less in diversity compared to the past, but still there are many. Sea turtles are quite well adapted and don’t really have a need to change radically from the ancient forms. Sea snakes are still in the early stage of their evolution and who knows what will happen after tens of millions of years. A few non-crocodilian reptiles do also show parental care.
Turtle: can navigate their way back to birthplace from thousands of miles Me: gets lost in small forest near birth village and emerges several miles from where I intended XD
Good stuff although I will note that not all other reptiles actually abandon their nests, there are several species of snakes and lizards which demonstrate some level of protection such as the viviparous monkey tailed skink.
I JUST found your channel. It’s a gift from the universe. There is so much disinformation (along with outright lies) circulating. What a respite to escape through science: the natural world, astronomy, physics and other fact- based information. Thank you for helping me to stay sane. The ignorance is disheartening.
This was incredibly informative! Most nature documentaries focus so much on narrating the lives of individuals that they give half the information in an hour that you cited in 12 minutes. Excellent work. I am slightly wary of ascribing so many terms related to colonialism to animals, however. I fear it subtly naturalizes white supremacy and imperialism. Just a thought! Thanks for the video!
I’m so glad you enjoyed William!! I’d not ever thought about a link between any of the terminology and colonialism - what are the terms you mean in particular? I’d be fascinated to understand how it links to imperialist ideas, I guess a lot of phrases may be residual from colonial periods in history?
I would say that in any context animals are the first to ever colonize anything, so the logic of "we're applying human terms to animals" seems silly in this context. But English isn't my first language so maybe I missed something
Ngl the way you pronounced 'batesian' killed me 😂. You were like "Bat-E-Shun" 🦇, whilst I've always heard it pronounced "Bates-Ian" named after Henry Walter Bates 👨🏻🦳. Weird we'd have different pronunciations seeing as we're both english 🏴, I wonder whos right 🤔. Still an absolutely fantastic video you're quickly becoming one of my favourite channels 🥰. I wonder if your going to make anything on land based animals 🐘 or potentially prehistoric creatures 🦕 or are Marine animals 🐠 your speciality?
Oh I’m sure yours is far more accurate 😁 I relied on a UA-cam video pronunciation clip so it’s not very reliable haha, and I should’ve realised it makes more sense to pronounce it the same as his name. Thank you so much for the kind words!!! 😊

Thanks so much!
I’d love to see a turtles/tortoises video from you. Maybe you could touch on how they evolved away from eachother. Keep up the great work.
Evolution never ceases to amaze
Marine reptiles may be less in diversity compared to the past, but still there are many. Sea turtles are quite well adapted and don’t really have a need to change radically from the ancient forms. Sea snakes are still in the early stage of their evolution and who knows what will happen after tens of millions of years.
A few non-crocodilian reptiles do also show parental care.
Maybe in a couple millions years those sea snakes or marine iguanas will evolve to become some kind of mosasaur like giant sea reptile
The narrative so soothing and the vids have consistent quality. Thanks! It is a very meditative and informative video!
amazing in many ways. a spetacular selection of images and a well done speech
Reptiles: We did it boys. Water reliance is no more. We can stay on land forever.
Also reptiles: Let’s go back to the water.
Amazing stuff as always! Many thanks!

please, never show me a turtle eating again... other than that, great quality work as usual. I watch and rewatch your videos often!
Really fascinating how powerful a saltwater Croc's bite force is, but also gentle enough to carry their newborns.
Turtle: can navigate their way back to birthplace from thousands of miles
Me: gets lost in small forest near birth village and emerges several miles from where I intended XD
Thanks for another amazing video.
Thanks Anna ☺️☺️
Loving your content!!! Thank you for your beautiful work ❤️🖖
Thank you so much 💛
I really like the very soft spoken narration
Excellent video
Good stuff although I will note that not all other reptiles actually abandon their nests, there are several species of snakes and lizards which demonstrate some level of protection such as the viviparous monkey tailed skink.
Thanks again Leon!
Another brilliant video.
Thanks so much!!
I JUST found your channel. It’s a gift from the universe. There is so much disinformation (along with outright lies) circulating. What a respite to escape through science: the natural world, astronomy, physics and other fact- based information.
Thank you for helping me to stay sane. The ignorance is disheartening.
If you want to practice your listening skills this channel is recommended for you. Style, diction, tone and voice is amazing.
This is a really good yt channel :D
Aww cheers ☺️
This was incredibly informative! Most nature documentaries focus so much on narrating the lives of individuals that they give half the information in an hour that you cited in 12 minutes. Excellent work. I am slightly wary of ascribing so many terms related to colonialism to animals, however. I fear it subtly naturalizes white supremacy and imperialism. Just a thought! Thanks for the video!
I’m so glad you enjoyed William!! I’d not ever thought about a link between any of the terminology and colonialism - what are the terms you mean in particular? I’d be fascinated to understand how it links to imperialist ideas, I guess a lot of phrases may be residual from colonial periods in history?
I would say that in any context animals are the first to ever colonize anything, so the logic of "we're applying human terms to animals" seems silly in this context. But English isn't my first language so maybe I missed something
@@VanK782 but the correct group noun is colony, so theres nothing wrong in its proper context
I cannot rant enough about how good these vids are, Jesus Christ
Thank you so so much!!
Your voice reminds me of the narrator from the live action movie of A Series of Unfortunate Events. Very soothing, very clear, and a gentle cadence
I love these videos. I sleep so peacefully if I fall asleep to this
Fascinating and educational. Thanks for this!
Amazing mate 🐸💚🐸
You just can’t watch any of these videos without learning. Thank you
Another wonderful video! This is one I really knew nothing about! Thank you.....OXOXO
Ngl the way you pronounced 'batesian' killed me 😂.
You were like "Bat-E-Shun" 🦇, whilst I've always heard it pronounced "Bates-Ian" named after Henry Walter Bates 👨🏻🦳.
Weird we'd have different pronunciations seeing as we're both english 🏴, I wonder whos right 🤔.
Still an absolutely fantastic video you're quickly becoming one of my favourite channels 🥰.
I wonder if your going to make anything on land based animals 🐘 or potentially prehistoric creatures 🦕 or are Marine animals 🐠 your speciality?
Oh I’m sure yours is far more accurate 😁 I relied on a UA-cam video pronunciation clip so it’s not very reliable haha, and I should’ve realised it makes more sense to pronounce it the same as his name. Thank you so much for the kind words!!! 😊
Great content, thank you for sharing!
I love how amazing this video was,and it's pretty good.
These are dope af.
So we have marine mammals, marine molluscs, and marine reptiles. Should we expect marine avians anytime soon?
It’s on the list 😉
When water noodle goes *blehlelele* with its tongue. I relate hard 🤣
A very informative documentary👌
Great work! I didn't know anything about sea snakes, so that specific section was quite fascinating!!
Thanks for this one, Leo. I’m pretty sure you have a great future ahead of you. 🐨🇦🇺
Ur voice is so relaxingg

Wow this is perfect to watch before bed, thanks!
Great video 👍😊
