literally the best channel ive discovered in a long time, as someone who has been fascinated by marine biology since literally forever i get almost giddy when i see one of your uploads, the quality, the atmopshere it creates, the consistency, evrything is perfect! My only complaint before was that i wanted longer videos due to how good they are, and look at this! 20 min videos! 2022 is already better than 2021.
I couldn't agree more! The quality of content on this channel is unbelievable. The information being provided is one thing, but the editing and, gosh, everything is so good.
I’m currently in hospital recovering from an extremely painful operation. Listening to your voice describe molluscs had given me so much distraction it’s unreal. I frequently listen to your videos whilst drawing cephalopods and other deep sea creatures; but this has been the most helpful video by far. Thank you so much
Oh my goodness I hope your recovery is fast and you feel better soon, that sounds intense!! Honestly, it means the world to me to read this - knowing that by nerding out about molluscs on UA-cam I’ve somehow helped you is just fantastic! I’d love to see your deep sea drawings, do you post them anywhere?
@@NaturalWorldFacts I agree that your voice is like that of professional relaxation therapists, except you are providing educational material with amazing video footage! I found your channel a few days ago and your videos are a real pleasure to watch. This one is my favourite so far as I love nudibranchs and octopus in particular but I'm also learning about species I was not aware of before. i'm forwarding this video to my family and I can guarantee they will love it as well! Thank you very much for all you do!
I hope you are out of hospital by now, and that your pain has vanished, or at least subsided a lot. I noticed your username is twisted squid, so I hope your doctors treated you appropriately. Speaking of which: In case you're still recovering, and need some lighthearted diversion, I was just watching a Star Trek TNG episode ("Suspicions" in Season 6) in which a very unusual alien had a medical emergency and I was wondering if they provided their anatomical details and next of kin information when they beam up to the Enterprise? There is also a fish alien episode involving Mrs. Troi which is pretty funny ("Manhunt" in Season 2). The UA-cam channel "pitch meetings" is hilarious, and there are probably close to 400 videos by now. It's a single comedian named Ryan George, who plays a screenwriter guy and a producer guy. You don't have to know anything about the movies or TV shows because I've only seen about 10% of those, and I find all of the pitch meeting videos very funny! He has a second channel called "Ryan George" in which he does different kinds of skits, which I also highly recommend! Get well soon! 😄🙏🐙🐠
A golden find within the vast world of useless content on youtube. Very rare to find something that is as informative, visually stimulating, atmospheric, and deeply relaxing as this. 10 out of 10. Every. Single. Time.
Just discovered you through your Deep Sea videos and this is a great video too! (and just noticed it's fresh mmm) I have a deep interest in deep sea creatures since young and even did a website about deep sea creatures with Dreamweaver for my school project almost 18 years ago now. I can't describe how happy I am discovering your channel. Keep it up man!
This is so lovely to read, and I’m thrilled you found my channel and are enjoying my videos! I’d love to check out your old deep sea website if it’s still live :)
As someone who wishes to enter the deep sea biology field but doesn't have any Universities for it around them, you are the main source of all my education for it! I'm glad I could finally catch a newly posted video! There's actually something I've been pondering for a while now - would deep sea octopuses have developed the same level of intelligence and behavioural complexity as their shallow water relatives? I imagine that it could be limited by resource availability... Google scholar hasn't supplied me with any research about it, so what do you think?
The main limiting factor for cephalopod intelligence is the lack of active parenting. Cephalopods starve themselves to death while tending to their eggs, becoming a free first meal for their young. Without active parenting, there can be no transfer of knowledge, and with no transfer of knowledge there is no need for intelligence that can handle abstract concepts. However, a colony of octopi in the Mediterranean have been observed living communally, with young octopi learning from elders who haven't reproduced and died yet, so it appears the process of evolving higher intelligence is currently underway. It's suspected the strong selective pressure favoring this communal learning lifestyle is being driven by fishermen.
@@deusexaethera Well despite the lack of active parenting, octopi still seem to be highly intelligent on their own. The possibility of colonial octopi really opens up alot of possibilities. Their lifespans are very short because of their parental sacrifice. If there are octopi that willingly forgo reproduction (For whatever reason, the death is directly related to reproduction, regardless if they become a meal or not. They are just programmed to die, probably a holdover from previous ancestors) they could then start lengthening their lifespan. If octopus where actively taught by parents, and lived three times as long? Things would start getting real weird in the ocean.
@@pauldeddens5349 well because they are still very intelligent, but thats where the large difference between intelligence and knowledge comes in. Same as how a human from 20,000 years ago would be a normal functioning member of modern society if they were raised from a baby in modern times, we have had the same general intelligence among us as long as we've been homo sapiens. the only difference is nowadays we have millenia of surviving knowledge that we pass down. But as you said, if some octopi just decided to never have kids and instead stay around to teach their tricks to the next generation of another octopuses kids? they would probably start to dominate the whole of the worlds ocean floors if it becomes commonplace. it truly is sad these animals have evolved to basically shut down after the first time breeding. It does offer the benefits of more surviving young because of the free meal they offer themselves as but a change to having less young and just caring for them for the first couple months would probably be a overall benefit imo
I just watched this again because I realized that I never knew how much I didn't know (and how much more I *wanted* to know) about the molluscs. The your presentations are thoughtfully constructed and the systematic review of data makes everything perfectly understandable in a way that my teachers rarely could; making these videos not only informative, but adding a level of interest that makes learning exciting and captivating. Thank you for taking us along on your explorations of the natural world.
Sometimes I watch these videos multiple times just to make sure I absorb all of the information. Honestly this channel is wonderful. Your content is great, and both so informative and relaxing. Thank you for these videos. You're helping in so many ways.
This was a fantastic video. From the very first minute, I was in awe at how you presented the vast diversity of marine molluscs. Through a combination of exquisite narration, stunning video, and breathtaking music, you have earned a spot as my favorite documentary channel on this platform. Well done.
Woah! This is perfect! It's always so hard for me to classify what's mollusc and what isn't. I've always assumed lobsters and shrimp/krill/prawns were mulluscs. Good to be proven wrong.
@@SnowblindOtter Good to know! I’ve always known that they were crustaceans, but I always assumed that mollusks came under the crustacean category. Taxonomy still gets me to this day!
@@GeoZoo-official. Taxonomy is confusing as all get-out. I know professional biologists and people with degrees in taxonomy, and they hate it as much as physicists hate organic chemistry.
i can't quite describe how well put together your videos are. i can't help but be consumed by a sense of awe and wonder while watching. thank you for sharing this passion of life on this earth!
Another fantastic addition to your growing library of videos. As always, stunningly beautiful, well researched, and wonderful to watch. I'm amazed by how diverse and adaptable molluscs are! So many intriguing and beautiful forms in so many totally different environments! I always learn so much from your videos, Leo...thank you!
I've only just discovered this channel through a recommended video and I'm so pleased I happened upon it. Simply perfect! Love your content and narration!
One of the most enjoyable youtube channels I've subscribed to by far. The narrator's voice is so soothing and makes me feel relaxed while learning great info on sea creatures.
I've seen dozens of your videos in the last few days after I encountered your channel. Your voice is perfect for documentaries, it keeps you interested and make it not realize you just saw hours of your content. Keep it going!
Just wanted to give appreciation to the quality and depth of this video, but also the fact that all this information is free. Love the channel, keep up the excellent work
So educational, and I love the deep sea . my favorite dinosaur is the Ammonite . Love watching these videos . Relaxing and fun. Reminds me of endless ocean games .
I’ve just come across this video while watching UA-cam videos to improve my English listening skills on a Saturday afternoon. This is truly amazing. It’s informative, aesthetically superb, and therapeutic at the same time. Thank you, from Tokyo, Japan.
Thank you so so much!! I’m having far too much fun to stop. I’m currently working on 3 films across 3 separate series, one of which will be the longest deep-sea episode I’ve ever made (I got so carried away writing the script) so it’s taking a little longer than usual, but I’m so excited to share it hopefully soon!!
I just came across this channel and the narrating got me immediately! Slow and precise speaking! What a relief from the usual speed-talking on most other channels. THANK YOU!
Another great job, Leo. At first I was surprised you didn't talk about the cuttlefish, but then I realized it's been done to death, and that you were focusing on certain basic features and adaptations.
My favorite learning channel. Beautiful footage, never ever repetitive or tedious. Perfect. I wish I could subscribe and like your wonderful content more than once. Thank you for this. My fascination since a very young child is ocean and marine species. You’re a wonderful teacher and have the most soothing and beautiful voice as well. Thank you again, Good Sir. ⭐️
beautifully presented! the narration draws us into the mysterious and fascinating diversity of forms, just mesmerizing footage! I have long been drawn to the development of the cephalopods, but the other families are just as intriguing with their adaptation strategies and solutions to the challenges of survival (the uses of neurotoxin for example; aposematism; that brooding chamber fashioned by the female Argonaut Octopus~Wow!!) Thank you for the terrific content.
@Natural Wolrd Facts,I still maintain I would love an episode on all types of plankton and micro organisms of the seas. I learn so much for your uploads and so looking forwards to Paradise!
Love the videos. Footage is great. Editing is great. Script writing is great. And I can't get enough of the reverb on the narrator's mic. It makes the whole thing feel like it's done underwater. A+ for immersion.
I found your channel while I was getting ready to sleep last night and I've already watched 3 videos today. Your videos + editing and music are both calming and genuinely interesting? Which is weird because high school biology basically made me hate bio. I'm getting back into it now though, so nature is healing I guess. (also happy 700th comment!!)
Thank you so much!! This is so lovely to read, I’m really glad you enjoy my films. I’m working on a new one as we speak, and the script is already twice as long as normal and that’s just for part 1 of 3. 🙈 It’s gonna be a biggie!
Do you think in the future you could go over more about freshwater life? I feel like the large varieties of animals in the vast river and lakes don’t get the appreciation they deserve yet are so fascinating in my opinion.
It’s kind of beautiful that this comment section is filled with so many different languages. People all around the world are able to enjoy the same music, type wholesome comments, and have their days improved while lifting up others too
Thank you for another amazing video, Leo! This kind of videos is exactly what's needed during these stressful times. Great quality, beautiful images, and a soothing voice - so calming, engaging, and passionate. You could easily make a career as a voiceover actor for documentaries or advertising ;)
im having a wonderful evening (its 3am. would you look at that) scrolling trough your videos and filling up my notebook :D just wanted to say i really appreciate the fact theres subtitles on every video ive seen so far. it truly means a lot. on a different note, your voice and pronunciation are insanely nice to listen to! and the footage is always incredible, as someone who very rarely actually *watches* to this type of content (i usually just listen to them and sometimes glance at the screen) i was very surprised when i realized i had no problems paying attention to your videos. everything about them is really really good and i hope to see you do some even bigger things in the future cause man youve definitely got the talent and skill for it
I find your voice and other aspects of verbal delivery to be very unique in a good way. And totally fitting the content, it almost sounds like you are smiling throughout most of your narration. Must be your passion showing! Appreciate the effort you put into your videos, I most enjoy your more broadly subjected videos, where I learn how the ecosystems intertwine. But all of your content is of great quality and interesting on it's own, even if you go into the more niche like this. I'm excited for your midnight zone video ever since watching your twilight zone video. Have a great weekend, sir.
dear Stanley, me and my boyfriend are addicted to this amazing video and song. We put the video on a big screen, turn off the lights and we dance it quite often. amazing. Thanks for it!
This is one of very few channels where I'll "like" videos at the start because I know I'll enjoy them. I've watched all of your videos at least once, enjoyed them all and learned things each time.
I dont really use youtube much anymore for entertainment because everything is so quantity over quality, but im glad i found ur channel, you definitely know what ur doing and put in the effort
This is one of the best videos I've ever seen on the subject, from research to presentation. Molluscs have long been a fascination of mine and this just blew my mind with how much I didn't know! Also, I love the narrator's voice, it's so calming
Your videos are unmatched, I pray for your greater success im sure you’ve worked for :) your voice and the quality of these entire videos are phenomenal!
Once again you have presented an admirable amount of information on a staggering array of species; using the wide range of films from MBARI, NatGeo, Blue World and many others to stun us into silence with slack jaws and soup-plate eyes. Even the background music is eerie and enigmatic; to give just the perfect amount of suspense. Where you get all of it is beyond me, but your repertoire is so vast and extensive, I'd kill to have just a portion of it at my fingertips. Thank you again Leo, for taking us on these magical flights of fancy into the mysterious world beneath the waves.
when i see new marine videos from you i get so excited! you are my FAVORITE channel to listen to on bad days, your voice is so soothing. thank you for these amazing videos!
I'm glad UA-cam recommended this video at my homepage. Such a masterpiece. I like the combination of high quality video, detailed information, all is wrapped elegantly with beautiful classical music.
This was an excellent and aesthetically pleasing work of science communication! I came away with a much better understanding of mollusc morphology and evolution, and I thoroughly enjoyed watching. Thank you.
Leo you've done it again. My lord. Your so talented and your Passion seems to genuinely come across in everything you do ! Thx for sharing / teaching your passion to all of us. Love LOVE YOU & YOUR CHANNEL. YT NEEDS about 100k more creators like you.
I wasn't sure until I saw the squarespace ad if this was a documentary done by a big company then put on youtube or if it was made specifically for youtube, but hot damn this is one great documentary and probably the one most lovingly-devoted to the subject matter. I could hear the narrator's awe about molluscs and it was really beautiful. Discovery Channel WISHES it has documentaries this good
Such a wonderful channel! Destined for great things.. Little more than a year ago I remember when Leo was thrilled to reach 7K subs.. now he'll soon have *half a million!* Deservedly so! 👏👏
i watch your videos when i have anxiety attacks and it always helps tremendously... i have always loved the ocean. it brings me back to a simpler time. thank you
Bravo Leo! Another outstanding video from one of the best channels on UA-cam. In a better world these creatures would sit at the top of the food chain instead of us.
Your voice is so soothing. I watched this through headphones, and the soft voice combined with the calming music emitted a super chill vibe. It helped me relax super well. It’s like asmr for scientists.
My cat really liked this video ^_^ usually she only watches videos when I put on a video of birds (with sound) but even though I had headphones on she sat on my lap and enjoyed quite a bit of this one!! Keep up the great work!
Wow, this video wraps the viewer, it is very beautiful, I am in 1º of ESO in Spain and I look thos video to learn more and understand mollusks and more, this channel explains everything in great detail as well as telling you super interesting facts. I will continue watching this content, greetings from Spain.
Watching the clip at 11:20 The hole created is so perfect, that it looks like it has been drilled by a carefully aligned piece of man made mechanical machinery. Nature is so amazingly adaptive. Such a superb Deep Sea documentary. Applause!
what an interesting video! and your delivery is so calm and relaxing, i love it! and i am really glad i have found your channel, it is evident that you put a great effort into these videos
Bravo, this was great and kept my attention the whole time, rarely repeated video clips, and provided some new info that 10+years of internetting hasnt provided. Thank you!
I like your calm clear voice as well as the well construced understandable explanations about the subject that makes It easier to understand for non scientist but common people like me.
A beautifully made video, fascinating images, highly informative and sympathetic commentary. Enough t o warrant a subscription on the basis of one video alone. Thank you.
literally the best channel ive discovered in a long time, as someone who has been fascinated by marine biology since literally forever i get almost giddy when i see one of your uploads, the quality, the atmopshere it creates, the consistency, evrything is perfect! My only complaint before was that i wanted longer videos due to how good they are, and look at this! 20 min videos! 2022 is already better than 2021.
Agreed ! I love when they post full videos
Completely agree, great UA-cam channel.
well said!
I couldn't agree more! The quality of content on this channel is unbelievable. The information being provided is one thing, but the editing and, gosh, everything is so good.
I love marine biology too!!
I’m currently in hospital recovering from an extremely painful operation. Listening to your voice describe molluscs had given me so much distraction it’s unreal. I frequently listen to your videos whilst drawing cephalopods and other deep sea creatures; but this has been the most helpful video by far. Thank you so much
Oh my goodness I hope your recovery is fast and you feel better soon, that sounds intense!! Honestly, it means the world to me to read this - knowing that by nerding out about molluscs on UA-cam I’ve somehow helped you is just fantastic!

I hope you are out of hospital by now, and that your pain has vanished, or at least subsided a lot. I noticed your username is twisted squid, so I hope your doctors treated you appropriately. Speaking of which:
In case you're still recovering, and need some lighthearted diversion, I was just watching a Star Trek TNG episode ("Suspicions" in Season 6) in which a very unusual alien had a medical emergency and I was wondering if they provided their anatomical details and next of kin information when they beam up to the Enterprise?
There is also a fish alien episode involving Mrs. Troi which is pretty funny ("Manhunt" in Season 2).

The ocean has either the coolest (cool but weird), or scariest animals you'll ever see. There is nothing between.
nothing in between, but plenty of overlap
Like normal humans?
if something is so amazing that it scares you, that feeling is awe. The ocean itself is awesome.

@@GeoZoo-official. Taxonomy is confusing as all get-out. I know professional biologists and people with degrees in taxonomy, and they hate it as much as physicists hate organic chemistry.
I know that the defining characteristic of a mollusc is that has a bocal apparatus called radula
Do you know why the little mollusk didn't get presents from Santa this year? It's because he was on his nautilus 😂

everything about them is really really good and i hope to see you do some even bigger things in the future cause man youve definitely got the talent and skill for it
I find your voice and other aspects of verbal delivery to be very unique in a good way. And totally fitting the content, it almost sounds like you are smiling throughout most of your narration. Must be your passion showing!
Appreciate the effort you put into your videos, I most enjoy your more broadly subjected videos, where I learn how the ecosystems intertwine. But all of your content is of great quality and interesting on it's own, even if you go into the more niche like this. I'm excited for your midnight zone video ever since watching your twilight zone video. Have a great weekend, sir.
The best deep sea video creator currently imo
Aw thanks, that means a lot :)
Most underrated channel ever, tbh
I wish there were channels for all fields of science as cool as this one. Learning takes a new turn when it's made fun and beautiful.
I have watched so many different educational videos that if I were in the presence of a z list 'celebrity' I won't even talk to them
dear Stanley, me and my boyfriend are addicted to this amazing video and song. We put the video on a big screen, turn off the lights and we dance it quite often. amazing. Thanks for it!
@03:37 Cutest slime I have ever seen, look at those innocent little wings lol
What a beautiful calm voice.I don't know if it is male or female speaking but it is wonderful
This is one of very few channels where I'll "like" videos at the start because I know I'll enjoy them.
I've watched all of your videos at least once, enjoyed them all and learned things each time.
I dont really use youtube much anymore for entertainment because everything is so quantity over quality, but im glad i found ur channel, you definitely know what ur doing and put in the effort
Your content has lit a fire in me for marine life. These videos are amazing!💜
Your voice is clean, clear and soothing! Wonderful narration, excellent content, thank you!
The narrators voice is so comforting. It’s soft and trustworthy. Is it weird to want to hug someone’s voice? Haha
I love these videos so much.
This is one of the best videos I've ever seen on the subject, from research to presentation. Molluscs have long been a fascination of mine and this just blew my mind with how much I didn't know!
Also, I love the narrator's voice, it's so calming
One of the best narrator and best content on youtube. Very thankful to have found it. Excellent work guys.
Your videos are unmatched, I pray for your greater success im sure you’ve worked for :) your voice and the quality of these entire videos are phenomenal!
Thanks!
This video was amazing, I loved the editing :) can’t wait to see more
I am so glad that I am such a nerd! This was absolutely informative!🤣😂 And Leo Richards has one of the most soothing voices that I've ever heard!👍
Once again you have presented an admirable amount of information on a staggering array of species; using the wide range of films from MBARI, NatGeo, Blue World and many others to stun us into silence with slack jaws and soup-plate eyes. Even the background music is eerie and enigmatic; to give just the perfect amount of suspense. Where you get all of it is beyond me, but your repertoire is so vast and extensive, I'd kill to have just a portion of it at my fingertips.
Thank you again Leo, for taking us on these magical flights of fancy into the mysterious world beneath the waves.
when i see new marine videos from you i get so excited! you are my FAVORITE channel to listen to on bad days, your voice is so soothing. thank you for these amazing videos!
I'm glad UA-cam recommended this video at my homepage. Such a masterpiece. I like the combination of high quality video, detailed information, all is wrapped elegantly with beautiful classical music.
Amazing job. You are a poet
This was an excellent and aesthetically pleasing work of science communication! I came away with a much better understanding of mollusc morphology and evolution, and I thoroughly enjoyed watching. Thank you.
Leo you've done it again. My lord. Your so talented and your Passion seems to genuinely come across in everything you do ! Thx for sharing / teaching your passion to all of us. Love LOVE YOU & YOUR CHANNEL. YT NEEDS about 100k more creators like you.
Still one of the best channels of all time. Thank you so much❤ Hope you’re doing well bud
I wasn't sure until I saw the squarespace ad if this was a documentary done by a big company then put on youtube or if it was made specifically for youtube, but hot damn this is one great documentary and probably the one most lovingly-devoted to the subject matter. I could hear the narrator's awe about molluscs and it was really beautiful. Discovery Channel WISHES it has documentaries this good
Such a wonderful channel! Destined for great things.. Little more than a year ago I remember when Leo was thrilled to reach 7K subs.. now he'll soon have *half a million!*
Deservedly so! 👏👏
Thank you so much!! How long have you been with me and the channel now? :)
i watch your videos when i have anxiety attacks and it always helps tremendously... i have always loved the ocean. it brings me back to a simpler time. thank you
Your voice and tempo when talking is a balsam to my soul....you know you can stop a war with that voice, dont you? 💕💕
Amazing how such quality content is available to watch for free.
Bravo Leo! Another outstanding video from one of the best channels on UA-cam. In a better world these creatures would sit at the top of the food chain instead of us.
I have just discovered an *excellent source of Marine Zoology / Biology.* Thanks, Leo, for a wonderful adventure beneath the Ocean.
Your voice is so soothing. I watched this through headphones, and the soft voice combined with the calming music emitted a super chill vibe. It helped me relax super well. It’s like asmr for scientists.
My cat really liked this video ^_^ usually she only watches videos when I put on a video of birds (with sound) but even though I had headphones on she sat on my lap and enjoyed quite a bit of this one!! Keep up the great work!
Happy to hear I have your cat’s approval ☺️
Aye i love seeing your content get better and better! Your videos have gone from good to amazing
you and Robert Sepehr are legitimately the only channels I have notifications on. I always look forward too your videos :)
i find this intensly interesting even as a person who dont usually watch marine life
Wow, this video wraps the
viewer, it is very beautiful, I am in 1º of ESO in Spain and I look thos video to learn more and understand mollusks and more, this channel explains everything in great detail as well as telling you super interesting facts.
I will continue watching this content, greetings from Spain.
Watching the clip at 11:20 The hole created is so perfect, that it looks like it has been drilled by a carefully aligned piece of man made mechanical machinery. Nature is so amazingly adaptive. Such a superb Deep Sea documentary. Applause!
When you fall in love with the channel's narrator, you know its subscribe time
🥰🥰
You have such a soothing narration voice. Ive been listening to your awesome facts before i go to sleep for the night
I love your videos because I can put them in the background while I do other things, and still can understand everything you explain.
these videos are so unbelievably relaxing your voice is amazing the videos must take a tone of work keep it up 👍
Love falling asleep watching these
what an interesting video! and your delivery is so calm and relaxing, i love it! and i am really glad i have found your channel, it is evident that you put a great effort into these videos
Your videos are incredibly well written!
Your voice is my peace. When I play a video, I immediately relax.
Bravo, this was great and kept my attention the whole time, rarely repeated video clips, and provided some new info that 10+years of internetting hasnt provided. Thank you!
soo much perfection in creation. To think people are stupid enough to doubt the immense detail and design put in by the creator.
I like your calm clear voice as well as the well construced understandable explanations about the subject that makes It easier to understand for non scientist but common people like me.
Such a high-quality, well-informed, and intriguing documentary! A true work of art.
The quality of your content is better than those large documentary shows
A beautifully made video, fascinating images, highly informative and sympathetic commentary. Enough t o warrant a subscription on the basis of one video alone. Thank you.
This is great info. Subscribed!
