Do you guys have ADD or ADHD and often have trouble focusing on videos? Maybe find yourself in the comments and not watching the videos you’re “watching”? I definitely do and it’s hard to miss the facts in this, super slow and deliberate with audio and good visual demonstrations of it all. And there is definitely a mr. Rogers vibe, and he’s basically a hero.
I love the facts but the odd little piano bits remind me too much of the information videos I would watch when I was a child. Even when I was little, those sounds mostly distracted and sort of made the video long and boring, and it was much harder to get the content that I was actually interested in. While I do find the information he presented interesting, this way does sound a lot like those educational kids shows I would get really disinterested in, and I do wish there was a way to make it sound less preschool and pre-filtered. I am very sure that I would be far more receptive to videos that had a lot more real-life physical interaction like Animal Exploration with Jarod Miller, which was the only education show I fondly remember from my childhood.
The piano sounds are really helpful and nostalgic at the same time. For me it's nostalgic since it feels like one of my childhood learning shows. Helpful for my toddler that I watch this with, cause it keeps her attention
I guess everyone is different. Those piano sounds have always bothered me and distracted me from the facts when I was little. I would remember shows like Animal Exploration with Jarod Miller, but most of the other ones just got lost because of the way it sorta down-taught me rather than present captivating and highly illustrated material. Then again, perhaps different personalities are receptive to different styles. I am amazed at the fact that it is capable of keeping the attention of your toddler, and in that case I'm glad to hear it! I just wonder if it's possible to diversify a channel into different styles for each kind of toddler, parent, or even an adult without children to learn about the intriguing information that makes up the universe we live in.
Maybe I'm just different, but those always bored me a ton. I loved the shows like Animal Exploration with Jarod Miller, as the way he presented it felt real and experiential. I got to see an unfiltered and distraction-free view of real creatures and lots of interesting information as he interacted with them. The piano sounds and constant breaks completely lost me, whether as a child or as an adult. Is that just me?
I wish there were way more content creators that did this, with a lot of soothing classical music and piano. It calms down the viewer and makes him settle down and listen.
The chirping of crickets is so closely associated with the ambiance of the night. It evokes a deep sense of nostalgia for me, bringing back memories of sitting outdoors with family by a warm fire, feeling the gentle breeze, and hearing the crickets in the background as the stars twinkle above.
Okay I wasn't sure if it was you but after asking my 7 year old son. He said "yes thats him thats him!" and now he wont stop watching your videos. He loved you in the weird but true and we kept looking for you in other shows and now 3 years later we come across these videos.
What a great video! You're like a Mr. Rogers of science. And I REALLY appreciate the fact that during the whole video you refrained from resorting to ANY storytelling. Sooo refreshing. Keep up the great work!
The way you present your content is so amazingly attractive for viewers of all ages! Your manner of speaking is perfect to lure children in, yet is still able to hold the attentions of adults. The content is also a perfect balance of facts and bits that make it entertaining!
there's something so classy about how the piano is incorporated into the video. this is my first non short vid of yours that ive seen, and it looks like ill have to binge all the others
I am an arthropod enthusiast, hoping to become an entomologist when I get older. My favorite bugs are without a doubt grasshoppers and katydids, as they are what sparked my love for arthropods❤ thank you so much for making this video, it was as if it was made for me lol!
I'm an artist, hoping to make a show one day, and I have a whole story about characters who are all based on bug genuses. A ton of them are based on orthopterans like grasshoppers and katydids, and I've learnt so much about bugs while researching them so I can make my characters accurate.
Go for it man! Is it really a job if its something you love doing? Or is it just paid fun time? Thats the important part, is to find a way to get paid and do the thing you love at the same time
If only school for me was taught this way, I would have actually enjoyed it. As a piano player and a lover of animals and the arts, this channel is truly one of the most charming I've come across. Extremely nostalgic and relaxing, thank you so much for the content you make ❤
These recent videos are nice and obviously a lot of people like them, but I hope you don't totally abandon the wild and frantic energy you had in older ones. Those "what is this skull" and collection tour videos were great!
Dude your channel is amazing. My 5 year old is so interested in all different types of bugs and I've been looking for a good learning channel for that and I showed him this and he is absolutely amazed.
I love this! Watched it with my 2 year old while discussing the difference between crickets and grasshoppers. Also, brilliant ad read integration at the end. 🎉
As a future elementary teacher, and also as a lover of living beings, gotta say this is probably the best video I've seen for the last month or even more. Your channel is amazing, congratulations! ❤
The music realy brings me back to my childhood. Funny enough im not a true Mr. Rodgers fan as the only parts i enjoy watching are the how its made video tapes shown in the picture frame. Something about the piano isnt just nostalgic, its simulating. Has that sweet delicate sound of curiosity and interest in those little tunes. Visually, i imagine a puppy tilting its head when they find something new and interesting and gets them curious. Thats what i love about the piano tunes. So the visual learning, curious speaking tone, and curiosity in the piano is what makes children and us adults pay attention. Its just happily stumulating for us. Wish we will get tv shows for kids similar to this whith the exact tone of curiosity and authority stimuli
It's amazing how loud some of these insects are, and how ingrained they are with our outdoor experiences. When you're out in the sun all day, it almost seems like the buzzing is just what prairie grass does lol. And then crickets when the sun sets 🤌. Very interesting learning more about some of my favorite insects!
Growing up, I have entomophobia, meaning I have a fear of insects (mostly from grasshoppers, crickets and Katydids) because I always think of them as extraterrestrial species that doesn't belong in this planet. After watching this video, I started to respect them abit because of how soft and kind this person speaks. It reminds me of one of those shows from BabyTV. The piano sounds and how it almost sound like an educational kids show but for all ages. This video reliefs me that the narrator is making them friendly than a threat like those animal fight club. I may not get rid of my fear of insects completely, but I am trying to get my fears away so I can be brave to encouter or even touch them.
It’s so fun learning new things about bugs! I love grasshoppers and I could name all the sounds, but learning how to use them was cool. Anyways, nature is so underrated and I wish more people would appreciate it! Thanks for being here, Mr scientist man, to educate us:D
Super fascinating stuff! Would love to get some time in a collection like that. How do they keep these insects in this good state. You were even able to move their wings without them falling apart.
Shoutouts to your story telling. It was very slow paced and kept suspense for relatively long times, but I didn't feel annoyed and exit the video after some seconds. Somehow you kept it very captivating and interesting despite dragging it out. Good producing.
This was so perfect to show my children for learning about grasshoppers. It was interesting enough to keep their attention yet slow enough for them to actually learn.
I’m sure you get this question quite a lot but how does one get into the position you’re in? I’m just starting highschool and im very passionate about the study of animals and insects, but im not sure which path i should take to get there. Love the videos sorry for the broadness of the question!
I love the way this video is filmed and edited! Super simple to follow and understand, an educational video that is very pleasant and easy to watch, thank you! 🙏
Amazing video, man! It's like a story . . I was arguing with my girlfriend about that noise and suddenly a video about it. :D Turns out it's a katydid rubbing it's wings.
I feel like I'm experiencing this video. The soft ques remind me of a game I used to play 🤔 I can't think of it roght now but you played a detective in the old days and you would hear a soft cue when you walked by stuff. That game was calming in a way. Until you got it interrogation 😬 I wish i remembered the name. But this video editing is top notch. New subscriber 👊
Lol, stock footage. Points to article of Northern Pygmy Owl while referring to crickets. Love the channel. Reminds me of shows on PBS or in science class when I was a kid. The more you know!
I loved playing with grasshoppers in tall grass when I was a kid in the summer. They'd do their raspy noise and jump above the grass, and I'd try to catch them before they landed. It was great exercise. 😅
Usually where i live, Katydids are the biggest and the biggest grasshopper i ever saw was about half my hand. And Katydids bite, too. They're omnivorous.
Boss: You'll need gloves on at all times, I don't want you to damage the artifacts and display animals The guy who shows the animals and insects: Ok, I will remember Also him at the music store: 2:32
When I was a kid, I seen a grasshopper hover in the air after jumping and taking flight, and it made a sound while it was hovering. I always thought grasshoppers made different sounds with different methods. I don't know what kind of grasshopper it was and there seemed to be multiple species in my yard. Most of the ones I seen had brownish or grayish bodies, but some were green. The wings were mostly black and yellow, or black and orange.
I absolutely love this kind if editing. Both the sounds (especially the piano ones) and the way you included the text and highlighting circles.
I wish we had more editing like this, I hate bugs but its so calming and lets me watch this.
Reminds me of Mr. Roger's
Me too i love it

Omg same!!! It's funny how the best way we learn is the same way we learned when we were younger lol.

Yea.
such a peaceful summer

In Asia, they use it to cook, I ate really delicious
The piano bits on background is so calming and really makes your video quality very good. Good job, amazing edit 👌👍
Yep the cinematography on his videos is phenomenal.
He's channeling big Mister Rogers Energy.
I wish there were way more content creators that did this, with a lot of soothing classical music and piano. It calms down the viewer and makes him settle down and listen.
The way different clades independently developed features with the same use (like their ears vs. ours) is so fascinating to learn about.
Report this channel. (Not Odd Animal Specimens, this one that I am replying to!)
i think this is called convergent evolution incase youd like to learn more
@@yan7314you are correct!
my ex gf have ears on her vegena.

It is 1 AM and I am watching a video about grasshoppers. Not regretting it at all. Absolutely worth it.
same lol
What a great video! You're like a Mr. Rogers of science. And I REALLY appreciate the fact that during the whole video you refrained from resorting to ANY storytelling. Sooo refreshing. Keep up the great work!
Was looking for the comment that said this was like a Mr Roger's educational segment
Fascinating. Who knew there was so much to know about crickets, grasshoppers and katydids.

Your channel is so underrated I love it I really want to be a zoologist when I’m older
Go for it man! Is it really a job if its something you love doing? Or is it just paid fun time? Thats the important part, is to find a way to get paid and do the thing you love at the same time
I was impressed about the ears placement!
Also the specimens shown towards the end are just awesome!
The sound design for this video was AMAZING! Stellar work all around!
This feels like a show on PBS Kids or something and I am here for it
If only school for me was taught this way, I would have actually enjoyed it. As a piano player and a lover of animals and the arts, this channel is truly one of the most charming I've come across. Extremely nostalgic and relaxing, thank you so much for the content you make ❤
PLEASE make more of these kinds of videos man i absolutely love the piano sounds in the back ground
These recent videos are nice and obviously a lot of people like them, but I hope you don't totally abandon the wild and frantic energy you had in older ones. Those "what is this skull" and collection tour videos were great!
Can you PLEASE make a playlist with all the videos that are like this one? It’s so hard to sort through and find them
Dude your channel is amazing. My 5 year old is so interested in all different types of bugs and I've been looking for a good learning channel for that and I showed him this and he is absolutely amazed.
I love your format, encouraging students to think before being given the answer. Keep up the good work!
I love this! Watched it with my 2 year old while discussing the difference between crickets and grasshoppers.
Also, brilliant ad read integration at the end. 🎉
I really love this playful format. There's a childhood TV show nostalgic feel to it. Thank you.

Katydid: oh no. I must clean my abdomen.
*flings poop 1000 miles away into someone’s mouth… probably*
Super fascinating stuff! Would love to get some time in a collection like that. How do they keep these insects in this good state. You were even able to move their wings without them falling apart.
Likely they have several specimens of the same species in different poses. Preserved insects are very brittle
Shoutouts to your story telling. It was very slow paced and kept suspense for relatively long times, but I didn't feel annoyed and exit the video after some seconds. Somehow you kept it very captivating and interesting despite dragging it out. Good producing.

watching this with a fever is so chill ty, no loud noises, definitely going to use this as a new babysitting tactic.
Wow, your presentation and editing style has evolved so beautifully. Well done, man.
Grasshopper are probably some of my favorite insects, so it was nice learn some more about them
Finally this guy is not claiming that these are all his collections, big improvement with not miss informing people 👏🏻👏🏻
I love the way this video is filmed and edited! Super simple to follow and understand, an educational video that is very pleasant and easy to watch, thank you! 🙏
😮😮😮😮😢😢😂😂😂😂
😅😅😅
One of the best nature/animal UA-cam creators. Great video
I absolutely adore the way you teach things, it's easy to understand and it really sticks.
Was I expecting an abc style kids show with insects not exactly but this editing style is so unique that I really like it keep going
This is so cool! I didnt know grasshoppers make sounds!
OAS: We are standing on a planet called Earth
Screen: ERROR!
This is so wholesome and beautiful
this channel is a blessing
Hey Odd Animal Specimens, can you explain to us how do cobra's or king cobra's inflate their hood?? And what the use of it??
I'm very curious about it
I felt like a kid again! Thanks for the wonderful content!❤
This was extremely informative and interesting. I didn't know there was so much to learn about these little guyys.
10 out of 10 for education and entertainment. Love these!
This is amazing I love this content it’s silly but also educates you
1am , and I not regreting to watch your videos at all.
you are a better teacher i literally learned more from you than in school your like a better teacher
Wow the katydid sound is what I always thought a cicada made. Neat!
Ah, so thats what Katydid
Him: What sound is this?
Me: THATS A FREAKING CICADA
Him: It's a katydid.
Me: wut
LOVE THIS VIDEO!!! So fun and informative! I LOVE learning about animals and plants! Biology is magical!
It's insane how we get videos of this quality for free
Such great videos to learn. I subscribed my first view.
I love your channel, thanks for the knowledge
Great video, man 🤙 the mix is impeccable 👏
I love this channel I love hearing more animal things 👏
Feels like a video I would have watched in elementary and I LOVE it.

I found a grasshopper on my flowers tonight and we watched your video together to better know each other 🙂
I love your video. I think it’s best for young kids with all the theatrics and musical melodies ❤
its always a beautiful day when u upload a video
love the editing style
Lol, stock footage. Points to article of Northern Pygmy Owl while referring to crickets. Love the channel. Reminds me of shows on PBS or in science class when I was a kid. The more you know!
Nice and relaxing educational video. Good job sir.. you nailed it!!!
1:54 it looked like the cricket was twerking
I didn’t know grasshoppers look terrifying up close ✋😭
😢
I love your channel!!!
It's soothing and interesting.i wish I had a teacher like you. I'd take a course.
I loved playing with grasshoppers in tall grass when I was a kid in the summer. They'd do their raspy noise and jump above the grass, and I'd try to catch them before they landed. It was great exercise. 😅
ur videos remind me of being a child and watching pbs kids back when life was simple and not bad.
Why do animal videos on UA-cam teach so much better than actual school? I just learned so much about similar insects in one video
Interesting video!! I learned a lot!!
Usually where i live, Katydids are the biggest and the biggest grasshopper i ever saw was about half my hand. And Katydids bite, too. They're omnivorous.

Watched a short that featured mormon katydids. Found my way here. Subscribed.
This is great information, my science teacher would like this.
Bro loved your video and experiments...
Teacher: Who was making noise in class
Me: Katy did
Okay but what do cicadas do to make sounds? Where I live they can be deafening when they emerge
the droning noise in the summer is katydids?? oh my god I never knew that thank you for teaching me about that! I didn't even know they made noise!
I like your format
This was great, btw -- I forgot to leave a comment; but, yeah -- great video. Thanks!🙂
Mom: who did it
Ella: Katydid!
Can you show the sea animal collection in the dry lab? Thanks! I love your content its so entertaining
This is so great. Thanks!
Please do a video on cicadas!!!
great video mate thanks for sharing
So where do locusts fit in all of this?
Grasshoppers become locusts in their swarming phase.
your editing style reminds me of Untitled Goose Game, love it 10/10
Crickets: chirp chirp chirp
Grasshoppers: demonic noises from Silent Hill.
Katydid is 3, rainbow is 2,orange is 3,done ✅
I used to get grasshoppers when I was a kid
No I'm just getting to the house
