I love how you show your viewers what we want: Leon and the rescue cats, and also show us the stuff you love, like adventuring, with a mellow musical background. Please sir show me Leon, Jet, the little crabs, the koi, you're adventures and everything. I love it so much!
I thought you were going to say, "Leon found the missing crab...and it was delicious." Glad to see that everyone seems to be surviving & thriving, even crabby crab.
I’m one of the silent followers but RU-vid recommended the first Leon video a few months ago and fell in love with the channel. So I thought I would thank you for making the videos. It had helped me navigate the grief process with my aunt who passed away in a car accident November 18th, 2023.
Brady, I’ve been a fan since this whole Leon thing started. I got to see the podcast that you were on recently. Good stuff man. Just wanted to say thanks for all the good stuff you do for animals. Much love from Raeford NC. 🤙🤙
@@Bradybrandwoodwell dang, I live about 15 minutes from the track. I think it’s still in business. If you ever get up this way, you are more than welcome to stay in the bonus room. We always have room for good folks like yourself. Have a good one and be careful out there buddy 🤙
I can’t get over how beautiful Leon is. Your videos give me so much pleasure and I’ve learned so much. I’m going to see our mutual friend, Maryanne Ilnickij soon so I bought a Leon sweatshirt to wear for her arrival. Love to all the cats!
I think the lady using the road kill recycling is very resourceful. Not sure if I’d carry one. Fascinating watching the clams, haven’t seen them active like that.
Your videography & editing have soared to next level with beautiful lighting, smooth panning and zooming, and even time lapse. I don’t really even notice your editing (in a good way!)because it’s not show-offish; I can tell that you plan it very purposefully to enhance the story. Lastly, I always enjoy your music. I always watch but don’t comment, so I thought it was time to give you some kudos. 🏆💛
Maybe Big Little Crab was hangry. I get hangry too, sometimes. Makes you just plain grumpy until you get food. Rest in Peace, Surveillance Camera Kitty. I only just learned of you but you were pretty cool I think.
I watch all sorts of nonsense on RU-vid, much of which kind of annoys me, especially all the political mess we find in our lives. So I absolutely love this oasis of calm and tranquility. Thank you so much for this set of videos, I've been a follower from day one, and no matter how many videos are recommended to me, if this channel is one of them, you are my first call. Keep doing what you do. We all love Leon.
this is definitely some of my favorite RU-vid content . The way Leon has transformed from his very first appearance has been spectacular . Animals whether on sea or land are so spectacular .
Brady, you can say your videos are about Leon et al but I say they are about your charming modesty that brings alive the tales you tell. You are a great storyteller. Thank you for bringing joy and light into your fans’ lives. Gd bless 😊
I love Leon, such a mellow little guy and I really think on some level he knows you showed him kindness when rescuing him, seeing that one lobster in the fish market is a reminder of how our Leon could have ended up.....we can't save them all but thankfully you saved him.
It looks like it's some form of grooming, which I imagine is extra important in the ocean where plants and animals can literally just start growing on you xD Lobsters just don't quite have the dexterity that we have, so they have to improvise :P
Hey, I saw that same spot where Smokey and the Bandit were filmed on another channel I follow called Twinstick Garage, he built a Smokey and the Bandit truck, now working on the Trans am, Bandit One. He didn't go in the store though! What a cool place! Glad you found the little crab! As for grumpy crab, it reminded me of that character on Seinfeld, if you've ever seen that. He had a restaurant. He hated everyone and would often ban folk "NO FOOD FOR YOU!"... LOL Thanks for the great shows Brady!
I'm no expert on lobsters, but I bet Leon would love having a 'lobster house,' to stay under, when he's not out patrolling his turf. Maybe a starfish or two now, to control the aneminey, so they don't overpopulate the tank. I'm thinking 'Big-Little crab,' is becoming territorial. He's got his spot, his rocks, his hole... "Stay away!"
@@PghRN I'm just thinking that if you get too many starfish, then their food supply will end really fast! And I'd research just which stars would suit the environment of an aquarium. Stars seem to be good at 'populating. And having a good food supply will give them good reason to do just that! Thing is, you don't want to get any stars that might eat crabs, glass shrimp or 'lobster!' Good luck!
Best ever views of all the life in the aquarium. Not rushed. Stunning. The behavior of the sealife is fascinating. And loved seeing the eyes(?) of the clams.
i click on these videos being like "eh ill watch it for a minute or two and then end up watching the entire thing, this guy is so honest and caring for animals and seems to just love life its great
I also saw you on the podcast interview. You are just as calm and collected as you sound on this channel. I love your variety and that includes your country explorations. I knew zero about tanks except what I saw in dentist's offices. I'm 72 and absolutely love your reactions. Quite the animal lover you are. Is that correct? Would I refer to Leon and the shrimp as animals? Anyone, please let me know. Love to all for supporting this channel.
Yep! Scientifically, all living things can be classified as either plants or animals, so if they're not plants, they're definitely animals! 😊 And on the cellular level, they would have round animal cells rather than the rectangular plant cells. So you are absolutely right to call them animals.
@@sarahmonte1069well, there's fungi, protists, and bacteria too... and even more, depending on which taxonomy you favour! But that's being pedantic :)
Hello Leon 👋🏽👋🏽👋🏽 I'm always so happy to see you thriving! Along wth your other tank-mates, so much fun! See you soon. Thanks, Brady. I'm glad you're doing well also! ❤❤
I adore Leon and all your content, Brady. Please keep it coming! ETA: I was on the jersey shore last summer, you can scoop the wet sand up in your hands (I used a frisbee) and it’s full of tiny clams that immediately bury themselves again in the sand. I found it fascinating!
Your channel is so unique, amazing and educational!! Thank you for rescuing Leon from the grocery store! He was meant for greatness!!🥰🙌🫎 The cinematography is awesome!!!!!!
In regards to the roadkill purses, I know that the lead taxidermist at the Los Angeles Natural History Museum got his start working with roadkill pelts as a teenager, much to his mother's dismay. I'd say it's just as valid a way to find dead animals as anything else.
Yeah, many leather tanners buy skins from the meat industry, since those skins are otherwise just tossed on a pile and burned. If the animal has to die either way, we can at least have the decency to take care of as much of its body as possible, and not waste it. It's all about making use of what's already there and nobody else would use.
Hello Brady, absolutely wonderful aquarium stuff 😊👍🏻 in this video, thanks a lot! I‘m a great fan and will watch this video again like I do with all of your Leon videos. 😁 Love ❤ and greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
It is so wonderful to see an update about Leon and all of his house mates. Everyone of them is a welcome sighted! I'm so glad the tiniest little crab found a good spot to hide in while you were cleaning Leons tank! What a smart little crab! I'm so glad that nothing happened to him! And it does my heart so much good to see a new Leon video up and see that everyone, grumpy crab included, is just doing so great! And getting along, for the most part! I'm sure everyone has had their grumpy crab moments, but he still doesn't go around picking fights. He battles the rings because they messed with him first! But he is alive and doing crab stuff, as are all of the animals in and around the tank! The rescue cats are all looking so good. And even momma cat. I'm so glad. Thank you and Bless you, for all of your amazing acts of kindness that you have shown to all of God's creatures both great and small! You are an amazing man and I'm so glad that I first tuned into Leons story, and have been an avid fan ever since! Thanks Brady!❤
Another brilliant video Brady , Leon and the gang are looking fantastic you are doing a great job , Jet is gorgeous the other cats art great but Jet is having such a brilliant life now , Thank you again for the video .
So happy to see this new video out! They are such a joy to watch. Thank you so much for all the work you put into them. The love shines through. Take care.
I dont know if I'm anthropomorphising this too much, but the fact that, after you said hi with your fingers on the tank glass, Leon cozied up in the corner with his back to you to wait for his food, makes me feel like he trusts you & feels safe with you. I dont know if that's at all accurate, but i sure hope so 🥹 Love the feisty little crabs too! ❤
I have truly enjoyed watching Leon's journey under your care. You are such a phenomenally interesting person with a huge heart, and I'm always so happy to see updates from your channel. Thank you for making content worth watching, and for all the good you do.
2:12:Reminds me a bit of my tarantula. She also preens herself., especially after eating. It's quite something to see 4 or 5 legs cleaning up, all at once.😊
Havent tuned in for a few months. Looking forward to the update. ETA: Love seeing the growing ecosystem, and the other "detours" such as the trip to the abandoned buildings and store where Smokey and the Bandit filmed.
This is my favorite video so far. All of the elements have gotten so much better- your camera work, the colors, the music, the transitions, and best of all we get to find out how everybody’s doing, yourself included. Thanks so much for taking us along on your journey. All the best to Leon, and everybody else, sending love, hugs and peaceful thoughts from Texas
We have a Jet, too! He approached me in a hotel parking lot, meowing & soaked from rain. I put him in the car where he fell asleep immediately. He didn't have a chip, was intact, & had lots of parasites. The plan was to vet him & find him a home. However, my husband became attached to him. He also bonded with one of our other cats, Governor Booper...so seven cats it is. Love your videos!
Looks like Leon and his Kawasaki dirt bike are waiting for good weather! 😉 Brady, thank you for taking time to record, edit and upload these videos - without you, we’d miss all this action and drama!
A molt would be in the near future, definitely. His shell has gotten so dark, and that blue is beautiful...Poor little crab... 45 days to recover from the trauma of the cleaning...lol
I always share Leon's videos! They make me happy...always! I very much appreciate all your content, and you've got me listening to new music that is very calming as I battle health issues. Thanks for rescuing the kitties and all the discovery and extra content! Love it all.😇❤️
You really outdid yourself with the music choices this time, Brady. I get emotional watching our dear creature friends doing their thing to a mesmerizing soundtrack. I could put it on in the background as I work in my office.
So cute that Leon does yoga! I would totally rock a road kill purse, I say it's weird & upcycled, and I love it. Surveillance cat is hilarious. Your videos are so relaxing, and you always show us such interesting stuff. Also, thank you for feeding stray cats responsibly, there's too many people out there who just feed them & that's it, that ultimately promotes the cycle of starvation, b/c by feeding the cats they get a nutrient boost, then breed, then there's a ton of kittens that need food, which is not always available. Not to mention, cats are invasive and put a huge strain on native wildlife populations. To anyone reading this who's feeding stray cats, please please spay & neuter!
Your camera work and editing just keep improving. And I really liked the music in this one. Thanks for 20 minutes of wholesome, interesting, and relaxing content ❤
He's so beautifully blue and healthy. I'm so glad to hear the littlest crab was found and still doing well. The hideout he has chosen has proven to serve him well. Even from the giant with his net and scrub brush. 😆
Glad to see you’re doing good and keeping us updated on Leon sir Brady, I really enjoy these videos since the start. Keep up the good work as I will continue watching and supporting.
I love those curious stores you can find when you go off the beaten path in some areas. I live in NC and we have a lot of those places where you can find interesting stores and people with all kinds of colorful hobbies and backgrounds just depending on where you go and who you talk to. Glad to see Leon and all the cats and aquatic friends are doing well, even the little crab! Thanks for a new video!
