Roly-polys were my favorite "bug" as a kid. When a really underappreciated biology teacher corrected me and said "They're actually isopods" I got a huge laugh out of her when I said "ok, ISOPODS are my favorite insect!"
Roly-polys were fun little things when I was a child. I don't think I would have appreciated the wonder of a 2.5 foot Roly-poly though. Rather, I think I'd have given that a good deal of space. And I mean a good deal...
@@wickedcabinboy I still love seeing pillbugs crawling around when I pick up a brink from a wet area. They are what the isopods in the ocean would be if they weren't either parasites or predators and were tinier.
We called them potato bugs. But I guess there is an actual potato bug that's different. But I would play with them as a kid too. Make them roll into a ball, but I didn't kill them. Little did I know I was probably scaring them. I'm sorry potato bug that wasn't really a potato bug.......
I love this channel so much, it’s one of the only channels about sea life that I don’t find overwhelming and loud and it makes me so happy because of my hyper fixation on sea life
@@friedcalamari4929 it's only repulsive in an edible way for other species not in biological and anatomy senses Meaning none of them is disgusting within themselves if you can understand alternatives perspectives Land bugs are the same as sea bugs by increasing their numbers to be a swarm of food sources but only a few modifications that mix with their roles/adaptation in nature no matter what they do to to trigger opinions on them And i must say house cockroachs aren't even natural nasty Urban countries brought them out of Africa with slaves without knowing unknown visitors had a free ride and made them pests
I struggle with crippling migraines that keep me from doing much of anything. This channel has some of the only things i can watch and listen to during my migraine episodes. Thank you for keeping me company during some of the most painful and isolating moments in my life.
I just love your narration voice. It’s the perfect amount of inflection, an accent, and content. Your voice is perfect and your videos are part of my go to bedtime routine. So calming!
They're like mushrooms of the sea. They don't let the stuff pile up at the bottom! And the giant isopod is so cute to me, so is the sea CUCUMBER. I love them all, such a strange and wonderful thing to see. Do you ever think, "Well, where the heck did this come from"? Heh heh heh.....
They’re strangely charming creatures aren’t they? Certainly there’s something very unique and captivating about the way they look and move and eat and behave. The closest we’ll come to seeing how life on other planets might behave.
Fun fact for anyone scrolling by: insects actually are a group of terrestrial crustaceans and are way closer to tadpole shrimp or a crab that to say, a millipede or a spider. Also tadpole shrimp are underrated, they’re kinda like horseshoe crabs (not even a crustacean btw, closer to spiders) and some have 3 eyes
The more i watch these series, the more i am sure to be witnessing the new Sir David Attenborough in his beginners shoes i must say you have a great potential to reach out and share your passion with the public and this NWF is a gift and few have it the quality you are offering us it is always a very nice experience to watch your videos pls keep on course you are doing great
I love your voice you put me to sleep so gorgeously. I can close my eyes and know just what is happening because of how great you are with description and detail. I’m so happy I found your channel :)
hey dude im in the exact same boat as you with the sleeping lmfao, thought id ask if you know any other channels that have the same vibe as ive watched literally every NWF video :'(
@@astrixgaming3994 of course! If you like scary stories you should check out swamp dweller, he has such a peaceful vibe and voice and can take you into sleep very quickly and the stories he tells are pretty cool, I also listen to rain as I sleep and it helps a lot, I usually put on a relaxing video and then have rain come on after. You could check out bbc and like David Attenborough he’s very great to fall asleep too :)
The best time and place to watch these videos is at night while in a pitch black room! Makes it feel like you're in an aquarium and you're watching one of those short films you would see play repeatedly in an aquarium or a museum.
I keep telling people that lobsters are sea cockroaches... They aren't happy about it for some reason, especially when they're eating one... more for me.
I love isopods! They’re just so different. My workplace often has little isopods just walking through the hallways at night, and I pick them up and let them go in the gardens whenever I find them. No idea where they are coming from or how they are getting into the building, but I am glad whenever I can save them before their book lungs dry out and they die. I would love to see a giant marine isopod in person!
I wanna know what eats those giant isopods. . . I've yet to see one predated on camera. They've got to be pretty rich in nutrients and relatively easy to find if your sensory organs are attuned to whale falls. . . Large cephalopods could take a crack but I doubt there's to many fish species that are fast enough, and I can't see many abyssal sharks having teeth designed for tackling them. . .
if you could make your voice a bit louder or the background music a bit quieter. Your narrating is excellent and I feel you should let it shine a bit more. Thank you for the great videos!
I really love this channel. During the day when I cant get my son to fall asleep I play one of your videos. He falls asleep before the video even ends faithfully 💕 thank you for your content
The title of this one makes me laugh, because it's my exact excuse for not eating lobster, crab and shrimp. 'Look at them! They're just big bugs that live in the ocean! Jungle people eat tarantulas and say it tastes like crab! Exoskeletons, antennas, eyes on stalks! Claws! They're giant sized insects that can breathe underwater! That's what they are! I am NOT eating that!' ...I've run that argument ever since I got sick from some bad seafood 20 years ago or so. And I don't care what people say. I am not ever gonna eat an ocean bug. That just ain't happening.
@@leonhardable Hey - that's nice to know. What an awful fate for any creature, regardless of how much they give me the heeby-jeebies. Boiling a critter alive is just flat out inhumane and uncalled for. I don't even wanna think about how some Sushi type chefs deal with an octopus. Octopuses...Octopi...are intelligent creatures - their moods are even easy to determine because their entire body language and coloration will reflect it. Angry, pensive, curious, frightened, chillin,' an octopus displays how it's feeling by the texture and coloration it chooses to display in the moment. These are complex, thinking animals who absolutely feel fear and pain, and your average sea food chef murders them in terrible ways. Sushi chefs can be extremely cruel to them when 'prepping' them to be rolled up with seaweed and rice. I hate it. They're such smart, amiable little creatures when they get to know someone. This is also why I don't eat beef and pork any more; cows and pigs are actually pretty cool animals. They don't deserve what happens to them in the slaughterhouses. I still eat chicken and turkey. I know that both can be cute lil' pets, but I gotta eat, and I know I could kill and clean one if I had to. I couldn't kill a cow or pig if you handed me a shotgun to do it with. Their eyes speak to me. I know they like scritches and pettings and belly rubs and cuddles and being talked to gently. Cows like music too. They're MASSIVE when you stand next to one, but they're somehow harmless and timid despite their size. I do break down and eat the occasional steak, or sausage, or hot dog, and oh my gawd a bacon cheeseburger is one of God's greatest gifts to a hungry person, so I won't claim innocence here. Still, I would never order something that gets yanked from his comfy tank while he's laid up chillin' and thrown directly into a pot of salted, boiling water. They thrash and bang against the pot for a few seconds, too. I've seen it. It's not possible to be a kind person, and not feel horrified at the entire concept of 'veal.' No thank you. Oh - lamb and goat are absolutely off the list too. As are Oxtails. Cuz I ain't eating anything that hangs of a giant bovine's ass, quite frankly.
Man i love this channel, ive been here since before yt algorthim took its hits, and man, Youre great, i absolutely love watching your videos and you inspire me to go out and do things, like hike, journey, backpack or whatever, you make me want to learn man, youre completely and utterly awesome!!!
This has really made my day!! It’s brilliant to hear you enjoy my videos, and I’m so glad you’re getting out there and experiencing the natural world first-hand. Where have you travelled to so far?
Bioluminescence is fascinating , they were going to try to use it inside the human brain to see cancer cells or something - don’t quote me on it being cancer but I remember them trying and that the red colour was working the best
Dungeness crabs are my favorite. I live in Oregon and I love driving 40 minutes to the coast from Benton County and go to Waldport and catch dungeness crabs at low tide. Not just with a crab cage but with my bare hands and a flashlight at light and tall rain boots. I just grab them around the rocks or walking around in the sand in low tide at night in knee deep water. It's so fun. And you see all sorts of other critters in the ecosystem.
I'm so glad I found your channel your videos are always so interesting! You should make longer documentary style videos, the 10 minute ones go by so fast
I'm so grateful that this channel fills every second of narration with something awesome instead of filling in with "they've been around for millions of years" or "they evolved from" I have nothing against evolution but to hear just straight facts is very relaxing for a change. He can mention their changes and evolution without making it feel like completely speculative mumbo jumbo.
Great video, and a brilliant channel! Only recently found your videos and I'm so glad I did. Your presentation style is clear, informative and so calming! It's so lovely to be able to re-familiarise myself with all the things I've half-forgotten from university 😅 Keep up the good work! I'm looking forward to the next upload :)
Thank you so much, your comment made my day. Where did you go to study at University? And how was it? I start my own Marine Biology course next Monday at Southampton which I’m incredibly excited about, especially because the oceans have been an obsession of mine for years.
@@NaturalWorldFacts hey, you're welcome! It's so good to see someone around my age who also has an obsession with the marine world :) I went to Hull, and it was pretty fun! I enjoyed it a lot! I spent a lot of time on field trips to the rocky East Yorkshire coast, so your recent video on rock pools really made me smile! Best of luck at Southampton, I know you're gonna do great there! You've got so much passion for the oceans and the life within them!
@Bee Hill Likewise, it’s really lovely to hear from another ocean lover. It’s great that Hull went well, and I’m very jealous of your East Yorkshire field-trip. I’ve been there a few times on account of my family being from around there, and I simply adore rock-pools so my fingers are crossed for a relevant module or trip haha! I’m incredibly excited to see what the future brings when I head down there this weekend to Southampton, I’ll try to document some of it on this channel if I can! Thanks for the support, I’ve loved marine life since I was a kid, so your shared passion really makes me smile :)
@@NaturalWorldFacts how's the course going? I hope covid hasn't interfered with your studies!, Marine biology is such an interesting subject, I'm studying it in my schooling and happy to say it's something I'm actually able to enjoy!
"The only truly marine insects living far from the shore is the sea skater or Halobates. But even they do not live in the water. The sea skater lives on the surface, pretty much like they do on freshwater lakes. They scoot around, feeding on trapped insects and dead organisms."
Why is it that people, me included, go AHHH a tiny harmless spider on land, but ask where's the butter for crustaceans? I see those giant spider crabs and wonder if they are edible and if I could get one of those legs between a crazy long sub roll with some extra lemon and butter. I see a tiny spider and wonder if it is worth breaking my lease and move out of my apartment.
If you ever go diving on certain reefs you can hear the clicking all around you. There don't have to be many, since they're so loud and sound travels much further and much faster in water than on land.
brother, i am not native of English, i greatly thank you.your speech goes slowly that is helping me greatly to clear my mind barriers. however Great work,keep going ahead.
I agree with the other comments, you have a very nice speaking voice that is pleasant to listen to. If I may ask a strange question, when human bodies sink to the bottom of the sea (for whatever reason) do they get eaten up by these crustaceans with only the bones remaining?
