Odly, this reminded me of the classic honey badger video...

I really loved hearing them talking in meters

But no rhyme.

Iambic?

    The video's incessent patter
    Reveals a trait rather amiss;
    Though charmingly exhuberent,
    And with requisite meters,
    It lacks any concept of rhyme.

Was fascinated by the bone eating worms and their symbiotic relationship with the bacteria that digest the fats and oils from bone.

Thanks for the video!

Their excitement made me so happy!

I'm guessing you're not a whale?

I mean, I'd love to have my body be so useful after I die.

Yes! Something that touched me a lot was also that they showed excitement together with some very real competence and detailed knowledge.

If you enjoy this at all, you may want to subscribe. The channel is always like this. Fantastic stuff.

Tremendous. Are there any great deep sea docs out there?

Blue Planet I and II are top quality.

They really are!!!

At least for the second one, they talked about how they invented new camera equipment and imaging techniques. Amazing work!

That was incredible! Thanks for sharing!
