Heya nature lovers. Join this channel to support me and get access to perks: youtube.com/channel/UCG5_BraUMNcluZPZ__oOeKg/join Additional note: this video is a little old and I know the music choice and narration style isn’t perfect - but I value any feedback! :) Just know that I’m aware this film is far from perfect and I’m hoping to remake it in line with the quality of my newer films soon!

Deep-sea creatures: Have you noticed that the farther you go up, the weirder the creatures get, and the ones on land are just bizarre!
-
Every animal is understandable...... But then there's mosquitoes
-
The fact that a creature can live to 500 years in darkness is insane to me
-
I have actually googled “relaxing shark documentaries” before because I love sharks but don’t enjoy the way that most documentaries use fear as the primary undertone. So happy to have found you! I’m getting all my relaxing deep sea content needs met rn
-
I guess appearances don't matter when it's that dark. They've just stopped trying.

This is the type of video you see at 3am and go "huh, that looks interesting" so you click on it. And it's amazing. 3am YouTube is the best feeling. Add in some rain and you've got a perfect 3am.

Hello, I'm an autistic girl from Brazil, and I'm very very fond of sharks, specially sleeper ones. I write this to thank you very much about those marine biology and deep sea videos, they help me calm down when I'm too anxious and deal with my sleeping problems. Thank you very much! Please keep doing those incredible videos!!!

I clicked on the video because of the sharks, I stayed because of the voice. My god, you have such a calm, kind, calming voice.

I used to have these horrible nightmares of sharks despite never having a traumatic experience. So one night I came across a fascinating documentary, not as relaxing as this one, that told the story of a great white sharks life from a pup to an adult. It featured the incredible lengths of how hard it is for them to survive and drove the point home that the predator wasn't born over night. It actually made me sympathetic enough I was rooting for him when he finally caught a seal. After that I never had another shark nightmare. They are predators that need to be respected but they are also living creatures deserving to exist like any other species.

This guy is that one kid who actually enjoys making a project for school.

All sharks no matter what part of the ocean they live are amazing animals and must be protected. Without them the world’s oceans would be a much sadder place.
-
Pretty scary to think that without that camera light, it’d be pitch black down there with those massive sharks swimming around you 😖
-
You should've mentioned how the Cookie Cutter shark almost caused a nuclear war during the cold War, when it tore chunks out of US and Soviet submarines. One day one of them attacked the radar tower, and the US sub thought it must have been some sort of Soviet attack

not enough time was given to my boy, the goblin shark

sharks are truly amazing creatures, its absolutely astonishing how all the variates of sharks have evolved to be so different than one another. It's extremely sad that most people dont take the time to understand these fascinating animals.
-
I wanted to be a diver a long time ago before my lungs got into the habit of collapsing, your videos have helped me live a little of that life I didn't get. So thank you :)
-
me: has a huge fear of the ocean and sea animals also me: “this video looks interesting.”
-
I've noticed that anything and everything gets creepier the deeper you go, not just sharks.
-
Was there a bunch of parts in this with the screen blurred out for anyone else? Can’t imagine what could happen in a shark documentary that requires censorship like that
