"We know this because scientists has used their sciences to look at them."
This sentence summarizes all the researches mankind has done, in a nutshell
Replace "look" with "observe" and yes.
it is also the plot of dr stone
Frank?
what about math tho? Is it based on observation? Sure, addition and subtraction on natural numbers is most likely a product of "one stone and one stone are two stones" but even if we venture into basic stuff like real numbers it stops being based on nature instead it's the very abstract language we use to describe nature.

Out of all the creatures showcased on the channel, the Bubbler crab is my favorite:
- He's tidy
- has an interesting feeding process
- won't try to kill or poison you if you approach him
- makes beautiful sand art just by eating
And has balls in his mouth 5 hours per day......
Sorry, had to be said.

We need a True Facts: Zefrank episode
Imagine a guy making funny videos about animals. That is how a Zefrank do.
nuke mtv It isn’t a wink, it’s a squint in one eye. The frown is due to losing one eye and a nose in a sand bubbler crab territorial skirmish. (Or a “squirmish” if those little crustaceans creep you out.)
OMG that would be a great April Fool's day episode. True Facts about the Human: it's just randomly following ZeFrank around as he narrates watching TV and eating cereal XD
We desperately need to know how Zefrank's hidey hidey hole looks like
I’m so happy the “that is how the *insert animal here* do” joke is back
Me too. I love these
That is how the zefrank do
Okay I'll go and delete my comment now I thought I was the only one then I saw this.
Back by popular demand. The first video without that line in it was bombarded by ppl saying their own catchy quips and that is how that animal do

Thomas-tone that's the line that got me 😂
-No animals were harmed- One David was harmed in the making of this video.
Dammit David
Actually every video has david. Damn david
ZeFrank warned him, he just didn't listen. That's David for you. He never listens. Now that he's been eaten by the bird it looks like he never will. He probably thought to himself, why are all the other crabs building holes? While being eaten his last thought was, oh, that's why.
David is an idiot, so he had it coming. Friggin' David...
Well damn.
0:36 "Instead these sand bubblers are EATING the sand, and if have eaten sand before, you might be thinking... *Why tf are you eating sand?* "

It’s coarse and rough and irritating, and it gets everywhere!
I busted up laughing when he said that. I hadn’t seen any of these before. 😂
Netflix should hire you to make an entire series of this.
Yes!
Now that I would LOVE to see happen!?
Sponsor it. Literally.
Natgeo wild too. He would own the nature show channels.
pls pls pls Netflix! You buy the rights for literally anything, so why not add one more?!
He should be used to narrate all animal planet documentaries.
he's just waiting for Attenborough to step down and take his place. Thats why he's resurfaced now he's in his 90's
he would be payed bank, literally one of the funniest narrators i've ever heard
animal planet still does documentaries on animals!?
F you @cosmiclatte44 Attenborough will live forever! They need to upload his conciousness to the cloud of BIG DATA before he dies so I can still enjoy him when I'm 80 and senile!
Mack V If you like stuff like this there’s a show on netflix called “ Round Planet” it’s like True facts meets Planet Earth

Dang it, new David!
I would pay for a documentary series with this dude
Jokes aside, this is a really interesting animal that I've not seen before
@@cheddabunny9506 Yes and I've never known there was a crab that did these cool things. Nor have I ever seen those leftover balls of sand on the beach.
I know, right?! I’ve never heard of this crab before, either. I’m not sure whether I’ve ever seen the little sand balls or not. They seem sort of familiar. But I don’t even know whether these crabs would be found on the beaches I’ve been to in my life-mostly NY and FL.
Cali, never heard of or seen these fuckers before.
@@cheddabunny9506 theres no crabs at my beach
This channel has brought a lot of facts and animals to my attention that I'd not heard or seen before.

Till you realize that the crab eats them.
"Henry, pictured here with a coin so you get a sense of how rich he is..."
Notice it’s a rupee, worth less than a peso. 😂
As a scientist who often uses coins for scale on photos, that line was the one that caught me by surprise and really cracked me up.
Dudemon It’s called a “paraprosdokian.” I’m not kidding. Look it up. It’s a certain kind of joke in which the humor comes from misdirection and the surprise at the end.
@@peacefuljeffrey -- Yup. It's one of my favourite forms of humour, if done cleverly. It can have similarities to punning, as it often relies on multiple meanings of a word, too.
he is very very rich
I live in southern Thailand and often see these crabs and their artwork. I never knew until today what they were called and exactly what they were doing. Thanks!
" It can get hard to tell what balls had been inside whose mouth already"
I beg your pardon!! 😂

"David, on the other hand is a total idiot"

i felt incredibly attacked by that exact sentence since one of my nicknames IS david-
Ahh, you must like playing scratchy-scratchy in the sand then, I presume.

This man is a national treasure. I can't count the number of times my day was made substantially better by this channel.
Not since David Attenborough, have I found the natural world so strange and exciting. I guess that's what a ZeFrank do.
Jonathan Schmidt wait... is he throwing shade? Is that why all the dumb animals are named “David”!?
@@Survive1llc Although a ZeFrank can be that clever in his natural environment (if you thought an octopus can ink, well you just haven't seen a ZeFrank feeling frisky in the comments), he is generally too civil and benign a creature to be that cruel. Besides, saying "David" is just funny.
The fact that you haven't been offered a job doing this for nature programs is just criminal.
What about BBC?
@@rockysolid4200 has he been on the BBC?
Perhaps he has been offered and refused. Lets be real if this ended up on a real network they would over manage it and turn it into weak sauce. Also ZeFrank can get a little risqué the networks would squash that. Maybe ZeFrank chooses to keep his independence and the purity of the show. The networks do know about him remember the cat food commercials he did?
