No, don’t sit down. As a professional biologist for the last 30+ years, I love your energy and approach to engaging people with this content. Keep it up.
As an Australian who is taught about how dangerous everything is and how you should never touch anything, it's insane to me that someone would just pick up a blue ringed octopus like were you not taught that will paralyse you within 3 hours?
Im born and raised in the US and live in a land locked state (although im only a few hour drive from the ocean) and even I was taught how dangerous the ocean was by the time I was like 6. Like how are you not cautious around any ocean related things 😭😭😭
@@bean3041 we're taught not to fuck with anything wild. Don't touch it, don't chase it, don't eat it,. Don't stick your hand down holes, don't go wading bare foot if you can't see the bottom, etc etc. The number of videos I see of people just reaching down a dark hole with no idea what's down there.
Yeah, the mon'o'war is the same thing as a blue bottle. I'm trying to imagine anyone looking at that and thinking, "woah. I should pick that up and get a closer look!". Although I did know someone who went into a wombat hole as a kid, good thing it was empty. Wombats will back you out, and their butts can write off a car. Idiot tax?
I grew up in Minnesota, which besides the great lakes, we are landlocked by the ocean and besides Alaska we are one of the northernmost states. While it still gets up in the 100s°F during the summer, it gets well below negatives in the winter. Theres really only a couple venomous creatures that live in the very southernmost part of the state, like brown recluses and one type of rattlesnake I think. Most other venomous creatures can't survive the cold temperatures i think. We do know about creatures with teeth though, like fish and snapping turtles and mammals in general. Plenty of creatures with sharp teeth live around and you're generally taught growing up not to stick your hands and feet places they could get chomped on, like holes in either water or land or in trees. Children there are also generally taught "if you don't know what something is, don't touch it", but more just in an injury sense and less in a chance you'll be poisoned sense. More disfigurement and less death ig. When I moved to Texas as a teen, apparently all the lessons about what wants to kill you happened in preK and elementary school, I missed that ;(
@@gwendolynrobinson3900 yeah, I grew up in a major city, in a fairly wealthy suburb (Australia only has suburbs), and we literally had people come in to school every single year to explain various extremely dangerous creatures that all lived within walking distance from our school (my city has huge wetland chains, so you're almost always less than a kilometre away from a massive lake). Like we would literally be told "This is a tiger snake. They sleep on the footpaths in the summer. Don't ever walk in long grass, or you will get bitten. These are Redbacks. You will find them everywhere. Literally. They will crawl up your sinks and hide in your jackets. Be careful." You get the idea. We're taught about almost everything that can hurt us in explicit detail, and almost everyone knows some kind of snake bite first aid. People take it real seriously here.
Please don’t try to be like other RUclipsrs. Your energy is part of what makes you engaging. Literally one of my favorite educational channels, along with Casual Geographic. Please keep being yourselves. 😂❤
Personally, I like this way of education on animals. It’s not entirely in depth but when you want to, you get in depth and it’s always interesting. The “aggressive excitement” you have makes the content much more engaging and fun to watch. Just keep doing what you’re doing and have fun with it. It’s your channel, be a new generations zoologist like Steve was to most of us. It’s good to see someone genuinely excited about their passion.
yeah that's how steve irwin said he liked to do his content. If the person teaching is excited about what they are doing then so the person watching is more likely to be when watching it.
So true, if half my teachers were even close to being this passionate and excited about what they’re teaching us about I would pay attention a shit ton more.
I wanted to be a Zoologist growing up, but somehow ended up a software engineer. I was very passionate about wildlife, but now instead I live vicariously through these videos.
Invest 20% of yearly income into SCHD & VOO for a couple of years and you’ll be able to retire and afford to live freely. Become that zoologist without any restrictions
I am currently goind through the same thing, wanted to be a Vet and am currently courses for it, but I don't feel like it anymore and want to become a software engineer lmao
I think a series/video where you rank your favorite animals of a certain taxonomic class or just rank your favorite animals in general would be pretty fun to watch, and it seems like less research than other long form content. Also I love the energy you have standing it’s so fun and unique!
That first one with the octopus freaked me out. We get them were i live and I've seen several while diving. You can keep people alive with artificial breathing divices until the toxin wears off as the toxins don't stop your heart. So yes, people who die from them often do so completely awake and aware they are suffocating.
My grandpa used to be in the Navy, and they had something happen with a Man-O-War (I think it got tangled in some part of the ship). He accidentally brushed his thumb against it when they brought it on board (for whatever reason) and got stung. He said the pain was bad enough that he wanted to cut his finger off to make it stop. So that's what he did.
@agneshunyady3314 I don't know man, this was like 40 years before I was born. Probably not because he had to deal with a severed thumb pretty much immediately afterwards
I absolutely love the "hectic" and excited vibe, so please don't sit down! You do the candid and aggressive explanation so well that's what I stayed for. I definitely think you should continue with it.
I really like it too -- it's very energetic and keeps my attention! :D That said, I was thinking if she did do a 'sitting down' video, it should be about something like hibernation, or different ways species have evolved to sleep (or something equivalent). Just a thought.
@540マンモス just insinuating that it simulates chaotic but not really, because she gets to the point and has a stucture. Just an expressive choice to emphasize the "hectic" flare of her videos.
I was lying down watching RUclips and I heard a clicking sound near me. I was trying to ignore it when suddenly a large ugly beetle started crawling on me. When the image on the screen beside her in these videos changes there is that same sound. I really don't like this very much. It must be distracting for other viewers.
@Gordon Welcher um well it seems to be intentional and tbh I didn't even notice and after I did notice it did not bother me. Think that is a person to person thing.
You’re a zoologist, talk about whatever the heck you want about any and all topics that interest you that you don’t have to think about other than just being excited about it. Get random, go off topic and circle back again, just show us you genuinely nerding out on your passions. You’re a pleasure to watch!
As someone with ADHD, I can't just sit down and watch something. I have to constantly be doing other stuff, and so I miss 90% of what I'm watching(listening). But because these videos are all over the place and so hyper, it makes it a lot easier for me to take it in even when I'm doing other stuff. It's so nice actually to be able to not have to see or hear the same thing 100 times before I really take it in lmao
Saaame. Usually I struggle to tell my partner what I "learned" watching youtube. But if straight up actually can remember alot more to coherently retell from her videos without having to fill in woth "something like this and I mightve missed something 😂"
Your energy is why me and many others watch you over all the other zoology channels. You remind me of older YT creators because you use simple graphics and have a lot of energy, rather than relying on editing in a clip from a show/movie or airhorn every 3 seconds.
In some places in Australia we call man O war's "Blue Bottles" When ever your at the beach (at least the ones I go to) its an unspoken rule that if you see one, you take a stick or shell and draw a circle around the whole thing including all the tenticals/tendrals. Some absolute angels will walk around and pick them up (with protection) and put them into buckets before releasing then or safly disposing of them.
@catiesmith6599 cool ways to protect people, bless the ones that bring the equipment to put ‘em back hey. I’m gonna steal the circle idea to incorporate. I’ve always learnt to cover them with a noticeable hump of sand, so if you see a mound of sand don’t be tempted for a spicey jump or kick. I’d be interested to know where abouts in Australia you’re at? Little cultural niches of how to deal with blue bottles, I’m on the Mid North Coast, NSW.
@@mattywest8019 yep! If you Google blue bottle jelly’s the Portuguese Man’O War comes up. As far as I know there are no jellyfish that are blue/purple. That’s how I figured I was stung by one.
My feedback as a frequent viewer: stay standing! It fits your format and allows you to project your passion and energy for the subject. Also, on the idea of other formats, I like the idea of a 'my favourite animals' series where you just tell us everything you know about a particular species or genus and why you find them so interesting. Other than that, keep it up!
Nah…nah nah fuck that, this is the internet do the opposite. Now that you’ve been given constructive feedback, rebel and engage in maximum pettiness. Next vid take a seat, have a deep breath and a sip of something strong enough to cause discomfort and explain why moths lamp.
Your standing is perfectly fine, I love the ADHD energy, it makes me feel less like a fruit cake when i do the same thing about my favorite subjects. And your tangents are fun and awesome, and i would love to see more tangents, so honestly picking a species or group of species to just info dump all of what you know on would be super cool!
Keep standing, start a Patreon! Even if it’s just a way to support you without perks. Your energy is what makes you unique, I think if you were sitting you’d be either subdued or smacking yourself with your flailing arms. 😊
Ok several points, here we go. First: You're a natural, no fear or nervousness in front of the camera, perhaps it's from playing on stage in a rock band (I'm assuming) but regardless you have great confidence and that is crucial! Second: You know your stuff, anyone that watches an episode comes away knowing more than they did before they watched it. Third: Your delivery is unique, funny, and entertaining. Your timing and placement of one liners and profanity is your meal ticket. Coming from a RUclips addict such as myself I can honestly say I've never seen a "teacher" speak the way you do and it's refreshing and delightful. If my teachers/professors taught lessons with your voculary I would've been entertained enough to pay more attention! Oh and you are very pleasing on the eyes, most educational vids I watch have an elderly (typically obese) professor delivering a Ben Stine monolog which almost puts one to sleep. You are on your game young lady and I think you found your calling. Now as for inspiration for a vid here ya go...were dinosaurs on Earth at the same time as humans? A lot of vids, providing evidence, out there saying people shared the land with those giant terrifying lizards (or birds). I'd like to hear your take on that. Anywho you rock, love your channel and keep up the great work =)
I love the energy of your standing format. It feels more like having a conversation with you rather than you just sitting & reading a script. As for ideas I enjoyed the tattoo video & always enjoy hearing you talk about your experiences working with animals.
Also, the more movement you're able to have the better, its that chaotic energy thats really drawn a lot of people in. As far as any feedback i could give, as a musician and audio engineer, look into a hypercardiod microphone like the Shure beta 87A. They have a super tight pattern so itll pick up less room noise and make your life easier in editing without going through the hassle of sound proofing a room
Woot! I have a degree in zoology so I'm excited to see youtubers who specialize in it too! Educate the masses! You have a pretty chill but chipper personality so you're fun to listen to. I think youtube recommended you to me since I watch Casual Geographic too. So instant subscription!
I would suggest when you're starting to get fatigued, look through suggestions and pick whichever one actually sounds fun to you, even if it isn't the most requested. You're going to be more motivated to do it, plus your energy (which people love just as much as your content) will get the folks who didn't even request it invested in the content. Thank you for making these videos, btw. It's like Zoobooks, but for grown ups
The first blue ringed octopus I saw , was when I was 13 and it came out from under a ledge in the small rock pool I was sitting in . I got out carefully as to not scare it. Though that particular reef had a lot of deadly creatures, stone fish, cone fish , sharks and the blue ringed octopus. It also had a lot of "friendly" creatures Australia is a great place to live :)
@@FishFactInc. luckily that's one creature that didn't live in the area I was in. Everything could be seen easier than that jellyfish, I don't like near invisible deadly creatures
@@tanie3543 yeah, it's good for that, friggin love it. And if you don't like something, fuck it off. Which I will have to do if the little hands hang around. Don't waste time or money on crap I don't like.
The best, long lived channels I subscribe to have a few things in common: a person who is at least somewhat passionate about the subjects of their videos, who presents that subject in a natural way, and who is willing to takes breaks or change things up (temporarily or permanently) based on their own interests and needs. You've got a great channel, it's growing amazingly and that growth is well deserved. Don't let the algorithm and analytics steal your mental health.
I love this format with your magic picture frame. I love how excited you get about certain things. This is great content and I learn a lot from watching you!
Definitely would like “story time” videos, about your life and experiences, especially considering your adventurous life at the Cheetah reserve. I think it would be an easy regular series you can come up with without doing research
The editing in these videos is so good. The memes never overstay their welcome, and they blend into the content without breaking the flow of the video at all.
I had a Man ‘o War close encounter on my honeymoon in the Fl Keys while spearfishing, and I was extremely lucky somehow - I was near the surface and noticed blue strings moving across my mask, almost like my own hair would do, I barely registered it moments before I surfaced about 12-14 inches from the floating balloon of pain, and once I recognized what I was seeing, I swam backwards as quickly as possible without ever engaging with a single stinging part. I had a wetsuit on but no gloves, so I know it was absolute chance that I wasn’t stung on my face, considering it was touching my mask glass before I knew what it was! I was way more panicked over the MoW than any shark I’ve seen while diving or snorkeling. Also, love your videos! Your delivery is awesome and engaging and funny, definitely a great style for your content! You could mix up the standing/sitting if you wanted, but it is definitely up to you! If you try it and don’t like it, at least you’ll know!
Woah you're lucky! Here in Australia we call the bluebottles and have heaps of warnings about them during the times of year when they become numerous on some of our eastern beaches.
“I think I’d be more calm if I was sitting and that’s not necessarily the vibe I’m going for” had me cackling in the middle of the night 😂 definitely explains the vibes here
Dude, whatever ya decide to do just keep being you, your energy and passion for animals mixed with the editing style is really enjoyable and interesting to watch
I love the way that you describe animals and how they can effect people handle them. I was bitten by an octopus that picked up from a tidal pool in California. It didn't hurt very much when it first started chewing on me, but when the venom hit, it really burned. The top of my hand swelled up and numbness spread from my hand up my arm reaching my neck. I had mild hallucinations for a few hours, got hella tired and took a deep nap for two hour. When I woke up, it felt like my lungs ached and breathing deeply didn't feel good. The parts that had been numb when I fell asleep hurt. The park rangers were scratching thier heads hypothesizing about what the venom was doing to me, while they ate the breakfast that my mom was serving. The bite took 2 weeks to heal and I have a bump on the tendon on my hand under the bite mark. Later, my mom told me that she didn't take me to the emergency room, because she didn't want to waste an entire day of her vacation at the hospital. I don't know if that is what venom from an octopus usually does, but it is what I experienced. It was my fault for picking up exotic wild animals. I love your channel. 😁
I echo the reply here. It’s actually really on your mom for not taking care of her child like a parent should. It’s kind of weird how other animals have this instinctual feeling to run away from brightly colored things, but not us humans. I feel like even if you’re an adult you kind of just want to pick it up. not saying you should, lol, but some of the stuff looks so vivid and cool. But if you’re a little kid, you definitely wanted to pick up the colorful animal.
@@brandonkennedy4160 My mother is a person who is entertained by the suffering of others. Her children were no exception. The more dramatic and extreme the event is, the happier she is as long as it isn't an inconvenience to her. My mother encouraged recklessness in those around her and was excited by drama and stories that came from them. She would regale people with the stories injuries, suffering and near death experiences of her children, but she didn't do anything to prevent it, she encouraged us to put ourselves in danger, but she never took the risks herself. She took credit for our accomplishments as well. She bragged about me doing emergency hospice work for her friend when I was 14 years old for her friend who was dying was advanced breast cancer. At 14 years old, I was stranded in a one room, wood heated ( the wood heater was defective and it was almost impossible to keep the fire going well enough to keep the room warm )cabin with a weakened terminally ill, oxygen dependent women, in a snow storm for three days. The power went out. She told me that if she fell asleep with out the oxygen that she would die. I spent the night listening to her gasp for breath , knowing that it would be up to me to choose what to do with this woman's body is she couldn't keep herself awake until the power came back on. When the storm broke and my parents were able to retrieve me, I was proud of myself for having the skill to manage a temperamental and staying calm. I was also traumatized. I cried all the way home while my mother ignored me. My mother should have been the one to help her terminally ill friend. She wanted me to pick up that octopus, but would never have done it herself. I have seen siblings lit on fire, broken bones from accidents that could have been prevented and hospitalizations for illnesses that she allowed to become advanced before taking us for medical care. She is psychopath and a horrible person who shouldn't be trusted with a gold fish.
Keep standing… I personally love how you give off a bit of an anxious rambling kinda vibe. Some channels are that slow, laid back calm, soothing voice, with interesting facts… then there’s channels where it’s borderline sensory overload with facts, information, and memes.
Love the teaching format and style. Also love the skit videos. For your 'research break' casual episodes you could introduce a spiny chair and do a 'which would win in a fight' for prehistoric or current creatures, just listing off their advantages and capabilities. Or a 'this month's/week's favorite animal' with a run down of interesting facts (would be easy to pre-film too)
Your channel is growing at a criminally high rate. It proves people wanna learn. Combine that with your energy and that fire outro and you got perfection.
100% keep standing because it sounds and feels just like a really enthusiastic school presentation and i’m loving the vibe. also def start a patreon to get that incentive to keep researching and hopefully prevent or push off burnout a little and honestly girl only give us videos that YOU wanna spend time researching ok? that’s the only way to truly stay passionate about making this content ya know? anyway love ya good luck hun bun
I'm a little late to the party here as I only recently found your channel, but I love your format! Your enthusiasm is flying off the screen and I love how you can convey so much information at a rapid pace while managing to keep our attention really well. Your inflection is pretty unique and I think that's part of the reason why you don't require long pauses to let information sink in. I dunno, I'm probably overanalysing XD but to sum it up: love your channel! The way you do this is awesome :)
Your pace and rhythm to presenting is goddamn perfect to not be dull and monotonous but not overwhelming fast and the editing is perfectly synced, a stumbled upon video highly surprising and fun!
No don't sit down! As many other people have already said, your energy is so wonderful! It makes me excited and alert and READY to learn!!! If you are looking for something to do that doesn't need to be researched maybe you can just pick some of your favorite animals and tell us all about why you love them. Your passion is definitely what makes the videos entertaining. So just hearing your opinions would be awesome too! The FAQ video would also be interesting or maybe a video or two on your experience and education. Keep up the amazing work, you have been an absolute pleasure get to know so far! 🤗
I understand that this is an older video, but I'm glad that you decided to keep standing. The way you are so animated while talking is part of what drew me to subscribe to this channel. That, and as I mentioned on a different video, you explain things in a way that a non-scientific person like me can understand.
The standing vibe and energy you have when talking about the stuff youre passionate about it super enjoyable. Also the closed captions are super helpful and make watching things much nicer and enjoyable to watch and pay attention to. Thank you so much for that, from both me and my girlfriend :)
You’ve quickly become one of my favorite zoology content creators, your sense of humor and energy are so fun to watch alongside really interesting information. I say make the Patreon, you deserve to get that bag girl lol
Hi, this is the first of your videos I've encountered and just wanted to say how fantastic your presentation style is - I'm sure you've heard it before, but it's giving me *peak* Jenna Marbles energy - wholesome, energetic, straightforward and humorous. With the addition of informative - Brilliant.
This is the first of your videos I have watched and I am subbing. I like your energy, editing, and personality. If standing makes you feel good then keep it up! Great job.
DONT SIT. I love your unique chaotic vibe!!! Would doing videos where you talk about your favorite animals (about why you like them doesn’t have to be informative) or some sort of story time of sorts where you talk about what happened during your time with the cheetahs or studying zoology? It’s also totally okay to take a week off without a RUclips/“long form”/“horizontal” video once a month of so!
I discovered you recently. Im a STEM person but more on the tech side. I love learning things though. I LOVE your style and energy. I could listen to you talk for HOURS (no exaggeration lol). I know you and your channel are destined for success!
Feedback: Standing is great. The standing is part of what makes both yours and Milo's channels so interesting; it helps keep both of you super high energy and really gives the vibe of "what if your professors were cool and awesome". Also, I wouldn't want you to have to redo your set; Diversification: Low-hanging fruits would be 'wtf can I find in my backyard/local park', tier list videos, rants about cheetahs, maybe a cheetah myth video, and reactions to other people's scare videos (i.e. AVNJ and Megalodon videos but for weirder things), or reactions to other people's good videos (i.e. Sam o'Nella's classification video), tell us what a day in the life at the cheetah reserve was like, fun facts about creatures with no context, literally anything you're passionate enough to have this kind of energy about would make an amazing video.
I love how active you are with your community in asking for advice and preferences. My two cents tho, always do whatever YOU think is best, you’ve built a following because you’re really good at what you do. Format and presentation style are obviously important, and I understand wanting to try different ones out, but as long as the crazy animal facts keep coming, I’ll watch a zoomed in video of just your nose for all I care. Your vocal cadence is what really entertains me and keeps me interested, and I’m sure many others are the same way. I do like the ‘personal’ feeling of these types of vids don’t get me wrong, but I also don’t want you to think you need to be on camera 24/7 and super energetic to entertain us
You and your editor truly are the dream team 😂 Edit: Just got to the end 1. Standing up helps with the sense of urgency and makes it feel like a lively presentation! So mark me down for anti-sit. 2. I'm down for a patreon. Maybe you could do some interviews with some animal experts? You look to be getting a sizeable following, so you might be able to get in contact with some neat eggheads and pick their brains? 3. For low impact content, maybe you can (for lack of a better off-the-cuff idea) do some wild animal video reactions. There are new ones popping up all the time 😊
Your "guessing" about the colonising has recently been recreated in a lab using a species of algae. The single cells were "threatened" into clustering together to become a multicellular mass. I'm not even into biology but this legend of perfected abruptness has drawn me into the subject. Keep on rocking Lindsay!!!
man nice comment.. but that name.. im at the part of the video where she's trying to pronounce "apososmemmemmtiicmsm".. that, with your name... js took me aback 💀
@@shronkler1994 Common misconception. The "Elizabeth" is usually enough for people to realise it's a joke and I usually get thanked for it after people google it.
Please keep standing on business Lindsay. Your work as a RUclips educator is unmatched, me along with millions of others appreciate your content deeply for your one of a kind energy. And also I think it’s funny how you play with the proportion of the backgrounds.
Stand like a champ, girl! You have so much energy, I love how you sway, bounce and thrown tone of gestures in it. You are making my day just being yourself, not to mention amazing knowledge you share. As for topics, I have no idea really except maybe listening about things you are passionate about.
Honestly, just do whatever you feel most comfortable with. Not all RUclipsrs sit down and they still have amazing content so you just do you and know that we'll be here for you no matter what!
I love your energy. Keep standing. Also, I honestly like the prehistoric videos you make. It's just fun learning about animals that aren't here that were. It puts a perspective on things. Things about insane animals like these would be great ideas too.
I just discovered your channel a week ago. Your style of teaching is quite effective and engaging. I used to teach deaf people for a living in my early 20's, and you use similar tactics that I used, straightforward, matter-of-fact, and funny. I love zoology and paleontology as separate subjects, and I love that your content presents both disciplines harmoniously. Keep up the good work! Let us know when you start a Patreon.
Do whatever is comfortable for you - but personally, I would say you standing allows for a natural energy and excitement in your nonverbal presentation. Your vibes and passion are freaking awesome and we love your animated movements. Plus you're raw af with your new information delivery while applying a educational repetition to your recurring backbone theses, which allows for efficient and effective absorption of new knowledge. Basically you're an awesome teacher. We love you and keep it up! Also also also - if you get a Patreon, I'm for sure down. I'm sure many others are as well!!
Here’s some suggestions that I hope might help! - Videos were you rank certain animals/animal videos - A “Judging your favourite animal” type video where people send me their favourite animals and you give your opinion on them. (Alternatively you could do a “ruining your favourite animals” type thing where you show people the less than cute side of things) - prehistoric animals that I would want to take me out on a date - prehistoric animals that I could win against in a fight
Love your content! My suggestions might be: 1) Maybe do internet quizes speciallized on zoology to see how much you remember from the top of your head? 2) A little spin off of the first one would be to do live twitch and maybe compete with the chat? 3) Maybe a Q&A from your followers like the ones from "'specialist' answer twitter questions", not necessarily from twirtter though. 4) Top tens? Choose from time to time a category and share with us your favs from that category? 5) Maybe stories? From the most wholesome to the most terrorific ones about human-animal encounters? I love how you deliver info, I think it may make you a great narrator. 6) Maybe share with us personal experiences from when you were majoring? Best subjects, most difficult ones, interesting classes that you can remember, how did you get into zoology as your carreer choice?
Dope, subscribed! We legit have all these in aus minus the dart frog. My dad was a marine biologist and kept a blue ring as a pet years ago, they are amazingly intelligent and inquisitive. When dad would go on work trips the octopus would get depressed, refuse to eat anything and would jump out of the tank, on return the octopus would do dances, be noticeably excited and stay in the tank. Pretty crazy
FAQs is a good idea for the off weeks imo, another one could maybe be like a gag or blooper reel or behind the scenes type deal. Probably add that into the mix to mix things up. And as others have said, stories aren't a bad idea. Just watching one of your intro videos was a super interesting watch, how you got into zoology and all. Definitely wasn't expecting to hear you took a went to Africa and worked with animals, that was awesome
You're an absolute gem, you know that right? I'm really happy your channel is kicking off splendidly. I'd say definitely stay standing up, it really emphasizes your body language and vibes.
I know this video is over a year old, but I had to say how important it is to have healthy, energetic, young people (sorry, I'm old - the kind of old when you no longer "trip up", but "have a bit of a fall", yeah it sucks) being aware of, and talking about burn out!! I did not know it was a thing, until I burned out in my early 20s, and have spent the rest of my life thus far struggling with the basics of existing - eating, hygiene, all that jazz - because of Chronic Fatigue/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis. I long for the day when all young people go out into the world knowing about burnout, how to recognise it and how to avoid it, and it starts with people talking about it, but people who have life and energy, not knackered old biddies like me, that youth is programmed to ignore for it's own survival! Keep being super awesome (dare I show my age and say totally rad?), your educational style is a breath of fresh air!!
Some immediate ideas I had for some possible videos to sprinkle in between to make the workload less stressful: I’d enjoy seeing you do online quizzes about subjects you think you might know a lot about to “test your knowledge”, or maybe occasionally vlog your experience with putting together and researching for these videos. Maybe do a video about how you got into Zoology and what lead you here (I am genuinely curious). Maybe do a simple Tiktok/short form video series where you scroll through the animal/wild animal tag or get viewers to submit videos and talk about how factual the videos are (sorta debunking/true or false videos). I also quite like ranking/tier list videos, so you could rank animals in different categories either on a serious note (like how venomous animals are) or on a more lighthearted note (like taking different animals and ranking them based on whether or not you think you could beat them in a fight). Idk, maybe this will be helpful, maybe not, but here’s some ideas I thought of anyway. Have a good day! I really enjoy these videos 😊 oh! And keep standing, it works better with your energy.
Stay standing, you show so much passion and it makes me excited to watch every video. I love listening to people talk about things they enjoy so your content is literally perfect. Also you could do some personal story videos where you recount some of the places you've been to, what animals you've seen, ones you want to see in person (if possible), that sort of thing. Keep being awesome!!!
If you want research break videos, a good idea might be coloring in pages from your coloring book with some calming music or water sounds. You could also do story time type videos about your time on site with animals researching or doing conservation work!
I love the energy you have while standing. it's so boring when RUclipsrs sit down and talk at us. Please keep standing it feel so much more interactive. For patreon you could have Q&As , definitely video specific requests, spotlight livestreams (where your viewers can pick a topic to run with), even behind the scenes at how you compile and research for videos.
As a return viewer, I really love your energy/delivery/enthusiasm about all the topics you cover. I suspect it wouldn't feel the same if you were sitting down and more chill. You could try it for one video just to see how it feels and how you come off in that video. Whatever you end up doing, I'm here for it. You're fantastic, and thank you for sharing your love of animals with us!
Keep it up. Really enjoyed the video. As a someone who also got alot of the same education you clearly did (I got a Zoology masters etc.) and also talks like you (i've been a skateboarder forever) content is good and really engaging. Just try and stay on your aposematism topic start to finish. You smashed it! Can't wait to see more.
Telling stories about your personal experiences with animals might be cool for the weeks when you need a research break. I loved the video that included some of your personal experiences with cheetahs.
I learned of your channel from casual geographic. Just from watching you and him sadly my entire childhood of animal memories and knowledge has been ruined lol in a good way. Keep up the great work and look forward to more interesting content and facts
I ADORE your rapid-fire delivery and standing energy. My ADHD is here for all that! I automatically smile every time you “get this sh*t out of the way”
First as an Aussie that grew up in the 90's seeing someone handle a blue ringed octopus makes me shudder, our schools taught us never to touch or even look at them wrong 😂 As far as your format goes, I'm only new to your channel but I like your format, it's raw but extremely informative and there's already thousands of RUclipsrs out there sitting down and reminding me of that science teacher that hated their job 😂 Just be yourself and success will come 👍
Can I bring a pair of big sharp scissors into the sea and cut those blue ring octopus, sea slugs or sea rabbits into pieces and see weather they can stay alive and duplicate themselves like starfish??
I just damn love your channel, it is so different from everything I have seen so far on RUclips, and you talk about animals with just perfect sense of humor and energy. At this point I would enjoy anything you make video of, especially in this little series ^^
I'm so pleased I found this channel a few days ago. I absolutely love your energy - your humour is so authentic and relatable - hard qualities to come by these days. I really feel that through your humour allows me to relate to even the weirdest and most obscure species or phenomena in nature as though its were just casually doing its thing. It makes me really step out of seeing things through the lens of a human and instead ask vitally important life questions such as: God why tf do I not photosynthesise, have regenerative limbs, and a pretty alternating colour scheme - I absolutely love it. You defiantly deserve the crazy growth you've had on this channel and I can't wait to see how your content evolves :)
I love the energy, don't sit down. What I love most is your tone and the kinda sharp rythme of your sentences. That comes from your quick movements towards the screen and the fact you're standing.
I loved seeing your channel grow so fast and you totally deserve this! love your energy and as an educator myself I also feel much more engagement if I'm on my feet instead of sitting down. i love the fact that you're aware of possible burnout and i wish you could find the right balance so it doesn't happen. It is hard to stand out from a topics point of view with the insane amount of educational content but you stand out with your style, the casual yet brilliant! WTF is that is a great segment! also for suggestions, i would like to hear you talk about unusual animal behaviours (reproduction, diet, ways of communication, social dynamics, etc) maybe also a debunking segment for misinformation or common misconceptions. hope to see this channel keep growing and see more from you!
Glaucus Atlanticus is by far my favorite sea creature! It's so dang cool. And its ability to absorb a man o war's toxins and repurpose them is an excellent evolutionary adaptation. And of course they're very pretty, but as you said- no touch!
I love seeing you standing it’s different than other RUclipsrs and it makes your vibe more energetic and fun 😊 I’m new to your channel and I think your videos are awesome
Don't worry, take your breaks and don't burn yourself out! If you want to sit because it's straining do so, but I too believe that the energy is much better while standing. Just decide on whatever feels better for you! Or try out both :) The editing is very fun too and I know that takes a lot of time as well. The content is super fun and engaging and very educational and even though I'm not remotely close to working in this field or even having interests in it, I got absolutely hooked by your energy in the shorts, and now here I am, binging all content. ^^ I wish you all the success and hope you have fun with your channel! I'm loving every second of it
Absolutely awesome content! Audio feedback: you are currently picking up quite a bit of room sound. Easy way to solve this is to simply move the mic closer to you by for example using a shirt clip mic, thereby making your voice louder in comparison to the room. You can also add some absorption - "acoustic panels", heavy curtains, a carpet etc - to deaden the room a bit:) Keep it up!!
The Portuguese Man of War is fairly common on the Texas Gulf Coast. We see them from time to time. I’ve never heard of anyone dying from an encounter with one, but I can confirm that its sting hurts incredibly much. Just don’t touch one.
You see them on Padre Island seasonal, so please no Aquarium! LOL I saw a mans leg that was healing and it was gnarly too, from smashing a man o war with his foot and stuff sprayed on his leg.
I love the standing because I feel like I’m attending a special class/show at the zoo and learning from an energetic and enthusiastic animal caretaker lol
Nah, dont sit down unless you feel more comfortable that way. I feel like standing up adds to the personality of the vid. An upload schedule is generally a good idea, though it should definitely *not* be so frequent as to feel stressful. Every second monday or something would be fine. As for Patreon, not sure... Definitely cant hurt. Though its always a balancing act of adding enough value to attract patrons vs crippling the main channel(s). Though it may be amusing to do hatless patron-only videos that are otherwise identical to main-releases. :P (Seriously though, kinda curious about the hat - is there a story behind it, or did it just randomly become a thing? ^^)
HAHAH this was actually really helpful, thank you! The hatless idea for Patreon is funny. Honestly, I've always been someone who likes wearing hats more. I have a lot of hair (and actually half of it is shaved off so it's easier to manage lol. I have an undercut) and hats/having it up help control it more. I kept with the hat on tiktok because the greenscreen setting looked better with the hat in my opinion, and just kept with the same style here :)
i like you standin up and doin your thing. You give off your own unique vibe doing the videos the way you do and it's incredibly enjoyable! it makes it seem more casual, like you're genuinely standing infront of us and shooting the breeze about some cool animal/plant facts, as if though we bumped into eachother at a coffee shop and started talkin about interests, you give off that vibe and it's great! makes it really comfortable to sit and enjoy the videos because I feel like you're talking to US and not a camera or editor.
I’d love to see a full video over phylum Cnidaria. Such as a breakdown/basic anatomy of the different classes: class scyphozoa (true jellyfish) , class hydrozoa (hydras, Portuguese man o war), and class Anthozoa (sea anemones and coral), and class cubozoa (box jellyfish) which I find box jellyfish to be very interesting and terrifying. As well as giving information on coral bleaching. I think people would find this enlightening and I found it to be one of my favorite units in zoology. I also love your videos btw 🫶🏻
commenting a year later about the standing/sitting. im glad you've kept standing bc you constantly moving a bit calms down my brain enough to process what youre saying.
Love everything about your videos so much!! As far as more laid back concepts I’d totally listen to you just ramble about any of your favorite species in a less educational way, or anything related to your zoology work
Pls keep standing up if thats comfy for you bc your energy is amazing!! Its really fun and keeps the viewer (or me at least) hooked up!! Also, if you feel you’ll get burnt out researching for videos, pls post anything you like, like things you already know, some fun facts or anything! Even if you posted once a month it’d be cool!
Hello dear. How re you and your family today? I hope everyone is doing great. I enjoy the music alot, especially when I'm home from work. It actually good for relaxation lol.
This is probably the coolest channel I’ve come across in a while, love the energy, love the facts, love the overall vibe. Zoology was my favorite class in college and I had a bad ass professor, this is giving me a similar feel. If you’re looking for easy content you could try doing some react style stuff to other people on tik tok or RUclips interacting with creatures like this good bad and otherwise in the wild. Would probably be easier and faster than longform deep dive stuff like this, you could even do them alongside each other like a react style vid on the same category. Just ideas though, keep up the dope content can’t wait to see more!
No, don’t sit down. As a professional biologist for the last 30+ years, I love your energy and approach to engaging people with this content. Keep it up.
SAME. I love the energy!
Hah, I get it. Keep it UP.
yeah, stay up
not just the energy, it feels like i'm sitting down for a really interesting lecturer.
Agreed with this. Your energy is part of why I love your presentations ❤
Keep standing, the energy in your videos is amazing. I don't think it could be reproduced sitting down.
agreed, i will keep standing :)
This!! But maybe it could be recreated with a really dramatic spinny chair
I second the standing!
@@t4tnormative224 yeah I second the spinney chair if you want to sit down
Agreed 100%
As an Australian who is taught about how dangerous everything is and how you should never touch anything, it's insane to me that someone would just pick up a blue ringed octopus like were you not taught that will paralyse you within 3 hours?
Im born and raised in the US and live in a land locked state (although im only a few hour drive from the ocean) and even I was taught how dangerous the ocean was by the time I was like 6. Like how are you not cautious around any ocean related things 😭😭😭
@@bean3041 we're taught not to fuck with anything wild.
Don't touch it, don't chase it, don't eat it,.
Don't stick your hand down holes, don't go wading bare foot if you can't see the bottom, etc etc.
The number of videos I see of people just reaching down a dark hole with no idea what's down there.
Yeah, the mon'o'war is the same thing as a blue bottle. I'm trying to imagine anyone looking at that and thinking, "woah. I should pick that up and get a closer look!". Although I did know someone who went into a wombat hole as a kid, good thing it was empty. Wombats will back you out, and their butts can write off a car.
Idiot tax?
I grew up in Minnesota, which besides the great lakes, we are landlocked by the ocean and besides Alaska we are one of the northernmost states. While it still gets up in the 100s°F during the summer, it gets well below negatives in the winter. Theres really only a couple venomous creatures that live in the very southernmost part of the state, like brown recluses and one type of rattlesnake I think. Most other venomous creatures can't survive the cold temperatures i think.
We do know about creatures with teeth though, like fish and snapping turtles and mammals in general. Plenty of creatures with sharp teeth live around and you're generally taught growing up not to stick your hands and feet places they could get chomped on, like holes in either water or land or in trees.
Children there are also generally taught "if you don't know what something is, don't touch it", but more just in an injury sense and less in a chance you'll be poisoned sense. More disfigurement and less death ig.
When I moved to Texas as a teen, apparently all the lessons about what wants to kill you happened in preK and elementary school, I missed that ;(
@@gwendolynrobinson3900 yeah, I grew up in a major city, in a fairly wealthy suburb (Australia only has suburbs), and we literally had people come in to school every single year to explain various extremely dangerous creatures that all lived within walking distance from our school (my city has huge wetland chains, so you're almost always less than a kilometre away from a massive lake). Like we would literally be told "This is a tiger snake. They sleep on the footpaths in the summer. Don't ever walk in long grass, or you will get bitten. These are Redbacks. You will find them everywhere. Literally. They will crawl up your sinks and hide in your jackets. Be careful." You get the idea. We're taught about almost everything that can hurt us in explicit detail, and almost everyone knows some kind of snake bite first aid. People take it real seriously here.
Please don’t try to be like other RUclipsrs. Your energy is part of what makes you engaging. Literally one of my favorite educational channels, along with Casual Geographic. Please keep being yourselves. 😂❤
Personally, I like this way of education on animals. It’s not entirely in depth but when you want to, you get in depth and it’s always interesting. The “aggressive excitement” you have makes the content much more engaging and fun to watch. Just keep doing what you’re doing and have fun with it. It’s your channel, be a new generations zoologist like Steve was to most of us. It’s good to see someone genuinely excited about their passion.
yeah that's how steve irwin said he liked to do his content. If the person teaching is excited about what they are doing then so the person watching is more likely to be when watching it.
So true, if half my teachers were even close to being this passionate and excited about what they’re teaching us about I would pay attention a shit ton more.
I wanted to be a Zoologist growing up, but somehow ended up a software engineer. I was very passionate about wildlife, but now instead I live vicariously through these videos.
Invest 20% of yearly income into SCHD & VOO for a couple of years and you’ll be able to retire and afford to live freely. Become that zoologist without any restrictions
As a kid i want to be a botanist but ended up as a computer teacher lol
I am currently goind through the same thing, wanted to be a Vet and am currently courses for it, but I don't feel like it anymore and want to become a software engineer lmao
That's a mood.
How is it as a software engineer. I'm interested in that line of work
I think a series/video where you rank your favorite animals of a certain taxonomic class or just rank your favorite animals in general would be pretty fun to watch, and it seems like less research than other long form content. Also I love the energy you have standing it’s so fun and unique!
Tier list of her favorite octopuses 💀
Tier list of animals that would survive (insert random hypothetical situations)?
Longform silly animal dialogues?
agreed!!!!!
1) no, stand whatever’s going on is great
2) Patreon, hell yes
3) perhaps drop a mixtape?
That first one with the octopus freaked me out. We get them were i live and I've seen several while diving. You can keep people alive with artificial breathing divices until the toxin wears off as the toxins don't stop your heart. So yes, people who die from them often do so completely awake and aware they are suffocating.
My grandpa used to be in the Navy, and they had something happen with a Man-O-War (I think it got tangled in some part of the ship). He accidentally brushed his thumb against it when they brought it on board (for whatever reason) and got stung. He said the pain was bad enough that he wanted to cut his finger off to make it stop. So that's what he did.
Which finger
@@TheRealBiggieCheese69420 his thumb, he didn't cut the whole thing off, just about the knuckle, maybe a little lower
Did it work?
@agneshunyady3314 I don't know man, this was like 40 years before I was born. Probably not because he had to deal with a severed thumb pretty much immediately afterwards
gosh, really? I've stepped on their tails in the sand before, and it didn't hurt too bad. I guess they become less potent after dying.
I absolutely love the "hectic" and excited vibe, so please don't sit down! You do the candid and aggressive explanation so well that's what I stayed for. I definitely think you should continue with it.
I really like it too -- it's very energetic and keeps my attention! :D That said, I was thinking if she did do a 'sitting down' video, it should be about something like hibernation, or different ways species have evolved to sleep (or something equivalent). Just a thought.
@Sara Steege hahaha ye like have it fit the theme of the video 😂 that could be an idea
@540マンモス just insinuating that it simulates chaotic but not really, because she gets to the point and has a stucture. Just an expressive choice to emphasize the "hectic" flare of her videos.
I was lying down watching RUclips and I heard a clicking sound near me. I was trying to ignore it when suddenly a large ugly beetle started crawling on me. When the image on the screen beside her in these videos changes there is that same sound. I really don't like this very much. It must be distracting for other viewers.
@Gordon Welcher um well it seems to be intentional and tbh I didn't even notice and after I did notice it did not bother me. Think that is a person to person thing.
You’re a zoologist, talk about whatever the heck you want about any and all topics that interest you that you don’t have to think about other than just being excited about it. Get random, go off topic and circle back again, just show us you genuinely nerding out on your passions. You’re a pleasure to watch!
I love how adorably excited you got about sea slugs that can photosynthesize their own food
As someone with ADHD, I can't just sit down and watch something. I have to constantly be doing other stuff, and so I miss 90% of what I'm watching(listening). But because these videos are all over the place and so hyper, it makes it a lot easier for me to take it in even when I'm doing other stuff. It's so nice actually to be able to not have to see or hear the same thing 100 times before I really take it in lmao
wait wait wait wait wait youre right wait
same same sameeeeee i giggle at these videos (plus i’m an animal nerd and i like having these fun facts)
I second this note!
Same :D
Saaame.
Usually I struggle to tell my partner what I "learned" watching youtube.
But if straight up actually can remember alot more to coherently retell from her videos without having to fill in woth "something like this and I mightve missed something 😂"
Your energy is why me and many others watch you over all the other zoology channels. You remind me of older YT creators because you use simple graphics and have a lot of energy, rather than relying on editing in a clip from a show/movie or airhorn every 3 seconds.
Lol she literally uses an airhorn
Uhhhhh who’s gonna tell him?

In some places in Australia we call man O war's "Blue Bottles" When ever your at the beach (at least the ones I go to) its an unspoken rule that if you see one, you take a stick or shell and draw a circle around the whole thing including all the tenticals/tendrals. Some absolute angels will walk around and pick them up (with protection) and put them into buckets before releasing then or safly disposing of them.
We also do this in south africa! I've never heard them called a man 'o war, only blue bottles
They’re in Mexico in May as well and MAN DO THEY SUCK!
@catiesmith6599 cool ways to protect people, bless the ones that bring the equipment to put ‘em back hey. I’m gonna steal the circle idea to incorporate. I’ve always learnt to cover them with a noticeable hump of sand, so if you see a mound of sand don’t be tempted for a spicey jump or kick.
I’d be interested to know where abouts in Australia you’re at? Little cultural niches of how to deal with blue bottles, I’m on the Mid North Coast, NSW.
Are blue bottles man O war's? In NZ the lower west coast beaches gets covered in them certain times of the year. We do the circle thing aswell haha
@@mattywest8019 yep! If you Google blue bottle jelly’s the Portuguese Man’O War comes up. As far as I know there are no jellyfish that are blue/purple. That’s how I figured I was stung by one.
My feedback as a frequent viewer: stay standing! It fits your format and allows you to project your passion and energy for the subject. Also, on the idea of other formats, I like the idea of a 'my favourite animals' series where you just tell us everything you know about a particular species or genus and why you find them so interesting. Other than that, keep it up!
Cant imagine you would be able to sit still... And there isnt a formula, do what you do, in a hat.
Poor gal.
Nah…nah nah fuck that, this is the internet do the opposite. Now that you’ve been given constructive feedback, rebel and engage in maximum pettiness. Next vid take a seat, have a deep breath and a sip of something strong enough to cause discomfort and explain why moths lamp.
Your standing is perfectly fine, I love the ADHD energy, it makes me feel less like a fruit cake when i do the same thing about my favorite subjects. And your tangents are fun and awesome, and i would love to see more tangents, so honestly picking a species or group of species to just info dump all of what you know on would be super cool!
Keep standing, start a Patreon! Even if it’s just a way to support you without perks. Your energy is what makes you unique, I think if you were sitting you’d be either subdued or smacking yourself with your flailing arms. 😊
Fr she should start an OnlyFans I mean Patreon
Totally agree, standing patreon and passion
Keep standing ❤
@@mountainclimbr wrd 😂😂
@@mountainclimbr Go outside and get some sun big guy.
Ok several points, here we go. First: You're a natural, no fear or nervousness in front of the camera, perhaps it's from playing on stage in a rock band (I'm assuming) but regardless you have great confidence and that is crucial! Second: You know your stuff, anyone that watches an episode comes away knowing more than they did before they watched it. Third: Your delivery is unique, funny, and entertaining. Your timing and placement of one liners and profanity is your meal ticket. Coming from a RUclips addict such as myself I can honestly say I've never seen a "teacher" speak the way you do and it's refreshing and delightful. If my teachers/professors taught lessons with your voculary I would've been entertained enough to pay more attention! Oh and you are very pleasing on the eyes, most educational vids I watch have an elderly (typically obese) professor delivering a Ben Stine monolog which almost puts one to sleep. You are on your game young lady and I think you found your calling. Now as for inspiration for a vid here ya go...were dinosaurs on Earth at the same time as humans? A lot of vids, providing evidence, out there saying people shared the land with those giant terrifying lizards (or birds). I'd like to hear your take on that. Anywho you rock, love your channel and keep up the great work =)
You’re probably the only person that made me interested in biology. Love the editing and the funny way in which you talk about different animals😂
Check out Ze Frank! Especially his video on the Oppih!!
I second checking out True Facts by Ze Frank. The absolute best biology RUclipsr!
I love the energy of your standing format. It feels more like having a conversation with you rather than you just sitting & reading a script. As for ideas I enjoyed the tattoo video & always enjoy hearing you talk about your experiences working with animals.
Also, the more movement you're able to have the better, its that chaotic energy thats really drawn a lot of people in.
As far as any feedback i could give, as a musician and audio engineer, look into a hypercardiod microphone like the Shure beta 87A. They have a super tight pattern so itll pick up less room noise and make your life easier in editing without going through the hassle of sound proofing a room
Woot! I have a degree in zoology so I'm excited to see youtubers who specialize in it too! Educate the masses! You have a pretty chill but chipper personality so you're fun to listen to. I think youtube recommended you to me since I watch Casual Geographic too. So instant subscription!
I would suggest when you're starting to get fatigued, look through suggestions and pick whichever one actually sounds fun to you, even if it isn't the most requested. You're going to be more motivated to do it, plus your energy (which people love just as much as your content) will get the folks who didn't even request it invested in the content. Thank you for making these videos, btw. It's like Zoobooks, but for grown ups
The first blue ringed octopus I saw , was when I was 13 and it came out from under a ledge in the small rock pool I was sitting in . I got out carefully as to not scare it. Though that particular reef had a lot of deadly creatures, stone fish, cone fish , sharks and the blue ringed octopus. It also had a lot of "friendly" creatures
Australia is a great place to live :)
Don't forget the most venomous animal in the world, the box jellyfish
@@FishFactInc. luckily that's one creature that didn't live in the area I was in. Everything could be seen easier than that jellyfish, I don't like near invisible deadly creatures
Australia is a good place to live in if you don't try to 'fuck around and find out'
@@tanie3543 yeah, it's good for that, friggin love it.
And if you don't like something, fuck it off.
Which I will have to do if the little hands hang around. Don't waste time or money on crap I don't like.
Australia sounds like living in extreme mode with nice people.
The best, long lived channels I subscribe to have a few things in common: a person who is at least somewhat passionate about the subjects of their videos, who presents that subject in a natural way, and who is willing to takes breaks or change things up (temporarily or permanently) based on their own interests and needs. You've got a great channel, it's growing amazingly and that growth is well deserved. Don't let the algorithm and analytics steal your mental health.
I love this format with your magic picture frame. I love how excited you get about certain things. This is great content and I learn a lot from watching you!
Definitely would like “story time” videos, about your life and experiences, especially considering your adventurous life at the Cheetah reserve. I think it would be an easy regular series you can come up with without doing research
I'll second this!! She's always casually mentioning Really COOL stuff she did and places she's been lol. I bet she has some good stories.
Same!!
The editing in these videos is so good. The memes never overstay their welcome, and they blend into the content without breaking the flow of the video at all.
I had a Man ‘o War close encounter on my honeymoon in the Fl Keys while spearfishing, and I was extremely lucky somehow - I was near the surface and noticed blue strings moving across my mask, almost like my own hair would do, I barely registered it moments before I surfaced about 12-14 inches from the floating balloon of pain, and once I recognized what I was seeing, I swam backwards as quickly as possible without ever engaging with a single stinging part. I had a wetsuit on but no gloves, so I know it was absolute chance that I wasn’t stung on my face, considering it was touching my mask glass before I knew what it was! I was way more panicked over the MoW than any shark I’ve seen while diving or snorkeling.
Also, love your videos! Your delivery is awesome and engaging and funny, definitely a great style for your content! You could mix up the standing/sitting if you wanted, but it is definitely up to you! If you try it and don’t like it, at least you’ll know!
Woah you're lucky! Here in Australia we call the bluebottles and have heaps of warnings about them during the times of year when they become numerous on some of our eastern beaches.
“I think I’d be more calm if I was sitting and that’s not necessarily the vibe I’m going for” had me cackling in the middle of the night 😂 definitely explains the vibes here
Dude, whatever ya decide to do just keep being you, your energy and passion for animals mixed with the editing style is really enjoyable and interesting to watch
I love the way that you describe animals and how they can effect people handle them. I was bitten by an octopus that picked up from a tidal pool in California. It didn't hurt very much when it first started chewing on me, but when the venom hit, it really burned. The top of my hand swelled up and numbness spread from my hand up my arm reaching my neck. I had mild hallucinations for a few hours, got hella tired and took a deep nap for two hour. When I woke up, it felt like my lungs ached and breathing deeply didn't feel good. The parts that had been numb when I fell asleep hurt. The park rangers were scratching thier heads hypothesizing about what the venom was doing to me, while they ate the breakfast that my mom was serving. The bite took 2 weeks to heal and I have a bump on the tendon on my hand under the bite mark. Later, my mom told me that she didn't take me to the emergency room, because she didn't want to waste an entire day of her vacation at the hospital. I don't know if that is what venom from an octopus usually does, but it is what I experienced. It was my fault for picking up exotic wild animals.
I love your channel. 😁
Hey, uh... What your ma did is kinda fucked up. She should've been more concerned about losing her kid, not her vacation time.
I echo the reply here. It’s actually really on your mom for not taking care of her child like a parent should. It’s kind of weird how other animals have this instinctual feeling to run away from brightly colored things, but not us humans. I feel like even if you’re an adult you kind of just want to pick it up. not saying you should, lol, but some of the stuff looks so vivid and cool. But if you’re a little kid, you definitely wanted to pick up the colorful animal.
Dumb mother - dumb child
Like geez
oh my god dude your mom is kind of a red flag for not taking you to the emergency room like that’s wild
@@brandonkennedy4160 My mother is a person who is entertained by the suffering of others. Her children were no exception. The more dramatic and extreme the event is, the happier she is as long as it isn't an inconvenience to her. My mother encouraged recklessness in those around her and was excited by drama and stories that came from them. She would regale people with the stories injuries, suffering and near death experiences of her children, but she didn't do anything to prevent it, she encouraged us to put ourselves in danger, but she never took the risks herself. She took credit for our accomplishments as well. She bragged about me doing emergency hospice work for her friend when I was 14 years old for her friend who was dying was advanced breast cancer. At 14 years old, I was stranded in a one room, wood heated ( the wood heater was defective and it was almost impossible to keep the fire going well enough to keep the room warm )cabin with a weakened terminally ill, oxygen dependent women, in a snow storm for three days. The power went out. She told me that if she fell asleep with out the oxygen that she would die. I spent the night listening to her gasp for breath
, knowing that it would be up to me to choose what to do with this woman's body is she couldn't keep herself awake until the power came back on. When the storm broke and my parents were able to retrieve me, I was proud of myself for having the skill to manage a temperamental and staying calm. I was also traumatized. I cried all the way home while my mother ignored me. My mother should have been the one to help her terminally ill friend. She wanted me to pick up that octopus, but would never have done it herself. I have seen siblings lit on fire, broken bones from accidents that could have been prevented and hospitalizations for illnesses that she allowed to become advanced before taking us for medical care. She is psychopath and a horrible person who shouldn't be trusted with a gold fish.
Keep standing… I personally love how you give off a bit of an anxious rambling kinda vibe.
Some channels are that slow, laid back calm, soothing voice, with interesting facts…
then there’s channels where it’s borderline sensory overload with facts, information, and memes.
Love the teaching format and style. Also love the skit videos. For your 'research break' casual episodes you could introduce a spiny chair and do a 'which would win in a fight' for prehistoric or current creatures, just listing off their advantages and capabilities. Or a 'this month's/week's favorite animal' with a run down of interesting facts (would be easy to pre-film too)
Your channel is growing at a criminally high rate. It proves people wanna learn. Combine that with your energy and that fire outro and you got perfection.
100% keep standing because it sounds and feels just like a really enthusiastic school presentation and i’m loving the vibe. also def start a patreon to get that incentive to keep researching and hopefully prevent or push off burnout a little and honestly girl only give us videos that YOU wanna spend time researching ok? that’s the only way to truly stay passionate about making this content ya know? anyway love ya good luck hun bun
Peace be unto you this new year ❤
I literally found your channel 2 weeks ago then binge watched all your videos and their great and I love your format and that you swear, it's funny
I really like the way she talks, literally. The emphasis at the end of sentecences and the little word hop, ADHD fuel.
I've been following since she started and the quality of the content has only gotten better. It's a delight.
I'm a little late to the party here as I only recently found your channel, but I love your format! Your enthusiasm is flying off the screen and I love how you can convey so much information at a rapid pace while managing to keep our attention really well. Your inflection is pretty unique and I think that's part of the reason why you don't require long pauses to let information sink in. I dunno, I'm probably overanalysing XD but to sum it up: love your channel! The way you do this is awesome :)
Your pace and rhythm to presenting is goddamn perfect to not be dull and monotonous but not overwhelming fast and the editing is perfectly synced, a stumbled upon video highly surprising and fun!
No don't sit down! As many other people have already said, your energy is so wonderful! It makes me excited and alert and READY to learn!!! If you are looking for something to do that doesn't need to be researched maybe you can just pick some of your favorite animals and tell us all about why you love them. Your passion is definitely what makes the videos entertaining. So just hearing your opinions would be awesome too! The FAQ video would also be interesting or maybe a video or two on your experience and education. Keep up the amazing work, you have been an absolute pleasure get to know so far! 🤗
I love your current vibe and energy, as long as standing throughout recording isn’t uncomfortable for you I’d say make it your brand!
I understand that this is an older video, but I'm glad that you decided to keep standing. The way you are so animated while talking is part of what drew me to subscribe to this channel. That, and as I mentioned on a different video, you explain things in a way that a non-scientific person like me can understand.
The standing vibe and energy you have when talking about the stuff youre passionate about it super enjoyable. Also the closed captions are super helpful and make watching things much nicer and enjoyable to watch and pay attention to. Thank you so much for that, from both me and my girlfriend :)
You’ve quickly become one of my favorite zoology content creators, your sense of humor and energy are so fun to watch alongside really interesting information. I say make the Patreon, you deserve to get that bag girl lol
Hi, this is the first of your videos I've encountered and just wanted to say how fantastic your presentation style is - I'm sure you've heard it before, but it's giving me *peak* Jenna Marbles energy - wholesome, energetic, straightforward and humorous. With the addition of informative - Brilliant.
This is the first of your videos I have watched and I am subbing.
I like your energy, editing, and personality. If standing makes you feel good then keep it up! Great job.
DONT SIT. I love your unique chaotic vibe!!!
Would doing videos where you talk about your favorite animals (about why you like them doesn’t have to be informative) or some sort of story time of sorts where you talk about what happened during your time with the cheetahs or studying zoology?
It’s also totally okay to take a week off without a RUclips/“long form”/“horizontal” video once a month of so!
Omg like a top 10 fav animals would be great
I discovered you recently. Im a STEM person but more on the tech side. I love learning things though. I LOVE your style and energy. I could listen to you talk for HOURS (no exaggeration lol). I know you and your channel are destined for success!
Feedback: Standing is great. The standing is part of what makes both yours and Milo's channels so interesting; it helps keep both of you super high energy and really gives the vibe of "what if your professors were cool and awesome". Also, I wouldn't want you to have to redo your set; Diversification: Low-hanging fruits would be 'wtf can I find in my backyard/local park', tier list videos, rants about cheetahs, maybe a cheetah myth video, and reactions to other people's scare videos (i.e. AVNJ and Megalodon videos but for weirder things), or reactions to other people's good videos (i.e. Sam o'Nella's classification video), tell us what a day in the life at the cheetah reserve was like, fun facts about creatures with no context, literally anything you're passionate enough to have this kind of energy about would make an amazing video.
Please keep the format as it is, as I'm learning things without feeling I'm being in a class lecture. Keep up the amazing work 🤘
I love how active you are with your community in asking for advice and preferences. My two cents tho, always do whatever YOU think is best, you’ve built a following because you’re really good at what you do. Format and presentation style are obviously important, and I understand wanting to try different ones out, but as long as the crazy animal facts keep coming, I’ll watch a zoomed in video of just your nose for all I care. Your vocal cadence is what really entertains me and keeps me interested, and I’m sure many others are the same way. I do like the ‘personal’ feeling of these types of vids don’t get me wrong, but I also don’t want you to think you need to be on camera 24/7 and super energetic to entertain us
You and your editor truly are the dream team 😂
Edit: Just got to the end
1. Standing up helps with the sense of urgency and makes it feel like a lively presentation! So mark me down for anti-sit.
2. I'm down for a patreon. Maybe you could do some interviews with some animal experts? You look to be getting a sizeable following, so you might be able to get in contact with some neat eggheads and pick their brains?
3. For low impact content, maybe you can (for lack of a better off-the-cuff idea) do some wild animal video reactions. There are new ones popping up all the time 😊
Your "guessing" about the colonising has recently been recreated in a lab using a species of algae. The single cells were "threatened" into clustering together to become a multicellular mass.
I'm not even into biology but this legend of perfected abruptness has drawn me into the subject.
Keep on rocking Lindsay!!!
man nice comment.. but that name..
im at the part of the video where she's trying to pronounce "apososmemmemmtiicmsm".. that, with your name... js took me aback 💀
@@shronkler1994 Common misconception. The "Elizabeth" is usually enough for people to realise it's a joke and I usually get thanked for it after people google it.
Please keep standing on business Lindsay.
Your work as a RUclips educator is unmatched, me along with millions of others appreciate your content deeply for your one of a kind energy.
And also I think it’s funny how you play with the proportion of the backgrounds.
Stand like a champ, girl! You have so much energy, I love how you sway, bounce and thrown tone of gestures in it. You are making my day just being yourself, not to mention amazing knowledge you share. As for topics, I have no idea really except maybe listening about things you are passionate about.
Honestly, just do whatever you feel most comfortable with. Not all RUclipsrs sit down and they still have amazing content so you just do you and know that we'll be here for you no matter what!
10:08 **It was in fact, not chill** im rolling on the floor laughing, this duude
I love your energy. Keep standing. Also, I honestly like the prehistoric videos you make. It's just fun learning about animals that aren't here that were. It puts a perspective on things. Things about insane animals like these would be great ideas too.
I just discovered your channel a week ago. Your style of teaching is quite effective and engaging. I used to teach deaf people for a living in my early 20's, and you use similar tactics that I used, straightforward, matter-of-fact, and funny. I love zoology and paleontology as separate subjects, and I love that your content presents both disciplines harmoniously. Keep up the good work! Let us know when you start a Patreon.
Do whatever is comfortable for you - but personally, I would say you standing allows for a natural energy and excitement in your nonverbal presentation. Your vibes and passion are freaking awesome and we love your animated movements. Plus you're raw af with your new information delivery while applying a educational repetition to your recurring backbone theses, which allows for efficient and effective absorption of new knowledge. Basically you're an awesome teacher. We love you and keep it up! Also also also - if you get a Patreon, I'm for sure down. I'm sure many others are as well!!
Here’s some suggestions that I hope might help!
- Videos were you rank certain animals/animal videos
- A “Judging your favourite animal” type video where people send me their favourite animals and you give your opinion on them. (Alternatively you could do a “ruining your favourite animals” type thing where you show people the less than cute side of things)
- prehistoric animals that I would want to take me out on a date
- prehistoric animals that I could win against in a fight
prehistoric animals I could win in a fight against 🤣🤣
Prehistoric Animal Celebrity Deathmatch !
These are all great ideas for the channel 👍👍 Agree 100%
Love your content! My suggestions might be: 1) Maybe do internet quizes speciallized on zoology to see how much you remember from the top of your head? 2) A little spin off of the first one would be to do live twitch and maybe compete with the chat? 3) Maybe a Q&A from your followers like the ones from "'specialist' answer twitter questions", not necessarily from twirtter though. 4) Top tens? Choose from time to time a category and share with us your favs from that category? 5) Maybe stories? From the most wholesome to the most terrorific ones about human-animal encounters? I love how you deliver info, I think it may make you a great narrator. 6) Maybe share with us personal experiences from when you were majoring? Best subjects, most difficult ones, interesting classes that you can remember, how did you get into zoology as your carreer choice?
Dope, subscribed! We legit have all these in aus minus the dart frog. My dad was a marine biologist and kept a blue ring as a pet years ago, they are amazingly intelligent and inquisitive. When dad would go on work trips the octopus would get depressed, refuse to eat anything and would jump out of the tank, on return the octopus would do dances, be noticeably excited and stay in the tank. Pretty crazy
That's equally adorable and terrifying...
@e-w-4174 not if the person knows how to care for it properly and provides it the correct environment etc.
FAQs is a good idea for the off weeks imo, another one could maybe be like a gag or blooper reel or behind the scenes type deal. Probably add that into the mix to mix things up. And as others have said, stories aren't a bad idea. Just watching one of your intro videos was a super interesting watch, how you got into zoology and all. Definitely wasn't expecting to hear you took a went to Africa and worked with animals, that was awesome
You're an absolute gem, you know that right? I'm really happy your channel is kicking off splendidly. I'd say definitely stay standing up, it really emphasizes your body language and vibes.
I know this video is over a year old, but I had to say how important it is to have healthy, energetic, young people (sorry, I'm old - the kind of old when you no longer "trip up", but "have a bit of a fall", yeah it sucks) being aware of, and talking about burn out!! I did not know it was a thing, until I burned out in my early 20s, and have spent the rest of my life thus far struggling with the basics of existing - eating, hygiene, all that jazz - because of Chronic Fatigue/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis. I long for the day when all young people go out into the world knowing about burnout, how to recognise it and how to avoid it, and it starts with people talking about it, but people who have life and energy, not knackered old biddies like me, that youth is programmed to ignore for it's own survival! Keep being super awesome (dare I show my age and say totally rad?), your educational style is a breath of fresh air!!
Some immediate ideas I had for some possible videos to sprinkle in between to make the workload less stressful: I’d enjoy seeing you do online quizzes about subjects you think you might know a lot about to “test your knowledge”, or maybe occasionally vlog your experience with putting together and researching for these videos. Maybe do a video about how you got into Zoology and what lead you here (I am genuinely curious). Maybe do a simple Tiktok/short form video series where you scroll through the animal/wild animal tag or get viewers to submit videos and talk about how factual the videos are (sorta debunking/true or false videos). I also quite like ranking/tier list videos, so you could rank animals in different categories either on a serious note (like how venomous animals are) or on a more lighthearted note (like taking different animals and ranking them based on whether or not you think you could beat them in a fight). Idk, maybe this will be helpful, maybe not, but here’s some ideas I thought of anyway. Have a good day! I really enjoy these videos 😊 oh! And keep standing, it works better with your energy.
Love heaps of these!
Stay standing, you show so much passion and it makes me excited to watch every video. I love listening to people talk about things they enjoy so your content is literally perfect. Also you could do some personal story videos where you recount some of the places you've been to, what animals you've seen, ones you want to see in person (if possible), that sort of thing. Keep being awesome!!!
If you want research break videos, a good idea might be coloring in pages from your coloring book with some calming music or water sounds. You could also do story time type videos about your time on site with animals researching or doing conservation work!
The Cladogram is its own character at this point, it's the special guest of every "WTF is this" episode 💕
lol
I love the energy you have while standing. it's so boring when RUclipsrs sit down and talk at us. Please keep standing it feel so much more interactive.
For patreon you could have Q&As , definitely video specific requests, spotlight livestreams (where your viewers can pick a topic to run with), even behind the scenes at how you compile and research for videos.
As a return viewer, I really love your energy/delivery/enthusiasm about all the topics you cover. I suspect it wouldn't feel the same if you were sitting down and more chill. You could try it for one video just to see how it feels and how you come off in that video. Whatever you end up doing, I'm here for it. You're fantastic, and thank you for sharing your love of animals with us!
Keep it up. Really enjoyed the video. As a someone who also got alot of the same education you clearly did (I got a Zoology masters etc.) and also talks like you (i've been a skateboarder forever) content is good and really engaging. Just try and stay on your aposematism topic start to finish. You smashed it! Can't wait to see more.
Telling stories about your personal experiences with animals might be cool for the weeks when you need a research break. I loved the video that included some of your personal experiences with cheetahs.
I second that all day
I learned of your channel from casual geographic. Just from watching you and him sadly my entire childhood of animal memories and knowledge has been ruined lol in a good way. Keep up the great work and look forward to more interesting content and facts
I love this channel so much. It's like Jenna Marbles giving zoology facts.
Oh my god, you've summed it up!
Bostonian Jenna Vibes
Holy crap yeah
holy shit thats a good comparison
I ADORE your rapid-fire delivery and standing energy. My ADHD is here for all that! I automatically smile every time you “get this sh*t out of the way”
First as an Aussie that grew up in the 90's seeing someone handle a blue ringed octopus makes me shudder, our schools taught us never to touch or even look at them wrong 😂 As far as your format goes, I'm only new to your channel but I like your format, it's raw but extremely informative and there's already thousands of RUclipsrs out there sitting down and reminding me of that science teacher that hated their job 😂 Just be yourself and success will come 👍
Yeah I find these sorts of videos go viral only when foreigners come to Australia.
Can I bring a pair of big sharp scissors into the sea and cut those blue ring octopus, sea slugs or sea rabbits into pieces and see weather they can stay alive and duplicate themselves like starfish??
@@jeffreysetapak You can totally try this (although unethically) but if you mess up you don't get a retry 😛
Dude im afraid to even touch a bloody ozzy. God knows what sort of venom they've absorbed!
I just damn love your channel, it is so different from everything I have seen so far on RUclips, and you talk about animals with just perfect sense of humor and energy. At this point I would enjoy anything you make video of, especially in this little series ^^
I second this! I could literally watch you talk about paint drying because it doesn't give a fuck and I'd watch on a loop .
Agreed. I could watch her describe a cholera shit for 5 hours and still be disappointed when the video ended!!!
I'm so pleased I found this channel a few days ago. I absolutely love your energy - your humour is so authentic and relatable - hard qualities to come by these days. I really feel that through your humour allows me to relate to even the weirdest and most obscure species or phenomena in nature as though its were just casually doing its thing. It makes me really step out of seeing things through the lens of a human and instead ask vitally important life questions such as: God why tf do I not photosynthesise, have regenerative limbs, and a pretty alternating colour scheme - I absolutely love it. You defiantly deserve the crazy growth you've had on this channel and I can't wait to see how your content evolves :)
I love the energy, don't sit down. What I love most is your tone and the kinda sharp rythme of your sentences. That comes from your quick movements towards the screen and the fact you're standing.
Here in Australia, it's basically a rite of passage to be stung by a blue bottle at least once in your childhood
I loved seeing your channel grow so fast and you totally deserve this! love your energy and as an educator myself I also feel much more engagement if I'm on my feet instead of sitting down. i love the fact that you're aware of possible burnout and i wish you could find the right balance so it doesn't happen.
It is hard to stand out from a topics point of view with the insane amount of educational content but you stand out with your style, the casual yet brilliant!
WTF is that is a great segment! also for suggestions, i would like to hear you talk about unusual animal behaviours (reproduction, diet, ways of communication, social dynamics, etc) maybe also a debunking segment for misinformation or common misconceptions.
hope to see this channel keep growing and see more from you!
Glaucus Atlanticus is by far my favorite sea creature! It's so dang cool. And its ability to absorb a man o war's toxins and repurpose them is an excellent evolutionary adaptation. And of course they're very pretty, but as you said- no touch!
I love seeing you standing it’s different than other RUclipsrs and it makes your vibe more energetic and fun 😊 I’m new to your channel and I think your videos are awesome
Don't worry, take your breaks and don't burn yourself out! If you want to sit because it's straining do so, but I too believe that the energy is much better while standing. Just decide on whatever feels better for you! Or try out both :) The editing is very fun too and I know that takes a lot of time as well. The content is super fun and engaging and very educational and even though I'm not remotely close to working in this field or even having interests in it, I got absolutely hooked by your energy in the shorts, and now here I am, binging all content. ^^ I wish you all the success and hope you have fun with your channel! I'm loving every second of it
Absolutely awesome content! Audio feedback: you are currently picking up quite a bit of room sound. Easy way to solve this is to simply move the mic closer to you by for example using a shirt clip mic, thereby making your voice louder in comparison to the room. You can also add some absorption - "acoustic panels", heavy curtains, a carpet etc - to deaden the room a bit:) Keep it up!!
The Portuguese Man of War is fairly common on the Texas Gulf Coast. We see them from time to time. I’ve never heard of anyone dying from an encounter with one, but I can confirm that its sting hurts incredibly much. Just don’t touch one.
now i'm curious. I want to touch one immediately. Maybe there is a zoo in my country with man'o'wars where i can jump into the aquarium...
@@doragonsureia7288 Don't be stupid.
Generally the deaths are caused when someone gets tangled up in the tentacles
You see them on Padre Island seasonal, so please no Aquarium! LOL I saw a mans leg that was healing and it was gnarly too, from smashing a man o war with his foot and stuff sprayed on his leg.
I love the standing because I feel like I’m attending a special class/show at the zoo and learning from an energetic and enthusiastic animal caretaker lol
Peace be unto you this new year ❤
Nah, dont sit down unless you feel more comfortable that way. I feel like standing up adds to the personality of the vid.
An upload schedule is generally a good idea, though it should definitely *not* be so frequent as to feel stressful. Every second monday or something would be fine. As for Patreon, not sure... Definitely cant hurt. Though its always a balancing act of adding enough value to attract patrons vs crippling the main channel(s). Though it may be amusing to do hatless patron-only videos that are otherwise identical to main-releases. :P
(Seriously though, kinda curious about the hat - is there a story behind it, or did it just randomly become a thing? ^^)
HAHAH this was actually really helpful, thank you! The hatless idea for Patreon is funny. Honestly, I've always been someone who likes wearing hats more. I have a lot of hair (and actually half of it is shaved off so it's easier to manage lol. I have an undercut) and hats/having it up help control it more. I kept with the hat on tiktok because the greenscreen setting looked better with the hat in my opinion, and just kept with the same style here :)
@@LindsayNikole Glad to be of service. 😁
Makes sense re: hat, definitely adds to your vibes too. :)
Keep on doing cool stuff! ^^
i like you standin up and doin your thing. You give off your own unique vibe doing the videos the way you do and it's incredibly enjoyable! it makes it seem more casual, like you're genuinely standing infront of us and shooting the breeze about some cool animal/plant facts, as if though we bumped into eachother at a coffee shop and started talkin about interests, you give off that vibe and it's great! makes it really comfortable to sit and enjoy the videos because I feel like you're talking to US and not a camera or editor.
I’d love to see a full video over phylum Cnidaria. Such as a breakdown/basic anatomy of the different classes: class scyphozoa (true jellyfish) , class hydrozoa (hydras, Portuguese man o war), and class Anthozoa (sea anemones and coral), and class cubozoa (box jellyfish) which I find box jellyfish to be very interesting and terrifying. As well as giving information on coral bleaching. I think people would find this enlightening and I found it to be one of my favorite units in zoology. I also love your videos btw 🫶🏻
commenting a year later about the standing/sitting. im glad you've kept standing bc you constantly moving a bit calms down my brain enough to process what youre saying.
Love everything about your videos so much!! As far as more laid back concepts I’d totally listen to you just ramble about any of your favorite species in a less educational way, or anything related to your zoology work
I love the way you enunciate! Like every single animal name has such energy behind it. That somehow makes is much easier to pay attention.
Pls keep standing up if thats comfy for you bc your energy is amazing!! Its really fun and keeps the viewer (or me at least) hooked up!! Also, if you feel you’ll get burnt out researching for videos, pls post anything you like, like things you already know, some fun facts or anything! Even if you posted once a month it’d be cool!
i love your content! so fun and educational!! you do such a great job Lindsay, keep it up!
Hello dear. How re you and your family today? I hope everyone is doing great. I enjoy the music alot, especially when I'm home from work. It actually good for relaxation lol.
This is probably the coolest channel I’ve come across in a while, love the energy, love the facts, love the overall vibe. Zoology was my favorite class in college and I had a bad ass professor, this is giving me a similar feel. If you’re looking for easy content you could try doing some react style stuff to other people on tik tok or RUclips interacting with creatures like this good bad and otherwise in the wild. Would probably be easier and faster than longform deep dive stuff like this, you could even do them alongside each other like a react style vid on the same category. Just ideas though, keep up the dope content can’t wait to see more!
