Hi all, thank you for the wonderful comments and all your support on this film. I've just set up a Patreon for any of you interested in supporting my video creation further: www.patreon.com/naturalworldfacts I'm very new to Patreon so any feedback or tips would mean the world!
My man, I’m not sure how to explain it but when you narrate, it sounds almost like you’re smiling throughout. I can tell you are very passionate and these videos are favorites to many. Very informative while also beautiful and haunting. Wonderful work!
Leo, this is easily one of my favourite videos of yours to date. The work that you’ve put in (not only this but your channel as a whole) is inspired and I cannot begin to express my gratitude for what you do. Absolutely phenomenal work mate.
for real dude. this kids got a gift, straight up possesses God-tier skill. only a matter of time before some production syndicate like bbc or discovery picks him up, mark my words.
Thank you so much, both of you! Making these films is a dream come true - a hobby that I never dreamt anyone would engage with to this extent! So hearing feedback like this is just incredible. Thank you, truly!!
I agree, I've seen a few videos on whale falls but this video with the inclusion on wood falls really taught me something new, in an amazing way too. Thanks for all your hardwork, hope it keeps paying off like it has been so far (as I'm sure it will 👍)
I legitimately got chills when The Endurance came looming out of the darkness. The music picked up, the haunting melody played, and that lost vessel appeared as though she had sunk only a days ago instead of over a century. Both beautiful and terrifying. A memory frozen in time, 2 miles beneath the waves.
Glad I'm getting notifications again! I've always been fascinated by whale-falls, but I know much less about wood-falls. Always happy to learn something new. Thank you for all the work you put into your videos.
Thank you so much as always Emily! I'm so glad the notifications are working again, I know RUclips sometimes has issues with them. Really hope you enjoyed this one 😊
It makes sense that whale falls would happen close to others because they die along migration routes, but somehow it surprised me. Wonderful episode as always.
I’m a nurse with excessive health problems, but what I loved more than anything was ocean life. I know just about everything you explain just from hobby consumption since childhood, but this is what I listen to at work as soon as I sit. I’ve gone through them so many times. They’re calming and somehow happy. I’m so glad you make them.
David Attenborough is one of the most recognizable and renown broadcasters today. But I have a feeling you will surpass even his star one day. Thank you for your beautiful work.
@@NaturalWorldFacts I prefer your voice over his :) Yours has a meditative feeling in it. So, watching this documentary felt like a spiritual experience. I think the films with David Attenborough are nowadays too fast an a little hectic, just one shot and one story after another. Unfortunately a lot of film is like that nowadays. But you went in DEEP. LOVE IT! Im feeling so calm and inspired now, thank you.
I just really love your voice and commentary man, like honestly, it is such an important part of documentaries, and I think many don't realize that sometimes
@@NaturalWorldFacts If i could place a bet on you presenting professional level documentaries in the next 10 years or less, I'd bet it all. A sure win. Keep it up, your content is great!
Move over Sir David Attenborough, you have done an amazing job and will never be forgotten, but Leo is now going to take the reigns for the future of Nature documentaries. Leo your voice is like no other. Thank you for all you give 🙏 ❤️
@@NaturalWorldFacts Sir DA is also mine. He got me interested in natural history from young and I've never lost my love nor interest for this fascinating subject. I wouldn't say you're taking over the reins. Rather, I'd say you're carving your own way and doing wonderfully well. Your videos are highly educational, entertaining, beautifully shot and narrated. So, thank you, and keep up the excellent work!
Leo, you have got a gift my dude. You possess some god-tier skill level. its only a matter of time before some production syndicate like bbc or discovery picks you up, mark my words. I only have a passive interest in ocean biography, yet soon as I came across your channel I instantly subbed. when i first saw your face in your tide-pool episode I was legitimately amazed, never would I have imagined how young you are. I dont know where you learned how to do what you do, or how long you ended up selling your soul to the devil to acquire such talent, but you'll find no judgement here! thanks for the consistently amazing content man, your parents must simply be awestruck at what you're able to accomplish
Your voice is so soothing, to the point where I can actually take on and process the information you’re putting across (Which is almost impossible with ADHD for me). The subjects you cover are fascinating and the narrative script is superb! When I have been stressed, I’ve played your videos to help pull my focus back on track and even bring down my anxiety. Thank you, for your hard work, fascinating content and gentle narration.
This is such a lovely comment, thank you so much! I have ADHD too, so hearing that my videos work for you even with ADHD is just amazing!! I love making them, but hearing feedback like this makes it all worthwhile
Also you should do a video about deep parts of the Black Sea. Black Sea is like a really big brine pool so it might be interesting. Edit: also Black Sea holds a lot of ancient ships from Ancient Greece and other civilizations so it would be a nice video
I KNEW your voice sounded familiar! I watched your terrarium video of you in the woods creating life in a jar and I thinking “I’ve heard this voice before” You have a very calming one!
Dude........ My daughter is about to turn 12 years old and we watch and listen one of you videos on the way home from school everyday. She absolutely loves learning from you!! Please don't stop making new videos!
These are the most soothing but also informative minidocs on RUclips. I literally look forward to bedtime when I curl up with a glass of wine, my weighted blanket, and my kitties and watch these videos until I fall asleep. Lately it's the only thing that helps with my existential anxiety. Thanks!
It's not often i find myself enjoying programs like this almost as much as i enjoy watching just about anything with David Attenborough. Deep Ocean, Coral Reefs, Jungles, Fungus, Plants and Caves are amongst the most interesting things on the planet. Oh, Insects too. 😅👍
Do you think we’ll ever know how much we affect the ocean by over whaling back in the day? I keep thinking about that, and how the whaling would prevent whale falls from happening.
Some folks in here saying that they like your videos because they put them to sleep! Gosh! I’m here way past my bedtime because this video gets me hyped and I don’t want to go to sleep! Anyway thanks for all your hard work, it truly is wonderful All the best Jules
0:13: 🌊 The deep sea is a food-poor environment where animals rely on food sinking from above or chemosynthesis. 4:38: 🐋 Whale carcasses on the sea-floor provide an evolutionary interface between non-chemosynthetic scavengers and specialized animals at vents and seeps. 8:54: 🐚 The bivalves Xylophaga and Giant Shipworm have evolved specialized traits to consume wood. 12:46: 🦪 Chemosynthetic microbes play a crucial role in the deep-sea ecosystem, providing nutrients for various organisms including Bathymodiolus mussels. 17:31: 🌊 The colonisers of Endurance are predominantly filter feeders, with sea lilies and sea squirts using different methods to obtain food. Recap by Tammy AI
I just discovered your documentaries - these are OUTSTANDING. I cannot believe the quality of work, the editing, all of it - incredible. Thank you so so so much for sharing your passion so that other like-passioned people can feel that spark too! ♥️
Yet another fantastic video Leo. I'd never really thought about sunken ships as any more than just something for corals, etc. to attach to. This has been another eye opening and very informative video from you.
The quality of your work is continually astounding and inspiring. I've always loved the deep sea, and I'm really enjoying this series, especially the section on woodfalls which is an interesting new topic to me. Thank you for all your hard work. It provides at least one busy dad some much needed periods of relaxation and amazement. Love your work, thank you. 🙏
This was breathtaking. I was feeling anxious, so I found your videos and was not disappointed. This might be my favorite one. I love that your videos are very scientific and more advanced than most. The music is perfect for this also. So haunting..

It’s the middle of the night here, and I just woke up. SO happy to see there’s a new video from you to fall back asleep to!! Thank you for making such calming and interesting content.
Ah, what a great reward after a day of work. I'm excited to watch this one. :D 1:45 Seeing the Chimera on the left already makes me smile. Good start. 3:15 I felt a bit proud that I remembered the name Osedax from previous videos. The teaching was successful. (40 tons of whale = 2000 years of marine snow, you really hammered that into my head) 4:45 Wow. The amount of life at display is incredible. You have really boosted my interested in chemosynthetic microbes. I didn't expect them to even live from byproducts from other "lower level" animals. The length of these food chains is astonishing. But I wonder how those mussels get to the wood fall. ...and mere seconds after writing the question you already answered it. This feels really interactive. :) Overall a fantastic video. I thoroughly enjoyed it. (and a little remainder that I had sent you another mail some time ago. Now I know that one of the creatures I show there is a sea squirt.^^ And if it takes you two months to answer, that's still perfectly fine, lol. Good luck with university!)
I love your videos, the work and passion you put into this is astounding. I’m surprised you don’t have your own show. Your voice is literally made for this, documentary voices are sooo important.
at some point in the video, when narrating, it sounds like you're smiling! it brings me great joy to know you're so passionate about your work aa well as sea creatures! amazing work as always! good luck on your future endeavours!!
Just stumbled upon this channel - almost like the universe/RUclips gods knew I was in need of this calming, yet informative, digital masterpiece wizardry. Immediately felt my body relax. My mind slowed down.. and after a few minutes, I found myself feeling truly peaceful. The first mindful moment of peace I've enjoyed in days. Thank you for what you do. Truly admire it. And thoroughly enjoy it. Will be here binging for a while!
Once again, Leo, your stunning combination of video, music, and voice has created a mesmerizing mix of soothing beauty and scientific knowledge. It's even more amazing that you can pull it off with decaying carcasses and detritus feeders....I was almost hypnotized by the way you presented these creatures, and how well adapted and connected they are throughout their ecosystems, and beyond.
Fascinating. I had known, sort of, about how mussels reproduce by flinging their larva into the currents, but I'd got the idea that those larva had a short amount of time to find someplace to settle down. But listening and learning here, I wonder now just how long they really have? It can't be a SHORT trip from seep to whale fall - "tens of kilometers" may not seem far to us with ships and ROVs but that seems like a journey of epic length for a sessile creature! Also, is the same floating-larva method of reproduction used by the bone eating worms and tube worms? I found myself astonished over and over during the video at how many "non mobile" creatures seem to magically appear on the bones and the wood. It's plain that the tube worms did not WALK there, haha, but at the same time it still seems like a miracle that they are there at all. Once more, a wonderfully edited and scripted piece of work. You always put such thought and care into your presentation and it's superb every time. I look forward to the next one!
If you ever get picked up by a major network or production company. Please don’t let them change your creativity, narration or writing. You’re your own brand of meditative serenity. Wonderful.
This is so cool. Deep sea animals are so fascinating and tbh a really good thing to study if we ever wanted to figure out how life on other planets can live without oxygen or other key nutrients.
I love popping in to see your new releases. They are so good, especially the calming, unrushed narration, i could have it on in the background and also listen to it watching it head on. The footage you find is also phenomenal, so good you can even just watch the camera and its crazily good. I've been here a couple months, and heres to many more :DD
I started with a video about deep sea giants and now I've been hooked for about 2 hours. Your videos are amazingly done, front your narration to the clips and background music. As well as incredibly educational. Thank you.
i love these videos. The complexity of creation never ceases to amaze me! I play these when I get off work. Don't take this the wrong way, but your voice helps me sleep
Exploring the underwater world not only fills us with wonder but also reminds us of the importance of protecting these precious ecosystems for future generations.
@@NaturalWorldFacts They really do! I've been playing multiple of your videos when falling asleep daily ever since I first found your channel, and all I can say is: My ADHD and my sleep are very grateful for your videos!
Wow.. I feel like the luckiest person in the world, now I've watched this video and found your channel. This was just what I needed, in so many ways! Im very much looking forward to watch the rest of your video's. Thank you so much!
Your deep sea series has always had these melancholic, terrifying and relaxing elements. Amazing narration to immerse whithin the divine beauty and terror of the unknown. Pure gem!
Wow, your clips are beautiful: Very nicely spoken and always with an amazing, wonderful choice of background-sound. Very calming and interesting.. loving it!
I realize you are younger, but you are amazing, I love science and your soothing narration helps me get through tough moments during that day and learn so much more about how complex our little world really is and how it all fits together! Much respect from Canada 🇨🇦
I love your videos Leo! Keep up the amazing and talented work. These are my go to videos when I have a hard time falling asleep or when studying. Your voice is very soothing and unique it keeps me interested along with the amazing visuals you use as well!
I watch natural history documentaries voraciously, and I'm better versed than most in marine biology. And yet here you showed me several sights and interesting pathways life has taken I was completely unaware of. Thank you!
This is so interesting. I just stumbled across your channel. Whale carcasses remind me of the dead trees lying on the ground in the woods. It has always amazed me how much life a dead tree supports. Anything from squirrel and woodpecker homes to mushrooms, moss, insects and more. I was able to witness a huge cottonwood tree die from a lightning strike. I watched it over the years in stages of decay. It took nearly a decade to finally fall over. Now it's a log on the ground still supporting life almost 15 years after it was killed by that bolt Edit: oh my gosh I made this comment before seeing the part about fallen trees. Amazing 😁

I love listening to these vidoes when at work. I learn something new with each video. Keep up the great work!!
Love the way you narrate these. It’s unreal. Such an interesting, otherworldly habitat
The voice goes so smoothly tearing the dark of the Ocean.
Thanks, I'm really happy to hear that :)
Every time i have trouble falling asleep your videos always help me without fail. You've got the most soothing voice!
I must sya that you all have put in a remarkable effort. Very good, and excellent voice as well
I started with a video about deep sea giants and now I've been hooked for about 2 hours. Your videos are amazingly done, front your narration to the clips and background music. As well as incredibly educational. Thank you.
i love these videos. The complexity of creation never ceases to amaze me! I play these when I get off work. Don't take this the wrong way, but your voice helps me sleep
Exploring the underwater world not only fills us with wonder but also reminds us of the importance of protecting these precious ecosystems for future generations.
What drew me to this channel is your voice. Its the same as Brian Cox. Its so calming. Can listen for hours.
Great show 🙂... I like the ocean 🌊🏖️
Another great video friend, this kind of documentary is often better than those shown on TV
I love your videos so much, they’re relaxing without being boring and are perfect when I need something to watch before bed.
I'm glad I decided to subscribe, these videos and the gentle narrating voice really calm my ADHD when I try to sleep!
Thank you so much for this comment - I can absolutely relate to that, so I’m thrilled my videos help you in that way!
@@NaturalWorldFacts They really do! I've been playing multiple of your videos when falling asleep daily ever since I first found your channel, and all I can say is: My ADHD and my sleep are very grateful for your videos!
Wow.. I feel like the luckiest person in the world, now I've watched this video and found your channel. This was just what I needed, in so many ways! Im very much looking forward to watch the rest of your video's. Thank you so much!
18:00 the sea squirt is singing 😂 (beautiful video btw, this part just made me laugh lol)
Your deep sea series has always had these melancholic, terrifying and relaxing elements. Amazing narration to immerse whithin the divine beauty and terror of the unknown. Pure gem!
I love watching your videos. They are so informative, and your voice is soothing. Thank you and keep up the great work!!!

I realize you are younger, but you are amazing, I love science and your soothing narration helps me get through tough moments during that day and learn so much more about how complex our little world really is and how it all fits together! Much respect from Canada 🇨🇦

I love your work. Thanks!
I love your videos Leo! Keep up the amazing and talented work. These are my go to videos when I have a hard time falling asleep or when studying. Your voice is very soothing and unique it keeps me interested along with the amazing visuals you use as well!
Lovely video as always thanks.watching from sweet 🌞 saint lucia 🇱🇨 keep up the good work
I simply cannot believe that there are deep sea creatures built to eat wood. I found this video extremely educational.
I watch natural history documentaries voraciously, and I'm better versed than most in marine biology. And yet here you showed me several sights and interesting pathways life has taken I was completely unaware of. Thank you!
This is so interesting. I just stumbled across your channel. Whale carcasses remind me of the dead trees lying on the ground in the woods. It has always amazed me how much life a dead tree supports. Anything from squirrel and woodpecker homes to mushrooms, moss, insects and more. I was able to witness a huge cottonwood tree die from a lightning strike. I watched it over the years in stages of decay. It took nearly a decade to finally fall over. Now it's a log on the ground still supporting life almost 15 years after it was killed by that bolt
Edit: oh my gosh I made this comment before seeing the part about fallen trees. Amazing 😁
Discovered Yehezke Raz's amazing music through this. Really like the music choices for these videos, they add so much to the atmosphere.
Agree the music is incredible!
Thank you for the programme , wonderful job
Very underappreciated theme. Thanks for the video!
No worries ☺️ Thanks for watching!
Soothing sounds and voice night night
Screw the app, I enjoy falling to sleep to Natural World Facts! It's like ASMR.
I'm amazed, im disturbed, I'm so grateful to the work that went into this. Decay is an extant form of life
Your voice is incredibly soothing and it is the perfect guide through the amazing voyage to the abyss ✨ thank you for your wonderful work
Another great vid. Thank you Leo
Thank you so much!
