Can’t believe that I watch an hour long documentary about Mollusks while I’m on painkillers with a damaged spine. My life has meaning again, may the gods of the mollusks heal me and the immortal snail may pardon me.
As a biology nerd, we need more documentaries like this. I heavily appreciate the way you get into the taxonomy of these creatures and talk about the evolutionary branches that they’ve taken. Things like that are so damn cool!!
I would like to give this the highest score out of all the videos on marine life ecology. The footage is truly amazing, and the narration and music are sophisticated. I would like to express my gratitude to the creators.
The only issue with it was the statement that That cuddlefish tongues have evolved into spears quite the opposite. In fact, their tongue is a radula. What they are hunting with is, in fact, their very own set of two tentacles, as oppossed to their eight arms!
Absolutely stunning filmography. Superb narration. Exquisite accompanying music. So, so educational. I love snails and slugs on land and always watch them, but having seen them in an aquatic environment, I am so hooked now. The molluscs are simply beautiful. Extremely educational and simple to follow. Really opened my eyes to this astonishing world of gastropods and cellophods. Thank you.
Love all the Cephalopods, a little more squid action would be nice. Nudibranchs are lovely, too. Saw some that I haven't seen before. More about Cone snails, and other snails that carry around devastating lances. And some pelagic snails, too. Very pretty. Well, this is just a tasting menu, we can find the details elsewhere. All in all a solid B+/A-
What a great video 😍🤩🤩🤩😍 Thank you so much for these impressive images inclusive such a nice moderation and beautiful music. It's art within art. 😘😘😘🤗👏👏👏
Totally wonderful! Loved the music, so appropriately added that it didn’t clash with or overpower the film. Lovely narration. All round brilliant, thanks 😃
This was so interesting! I loved that there wasn't any heartbreaking stuff about how they're endangered, etc. No negativity. Very refreshing. Thank you! ❤
Nicely done, although you said bivalves are called so for the two orifices they have to breath and eat and the name refers to the two pieces of their articulated shell
THANK YOU THANK U FOR THIS VIDEO I SUFFER FROM INSOMENIA AND THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED GREAT JOB SUCH BEAUTIFUL SEA CREATURES ARE SO INTERTING TO LEARN ABOUT.
I never listen to nature documentaries. I only watch. I may turn on the captions temporarily if I need some info. The silence helps me relax. I want to be there, with the animals. If I was there, I wouldn't be hearing any narration or music. Plus, when the ads come in I don't risk a heart attack...
Million years,but their ages never pass three years If one of their species can have ages like humans, maybe they can learn social structures like dolphins? @@kazkk_87
Even though their lives are short, they still manage to pass on a lot of beneficial behaviors. You’re right though. The real problem is that they’re not social animals. If they were social then we’d definitely be screwed
I think it is great introductory video with lots of captivating images and videos. For more detailed knowledge one must find other sources but I understand that detailed description and other interesting examples would be overwhelming for novice listener.
This was an absolutely amazing documentary. I was genuinely shocked when I saw your amount of subscribers & views, this is legit top tier quality. You’ll have millions of subs & views soon
While I really liked the soundtrack, especially in certain places, I feel that a lot of opportunities to more fully explore this large grouping of animals was missed. No discussion at all about their use of poisons for example.
"The mimic octopus is the first known species able to pass itself off as another animal." Charles Darwin studied animal mimicry, so this statement is either misworded or just wrong. I think they meant the first known animal that can mimic multiple species.
Did that one trickster octopi just toss the clams carcass outta the shell or was that some sort of refuse? It appeared to be showing off like YEAH THIS MY SHELL NOW. IM NOT EVEN HUNGRY, JUST FEEL LIKE BEING A BUFFALO BILL RN. 🐚🐃🐙
The only issue with it was the statement that That cuddlefish tongues have evolved into spears quite the opposite. In fact, their tongue is a radula. What they are hunting with is, in fact, their very own set of two tentacles, as oppossed to their eight arms!
Just a side note. The music is just as loud as the narration. I found it distracting and overwhelming. Auditory processing disorder.. maybe? But If I have that, it's common enough to make it worthwhile adjusting the music volume to increase accessibility. The focus should be on the narration - the music should just hangout in the background, setting the mood, not stealing the scene.
I find it remarkable that I’ve just spent an hour engrossed in a documentary about mollusks, all while on painkillers and nursing a damaged spine. Suddenly, life seems to have regained its purpose. May the benevolent gods of mollusks grant me swift healing, and may the immortal snail offer me its forgiveness 😅😅😅
Me, about to go to bed: alright just one more short video RUclips algorithm: you really want to watch this hour long documentary about molluscs Me: damn you right
Other way around, AI videos can commonly use stock voices similar to this, and try to mimic documentaries or commentary patterning. If this /is/ AI narrated and paced tho, it'd be the best I've ever seen cause it doesn't mispronounce a single word, generates realistic vocal intricacies, and even uses appropriate tone shifts. None of which I've ever seen an AI do before.
Top-notch. just because a lifeform doesnt use artifical machines and tools it doesnt mean that they are stupid or uninteligent. as a matter of fact, uninteligent/stupid is the lifeform who needs artifical tools to get thru life. especially when they destroy the planet and other lifeforms with it in the process.
Beautiful marine videography …close-up’s galore of a marvelous taxonomic range of ancient animals that go schloop and schlurp, and which lend a great deal of weird wonder to our world. ALSO (ahem), simply ignore all the human pond scum leaving comments which complain about “background music.” In fact, the music, which is generally dreamy, droning, and maybe mildly surrealistic when the images benefit from such, still features stretches of the sort of dry, classical music which scored all those 4th grade, film strips we used to watch in the library 150 years ago. A blissful, little, audiovisual-nature treat if you’re into that sort of thing. If you aren’t, give my regards to the rest of the pond scum, and off you go then!
The music ruins it. It's annoying for one, and way too loud. Can't even hear the narrator. People watch nature documentaries to relax, not listen to shrieky music while straining to understand the narrator.

Thats what opiates do.

Yeah I feel like I need wikipedia open the entire time to learn anything from most documentaries nowadays.
@@clione00 porque no los dos?
@@forest4167 fair enough. Just weird to complain about music in a documentary, it’s not the same as an academic session
i freaking love mollusks so much. This. Is. the 3rd best. documentary. ive ever. seen
bravo! Excellent!
What are your top two I must know

There are many fascinating freshwater snails that can be kept in an aquarium. 🥰👍
Very interesting video! I didn't know mollusks had such complex and mysterious lives. Can you do more about deep sea creatures? 🐚🌊
The music overpowered the narration, otherwise a very well done documentary
Fantastic! 🥳 Great photography, narration & amazing highlights of this unique group of life. 💜 Nature is so Beautiful & wonderfully weird. 😘

Waiting for a doctor's appointment, might as well watch something about some of my favorite animals lmao
Thanks for the content
Wonderful work! Just one question: 01:05 are you sure mollusks are only 6 million years old? 600 MYO is more likely.
Yea 6 million had me freaking out. Thats like when hominids came on the scene
Glad somebody else noticed this, I think its probably just a typo in the script or something, mollusks are some of the oldest organisms
Totally wonderful! Loved the music, so appropriately added that it didn’t clash with or overpower the film. Lovely narration. All round brilliant, thanks 😃
BEAUTIFUL documentary, immersive music, and breathtaking videography…10/10 ❤❤❤ well done sir!
Great photography, script and narration
This was so interesting! I loved that there wasn't any heartbreaking stuff about how they're endangered, etc. No negativity. Very refreshing. Thank you! ❤
8:54 reminds me of old-school spongebob. Both the scene prior and the music that follows.
Really well put 2gether.👍 Thanx!!!😁

The narrator has a great voice, but i can't fall asleep with this music.
If octopi lived long enough to teach their children we'd be screwed
- *I agree!* 👍🏽
Not really. They have existed for 1/2 billion years and they never needed complex social structures
Million years,but their ages never pass three years
If one of their species can have ages like humans, maybe they can learn social structures like dolphins? @@kazkk_87
We are screwed...they might survive😂

I think it is great introductory video with lots of captivating images and videos. For more detailed knowledge one must find other sources but I understand that detailed description and other interesting examples would be overwhelming for novice listener.
There aren’t many detailed sources for these creatures. Mollusks are under-researched and identification guides and books about them are uncommon.
This was an absolutely amazing documentary. I was genuinely shocked when I saw your amount of subscribers & views, this is legit top tier quality. You’ll have millions of subs & views soon
New sub here! Keep up the awesome work!
Excellent narrator!
The background music is too loud so the narrator cannot be heard
You can hear him fine
Great video. Was that narrator the voice of a Thalmor?
although the music is nice, it is also quite dominant and distracting. the underwater world is quiet. but beautiful documentary.
You ever been deep under water? It's a long way from quiet, sound travels much easier in water than air.
Spectacular videography!!!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful! I love the music! Thanks ❤️ from a person who moves banana slugs off the street so they don’t get run over!
"very discreet animals, that love peace & quiet" ME TOO !
- Ahahahaha. Same, but *every* once in a while I like things *loud && crazy* 🤪 😜!
Excelente Documental !

2:15 night time cricket chirping on a daytime beach...
TWO reasons why you won't hear that.
"The mimic octopus is the first known species able to pass itself off as another animal." Charles Darwin studied animal mimicry, so this statement is either misworded or just wrong. I think they meant the first known animal that can mimic multiple species.
The video also claims that all mullosks reproduce sexually, but a few snails can reproduce through parthenogenosis (asexual cloning).
Did that one trickster octopi just toss the clams carcass outta the shell or was that some sort of refuse? It appeared to be showing off like YEAH THIS MY SHELL NOW. IM NOT EVEN HUNGRY, JUST FEEL LIKE BEING A BUFFALO BILL RN. 🐚🐃🐙
12:10 to 12:15
cuttlebone looks more like mini surf board 😂😂😂
Very captivating doc (:
1:03 "Over six million years old." Yes. Considerably. Might as well have said, "More than five minutes old."
That was the strangest part in the whole documentary.. 🫣🤔🤯
I think he meant over 600 million years, not 6 million
The only issue with it was the statement that
That cuddlefish tongues have evolved into spears quite the opposite. In fact, their tongue is a radula. What they are hunting with is, in fact, their very own set of two tentacles, as oppossed to their eight arms!
1:04 its gotta be way more than 6 million years, SURELY
Just a side note. The music is just as loud as the narration. I found it distracting and overwhelming. Auditory processing disorder.. maybe?

Thanks to you😊
Is the voiceover one of the high elves from Skyrim??
Hows the infiltration of Skyrim going? Hail to the Aldmeri Dominion.
Six millions? They are way, way older, the Nautilus was a mollusc too, and the Ammonites.. Snails, slugs, Octopuses.. 600 million probably...
Who put the music together for this? Give them all raises!
I cant see snails the the same way because of junji ito 😂 thanks 😮

Namaste
I'm on the side that thinks the music is over the top.
Nature ...... 😻
1:13 That is the most cutest thing I've EVER SEEN! So freaking adorable! 🥰
Idk why this is the most viewed part of the video: 19:05
34:55 Larvae live a planktonic life, meaning free-swimming. They do not live a platonic life, meaning without love.
At 1:03 the narration describes Mollusca as more than 6,000,000 years old, but actually they emerged almost 600,000,000 years ago.
Keep on Dreaming. The Earth is not that old. Maybe they lived on Mars.
@Sammy-lz1vi earth is over 4 billion years old actually. Mars and Earth formed at around the same time, so they're also relatively close in age
48:35 Ugh, what is that thing?
39:39 I'm pretty sure it's 6 months rather than 6 weeks. That's, at least, what every other documentary has said.
Very cool 😎
Is the narration AI generated?
That swimming mud flap is by far the most elite
These documentaries further my belief in a higher power and help me in this magical crazy world.
16:05 Bivalves do have eyes... they detect light. They're not compound eyes, like we humans have, but they do in fact have eyes.
They're not really eyes, tho
So so good
Happy SnowFurfee i hope everyone is having a great Night i wish you ALL more great fame fortune

Fantastic! (Although it's made me feel rather plain. 🙂)
Chiton was pronounced incorrectly 😮
10:09 mate this isnt a slug thats a symbiote that crash landed from klyntar
Me, about to go to bed: alright just one more short video
RUclips algorithm: you really want to watch this hour long documentary about molluscs
Me: damn you right
6 million years old? Try hundreds of millions
Nearly 6 *hundred* million! At the time, our ancestors were basically aquatic pasta noodles, and algae had just started colonizing land.
@@shaddononalgae and fungi, in the form of lichen.
Is this an ai voice and script?
I want to finish the documentary but the music is so piercing, it feels like knives in my ears… I lasted 19 minutes.
I can't put my finger on it but I swear other than the videography this whole documentary feels AI generated. The narration, the music, the pacing.
Other way around, AI videos can commonly use stock voices similar to this, and try to mimic documentaries or commentary patterning.
If this /is/ AI narrated and paced tho, it'd be the best I've ever seen cause it doesn't mispronounce a single word, generates realistic vocal intricacies, and even uses appropriate tone shifts. None of which I've ever seen an AI do before.
Background music is way too loud and poorly mixed in. It difficult for people with auditory peocessing disorder or mobike speakers.
15:34 they are all so unique
Neat 😊
Top-notch.
just because a lifeform doesnt use artifical machines and tools it doesnt mean that they are stupid or uninteligent. as a matter of fact, uninteligent/stupid is the lifeform who needs artifical tools to get thru life. especially when they destroy the planet and other lifeforms with it in the process.
36:25 being a hermaphrodite does NOT mean an organism is capable of self-reproduction
Molluscs have only existed for six million years?

Music is horrible
WHY IS THE MUSIC SO LOUD? I can't even heard the narrator! And it's crappy music too
35:20 Larvae are pronounced larvAE (larv-ay), not larv-I (larv-ai)
background music ruens it....
Wow!
Wait..did he really say "over 6 million years old"? Yea, try 500 million...Editors dropped the ball on that one😂😂😂
My thoughts exactly. I was like hmm well technically that’s correct, but it’s not as impressive as something closer to their age haha
- Yes !
On the Cuttlefish tentacles being their tongues lol
And "spears" at that
After cuttlefish lay and fertilize their eggs, they cuttle.
- 😂😂 How do *YOU* know !?
Music is too loud. For some of us this is actually a real problem. And it’s not needed. It’s the content that matters, the music should be lower.
Still watchable though
Perfect mix to drift off to sleep with
Can anyone explain how the background was set up for this video?
The music is awful. Detracts from the beauty of the documentary
tldw; nothing to do with land snails 💀
😭 wtf
