    Man! With the way you make your videos, I feel like I'm a kid watching old school PBS. Keep it up! More of this, please and thank you.
  • @Lylaris_or_Garuk
    3:40 I believe that’s a “basket star” So yes, a starfish type critter, but more like a brittle star! I’m pretty sure they can get huge too ⭐️
  • @TheHmm43
    I really love how you embrace the idea of discovering that you were mistaken about something
  • @VelvetWurm
    I really like the direction your channel is going. It’s so gentle and enjoyable for all ages.
  • @ShiZilla
    Starfish always seemed otherworldly to me, like little jelly aliens, I can't be the only one who thinks they shouldn't be called starfish because they aren't all 5 armed or "fish" as they are normally portrayed
  • At 2:03 there’s one starfish that is flipped over and looks like someone dad getting from the couch
  • @kami_kuro_
    I think the creature at 3:40 is a Basket star (Gorgonocephalidae ?) ? It has a distinct center and arms that divide in a lot of places, like a tree branch Seen like that, it looks like those dried ramen you put in water for a quick meal
  • This production is masterpiece. The colors, the shots, the music, and the narrator speaking slow and clear which is easy to listen for me whose english is not my first language. I love this so much!
  • @EviMeuris
    I love all your videos, but this one was extra interesting because starfish have always intrigued me and I know nothing about them. I’ve learned so much from this video! Thank you for all your hard work and effort ❤
  • @vortexventamy
    The piano adds so much to this video I absolutely adore it
  • @Elidhion
    We humans have something cool in common with starfishes (and other echinoderms). Vertebrates and echinoderms are Deuterostomes, meaning that during embryo development we both develop the anus first and the mouth last while creating our digestive tract. So yeah, echinoderms are the closest relatives among invertebrates to vertebrates (not considering other chordates of course)
  • @deadlunatik3405
    You’ve made me want to learn more about the ocean from when I started watching you months ago
  • I was an astronomy major in college and I was certain that there were several other things I didn’t know about when graduation hit. Thank you for the engaging and intriguing content; you rock!
  • @bobcharlie2337
    It's like watching Steve after he got a college education in Blues Clues. The gentlness in his voice makes me want to look closer at my screen to see what he is showing us. 🤣 Video is great. I knew Starfish had eyes, but i didn't know where.
  • @Basementjacks

    I love all the effort and passion you put in each video, and I'm sad you aren't getting more recognition. Please keep up the amazing work💕
