As the tide recedes along the shores, it uncovers a truly alien world of rock pools. At first look, the landscape presents little more than a barren, lifeless stretch of thick mud and rotting seaweed, strewn with boulders. But these features come together to create a unique habitat. Twice a day, miles of sand, gullies, reefs and rock pools are exposed, bringing into view a wealth of rarely seen marine life. Here, the sparse isolated pools open a window on the many conflicts that these creatures must content with in order to survive. Each rock pool is a tiny but complex ecosystem, home to crabs, shrimps, and all manner of incredible creatures.
All the footage in this video is completely original and was filmed by the NWF team - aka Leo and his girlfriend Ella :D

Thank you so much to Endel for sponsoring this video!! The first 100 people to download ENDEL by clicking bit.ly/3DXRzxr will gain free access for 1 week :D This video is a little different to normal - I mainly use public domain deep sea footage from other major organisations for my deep sea series, but in this video all the footage is my own! Rock pools are incredibly beautiful and are so easily accessible, yet they're still really overlooked. I decided to head out and film this on-location to highlight just how close you can come to the marine world by visiting rock pools and coming face to face with this staggering ecosystem yourself. So, I apologise if the change in style or cinematography is a little jarring - this is not a 'new normal' for the deep sea series, and the usual videos with ROV footage and alien-like creatures will return, but nonetheless this is a project I'm very excited to share with you all :)
Thank you
I thoroughly enjoyed it, thank you.
As a child I loved rockpools you could find so many interesting things in there! It’s a shame things just aren’t as bustling as they used to be! We used to have a pond at our old primary school and go fishing and learn about all the species there but even that’s closed now, this is the sort of stuff I want to teach my kids
I’ve seen your videos from the beginning and watching your channel grow is exciting! You always had great content using the sources you had, but now you’ve added a much more personal touch. I love seeing your passion for nature, the family member a lot of use tend to neglect. I don’t want to say you would be great to fill Sir David Attenborough’s shoes (there isn’t a way to really haha) because I feel on a human level you are both on par with each other. Rather he has much more experience and wisdom that comes with time. So I can’t wait for you to experience more and more of this world and gain more wisdom. Thank you for doing this for us and for the earth!! It’s a lot of hard work and it shows!! Also spectacular writing!! Thanks again for doing this and you are doing an amazing job.
loved the video as a native of Jersey and the channel islands I dont see much on our wild life and sea life shown in a video like this so its good to see something like this as its something we all see as kids but few ever look into also if you do want to do more of these types of videos I dont think anyone would mind each island in the channel has amazing ecosystems great job cant wait to see more
This sort of live commentary combined with your classic calming narration really is similar to a lot of the nature docs in watched as a kid. Def some of your greatest content yet.
Thank you!! I’ll definitely be making more videos like this, really appreciate the kind words
Yes.. really great content keep up the great work...thank you for the great job!!
Absolutely true! This reminds me when I was a kid spending night with my cousins in our grandparents room. ❤ how I miss the simplicity of our life back then.
Yeah he is amazing, it's a good thing I discovered him today. His voice is lovely.
It sounds like a video my middle school science teacher would play
I never would of imagined that the beautiful sounding voice narrating these videos would belong to someone so young. Your wealth of knowledge on all things oceanic is astounding, I feel like you are the next David Attenborough. Well done mate, looking forward to seeing your future content
Thank you for putting a smile on my face ☺️
I was just gonna say the same!
Yeah 👍
yeah you better call BBC, if they were smart they would call you.
@@budrobinson7965 Thought the same. ^^
Lifting up rocks is like a kinder egg surprise, sometimes you see epic animals hidden in there, and sometimes you end up with a snake bite. Truly marvelous.
Hope he’s putting them back where he found them cos it didn’t look like it
@@Tltltltltltkl quit your virtue signalling. The rocks he moves is nothing short of what the tide itself will do when it comes rushing in. That kind of landscape isn’t going to react negatively to a few rocks being turned upside down.
What eggs are you buying!?
@@davidecascapera987the ones with snakes in them, duh
Indeed it truly is marvelous. I once flipped over large rock and under it were two brittle stars so i decided to see if there were other brittle stars under the other rocks and there were. These tide pools, rocks and the creatures that live in these environments are truly marvelous.
I'm studying to become a marine biologist. I'm absolutely burned-out out this week, really out there between a part time job and uni. It's really late at night as I write this. I decided to take a break and watch something, anything really and your channel came across. I can't thank you enough for doing all this work! Thank you so much for reminding me why Im studying so hard. Thank you, really 💜
Thanks for watching, Val. Stick with it and push through, I really hope it becomes more manageable soon and that you’re able to enjoy the course more as time goes on. It really is worth it - the oceans are such a breathtaking other world, and in the end the hard work will all pay off. Wishing you all the best!!!! I too have just started my marine bio studies, so I think we’re in very similar situations. The best way to keep focused is to just try to remind yourself of why you’re doing this, of what made you fall in love with marine life in the first place. It’s a world of natural wonders like no other, home to incredible ecosystems and fascinating organisms. There’s no other course quite like it :)
I second this! Thanks for the content
Ah. Quite a qoincidence my grandfather used to study shore biology and tide pools. I’ll definaltly show this vid to him
Oh brilliant! I really hope he enjoys
@@NaturalWorldFacts he did! and thanks again for uploading
That’s wonderful news - thank you so much!!
So much love down here 🥲🥺🫂
Hey man, I don't want to be rude, but you spelled definitely wrong. Sorry if that came off as mean
You are very natural in front of a camera. You're really good at this dude I Didn't realize you were soo young. please never stop, there will be a big torch to carry when attenborough passes. Thank you sooo much
Thank you! Attenborough is a hero of mine so this comment really put a smile on my face :)
Science communication is amazing and helpful for the world 👏🏼
I agree!
@@resurrectedhelicoprion haha I’m beginning to think he’s invincible myself, if I had to choose someone to watch and only one person for the rest of my life it would have to be David - and then this guy I can see following in his footsteps - we need to get this guy recognised
Sir David will never die! Never! 🙅🏻♀️
I like you branching out and taking a risk by shooting your own footage and appearing on camera showing us around. Keep growing. Love your work.
Thank you so much!! I’m so glad you enjoyed this style of video, I’ll be making many more like this when I get the chance 😁
I find rock pools really interesting. It makes you focus on the smaller, less impressive organisms which normally don’t get a spotlight. I also really like this style of video, I’d love to see more
Less impressive in the fact we don’t know a lot about them
I believe Sir David has a contender in this young gent. Love your work, mate. Keep it up. I'm always so happy to see another of your videos.
Thank you, that’s really lovely of you! I can’t wait to make many many more :)
That's what I've been thinking too!
Now we know how young and good in this field you are, we can let Sir David to retire and wish you a very bright future because you are astonishing! Keep it up with this marvellous work!
Yes, I agree. Excellent work. Only change one thing - a little slower moving with the wide panning video so we can see everything without getting dizzy!
I was actually going to post the same thing! I have been enjoying these videos for months, but seeing this made me think "huh, I think we have found Sir David Attenborough's successor."
Damn, I feel bad that this kid can no longer use footage from other sources and give us his wonderful and informative narration on top of it. The shores of New Jersey aren't filled with an abundance of interesting life forms, that's for sure. I bet we hear his voice on some real documentaries in a few years, however. Or maybe some other type of voice over work? He does have an enchanting voice, and that's a fact.
I can still use other footage, and have many vids lined up in my usual style :D It was just one organisation that took issue with me using their footage. With many others, I have a number of friends and contacts who allow me to use their footage. This video is a one-off as I happened to be near Jersey’s rock pools while on holiday in the Channel Islands and figured I’d film an original video about these spectacular ecosystems! Stay tuned for more of my classic deep sea content soon! I definitely hope to narrate some real documentaries someday, that’d be a dream come true. Thank you so much for the lovely comment ☺️
@@NaturalWorldFacts I look forward to anything you have in the pipeline, my dude. I loved your Mariana Trench stuff so much! While I'm no fan of Social Media, I'm glad there are platforms for talented people like yourself, KallMeKris and others to flex their creative muscles and hopefully get paid for their efforts. You'll get there. I have no doubt. Thanks so much for the reply.
Thanks John, I really appreciate that! Drop me a comment anytime you like :)
@josh johnson Thank you so much!!
It’s Jersey dude, not New Jersey !
Leo: *picks up crab* Crab: HOW VERY DARE YOU.
I've always been intrigued by Tidal flats and tide pools since i was young. Exploring those in northern california and up to washington state has always been one of my favorite activities. It made me want to become a marine biologist. I'm an electrician now but i still have a fascination with the ocean, which i return to frequently. Thanks for this video brother!
Thanks for sharing such a wonderful memory!
WOAH!!!! It was very mind blowing to hear your voice coming from something other than the void, but it was wonderful to see the person behind the voice! You and Atomic Frontier are the new generation that give me hope in the future. Keep up the amazing work!!!
This has really put a smile on my face, thank you so much for the lovely comment ☺️
Who the hell was offended by this enough to click dislike? Narration is really good guys, well done.
Thanks Iain :)
Agreed. :3
I love this channel. Anyone that dislikes is most likely a troll or whiney piss baby.
Trolls that are scared of rock pools obviously. Seriously, this was my go to channel when I did school lessons via Zoom with my nephew.
Dislike can help the algorithm
Mans actually becoming the next David Attenborough. Such and honor to see you grow and evolve your videos just like the creatures you study and educate people on. Keep it up!
I just want to say this channel is everything I could have ever wished for in marine life exploration, it really does give me a boost to keep learning, and believe me I’ve read almost everything out there but you simplify and narrate it so beautifully, honestly hats off to you!! I always look forward to your uploads.
Wow, thank you so much! This really does make me feel so motivated to keep on going and make more videos like this. I can’t wait to share more
When I was a little kid, my brothers and I couldn’t WAIT to go to the beach in Florida every year. My brothers wanted the waves and the sand, but I would not rest until one of the elders that went with us took me to a bay or anywhere there were rock pools. One year, the week that we went, the current brought in TONS of this mixture of Sargasso weed and some other fine green algae. The entire 10 mile stretch of beach was completely covered along with about 20’ of the water. EVERYONE was all bummed out, EXCEPT ME! I LOVED it! I was in heaven with all of the creatures and sea life that it brought in with it! I’ll never forget that summer. And neither will all of my family(for different reasons!) I love your videos, my friend! They are a main reason that I look forward to logging on every morning. Thank You!
That’s such a wonderful memory, thank you for sharing it here. I was always exactly the same! We’d go on holiday to the beach and the whole family would be sunbathing or lying on towels on the sandy bits. Meanwhile, I’d run off to the seaweed beds and the rock pools with my bucket. It was brilliant!
If you ever get the chance. Go offshore and snorkel a large live floating sargassum matt. The amount of miniature life in that mess is utterly amazing and the huge variety in the column of fish cascading down under it.
You sound like me as a kid.
On a side note it nice to see you getting sponsors, people are appreciating the work tog are doing:)
Agreed!!!
I love how whimsical the tone of your videos are, it really makes you get the idea that nature is mysterious and magical and I feel like people forget that! Thanks for reminding me ❤️
I spent 6 weeks every summer until I was 16 picking through tide pools on the coast of Newfoundland. Thank you for a walk through my youth ❤️
Many commenters have already mentioned the astounding quality of your work and the charisma of your narration, but I also wanted to point out how well written your scripts are. You could definitely have a career in narration, but also most certainly as a successful author. Many thanks for sharing your passion with the world, your videos are always enthralling :) Also, as a non native English speaker, I always appreciate the CC that comes with your vids. Oops my editing the comment got rid of your like, silly me…
Thank you, that really means a lot :)
I was actually more invested in this video simply because you went to the source yourself and narrated what it is that was happening. And even more so when you interacted with the animals themselves, while being respectful
Thank you for this - reading your comment makes me keen to get back out there and make more videos in this style!
There's just something about a person that isn't just "talk" you know? That go and interact and live out there with the wild. It makes the best difference
I like that, and I definitely agree!!
@@NaturalWorldFactsI want you to know I encourage you to ALSO make derivative content,as they make some of us just happy! (It makes me happy to see additions to scientific work rather than redundancy)
Natural World: Low tide Natural World Facts: That's a free pedicure
😂😂 made me snort my tea!
Was not expecting this however, I thoroughly enjoyed seeing "The Narrator" in front of the same location as being discussed. You did a phenomenal job. I hope to see you as an eloquent highly educated crocodile hunter level show on animal planet or discovery channel some day.
Here we are yet again, honestly this series has rekindled my love for the ocean and marine biology and for that I thank you.
I’m so so happy to hear that! It’s my pleasure, that’s the best outcome I could have ever hoped for
You are the fucking single reason i think about becoming a marine biologist, thanks for making such awesome documentations.
Do it!!! You won’t regret it. Thanks for the lovely comment 😁
@@NaturalWorldFacts im thanking you so much for helping me in my journey to enter the hydrobiology university here in Romania, i could never imagine myself doing something other than studying the life forms in water bodies
@Koblet I hope it goes really well, I’m sure you’ll have an absolutely wonderful time!!
Language, please! 😉
We need more like you guys.
When I was little, we would visit my aunt who lived along the beach in the northeast - we would scramble over rocks, exploring the rock pools and collecting shells. This really brought me back there, thank you for the lovely video.
My wife and I love exploring tide pools so much to see and photograph
As a kid, my parents would take me on holidays all along the Mediterranean coast and I would together, with my brother, always scoure the tide pools, collecting all lifeforms we could find. They always struck us as mysterious microcosms, much more interesting than our own, barren sandy north-sea beaches in Holland. We used scoop-nets, our bare hands or a clothespin attached to a rope and outfitted with bait to lure the crabs. We would keep all organisms in a bucket the whole day and would always draw a crowd of kids to see what we had found. We once had a baby octopus who released ink into the bucket, rendering the entire scene pitch black. Then after, he clambered out and vanished... Ahh the memories, such good times exploring!
Those are some truly wonderful recollections! I had similar childhood experiences on England’s rockpools, but never found something as exciting as an octopus! Yet still, even the isopods as shrimps kept me enthralled for hours. I never wanted to leave, but the tide always forced my visits to be cut short. It’s incredible - a breathtaking world that renews and replenishes every few hours. An entire ecosystem that is birthed and destroyed each day!
Time for a trip to the Mediterranean my friend!😎 Tide pools can be found all over the world, each with their own uniquely adaptated organisms.
That would be incredible!! And you’re absolutely right, rock pool creatures around the world are so different yet all equally well adapted to such a unique habitat. What else do you find in the Med that might have eluded me here in the UK?
@@NaturalWorldFacts It's been a long time (I'm 34) but I'd say: sea urchins. If you reach below their spikes and apply gentle but firm pressure, they come off the rock giving you a look at their bellies lined with manifold suckers on spaghetti-ish arms. Put them on the shore and see their spikes glisten and dance in the sunlight as they slowly make their way back to the nearest body of water. Also, hermit crabs are fun too. They'll come popping out to have a look at their surroundings if you leave the shell alone, face-up for a bit. Surely worth a visit sometime. Keep it up with the great content!✌
Knowing you’re a young man makes me excited to see you do this for years!
Sir you have absolutely no business having such a calming voice and being that cute while making such high quality content, absolute gem of a channel
Thank you ☺️
this might probably be the one and only channel in youtube that i would have completely zero problems on spending my money to became a member. it's all worth it, keep up the good videos!!
Thank you so so much for your support, it really goes a long way and it means a lot that you’re enjoying my videos enough to want to support the channel. 💛💛 thanks for making my day!
From a land-locked location: *thank you* for this mini excursion. I love the Sea and miss it everyday.
Thank you for watching and supporting the channel! As a Londoner I can relate to how it feels to live far from the sea. This was the first time I’d seen the ocean in over 2 years, and it’s just such a magical place to be. If you ever get the chance to visit or look around in rock pools, get stuck in!! There’s nowhere quite like it.
Not gonna lie darlin,' and I feel bad saying this but, all this time I honestly thought you were a middle aged woman. To know you are just a teen makes my heart explode with hope and optimism. Somehow, I fell in love with this channel just that much more. 😊 PS - I don't mean any insult when I say "just a teen." I mean it in the sense that you still have so much life ahead, so much opportunity.
This made my giggle and smile at the same time 😂 thank you for the lovely comment, your support really means a lot to me and makes me so excited for what the future may bring!!
My thoughts exactly! The voice is enchanting! It could be used as a hypnotic in some kind of psychotherapy!
To be fair I thought the exact thing about the lead singer of the band FUN until I saw a video of them live. I bet Natural World Facts would be a great singer.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought this, but I very much like the mellowness and even tone he has. It's wonderful
I always thought the same and now I'm in real awe that all that soothing voice is coming from a young man.
These narrations would make even David Attenborough proud to see the younger still interested in the natural world of biology. Great job.
Aw I really appreciate that Jacob, he’s a hero of mine, so thank you!
You’re voice is so soothing. The most relaxed I felt in a couple of days, thanks 🧘🏾
Aw I’m so glad you enjoyed!! ☺️
Never thought a video about rock pools could be so interesting and excellently narrated! Thank you for this video.
Thank you so much for watching!! ☺️
You have come a long way, it's hard to believe this is the same channel from the older videos, the evolution is extremely visible and the quality is astounding, it's only a matter of time until the youtube algorithm decides to bless your channel and suddenly, bam... 1 million subscribers.
Thank you so so much!! I never expected to come this far, and never dreamed I’d have such a supportive community. You’ve made my day :)
This is so professionally made but also felt home made at the same time. it has it's own charm in a way and i looove it so much!
You have a true talent, I admire your ability to narrate and educate. I'll continue watching your videos as long as they're posted.
Your voice is so soothing and comforting. I absolutely love all these videos, I've been almost obsessed with them since I found them!
That’s so lovely to hear!! Thank you so much
bless you, boy, for your calming voice and for all your informative content!! I was surprised to find out that you're still so young and yet so full of knowledge- and of course, your confidence to share it. Keep up the great work!!
Thank you so much!! This really means a lot 💛
Your descriptions brought me to the verge of tears-so isolated, the struggle to live-beautiful creatures.
Oh, rock pools.. 🤗 Such fun my sister and I had exploring them as kids. A truly well presented and informative video. Made my day.. thanks so much, Leo 👍
I can definitely relate, I have so many childhood memories of exploring rock pools. Filming this video felt incredibly nostalgic!! 😁
@@NaturalWorldFacts Well you certainly brought a touch of nostalgia to my heart, Leo. So professional too.. you will definitely be following in the great Sir David Attenborough's shoes and I for one cannot wait! 👍🤗
That’s really kind of you, thank you so much ☺️
Wow! This took me back forty years to summer holidays in Anstruther, Fife. Every summer holiday for eight years was spent in this beautiful town, and many hours were spent climbing around the rock pools between Anstruther and Cellardyke, bucket and net in hand, a crab line and bait for the deeper pools. It was a sensory overload - waves crashing in the distance, the pungent smell of the seaweed, the taste of salt hanging in the air, jagged rocks underfoot, slipping and sliding, looking for any purchase, as my younger brother and I clambered down to where we were told not to go. Rain was no deterrent - you were getting wet anyway, so the weather wasn't an issue. Wonderful video.
You’ve really captured the wonders of exploring rock pools with this comment! It’s an incredible place.
@@NaturalWorldFacts Thank you for the kind response. After watching your video I'm Googling the best rock pool beaches within an hour. I'm looking after my nephew for a day next week and you've given me the perfect idea for a day out - as long as we can time the tides.
No worries at all!! That sounds like a really wonderful idea, I have such fond childhood memories of exploring rock pools and getting excited at even the simplest of organisms! Let me know how it goes, I’m sure he’ll have a brilliant time. Just don’t forget a bucket haha 😂
We all love your voice! It's so perfect for narration
Thank you so much ☺️
This channel is so great, the quality of the work is so incredible. It reminds me of all the documentaries I loved to watch as a kid, but it also has a kind of intimate "do it yourself" touch that I adore
Really takes me back to the times my family took me foraging at the sea. Really appreciating how here how every orghanism is specializied in a certain way to survive and fill in a role or a niche for a working ecosystem. Also your narrations are beautiful, I didnt expect your voice to be that soothing in natura as well :D
Thank you for another great video! Now I see the young man behind the Golden voice! I appreciate all that you do, and look forward, as always, to more amazing videos. Best wishes to you!
Thank you so much Stacy! Best wishes to you too, I really appreciate the support ☺️
Excellent footage man, it’s incredible to see such a variety of abundant ecosystems in places very few would look twice at. Really puts into perspective how important the coast lines/tides are for the evolution of these creatures
Had this channel in my recommendations and so glad I clicked - great stuff indeed. Such a peaceful way of presenting.
I love the voice work, can't wait to hear more in the future!
I always liked these mini beach ecosystems , they are as interesting as the oceans.
You definitely the best narration for nature docs on KZhead, keep it up!!
Thank you for the videos I can’t fall asleep without them
I've only found this channel recently, but I'm genuinely beginning to become interested in some of the topics these videos discuss (particularly the deep sea!!). I really enjoy your content and they're of such good quality, I hope many more people will become as intrigued with your videos as I do!
Thanks so much for the lovely comment. I’m so glad you found my channel and are enjoying the vids! They’re a pleasure to create :)
My one year old loves your vids. We watch one every night :) he’s mesmerized by them!
Aww this just made my day!! I’m so glad he enjoys my videos - as a kid I was obsessed with wildlife documentaries, so knowing your son is mesmerised by mine is heartwarming!! Say a big hello from me :D
Expertly shot, edited, and narrated. I got a real sense for how these rock pools operate as a complex ecosystem.
Watching with my 5 yo grandson and he’s so impressed as he loves “all sea animals”, as so am I. Great job and please, continue doing this
You give off the same calming, yet ever-informative presence as Attenborough. Keep it up
It went from a face reveal for me to a toe reveal lol. Amazing vid! You show us just how truly beautiful this planet is!
Cheers haha 😂 Thanks for being so supportive!!
This has been my go-to nature channel since I lost access to NatGeo shows.
This is so beautiful. The best video on tide/rock pools on youtube. The other videos are all so loud and screamy. This makes me feel so at peace. Tbank you
Always learning something new from you, friend! Keep it up, hope you go far with this stuff!!
Absolutely mind calming. Like a natural meditation for me. Thank you
This video is so nostalgic for me. I spent my days as a kid trawling through rockpools with my family, finding crabs shrimps, nudibranchs, fish and winkles. When I wasn't doing that, I was usually watching some Brian Cox documentary, which your narration style really reminds me of. Really enjoyed that, thanks!
This is a fantastic video! I actually got a little emotional honestly, you do such a wonderful job showing our living world. Love your channel man, always looking forward to the content
Love this type of video with you talking in front of the camera. Also shout out to my New Jersey people!
I grew up in tidepools and could watch videos like this all day
Wish we could be friends :( i could listen to you talk for hours. I’ve learned so much from you. And Ella did such an amazing job with the filming!
Aw thank you so much, that’s really sweet of you!!! Keep in touch ☺️
I love your videos so much. Cheers mate!
Thank you 😁😁
Along with this video and many others from your channel, I've grown a rather large interest in the incredibly diverse life of marine animals, whether it's the shallows, abyssal plane, and now even rock pools. Never realized how great yet terrifying the ocean really is. And, side note, you look great in front of a camera. Keep it up and here's hoping your videos reach classrooms soon!
Thank you, this made my day!!
Thank you so much for all the knowledge, beautiful narration and just overall poetic style of video making.
Turns out you're a natural in front of the camera as well! The quality of your videos is just astonishing, thanks for the great content. You have truly found your calling:)
Thank you for all the amazing videos you do
Thanks so much for watching!!
As long as you upload I will be here ❤️ a
Aww thats really sweet! Thanks for being so supportive 💛
Ok, but I'm actually really enjoying your own footage! It gives me the vibes of a nature documentary on tv, while also feeling quite personal :D Keep up the good work!
Thanks so much!!! Thats really great to hear 😁
Great job! You did so well doing all the segments on site with your explanations and examples.
This is beyond impressive. I've been enjoying your vids for a while, but this is a different level. Hands on and brimming with passion. Don't ever stop, and I'll keep watching
Aw thanks James, I really appreciate that!! I’ll definitely be doing more like this!
Another daily dose of @NaturalWorldFacts😍 just made my day☺️
Aww thanks ☺️
i love this video, very well done. to me your videos feel david attenborough'y, so captivating!
Thank you 😁
oh wow, I am so glad I stumbled upon your channel. Thank you so much for your work and for sharing
I grew up on the Pacific coast, and my parents would drive down to the beaches all the time to let 5-year-old me freely explore the tide pools. I took for granted those little beaches for the longest time but now I'm so glad I could experience them as a child. There's something so wonderful about finding little crabs, limpets, hearing the calls of seagulls, wading in the frigid cold water (with rainboots of course, or your feet get cut up) and just seeing a part of nature different than your standard park or backyard. I think spending time on those beaches is what gave me the fascination I have with the ocean now.
Beautiful video! Really cool to see something a little different from your usual vids. Beautiful footage, beautiful voice and amazing commentary. Hope you get to narrate nature docs in the future. I still cannot believe you are as young as you are. I can't wait to see how you grow and progress as you get older seeing as how high caliber these videos are now.
Thank you - I’m incredibly excited at the thought of working on proper big budget documentaries someday. The natural world has astounded me since I was very young, so the dream is to someday work in the field of zoology or marine biology professionally. Thank you for being so supportive and helping me reach that dream right here on KZhead :)
your voice sounds like a woman on her 40ths. I love your voice its so calming
This video was brilliant! Your voice-over combined with live commentary and the rock pool tour with you was a very enjoyable experience thank you 🥰
I’m so glad!! Thanks for watching ☺️
I’ve been watching your videos as I wind down to sleep. Your voice is so calming! The level of research, passion and care in each video is truly brilliant. Thank you for the content.
Aw this made my day, thank you, you’re very sweet:)
@@NaturalWorldFacts Ah I'm so glad - and thank you! All the best - can't wait to see what you have coming.
Looking forward to seeing you narrate BBC documentaries in the future mate
That’d be a dream come true!
These videos are so well-made, relaxing, and informative at the same time. I did not realize you were so young, dude. Your channel deserves to skyrocket soon. Keep it up 👍🏼
Thanks Tyler, that really means a lot!!
It is exciting to explore a complex ecosystem in such a small pool. I enjoyed this as a kid. I'm sure my daughters will grow up having some inspiration and sweet memories watching your contents with their daddy. Keep up your great work.
This is the first of your videos I’ve come across and gotta say, very peaceful and interesting to watch!
What a wonderful video! And I have to say you're pretty brave, I think I wouldn't have been able to leave my feet in the water with the shrimps there nibbling away, haha! I'm far too ticklish and a bit unnerved by small creeping things! The footage was quite well done also - you put in a lot of effort here and it shows! Thank you for sharing your interest with us and for keeping up this channel, it can't be easy for you!
Thank you so much Sonja, I’m a sucker for creepy crawlies and little critters so it was an easy task, but I can understand why you’d be hesitant to dip your feet in these waters haha 😂 especially with so many large crabs lurking under the rocks!! Thanks so much for the support by the way - your comment made me smile :)
Love this channel, I just recently found it, keep going as you can ! I hope to see you in future in TV produced documentaries or something like that, you make an incredible job with these videos.
Thank you so much for the support!! That would be a dream come true, and I have my fingers crossed for the future
gosh. with the quality of videos you produce. i thought you were far older than this. you give me hope. never stop ♡
hey, i'm here a bit after watching your latest short about interacting with your local wildlife -- it's so cool to see physical interaction between you and the rock pools here. i live on the coast, but not spent much time by the ocean. little sand fleas and bugs are a bit intimidating, but it's calming to see the way you react to them, and to hear about the roles they serve in their ecosystem. i appreciate the neutral and appreciative tone you take throughout your videos -- it makes it easy to fall in love with these creatures.
What a wonderful comment, thank you for taking the time to write this. I’ve always felt a deep appreciation for wildlife, so it’s really lovely to hear you say that it shows in my films and helps you fall in love with these creatures too. You should absolutely take a little trek to the sea and see if you can bring yourself to interact with it a little more. I understand how these creatures can seem intimidating, but developing a ‘connection’ that allows you to see it all from the perspective of the role and beauty of these creatures can feel really special and alter your entire outlook on things. Let me know if you do go, and how it turns out ☺️
Good job! Im hyped for the “in context” narration ❤️
So glad you like this style!! Thanks for watching ☺️💛
Honestly, your work is just amazing. I hope that you can continue to follow your passion and for as long as you want
Thank you, that’s so lovely of you
This is what i want out of a documentary, I'm sick of overdramatic music and sound effects, just level headed presentation
This channel is a real gem for all who loves the H²O element and his great variety of fantastic fauna & flora also the narratives and the very smooth and patient vocals are in complete symbioses with the topic i enjoyed from every minute and from all videos You really have talent for this kind of work i can see you easily presenting a natural show about the fascinating oceans and their living creatures low bow and keep on course
Dat foot reveal! Lol just kidding around Anyway, I really like this format of video alongside the brilliant footage you use for other videos I’m looking forward to more and keep up the good work!
