Adding or subtracting a cat’s nipple is an incredible concept for evolution
Special thanks to Soledad Callo and David Young at Victoria High for the veliger footage that were mistakenly attributed to Dr. Page. Very sorry for the mix up! See the original footage here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAu7JJZhZIg&ab_channel=vichighmarine

Those nudibranchs are freaking beautiful.

Dr. Goddard and his son were very generous with their time and footage! Gave me some great notes so I didn't get my facts bungled!
What a crazy and amazing animal.

Dr. Seymour has captured some of the most remarkable footage of nematocysts firing I have ever seen. Ptowwww.
Bocas Del Toro Research Station
Don't how I missed the beauty of the writing for this one....be cause I know I was watching this one specifically at a certain point. 😂😂😂😂 Nature
Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute
Thank you to the Smithsonian and to Dr. Maria Pia Miglietta for the wonderful image of the unexploded nematocyst.
The narrator is awesome at his job 👏 😀
Dr. Louise Page :
University of Victoria
Dr. Page's footage of the veligers (Melibe) were a lifesaver. I wish I had more time to spend on their fantastic lifecycle.
Swimy swimy....😅
Dr. Leslie S Babonis

Bioscience
Dr.Babonis has the coolest job. Firing lasers to trigger nematocyst firing!

Our Cosmic Cousins of the GFW, have said the have been showing themselves all over the world, so we'll know they exist and we won't go into shock when they arrive for Open Contact 2027.
The purpose for 3I-Atlas was to seed humanity with something that will prolong our chances to advance to our next stage of development. In a message I received last week, they were showing their approval for Steven Spielberg's Disclosure Day. And at the end of the message was a link to a website about holographic technology. I asked them is this a warning about project Blue Beam. They said, yes.
David let me use his Shaun the Sheep slug footage, which is really some of the best footage I have seen of this cute slug.

“Hey bro are you pregnant yet?”
“Yep Stephany got me last week. Are you?”
“Nah. But I wanna be.”
“Hell yeah!”
Pinneng was kind enough to share his Pikachu footage... Quick attack! Electric Shock!
Elyse Messick captured nematocysts firing as a student and I tracked her down on linked in!
This is,hands down, my favorite Z Frank video to date.

If I had that kind of luggage, I’d pack it myself.
More User Perspectives
Your video could have been cool. Your word choices suck.
@tntmadness3138Nudibranch(s) are cool! ( especially the Purple & Orange ones).
@eringemini7091They resemble a plumbus that's alive.
@chuckmorris72186:45 Just wanna provide a helpful correction: the Man O' War is actually a siphonophore, it just happens to look like a jellyfish
@nolalookenbill7053Nudibranchs look like alien art projects, yet they’re real creatures thriving in our oceans. Every time I watch videos like this, nature feels far stranger and more creative than fiction.
@discoveranimalfactsus“Baybays”
@notoriousab4“This is the first yoga pose they teach you when you arrive in hell.” 🤣
@dalerimoller272Im planning to be a marine biologist in the future and this is a great way to learn
@Jellythejelloo3:01 Это первая поза йоги, которому вас учат, когда ты попадаешь в ад🤣 абсолютная истина
@FlyerPenseA landspeeder!
You've been to Tatooine.
Okay so Slugterra was based on these ninjas

@ghlife3488I've done some sport diving and seen multiple of those. never knew more than 'they are sea snails'. But know i know. The BUTT xD
@penttiperasuoli57803:50 Wonderful news!! as of 15 April, 2026, this nudibranch now has a name— *Thecacera pikachu*!!
@tin7496I've never seen one eating before, and it's genuinely kind of horrifying. Eating something whole by slurping like a noodle while it's alive is against some sort of convention
@icetide9411"And the circle of life continues" is possibly one of the most calming phrases
@vwdeathwishwv6498I hate these things
@Belegar_Ironhammer_0011:20 That looks exhausting.
