    And if you haven’t had enough ocean creature facts for one day, head over to listen to our new podcast episode “Deciphering the Mind of the Octopus” on Nebula. It will take you behind the scenes on what it’s like to take care of these mischievous animals. This is probably my favorite episode yet!

    That footage of the finless shark plummeting to the sea floor was appalling. I'm incredibly glad you showed it, but it's appalling. I'm not outright against the killing of animals, but the combination of outright cruelty and waste is just mind bending. I struggle with how humans can so easily disconnect from certain realities (I struggle with how I see it in myself as well). A fisherman would know that these sharks would still be alive when they're thrown back in, if they just stopped to even think about what they're doing. If they're hellbent on wasting the rest of the shark, just slit the damn thing's throat before you throw it back, you sick fuck

And for what? Fucking OIL to fuel fucking LAMPS. Thank god oil (petroleum) extraction and processing came right along, to fill the gap until eletric powered public and home lighting became a thing.
      Humans are capable of any atrocities given the right circunstances - against anyone, and everyone. And I’m pretty sure we committed most of them. And it doesn’t have to be much: it is not hard to imagine a fisherman ou whaler performing their job disconnected from the morality of it, just as a meat packing plant worker, for that most needed paycheck.

    Very interesting and insightful, I dreamed of sharing underwater video with the masses back in the late 70’s while living/diving in Hawaii. I followed a different path but feel I missed out on a amazing career and opportunity to share the underwater world with the world, you created an awesome TH-cam channel.

    The predator/prey eye placement thing is actually tenuous at best. Eye placement is more of a cost/benefit thing. In the ocean, threats can come at you from any direction, so having binocular vision is less bebeficial than seeing as much as possible.
