5:18 I like the detail of a more generic looking snapping turtle occupying the same niche its ancestors did. Aside from providing a contrast to its larger relatives, it also shows that they still occupy the niche of small ambush predators even after 6 million years.
Like how you have stuff like whale sharks and sting rays, while the basic shark build is still roaming around. Sharks are older than Saturn's rings btw
It's only been five months since your first video on Kappa, but the quality has improved massively! Things are fully animated, colors are vibrant, the Genera from the first episode are beautifully realized (Especially Raphael and the Moordrums), and everything is just generally great! Be proud man, for you have created actual art here.
@@AAAAkaishicÌIÍ636 Honestly, I can see this becoming the next Alien Biospheres, if given a year or so to cook in the oven. I mean goodness, the quality of this series with only two episodes to its name is astounding.
It's only been two videos so far and this project already has the potential to go toe to toe with the greatest works of spec evo like Serina, Alien Biospheres, and The Antarctic Chronicles
Much better format than just talking about creatures. This way they feel truly alive and we can see them live. Feels less like narration of an encyclopaedia and more like a nature documentary. Good job.
@@KappatheWorldofTurtles-tm6zb maybe in future you will do speculative evolution of Earth complex life on land will continue to exist for next 500 million years ( due to increasing solar radiation land may be too hot after that ), for 800 million years ( when CO2 concentration will become to low for C4 photosynthesis ) and complex life in oceans will continue to exist for next 1,1 billion years ( increasing solar radiation will cause oceans to boil ) or maybe complex life both on land ( it will certainly die out before complex life in water ) and on water will continue to live even for next 2 billion years ( loss of atmosphere nitrogen and decreasing of atmospheric pressure may fight increasing solar radiation and extinction of plants with C3 photosynthesis may stop CO2 loss ). Simple life may exist for next 3 - 4 billion years ( after this time Earth will be as hot as venus is now ). So it would be very cool trying to predict how evolution will go through all that time and how biosphere will look at its the most advanced state ( shortly before overheating or CO2 loss will cause irreversible degradation of the biosphere ).
@@KappatheWorldofTurtles-tm6zbI loved this! It made me feel like a kid watching Dino documentaries again! Thank you so much 😊 I can’t wait to see more.
@@KappatheWorldofTurtles-tm6zb I think the combination of these two would work really well, after all that is how most real world educational content does it.
@@KappatheWorldofTurtles-tm6zbReally loving both of these. The documentary style is something I think doesn’t get very much coverage in spec evo, but this brought me back to watching the Walking With Dinosaurs series. Genuinely great work.
I'm so stoked to see Kappa return! Raphael's confrontation was spectacular in its realism. I can't wait to see where the story will go next! I wonder if this Pantanal/Everglades like habitat will host goant herbivores or colonial triops? What wonders will await?
The idea of hurricanes being less of disasters and more like blessings by clearing out toxic algal blooms is such a novel concept. You’ve created a beautiful world here.
The art style is actually insane. Way better than the generic 3d models that are so common in the spec evo community. And the style of the video was cool too. Giving general info on the planet then focusing on one creature. 11/10
Incredible work. I love how researched your world is, down to the anatomy of Raphael’s skull. This is one of the most unique and interesting channels I’ve seen!
Holy cow this is freaking amazing!! The music is incredible, your narration is smooth and clean, and the art is utterly amazing (plus the fact you managed to ANIMATE it?! So cool!). Keep at it man, and don't feel rushed, this was absolutely worth the wait!
I'm absolutely obsessed with the art direction in this series. There's just something so beautiful about the hulking butterflies flying against the cloudy blue-grey sky. Much love, so excited to see where the series goes! 🐢🦋❤
Finally a new upload, I have rewatched your first video so many times before sleep that on some nights I literally dream of turtles swimming in marshy ponds
Incredible, I like how you're structuring this world, the first episode as a little introduction, and now it continues as a nature documentary, plus I love the design of the turtles.
The music, artstyle AND animation are all goddamn insane. I can't believe that one of my favorite animals are having a spec evo project as abitious as this. Truly well deserved
Wonderful work! The art, the animation, and the creativity... I think this is already the best spec-evo series here! I can't believe you made all of this by yourself and most importantly without crowdfunding (the level of quality is that impressive)!
Oof fair, that’s a variable I missed! I just know that the Florida Everglades are in a limestone basin so didn’t think about it too much more, there’s a lot variables to keep track of! But maybe the terraformers brought it over?
@crazycatboysolomon7006 the simplest way would be evaporation. If a body of water saturated with calcium carbonate evaporated, the calcium carbonate would remain. Repeat this, and eventually, you would end up with layers of Limestone. This is similar to how large salt deposits form like the huge one under the Gulf of Mecico. There are other ways that involve chemical processes, but they're pretty complicated, and I don't really understand them.
the art for this series is absolutely and genuinely beautiful and breathtaking. the wait was definitely worth the amount of time and effort put into this video.
This is just a sublime idea; you can't be this creative! Probably the most invested I've been on a project on TH-cam, the shear amount of work and knowledge. I'm looking forward to following this journey thank you
Happy that this came on my feed, love the style and quality its so pretty i can tell alot of work went onto this. Worth the waiting and hoping for more 🎉
HOLY SMOKES EVERYTHINGS SO PRETTY/COOL :0. Also very cool biosphere, the world continues to expand >:3. And the musics great too. All in all this is structured so well im genuinly so impressed. I obviously subbed cause i knew id enjoy your channel but this has far exeeded my expectations in the best ways possible.
@@KappatheWorldofTurtles-tm6zb I genuinly hope this blows up. I first got into speculative biospheres from biblaridon and after that not many have peaked my interest, and some that do...well they didn't go on for very long. This has sparked the same joy I felt when I first found out there was content out there like it. So please keep doin what your doing. Take your time and take care of yourself. Goodluck and I look forward to more from this, and you :D.
THis is really artsy and I love it! The Moordrums have really cool designs and it was nice getting a glimpse of the lepidopterans! I wonder if next episode will get a further look of the lepidopterans, mainly the neotenic caterpillars cuz those ones were always my favorite!
The technical quality anr artistry in your videos are insane. Take however long you need to release your video, but please don't stop! This us top quality content!
To quote the legendary Indrick Boreale: *“LONG HAVE I WAITED”* And man, it was so worth it. Such a beautiful piece of work, so many cool details, and it’s all grounded. I fuckin’ love this and hope it ends up being a breakthrough hit which enters the mainstream like All Tomorrows was a few years back. It deserves it.
I love that we'll be taking our time to experience each era, i love quick spec evo projects as well, but they often skip the opportunity to show more of the life in each era to jump into the wilder future times. I loved the documentary-like take of this episode, and i can't wait to see more of Kappa trough the eyes of Raph.
“In these dark, murky waters, evolution has gone into overdrive” slapped me in the face with Walking with Monsters nostalgia - your entire video feels like it belongs to the Walking With Series.

Subscribed to the channel when first video dropped, was having a shitty day, this notification just cheered up my day bro
Really glad you liked it and it made your day better :)
I really like this format. Also the fact theres so many butterflies every time anything moves it looks amazing by default as they fly away.
