Tales of Kaimere has been a YouTube rabbithole I’ve loved exploring since I discovered it a few months ago. Probably one of the most in-depth worldbuilding projects on the platform, and especially great for those who enjoy a little speculative evolution. The creator is also a fantastic artist.
Not to give away too much, but the main premise of the series is how different populations of humans survive on a distant planet where portals have transplanted Earth life for millions of years, resulting in creatures from all over the span of time interacting and evolving together. Definitely worth a watch - just make sure you have a few hours free if you get sucked in like I have!

New video of interest came across my feed; she actually calls out the importance of iNat pretty early in it.

the algo has been suggesting some videos from a Marine Biology student who specializes in deep sea life. i’ve only watched a few so far, but they have been surprisingly good. here’s one that i’m watching now and am enjoying (about the communities that emerge around deep-sea food falls): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLGOtKHy06o.
I like watching AVNJ’s adventures. He goes to different spots and dipnets for small fish there https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-_MiU1CL54&list=PLU9b5aFAbOLFqigj4SKHw1Vlrc1D8LlJH&ab_channel=AVNJ
I just watched his video on the pileated woodpecker. Wow. Really well done!
Thanks for the link!

FishLocker was a godsend for when i was getting ready to go rockpooling in Cornwall, I learnt a crazy amount from his content. One of his more interesting videos was one where he found various marine life with a blacklight including a glowing topknot and some almost psychedelic Ericaria seaweed.

Yeah, part of my attraction to his videos likely also comes from the fact that for various reason I seldom visit marine and coastal ecosystems. It’s like I can explore such places through the computer screen.
