I initially started this channel because I came across a lot of topics from books, articles or even videos from other languages that didn’t always have a good video in English. It felt like such a shame that some of these things weren’t seen more broadly and I wanted to share great content with the world.
I studied psychology and have a love for nature so this channel primarily focuses on animal behaviour. I enjoy reading books and research papers and try to make them easily accessible for everyone.
The channel is focused on:
- Creating quality, well researched videos about animals and animal behaviour.
- Answering “why” things happen.
- Exciting research.
- Breaking down research papers and studies (which can be quite dry! But have great content) and sharing it with you.
- Maybe topics on human behaviour in the far future if there is interest for that too. But focus will be on animal behaviour for now.

This video has been one I've wanted to make for a very long time.
For my whole life I kept hearing the same claim repeated everywhere. "We've only explored 5% of the ocean."
A few months ago I decided to stop taking that number at face value and really dig into where it came from.
And what I found.... was not only surprising but made me really question why this hasn't been talked about more.
This video took months of research, digging through papers all the way going back to the 1990s and trudging through decades of built up misinformation and AI slop. But the hardest part was finding a way to tell this story properly and in the way it deserves.
So if you've ever wondered how much of our oceans we've really explored and where that 5% statistic really came from, I hope you find this as interesting as I did.
*And for those of you who may be curious. Between every single paper NOAA published from now to 2001, the paper you see in the video is the earliest that figure comes up.

Hey, if you’re new here, welcome.
I make research-driven videos about interesting and unique animal behaviour, especially questions that don’t usually get good explanations.
I’m currently working on a video about cephalopods and I’m really excited for you to all see it soon.
Thanks for being here.
