There are a lot of nature channels but this one is unique because the creator really seems to love the deep sea animals and says at one point that they're "beautiful" --- which they are. Many videos on them try to portray them in a sensational way as frightening. They are not. They're beautiful and fascinating, as this channel says. https://www.youtube.com/c/NaturalWorldFacts Additionally, the creator goes into the science quite well.

Don’t be fooled by this beautiful creature’s name. Sea slugs come in an incredible variety of colors and patterns, and some of them are very ingenious little thieves. Certain sea slugs eat algae, steal the chloroplasts and store them inside their own cells. The chloroplasts continue using sunlight to produce nutrients, practically turning the sea slug into a solar-powered animal! Others eat stinging animals such as anemones and hydroids without setting off their stingers. Then they store those stolen stinging cells in their own bodies and use them for protection. Being called a slug does not prevent you from being beautiful, brilliant and a master of kleptoplasty. ❤️ Watch these fascinating beauties in action here.

You really surprised me on this one! I thought the drummer would win, but maybe that’s because I know who the musician is. But the stargazer you voted for is still an amazing critter to meet. Introducing Scarabaeus satyrus, an African dung beetle. Seriously. I’m not BS’ing you. These expert poop scoopers spend their lives scouting out poop. The fan-like plates at the ends of their antennae, called lamellae, are covered with tiny receptors that help them sniff out a fresh pile. When they locate one, they’re on it. Literally.. They break off a piece, shape it into a ball and climb on top. Then they spin around in a little dance to get their bearings. On moonless nights, they use the glow of the Milky Way to stay on a straight path while practically doing a handstand and rolling their ball backward with their hind legs. We’re talking some major gymnastics here. But why do they want to play with poop, you wonder? Because it’s both a meal and a family matter. Adult dung beetles drink the nutritious liquid found in dung. Yes, poop juice. 🤢 Some balls are buried and used as tiny underground nurseries called brood balls. A female lays one egg inside, and the dung feeds the baby as they grow. They will also go a couple of rounds with another dung beetle trying to steal their future baby ball. Dung beetles bury enormous amounts of manure, returning nutrients to the soil, helping plants grow and leaving fewer piles behind for pest flies to breed in. Let’s give a big round of applause for this crazy little beetle and appreciate the sh!t out of what they do for the earth we share with them. ❤️

First, I will say that I think the Animal Kingdom -- and, in fact, all of life on Earth, whether animal, plant, or Fungus - is beautiful. Animals are innocent. They go to Heaven, according to Isaiah 11:6-7. If they ar not in Heaven, I don't want to go there. Yet we humans create a Hell on Earth for them, which is deeply wrong. Years ago I read the books by seminal eco-theologian Thomas Berry on the spirituality of reverence for nature and moving from an anthropocentric to an ecocentric worldview. But well before that, I loved dogs and loved nature when on canoe trips. I have four dogs now and also recently started fostering dogs. I get only rescue dogs (as Bob Barker on The Price Is Right used to say, "spay and neuter your pet"). As I write this, my beagle Rosie is waiting patiently to jump on my lap for a hug ... Okay, the hug is done ... I love the nature videos by Habitat Forge (how to create closed ecosystems in jars) and Nature World Facts (deep-sea creatures). Here is where ethics fits into it. Science and reason shaped my views on this to some extent. Homo sapiens are a type of animal, which is a biological fact. This fact has ethical implications. It means we share existence on this planet with other animals who are more like us than we often tend to acknowledge. So I am for humane alternatives to industrial animal agriculture, which is unbelievably cruel and environmentally destructive as well. I wrote a science paper on the latter topic a few years ago that was published by Science for Peace (though I can't find the link now as their archives go back to just 2020). Animals caught in this vast factory farm machine definitely feel pain; they have individual personalities (pigs are said to be more intelligent than dogs), and some animals (all mammals certainly) have the same capacities for emotion that we have. Many animal species dream, meaning that they have REM. Some make moral decisions and exhibit altruism. This has been demonstrated by animal behavioural scientists. See the books by biology professor Marc Bekoff on this.
