Sponges (Porifera) of the deep sea play a vital role in supporting communities of life. With over 8,500 sponge species known to science, and colonising vast areas of the sea floor from the shallow intertidal zone to the continental slope and the abyssal plain of the deep, their success is extraordinary and their importance unparalleled. They are ecosystem engineers. By building reefs and cycling nutrients, they form the foundation of many communities, and have been doing so for over 600 million years. This is the wonderful world of sponges.

I really prefer the longer videos. In the middle of the night I sometimes use your soothing voice and cadence to slow my brain down so I can get back to sleep. I came to the channel to find one of the longer videos and it turns out you posted a 15 minute one 15 minutes ago. Jackpot! I find nature videos are the best way to get me to focus on something that isn't about what I have to do at work tomorrow etc. I absolutely love nature and I absolutely love your videos. You also do background music better than anyone. It doesn't have dramatic volume changes and it's loud and noticeable without drowning out the narration.
Well said, Jason! đđ
đž I second that request, I am very interested in longer vids. Itâs both relaxing & it stimulates my creative side. After the video I soon find myself relaxed & focused enough to gain a solution to my problem lol. Itâs similar to the effects of meditation
I agree..
I also recommend a channel called SEA. He makes videos about space and the universe amongst other things and has a great voice to listen to with peaceful sounding background music. Another good one for easing down at night.
Thank you Jason! This kind of feedback blows me away, it really does. I never expected my videos to have this much of an impact!!
Same
I still love that you can make a whole documentary about anything and everything interesting about the ocean. itâs truly inspiring. I can smell the water in these videos đ
Thatâs so lovely of you!! Thank you, this made my day, I love making these and comments like yours make it all worthwhile :)
Did u know that ur the only channel on youtube iâve ever seen that is 100% got it down from music vibes to aesthetics to narration to editing ur videos are put together rly well and theyve rly helped awaken my love for the ocean
Also u should rly consider using myuuâs music for your background music, alot of his songs may be too dark but im sure alot will fit perfectly
I mean this channel is good in that regard but have you encountered "rare earth"? imo the best narration on this site.
Thank you, I really appreciate that!! Finding the music is my favourite part of editing, and Iâll definitely check out myuu and see if I can get permissions :)
Yes, here we go.. time to sit back and relax for a while with another wonderful upload from Leo đđ€
Aww I really hope you enjoyed âșïž
I canât stress enough how amazing your videos are. Even after a long day of work, or whatever else Iâm dealing with in the mess of life, your uploads always put me in a good mood. The music and narration is just so soothing, while I simultaneously get to learn so much about the intricacies of the deep sea. Thank you!
Thatâs so wonderful of you! Honestly this means the world to me
Glass sponges are, in my opinion, some of the most unexpectedly beautiful creatures in the ocean. Their relationship with small crustaceans is absolutely fascinating to me.
Thank you for making the little marine biologist inside me very happy. I love learning as much as I could about the ocean, and you make it so absorb-able.
Love the comment, and the sponge pun đđ Iâm so glad you enjoy my videos! Are you studying marine bio at the moment?
You forgot to mention the sponge who lives in a pineapple under the sea. Anyway, great video as always. Yours is a great channel to watch just before I go to bed since your videos are usually uploaded near midnight here.
Thank you!! Iâm sorry for leaving out the best sponge of all đ
@@NaturalWorldFacts It's all good man haha. I understand the omission as it may upset your more academically inclined viewers.
Mr krab : "lets go ma boy"
Spongebob probably still watching some dancing anemone at home.
@@liopleurodon28 every colleage student used to be a kid, they used to watch spongebob everyday in their tv, they might even get interested and ended up applying to zoology and marine biology because of that.
sponges really blur the line between animal, fungus, and plant. it's so fascinating to see how these basic mechanisms of nutrient acquisition first started to develop and diverge!
I wonder, has lichen-sponge symbiosis ever been observed? would a triple symbiont be theoretically possible?
There's so much to be told about sponges, but you got the basics and the main differences from shallow and deep sea sponges. Amazing production! you have no idea how much inspiring it was after reading hundreds of papers just on this topic as part of my research, lol.
I'm a biologist and honestly, your videos are better than 80% of the classes I attended. I didn't understood how can a teacher make a subject so wonderful be boring. But now I understand that what you do in your vĂdeos is not a easy job. It takes dedication to do something so beautiful, peaceful, engaging and interesting. The best teachers I've had are the ones that tell a story, It didn't matter if it was about cells or sharks, we wanted to know more. Your scrip tell a full story and always make me want to learn more and more. Thank you.
You make everything sound so interesting, and in both an amazing and entertaining way. I don't have any words to truly match how good it is. Please keep up the work. It's lovely.
Been an absolute pleasure seeing this channel grow. I even put on my notifications
Aw thatâs incredibly sweet of you, thank you so much!
Pretty sure going to sleep watching your videos is the reason I woke up absolutely obsessed with fish one morning. Now I have a 13 gallon tank and itâs like 90% your fault.
Fantastic as always, love the longer videos.
I take full responsibility, and Iâm proud of it đ
Honestly though thatâs really sweet! This made my day
Another magnificent video! I love seeing all the amazing species of the deep ocean and learning how they interact and support their various ecosystems. You always find the most spectacular footage of these beautiful creatures, then combine it with your wonderful narration and perfect music. Thank you!
Wow, never knew there were deep variants too.
I had no idea that sponges can be so highly fascinating. Nice work of the documentary!
Everyone says it and it can't be said enough.
Your videos are amazing. Beautiful videos, beautiful music, educational and your narration makes it so relaxing. I can really calm down and happily watch these videos or just close my eyes and listen.
Big big props to this channel.
Thank you so much, it always surprises me to get feedback like this. These videos began as just a hobby, so hearing that they mean this much to people is just so wonderful! Thank you for making my day
You have no idea how happy it makes me to read this!!
Much love đ
I have watched a lot of your videos 2 months ago and now I found ur channel again, Im so happy! This time I didnt forget to subscribe. I really like your videos, they are very interesting and the video recordings u show are insane. Even tho I am not english I mostly understand because u donât talk to slow or too fast. Words I donât know I search up. Youâre Work is Great from the beginning to the end. I hope u will continue what u are doing, because If u donât we would have lost a big talent! Hope u are feeling well and sorry for my bad english :)
Thank you, this comment really has made my day :) Iâm so glad you found me and that youâre enjoying my films. Theyâre a pleasure to create! Also your English seems phenomenal!!!
Thank you for accurate videos, in a soothing voice. I can learn and rest at the same time. Love it!
With all the turmoil in the world at this time your video is a soothing interlude. Thanks for all your wonderful videos and soothing voice.
Some facts about Calcarea, my group of study in graduation:
They are the only poriferans with all the types of the aquiferus systems and it's more than just 3, nowdays we have 5 (asconoid, syconoid, sylleibid, leuconoid and solenoid) (Cavalcanti & Klautau 2011);
Although they are considered shallow water (0 m - 100 m) animals, they are also considered understimated animals, meaning they could possibly live some meters below the 100 milestone, we just haven't made efforts to find them;
Calcarea, as the name sugests, is made of calcite (in the form of calcium carbonate), it's different from other animals that use calcium carbonate from the mineral aragonite. There's some studies trying to understand the implications of a warmer and more acidic ocean in the formation of the calcium spicules;
Wahey, fascinating stuff!! Thank you for sharing!
I am happy to know Iâm not the only one who falls asleep to documentaries
I love falling asleep to these. I can listen enough to get the information, then your calm voice & music puts me right into relaxation mode. Lol. Love these longer vids :)
some of the best videos on youtube hands down
Love watching and listening after long 12 hour nurse shifts. So relaxing and takes my mind off of work. Thank you!!!
I think that you should edit together some of your videos to make 1h + documentaries of them. I only discovered your channel last night but its the perfect thing to fall asleep to even when I've already seen the video. Your narration voice is incredibly soothing and relaxing, if i could put on an hours worth of your content i would probably fall asleep to it every night, but i don't wanna leave the auto play feature on because the algorithm is going to eventually put me onto something with shouting and wake me up scared
It's 3:30 and I still can't sleep so I'm coming to your calming voice for relaxation
I love that the crabs make themselves little hats!
Wow almost up to half a million subs!! That was fast. With this growth you'll be up over a million in no time.
Thank you đ still pinching myself⊠couldnât have got here without you, you were here from way before I blew up!! Thank you for always supporting me đđ
dude iâm in love with your voice đđ
you narrate so beautifully
thank you for the super cool videos đâš
I casually stumbled across this channel a few months ago, and have found myself continually coming back for more. This is really fantastic content. Thank you for bringing this amazing world to light in such a thoughtful way!
Wow! Super impressed! Compared to some of your first videos this is above and beyond!
Keep up the great work!! You are the ONLY deep sea channel I subscribe to!
I found your channel recently, and I'm so happy I did. I used to make CZcams videos as well, and know how much work goes into it- even just sourcing clips, putting them together, and adding sound and voiceover. Your videos, the more recent ones I've been watching covering deep-sea life, are professional. If I saw them on television, I would not question it. Amazing job, I am learning so much and entranced by the subject matter
Well done as always. Top shelf stuff... your narration is Attenborough-level epic... relaxing to be sure. Great production of great content.
Spectacular, another masterpiece. Thank you Leo for the entertainment & the education.
this channel is so well made and extremely interesting. keep it up with the amazing work! thank you for this content
Channels like this are why I'm going into marine biology †I just love learning about the ocean and the many amazing creatures in it!!
Absolutely excellent, as always. Thank you Leo
I absolutely love your videos. Your videos are so informative and relaxing.
I had no idea there were carnivorous sponges!! Life always finds a way! Thatâs so cool! The glass sponge looks so mesmerizing! Sponges are super important to the ecosystem so letâs do what we can to keep them happy and healthy.
Thanks for the awesome video!
PS: You should think about doing a meditation or story book video with how calming and soothing your voice is. Of course you donât have to, just a suggestion. :)
keep up the good work, Leo!
Your videos deserve awards. They are beautifully filmed. You have written clear, concise scripts and your voice is just wonderful to listen to. Iâm hooked on your channel!
Sponges feel like a weird combination of alien creepiness and ethereal beauty
Yes! A new video! Your mini documentaries are awesome and i really like your calm, relaxing voice. Also credits for not mention Spongebob Squarepants once ;-)
Top class video as always mate!
â€â€â€â€â€
I really like the shorter videos because if they get to be too long I don't watch them at all
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up as a support
So interesting and fascinating. Great summary thank you Leo
Mystery, knowledge and ASMR. My new fav channel.
Thank you so so much!
i love your channel mate, i showed some of your videos to my class in university everyone loved it! including my professor!
Great video man!
Ey up Leo đ€ once again another stunning video, it's funny but I always seem to get them late at night when I can't sleep, and they always help me relax đ€
IÂŽm not sure why but your calming voice, the beautiful footage, how beautifully narrated and informative this was, the soothing music made me cry a little. I recently discovered your channel and IÂŽve been delighted at the ones IÂŽve seen! Thank you for creating these videos, theyÂŽre like precious gems
The level of production and quality of information is outstanding!
Your videos have gotten really good man. Keep it up, love it!!
As usual you have created a mesmerizing and informative video about something I never thought much about. I knew sponges were incredibly ancient and that as they filter feed they provide food and shelter for other organisms, but had no idea of their variety and chemosynthetic abilities. Thank you for a most enjoyable 15 minutes; I learned a lot and was soothed by your wonderful voice.
Hey I used to watch your videos a lot but somehow after being busy for a while I found your channel again:)
I like these documentaries thoguh. Your new videos are SO good. They're so informative and the graphics are so beautiful. Did u shoot the videos yourself?
Anyways can't wait for more.
shoutout to that one sponge crab just barely covering its butt with its sponge
Every video of yours is a masterpiece. Please don't quit producing them
This voice is so soothing and calming!! An absolute pleasure to listen to!!đđ
Such a beautiful, reverent portrait of an overlooked animal.
These videos have taught me more than my actual zoology classes
Edit: Literally just answered a test question on sponge morphology for me, thank you
No way thatâs amazing!! What was the specific question?
you know your content is amazing when you make sponges sound so interesting (which they are!)
This video is one of my favorites! I love the focus on one specific phylum. Wow, the harp sponge is so eerie and beautiful! Thank you for your work! BTW, I agree with Dashney below--I look forward to hearing your voice on a nature special soon, like on Hulu or Netflix. Your voice is perfect for nature docs!
These documentaries are so mind blowingly professional!! I genuinely thought it was from a tv series!! So good, and has such a mystical ambience. I wish there were hour long videos to binge!!
your video really inspired me to learn more about the sea! Thank you very much!
This is my absolute favorite show right now. Also, youâre the next David Attenborough.
Fascinating and beautiful in every respect....thank you so much đ
I just found this channel and I love your videos!
You are excellent! I'm blessed I found you. âïž
YES!! YES! NEW VIDEO! I adore these videos. I often rewatch them many times because I find it so interesting.
Love your vids. Theyâre calming me down and helping me relax while I take care of my recently diabetic dog.
Bob must have some crazy family reunions!
Love to hear about mbari. Honestly the best research being done rn
7:09 a wild Parasect appeared!

Great jobđđ»
I know that this channel is more focused on natural phenomena, but it would be so cool to see a few videos about the research institutions that provide these images and how they get them. Woods Hole and all of the scientists there are so cool and under-appreciated outside of academia. Anyway, awesome video!!! It made me late to a show because it was so interesting.
I used to be afraid of real sea sponges, specifically of touching them, before I knew what their anatomy was like. Then you got to the segment about the carnivorous sponge.
Thank you for reestablishing an old fear.
Watching your videos while eating cookies is my hobby. I LOVE your channel.
Your videos gives brief info on each phyllum.... That's y I keep watching.. And thank you... âŻïžđđđŠđŠdeep sea, đ
Another top notch quality content nice âșïžđ
I love this wholesome videos grouped around some phylum or class of animals. Keep pumping this videos. There is whole ocean of interesting species in seas đ
Just posting a comment to show appreciation for your work, just excellent in every way!
omg yesss yesss i waited for thisssss. thank you once again.
Sponge crab is my new favorite mutualist. What an oddly cute duo!
Biodiversity, survive, sea floor, food chain, ecosystem. These are the words we hear in every video. Ty for an amazing work!
Sponges grow in the ocean. That just kills me. I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be if that didn't happen.

Always love your videos
Oh that's where my sponge đ§œ went! I knew I dropped it but I didn't realize it fell to the bottom of the ocean..? It would have been funny if you snuck in a SpongeBob jump scare randomly in the calm video. Lol
Another topnotch video, Leo. Thank you!
Taking biology in 10th grade and then again in college I always remember sponges as the first multicellular animal they teach about. When I was younger the animal kingdom was the most interesting to me. So I feel like Iâm doing another open world video game play through except itâs biology and the sponge is the starting area.
Once again, with a soothing voice, I find your videos so calming and relaxing. đšđŠđș
your videos are always the best
New age David Attenborough! Keep up the great work m8
I love your videos and this one is no exception
You are truly meant to be the voice of all things ocean. I click on any given playlist, hit the repeat and gradually fall asleep. It is my recipe for a completely blissful sleep! Thank you!
Amazing video about amazing animalsâ€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž
Your videos are amazing. Your voice is perfect. Best wildlife documentaries in the world. So informative. Even the averts were quite good đ
Thank you so much đđ
How is your channel not bigger? Your content is fantastic. Keep up the great workđ
i never thought about sea sponges. theyre so cool!!!!
Thank you for making the transition âtypingâ sound a little less harsh.
