run by Gianluca Polgar, who was kind enough to point out two mistakes i made in this video:
- At min 1.43-1.49: that is a blenny of the genus Andamia, not a mudskipper.
- Not all mudskippers have fused pelvic fins that are used as suckers
Aside from calling a dolphin a fish - which i actually find kind of funny in context :)

I used to have a mudskipper about 20 years ago. I still miss that little guy. He was one of the most engaging little pets I ever had. Imagine being able to take your fish for a walk. He would also eat from my hand. Now, if only they could breed in captivity. Until that happens, I won't have another. Please don't deplete the wild population. At the time I had mine, I did not know that. That being said, my fish was the most engaging little pet fish I ever had. They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I have to say though, sometimes it's in the hand.
if school was like this id be excited to wake up everyday
"imagine the things you could climb if you had sticky nipples"
"like testicles on a freezing pool, it's eyeballs can retract..."
you've helped me laugh through some hard times. thank you.
Never heard anyone say "gravity can be a bit of a bitch" so elegantly.
Can someone please hire him for a nature documentary?
"Most fish if you take them out of the water, they'd be a downer. And by downer, I mean dead."
The "shouting match" portion of this video is what makes it so very entertaining.
“It likes to be ‘moist’, like that drip of sweat rolling down the smol of your back into your butt crack because you decided to wear jeans on that hike sort of ‘moist’.”
My son recently introduced me to this channel, and I love how it makes me laugh at the most unexpected times! This guy is an amazing storyteller; subscribing!
I am a nature enthusiast raised by a teacher who was fond of monty python and puns. This shit is my JAM! LOVE IT!!
“imagine what you could do if you had sticky nipples”
I am 60. I forward these things to our 38-year-daughter, to show to our five-year-old granddaughter.
"remember, just because you don't have the big boney muscly fins doesn't mean you can't do incredible things, with what you're given, that is how the mudskipper do"
Mudskippers look like a frogs that never finished its metamorphosis.
I recall watching True Facts videos 7 years ago, it was mostly for comedic amusement. As a zoology major, I have to say the video these days are a lot more educational, good enough to be in university lectures. Good job my man!
The dead fish that Jerry showed wasn't even a fish, it was a porpoise. The tail is horizontal compared to vertical.
I almost busted out laughing in a room full of people when the shouting match commenced. Glorious.
The message at the end about being able to do incredible things with what you were given is very touching ❤️
