Zefrank really deserves more accolades, he’s Brilliant! He’s killed the notion that Science is boring, he’s absolutely hilarious and Hell Yes he deserves his own show. While we’re at it, Let’s give him an Academy Award, and how about he wins multiple millions on the Lottery, just for good measure? Yes? Great!! And No; Gerry gets zip.
lol, do you realize "IF" National Geographic and every Wild Animal Organization used you as a narrator; there would not be a single endangered animal on the Planet. Best Wild Life video I have ever seen!
He has a TV show, you're watching it right now. You can pay your good money in the form of a premium TheXvid subscription (which gives zefrank more money for your view) or you can pay your good money directly to zefrank in the form of a patreon subscription.
You really are adorable! If you haven’t looked at pictures of them, you should. So many of them look like they are smiling, particularly when their mouth is open a little bit. The eyes even squint a bit. So adorable!
I have only recently discovered zefrank1. Man you are brilliant and so funny, along with being educational. Thank you your videos brighten my isolation lockdown. Hi from Melbourne, Australia. 😊
“It is cute though, like the Yoda mod of Wolverine.” He cracks me up so much and that is such an accurate description of the silky anteater, based on the pictures
"Just remember, no matter how different you are, you can always just stop using your teeth and use your tongue. Nope, nah that's not right. You can always stick your tongue in a dirty hole, no that's......that's worse...." I'm dying =]]]
Watching this again, I just realized and had a laughing fit over how ridiculous the Spiny Echidna is. It's a triple M. A Myrmecophagous Marsupial Monotreme. And it's back feet are backwards. It even has a subspecies, which means that sometime long ago one of the species decided to eat ants in a slightly different way. So ridiculous, I can't stop laughing.
"The echidna's back feet are rotated in the opposite direction, and I've never seen that before!" Well we have now! I've come from the future to tell you that tardigrades (aka moss piglets) also have their back legs on backwards! I just want Echidna to have more friends..... no I'm not projecting
I'm pretty new to these videos! I'd love to hear more favorite suggestions! So far I probably love the giraffe one the most, but there are a couple other faves - I need to check.
Just love the voice and much more your humor. Especially when you joke and your laughter superseding mine. Simply outrageously funny with unending calming vibes. Yes thanks for the entertainment that's for sure.
I wish zefrank1 videos played between 3am and 4am on animal planet so drunk/tired people would question what they were watching. These videos are so amazing!!!
I loovvveee this channel and will never stop learning! So interesting!! Imagine all this unique creatures and their characteristics that we never knew about.
Pangolins are the most illegally trafficked animal in the world. This is a very prevalent issue but most people don’t even know of such a creature. They are hunted for the obvious appeal of collecting their scales to make trinkets and accessories or clothing items; but they are also considered a delicacy amongst parts of China and Vietnam and are a symbol of wealth to be consumed because of their valuable meat. The natural defense mechanism to curl in a ball may shield it from a slew of larger animals of prey, but leaves them helpless when humans come along just to scoop up the balled up innocent creature to poach.
I like to think he writes a script while drunk high and on all the drugs then goes cold turkey and reads the script and watches the video he made at the same time
Let's be real... that's how most creative people get through their work week. ZeFrank must surely have some more secrets for his talent. Like he spends a week method acting as each animal he narrates or something.
@DefinitelyNot CrazyRei Congrats for repeating the same exact thing that many people already wrote in this thread. It is so creative and original of you. How sad that not one person here wrote something to change it up even the slightest, for example: Chia seeds with legs.
I have loved pangolins from afar for some time now. They walk like those critters in Fifth Element. ZeFrank is kinda what would need to be included in a reboot of Monty Python, along with Eddie Izzard. Who else can we get to fill out the band? Lastly, what would a battle between any of these fantastic animals and a colony of army ants look like?
Fun fact: Sometimes echindnas like to collect gemstones but they don't do it as much anymore because others like to steal them. One time an echindna even had to get help from a hedgehog and a fox to get his back.
You ever think about how awesome the life forms on our planet are? Like imagine meeting someone from another planet and trying to explain this sweet armored anteater thing.
I always knew you'd spring back to your old self in an instant, and this is proof of that! The whole video just rings of that whole "I was just getting started" vibe, I love it so incredibly much. Long live Zefrankster!
I remember a Roald Dahl book where a kid had an anteater as a pet and the pet ate the kid’s aunt. Because the kid was American and pronounced “aunt” like “ant” instead of the British way of “änt”. Ever since I pronounce aunt the pretentious way just to be on the safe side.
Your narration of these videos just crack me up.....I look for them just so that I can listen to what you have to say about the particular animals. I just love it!
Dude, you're funny af! Pangolans are awesome! They remind me of Godzillas taking down termite mounds like they're highrise buildings. It's funny how they walk😹
Except when you watch the video about the animal (the fuck it I wanna be a dragon aka Pangolin) that played a role in COVID-19. The “wet markets” in China + Pangolins + Bats + human interaction/consumption = coronavirus
"You stole my blue lighter". Lmao that hit me in a way I never thought I'd feel again. Had to resort to lying about not having one..and lord forbid I forget my lie and pull one out at any moment there.
I love zefrank. absolutely GOLDEN, ponyboy. you make learning about animals fun and the unique way you describe things sticks in my grey matter and i truly hope that you keep doing this for a very long time. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼💖💖💖💖😎🧠
@Richard Smith I probably had Psoriasis too but on a minor scale on my hands, no pun intended. Check this from KenDBerryMD if you haven't seen it: thexvid.com/video/nj52yEUaFfA/video.html Ginger, Probiotic Foods of multiple kinds and Vitamin B1 are also recommended. Just saying since it worked for me and yes, it was red and scaly and dry and itchy but I'm not sure how bad I had it.
*It's not only likely...but entirely possible for some form of 'Fire Dragon' to have existed at some point*( *All that's needed is methane and an igniter...9-year-old boys have been doing it for least a half-million years..an adaptation like that is 'easy-peasy' for Nature to accomplish...the 'Electric Eel' exists, and that's far more complex than a 'fire-breather'* )
We are all grownups here, so it's OK not to bleep out the swear words. Also, I am entertained by these videos as much as learning more about Mom Nature. Thanks.
"Oh... hello *laughs* I have no idea what the rest of you is going to look like..... Oppe *laughing* there you are! Theres the rest of you!!" probably one of my favorite moments/lines from these videos. its just... so genuine ahaha
Nature asked the Echidna, "How does your underwear fit." The echidna responded, "Like a glove" LOL
@n At least you got 3. I only got two.
I can't keep up with 4 heads. I only got 3.
😂
😂😂😂😂😂
"The pangolin cannot form stomach acids on its own, so it uses the formic acid venom of the ants to aid in their digestion."
Pangolin: I used the ants to destroy the ants.
exactly.
Task failed successfully
When pangolin can't digest the ant
Ant : fine i'll do it myself
@Marcus Daloia Late, but most animals who naturally can't break down going in their mouths have stomachs to grind up food for them, such as birds.
Unfortunately the pangolin evolved to be the most poached animal on the planet.
I think "Pangolinman" would be a good villain for Marvels next Antman movie.

LMAOOOO 🤣
Uses his stinky assgland to drive off the other avengers that come to ant man's aid
The pangolin. A marvel versión of the penguin.
Zefrank really deserves more accolades, he’s Brilliant! He’s killed the notion that Science is boring, he’s absolutely hilarious and Hell Yes he deserves his own show. While we’re at it, Let’s give him an Academy Award, and how about he wins multiple millions on the Lottery, just for good measure? Yes? Great!! And No; Gerry gets zip.
I lost it when he said "Fuck this, I want to be a dragon"
I lost it about 19 times, but I will need to watch it again. Might be more to lose in this one.
@Slinkerdeer so cliché
I know its cliche to say this but for real i was scrolling the comments while watching and he said this right as i read the comment
I hope you're alright and you find it soon.
But really, it’s an artichoke whose long tongue is “bendy bendy.”
that pangolins scales are so beautiful, can't believe someone could eat such a magnificent creature
@UKmedicFRCS Agree to disagree.
I'm here from the future DON'T EAT THE DAMN PANGOLINS!
I wanna see you try and stop me.
(Which will not be hard because they look so cool i'd rather have one as a pet)
@blue knight HUGE ANIME BREASTS
@Pendlera That would be why I often use the Email Signature of - Communist China delenda est -
PREACH
“You stole my blue lighter’ brought back an avalanche of memories...
Alcoholic roommate flashbacks
six years and he's still using the same background music. that's dedication.
I would have never noticed if you never pointed that out, lol
Lol it adds sophistication
If it ain't Baroque, don't fi-... oh wait...
It reminds me Jenna Marbles who does the same.
The music go's amazingly with voice and sarcasm he is my favorite nature programs speeker
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it lol
lol, do you realize "IF" National Geographic and every Wild Animal Organization used you as a narrator; there would not be a single endangered animal on the Planet. Best Wild Life video I have ever seen!
Education is one side of the coin.
The other side is compassion.
Which, sadly, most people lack.
"I bet it eats termites one at a time like a little piece of corn-oh my gosh, what the hell is that?" Exactly my reaction
😂😂😅😅😅
My favorite line ever: "...looks like a walking index finger with a mullet"
That just kills me every time.
You died.. and came back to life?!... Multiple times?!!?
"You can always stick your tongue in a dirty hole. No, that's worse". I lost it😂🤣😂🤣😂
This guy deserves his own tv show. I’ll pay good money to watch that.
He has a TV show, you're watching it right now. You can pay your good money in the form of a premium TheXvid subscription (which gives zefrank more money for your view) or you can pay your good money directly to zefrank in the form of a patreon subscription.
I don’t know about “good money “ but if he had a tv show on cable I’d be more likely to keep my cable package instead of dropping it
Sounds good but then the next thing u know he’ll be telling us to vote in between commercials 😆
He has a “show” on TheXvid. Your currently watching it
Back him on Patreon. Actions speak louder!
"Here we see an excerpt from the indie movie Snuffleupagus goes to war" Is one of the funniest thing i have heard this guy say
@Uncle Creepy Same! Got confused for a second 😂
@Uncle Creepy thats funny
Edit: nice name bro
When he said “indie movie” I thought he was saying “Indy movie” as in the new Indiana Jones movie.
@extendoduck its just random
I lost it I just wasn't expecting that at all
My goodness I have never seen a silky anteater before and I think now that I have, I've fallen in love. They are so precious and tiny and adorable
You really are adorable! If you haven’t looked at pictures of them, you should. So many of them look like they are smiling, particularly when their mouth is open a little bit. The eyes even squint a bit. So adorable!
I have only recently discovered zefrank1. Man you are brilliant and so funny, along with being educational. Thank you your videos brighten my isolation lockdown. Hi from Melbourne, Australia. 😊
“It is cute though, like the Yoda mod of Wolverine.”
He cracks me up so much and that is such an accurate description of the silky anteater, based on the pictures
"Kiss a pangolin french style and it can tell you what you eat.. yesterday. Or whether you're smuggling cocaine.. iykwim" I HOLLERED
"Just remember, no matter how different you are, you can always just stop using your teeth and use your tongue. Nope, nah that's not right.
You can always stick your tongue in a dirty hole, no that's......that's worse...."
I'm dying =]]]
Today I learned
"myrmecophagous"
means having an ant based diet.
Today, I learned that I don't want to be myrmecophagous.
"There is no such thing as butt ant-eater." Oppih would like to disagree.
@Azraelle Marie hippos in reverse
@Ray Wharton I don't get it!😭😭😭
Y E T
Oh the snub nosed anteater!

Hippo backwards!
@Ray Wharton lol'd so hard
For some reason, saying "I have no idea what the rest of you is going to look like" about an Aardwolf is the cutest thing ever.
I want more aardwolf
I was surprised too, I've never seen that animal before. Or any of the other ant eaters/squirrel looking animals
Iv never seen this creature thanks
It’s existence I was not aware of
You're all lying; it's an Arcanine.
This guy is hilarious. Never stop being hilarious 😝
Watching this again, I just realized and had a laughing fit over how ridiculous the Spiny Echidna is. It's a triple M. A Myrmecophagous Marsupial Monotreme. And it's back feet are backwards. It even has a subspecies, which means that sometime long ago one of the species decided to eat ants in a slightly different way. So ridiculous, I can't stop laughing.
"The echidna's back feet are rotated in the opposite direction, and I've never seen that before!"
Well we have now!
I've come from the future to tell you that tardigrades (aka moss piglets) also have their back legs on backwards!
I just want Echidna to have more friends..... no I'm not projecting
"The giant ant eater resembles an index finger with a mullet" gotta be my all time favorite quote
I was watching the mantis shirmp so many times, good to have you back :)
Ah my other favorite so far is cat's killer senses. But they're all great so far. Definitely still want recommendations!
I'm pretty new to these videos! I'd love to hear more favorite suggestions! So far I probably love the giraffe one the most, but there are a couple other faves - I need to check.
Duck and Frog crack me up.
A friend of mine's mantis is in that vid lol. The mantis passed about 2 years ago though. My friend had him for a long time.
Very interesting.
I didn't know there were multiple ant eating species. And it was funny.
Thanks, I enjoyed this.😁
Just love the voice and much more your humor. Especially when you joke and your laughter superseding mine. Simply outrageously funny with unending calming vibes. Yes thanks for the entertainment that's for sure.
When an ant bites you: "These tic-tacs are spicy."
I saw this last year but it seems as funny and novel now as when I first watched it. You rock as narrator!!!
I wish zefrank1 videos played between 3am and 4am on animal planet so drunk/tired people would question what they were watching. These videos are so amazing!!!
Right
It would be more reviving than anything that IS on at that time... ;o)
My god, this and Drunk History back to back!
I need this to be a thing
Watching this while stoned is great as well😂😂😂😂
Hillarous! I just spit out my dinner from laughing about this narration. Frank, you are Genius! Thanks so much!
I love you zefrank1 for the laughs and entertainment. You brighten my day. Thank you!
This one went so far off into the weeds with an already completely crazy examination of evolution. One of the finest.
I loovvveee this channel and will never stop learning! So interesting!! Imagine all this unique creatures and their characteristics that we never knew about.

@Chanelle Lee this comment didnt age very well
Humans truly are the worst, most disgusting animals on the planet ;-;
@Chanelle Lee The world thinks of china in this manner.
You want to change our perspective?
Try harder.
@Chanelle Lee a small percentage of 1.5 billion...they are dead.
@G J Well, bloody cultivate them then, you know, like livestock. 😯
This guy is a genius! His videos always make me laugh until I cry. Amazing
Rediscovered your channel after ~5yrs, and binging it these days. You're a genius dude!
The ants almost took over the planet. Thank you, pangolins!
I like to think he writes a script while drunk high and on all the drugs then goes cold turkey and reads the script and watches the video he made at the same time
Let's be real... that's how most creative people get through their work week. ZeFrank must surely have some more secrets for his talent. Like he spends a week method acting as each animal he narrates or something.
I'm never calling them ants again. They are now and forever shall be the Tic Tacs of the dirt.
@Anti - Ethnic Cleansing What do I win if I cave to your demands?
@Anti - Ethnic Cleansing Lol, didn't realize there's a competition to rewrite Zefrank's script in our own words.
@DefinitelyNot CrazyRei
You are only failing yourself with how uncreative you are, not me.
@Anti - Ethnic Cleansing So sorry Sir, I will do my best to be more accommodating to your delicate sensibilities in future.
@DefinitelyNot CrazyRei

Just love your description of certain animals brilliant...very entertaining and informative
Fun fact: Sometimes echindnas like to collect gemstones but they don't do it as much anymore because others like to steal them. One time an echindna even had to get help from a hedgehog and a fox to get his back.
Addicted to this channel. It has the ability to break up serious conversations in chat groups 🤣
"but millions of years of adaptation didn't just prepared him for the 1980"
Gold, gold I say
That was amazing and funny! I laughed out loud. Thanks for that!
This guy is funny as hell. What a brilliant way to learn am definitely going to show these to my family. Luca

You need a show on Netflix. Your productions are absolutely hilarious.
I've never heard such a good description of an animal as your description of an echidna.
I love this narration. Absolutely spectacular.
Imagine him narrating a whole BBC documentary
I'll buy your whole stock
I would pay to watch that
Yes please that would be amazing 😂
I'd pay as much as needed for that.
BBC would get better ratings I bet. This is so 😂.
Your narration of these videos just crack me up.....I look for them just so that I can listen to what you have to say about the particular animals. I just love it!
I'm so glad I discovered your videos browsing youtube. They are subversively hilarious.
Why the hell did people give this a thumbs down? Love these documentaries! So educational!! 🤓
"Seems redundant"
Omg how can this make me laugh so hard
Sorry I meant texting
I still can't believe that you have returned to youtube, it's a miracle!
@Justin Y. It's so weird to see that you *replied* to somebody.
@Duv3 what the fuck am I in the twilight zone
Justin Y. Me too and I’m a year late
Dude, you're funny af! Pangolans are awesome! They remind me of Godzillas taking down termite mounds like they're highrise buildings. It's funny how they walk😹
Love echidnas! Never knew their hind feet were on backwards though 🧐 Will have to take a closer look next time I see one
These fun facts videos are some of the funniest 😆😆things on TheXvid and amazing too!! Keep em coming Frank please!!
These videos have been a valuable tool for social distancing. Just saying, I forget all about covid listening to ZeFrank!
Except when you watch the video about the animal (the fuck it I wanna be a dragon aka Pangolin) that played a role in COVID-19.
The “wet markets” in China + Pangolins + Bats + human interaction/consumption = coronavirus
“But I’ll be huge and fearsome
right?“
“Oh yeah definitely...to an ant”
Hurt
YO ViViO what about being a whole ass virus called the coronavirus
@fsffda Attention! Millenials, amirite?
Any 5'2 person
@Arlo Cordell Whats the point of just commenting the funniest quote in the video word for word
This one made me laugh harder than usual.
2020: Revenge of the pangolins......
So true
Nah, chinese ate them
BANE KITTY aaaaaamd there’s the Coronavirus comments 😡
Does it piss you off that people are still calling it bat flu? It does to me...
I am dying🤣🤣🤣Why have I not seen these vids before. Absolute gold!
You have to watch the stinkhorn mushroom, marsupials, the giraffe, and the lemur...are some of my favs.
"You stole my blue lighter". Lmao that hit me in a way I never thought I'd feel again. Had to resort to lying about not having one..and lord forbid I forget my lie and pull one out at any moment there.
My zoology teacher pulled this up and walked out the class to go to the bathroom, he thought it was a different video
@Joel Alexander constipated is a bad word 🙄
Gotta love these happy accidents xD
Different video, or getting plausable deniability...?
I wish I had a teacher who thought us lessons like him
Great video, that pangolin in the sink at the end warmed my heart.
I love zefrank. absolutely GOLDEN, ponyboy. you make learning about animals fun and the unique way you describe things sticks in my grey matter and i truly hope that you keep doing this for a very long time. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼💖💖💖💖😎🧠
I never knew the Aardwolf was a thing and he looks absolutely amazing
4:20 wow... so the ants digest themselves with their own acid. That is brutal, man.
420
that's pretty weed hour
Fucking metal
Lol “you stole my blue lighter” 😂😂 ive had that argument so many times drunk
"The giant-antearter resembles a walking index finger with a mullet and leg warmers" what a description for these creatures.
Love these videos! I prefer, magnificently designed, but Ok I get it, for nature video you have to say "Evolved"
This whole thing was just perfect, Top to Bottom! My spleen is going to need reconstructive surgery after this!
*F--- all this, I wanna be a dragon.*
Why didn't anyone tell me this was an option?
@Richard Smith I probably had Psoriasis too but on a minor scale on my hands, no pun intended. Check this from KenDBerryMD if you haven't seen it: thexvid.com/video/nj52yEUaFfA/video.html
Ginger, Probiotic Foods of multiple kinds and Vitamin B1 are also recommended. Just saying since it worked for me and yes, it was red and scaly and dry and itchy but I'm not sure how bad I had it.
I once said fuck all this.......
I'm still single and alone

I don't know why TheXvid recommended this to me, but this video is the funniest thing I've seen all year. Fantastic 😁
This is fantastic. I just subscribed, and I’m picky, so I hope this channel has a lot more videos!
just an absolute joy to watch that lil guy rollin around in the water getting to control it with his tail
"...walking index finger with a mullet." I've got to stop laughing so I can watch the rest of the video!
Man I'm glad you are back, thank for the hilarious videos!!!
Just what I was going to say
What the Outlaw said!!!
May 2022 and this one is still one of your best written vids.
I was born without a tongue tie, so my tongue is insanely long. I can identify with these creatures.
This got me right away @ "poppy seeds with legs"!!!
I just couldn't stop laughing.
Your videos are a breath of fresh air, although I can no longer breath due to laughter.
We are all grownups here, so it's OK not to bleep out the swear words. Also, I am entertained by these videos as much as learning more about Mom Nature. Thanks.

We need to hear from you more often, Zfrank!!
The fact you didn't comment on the pangolin's "ball form" oddly annoys me a lot
Honestly,,, this is the best way to learn facts and actually listen and then remember
I love your videos, they make me laugh out loud! 😂🤣❤
I've never laughed so much at a video in my life. Bravo
Someone needs this guy to narrate an hour long documentary
"Oh... hello *laughs* I have no idea what the rest of you is going to look like..... Oppe *laughing* there you are! Theres the rest of you!!"
probably one of my favorite moments/lines from these videos. its just... so genuine ahaha
380th like
