The Crayfish that Outlived the Dinosaurs!

[@DoomGrower]

This was AMAZING!!! A lot of creators out there are happy with making content that is 10 minutes long, and having people feel like 5 minutes has passed. This is the exact opposite in a great way, I feel like this was 10+ minutes crammed into 5! Keep up the GREAT work!!!

[@chia_pet7121]

This video made me sad. It was like watching your favorite program, then the screen cuts to black stating those terrible words "To Be Continued"...knowing I have to wait all summer to find out if Captain Crayfish made it from the boat before it exploded. 🦐🦞🦐 : (

[@nickmclainsaquaticswildlif237]

Crayfish will always be my favorite creature on this planet. Discovered them in 3rd grade at a state park by my farm thinking they were lobsters at first. Ended up finding millions of them scattered across my farm that blue ones weren’t as rare to me. Nature turned a small pond we have into a crayfish only pond after the winter froze off the fish. They are resilient!

[@garrett8128]

That last roll must have been the finest crayfish cinematography I've ever seen. Loving these informative mini-doc videos!

[@muddymaker3721]

Production quality is off the charts my friend👍 Well filmed and narrated, bravo🎬👏

[@extraaccount5830]

Amazing. Beautiful crayfish. Wish I could have it in my aquarium.

[@NiX_aKi]

Majestic for such small creatures 💗💗 Beautiful presentation, mate 🍺🍺

[@soucouyant]

Love this video. Your narration, pacing, editing. Really good. I'm sure it's wwwaaayyy harder than your usual videos, but its really good. Keep doing what you do. God bless.

[@anthonyjunker7486]

I love the recent increase in your videography quality! I also love the ecology and educational angle that you are promoting instead of unchecked sensationalism. Please keep on making these types of mini documentaries in between your usual type of fishroom/LFS content!

[@its_elser]

Great video. I could imagine you as "Australia's David Attenborough". Fascinating creatures.

[@MrSkateroli]

You should submit this to some kind of wildlife documentary award…It’s extremely well made! Nice work!

[@alexnarconis]

FANTASTIC educational content! Great work man! Love the variety!

[@timclark3269]

This is your best video for sure. Really beautiful, no filler, felt longer than 5 minutes. Bravo mate. Great work.

[@HunterAxolotls]

INSANE! the quality of this was easily as good as BBC. you should be very proud of it

[@SergioYanez1973]

Great quality film! Thank you for sharing what you are learning in the aquatic hobby and the ecology of your home country

[@Simply4Aquatics]

Absolutely loving your new style of videos like this. You really have come along way from the days sat in your mums kitchen Area. This Quality of videos are better then 99% of the programs on mainstream TV!! Let’s face it the 1% is David Attenborough and he’s an absolute legend! 😁 great work.

[@Jefada]

You keeep reaching new heights in professionalism and quality. Great job. Beautiful crayfish.

[@JenniferDoRego]

That area is so fantastic! I really appreciate you sharing your country with all of us. ❤

[@CarolynnMc01]

I truly loved this little documentary! Bravo! Great information and such beautiful little creatures. Thank you

[@renekips7627]

Our new Attenborough, again a fantastic documentary.

[@KeepingFishSimple]

Glad you enjoyed it!!

[@IndoorEcosystem]

As a local to this area this was an amazing little documentary on an amazing species! Brilliant!

[@leafystreet]

real good stuff man

[@bogreen4805]

I love the all the different types of content you’ve been putting out lately. They’re all so interesting and I’m always learning new things from them.

[@jueadeo8843]

How fascinating! I loved how you unravelled the mystery behind these crayfish finding their way into such an unexpected habitat. Kudos to you for creating such an informative and entertaining documentary. It's evident that you poured a lot of effort and passion into this project, and it truly paid off. Keep up the fantastic work, and I'm eagerly looking forward to your next video!

[@griffinballfish]

david Attenborough from down under. These videos are getting better and better.

[@jesseraine2782]

Love hearing the history of our native wildlife, great video thank you

[@squamsh122]

This channel is awesome. Been binging your old breeding videos and these adventure docs are fantastic. Nice work

[@australianbiotopes4563]

Great video Nick! you did a great job with this one considering most of the time it was raining for us and we didn't get to spend as much time as we wanted to.

[@IndoorEcosystem]

Mt Lewis is always a random collection of weather! It's one of the most amazing places in the entire region. Sadly climate change is causing a lot of issues up there especially with the white lemuroid possum (Hemibelideus lemuroides). Even those cool wet places at the tops of mountains are starting to get hotter and drier 😐

[@Thomas.Saunders]

Another great short documentary. The photography is every bit as beautiful as we've come to expect, and plays homage to the spectacular landscapes of Australia. Thanks for another one!

[@tommygunna1226]

Phenomenal, sensational, extraordinary! 😮

[@Brian_Kwan]

Awesome video. Evolution and nature is such a spectacular phenomenon we have in Australia!

[@justarandomcarno]

Very Cool! It's also nice to see very good footage of all these places, wish we had more! XD

[@calebcologna8681]

I really appreciate this. Like, the dramatized modern nature doc style with big music and foley isn’t really my favorite but I LOVE that you’re making this kind of content in the fish-tuber space. Beautifully done!

[@lakeshiamills1454]

It's a very short but very cool documentary. I would love to see a long form going into depth or detail about the differences between the different species and how they're specifically evolved for their particular environment

[@laurabustos6560]

Your documentary style stuff is so, so awesome!!!!! I adore all your content, but this recent change/ addition of doc style content is truly beautiful!! 🙏💙✌️ Edit; these crayfish are too flipping cute!! 😍

[@clundie]

These crayfish are so beautiful

[@peterloo3136]

Thank you for the video. Well done!

[@GoldCoastHinterlandWildlife]

Mate I live in the Gold Coast hinterland not too far from Lamington Natinonal park, I was so glad to see you include it in this! Spiny Lamington crayfish are easily one of my favourite animals i've seen... and i've seen alot!

[@_Brin_]

Euastacus are my favourite! Thank you for putting a spotlight on this incredibly unique genus, I love them

[@reconnaissance7372]

Such an interesting video. You really made crayfish interesting hehe. Absolutely fascinating diversity throughout the species and seeing how Crayfish have evolved from a common relative and have changed over time in their local ecosystems.

[@huntermclaren322]

absolutely fabulous reporting and editing. excellent work!!

[@EmpressOfExile206]

That opening shot of the crayfish on the rock with his hands up praying to rain gods.. I had a literal eyegasm‼️💯

[@peterg1978]

I have been watching your aquarium videos for a while. I just stumbled on this documentary. You have real talent and skill. I hope you take it further

[@LushSaltyAquariums]

Fascinating and beautifully done!

[@spencer4997]

That's the most beautiful crayfish i've ever seen! Great shots!

[@01cruzer]

Stunning images you’ve captured Nick and a great video, you really have excelled in your production quality and content keep it up mate :)

[@SupermanBB]

We need more content like this!! Well done

[@rippinlips8680]

I love it! Another amazing documentary. Thanks

[@Paulg4660]

Excellent thank you!!😊

[@monicataylor7871]

This is such a lovely mini doco, top job

[@HaydenHag]

The lamington spiny crayfish is incredible too, they spend way more time out of the water than others I find. They also share their habitat with riffle shrimp!

[@audrameyer9558]

Beautiful footage!!!!

[@michaela-be4le]

Very inspiring how committed you are to developing the farm Dex 😉

[@dustinking4004]

Combining shots between your work and these other creators is making some fantastic videos. Great job on a subject I had never thought of before. Keep it up!

[@sitivenitalei2160]

Awesome vid! Love all your work!

[@GenXHeart]

Brilliant! My only complaint is that I wanted more! I was really into it then... aww, it's over?

[@plowestory]

Outstanding mate - well done

[@simonemms15a]

Omg that was fantastic what an insight thank you😊

[@mealomemes6647]

very well done, great video 👍

[@racksofish]

I am absolutely obsesseddd with your channel and how well these videos are! The quality is insane and these clips look absolutely incredible. It saddens me that these new style/better quality videos are not getting as many views as your other stuff but people will catch on! It’s new and the algorithm needs time to adjust, but i think you should do mini documentaries and still do homestyle videos as well. Either way, cheers and keep it up!!!

[@BugsandBiology]

Wow, that’s a hell of a lot better than the couple minutes of terrible footage I got last time I tried to film one.

[@drandy.youtubechannel1436]

Very nice presentation 👍

[@irfanzaim3875]

this channel start from fish breeding channel to nature discovery channel, love both kind of content either way

[@sunlounger29]

OK, nice trailer! Now I want to see the full scale documentary on the Discovery Channel or Netflix or whatever! Kudos!

[@HarlanFord]

Absolutely love it!

[@BoatRocker619]

beautiful video

[@Brandon-jw5cv]

Really cool video, mang... Keep it up!

[@scottydee1555]

I once went for a bush walk in Springbrook National Park and almost stood on a Lamington Crayfish on the track. He was quite a while away from any water source. Ended up seeing over a dozen during that walk

[@bigwillythewonka8523]

This was so cool. You deserve way more views.

[@st3v338]

very good loved that

[@aqualicioushobby]

Great video on another native💛

[@AdrianBean]

I'm loving this documentary style of video mate, your videos have inspired me greatly and I currently have three fish tanks. With more coming?

[@darrylmoore5847]

Amazing video as always.

[@UnsteadyEnby]

Really well done

[@naegwut]

Great footage

[@roughbets888]

fascinating !!

[@yoyoyo9669]

this is so cool!

[@haroldmclarty7317]

Very nice video I thought I was watching the Discovery Channel.

[@ChaoHuang]

Keep it up! Good content!

[@Matt-du9ez]

Geographical isolation could be another factor leading to speciation

[@simonbrereton8643]

Very well done 👌😁

[@Sinserg]

Very interesting!

[@artquatics3865]

KEEP.IT.UP 👏

[@nielsverhaar6005]

What a great video nick

[@tanksfornothin]

Every time I finish watching a video you've done with Jason I sigh to myself in pure jealousy of Australia's wildlife diversity.

[@haywardgarner4850]

Well done.

[@ricksoldierofgod8042]

MORE! please.

[@JJLewin1]

Loving your work

[@n0rmal635]

Bro started to praise the sun out of nowhere.

[@snells-window]

Excellent work Nick and Jason. Some of that footage is stunning, I think I can even hear the crayfish hissing in one piece. That 5 minutes passed like it was only one! Thanks for the acknowledgement of my footage in the description, but could you fix the link which isn't working. cheers

[@KeepingFishSimple]

Thank you!! Your footage helped tremendously for visuals. Hopefully we meet one day. Fixed the link for you

[@MR_Fiss12]

This is cool

[@rablindsay6726]

I actually go to Springfield national Park often which has the pamington crayfish too. Me and brother actually caught one abt 30cm long, it took us a while and we took photos before putting it back in its little stream, turns out when we got home we found out there arr two types of lamington crayfish, spiny and not spiny. The big one we caught was probably abt 20 -40 years old because it was so big and it was the non spiny I think. I didn't know there were others types of mountain crayfish too through, unfortunately you cant bring them home because they protected

[@RobHollanderMusic]

So that's why the crayfish are whistling from the mountaintops!

[@coolhandluke1503]

Documentarian: The crab is gods ultimate evolution Spiny Cray: Oh yeah, check this out

[@lincolnwalpole5273]

Would be awesome if you got more into the crayfish species in your set up

[@juliacabai8378]

dam that was good

[@playgroundfarms]

Great job . I wish other young KZbinrs learn something from you . There's lot of young KZbinrs abuse animals just to make KZbin videos.

[@MrRussianGerman]

Cool video. Relaxing!!!!!

[@AIANISSIGMA]

I love cray fish

[@craigquinn8225]

cool 😎
