I searched for "animal phyla" and got an entire series describing ALL the phyla, even the most obscure ones. This is gold, I'm so grateful that you're makiing these!

[@skyline6500]

I'm really enjoying this series of going through all the phyla

[@MisterItchy]

I just noticed how few likes, views, and comments you get on these videos. I, for one, appreciate you doing them.

[@jamiegallier2106]

Excellent presentation, many thanks!

[@ritajalahiri8449]

Love the video, exact. I doubted that the tentacles of entoprocta are said to be solid and that of bryozoa are hollow. Could you circle back to it? I may be wrong, but your answer will be greatly appreciated.

I love this guy!

I will take this knowledge with me to the grave. Don't worry, the secret is safe with me.

The next video is on animals, that may look like, but are NOT bivalves.

thank you, this is my favorite series

[@glennpearson9348]

Question, Professor Dave. At 4:20 you mention this species releases sperm into the water column and captures sperm from other worms. Can they actually capture and use their own sperm for reproduction, or is there some mechanism they use to distinguish their own sperm from the sperm of other worms? Thanks for another enlightening installment in this series. I'm enjoying it very much and learning a lot.
