The Brushtail Possums Is The OG Pikachu | Strange Creatures of Phillip Island

[@FKyoutubeSERIOUSLY]

I'm loving the fact that you guys can afford to make these monstrously long videos and still maintain the quality of your shorter ones. Many thanks, and much love.

[@JonnyHatesJuice]

Less than an hour... is monstrously long? I guess the attention span of our society really IS dwindling 😂

[@Shmethan]

​@@JonnyHatesJuicehaha I think they just mean within the context of KZbin, which inherently is short form video content so an hour is relatively long. No need to patronize

[@FKyoutubeSERIOUSLY]

@@JonnyHatesJuice As our friend above said, I meant in the context of youtube as well as Animalogic's usual video length.

[@JonnyHatesJuice]

@@FKyoutubeSERIOUSLY I like turtles. 🐢

Another amazing documentary, and of one of my favorite places. On a continent full of weird and wonderful creatures, it's the most isolated parts that are the most fascinating.

[@watershipup7101]

Very true.

[@corvid...]

Danielle is such a great host, and has a great voice for narration... Just SO much talent all around.

[@bobf5360]

OMG she's the best. And had anyone else described "bin chickens", I'd have sided with the Aussies on the issue. But when Danielle describes them, I'm firmly on team Bin Chicken.

I’m so glad your talking about brushtail possums. One of my personal favorite marsupials, they are so cute!

[@_maxgray]

I'm not sure why we're getting a super sized video, but I'm very excited for it!

[@T.C.-st8uz]

Danielle, you are THE nature show host of our household. Our two girls love you and we think you're pretty great too. Keep it up, team! ❤

[@js66613]

This feels like a full on documentary film, which is definitely a nice change up to have once in a while. Paints the bigger picture of a whole area, rather than just one species too. And I'm loving the gorgeous fur seals, bandicoots and penguins.

[@akirsyakir]

Please give us more of these strange creatures from any other island! I would absolutely love to tune in!

[@FloozieOne]

What an incredible episode. All wonderful animals that most of us will never see and don't know much about and can only see and understand through your amazing videos and commentary.

[@salaltschul3604]

We also have ringtail possums here. They're small enough to sit in our birdfeeder! The brushtails that run across my roof sound like they have hooves. They are very cute, though, and lovely to see the babies on mum's back. I love seeing those seals. LOOK AT THEIR LITTLE EARS!

[@Candesce]

Fyi, for anyone who doesn't live in Australia, Philip island is not some kind of remote and exotic area, it's pretty close to Melbourne, Australia's largest capital city

[@peterquinn7878]

I hate to say it, but actually bloody Sydney is our biggest city. That’s fine with us on the Gold Coast.

[@michaelmagnani3463]

It also has a motoGP race track

[@Candesce]

​@@peterquinn7878 Melbourne pipped Sydney in April.

[@peterquinn7878]

@@Candesce I had no idea it was so close! Hopefully folks with taste are moving out of Sydney, down to Melbourne. I wouldn’t blame’em. 😼

[@ando1123]

@@peterquinn7878no thank you. I happy for Melbourne to have less traffic

[@leia3618]

I LOVED this!! Thank you so much for bringing Phillip Island to my attention! This video and the conservation efforts on the island remind me that there are people willing to help; it gives me cautious hope for the future

[@XavierAway]

3:20 serves them right for just throwing the loose bags outside... having loose rubbish bags on the roadside just invites pests to rip it and spill it's contents everywhere.

[@przec13r28]

Danielle you are one lucky girl. Going places like this one, exploring and meeting all these animals, while genuinely loving it and (I think) fulfilling your passion? Plus getting paid for it...not only that but also doing some great content. I really like the fact that you get so hype and emotional too. Love you and thank you.

[@plantjunkie69]

Love these longer format videos

[@coucoubrandy1079]

Wow ! Thanks a million for this wonderful video ! It's very heartwarming in the sense that when we humans do the right things to save animals instead of destroying them, we can ! Now if only I could win at the lottery, I'd fly down under right away !

[@bazooka544]

been rehabilitating brushtails for a long time!! such unique animals, i'm glad to see 'em get their due here! ❤

that sea lion clip at 7.58 looked like there was a white shark predation. Nice shot!

[@yourgodismean4526]

I love these little blue penguins so much! Ty Australia, for doing the right thing

[@BrandSimmang-wt1jv]

If it was ethical to own wildlife blue penguins would be number 1 on my list. I had to pause the video to google blue penguins… HOW am i just learning about them now.

[@yourgodismean4526]

@@BrandSimmang-wt1jv I love that they’re also called fairy penguins

[@jimmux_v0]

We have to work hard to look after them now. Colonies used to be much more common, but they're easy prey for dogs and foxes.

[@BrandSimmang-wt1jv]

@@yourgodismean4526 omg no!!! No way! Well that raises the unbeatable cute factor by 10. I really thought no animal could replace wombats as my favourite but these guys did and now have cemented the lead with fairy penguin as a nickname. Also good to know I didn’t just blow my chance to see my favourite animal when I was there but now to know that i missed both of my top 2 ugh the paaaaain! Do the blue penguins happen to be in your tops for favourite

We need an Australia Pokemon region with a brushtail possum as its regional Pikaclone. Also, poison-type Psyduck variant and a legendary based on Tiddalik the Great Frog

Platypus

You might want to consult Lockstin & Noggin about a new region. The Kaskade region has impressively expansive lore. It even has its own plushies.

Seeing what a real echidna looks like makes me wonder if there is any relation to hedgehogs.

[@andressalazarwildlife]

No, their last common ancestor lived 100 million years ago. Hedgehogs are more closely related to blue whales (and all other placental animals) than to echidna. It's just an amazing case of convergent evolution!

[@heidiheinila5096]

Absolutely fantastic video! I love your content. :)

[@CMZneu]

15:30 This is actually very cool but could be explained better, just like a boat traveling on water fish leave a wake trail behind them, the vortices in the water can remain quite a long time effectively forming a trail leading right to the fish who made them, on contact whiskers can detect this trail fast and precise enough for the seal to practically follow it at a fast enough speed to catch up to the fish, they can even do this blindfolded, since some water has very low visibility so it makes sense how they are still able to catch fish despite not being able to see very well.

[@NWforager]

wow , long way from the Americas ! for a sec i was like "wait... there's kangaroos in Canadia ?"

[@idraote]

The problem I see in replicating the conservation effort is that not all areas that need it are islands. Eradicating invasive species, in particular, is bound to be difficult as Australians know all too well.

[@johnholowach]

The possum shows up at 36:36, you're welcome.

[@PeterPaoliello]

Quality content starts at 0:00. You're welcome.

[@wither5673]

i mean there is a VERY easy way to deal with birds getting into trash, be better at waste management in general, recycle more, don't waste food. that way you can actually close the lid on the trash bin or dumpster.

I hadn't heard of Bin Chickens before watching Bluey

[@martinellis38]

I live near a white Ibis nesting ground in the southeastern suburbs of Melbourne. I've never seen them outside the wetlands nor seen raid bins (that is the population here). I have them do that in Sydney. I think the problem is where Sydney built itself and how they treat their garbage.

Didn't the Tasmanian devil's on Marguerite? Island eat a lot of little penguins?! I'd like to know if those penguins are rebounding or not

[@danielmalinen6337]

In an interview, Pikachu's creator Atsuko Nishida said that she based Pikachu on a Japanese squirrel and a stuffed rice mochi called daifuku. According to Nishida, her concept for Pikachu was originally a white rice ball with black button eyes and green leaves for bunny-like ears, but Nishida got a better idea for Pikachu while feeding squirrels in the park and thus Pikachu got its cheek pouches, tail and other rodent features. But despite that, this is an interesting documentary about Australian animals and wildlife.

[@mrmj2397]

Duck. Billed. Platypus. I really hope they're in this one! My favourite!!

[@keithwagg4112]

Hey Welcome to Victoria!!! You should go to Tasmania and to Bruny Island (close to Hobart)--there are albino wallabies (Bennetts Wallaby) there that are super cute! Lord Howe Island off NSW--though it is a flight away out in the ocean--is also worth a visit to see great conservation work :)
