The amount of effort that goes into these productions is incredible, thank you animal logic.

What a thoughtful comment.. You must work in this field...

That disappointing feeling when you're waiting to be eaten and at the end of the night you have to slink back to the colony

[@DownhillAllTheWay]

"Don't trust a meal that looks like it wants to be eaten!" I'll have to give up hamburgers!

[@Ang3lUki]

Fun fact: the symptoms of deadly nightshade poisoning very closely resemble the symptoms of benadryl challenge victims, as they both are anticholinergics.

[@MasterSkippy117]

What's that mean? Legit asking

[@bushybeardedbear]

I know they could and likely would wreck me if I tired, but I think Shoebills are cute and just want to ruffle their feathers. Happy Spooky Season! Great video!

[@dumbsterdives]

funny enough, shoebills are actually pretty commonly known to be completely chill around humans, and will even let people approach their nests without getting freaked out. You still shouldnt touch a wild animal of course, but you probably could

[@DanGamingFan2406]

A perfect compilation to celebrate Halloween. Your videos always have such hi quality and production value. Thank you.

[@animalogic]

Thank you! Happy Halloween, stay spooky! 👻

[@DenizenoftheAges]

And you do these drawings, Danielle? Just incredible.

[@Levi_Skardsen]

Horrific eldritch maw; fabulous iridescence ~ _Just bobbit worm things™_

[@ArthropodJay]

there should be a subtype of animallogic dedicating how mythological creatures could work in real life, and the origins. Call it "Mythologic"

[@MinatheRaichu]

You mean like the dragons documentary discovery did?

[@rafaelg7772]

Amazing work everyone! Thank you for the dedication and hard work to bring us great contect! I can listen to danielle's lecture all day. Great channel. ❤🎉

Thank you for tuning in!!

Thanks for your kind comment!!

[@Noqtis]

How are ghost sharks scary? They are super cute with those huge eyes, the nose and the flappy wings.

[@pandap4ntz]

They really are cute! They're also the favorite animal of renowned paleo-artist (and dad joke extraordinaire), Ray Troll. You should check his work out, if you're not already familiar. Animalogic has actually used his art before in at least one of their vids, but they did not credit him.

[@QUIRK1019]

Yay for seeing Jess Keating again! This is a great Halloween Special. Dylan is an exquisite video producer

[@footfault1941]

More like a pair of wing than pectoral fins. 400 million years .. jeez! He can tell us nearly an entire history of fish! Yes, he'd do it monstrously!

[@billymorgan4611]

Wait, how do we know the effects of the chimaera venom? Who was the first to find out, at -200m?

[@Sparklyishere]

A recommendation for next halloween, maybe do like a ghost creature compilation ? like clear or white-ish animals ? just a suggestion and love ur vids

[@atimidbirb]

I am a little less afraid of the bobbit worms now, when seeing them just vibing in an aquarium. It is just another critter looking for food uwu

[@AlexAnom420]

worms with teeth are terrifying... I remember being a kid in experiencing my first bloodworms during a fishing trip. once I saw that mouth come out with those 4 copper claw-like teeth, I was like what HP Lovecraft writes is real...😂.

[@JohnDrummondPhoto]

The origin of the name "Bobbitt worm" is most definitely NOT a myth, as John Wayne Bobbitt can sadly attest. Before June 23, 1993, it was more commonly known as a sand-striker worm. EDIT: I really, REALLY hope Andres didn't die from belladonna poisoning! That would be so sad!!

[@animalogic]

Andres is ALIVE and well. Fun fact, he was the producer on this very video!

[@JohnDrummondPhoto]

@@animalogic whew!! 😄👍🏿

[@jamesharrell4360]

​@@JohnDrummondPhotoRight! Was preparing to see a tribute at the end, and if not; start combing the description and comments for an answer.

[@SofaKingCrafty_]

@@jamesharrell4360 This is correct, and also why we may want to consider not calling it that; by calling this animal the "Bobbitt Worm", we are by default making light of domestic abuse. Not that I am suggesting anyone is so doing deliberately, my comment is only food for thought. I myself called it BW before this was brought to my attention, and now I share the perspective for consideration.

[@kuitaranheatmorus9932]

These 13 things in nature are very spooky but nonetheless pretty cool, to me and just gives mature such a more interesting flatre to them I like this video ♥

[@douggaudiosi14]

Wtf are you saying, are you having a stroke

[@brendanhoffmann8402]

There's a species of fish that they harvest in the deep waters around Australia and New Zealand. McDonalds even use it in their Filet O Fish burgers here! Blue Grenadier is the name of the fish, a kind of rat tail deep sea fish. Very tasty, very sustainable.

[@little.prince]

Imagine hallucinating at the bottom of the ocean. I’d be dead by fear before oxygen ran out.

[@StephenHayko-i6y]

Hyosciamine is extracted from Belladonna and used frequently for IBS spasms. It seems to work for some people.

[@pandap4ntz]

I've heard that it's still used in some form by eye docs for dialated eye exams... not sure if that's true tho. That's why I'm scrolling the comments, looking to see if anyone has further info on the matter.

[@jalenprice4504]

Happy Halloween! ❤

[@AvB.83]

Being able to detect the heartbeat through the electric signals sounds quite scary. I'm guessing it only works on very short distance, but that basically negates every type of camouflage... (now I'm wondering if it would be theoretically possible for invertebrates to have a conductive exoskeleton by, idk, eating dirt from specific places that is rich in metals or something 😅 like a reverse faraday cage)

[@Eloraurora]

I don't know whether there's any real animal that does it, but you've got an excellent world building idea there.

[@notsae66]

​@@ElorauroraIt's literally the first entry in this video.

[@jamesharrell4360]

Hammerhead sharks, rays, etc... all very well documented and filmed swimming just above the sand for a tasty morsel; Just like sea fairing birds, cows, etc. can detect the magnetic fields. (And other amazing acts of living organisms..) so many amazing abilities from them...yet my dog still is spooked by his own fart like he didn't feel it. Has to get up and find out where that noise behind him came from... 🤦🏻‍♂️😁

[@MrGeekFreek]

Damn nature. You scary.

bro, this last part of the vampires i couldn't bear to watch. I'm already starting to itch here kkkkk

[@morrigan908]

Carnivorous armadillo may well be the most nightmare fuel thing I've ever heard. That just ain't right. Edit: Adding "mucus-lined burrows" to that list. Nope, nope, nope.

Hmm Lamprey Eel that sucks out your insides alive or the Cookie Cutter Shark that takes a bite of flesh of anything living.

Hire Portuguese fishermen to take care of the lamprey, we love to eat lamprey

[@knukkleszmobtana291]

Ghost sharks look like the evolutionary step between rays and sharks 🤔

[@firbolg]

Actually, in Portugal, atlantic lampreys are considered a delicacy and it's quite the expensive dish. Was invited to eat it a couple of times and I'm not a fan, personally!

[@duanesamuelson2256]

Forgot to mention that they go after swimmers (humans) at time. There was a run of lamprey attacks on humans a few years ago in Lake Champlain

[@emom358]

How do fish, evolved in saltwater, move so effortlessly into freshwater?

So in other words….. lampreys are just a Dino sized leeches 😱😱😱😱😱

[@abcdef2069]

how can you detect electric field? as soon as you feel one you get an electric shock and die or if the e-field is weak, nearby molecules move towards the source immediately to neutralize it. in other words, how can you create a electric potential and maintain the potential without other molecules to come and neutralize it

[@Titus-as-the-Roman]

Pound for pound those small cats that made their way into S. America were probably some of the best overall Killers in the Animal Kingdom & was the most to blame for the Marsupial and similar Placentals destruction. Big Birds can't eat smaller mammals if something beyond their grasp has eaten them first

How quickly can disappear bobbit! Dragging a prey with him! Power & speed is breathtaking. By the way, how to consume prey is another curiosity. Does it devout preys whole or only meat? Then, residue, if so? Reappear on the sea floor as skeleton?

[@DrachenGothik666]

Humans eat a wide range of nightshade-related plants: tomatoes, tomatillos, potatoes, peppers, & eggplant. Note that we eat the fruits specifically (except for potato--that's the tuber)--the rest of the plant is still toxic to us.
