Spending 80% of their day looking for food? Ha! I can beat that! Wait …

[kezia]

Oooh! An animal I HAVEN'T heard of?? This doesn't happen often!! Thank you for broadening my horizons about these cute little furry elephants!

[jackfinn]

Hyrax/Dassies would make a great video! There's a lot more to them then just sharing a common ancestor with Elephants

[mamaluigi]

3:51 if Sengi becomes a Pokémon, I don’t care what type it’ll be but if it CAN’T learn TRAILBLAZE I’ll be sorely disappointed.

[endrankluvsdaloko]

Very interesting. They look like a mix between a kangaroo, mouse, and possum. And I was digging that background drawing going on during the narration. Noice!

[beaskywalk]

Here finally an explanation for the "genetically closer to elephants" remark. It is often presented as a weird fact, but quite obvious when you know that they developed while Africa was isolated.

They are like rhinogrades but real! Absolutely adorable critters.

[claraclear]

I've always been fascinated by these wonderful little creatures

[Fefshtr]

you're all such excellent narrators

[sandcurves]

I'm so happy to see an episode on Sengis. We first discovered these guys by accident when I worked in a lodge in Namibia and they've been special to me ever since. And I've hardly ever met anyone who even knows what they are.

I want to hear what a Sengi scream sounds like. It sounds adorable 🤗 ❤ 🥰

Just finished watching our planet that featured elephants roaming around in India in the city streets. Then the episode ends as the elephants fall asleep

[idraote]

And there are still people who say "they love animals" and see nothing wrong in leaving their cats free to roam in the wild.

0:10 THE WHAT!?!?

Also the reference at 4:41 got to me man.

I would be interested in seeing an episode about the water rats, or the Rakali, of Australia. One of the reasons why I find these guys interesting is because they're native placental mammals in an otherwise marsupial mammal dominated land.

[CoralReaper]

You should talk about the false saber tooth cats (also known as the barbourofelids)

[stevebennett]

Do an episode on the north American wild turkey. They're smart, pretty and the Tom's look cool when they're all puffed up.

[CuriosityCabinetChannel]

They are both so cute and fascinating! Made me immediately develop a fascination for these curious little creatures. Also, the video is so well written, made, and narrated (and drawn!) as always~

[competitionglen]

The Numbat, Australia's forgotten marsupial 😢 my favourite. It just doesn't get any recognition but it's awesome.
