No new video this week, but stay tuned to go below the surface and behind the scenes with our underwater videographers starting next week!
In the meantime, dive deeper into the topics touched on in our latest Long Story Short episode, Whales Under Pressure:
ā¢ āŖ@SciShowā¬ explores why marine animals donāt get āthe bendsā: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfBOp...
ā¢ Speaking of the bends, āŖ@HakaiMagazineā¬ details how this name came to be and why it was observed in construction workers in the 1800s in their video, "A High Pressure Job": hakaimagazine.com/videos-visuals/a-high-pressure-jā¦
ā¢ The folks at āŖ@EVNautilusā¬ regularly explore deep ocean environments with ROVs and share their finds. Watch them encounter a sperm whale at almost 600 meters deep in the Gulf of Mexico: https://youtu.be/SkBpummjR5I. Learn about the sheer amount of pressure their ROVs experience: nautiluslive.org/resource/deep-sea-pressure-teachiā¦
ā¢ Check out the Northeast Pacific Deep Sea Exploration Project: www.oceannetworks.ca/expeditions/northeast-pacificā¦ and highlights from scientist āŖ@cherissedupreezā¬

We've been taking a short break from putting out new videos, but will be back in just over a week with a new one from our Long Story Shorts series of quick coastal science explainers. Here's a sneak peek! What question could we be answering with these fun animations? š§ Find out next week!
In the meantime, catch up on our other explainers here: www.youtube.com/playlist?list...

Poll time! ā° Spring is in the air, and pollinators are busy visiting flowers. But it's not just the bees and butterflies hard at work moving pollen from plant to plant. If you watched our recent video on the lesser known pollinators, you'll know there are plenty of bugs that pollinate with far less fanfare. Which example of unsung pollinators was your favourite?
(Missed the episode? Catch it here: https://youtu.be/EzwjlrSFnIc)
OPTIONS: ā
ā¢ Hoverflies, who visit more than 70% of the world's food crops and wildflowers.
ā¢ Wasps, who bug š us at picnics not to feed themselves, but to feed their young. The adults, meanwhile, visit flowers to get a sugary fix.
ā¢ Beetles, who pollinate nearly 9/10 flowering plants at one time or another. Some beetles also use the more sturdy open flowers as a spot to find a mate!

Poll time! ā° Which is your favourite fun fact from our recent Microworlds: Bugs video, "Bugs on the Rocks"? (In case you missed it, you can catch up here: https://youtu.be/ir5eXTrkBfI
OPTIONS: ā
ā¢ Snout mites can walk (and raft) on water
ā¢ Barnacle fly larvae grow up inside barnacles, feeding on their hosts and getting protection from the elements
ā¢ Jumping bristletails can jump more than ten times their body length
ā¢ Bristletails are some of the earliest insects to have evolved, and first show up in the fossil record more than 200 million years ago

Poll time! ā° Which is your favourite fun fact from our recent Microworlds: Bugs video, "Survival in the Sand"? (In case you missed it, we meet three sand-loving critters in this episode: sand wasps š, rove beetles šŖ², and tiger beetles šÆšŖ² (oh my!)ācatch up here: https://youtu.be/gmnout-bz9Y)
OPTIONS: ā
ā¢ Sand wasps dig holes in the sand (like tiny, six-legged, winged dogs!)
ā¢ There are more than 56,000 described species of rove beetles worldwide, which is more than all the known birds, mammals, and fish combined!
ā¢ Tiger beetles run so fast (scaled for size, they're 10X faster than Usain Bolt) that they temporarily go blind mid-dash because their brains can't process the image fast enough mid-dash.
