Vinthi supplied the amazing Bullia videos with the BlueBottle which is incorrectly attributed
Dr. Winfried Peters:
Dr. Peters spent hours sorting through his research and sending me notes and files. His research is what got me excited about O.semistriatta and I can't be more grateful to have had his help. I have listed a number of his papers further below, and I have made a donation to leatherbacktrust.org in his name.

Nathan was extremely helpful and generous with his time and footage and gave my early script a once over. His research is pretty amazing - on turtles and the giant squid. His hermit crab video is so great in its entirety. Sub to his channels!
Dr.Jon-Paul Bingham
One of cone snail feeding videos came from this lab and it was such an excellent example of the behavior! Thank you so much!
Dr. Mande Holford
Dr. Holford does amazing research on the toxicology of Conus and shared two amazing clips.
Alysia Daines
Alysia helped me identify the O.Semistriatta in the first place and led me to Dr. Peters. Thank you!!

Snail: Screams of pure terror. Zefrank: let’s back up a bit. Perfection.
-
Me: Zefrank: lets just name it Abigail Me: I was not planning to die as a sea snail today
-
"Why is Danny going down to the beach and fingering snail's feet? Mother, you can't talk to me like that anymore; it's my job and I'm a grown man." "Look, it's trying to eat a people." I died, I just died.
-
Abigail was the best snail among us. She passed on so we may learn. That dedication must not be forgotten. The task of learning falls upon all of us.
-
“Look it’s trying to eat a people!” He said...that was so adorable
-
"Just like how human surfers eventually loose their Shirts and shoes and jobs "
-
“An orgy for narcissist” I swear to god this man is a poet
-
My sweet autistic grandson may have met his one true love! So engrossed watching Millie and Abby that he didn't asked the repetitive questions. Don't know if he listened to story but he was most in the spectacle! Thanx for all your wonderful films, we watch daily!
-
“Look it’s trying to eat a people.” Never have I heard a sentence spoken with more pure joy and bemusement.
-
“Don’t give me crap about the Bebe. It’s a very bad Bebe”
-
"...it's over pretty quickly, and it beats dying in a ballsack." Lost it on that one 🤣
-
"its like going into a walmart on black friday and the lights are turned off, you just start grabbing anything and you dont know what you'll end up with" used as analogy for a snail eating random things blindly is comedy gold.
-
"Looks like someone mostly buried an old man on a nudist beach" How does it- OH NO
-
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA- "Let's back up a bit." Oh yeah. This is gonna be a good one.
-
"she also uses these flaps to sort of gallop" relatable.
-
“Don’t give me crap about the Bebe, that’s a very bad BEBE”🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
-
"Kinda ironic to die in a testicle" BEST LINE EVER
-
"It beats dying in a ballsack." So wise.
-
Not only is Ze Frank absolutely hilarious, we're actually learning like 27 real true facts among all the hilarity. Well done, sir, well done!

"You got scared there, didn't you?" I actually did lmao. It was really adding to my reasons never to go in the ocean again. I was pretty much at exactly my surfer snail limit.
