    I wouldn't say this clip about whale crap is the best BBC Earth video ever, but it's a solid number 2.

    In Earth's timeline, so many animals have gone extinct, But who in here is glad to live and see whales still alive in our own timeline? It's amazing!

    We cannot deny how many whales die because of ship strikes; the numbers are very alarming. But there are some solutions. Our crew spoke to Michael Fishbach of the Great Whale Conservancy about where exactly the problem lies and what we might be able to do to stop it. There's still hope!

    When I first heard about Asha De Vos' research about whale poo, I was awestruck! Whales are an amazing species. 💙

    They're like the OG endurance athletes. It is genuinely baffling to comprehend swimming half way across the world. They just swim and swim non stop 24/7 and even when sleeping they are still moving and surfacing for air.
