Steve Irwin, the "Crocodile Hunter", died on 4 Sept 2006. So it seems appropriate to post this Saltwater Crocodile (Crocodylus porosus), spotted at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve, Singapore on 20 Oct 2025.

What To Watch On YouTube Right Now – Part 152

Welcome back my readers, YouTube viewers and all others who followed this series of articles focused on YouTube videos worth watching.

Have you been searching for something fun or interesting to watch on YouTube? Do you feel bored right now and you crave for something to see on the world’s most popular online video destination?

I recommend you check out the following videos I found.

#1 Focus on Kevin McHale – It has been more than thirty years since Kevin McHale retired from the NBA. McHale was one of the premier power forwards of the NBA in 1980s and even though he won the Sixth Man Award and three NBA championships with Celtics (he formed the nucleus with Larry Bird and Robert Parish), he has been overlooked in discussions about the most notable power forwards of the league. McHale was also declared as one of the greatest NBA players ever. That said, now is a good time to revisit NBA history with focus on McHale and what he achieved.

https://youtu.be/FAEf73XOaYc?si=kgnxJghtEyKhQpqk

#2 NiGHTS into Dreams…revisited – Way back in 1996, Sega released NiGHTS into Dreams… which was a very ambitious Sega Saturn video game made by the same key creators behind the popular Sonic games on Sega Genesis. Back in the old days, Sega was in a bind as it faced tough competition from Nintendo and Sony. That said, the company really had to make an exclusive game that is of very high quality, fun-filled gameplay and ambitious creative designs. That said, I encourage you all to watch the retrospective video about NiGHTS into Dreams… below.

https://youtu.be/18kh1M-2Dw8?si=a9M6DG4HW-9O0pfM

#3 Ashleigh Burton reacts to The Animatrix – When it comes to entertainment in the year of 2003, The Matrix entertainment franchise really left its mark with the two hyped sequels The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions but also with the video game Enter The Matrix and the animated anthology The Animatrix. Released between the two live-action movies, The Animatrix featured several animated short stories of the Matrix universe done by different creators and each had different styles of art and visual concepts. The Animatrix also was designed to expand and explain the lore that delighted the fans while helping newcomers get oriented efficiently. As of this writing, there are several YouTube reaction videos about The Animatrix and the one that entertained me the most was that of Ashleigh Burton. Go watch her reaction video below.

https://youtu.be/V-PupQe57ic?si=5adM7TKKyGjCZ-In

#4 Japan opposes Islamic immigration – Let us be very clear here. Massive Islamic immigration is causing a lot of trouble in countries that accepted it. In Japan there is an obvious rise of criminal acts, public nuisance and other forms of problems caused by Islamist foreigners there. There were already rape acts committed by Pakistani men, a dumping of garbage committed by a man from Turkey and more. It is also obvious that the Muslim foreigners in Japan have no respect for Japanese culture, rules and social norms. As such, the Japanese opposition against the Islamist foreigners is real and only growing. Watch and learn from the video below.

https://youtu.be/–c72np5F6c?si=AIZ7rsKN7iTBwAgD

#5 You, Me and the Movies react to Alligator (1980) – As a very young boy, I saw the 1980 film Alligator on a rented Betamax tape. I saw it alone during my first viewing, and later got a few friends to watch it with me on my second viewing. Alligator was one of those monster movies (AKA creature features) inspired by Steven Spielberg’s Jaws as several movie producers hoped to cash-in on the 1975 film’s popularity and the box office trends of the time. Alligator has its own charm and entertainment value, and you can discover more by watching the reaction video of You, Me and the Movies below.

https://youtu.be/uvPXSuJS4AI?si=ZMmUuJW2esd8P5It

#6 Woke WNBA Slammed by NBA Legends – When the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) first launched in 1997, there was excitement and hope for the development of women competing in professional basketball. Today, the WNBA remains an enduring financial failure as it never came close to the NBA in terms of mainstream importance. Worse, the WNBA has turned woke and it is very accepting towards biological males who identified themselves as women. The transgender and social justice diseases are deep in the minds of the people leading the WNBA which led to the growing madness. Recently, the WNBA’s hypocrisy has been exposed and already there were NBA legends who expressed their opinions against the screwed-up league. Watch and learn from the video below.

https://youtu.be/1a35uWCuoKo?si=1lVlDH14fkhsoiRH

#7 Premium Corn Craze in Japan – Have you ever tasted corn imported from Japan? The Japanese love corn and the harvesting of corn in their country is a significant industry on its own. As such, it is not surprising that the selling of corn sourced directly from local farmers is highly pursued by locals. Japan also has several varieties of corn ensuring consumers with different tastes have something to enjoy. Watch and learn from the video below.

https://youtu.be/CnvQ3ZlM5J8?si=t5UGbVhQ-eIG9Z2L

#8 1980s Cartoons Revisited – The way my life turned out, the 1980s will always be the most memorable decade of cartoon series (note: anime is exempted, including those that got translated for the West). The 1980s is the very decade that has significant cartoon titles like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero, The Transformers, and so much more. The said decade also has its share of other animated series that failed to attract a massive audience and ended up being obscured and forgotten. To enjoy the nostalgia of 1980s cartoons, watch the videos below.

Environmental crime or wildlife crime are crimes which are destructive or extractive to nature

" Illegal activities harming the environment and aimed at benefiting individuals or groups or companies from the exploitation of, damage to, trade or theft of natural resources, including, but not limited to serious crimes and transnational organized crime"

South Africa’s native reptiles and amphibians, including threatened species, are being illegally captured and exported for the global pet trade.

A recent study found that eight of the 10 most-exported reptiles from South Africa are native species, most of which are not protected by CITES, the global wildlife trade convention.

The 2022 Korean translation of Locked in Time (by Dr Dean Lomax) commissioned me to colourise my 50 greyscale illustrations. Here's "The Transient Oasis," showing a colony of Seirocrinus crinoids drifting on deadwood.

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

Front view of my life-size Megeneura model (70cm wingspan), for the Senckenberg Museum, Frankfurt (2017). It would have been a fearsome predator with a nasty bite and loud wings!

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

I've built multiple life-size Megeneura models over the years, this one, for the Senckenberg Museum, Frankfurt, was the first at the full 70cm wingspan (2017).

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

In 2013 I built 23 scale and life-size models for MUSE Science Museum, in Trento, Italy. Here's Hallucigenia, from the Middle Cambrian.

@KateShaw has released a new episode: The snakes of Snake Island (a lancehead and a snail-eater), the Martinique Fer-de-lance (a different lancehead), and the Louisiana Pine Snake (a constrictor).

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

A 2010 acrylic painting, of Mississippian (the first half of the Carboniferous) fish and crinoids. I've lost the fish species but the crinoids are Abrotocrinus, Dizygocrinus, Dorycrinus, and Decadocrinus.

New paper by @dinosven and team on 'Exquisite skeletons of a new transitional plesiosaur fill gap in the evolutionary history of plesiosauroids'.

And introducing the new plesiosaur Franconiasaurus brevispinus: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/feart.2024.1341470/full

Hiya Mastodon,

Re- #Introduction time! I'm Ash, a stop motion animator of wildlife and paleontologist.

In the last year I moved from Australia to France and to Mastodon from my ex Twitter handle @aela_wild.

With the move I renamed my business to StudioWild. So far it's a better fit :)

Now that I'm set up, I post about natural history and share my mixed media art. I'm looking forward to getting to know my new landscape and all the weird wild animals and places in between.

If you're inclined, my animations live on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@studio_wild
