Doctor NOS finds a flamingo refuge in a mummifying lake
"Mummies" approaches a million views as six new uploads move between strange wildlife, zombies and living forever.
Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
Mummies
The flamingos have an advantage. In Doctor NOS's "Mummies," water that preserves dead animals becomes a protective barrier around nesting birds: an unlikely nursery with a rather effective moat.
Wearing safety goggles and a lab coat, Doctor NOS explains Lake Natron's highly alkaline water through animated visuals of moisture loss and salt-encrusted animals. Then comes the reversal. Flamingos can tolerate conditions that discourage predators from approaching their nests. A comparison with a teenager's messy bedroom takes the explanation back into comedy, followed by a brief jump scare. In the comments, viewers keep returning to the ending and the return of that familiar comic flourish.
"Mummies" was the most-watched of six uploads this week, reaching roughly 906,000 views. "Zombie apocalypse" also drew a substantial audience, while the newer "Live forever" is currently gathering views fastest across the channel. The older "In the back rooms?" remains another busy corner of the catalog. Elsewhere, the week's titles returned to extinct animals and creatures caught on camera, familiar territory for a channel whose biggest regular-video hits explore megalodon and ocean mysteries.
Doctor NOS added 30,000 subscribers over the week, with daily viewing currently a little above its usual pace. Among nearby storytelling and mystery channels, Andy Jiang had the larger weekly viewing gain, while Nexpo and Top5s had quieter weeks. For Doctor NOS, this week's distinctive discovery was above the ocean floor: flamingos making a home in water most animals would do well to avoid.
