What did you think?

"There's honestly whales somewhere around here," Brodie Moss says from his transparent kayak. Almost immediately, the ocean supplies rather more confirmation than he bargained for: a whale breaks the surface beside him, throwing spray and rocking the boat.

That brief encounter is "sneak attack..", YBS Youngbloods' only new upload this week. It has reached roughly 168,000 views, with Brodie turning the camera back towards his startled face after the splash. Viewers are playing with the reversal: perhaps the whale thought the human was the surprising one. Others reckon both parties got a fright.

The larger adventure drawing attention is "4 Days Exploring For Sea Creatures In Remote Australia". Despite the four days in its title, Brodie says the film took more than a year to make, across tide pools, mangrove forests, isolated islands and outings in his transparent kayak. Now above five million views, it is the channel's busiest video at the moment. June's "Transparent Kayak - World's Largest Shark" is also among the uploads drawing the most daily views.

YBS added 10,000 subscribers over the week, although daily viewing is running at a little over half its usual level. That softer pace extends to several animal-channel neighbours, including The Pet Collective and Rocky Kanaka. For Brodie, the clear kayak remains a particularly effective viewing platform, even when the wildlife gets close enough to rock it.
