   This kid has started a pretty good youTube channel on early animals.

   (He also has a boatload of informative bird videos but obviously I'm here for the arthropods)

     There are still good things on the internet. And good things being added to the internet on the daily. I wish people would link more of the good low-view count videos they find. These only have like 600 views, but the quality is excellent.

     We need to work to expose the real internet which is stuff posted by people who care about it a lot.

     I really enjoy the simple but essentially accurate drawings in this video mixed with photos of fossils. With cambrian animals it's tempting and fun to get imaginative. But these simple drawings represent the limit of what we really know.

     Also, they are the kind of drawings that make you want to try drawing these creatures yourself. This is one of the best ways to understand them better regardless of the quality of your results.
