Hola Deep Peeps (and Deep Lookers, and Macronauts...)

🕳️👀❤️ It was close - but the votes are in. 📜 Henceforth, we shall call ourselves… DEEP PEEPS! Thank you to all who helped us decide.
Although the people have spoken, and #deeppeeps is here to stay… variety is the spice of life. So we hereby sanction the runners up - #deeplookers and #macronauts - as *acceptable alternate names* for occasional use.
If you feel like one of these describes you best, we get it. Seriously. GO FOR IT....

Planarians are tiny googly-eyed flatworms with an uncanny ability: They can regrow their entire bodies, even a new head. So how do they do it?
Other animals like starfish, salamanders and crabs can regrow a tail or a leg. Planarians, on the other hand, can regrow their entire bodies -- even their heads, which only a few animals can do.
Key to planarians’ regenerative ability are powerful cells...

Voracious, venomous and hella leggy, house centipedes are masterful predators with a knack for fancy footwork. But not all their legs are made for walking, they put some to work in other surprising ways.
Recognizable for their striking (some might say, repulsive) starburst-like shape, house centipedes have far fewer than the 100 legs their name suggests. They’re born with a modest eight, a count that grows to 30 as they reach adulthood.
If 30 legs sound like more...

Fluffy kittens chasing a ball are beyond adorable -- but they sure aren't born that way. Practically deaf and blind, in their first few weeks they need constant warmth and milk to survive. This is a huge challenge for animal shelters, so they're working with researchers on ways to help motherless kittens flourish.

We have a special behind-the-scenes video for Patrons today! Meet Teodros Hailye, the digital artist who creates the 3D models for our series' animations.
While the Deep Look team typically shoots 90+% of what you see in a final episode, sometimes there are processes or views we just can't get with the camera. Maybe the critter we are filming won't cooperate. Maybe we want to show something happening *inside* the animal or plant. Or the process we want to explain is j...

Nudibranchs may look cute, squishy and defenseless ... but watch out. These brightly-colored sea slugs aren't above stealing weapons from their prey.
The summer months bring low morning tides along the California coast, providing an opportunity to see one of the state’s most unusual inhabitants, sea slugs.
Many of these relatives of snails are brightly colored and stand out among the seaweed and anemones living next to them in tidepools.
