I think there is some footage of the wild onihr accidentally categorised as oppih, here. While the species do look similar: they are distinct, and it's important to recognise the difference.

I had a wonderful time watching the True Facts about the Nudibranch this morning. It's on the longer side (10 whole minutes!) and fantastic the whole way through. Ze Frank has a clear love for the weirdos of the deep.

I laughed so hard at this. Which is just what I needed before heading to bed at 3am after a long day.

Thank you. The face blurring was my favorite part, followed by ze’s laughter in close second.

True Facts makes me so happy, and I can share it with my nephews, especially because one of them is called "David," and that's Ze Frank's default name for a member of the species acting dumb (Ant Mutualism is a good example.)

As much as I love Ze Frank and "True Animal Facts", I felt like this one was reaching for a laugh that wasn't really there.

Has Ze Frank always pronounced “baby” like Moira Rose?

For a while, at least.

Don Pepino - That's how they spread their "scent" to mark territory. OMG indeed.

This was exactly the kind of stupid I needed today. Laughed the whole way through.

Incidentally, "A Hippo In Forward Time" is the name of my Flecktones tribute album.
