    In an interview, Pikachu's creator Atsuko Nishida said that she based Pikachu on a Japanese squirrel and a stuffed rice mochi called daifuku. According to Nishida, her concept for Pikachu was originally a white rice ball with black button eyes and green leaves for bunny-like ears, but Nishida got a better idea for Pikachu while feeding squirrels in the park and thus Pikachu got its cheek pouches, tail and other rodent features. But despite that, this is an interesting documentary about Australian animals and wildlife.

    15:30 This is actually very cool but could be explained better, just like a boat traveling on water fish leave a wake trail behind them, the vortices in the water can remain quite a long time effectively forming a trail leading right to the fish who made them, on contact whiskers can detect this trail fast and precise enough for the seal to practically follow it at a fast enough speed to catch up to the fish, they can even do this blindfolded, since some water has very low visibility so it makes sense how they are still able to catch fish despite not being able to see very well.
