What Deep Planet is
Deep Planet is a YouTube channel about the animals and places at the edges of our planet: a shark in the Arctic that may be 400 years old, a jellyfish the size of a pea that can restart its life, a goose that flies over the Himalaya, a salt lake with a shore at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico. Every episode turns published research into a short, calm story in plain English, with the sources listed under the video. No jargon, no doom, just the strangest true things about the planet you are standing on.
How the episodes are made
Each story is told twice: as a one-minute Short and as a three-minute episode. Three or four episodes are then stitched into a ten-to-twelve-minute collection for a longer watch. Every claim is checked against the research it comes from, and many episodes also carry Spanish, French and German narration and captions. The channel started publishing in September 2026 and adds new stories every week.
The shop
This shop is the channel's home on the web. The designs come straight from the stories: one large animal across the front of a tee, a hoodie or a sweatshirt, with the arched Deep Planet emblem on the upper right. The colours are the channel's own twelve, each named for the place it comes from, from the abyss of the deep sea to glacier ice.
Everything is printed to order by our production partner, so there is no leftover stock, and every order helps pay for the research behind the next episode. We currently ship to addresses in the United States; shipping cost and timing for your address are shown at checkout.
Who is behind it
Deep Planet is made by a small team and operated by Dovecore Software LLC in Palm Springs, California. Questions about an order, a design or the channel: info@deepplanet.tv.
