Methuselah the Australian lungfish is the world’s oldest aquarium fish, and I used that fact to make a small video using a sound that was trending on TikTok at the time. It very quickly became the best performing video on the Academy’s TikTok in terms of organic metrics, gaining over 250K views within a day or two.

Comments left on the video regarding Methuselah’s age asking for her “skincare routine” prompted the creation of a longer video (written, edited, and narrated by me) educating viewers on how the Academy’s aquarium staff takes care of Methuselah. The video reached 38K views with over 7K engagements.
