In his first few weeks on TikTok, Ndiaye didn’t see much success with videos focused on gym banter and online dating jokes. But on June 13, 2020, he was inspired by his childhood infatuation withand created a video titled “Animals That Are BIGGER Than You Think,” where he talked about the sheer size of hippos, elephants and saltwater crocodiles.
“I literally went from making videos just like everybody else, and then suddenly I'm verified,” he said. “It happened too fast for me to even really process” “I try to be comedic about it,” he says. “I try to avoid just lecturing people because nobody really likes that, especially on TikTok where everyone's attention span is really short.”
“Much of the information he has shared about exotic animals was mentioned while I shadowed at the Dallas Zoo,” Little said. “His work grabs your attention because he’s a pretty funny guy, but the information he shares is also a mixture of jarring yet insightful material.”
