20:02Why Do So Many Animals in the Deep Sea Not Die?
Scale & Specificity
- The title's question is broad, so the thumbnail answers it with one extreme case, a 537 year old shark.
- That age reaches back to the late 1400s, older than most countries.
- A diver at its snout turns a fact into a face-to-face meeting.
Title
So Many and Not Die make the claim sound widespread rather than a fluke, so the shark on the thumbnail reads as the first example of many.
Thumbnail
The red arrow ties the age to the shark itself, and its mottled, scarred skin looks as old as the number claims.
When your title asks a broad question about a whole group, answer it on the thumbnail with the single most extreme example. Put its number in large text and point an arrow at the example itself.
