- This video shows a deep-sea squid Gonatus onyx fighting to eat an owlfish Pseudobathylagus milleri. It was recorded using remotely operated vehicle Doc Ricketts.
The title of this video refers to the law of tooth and claw, a literary theme depicting the violence in nature. Jack London's "The Call of the Wild" is a classic example of this theme.
Video producer: Susan von Thun
Script and narration: Bruce Robison
Production support: Nancy Jacobsen Stout
Free hugs gone wrong.
Raider Karazaki But that's pretty much always how free hugs and up.
That's pretty messed up.🤭😂
Gone sexual
Free meal.
@@kimbaldun This vid turned me on ngl
"And uses it's sharp beak to sever the fish's spinal cord to render it helpless".
HOLY SHIT!
I thought it was just going to bite it to death (I mean I guess it still is), but I did not expect that.
"The law of beak and claw" sounds like the name of a badass fantasy novel.
A Song of Ice and Fire, the Law of Beak and Claw. Same thing.
It's a reference to a chapter in the book "Call of the Wild" called "Law of Club and Fang"
What about: “Claw and Order”?
I imagined it as manga for some reason
Sounds more like when my parrot tells me he wants more food.
Well since the chances of anyone filming a sperm whale/giant squid encounter are very slim. I guess this battle between smaller animals will have to do.
Captain Gr00vy that would be an epic battle worthy of tales told by mouth for centuries.
I'm holding out for blue whale versus wading elephant.
I’m still shocked no one has managed to capture footage of that yet - we have the technology, no?
Mann Face you acting like with our technology we can do literally anything.
Is a humboldt squid
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Mr. Squid is definite apart of that band.... if you get my drift.
Now Im falling asleep, and shes calling a cab.
The cab was an Uber/Lift that was bit late for this fare.
Ummm... Kiss of death?😂😂😂😂
I just can't look it's killing me
And it's taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Wow, it looks like a miniaturized version of giant squid vs sperm whale. Except in this case the predator/prey relationship is reversed between cephalopod and vertebrate. These squid are only about a foot long, but it really looks like an almost perfectly scaled-down version of a colossal.
Yes, but a battle between spermwhale and giant squid must be brutal and overwhelming.
This is true some Sperm Whales have been found with strange bowl like carvings in the whale. This has been found out to be a feeding behavior of giant squids. So Sperm Whales and Giant Squid feed of each other rather than just one way predator vs prey relationship.
sperm whale way more badass tho lol...they do battle while holding their breath...and they have teeth and big mouth...this fish's mouth was useless lol
These squid types are only a foot long and can grow to be 300 feet.
Cranky Kong the bowl like carvings are actually from cookie cutter sharks - really interesting species of shark! but, the sperm whales do have scars from battles with squid.
The ocean is so metal
True lol, but even if we don't notice it, we're more metal by default. Permanently surviving outside of water is an incredible feat that few species could manage way back in time. Having to form thick, strong membranes outside our body to minimize loss of fluid. We live in some environments way more harsh than the ocean.
@@CrimsonArcturus Lies, escaping to land was not easy. Especially since we had to wait for plants to create a breathable atmosphere, but living on land is easy mode compared to the cursed waters.
@@pixelatedgrass7528 exactly. there is no high ground in the waters.
How?
@@pixelatedgrass7528 lies, the fuck you know? Is this a fish
I can't imagine living my life like that on the daily. Constantly trying to search and hunt for food and trying to avoid being eaten by something.
That's literally the ironic thing. It only seems horrible because you have an imagination
Exactly and these animals dont have the consciousness to be scared, they react on instinct and live their life
Well get ready to do just that...
In case you haven't noticed...the world is falling apart.
Thank you, Bruce, that was epic, in a morbid sort of way. I'm really enjoying learning about these aquatic monsters :) Terrific UA-cam channel.
Im so glad we have arms with hands and fingers on them.
That narration, and the material narrated, was incredible. I think it fit very well with the battle that was being described, and was most certainly very enjoyable.
That's exactly the same thing my ex-wife did to me. But I was able to swim away while she went looking for other prey. She is still looking. :o)
Congratulations!!!
Glad your spinal cord is safe buddy
Bruce Robison is one of the best narrators I've ever heard. An American David Attenborough .
I love the way you guys bring these amazing discoveries to us in your videos!
Thank you!
That's an ambitious squid! How much of that fish can it even eat?
We followed this squid and owlfish for nearly one hour with the ROV and saw no sign of the squid giving up. It is likely that it would eat the entire fish, but may take hours or even days to do so.
Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) wow, cool!!!
"It is likely that it would eat the entire fish"
No its not.That fish is like 5 times the weight of the squid maybe more... If it hangs on for a month it could maybe come close to eat that but not in like 3 days, or "hours" as u say.
In the deep sea food is scarce so to survive animals need adaptations such as low metabolism and thoroughly gorging on the rare meals they do catch. In foreign environments like the deep sea our common sense tends to break down, plus I should point out they study these environments ;)
MrJuhs91 ok mr squid expert who knows more than an aquarium research institute
At first I thought he was guna say that the eyesight of the fish and the agility of the squid made them an unstoppable hunting duo . That was why the squid was hitching a ride, while his buddy scoped out the next meal for him to catch for them both to share. But no .. in fact the opposite . fishy boy didnt even see squid coming and now hes getting death hugged and beaked through the spine. thanks nature
Its the deep sea. Each one for his own. Unless there's a special ant type worker class of sea animal
Some people criticize humans for their "factory farms" or whatever, but at least we don't eat these creatures alive and slowly like so often can happen. Nature is far more brutal than humans usually. Anyone that has searched "pregnant eaten alive" on youtube or randomly come across theses kinds of videos on here knows this.
The narration to this is really well written.
First time I watch the whole struggle between fish and squid!
Thanks MBARI
Squid: *cuddle attacks * Hai! :3
Fish: hewwo o//w//o
Squid: boop! *boops fish with beak* teehee cx!
Fish: ×///3///×
Thank you as this commentary was very interesting along with clear images on the video!
Outstanding footage and narration. Thanks for sharing!
That fish seems entirely unconcerned that there is a squid trying to break it's back.
@@_lince it wasnt dead.... it tried to shake the squid 2 or 3 times
Incredible literate description. Thank you.
"The law of beak and claw" is an awesome name for an action movie or kung fu movie
Thanks for the video bruce and keep up the good work MBAR.
Bedtime Stories by Bruce Robinson
And this is why you should be thankful to have arms and hands able to pull things off you.
Nice nod to Ed Ricketts with the sub, the inspiration for the Doc character in Cannery Row by John Steinbeck.
Wow it’s like the damn Wild West down there... it’s really cool they were able to get footage of this
I'll be able to sleep well tonight! Thanks ....... Bruce.
That is very fascinating, the squid has a really good grip as I thought the movement of the fish would get away at one point!
I've heard squid are aggressive. That seemed like a really big fish for that squid. Impressive.
That squid is a total prick, I hope that fish's family sue him for everything he's worth!
One dies so another can live. A brutal truth constantly repeating itself.
Aw man, I was rooting for the fish too.
spoiler alert LOL
Ando i
There's probably a reason it was called "The law of beak and claw" rather than "The law of fin and scale". XD
Nah, I was team squid :D
Ando Squid is so ugly
man that strikes me as a surprisingly similar hunting strategy to most mustelids that hunt animals bigger than themselves! grapple with the prey, subdue it and sever the spinal column
This was super cool! Thanks, MBARI. My labmate and I were wondering a few things. How does the squid know where the spinal cord is? It seems like a lot of work to orient itself correctly. Plus, it's probably pretty dark. Does the squid just use its beak to start biting in hopes of reaching the spinal cord, or is it more directed?
As we watched this interaction, we saw that the squid was rotating the fish with its arms, so it must know which end is the head by feeling the fish with its arms. Deep-sea squid are very good at striking fish and holding on so that they can manipulate and orient the fish. The squid was biting a groove around the fish's head. It probably keeps biting until the fish is dead.
Isn't the squid also wrapping its arms tightly around the gills so as to prevent the fish from breathing?
Ive heard some predators teeth can sense blood pressure or whatever
I wouldnt be surprised if super intelligent 🐙 did not have some kind of an innate sense of neural systems around them or whatever
Excellent footage and commentary!
Those scales look pretty neat, though its hard to judge scale.... everything in the deep is either way smaller or way larger than I think it is when I first see it in pictures or videos like these.
I am so happy I will never ever allow myself to be eaten like that.
Cool strategy. Straight for the spine
man watching them dance to death makes me ponder about life
An interesting narration. Thanks.
Epic. Love this channel.
What an amazing research institute you are, MBARI. THANK YOU!!!
"I can show you the worrrrrrrld,
Shining, shimmering, splendid"
"The Kraken" playing in the background in my head.
Thanks for making this video! Squid are fascinating.
Excellent narrative.
You guys have the best logo
It would be awesome to see a larger fish or squid scoop them up in the midst of their struggles.
Love these awesome clear images
Shaggy scales are mere Scooby Snacks to the squid.
One other thing I noticed. While the squid has the fish with its suckers and tentickles wrapped around the gills, making it hard for the fish to breathe.
Squid: You guys stop recording my dinner videos
The fish was almost able to just shake off this nuisance.
Hugs and kisses and a very bad ending. Sounds like marriage
that thing is just dragging the fish into the depths of abysmal hell
it's so cute, it's like a tiny sperm whale vs giant squid fight
I don't know if I can not think about this when eating squids..
Wow. And they say there are humpback whales found with squid tentacle marks wrapped around their bodies? That truly is a monster of a squid. This video is something of an epiphany to me. That is crazy.
What a beautiful story.
Wow! Imagine how much energy that fish represents to a squid hovering in and out of OMZ.
that fish looks like it would've been blinded if it escaped anyway
That squid has some wicked big claws on its arm clubs, wow, so big that they look like thumbs.
I legit just thought these guys were homies and the squid was just catching a ride.
Now take this & make it roughly 5x larger & you've got the battle that no one has ever seen (Sperm Whale vs Giant Squid).
Sperm Whales are much bigger and cleverer than a fish, thats less a battle and more of a massacre from what I've read. Biggest carnivore on the planet with a brain to match.
5 times larger? owlfishes can reach up to 16.5 cm, sperm whales can reach this in meters, 100 times the lengh of the fish and thousand times it's weight
Damn, I was rooting for the fish.
Me too
What a difficult battle.
the narator voice like my English Teacher... he is kind and like to tell story before study...
Squid: This is just a prank bro. Shh..shh..
Sounds like a short twilight zone episode
Terrifying prey and predator video.
What soundtrack would go well with this?
I must invite... Mz Maau
Great video and information. nature is so incredible. Music? Hmm How about "I did it my way?" :)
Indeed. There's a reason the world is tentacle mad these days.
Montanan Millionaire
thanks for making that stick in my head.
Mz Maau I've seen enough National Geographic to know where this is going.
Rosie O'Donnell, you are not alone.
Nature ain't a Disney movie, kids.
I'll stick with tigers and bears, thank you. Land predators are nasty, but oceanic predators are the stuff of nightmares. Imagine having no arms, and some hellspawn creature with eight flexible arms lined with suckers slams into your neck, wraps them around it, then with its beak pressed hard up against your neck it starts chewing into your spinal cord, where it then proceeds to eat you alive little beak bite by little beak bite. No thanks, I'll pass...
That little squid is gunna eat that whole fish?
We followed this squid and owlfish for nearly one hour with the ROV and saw no sign of the squid giving up. It is likely that it would eat the entire fish, but may take hours or even days to do so.
your computer is an deep sea batiscaf now
That squid is squid bagging that fish. 😁
Awesome video and very informative
MAYBE THIS IS WHAT THE BATTLE OF A GIANT SQUID AND A WHALE LOOK LIKE BUT SMALLER, AND THERE NOT FIGHTING
i love these videos
it glows when its feeding thats awesome
Wow! Thanks for sharing 👍
I saw a cartoon-faced squid in the thumbnail and I clicked
Squid's on the menu tonight!
Great stuff
Does this hurt the car
This shit just hit different at 2:46AM
Ah yes, a face hugger in the wild
I only learned how 🦑 operate their bodies recently
I don’t understand people who dislike it, it’s nature, get over it
get rekt fish
you done did
A squid eating dough in a polyurethane bag is fast and bulbous... got me??
Man, you really made that simple.
It's a squid eat fish world down there....
I met the squid buying a Fridge at Walmart that evening
This fish is not having a good day.
I live in Watsonville and moved here from Tennessee. Do y’all have the research vessel in Moss Landing? I would love to have an experience to go on an expedition within the bay!
Apparently social distancing is being done properly here
