- Why Deep Sea Sharks Appear so Mysterious. Sharks have ruled the deep sea for 450 million years. A time during which sharks have adapted and diversified into an array of weird and wonderful species. Many, like the well-known Great White Shark, have adapted to life in the open ocean, as apex predators at the top of the food chain. But the deeper you go into the gaping void of the deep sea, the more peculiar and otherworldly they become. Let’s take a look at these fascinating, yet often misunderstood inhabitants of the oceans.
From the deep sea goblin shark and the sixgill, to the elusive Greenland shark and frilled shark, we'll take a look at why deep sea sharks appear so peculiar.

Was there a bunch of parts in this with the screen blurred out for anyone else? Can’t imagine what could happen in a shark documentary that requires censorship like that
Pretty scary to think that without that camera light, it’d be pitch black down there with those massive sharks swimming around you 😖
I always wonder how those lights on the submersibles and stuff affect the life down there, since they aren't used to seeing it and are evolved to see in the dark :/ does it hurt their eyes?
@@ThisIsPodcastSpencer That's a really good point! I hadn't considered that before! It must be at least uncomfortable for them to have those bright lights shining in their faces after spending their lives in total darkness! Aside from bioluminescence, anyway 🤔

They’re listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Redlist, so they have a stable population. But they’re incredibly elusive due to their deep sea habitat, so they’re rarely seen.

You should've mentioned how the Cookie Cutter shark almost caused a nuclear war during the cold War, when it tore chunks out of US and Soviet submarines. One day one of them attacked the radar tower, and the US sub thought it must have been some sort of Soviet attack

@Gavin Gilbert Fear not the dark, my friend. And let the feast begin.
I used to have these horrible nightmares of sharks despite never having a traumatic experience. So one night I came across a fascinating documentary, not as relaxing as this one, that told the story of a great white sharks life from a pup to an adult. It featured the incredible lengths of how hard it is for them to survive and drove the point home that the predator wasn't born over night. It actually made me sympathetic enough I was rooting for him when he finally caught a seal. After that I never had another shark nightmare.
They are predators that need to be respected but they are also living creatures deserving to exist like any other species.
Beautifully put! I love sharks, from the bottom of my heart. Too many people think of them as nothing more than mindless killers, when in fact they’re marvels of adaptation, rulers of the food web, and are so incredibly important to marine biodiversity!

Id love to watch that, is it on UA-cam?
What’s the documentary on?
sharks are truly amazing creatures, its absolutely astonishing how all the variates of sharks have evolved to be so different than one another. It's extremely sad that most people dont take the time to understand these fascinating animals.
…and to not kill them for their fins!!
In the famous words of Justin Timberlake “such beautiful creatures. But SO. FEROCIOUS.”
Same with humans imo. People are quick to say we’re all one species but I disagree. There are different strands of humanity just as there are cats, sharks, horses, tulips, yew trees etc etc.
I would be terrified if I had to film those different sharks. I know most of the shark species don’t eat humans, but it’s still terrifying since they might attack you.
I've noticed that anything and everything gets creepier the deeper you go, not just sharks.
Exactly right! I have videos discussing many other taxonomic groups in the deep sea as well as this ;)
That includes the internet and UA-cam haha
Was looking for this comment. The deeper you go, the scarier everything is
Is it actually creepier, or are you just used to your environment and creatures, and not to the environment and creatures that live in the deep? It's just different, just like we would be to them if they ever saw us.
...and uglier.

Evolution was like:
lmao we’re running low on money we can’t hire another designer just ask that 8 year old to draw a shark.
I've always thought of it more along the lines of evolution saying, "Yep, these are good. No changes necessary. They'll be able to hang in there for Ages."
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!! Very clever!
😂😂😂
😂
🤣🤣
This is just fascinating. I recently studied a bit about the chambered nautilus, which is how I found this video. Thanks for this!
After having fallen down the rabbit hole of shark videos, I'm incredibly happy that I found this one specifically
Oh wow thank you that’s huge!! 😅 there’s a lot of crappy ‘MEGALODON CONFIRMED’ vids out there so im really glad you found my film! Any others you’ve seen that you’d reccomend? (I’m a massive shark nerd!)
Just to clarify, some sharks haven't changed much in a couple of hundred million years. But they are not less evolved. Their adaptations haven't had a big effect on how they look.
what kinds of adaptations then?
@@mattiea871
"what kinds of adaptations then?"
I think you miss the point. You can have two species that have both existed for a long time and have gone through the same number of generations. One might look very different now than they did 100 million years ago, while another one possibly hasn't changed very much.
They have both had the same time to evolve. Neither is more or less evolved. It would seem that sharks haven't changed much because mutations aren't giving them any advantages.
We don't knw what is beyond it what other spieces or down there
I'm not trying to be mean but you use effects instead of affect here. Just in case you use it again in the future.
@@Lilyium Yup. Changed it. Thanks.

Thank you. Very much appreciate learning about the creatures of the seas.
@ 8:19 "sharks of the shallows" sounds like a band
The deep sea has always fascinated me. Ever since I was young, I've loved hearing about these strange alien creatures that live far, far underwater in places very little humans have ever even been to. Undeniably, many of the creatures are scary looking, but the fact that they exist is enough of a reason for me to be interested in them.
Nature is an incredible thing.
How about the strange alien creatures that live in deep space.
@@stephenblack5425 Aliens are something else. The likelihood of them existing is very high, and my main reasoning for that is the fact that we exist. If we exist, other sentient life has to as well, right? There are billions and billions of planets, after all.
You just keep spitting facts! Amen to you 🙏
I'm creeped out by the ocean. There's lots of unknown shit living in its depths. I agree tho, it's fascinating seeing the crazy stuff we find out about it and the things living in it.

@@envyhysteria flash animations from newgrounds were great. I remember being scared by a different one yet very disturbing animation.
Top notch commentary, footage, music, and voice.
Quite interesting. I enjoyed the voice over. Thanks.
I wouldn't call those deep-sea sharks (the living fossils) "less evolved." Rather, their bodies are so dialed-in to the environment they live in that most changes would cause them to be less suited to survive. In other words, you evolve to meet the demands of the environment. They're already perfectly evolved for where they live. One might even say that they're more highly-evolved than the surface sharks.
I think ‘deep-sea being “less evolved”’ as well as ‘“more highly evolved” than the surface sharks’ are both superfluous concepts in this analysis.
Both are alive today, one may have had to make more adjustments to their environment than the other. Both are specifically attuned to their environments. One possibly lives in an environment that demands genetic change more so than the other.
There is no ‘competition’ to label either as “less” or “more”, they both continue to survive where they are, and both would die if they were switched.
I would presume he means less evolved as in “literally has gone through less changes.” Of course this just means that they reached their perfect evolution for their environment sooner. Neither is “better” or “worse”
Dcft
NaW LP Slash sure. This reminds me of the whole “let’s eat grandma”/ “let’s eat, grandma” thing
@@ahumanaperson actually thats sort of a wrong use of the "evolve" word in science, being evolved has nothing to do with better or worse, is just about how much of mutations an individual suffered through the years, deep seas creatures are less evolved cuz the deep sea is an ancient part of the world, where the changes causes by humans were significant less when u compare it to the surface, so those animals did not have to go through the same natural selection as surface beings, thats why they're less evolved
Imagine a 500 year old creature that is living today... to them the world is exactly the same as the day they were born, except some extra human debris floating by - while for humans it’s unrecognizable how drastically we changed our surroundings in that time.
If never seen anything humans make go so deep, including trash.

Gentle trance dance party as we learn? Yes please 🙏😍🙌☺
Yes. Not to mention im high asf. This is amazing right now.
I believe that the word “creepy” could be subjective. The human mind tends to feel more comfortable with what it see most often, and usually has a hard time accepting what’s new. My theory is that if the deep sea sharks lurked above and were discovered earlier, we wouldn’t exactly say they’re creepy.
We would just say they look disgusting or weird
imagine seen a gorilla for the first time as an adult you gonna freak out like you saw bigfoot but we used to it !!
I think the way in which mean "creepy" also has to do with the fact that the deep sea sharks are less "symmetrical" then the ones above. Like, the ones below almost seem deformed, but thats because in comparison with a shark from above, that have a very clean and streamline body, it's easy to come to that understanding
Yes definitely and we have more to learn about these sharks
True fact
It’s AMAZING to think about how there’s an entire world of different creatures below us under the soil-countless miles of uncharted deep-sea lands, with entire communities and animal civilizations living day-to-day, yet whom we barely think about, and who themselves have little to no idea what we’re doing here above (except sadly destroying their environment). I imagine it’s like there being a different type of creature living on the clouds, with entire societies above us who live in the sky. The example is somewhat the same. It’s two worlds so close to each other, yet somehow so far apart. Sea-life is amazing. So mysterious. So cool.
Absolutely beautiful work. Thank you.

There's a theory that length of life is connected to heartbeat rate.

A mouse has a relatively short life because it's heart beats quickly.

I recently saw the catshark in an old episode of Law of the Jungle (a Korean survival show). The cast members were fishing for food in the ocean, and one of them managed to catch a catshark (which they released later). I thought the shark was very strange looking with its rock-like body and pattern. Now that I know catsharks mainly live in the deep, I wonder what it was doing when it got caught at the surface.
Probably came to shallow waters to die. That’s what deep sea fish do when their dying. Because they feel vulnerable they seek safe shallow waters where there’s less or no predators…
@@matty6848 I never knew that wowwww

@Natalie yeh it is sad but most sea species do it including whales and Dolphins etc. they’ll seek warm shallow waters almost like a comfort blanket for them as it’s safe for them if they feel sick. Think about it if you were a fish that’s sick and not up too swimming fast and dodging predators where do you go? You seek rock pools or beach shallow waters where your safe and can’t be got at.

Man if you were the zoology lecturer in my college I won't miss a class.

The parasites seen on those frilled sharks give me nightmares.
These type of parasites are also present in pelagic sharks (se photos dorsal fins of Mako shark and you will see that these crustaceans and really present. For the Somniosus it is serious because the parasite could render him blind. But Somniosus use more his lorenzini organs and his exceptional nose to find preys or carrion.
500 years tho, dude, bro is old. And it’s crazy that they can live that long. Don’t forget about the fact that we know more about the universe than we know about our own oceans. Usually I don’t really care about all that smart stuff but, I found this to be really interesting. Man, if u really just take a minute and think about it, nature is so cool. I’ve always loved camping, kayaking, hunting, and fishing and nature in general.
To think, without the technology we're able to make and use, we'd probably never see any of this.
Bioluminescent Sharks be like "Im just built different"
Like Squalo's sexuality too(not an insult)
Please make a video on diel vertical migration. I would love to watch it. This channel is a gem.
