Sharks: * are actually really friendly and nice but get done so dirty by pop culture/associated with death so people think they're evil and scary when they're not *
Dolphins: * YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW (but if you watch this channel then you probably already know) what they do to other dolphins... or unfortunate divers who catch their attention... or live and wriggling eels... or decapitated fish corpses... And yet pop culture loves them *
Poseidon: ...Great. I finally move out and get my own place, and the creatures here are basically my brothers...
EDIT: I know Hades is nice but represented badly in pop culture and the media. That's why I started with the part about sharks, who are also nice but represented badly in pop culture and the media. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad to see people defending Hades, but you're preaching to the choir.

I dunno it seems like paradise in comparision. I mean tell me would you rather watch big squid fight big whale all day or watch some boring humans complaining about their life ?
when I was a kid, they used to tell me that fearing deep sea creatures was stupid.
Casual Geo made me realize it's actually not so stupid
Those who say that are ignorant and will meet a dire end FEAR THE DEEP SEA
One thing to remember is that a lot of animals living super deep in the ocean are almost never any real threat to a human. When things like those weird squids or fish come close to the surface, their bodies fall apart from the pressure difference.
no way Cody SF4 on UA-cam
It is stupid, because you’ll literally never see or interact with them. That’s why.
you could panic and drown or outright get a heart attack when you meet cthulhu on his way out.
It's crazy how alien these creatures look. Makes you really understand just how different the environment is down there, where these body designs would be the best fit, something that would never succeed anywhere close to the surface.
I'm with Lindsay in that I think pretty much all of these creatures are fascinating in how they've evolved to adapt to such an intensely harsh environment. Yeah, I wouldn't like to come face to face with them down in the ocean, but I love learning about them! They're so neat!
For anyone curious about the angler fish mating, first of all, horror warning.
Secondly, the male angler fish are much smaller and lack any of the attributes that help their female counterparts hunt (light, powerful jaw, sheer size ect. ). So their only chance at survival is finding a female.
Once they do, they give her a hickey and just don't let go. Somehow, rather than destroying the invader, the females immune system accepts the male into her body.
After this, the males jaw melts and he becomes completely merged with the females body, he then gradually starts to shrivel up in order to remove all non essential organs. Eventually, he is fully integrated into the female and survives directly from her blood flow, like any other of her organs.
There can also be multiple males attached to a single female.
So yeah, male angler fish are essentially just the testicle DLC for the females.
That's enough learning for today
This weirdly wasn't disturbing to me when I first found out about it.
A literal hermaphrodite, huh.
probably the most disturbing fact I've ever heard about a fish
Testicle DLC. Now that's poetry!
I never get tired of actual marine biologists bullying this animal 😭
You'll either see them roasting the shit put of them or absolutely stanning them and willing to die on a hill.

Omg, this comment just made me cry 😭😭😭
I just taught my 10 year old about him!
This comment is so wholesome 🥺
A close friend of mine was an ex Navy diver. He told me that him and his fellow divers always hated night dives. The ocean looks like a vast infinite pool of black ink. Its a cold, deep, dark abyss. The only thing they ever look forward is ending their dives, resurfacing, hauling onboard the ship, taking off their diving gear and wet suits, and finally heading to the hot shower. The hot shower is probably the only place that feels like it can wash away the night diving experience. Even experienced Navy divers would shudder after coming up after a night dive.
Did he ever see anything crazy
It’s tough working in the dark.
@@Whosetheyoutubewarrior "This one time I saw a shadow, I think."
@@poppachoppa8956 😂😂
Isnt the pressure too high for people to go down there?? I thought only robots and other shiz can go there
When I was a kid, I was really really into deep sea animals (I still am.) I actually recognized a lot of these critters, thank you for making a video about them!
I think this is the first time I’ve ever seen someone talk about the praya dubia on UA-cam. It’s so eerie but cool! IIRC, their hunting strategy is basically acting like a sideways jellyfish - they take advantage of their long length by deploying a curtain of stingers below them.
A couple random facts:
1. The Siphonophore at 6:37 is called the Flying Spaghetti Monster, after the satirical deity it resembles.
2. There is a squid bigger than the giant squid; it's known as the colossal squid. They're also probably eaten by sleeper sharks.
3. Speaking of sleeper sharks (which are harmless and, despite the toxins in their flesh, are even eaten in Iceland), the lifespan of one species known as the Greenland shark has the longest known lifespan of any vertebrate, estimated to be between 250 and 500 years and can take 150 years to reach maturity. This means that a Greenland shark born during the American Civil War is still too young to reproduce.
4. Giant isopods are part of the same group as woodlice. They also bite.
5. There are 2 species of frilled shark: the frilled shark and the South African frilled shark.
6. Bobtail squid, including the stubby squid, are their own separate group of cephalopods.
7. Dumbo octopi have a cuter cousin (well, more like second cousin or first cousin once removed) in the form of the flapjack octopus (not that dumbo octopi aren't necessarily cute, they just don't completely meet my standards of cuteness).
8. There is a fish with an actual, fully developed dong on its head. Its called Phallostethus cuulong.
So your saying the believers of a satarical deity are the first to prove their gods existence. I guess God has humour...
What's even more upsetting about humboldts is that they're just as clever as many other cephalopods. A humboldt squid once tried to physically pry the mask off a diver in order to drown him.
hell naw💀
They weren't sure of the actual intention of the squid going after the mask. Though they are smart, I don't think it knew if it removed the mask, he wouldn't be able to breathe. There is speculation that it saw its reflection and was attempting to attack the mask out of confusion. It is true that multiple squids were dragging him down, and after hearing Humboldt squids use that as a hunting tactic, it is absolutely horrifying to think they were doing just that.
I like Humboldts. They're just marine wolves in big packs.
D:
Ooh, smart boi-oh...
A bit further explanation on the Anglerfish reproduction: All the ones seen in the images are females and the males are much smaller. They fuse with the much larger females and eventually degrade to the point where they are essentially just organs for the female. They can also have multiple males attached at a time. Edit: Ma look! My first ever comment is famous!
Even more detail: They bite into the female's belly and act as a parasite, draining her resources. Then their muscles slowly atrophy. As naturalist William Beebe put it, “To be driven by impelling odor headlong upon a mate so gigantic, in such immense and forbidding darkness, and willfully eat a hole in her soft side, to feel the gradually increasing transfusion of her blood through one’s veins, to lose everything that marked one as other than a worm, to become a brainless, senseless thing that was a fish-this is sheer fiction, beyond all belief unless we have seen the proof of it.” They were originally thought to be a different species entirely, the male anglerfish.

I love the fact you used the Deep Dark Galaxy theme in this.
For anyone wondering about anglerfish mating, I’ll break it down; the fish you recognize as anglerfish are all female anglerfish. Male anglerfish are tiny and look like minnows or tadpoles. The males are born and swim around until they find an adult female (~100x larger than the male) and bite onto her side. Their jaws lock and the upper half of their tiny minnow bodies, including their brains, dissolve and fuse with the female’s body, leaving only a little tail sticking out of the female. The male’s reproductive organs stay intact, and the female then fertilizes herself with them when conditions are right for making eggs.
The males literally only exist to sacrifice themselves to females. They’re like sperm-shaped fish full of fish sperm and not much else.
And people ask "What is the meaning of our exitence?"
Be glad, you don't have the answer💀
Sounds like a feminist's dream
@@kojiyaw facts.

Summed up my marriage...
I think the scariest thing is that all of these creatures live their lives in complete darkness most of the time and imagining being alone in the complete dark, bumping into literally anything and trying to swim up or down and not knowing which direction is the surface.
I'd imagine it'd be remarkably peaceful, like living without an internet connection.

Thank you for the spider warning, but my dumb ass wasn't quick enough to react.
Honestly the fact that Animal Crossing made half the creatures in this video a) obtainable by fishing with a fishing rod or literally diving down into the ocean and b) really cute suddenly has me rethinking why I have them in my aquarium/museum on the island now 😂 my AC avatar has no idea the danger she’s in
I’m not in danger, *I AM THE DANGER*
LOL.
At this point I wouldn't be surprised if Cthulhu was actually real, and was just hiding in the deep sea. Wouldn't even be the strangest thing down there.
Plottwist: Cthullu is not even sleeping, it is just so that whenever he wants to go out of R´lyeh, he discovers a new animal and is like: "Ew, nasty. let´s just wait a few more eons!" and walks back into his safe albeit eldritch resting place.
@@takayamuramoto4490 I don't know why but I like watching videos of black men shaking their booty cheeks.

Cthulhu is probably not discovered because some natural sea life is keeping him in check.
Cthulu just down there makin more creepy babies so that no one finds him.
Also yeti crabs.

Man I love the ocean. All these critters are so cool looking. This vid is giving me the motivation to get through the lab report I have due. The "horrors of the deep" Are exactly what I want to study, they're just so cool and goofy looking.
To me giant isopods are essentially really big roly polies, I already love them.... so I think I'd adore time with an isopod.
"Id rather eat 10 pounds of Popeyes biscuits with no drink than ever go out in the ocean" this is the most relatable thing I have heard in my life
Same
Until recently, it was thought the Magnapinna/Big Fin squid's tentacles worked similarly to a jellyfish's, that they just dangled until something touched them, which was then reeled up. Then, one was filmed going after a flashing infrared lure (which mimics biolumenescent prey items) mounted on a submersible, and it was discovered the tentacles are in fact like normal squid tentacles, which is to say, prehensile. In the video, they *SHOOT* into frame like snakes striking, grasping the lure the way you would expect ANY squid to grab its food, except, you couldn't see the rest of the squid immediately, just the tentacles emerging from the darkness like blind demon eels. It is DEEPLY disturbing footage. If you're a squishy protein source floating about in the stygian, you might not ever see your killer before it has already caught you.

Small tangents, Giant Isopods are friendly, live a long time, don't need much food(aside from doritos), can chill outside of water for a bit, and are actually very popular pets in Japan. I am terrified of buggy-looking crustaceans, but I quite like the Isopod.
Also, all the mentions of Isopod, Spider Crabs, and Oarfish made me itch to play Animal Crossing again lol

Very insightful and informative, Great video 👍👍
So a few things I'd like to add/mention:
* Sea cucumber is also a delicacy like the hagfish, and also features pretty prominently in Asian cooking, such as Japanese cuisine. In fact, the exterior of the sea cucumber and the interior are considered separate kinds of food with their own unique dishes in Japan, a bit like the cuts of meat at butcher's. Sea cucumbers can also move great distances by filling their bodies with water and inflating themselves until they are neutrally buoyant, catching the currents and tumbling through the water until they decide they've had enough of the tumbleweed act. Because I guess sea cucumbers just felt they had to tick off all the weird-as-hell boxes.
* Pacific sleeper sharks are actually hella scary for more than just their presence on volcano stages. The longest ever recorded was 14 feet long, but some scientists think they could grow up to lengths of upwards of 23 feet long, which would put them in the same length ball park as the great white. They are also extremely stealthy, capable of gliding through the water without much in the way of body movement, making them absurdly quiet. They mostly subsist on crustaceans and octopi, using suction to swallow their prey whole in one go, but have also been known to eat harbor porpoises and might also prey on juvenile sea lions. So, y'know, just imagine what this thing is up to, ninja-voring victims whose only idea of the sleeper shark's presence is suddenly flying into a 14-foot long shadow's jaws, then add that they aren't confined to the deep ocean like most of the rest of these guys and do hunt for prey at or near the surface. Oh, and pictures of them are often used for "images of deep sea Megalodon" hoaxes, so y'know, if that gives you any further idea as to how terrifying these things are.
* The stoplight loosejaw is not only unique in that it uses red light to hunt prey, but in order to see that red light, it processes a derivative of chlorophyll in its eyes, making it the only vertebrate animal known that is capable of processing chlorophyll in its body. The chlorophyll derivative acts as an enhancing photosensitizer, allowing it to absorb long wavelength light that lets it perceive the color red. It does not produce this chlorophyll naturally, however, and is believed to harvest it from the copepods it preys on who use it to get that red coloration. Basically, they turn their prey's camouflage on them by stealing what makes it possible and using it to see even more copepods. Sort of a weird version of 'you are what you eat', I guess.
can confirm sea cucumbers are a cuisine, they do taste good. there are cultures that think it's medicinal and somehow make them as ointments too
I've eaten sea cucumber. It's an interesting texture, but I don't find much to like about the taste. It's not bad, just not good.
Y'all commenting on the sea cukes and failing to mention how cool OP's comments on an animal using chlorophyll is. That's truly amazing and terrifying!
I know this is true, but I don’t like it
I like sea bunny’s and they are sea cucumbers
Love the flavor but hate the texture. It's always a dilemma whether to eat it or not.
I can't help being impressed at how Lindsay turns "ocean" into a spondee and "crustacean" into a molossus. Amazing.
I looked up and learned a word today - spondee.
Also, the way she said ocean made me hear "oh shit", which is exactly how the ocean should be described on this channel.
What is a molossus, though? I looked it up but didn't find something relevant.
@@wanderlustwarrior I had to look things up to remind myself of the specific terms, but I knew _what_ to look up (poetic feet). Apparently a molossus is a foot consisting of three stressed syllables (or three long syllables in Greek/Latin poetry).
@@apm77 I don't even know what a "foot" is in the poetic/linguistic sense.
@@wanderlustwarrior The basic unit of measurement of accentual-syllabic meter. A foot usually contains one stressed syllable and at least one unstressed syllable. The standard types of feet in English poetry are the iamb, trochee, dactyl, anapest, spondee, and pyrrhic (two unstressed syllables).
In layman’s terms; how you measure rhymes in the same way syllables are used to measure spoken words. I’ve had very little knowledge on this myself before semi rabbit-holing on your behalf, but it seems like feet and syllables go hand in hand.
@@jalen2024 thanks. I've heard of iambic and dactylic poetry before, but not the word foot/feet in this context.
It doesn’t help that whenever you’re in the ocean and you look down and stare into the bottomless black, you can’t help but imagine what could REALLY be lurking down there especially since we only explored 5% of our oceans
This is some of the best narration I've seen on the internet.

@@thecatladytm7172 Glad to find a fellow Wild Kratts enjoyer. I used to watch the heck out of that show when I was younger and vividly remember most of what happened during the sperm whale/giant squid episode, which also slightly terrified me as a child.
0:16 Not even twenty seconds in and he calls out one of the stupidest and most common nature conspiracies.
I respect this man deeply.
Yeah never made sense to
Would be cool though
@@gibio396 no it wouldn't
@@mediocri5y why not ?
I mean a massive shark is always gonna be cool imo
@@gibio396 How…would that be cool???
Yeah, at first I believed it then I thought for a second and was like: “What? How is that possible???”
I know this is an older video but I just wanna say thank you for putting up the spider warning. I have CRIPPLING arachnophobia so the warning helped me shield my eyes before I saw it on screen.
you have scared me and given me new nightmares
you have a new subcriber.
“Many say that this is a face only a mother could love , well then maybe he is my son.” Is the quote I am going to use for the rest of my life
No, it was more like "well then maybe he.is.mY.SON", and that totally caught me off guard lololololololol
Nothing is more Lovecraftian than the deep sea itself.
I mean that makes sense, considering he was horrified of the ocean. ( Well he was scared of everything, but even more so the ocean)
@@hugothegiant5869 He was scared of the ocean because it was full of black people from all the atlantic slave trade cargo lost to sea
Arguably his books are even more so.
@@Mae_Dastardly bro the deep ocean is pure black because of the "no light allowed", make sense for lovecraft to hate it
Drown in the deep or rise from it
Here from a video of an expert reacting to your video but they kept talking over your jokes, so i wanted to hear your video for myself!
Honestly, I almost never enjoy shout outs... Like the peeps don't tend to be 'bad' but don't usually interest me. However I LOVE this Lindsey shout out... I've become a big fan. So thanks to this vid inparticular 🎉 for giving me a new great channel
The fact that he and Lindsay even collaborated in the first place makes me MASSIVELY happy to be alive
Makes me massively happy to be alive and not in the ocean.
yea fr
they do this all the time on tiktok
I always thought they were the same person
Let’s face it, there was no way this collab would’ve been complete without mentioning the telescopefish
Amazing video! I would also like to note that I screamed as loud as possible when Lindsay appeared LMAO
I gotta say "Many say this is a face only a mother could love, well then maybe he is my son." is probably the best line I've heard like...ever.
"...we seem to have a habit of constantly trying to eat all the things Nature went out of its way to tell us not to." This line made me actually choke on my laughter.
Well that was freaky… I read this comment at the exact moment I hit that part of the video. 😵💫
The most tamed version of this is probably chilly peppers. They burn our mouths and we love it
@@fatimahmakgatho8968 yep...and yet we keep trying to engineer even hotter shit...just why do we want to eat shit that might as well kill us it is that hot lmao TwT
so, don't eat laughter?
All thanks to the Chinese.
The Barreleye fish defies reality with how odd it is!
This is the type of video i want to watch at 3AM in the morning
We forgot to mention the Giant Squid’s arguably more terrifying cousin, the Colossal Squid. We’ve only ever found one example. It has shorter tentacles than the Giant Squid, but it’s got a much heavier, much denser and far larger bell, assumed to be for the purpose of tanking in combat. And the one we found was a juvenile, so we don’t actually know what an adult Colossal Squid looks like, or how much bigger it is than a juvie.
And we used to think the Kraken was a myth...
Are you saying we possibly found the real Kraken?
I've seen that squid, it's on display at a museum here in new zealand and is awesome af. Oh, and it has naturally occurring swivel hooks on it's tentacles.
Didn’t we find more examplars of colossal squid? Like six?
@@jakobrenner2230 potentially bro! I hope the squids are doing okay with us poisoning the oceans and whatnot...
Those Humboldt Squid are kinda like us. Hyper-social predators who have complex modes of communication, and are probably very intelligent. I guess that's why we fear them so much.
We fear them so much for good reason... we are on the menu and they hunt in ridiculously huge packs.
@@fiberpoet6250
Even if they did try to eat us, their beaks probably wouldn't even get a good chunk out anyways (I wouldn't be surprised that most professional divers that come in contact with humboldt squid are usually wearing chain-mesh suits, similar to when divers interact with most shark species).
I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of humboldt squid would either be curious about us (because of how intelligent they are), and/or trying to chase us away from their territory (hence their aggressiveness). ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I wouldn't be surprised if that's part of why we fear them. Kinda like how dolphins and orcas have been loosing popularity contests to humans lately, people seem to be projecting a lot of anthropomorphism on these creatures when we hear they're intelligent in similar ways to us (and, unfortunately, may be projecting morality on animals that are intelligent enough to be somewhat complex, but not complex enough to form the same kind of morality thinking that humans do).
Jane e tend to jot like predators like that. Another example is wolves.
Personally, I see the opposite.
When a group of animals are intelligent to communicate and coordinate, this means they can be taught.
Kinda like how we bred dogs into faithful companions.
Given enough time and effort, we could do the same to the squid.
So informative and yet so entertaining! I can't stop laughing! this is how I like to learn things.
I am just more scared to want to swim or even go in the ocean after this video. Holy shit these creatures or really enormous. Love your podcast it’s amazing the things we don’t know about
I remember hearing a story about a diver that got attacked by a group of squid.
He thought it was harmless at first but one of them latched onto his mask while the rest swarmed him and started dragging him down.
I remember him surviving (he retold the story in an interview) I just don't remember how or who he is.
Needless to say it adds to my internal horror debate of which is worse: being eaten alive by a giant thing or by multiple small things?
Were they humboldt squid? Humboldt squid are famous for being really aggressive.
I remember that video! (Just not what it's called, lol. I think it was from nat geo or Animal planet or something)
I wrote a short horror story for college inspired in part by that video
Update: Pretty sure it's "Diver Pulled Under By Squids | Man-Eating Super Squid" uploaded by animal planet 10 years ago. It's 3 minutes and 35 seconds long and the thumbnail is a squid attacking(?) the camera
@@spitefulchandelierriver monsters
@@Scarshadow666Yeah, it was a swarm of those bastards, lol
The best thing about the deep ocean is that you can't accidentally find yourself there. Also, it seems very reasonable to have deep existential dread about the unknown abyss. It is wild tho: mountain above sea level are the happiest places on earth, at least at breathable altitudes, whereas mountain ranges underwater are wildly terrifying.
Slightly unrelated, but I've always found the empty sea to be terrifying in Minecraft. Before it was updated, seeing misty blue and piles if sand just gave me existential dread lmao. It didn't help that ocean monuments were so rare to find. One of my first worlds had one near shore, so it wasn't so surprising. I wanted to make it my base.
Seeing the desolate ocean through a haze and then finding an imposing, seemingly religious stronghold would scare my little self and I would only play in creative mode!
In real life, I don't think I fear the sea, but I definitely would if I were alone and not close to land. I can't swim lol or see well underwater, so that would be a death sentence. What more if I encountered a territorial or curious animal?
I see the word terrifying get used a lot, it's still good to remember these are sentient animals, a lot of them extremely intelligent, and will usually not bother you unless you come into their living environment.
It's not that surprising when you consider your body is being pressed down by the weight of god knows how many litres of water above.
It's so calming to listen to this while doing homework🥰🥰
The bone fish enemies in New Super Mario Bros is called the fishbone. Mario Galaxy has a skeleton shark as a boss called Bonefin
I like how each thumbnail is just getting progressively more disturbing. I hope this continues.
Welp, ya weren't wrong
He's become obsessed with creeping the audience right off the bat. Works too, because it draws the eye and makes the thumbnail pretty unforgettable.
That’s the shark from shark tale
The thumbnail shark is clearly British
Not sure if it's covered in the video (commenting mid intro) so forgive me if I tell you smth you already know, but I'm pretty sure that was the shark statue that was used in a short film, then thrown into the ocean. So someone made a shark statue for a film, intentionally making it look freaky, then just threw it into the ocean for some poor diver to come across eventually
I used to be pretty “meh” about the ocean, playing Subnautica cured me of that
Lol

@@hunty.0 he just wants a hug
You couldn’t tell me that’s not a horror game
I am actually glad you had brought up Frilled Sharks! I will reassure everyone who is reading, they are found at depths of 800, to even deeper. And you should be pretty glad they’re harmless, because they have 300 teeth.😅
man this is why i subbed to this channel!
The deep sea has to be my favourite nightmare on this planet
17:51 this feels like the equivalent of aliens laughing at you while you’re petrified in fear.
Maybe to aliens we look like fictional bad guys, but the fun kooky kind. Wouldn't mind
He looks so silly!!! I love him so much
