It's also vision. We rely on our sight every day and can see things that are really far away, not in detail but we can see them moving around. In the ocean that shit doesn't work and something that's merely 50 feet away is basically invisible to us unless the water is like crystal clear, which the ocean isn't.
The fact that the largest marine animals are harmless filter feeders is a testament to how docile the oceans are nowadays. Up until a few million years ago, enormous macropredators were the top of the food chain.
the modern Orca is in theory an extremely scary predator. Theyre agile, big, extremely intelligent and hunt in big packs. Were just lucky they dont hunt humans at all. Sperm whales are also insanely adapted predators. Massive, intelligent, can kill you without even touching you (they can use sound pressure waves as a weapon), but also dont hunt us at all
It's fascinating despite how huge animals and sea monsters have came and gone from earth, we get to witness the biggest one of them ever in real time while living in same era as them, blue whales deserve more appreciation
Wait, 150 feet deep? That's well within the sunlight zone, which means sunlight likely hit the bottom of the seaway in most areas. This place would have been incredibly diverse, not to mention vibrant with plants and corals. It would have been glorious!
“So why is this sea more deadly than the others? It’s because there’s not just one predator here, there’s a whole suite of them. There’s frightening Sharks, terrifying sea Reptiles, even the Fish in here you couldn’t imagine them in your worst nightmares, I call this Hell’s Aquarium, it’s so jam packed with killers.” ~ Nigel Marven
I'm a horror junkie too and I even watch Asian horror movies which are arguably even scarier but Subnautica literally traumatised me from venturing out beyond the shallows, heck when I was headed to the spaceship, I was so scared of the Reaper
The first playthrough can be intimidating for sure. I'll never forget it. Keep at it though and eventually you'll be piloting a prawn suit and grappling-hook-riding leviathans drilling them to death lol.
Lol i am scared of water. Cuz i cant swim. I felt great unease when i landed on a planet in No Mans Sky which is 95% water. and my first 1hr in subnautica i got shit scared - not just the sea but the scary sounds inside.
The Apalachian trail is infamous for people disappearing in very unusual ways and are never heard from again. Look up "Missing 411 - David Paulides". He wrote a book on the strange disappearances of many people and how unnerving the circumstances are. Just vanishing without a trace, then some being found in the same spot that the search and rescue moved through multiple times.
Exactly right^ Mike Phelps or someone like that, could perhaps swim fast enough to reach safety before being munched. That's assuming the safety is somewhat close by, if it was more than a couple Olympic pools in length, even he would gas out
No, the fastest human is very slow compared to almost any aquatic animal. We suck in the water. We are faster than shrimp, kelp, and jellyfish and that is about it.
That "Swimming with Sea Monsters" show was so amazing. I turned on the TV one day, and it happened to be on and with no context, I was staring at this giant monster fish and thinking: "Did we find a new kind of giant fish?!

@theucheao but perhaps with the concept of convergent evolution, there could be recurring body plans I for one, think the shark body plan is probably out there in the cosmos
Of course they exist, there’s no doubt about it. The people who discuss the plausibility of it, are really doing nuanced scientific analysis… in layman’s view, there’s no doubt about it at all. The impossible thing is finding it, we live in a prison of time.

Appalachia is a mountain range that spans from New York to Alabama/Georgia/Mississippi. There are many towns and cities in Appalachia. Most of WV is in Appalachia, and it has a population of 1.7 million. Horror movies are not always reality, it's not some desolated woodland where you'll get lost and never return. There's not cannibalistic hillbillies waiting in the woods to drag you off, or some uncharted settlement of psychopathic murderers. Please come to reality for 2 seconds before typing. It's also clear that you don't really know what you're talking about because the only continent ever named Appalachia was the one that existed literally hundreds of millions of years ago, before humans were even on the planet. Appalachian landmass doesn't even exist anymore.
@justakettlehelm1673 I figured since this was a typical science channel that most people would already be somewhat aware that Appalachia is not a free standing continent of Eldritch horrors. Most of what you said besides that hysterical digression about halfway through is valid. All that being said, I'm from WV, and it was a joke. Sorry to have emotionally disrupted your day on UA-cam. I hope you can recover 😂
@Lintshri you're absolutely correct. What I meant to be a joke, about my state of origin (West Virginia) apparently drove some people (see kettlehelms comment) into literal fits of hand wringing and hysterical protest. Having grown up there, don't be a dummy is literally the best advice. It's not more dangerous than many places I've lived and safer than many others as long as you have common sense.
The reason why the sea is so terrifying because you can barley see ahead of you cause the water is so dark. There's nothing in front of you but there's a chance there is something behind you and the moment you turn around it's too late and the slightly blue water turns red...
Don't forget that you can be taken out from ANY angle, and you can't watch all of those at once. Oh, and certain sharks can detect the rhythm of your heartbeat from up to a mile away. That's where the smelling fear myth comes from.
Ngl a horror game themed on these will go hard, i mean if you remember watching Sea Monsters series the ending scene when researcher boat get surrounded by a pack of mosasaurus then the plot continue from there
The fish within a fish fossil is at the Sternberg Museum in Hays Kansas. It's our local museum and we love it. If you're local, or passing by and want something for the kids to do, it's awesome. It's always super clean and quiet, has cool displays and a big play room. That X-fish fossil was cut in half, then moved by 1930s chevy truck and about 8 overall wearing farmers.

1:34 my home is right in the middle of the inland sea! As a kid we’d find fossils all the time but had no idea, I still can’t believe what I thought was the gross imprint of bugs in rocks were prehistoric fossils. But ewww those coiled prehistoric primordial life forms still give me the ick.
We will get Walking with Dinosaurs sequel next year. I hope that we will see a return of Prehistoric Park too. I love Nigel Marvin and his series very much :)
These eras span millions of years. For context the oldest cave paintings are approximately 51,200 years old Modern Humans have not existed for even a quarter of the amount of time a single one of these prehistoric epochs existed.
"Modern" humans, an important word there. We, well, our ancestors have been living quite a while, probably all the times along with dinosaurs, all the time to the 1st complex organic compounds/arrangements that survived. To be exact, there are no humans. It'd be like calling a human who lived at some point, its parents, not humans, then it suddenly a human, for some ancestor. Imagine doing that to you, lol! Human is merely artificial classification, boundary drawn. It doesn't really exist outside of our imagination. It's slight changes with each next generation. No sudden shift.
That’s what you think. Modern humans are older than most seem to grasp. Several iterations have achieved, then died, and back to the Stone Age to start again. Rinse, repeat, and you end up with our current civilization.
I’m almost finished with my degree in geology and ecology :) keep hold of that passion! I’m so glad to know there’s a lot of people out there who are fascinated by the same stuff 🖤 good luck!!
Me (a person that has mild thalassophobia): *sees a video entitled This Prehistoric Ocean was Thalassophobia on Steroids* “oh, cool lets watch this video”
I wish we could see what things were like through out different prehistoric era's. To just see how different creatures behaved would be one of the most amazing things ever. I wish people would make video games that let us explore prehistoric oceans or on land, it could be one of those horror games that is scary solely based off of it's setting and subject. Like how subnatica is eerie because just the act of being underwater is eerie enough on it's own
About 12 years ago, when I was about 5, I was on a friend’s boat and we were in the Gulf Stream coming off the coast of south Florida. I jumped in the water to cool off and we saw a giant fin not too far away. I got pulled into the boat and we drove over to the animal. It happened to not be a shark, but something much better; a mola mola, also known as an ocean sunfish. It’s a fish that looks like just a head. It’s also had a remora on its belly for good measure.
Hey, I am working at the museum which houses the largest specimen of Parapuzosia seppenradensis (seen at 15:00), and we just started working on the most recent reconstruction. The size estimetes over 2 m in diameter are most probably exaggerations.
Born and raised in Colorado, this inland sea has always fascinated me!! The mountains and rocks just have a very unique beauty to me, maybe cause I find so many with small, ancient aquatic fossils!
I think the biggest scare for most people with thalasaphobia is the fear of the unknown. We've still only discovered less than 5% of the world's ocean waters. For reference, we discovered more of space than our own ocean. Scientifically speaking, we can't confirm or deny everything that's down there, and that sends chills down my spine.
You should really credit the animator "Dead Sound" in your videos or in the description of your videos, his work is so distinct and beautiful For anyone wondering, Dead Sound is his UA-cam channel, where he has an amazing list of videos and a series called "Dinosauria" to watch!
As someone who lives in South Mississippi, I think you ruined my night by showing me this graph at 1:34. Is that why Mississippi is so flat?? I live at the bottom of an ocean that once was. I'm so over it already but I'm gonna watch this whole video
Nigel Marven wasn’t lying when he called it “Hells Aquarium” 3:03 I just watched this clip yesterday 😭 he’s just a lil guy! 21:22 Xiphactinus honestly looks like something Jeremy Wade would go fishing for. They’re absolutely gorgeous.
My mind is really having an internal fight here as my curiosity of prehistoric creatures in general is battling with my raging thalassophobia/aquaphobia. I want to learn about stuff, but goddamn I cannot look at most of this. Curse my brain!
Being eaten alive I'm sure is equally terrifying either on land or in the waters. The only comfort is knowing the sheer size of these mouths and teeth increased the chances of instant death for hominids 5 feet and shorter. I'd rather be eaten by any of these prehistoric creatures than a modern day lion, tiger or bear. There's always the chance of instant death, but it seems bleeding out while having your flesh ripped off your body seems more likely.
Someone mentioning the childhood-defining docu-fiction-series that is Nigel Marven in Sea Monsters is so wild bc I swear no one else ever saw it but me
20:16 this jaw is not from a tiger shark (Galeocerdo cuvier), but from a sand tiger shark (Carcharias taurus), which, despite the name, is not closely related and ecologically very different.
I once found an ammonite shell on a fort Hood tank firing range that was easily six feet across. Smaller shells made up the majority of the gravel in the area.
This shows why the mountains of Appalachia are so much older and eroded than the Rockies. They were around and being worn by the wind and rain before the Rockies even emerges from the sea.
There's also evidence of crazy currents and weather here. If this sea still existed it would likely be one of the most dangerous in the world due to all the extreme storms and dangerous currents.
I think the reason why sea creatures in general are so scary is because we cannot maneuver well in the water. We're pretty much sitting ducks
Don't forget that most of our weapons can't function underwater.
Ducks still do better than we do lol
We are now the predators of the ocean now that underwater submerged submarines and U-boats exist.

Me (a person that has mild thalassophobia): *sees a video entitled This Prehistoric Ocean was Thalassophobia on Steroids* “oh, cool lets watch this video”
My childhood prehistoric fascination is returning thanks to this channel
Much respect to the camera man who left all these images behind for us.
Respect, Grug. Son of Krug.
Lol!!
They all called him crazy, but now he’s chilling up in caveman heaven being known as Grug the Smug
I wish we could see what things were like through out different prehistoric era's. To just see how different creatures behaved would be one of the most amazing things ever. I wish people would make video games that let us explore prehistoric oceans or on land, it could be one of those horror games that is scary solely based off of it's setting and subject. Like how subnatica is eerie because just the act of being underwater is eerie enough on it's own
6:01 how I like my men
*vine thud*
Finely serated? Lmfao
Damn
This was hilarious, it was at 6:01 when I was reading your comment. It was PERFECT timing!
What
I’m amazed at the power displayed in this animal fight. Nature is both beautiful and frightening.
About 12 years ago, when I was about 5, I was on a friend’s boat and we were in the Gulf Stream coming off the coast of south Florida. I jumped in the water to cool off and we saw a giant fin not too far away. I got pulled into the boat and we drove over to the animal. It happened to not be a shark, but something much better; a mola mola, also known as an ocean sunfish. It’s a fish that looks like just a head. It’s also had a remora on its belly for good measure.
Hey, I am working at the museum which houses the largest specimen of Parapuzosia seppenradensis (seen at 15:00), and we just started working on the most recent reconstruction. The size estimetes over 2 m in diameter are most probably exaggerations.
I think the THETYS SEA was kind of comparable
a video on the hippopotamus gorgops would be much appreciated
Not as much densely packed with big raptorial predators.
Yea@@francissemyon7971
Yeah@@francissemyon7971
Honestly I don't why my reply keeps getting deleted but yes I agree
Tethys sea
The dedication and hard work really pay off in these videos.
I never realised the sea monster things in Ice Age 2 were actually accurate 🤣
Happy to see footage from Prehistoric Park. I loved that show.
Born and raised in Colorado, this inland sea has always fascinated me!! The mountains and rocks just have a very unique beauty to me, maybe cause I find so many with small, ancient aquatic fossils!
The regular fish jus tryna vibe 🤣😶☠️
I pray in my next life I don’t get reincarnated as a small fish.
@@rusty7984you will be a big tuna then
@@rusty7984 Don't worry, reincarnation isn't real.
4:13 You know you're screwed when a creature's scientific name includes the word Jormungandr.
Lets just show some appreciation to all the cameramen who went back in time and got in the water to get us these clips 🙏🙏🙏
"Worse things happen at sea, ya know?" Eric, you're bang on mate!
I put this on the fall asleep to but it was so interesting I stayed up and watched the entire video, it’s 4am
I had to come back the next day to watch it properly 😊😊
Welcome to the jurassic night tribe! -- or should I say the cretaceous chill crew!
More like the telomere destruction crew 😂
It’s really jarring how similar today’s crocodilians are to their prehistoric ancestors. Like…wow
It’s really cool to see a video like this, where it’s one genre, having some topics you’ve covered before but new ones too
I think the biggest scare for most people with thalasaphobia is the fear of the unknown. We've still only discovered less than 5% of the world's ocean waters. For reference, we discovered more of space than our own ocean. Scientifically speaking, we can't confirm or deny everything that's down there, and that sends chills down my spine.

You should really credit the animator "Dead Sound" in your videos or in the description of your videos, his work is so distinct and beautiful
For anyone wondering, Dead Sound is his UA-cam channel, where he has an amazing list of videos and a series called "Dinosauria" to watch!
This video made me feel like I was covered in sea spiders. Thanks.
Watching this while I take a shit feeling like something’s bout to pop out of the water 😂
Lol
I can't believe it, I remember this documentary and I tried to remember its name for ages
As someone who lives in South Mississippi, I think you ruined my night by showing me this graph at 1:34. Is that why Mississippi is so flat?? I live at the bottom of an ocean that once was. I'm so over it already but I'm gonna watch this whole video
Nigel Marven wasn’t lying when he called it “Hells Aquarium”
3:03 I just watched this clip yesterday 😭 he’s just a lil guy!
21:22 Xiphactinus honestly looks like something Jeremy Wade would go fishing for. They’re absolutely gorgeous.
A Mosasaur vs Deinosuchus fight wouldve been EPIC
I loved the phrase "reached its climax and peak nopeness"
*Australia: Underwater Edition*
4:12 *J O R M U N G A N D R* the world serpant
"peak nopeness" is the absolute best way to describe whatever the hell this thing is
Nigel Marvin was great in that documentary
The Bering sea is 500 ft deep avg. that might mean that this sea might have terrible storms and waves normally
My mind is really having an internal fight here as my curiosity of prehistoric creatures in general is battling with my raging thalassophobia/aquaphobia. I want to learn about stuff, but goddamn I cannot look at most of this. Curse my brain!
This channel is such the apex I was looking for between dinosaurs, real facts, and entertainment. 👏👏👏
Wow thanks for this deep dive of WAS. Paleo channels tend to cover the animals that lived on Laramidia and Appalchia rather than the sea in between
That video title took me right back to Nigel Marvin and the 7 deadliest oceans 😫 good times
17:21 "with the biggest recorded being longer than a ruler."
-Anybody want to tell him what rulers are for?
that made me so mad bro😂
Willie's
High Quality, Clear speaking and Amazing titles that make me laugh! Continue the awesome work
ExtinctZoo on his way to make me obsessed with dinosaurs again
Being eaten alive I'm sure is equally terrifying either on land or in the waters. The only comfort is knowing the sheer size of these mouths and teeth increased the chances of instant death for hominids 5 feet and shorter. I'd rather be eaten by any of these prehistoric creatures than a modern day lion, tiger or bear. There's always the chance of instant death, but it seems bleeding out while having your flesh ripped off your body seems more likely.
Crocodiles really got nerfed over the years
2 bad, I liked how their thiccness could be higher than a person height
They pretty much just grow according to the size of prey they have to hunt.
BALANCE PATCH: Nerfed crocodilian hitbox size.
Please make a series on various elephantimorpha families.
this was my fixation as a kid. if this video was available to me i would've watched it millions of times over. THANK YOUUUU!!
0:25 That documentary was my childhood
same! was obsessed with it as kid, watched a lot of dinosaur docs with my grandpa but my favorites were the oceans
This was horrifying and fascinating
"Do you even KNOW What goes on in the Ocean?! I don't! It's TERRIFYING!"
Wake up, new ExtinctZoo video just dropped
Someone mentioning the childhood-defining docu-fiction-series that is Nigel Marven in Sea Monsters is so wild bc I swear no one else ever saw it but me
“Why don’t you like going into the ocean?” This. This is why.
20:16 this jaw is not from a tiger shark (Galeocerdo cuvier), but from a sand tiger shark (Carcharias taurus), which, despite the name, is not closely related and ecologically very different.
I once found an ammonite shell on a fort Hood tank firing range that was easily six feet across.
Smaller shells made up the majority of the gravel in the area.
If Smaug was there he would have kept sleeping under the gold for safety
This shows why the mountains of Appalachia are so much older and eroded than the Rockies. They were around and being worn by the wind and rain before the Rockies even emerges from the sea.
I’m amazed by how you explained the variety of sharks in the Seaway. The fact that the Ptychodus specialized in crushing hard shells is just crazy!
Well, I’ll be damned! For 28 years I lived in the remains of this Ocean!
I did a paper on the inland sea in college. It was fascinating.
Damn Appalachia been around for a while… Kentucky goin strong
Now can you imagine the balls Groudon has when battling Kyogre while standing on a small patch of land
Seems like a great idea to watch this at 3 am when you have heart wrenching thalasophobia
There's also evidence of crazy currents and weather here. If this sea still existed it would likely be one of the most dangerous in the world due to all the extreme storms and dangerous currents.
