And as he says soft tissues doesn’t like to fossilise We have deep sea gigantism now so it makes sense that it’s been going on for hundreds of million years I can’t remember the term but animals are generally limited in size because bones would have to become too dense surface are and weight becomes too much and gravity just says no more of this and would just kill anything too big but by underwater the rules are out the window look at the blue whale it is terrifyingly large and we know there were honey fish and such that were even larger still without bones who knows what kind of Eldrich horror could have evolved and disappeared when food got scarce

bit more than that.

@@RyoApeiron Based on my research (by which I mean looking at several Wikipedia articles), it appears that land plants first emerged in the mid-Ordovician period, around 470 million years ago, but they did not become widespread until the Devonian period, roughly 420-360 million years ago. Therefore, during the Cambrian period (approximately 541-485 million years ago), terrestrial plant life would have been minimal or nonexistent, with the only life on land consisting of bacterial mats, fungi, and some lichens.
@@BaneofBots They is a perfectly acceptable use of a pronoun for another person, and you would know that if you actually paid attention in your English classes.
I used to call my mother-in-law "the Kraken," as she too descended from invertebrates 500 million years ago, had many tentacles and I heard that in her younger years she also gave many sailors nightmares.
Ive watched this channel for quite a while now and know what to expect. But my dumbass reading read it as "karens". I was like "karens? In the cambrian?!"
You mention that certain species of cephalopod lack tentacles. This had me baffled until I remembered that there's a distinction between arms and tentacles. You made me think and remember. Not everyone has that titbit of knowledge lurking in the mental bilge. You might want to clarify that point.
If the only difference between two "species" is shell texture what are the chances it was not that they were separate species but something like diet that made the difference?
I think, more _practically,_ the kraken - and indeed, many sea monsters of maritime folklore - might've been inspired by rogue waves, serving as a stand-in for a phenomenon people simply didn't understand at the time as monsters so often do.
I'm not sure it's entirely possible although the thing to keep in mind is eye witness accounts from sailors about rouge waves have been a thing since the dawn of transatlantic sailing however since scientists had not seen it or found any direct evidence of it they wrote these sailors off as crazy lying drunks. Perhaps an explanation of "it was a giant squid" seemed more believable at the time than "a giant wave that came out of nowhere"
Chitin I do believe is pronounced as it's spelled Chiton is pronounced that way, and refers to a covering armor, where chitin is the material that many chitonous shells are made of, unless I got my facts mixed.
Extant sperm whales are sometimes found with sucker wounds presumably from deep sea battles with giant squid. I can imagine ancient marine reptiles bearing similar scars.
When you really think about it, sperm whales are very strange creatures compared to other extant cetaceans and even typical predatory megafauna. Usually, big animals are either herbivorous/plankton-iverous, or they inhabit areas with large amounts of available food; e.g., NOT the deep ocean where food is rather scarce by comparison, at least for something whale-sized.
@@tinobemellow My theory is that the Kraken stories were based on actual giant/collosal squid attacks. Considering how intelligent cephalopods are, I don't think it's too crazy to suggest that at some point one or more individuals figured out that those weird wooden boxes that floated overhead every now and then were full of little fleshy creatures that couldn't swim away very well and were kinda tasty.
How in the world does a smoother shell equate to a different species if all other things are equal? Subspecies? Perhaps but surely more likely to be environmentally related surely?
Good point. Considering Hermit crabs pick different shells when the gradually grow in size. I'm guessing squids/octopuses are a lot more intelligent than crabs 🙂
The Kraken that Jack Sparrow spoke of ???? I was lucky enough to play w/ a giant squid while scuba diving...He was very curious about my tanks, mask, regulator AND my fins.

I honestly think the kraken was an actual thing. Many sailing vessels were medium to small whale size, so a squid that is big enough and preys on whales accidentally attacking a ship doesn't seem too uncommon. They even made a reference in Moby Dick. The "bad omen" of a massive white cone poking out of the water after days of no wind in the sails. Basically described a colossal squid breaching the surface to look for food during the day which is SUPER rare but not unheard of. Wouldn't surprise me if that actually happened when the author was taking his little adventure on a whaling vessel and it stuck with him so much he put it in the book

Arrgh!!! Chitin is pronounced “KAI-tin,” damnit!!!! Sorry, I know this response may seem a little out of proportion, but I’ve been hearing so many people mispronounce it for so long, at first just those with poorer reading skills and vocabulary; but apparently now the mispronunciation has be some sort of common and widespread, even the more intelligent end of the spectrum, such as the creator of this channel, are convinced it’s “CHIH-tin.” Don’t spread the stupid version, people!
I wonder if he did it on purpose just for kicks…there’s no way anyone goes through school or starts learning about animals without having come across that word before…school textbooks even have a pronunciation for it
As a non native-english speaker, why are you guys like this? Have you tried spelling things like they are pronounced (or vice versa)? How does CH produce a K sound? How does the letter I lead to an AI sound rather than iii?
I get correcting him but you don’t have to be all angry about it, if someone mispronounced library(I don’t know why I chose library so don’t ask) I wouldn’t start yelling at them.
The giant squid is the largest cephalopod, the longest ever recorded measured almost 43 feet (13 meters) long......imagine that trying to get into your boat while you fishing

As someone who has seen a giant squid in real life (sadly not alive), you can really see just how big they are, and how dangerous they can be to a human. I also once got a close up view of a (once again sadly dead) baby colossal squid’s suckers, and they have these terrifying hooks in them, and you really do see how deadly they are.
That wasn't a kraken, friend. That was a JeanJacket from Nope movie (2022), you need to stay in the safety of your home and not leave it, then you will be fine.
After that 30 ft straight shelled one died out that's probably when the giant squid and Goliath squid came in because they don't have shells we wouldn't see them in the fossil record
as a welshman the way you say ordovincian pains me, fun fact, the old ordovinces (ordo-vinch-ee-s) and silures(sil-urs / sil-yurs) were welsh tribes, it's not Sihlurian and ordovishian, please
Yeah it's sad not many people know this, but at least the tribes names live on through these classifications, even if people can't properly pronounce them 😆.
@@Not-Ap it's a bit of a shame that we didnt get to eventually see their cultures become counties or regions like the demetae, or Dyfed, did. but as is a constant, welsh will always be mispronounced 😂
I watched a video on youtube where a geologist stated that some sections of the ocean floor even in places like the remote Indian ocean are buried under several miles of eroded mud that has been carried out there by currents from the deltas where it washed off the continental shelf. Oh the things we might find if we could somehow mine these deposits for fossils
My grandfather was a sailor, he was on the Great Lakes and in the South Pacific. He said sea monsters were real and told us stories of huge creatures that were not whales and about lights in the water that shot skyward. He wasn't the type of person who carried tales or lied, he was an honourable man. When he told those stories, it was a sobering thing. We don't know much about our seas and I believe there are very scary things in the depths.
I'd like to hear any stories you feel like sharing about non-whales. Also USO (Unidentified Submersible Objects) sightings are very common throughout history. Even Christopher Columbus saw them. They are often linked to the more common UFOs which makes them near impossible to catch and very miraculous to witness.
Krakens were originally described as giant crustaceans. Some bishop confused then with the giant cephalopod called the hafgufa, resulting in overrepresentation of the hafgufa and underrepresentation of the actual kraken beyond the "crabzilla" online legend
Oof that's terrifying but funny at the same time. Makes me think of that old Godzilla movie "Godzilla vs the Sea Monster" the Sea Monster being a 100+ ft Lobster lol.
@5:07 this little picture of chitin is from Ark: Survival Evolved. This is what chitin looks like in your inventory. Am I right, or am I right?! Lol. Awesome video.
haha.... "Were Real"... That's cute. On this very night, ten years ago, in this same body of water, in a dense fog just like this. I saw the biggest squid I ever seen. There was this stench, like a garbage truck. It was the size of the Empire State Building... It snatched my second mate right from the bridge. And when they finally pulled his body from the twisted, churning tentacles. It looked like this -> 👹👹👹..!!!! Yes, Sir! The biggest squid I ever seen......
Ok, so apparently this is how I learn that not only was there a prehistoric cephalopod called the 'EROMANGATEUTHIS', but also that it's not just called that because of some wacky paleontologist having fun, but because MY OWN COUNTRY has a sedimentary basin called the Eromanga Basin, which is where the Eromanga sea the cephalopod called home was located back in the day. It's called this because of the TOWN of Eromanga located near it, a town which was named in the 1860's, because it apparently means 'windy plain' in the indigenous language. So yeah, despite the evidence I thought supported it, they didn't name the prehistoric tentacle creature after hentai, but instead just an ancient Indigenous Australian term that only accidentally sparked some connection to fart fetishes in my head.
Just want to say that I love your videos. I some how subbed, fixed that though!

Squids without shells rarely ever fossilize, there could have certainly been kraken sized squid that terrorized the ancient seas.
Colosal squid has to have an ancestor right?!
And as he says soft tissues doesn’t like to fossilise
We have deep sea gigantism now so it makes sense that it’s been going on for hundreds of million years

Sorry, I know this response may seem a little out of proportion, but I’ve been hearing so many people mispronounce it for so long, at first just those with poorer reading skills and vocabulary; but apparently now the mispronunciation has be some sort of common and widespread, even the more intelligent end of the spectrum, such as the creator of this channel, are convinced it’s “CHIH-tin.” Don’t spread the stupid version, people!
I wonder if he did it on purpose just for kicks…there’s no way anyone goes through school or starts learning about animals without having come across that word before…school textbooks even have a pronunciation for it
As a non native-english speaker, why are you guys like this? Have you tried spelling things like they are pronounced (or vice versa)? How does CH produce a K sound? How does the letter I lead to an AI sound rather than iii?
There are several dialects of English
I get correcting him but you don’t have to be all angry about it, if someone mispronounced library(I don’t know why I chose library so don’t ask) I wouldn’t start yelling at them.
12:03 ive always wondered if they're were squid like animals without the hunting clubs
The closest thing we know about. The deep oceans are rather disturbing and unknown still.
The giant squid is the largest cephalopod, the longest ever recorded measured almost 43 feet (13 meters) long......imagine that trying to get into your boat while you fishing
Most of that is length of feeding tentacles. Without, not really that big.
"Chitin", like "chaos" and "chemistry" and so on, are pronounced with a /k/because they are Greek.
16:15 the common trope of an island being attacked by monsters from the water… really?! Can’t imagine why an Island nation would have such stories, myths and legends.
Bruh Parapuzosia is so scuffed 😭
I wasn't prepared for how big it is jesus christ-
*THE DAMN THING'S LONGER THAN THE FIRST GODZILLA IS TALL WHEN UNCURLED, THAT'S NOT SOMETHING I'M EVER PREPARED FOR* 😂
God, imagine swimming in the western interior sea, expecting to see fish, marine reptiles and smaller ammonites, only to come across this behemoth of a mollusk
ur videos are dope. that is all.
0:43 this is exactly the kind of thing someone would say right before finding out the hard way that krakens are 100% real.
where's the first scene from ? 0:01
Live action One Piece show
Thanks
@@morewi You're welcome
As someone who has seen a giant squid in real life (sadly not alive), you can really see just how big they are, and how dangerous they can be to a human. I also once got a close up view of a (once again sadly dead) baby colossal squid’s suckers, and they have these terrifying hooks in them, and you really do see how deadly they are.
Maybe there was a squid a mega squid that was in existence 250 years ago and this species just died off
A Kraken just flew over my house!
That wasn't a kraken, friend. That was a JeanJacket from Nope movie (2022), you need to stay in the safety of your home and not leave it, then you will be fine.
After that 30 ft straight shelled one died out that's probably when the giant squid and Goliath squid came in because they don't have shells we wouldn't see them in the fossil record
as a welshman the way you say ordovincian pains me,
fun fact, the old ordovinces (ordo-vinch-ee-s) and silures(sil-urs / sil-yurs) were welsh tribes,
it's not Sihlurian and ordovishian, please
Yeah it's sad not many people know this, but at least the tribes names live on through these classifications, even if people can't properly pronounce them 😆.
@@Not-Ap it's a bit of a shame that we didnt get to eventually see their cultures become counties or regions like the demetae, or Dyfed, did.
but as is a constant, welsh will always be mispronounced
😂
WHAT IS DEAD MAY NEVER DIE! IN EURON WE TRUST FOR WE DO NOT SAW!!! IN VICTARION WE TRUST!
Imagine u see tentacles come out ur ship and then u wake up in the middle of a ocean and u can feel a big squid watching you
I watched a video on youtube where a geologist stated that some sections of the ocean floor even in places like the remote Indian ocean are buried under several miles of eroded mud that has been carried out there by currents from the deltas where it washed off the continental shelf. Oh the things we might find if we could somehow mine these deposits for fossils
k r a k e n = *C T H U L L U*
Ay the bar I work at we keep getting calls for a guy named Phil Mc Kraken
How large was the other beak? You didn't say
How do we know they swam at all? With a shell that heavy it doesn’t seem plausible
🐙🐙🐙🐙🐙🐙🐙🐙🐙🐙🐙🐙🐙 your nobody till you've partied w/ an 🐙🐙🐙 octopus !!!!
Krakens just want a hug 🤗
Can you do a video about the big five extinction?
Japanese " Its good eating boys🗣️🗣️🗣️
The pretty large squid and the somewhat heavy squid
My grandfather was a sailor, he was on the Great Lakes and in the South Pacific. He said sea monsters were real and told us stories of huge creatures that were not whales and about lights in the water that shot skyward. He wasn't the type of person who carried tales or lied, he was an honourable man. When he told those stories, it was a sobering thing. We don't know much about our seas and I believe there are very scary things in the depths.
I'd like to hear any stories you feel like sharing about non-whales. Also USO (Unidentified Submersible Objects) sightings are very common throughout history. Even Christopher Columbus saw them. They are often linked to the more common UFOs which makes them near impossible to catch and very miraculous to witness.
Giant red squid 🦑 are real kraken.
16:09 That’s not irony, that’s befitting.
Bruh, they're real right now
Where are all these beautiful 3d renders of the animals from?
Many of them appear to be from Julian Johnson-Mortimer, a fantastic 3D artist here in UA-cam who... well, you saw the animations.
Praise Lord Helix
Krakens were originally described as giant crustaceans. Some bishop confused then with the giant cephalopod called the hafgufa, resulting in overrepresentation of the hafgufa and underrepresentation of the actual kraken beyond the "crabzilla" online legend
Oof that's terrifying but funny at the same time. Makes me think of that old Godzilla movie "Godzilla vs the Sea Monster" the Sea Monster being a 100+ ft Lobster lol.
@@Not-Ap Same
They still are real
Giant and colossal squid: "hey.."
There's an even more common trope involving Japan and creatures with tentacles.......
"Chitin" is pronounced KITE-in just fyi :)
If it wasn't for Joshua, we would still have Ammonites around today.
(5:00) "KY-tin" not "Chi-tin". 😉
Yeah that always sounds like nails on a chalkboard hearing Chi-Tin
@5:07 this little picture of chitin is from Ark: Survival Evolved. This is what chitin looks like in your inventory. Am I right, or am I right?! Lol. Awesome video.
I am actually triggered by your mispronounciation of chitin.
"Chi" is a Greek letter pronounced "Ky".
I recently acquired a fascination with the deep so this video was a welcome surprise.
haha.... "Were Real"... That's cute.
On this very night, ten years ago, in this same body of water, in a dense fog just like this. I saw the biggest squid I ever seen. There was this stench, like a garbage truck. It was the size of the Empire State Building...
It snatched my second mate right from the bridge. And when they finally pulled his body from the twisted, churning tentacles. It looked like this -> 👹👹👹..!!!!
Yes, Sir! The biggest squid I ever seen......
12:20 I doubt in the Jurassic there were: "small marine mammals" I think you meant reptiles.
As a person with thelasophobia I'm terrified 😨 just by watching this video.
Common Trope of Japan... In a Cephalopod video... Monsters from the sea, yeah right.
When ai take fat dump I say
“Release the KRAPPEN!!!”
Ok, so apparently this is how I learn that not only was there a prehistoric cephalopod called the 'EROMANGATEUTHIS', but also that it's not just called that because of some wacky paleontologist having fun, but because MY OWN COUNTRY has a sedimentary basin called the Eromanga Basin, which is where the Eromanga sea the cephalopod called home was located back in the day. It's called this because of the TOWN of Eromanga located near it, a town which was named in the 1860's, because it apparently means 'windy plain' in the indigenous language.
So yeah, despite the evidence I thought supported it, they didn't name the prehistoric tentacle creature after hentai, but instead just an ancient Indigenous Australian term that only accidentally sparked some connection to fart fetishes in my head.
Lmao "When"😂😂😂😂
My guy.
Enter into the abyss & behold the terrors of the deep.
You won't share your tale, but you'll wish you could.
Who's winning, kraken or River Monster guy??
I would've pronounced it 'kai-tin' rather than 'chitin' but great video. I wasn't even sure which bits were CGI!
Just want to say that I love your videos. I some how subbed, fixed that though! I was having trouble getting my reports / essays to flow well for college and I started paying attention to how your scripts flowed. Basically, I'm saying you do such a great job with transitioning in your script that I helped me transition my profession writing.
A dark abomination emerges from the depths. Overpowers you with its arms, then severs your spine with its beak. You watch helplessly as it drags you down, your vision darkening from lack of air and sunlight. Unknown and just another victim claimed by the abyss.
“Unknown sailor”
Excellent, enjoyed this all the way through!!! 👍🇱🇷
