I always wonder, if these deep sea creatures still have functioning eyes at these depths they must be ridiculously sensitive right? So would the intensity of the lights on the rovers be as bright for them as us staring at the sun?
Don't think so. Eyes aren't an evolutional advantage down there, so they will develop backwards to save energy. Animals down there are probably almost blind and have other senses developed. Compare it to moles, they are almost blind too and have no problem with day light. It just wouldnt make sense for a sea creature down there to have that sensitive eyes as other senses will take over
Which is why most of the time they use red lights, enough for us to see, but not enough to harm the critters. White light only used for filming purposes.
Which is also odd because normally evolution favors use it or lose it and there isn't enough light down there to even use it majority of the time so I would expect them to lose it But if it became more sensitive that's understandable too, but less if they simply enhance other senses and lost their eyes
@@saosaqii5807 it doesn't necessarily have to be more sensitive. Although they are due to the size of the organs involved. Keep in mind they are hunting animals with bioluminesence.
"Gravity" is somewhat of an abstract concept when you can maintain neutral buoyancy in your "atmosphere" (in this case: the ocean). It's easy to weigh a lot when you don't actually have to support all that weight _with your body._
@@baguettewithcheese3880 Sure, but their _experience_ of gravity would be totally different. Humans tend to think of gravity in terms of things going down. A fish - being more concerned with buoyancy in any case - would probably think of gravity in terms of things going up.
buoyancy, i wonder how high can u reach into the skies and drop a nuke into the ocean, how deep it can penetrate before buoyancy affects it from going any deeper then detonates, whats the impact or reach the blast can go further down the ocean..i wonder if any of that is ever measured?... i assume a missile shot downwards in the ocean is no different to a submarine diving to the deepest depths that bouyancy and pressure stops it from continue to dive down?
13:45 "Relatably, when giant isopods find a significant food source, they gorge themselves to the point of compromising their locomotive ability." Damn, ive never felt so similar to isopods in my life. Thank you narrator.
Interesting thing is that in so low temperatures many chemical reactions are slower or non existing. That would suggest that those creatures not only live longer but they are living slower. I bet that such a gigantic pressure also adds to this effect.
If the aging is slower, then does this mean a reproductive cycle's length is larger? Then does this mean that they did not undergo too much of an evolution? Then does this mean that birth of life on earth can be traced back from them, cuz you know the should've survived meteors and stuff? Then are the prehistoric?
@@bern_stock8946 that would be the natural conclusion. If I recall correctly Greenland shark reaches sexual maturity at age 150. So indeed EVERYTHING is slower.
Hahahah oh common man..u also live under water and all of us..its our soul..and by the way birth and death only happens with the command of the almighty supreme lord...everything happens with lord’s command..its hard to digest this talk but its reality the truth..and if u wanna know this by yourself then look inside u(spiritual heart,space),like where our consciousness rest during sleep,over there when its stay conscious or awake then u gonna find all the answers..even which science never ever gonna get..

When I was a child, my parents took me with them on a family vacation to Tahiti. In the airport, my dad got me a book from a newsstand that was an illustrated dictionary of sea creatures. Surprisingly, despite being a book meant for kids, that dictionary contained a vast array of ocean animals that most people have never even heard of. Both the Greenland shark and the vampire squid were in that book, and I still remember them from reading it all those years ago.
as she said, living in the cold dark waters, moving slowly, burning almost no energy, starting mating when 150yrs old and completely blind all their life because someone is nibbling at their eyes. not a particularly pleasant fate
@@embreis2257 I wouldn't necessarily extrapolate from our experience to those of other creatures. You could say the same thing about a mole. Isn't it disgusted having to live below ground, eating worms all day, being almost blind? Does the mole say to itself every day: Oh I wish I was a rabbit above ground, I could eat green grass all day and see the sun shining? Probably not. A mole evolved to be that way, it doesn't know anything but that life, and it doesn't have the mental capacity to envision something different for itself. I don't think it is unhappy. Having said that, the Greenland shark probably could do without the parasites, even though it doesn't rely on eyesight all that much. Still, parasites suck.
This is the exact topic I wanted this channel to cover ever since I discovered it a year and a half ago, thank you for covering some of my favorite creatures that swim this planet with us. Keep up the wonderful work!
The "Natural World Facts" channel also has an interesting video about deep see gigantism among other fascinating subjects. Although this video is more complete
@@Pridefallen975 Science is nice, buuuut... I see Disinterest. Im sorry to see many not much interest in being Updated, let alone fighting-back against Extremism. I fear not many people even watched the video 'Marjorie Taylor Greene Has DEEPLY Disturbing Views'.
The Colossal Squid somehow feels even more terrifying when you know it's not hunting. Just a *huge* pair of jagged tentacles lunging out of the darkness, grabbing something, followed by complete silence for several months.
If aliens ever visited they'd likely not be arsed for us humans. They'd probably want to study the squids and deep sea creatures. They seem to be much more advanced than us
The thing with the Greenland Shark is that they swim into freshwater to shake off the crustaceans - they've been found in the rivers of Quebec, having swam up the seaway to get there, and have been found in the lochs of Scotland. The freshwater lets them shake off the crustaceans, and then they swim back into the sea. They're really, really strange.
They make me want to just pick them off. That can’t be comfortable to swim with. I guess evolutionarily speaking, when you have no need for eyes, eye parasites are more of an annoyance than a death sentence
From the Greenlands Shark's point of view, it had been swimming around in the deep ocean for a couple of centuries when suddenly, the water started getting warmer. Then plastic appeared everywhere. Finally, on a single day, it felt thousands of shockwaves coming from everywhere. After that, the plastic gradually went away and the water went back to normal temperature, and the greenland shark swam around for a couple of centuries more, wondering what the hell that was.
@@kelsey2333 Wouldn't that be wonderful if God did it? Because it would be fair and not arbitrary. I would raise my hands to heaven and shout:" OMG, I can't believe it's you! I sorted my trash every time! I used public transportation!" And he'd be like:" Ew! Atheist! Obviously going to hell!"
Imagine if the Sea Creatures had their own city and language and we are basically aliens to them making them tell stories of mysterious objects that had blinding lights go down and observe them for hours
And yet we still see human out there fishing (I’m not talking about the ones who live as fisherman or fish monger) , laughed about it, posted it online because while the fish is dying, didn’t even count the fact that it got hook on their mouth i also heard about the fact and that people talked about dolphins are literally human but live in the ocean, rape, torture, play with their prey etc.. Now that I look back here at us, I can’t look at those people the same way anymore
@The Siamese humans may have grown less cruel over these thousands of years. but we still once where in these positions and that we killed each other just to survive.We are lucky that we aren't in such positions nowadays.

"The thought of swimming around in pitch black with crustaceans in my eyes for 500 years gives me heebie jeebies of the highest order." Quote of the year for sure
You forgot to mention the fact that the crustacean that digs into the Greenland sharks eyes acts as a lure so that the Greenland shark gets easier meals even though it makes them completely blind it truly doesn’t change much because the zone they live in receives so little light it doesn’t change really anything for the shark
@@paranoidastronaut5792 their ancestors had eyes because they were living in the part of the sea where there is light. The shark then moved to the dark area and kept the eye because it's not harmful nor reducing its survival chances in any way. It is even beneficial since the crustacean that feeds on it brings food to the shark. This is just me guessing , I am not a biologist.
The Greenland Shark is my personal favorite shark and fish in general. Their incredibly long lifespans gives them a sense of agelessness. To think there probably are specimens older than the majority of nations today is simply amazing. The eye parasite sucks admittedly but they seem to get along just fine so who am I to say nay?
I can agree, they are really cool sharks, and are also in my top 5 favorite fish. My favorite fish has got to be the gulper catfish though, as they have such a unique biology, and they look like they belong in the deep sea, even though they reside in the rio negro. Gulpers are so unique, as they can eat fish twice their own size, and they are able too because of their expandable belly, much like an angler fish. They are also very strong and of course, nocturnal… i guess that’s why they remind me of a deep sea creature so much. I actully had a gulper catfish, and he was my first fish. I was so fascinated by their biology that I spent hours just watching him swim around. Also, it is so interesting How Greenland sharks live up to 500 years or more, though. I’ve heard of some that have lived till 700!
Fun fact: most (if not all) magnapinna squids have been juveniles, using the scale of objects that they’re often seen by, such as Oil Rigs, have been 20 - 25 feet long, meaning the Magnapinna Squid are certainly longer than we’ve seen
You got confused by wikipedia omg. Yes wikipedia said all bigfin squids (magnapinna) confirmed are babies, the one we see in the videos are adults. They aren't babies. They are the adults, the reason wikipedia says that is because we haven't confirmed whether these *adults* are bigfin squids, the same species as those babies
First I hear about the lower calorie need of the giant squid, and I'm like, "Oh, well that's all right, it's just chilling and looking for the occasional provident snack." Then I hear about its crazy slow metabolism, and how it only needs about fifty calories per day, just hiding down there, waiting patiently... somehow, that just made it scarier in the end.
This channel covers the EXACT topics that randomly come to my mind and ends up answering all of them! Looking forward to this channel hitting milestones one day!!
Hey new viewer here and don't comment much but just wanted to say this video is spectacular, grabbed my attention from the moment it started from the in depth descriptions to great narrative of the subject. WITHOUT constantly repeating what has been said before to simply increase the video duration. This was a spectacular job in editing and information delivery.
I honestly came to the comments to type essentially the same thing you have! I am glad I am not the only one who notices the amount of effort put into these videos. And after watching a few others too, man I appreciate it. Hope they get to read this and it makes their day. Keep up the fantastic work!!! (And) yes I know my name looks spammy. Tis just for security.
When she started talking about how little food colossal squids need, I had to check to make sure the sources were reliable. That’s so amazing!! It seems unreal
@Mr.Nobody.19817 yeah, it astonishes me when people say "we've only saw 5% of the ocean" or "megalodon still exists in the deep sea who knows!" as an argument. We've got a pretty good idea of what kind of animal can subside in the deep sea. Small, slow and harmless animals who bare too much pressure and probably eat once a week due to scarce food.
Sorry my friend - you are likely a shill for this channel because it is total crap - zero scientific credentials. and obviously so. The writing isn't anywhere near how an educated person explains their field of expertise. There are plenty of quality channels - but this is not one of them. She sounds like someone imitating what they imagine a scientist would say.
@@citizenblue Said that because your articulate comment was at odds with the judgment it revealed. -That is a joke of a channel - my point being that it is SO bad that I found it unlikely that one who could express themselves as you had could be so seemingly oblivious to that (imo) glaringly obvious fact. Anyway - sorry and feel free to enjoy what you choose.
@@citizenblue Just to explain a bit further - these type of channels are made with all kinds of stock of pretty stock footage loosly stitched together by a script written by unqualified amateurs. For instance - apart from the species mentioned, the extreme depths do NOT tend to foster gigantic creatures - in fact the exact OPPOSITE is true. - at extreme depths most animals are relatively tiny. The unmanned submersibles that collect specimens rarely snag anything over a few inches long. Huge creatures are much higher up in the water column where they can find he more plentiful food supplies their bulk requires. But iof you just look at the entire presentation, they say nothing you couldn't come up with after reading an entry in an encyclopedia. Fraudulent crap. ] PBS has tons of free quality science material on UA-cam. Take care and sorry for that comment ;-)
It’s so difficult for me to watch informative videos over 10 min bc of my adhd but these videos have me absolutely glued. Such professional quality and a beautiful flow of information
Omg same with me and my adhd haha it’s the first informative video I’ve been able to watch off my medication for months without meds I am badly stuck on shitty tv but this has held my attention thus far ! 🎉
I have both a deep fear and respect for the sea. I'll gladly swim at the beach, but I know that the ocean is an unforgiving mistress that could sweep me away if it felt like it
Imagine being a fish with giant ass pupils to absorb as much light as physically possible and some dude comes in with the sun in their hand. They've never seen anything so bright in their lives.
yea it sucks but photographers have found a way to not harm the animals. The deep sea cameras flash a red light which to most creatures isn't very visible. for example squids and octopuses, cant see blue or red. They see it as a shade of green, So the camera would look like a green dot appeared which won't harm them. That's why tigers are orange (shade of red) its because they will appear as a green blur to their prey
@@celestia7269 the perception of colour is determined by the presence of cells in the eye called cone photoreceptors. so basically we just took a animal then do scans of their eyes. And we look at the cells that are there. so with these scans scientists found out about what each animal can see. It’s also how we found out about if animals can see UV light.
The deep sea creatures are my favourite animals just because they’re so unique and cool and some people believe that some of these creatures would exist and another thing I love about deep sea creatures is that they have to adapt and try to find different ways to get food and survive!

Researching both will drive humanity forwards (space research is expensive and very long term investment, ocean is cheaper and shorter term) and i hope that as time goes by, we as the nr. 1 reason of the destruction of the world, will mature enough before starting to do any serious work in the ocean so we would not destroy it more. Had humanity have the ability to mine the ocean floor 50 years ago, there would be absolutely nothing left today. Even today we have some chance to work down there with tolerable damages and in the future hopefully with zero or miniscule damages.
I just realized: the ocean has one of the COOLEST names ever. The Abyss, the Hadal Trenches. Ones that are so easy to understand and so blood-chilling.Most names you either don't understand, or aren't cool.
Thank you for releasing this for FREE. Maybe ten years ago, it was tough to get this kind of quality on products that are released freely to the public. Could you cover more of the genesis of the squid and maybe its prime age? The age where it was most abundant and diverse. I know it's probably not as easy to cover something like this because they are soft-bodied but are the beaks different enough from each species that we can tell species apart and maybe guess its behavior?

despite all these scary creatures, damn, the ocean is still so beautiful. Knowing that all these rare lifeforms are in there, just lurking around, is just too mindblowing. Looking at the ocean from the surface, and understanding how incredibly deep and dark it goes below... its just so.. amazing. Gaah. cant even explain how awesome the ocean is.
That was INCREDIBLE! Years ago, Time Magazine showed a newly discovered species, toward the bottom of the ocean floor. It lived in thousands of pounds of pressure next to a BOILING natural petroleum vent! That environment would kill any Human in a second. Right then I knew that life NOT as we know it is capable of existing elsewhere. Two films that demonstrate that are The Andromeda Strain, (1971) and much more recently, Annihilation (2018). Thank you for this one!

@@alexanderwelker4464 talking about how we're destroying our planet isn't unscientific or preachy. it's a literal fact. if you don't like hearing about it, too bad.
@@Dcookies100 at best it's pseudoscience, the projections use the same modeling technology that have made the last 5 or so incorrect world ending projections. We've survived 3 global freezings and 2 global warmings at this point. We don't understand climate, we can barely predict the weather, a control model was once significantly off from where it was supposed to be due to an error in the data equal to the flapping of a butterflies wings. It is unknown if CO2 has a net warming efect as it effects many various things. It causes major plant growth which has a cooling efect, and it promotes Ozone growth wich blocks harmful radiation coming from the sun that would kill us otherwise. Also the climates natural state is that of change, the planet used to be significantly hotter, where human life could only possibly survive at the poles. A time where the poles weren't frozen. We've also had several warming projections proven to be literal lies through cherrypicking the warmest areas and ignorimg the coldest areas to allow for a them to claim warming globally when the actual average was the same at the time the data was taken. Arrogance and political partisanship keeps these climate theories from being effectively challenged by already known data that contradicts them. I've only listed the tip of the iceberg. It's unscientific calling it pseudoscience is being charitable. How about instead of losing our minds about things we can't yet understand we focus on real tangible problems like waste polution for example. Instead we've turned a likely beneficial molecule into a boogey man and ignore the fact that we give China our waste who then dumps it with reckless disreguard for nature. We even demonize the cleanest form of energy that produces the most energy, nuclear power.
@@alexanderwelker4464 I'll respond to the last portion: yes I agree that we should focus on figuring out how to manage our waste and we should definitely ditch fossil fuels for nuclear energy. Plastic usage also needs to be focused on. Even just doing this three things would vastly, vastly improve things.

I've always found giant sea creatures interesting, I remember the first time I saw an angel shark I was filled with so much glee at how weird, cool or just straight up horrifying, I want to become a marine biologist so I can be close to and study something so alien yet familiar to me, it feels me with a deep sense of foreboding curiosity.

For those creatures that are able to metabolize wood, it must have been such a loss when we started making ships out of metal instead. Now there are no more ship wrecks to chomp on.
The deep sea has got to be one of the most fascinating things to me. From the lnexplainable creatures to the miraculous beings, the deep sea is a treasure trove of fun facts.
This channel started coming up in my suggested just recently and man it’s easily one of the best channels on UA-cam. informative as hell and very entertaining with the depth and range of topics! Watching these videos of animal life humbles me and my little human life in a funny way which I appreciate.
I would imagine that life can grow so large because the salt water helps weaken the effect of gravity and life is not hindered by weight, this and an abundance of nutrition allows the creatures to grow to large sizes
I'm still trying to grasp the fact that there are fish 500+ years old. Were scientists to put strong focus into researching the properties that enable them to do so, we may find info that could extend our own life expectancy. The "lowered metabolism" I suspect has a strong part to play. Great video, thanks much!
They explicitly stated in the video that the low metabolism is part of the reason. So I wonder where you got that idea. Hey, did you know (and this is a true fact, not me being a smartass- well, not _just_ that, at least) that men are more likely to forget where they heard a fact, and mistakenly believe that they arrived at it themselves? It's true, uh.. excuse me... **checks name** it's true, Jeff. Anyways, I wonder where you got the "suspicion" that metabolism is linked to life expectancy ;)
Monterey Bay Aquarium has a deep sea exhibit! They mostly have various types of jellyfish, but they also have the Giant Japanese Spider Crab, they have siphonophores, some very deep water fish and I got the pet a giant isopod! It's very very cool and its a must-see!
look up "colligative properties of a solution" you can read all about the physical chemistry behind it, also high pressure means lower temperature needed for solid ice to form, look up the phase diagram of water
I think Real Science and Real Engineering together represent what is the capability of good work. The two channels exceed all my quality expectations in each and every video. Please never stop making this awesome content, I love it. And the narration is perfect in both channels.
Man, this just reminded me that it would be SO COOL if you could make an insane biology video of the sperm whale. With your depth of research, it would be better than every other video on youtube :D
I use to have aquariums and I noticed that the same fish when placed in a large aquarium tank grew much larger than the same one in a smaller tank. Could be one reason some grew to enormous sizes .Also the amount of oxygen in the tank can make them grow much larger.
The slow metabolism and slow energy burn rate must also mean they aren't intelligent or at least that their mind is quite unoccupied and inactive. I assume this since the human brain consumes a massive amount of energy when under strain and even during rest it still is quite active. I notice this quite a lot personally during for example university exam periods where its common to be mentally highly active and using every bit of energy you can for the entire day from morning until the deep night. In periods like that my diet requirements match what I'd eat if i had exercised quite rigorously for many hours. Obviously science also backs it up, the brain is indeed capable of using a very large portion of the bodies energy supply.
I really enjoyed this video. It was really interesting and informative. I also liked you segway into Morning Brew; the bit about the greenland shark being onto something hit pretty close to home. I don't think I'd mind living in deep dark oceans with parasites on my eyes if it meant not having to live in a world that's on fire.
This is the best, (sorry if I'm using wrong terms) Biology/Nature science content ever. This is the stuff I can't find in the TV. This is an amazing job, and I love the narration. Thank you for this incredible work!
Personally I love the deep sea, I am really intrigued and captivated by the otherworldly biology of the creatures down there, I want to know what kind of creatures live down there, and how they survive in such a harsh deep sea wasteland, I want to experience firsthand what being in a submarine down there feels like, I want to be one of the first people to go to the bottom of the ocean and poke a snail fish with my finger because I felt like it, also, the giant isopods are adorable.
I've always figured that thermoregulation was a part of it, due to the cold, but i didn't understand where there would be enough energy to sustain such large predators.
I was falling asleep while listening to this… and it was terrifying! The narration is so descriptive and detailed! Great video 😂 I definitely had to wake up and see what was going on!
Knockout presentation all around: great photos and graphics, intelligent (and intelligible!) narration, and loaded with stuff that I didn't know and was glad to learn. Five stars!
Before watching I'm gunna guess that it's because of two main reasons, one being that the bigger a creature is, the more room it has to grow stuff that combats the immense pressure. The second being that bigger creatures tend to have longer lifespans and thus more time to find a mate and reproduce in the vast nothingness down there. Adding onto the latter, bigger creatures tend to take more time to develop and be independent, so with less predators they have the opportunity to grow a bit slower

Videos like these make me realize even more the extent of the damage we've done to our environment and how important it is to preserve these ecosystems for our own wellbeing. It also fascinated me in general learning about all the different ways these deep sea creatures survived and caught their prey. This was astoundingly educational; oceanic life is way more complex and interesting than a lot of people can fathom.

Interesting thing is that in so low temperatures many chemical reactions are slower or non existing. That would suggest that those creatures not only live longer but they are living slower. I bet that such a gigantic pressure also adds to this effect.
If the aging is slower, then does this mean a reproductive cycle's length is larger? Then does this mean that they did not undergo too much of an evolution? Then does this mean that birth of life on earth can be traced back from them, cuz you know the should've survived meteors and stuff? Then are the prehistoric?
@@bern_stock8946 that would be the natural conclusion. If I recall correctly Greenland shark reaches sexual maturity at age 150. So indeed EVERYTHING is slower.

When I was a child, my parents took me with them on a family vacation to Tahiti. In the airport, my dad got me a book from a newsstand that was an illustrated dictionary of sea creatures. Surprisingly, despite being a book meant for kids, that dictionary contained a vast array of ocean animals that most people have never even heard of. Both the Greenland shark and the vampire squid were in that book, and I still remember them from reading it all those years ago.

as she said, living in the cold dark waters, moving slowly, burning almost no energy, starting mating when 150yrs old and completely blind all their life because someone is nibbling at their eyes. not a particularly pleasant fate

@@embreis2257 I wouldn't necessarily extrapolate from our experience to those of other creatures. You could say the same thing about a mole. Isn't it disgusted having to live below ground, eating worms all day, being almost blind? Does the mole say to itself every day: Oh I wish I was a rabbit above ground, I could eat green grass all day and see the sun shining? Probably not. A mole evolved to be that way, it doesn't know anything but that life, and it doesn't have the mental capacity to envision something different for itself. I don't think it is unhappy.
Having said that, the Greenland shark probably could do without the parasites, even though it doesn't rely on eyesight all that much. Still, parasites suck.

The thing with the Greenland Shark is that they swim into freshwater to shake off the crustaceans - they've been found in the rivers of Quebec, having swam up the seaway to get there, and have been found in the lochs of Scotland. The freshwater lets them shake off the crustaceans, and then they swim back into the sea. They're really, really strange.
They make me want to just pick them off. That can’t be comfortable to swim with. I guess evolutionarily speaking, when you have no need for eyes, eye parasites are more of an annoyance than a death sentence

From the Greenlands Shark's point of view, it had been swimming around in the deep ocean for a couple of centuries when suddenly, the water started getting warmer. Then plastic appeared everywhere. Finally, on a single day, it felt thousands of shockwaves coming from everywhere. After that, the plastic gradually went away and the water went back to normal temperature, and the greenland shark swam around for a couple of centuries more, wondering what the hell that was.

fr tho what kind of parasitic a-hole are they
You forgot to mention the fact that the crustacean that digs into the Greenland sharks eyes acts as a lure so that the Greenland shark gets easier meals even though it makes them completely blind it truly doesn’t change much because the zone they live in receives so little light it doesn’t change really anything for the shark
Genuine question, then why did they develop sight in the first place
it's technically still a shark. @@paranoidastronaut5792
@@paranoidastronaut5792 their ancestors had eyes because they were living in the part of the sea where there is light. The shark then moved to the dark area and kept the eye because it's not harmful nor reducing its survival chances in any way. It is even beneficial since the crustacean that feeds on it brings food to the shark.
This is just me guessing , I am not a biologist.
for the crustaceans to eat
The Greenland Shark is my personal favorite shark and fish in general. Their incredibly long lifespans gives them a sense of agelessness. To think there probably are specimens older than the majority of nations today is simply amazing. The eye parasite sucks admittedly but they seem to get along just fine so who am I to say nay?
I can agree, they are really cool sharks, and are also in my top 5 favorite fish. My favorite fish has got to be the gulper catfish though, as they have such a unique biology, and they look like they belong in the deep sea, even though they reside in the rio negro. Gulpers are so unique, as they can eat fish twice their own size, and they are able too because of their expandable belly, much like an angler fish. They are also very strong and of course, nocturnal… i guess that’s why they remind me of a deep sea creature so much. I actully had a gulper catfish, and he was my first fish. I was so fascinated by their biology that I spent hours just watching him swim around. Also, it is so interesting How Greenland sharks live up to 500 years or more, though. I’ve heard of some that have lived till 700!

The unmanned submersibles that collect specimens rarely snag anything over a few inches long. Huge creatures are much higher up in the water column where they can find he more plentiful food supplies their bulk requires.

That's why the most intelligent life at the bottom hides and we have never seen it. Humans are too easy to detect.
yea it sucks but photographers have found a way to not harm the animals. The deep sea cameras flash a red light which to most creatures isn't very visible. for example squids and octopuses, cant see blue or red. They see it as a shade of green, So the camera would look like a green dot appeared which won't harm them. That's why tigers are orange (shade of red) its because they will appear as a green blur to their prey

We don't understand climate, we can barely predict the weather, a control model was once significantly off from where it was supposed to be due to an error in the data equal to the flapping of a butterflies wings. It is unknown if CO2 has a net warming efect as it effects many various things. It causes major plant growth which has a cooling efect, and it promotes Ozone growth wich blocks harmful radiation coming from the sun that would kill us otherwise.
Also the climates natural state is that of change, the planet used to be significantly hotter, where human life could only possibly survive at the poles. A time where the poles weren't frozen. We've also had several warming projections proven to be literal lies through cherrypicking the warmest areas and ignorimg the coldest areas to allow for a them to claim warming globally when the actual average was the same at the time the data was taken.

@@citizenblue Absolutely nailed it with that one

This was a fascinating piece! I definitely learned a few new things.
I'm still trying to grasp the fact that there are fish 500+ years old.
Were scientists to put strong focus into researching the properties that enable them to do so, we may find info that could extend our own life expectancy.
The "lowered metabolism" I suspect has a strong part to play.
Great video, thanks much!
They explicitly stated in the video that the low metabolism is part of the reason. So I wonder where you got that idea. Hey, did you know (and this is a true fact, not me being a smartass- well, not _just_ that, at least) that men are more likely to forget where they heard a fact, and mistakenly believe that they arrived at it themselves? It's true, uh.. excuse me... **checks name** it's true, Jeff. Anyways, I wonder where you got the "suspicion" that metabolism is linked to life expectancy ;)
Monterey Bay Aquarium has a deep sea exhibit! They mostly have various types of jellyfish, but they also have the Giant Japanese Spider Crab, they have siphonophores, some very deep water fish and I got the pet a giant isopod! It's very very cool and its a must-see!

09:50 How can the water temperature be -2 degrees Celcius and it still be liquid? Is this possible?
The salt content means ocean water freezes at a lower temperature than fresh water
I would also guess that the increased pressure makes it hard for ice to form. If you press on ice, the top layer will momentarily melt.
look up "colligative properties of a solution" you can read all about the physical chemistry behind it, also high pressure means lower temperature needed for solid ice to form, look up the phase diagram of water
Age of sail battles must have been a buffet for those bugs, a ship coming down must have been like a gourmet buffet straight to the door
I think Real Science and Real Engineering together represent what is the capability of good work. The two channels exceed all my quality expectations in each and every video. Please never stop making this awesome content, I love it. And the narration is perfect in both channels.
"mosquito da selva" jkkkkkkkk
Man, this just reminded me that it would be SO COOL if you could make an insane biology video of the sperm whale. With your depth of research, it would be better than every other video on youtube :D
This is incredible and I could cry thinking about the fact that there could be no more giants in a few decades
Don't worry I'm getting all my bones replaced with steel beams here soon. I'm gonna be fucking HUGE.
Mankind actually never managed to discover the Earth 100%. So, yeah there could be giants somewhere

I use to have aquariums and I noticed that the same fish when placed in a large aquarium tank grew much larger than the same one in a smaller tank. Could be one reason some grew to enormous sizes .Also the amount of oxygen in the tank can make them grow much larger.
The slow metabolism and slow energy burn rate must also mean they aren't intelligent or at least that their mind is quite unoccupied and inactive. I assume this since the human brain consumes a massive amount of energy when under strain and even during rest it still is quite active. I notice this quite a lot personally during for example university exam periods where its common to be mentally highly active and using every bit of energy you can for the entire day from morning until the deep night. In periods like that my diet requirements match what I'd eat if i had exercised quite rigorously for many hours. Obviously science also backs it up, the brain is indeed capable of using a very large portion of the bodies energy supply.
This is exactly what came to my mind when i heard they have slow metabolism. Basically a tree floating around.
Well, honestly...what would they need to "think" *about? 🤔

I really enjoyed this video. It was really interesting and informative. I also liked you segway into Morning Brew; the bit about the greenland shark being onto something hit pretty close to home. I don't think I'd mind living in deep dark oceans with parasites on my eyes if it meant not having to live in a world that's on fire.
This is the best, (sorry if I'm using wrong terms) Biology/Nature science content ever. This is the stuff I can't find in the TV. This is an amazing job, and I love the narration. Thank you for this incredible work!
Personally I love the deep sea, I am really intrigued and captivated by the otherworldly biology of the creatures down there, I want to know what kind of creatures live down there, and how they survive in such a harsh deep sea wasteland, I want to experience firsthand what being in a submarine down there feels like, I want to be one of the first people to go to the bottom of the ocean and poke a snail fish with my finger because I felt like it, also, the giant isopods are adorable.
Best channel on YT
definitely
I've always figured that thermoregulation was a part of it, due to the cold, but i didn't understand where there would be enough energy to sustain such large predators.
It really is the most beautiful scientific work that can be seen on UA-cam Thank you from the heart❤❤
❤️
😱
There’s something magical about the ocean’s depth, where species unknown to most of us live in harmony, creating their own mysterious ecosystems
Love this channel and it’s rigorous research. Thank you for the video.
17:17 I feel personally attacked 😅😅😅
I was falling asleep while listening to this… and it was terrifying! The narration is so descriptive and detailed! Great video 😂 I definitely had to wake up and see what was going on!
😂 this happened then I read this comment once I woke back up
Just wanna give a shoutout to the cameraman who managed to record these submarines at those depths.
11:16 they've been found to have what in their belly? reindeer, polar bear, and what?! They must have ordered out or something 😂
Knockout presentation all around: great photos and graphics, intelligent (and intelligible!) narration, and loaded with stuff that I didn't know and was glad to learn. Five stars!
Aside from the misuse of the term evolution right from the start. Pure speculation.
Wow my mind is blown by the specialized enzyme to digest wood in the abyss 🤯
The ocean is horrifying and insanely intriguing. That's why it's called the abyss
It's called The abyss because it's short for abyssopelagic. Did you even watch the video?
Before watching I'm gunna guess that it's because of two main reasons, one being that the bigger a creature is, the more room it has to grow stuff that combats the immense pressure. The second being that bigger creatures tend to have longer lifespans and thus more time to find a mate and reproduce in the vast nothingness down there. Adding onto the latter, bigger creatures tend to take more time to develop and be independent, so with less predators they have the opportunity to grow a bit slower

How charming, a very collective and a rather interesting take on such a plentiful environment, genuinely love it 🙏🏻
Especially the witty humour at the end, very lovely.
Can you imagine coming eye-to-30 centimetre eye with a colossal squid when on a dive??
Stuff from nightmares…
It will just eat us lol😂
The water would turn brown and a little bit of yellow, I am utterly afraid of cephalopods. And yet I'm still fascinated by them.
And see how it swims away from you in fear
Wow, did you see that at 3:00? The way the jellyfish moved through the water was absolutely mesmerizing! It’s incredible how graceful these creatures are. 🌊✨ I always learn something new from this channel about the wonders of the deep sea. 🌟
That was amazingly well done and super informative, loved it
Stephanie Sammann's narration is absolutely perfect, such a sweet voice and calming. Thank you for the narration :)
Videos like these make me realize even more the extent of the damage we've done to our environment and how important it is to preserve these ecosystems for our own wellbeing. It also fascinated me in general learning about all the different ways these deep sea creatures survived and caught their prey. This was astoundingly educational; oceanic life is way more complex and interesting than a lot of people can fathom.
The camera work at 1:40 is simply amazing!
