You sound VERY convincingly like the VA for Wallow from Bravest Warriors. Which is especially funny considering the character is into biology too, so its easy to imagine him making videos like this. Extra layer of fun
Caspar Abelmann Most likely wherever life exists, you will find that evolution produces similar structures, strategies and behaviour. To name an example, you will probably find eyes on almost anything, since the sense of sight is extremely beneficial. It is estimated that eyes have evolved independently several times on Earthbound life. This phenomenon is called convergent evolution.
Great video! I'd rather call the tactic used by phasmids and other insects imitating plants or parts of the environment mimesis though. The bee example however was mimicry.
+Pfeffrika Thank you for your note on the distinction between mimicry and mimesis. To clarify the terms technically, if the model resembles an organism that the dupe actively avoids (like a bee), is known as mimicry. When the model resembles an aspect of their environment that the dupe is unconcerned with (like a stick or leaf), the specific term is mimesis. We apologize for the generalization. Unfortunately we are unable to make changes to the text overlay on the video without reposting a new video. However, we greatly appreciate your feedback and are glad you enjoyed our production. Stay tuned for more!
The Colossal squid look so fearsome with its claw-like appendages on its arms and tentacles The Humboldt squid could had eat the smaller Chiroteuthis squid The Chiroteuthis squids attract their preys with their tentacles and they are basically the anglerfish of the cephalopod world
OK so imagine your say a ocean Hatchetfish whose scales are like shiny silver mirrors and you Live In an environment where it deep dark blue having a shiny reflective surface will reflect the color of the deep waters and thus rendering you invisible because it reflects the darkness that how it doesn't have the opposite effect its just a matter of angling your body in a specific way that light doesn't illuminate you, but of course having a mirror like body isn't the only way to camouflage you in the Twilight or midnight Zone being transparent like some deep sea squid like in this video or have a dark red color like vampire squid or some jellyfish species since red isn't available to see in the dark blue ocean and is lost having red colored bodies makes the animal completly black in the water or use bioluminescence in the Twilight Zone where only 1.1% of sunlight can penetrate that far so if your light is the same color as the surrounding illuminated water your basically invisible.
What would it take for a private citizen to get a ride on that submersible 🤔💭💭💭 hmmmmm I would love to see all that for myself. It would be like going to Mars LoL
nature just have to keep the balance lol nature is like “nope not having a predator is completely op so ill just let the babies to have predator free until their adult stage”
@@MBARIvideo Is the resemblance to a fish mimicry to go along with the transparency? 'I'm invisible! Oh, you see me? Well, I'm a fish! A really bad-tasting fish.'
Is it because scientists (and doctors) have bad handwriting that they need to name their animals (and medicines) with complex names to make them legible enough through the 'shape' of the word? C'mon - "Chiroteuthis calyx"? Or "Levobupivacaine hydrochloride" (some type of local anaesthesia). Haha, I'm joking. Great video! :)
1:54 That's stunningly beautiful. MBARI's videos never fail to induce awe in me.
And that clip right after at 1:58 is absolutely horrific. I sure am glad I don't live in the deep sea.
You perfectly transcribed what I was thinking
+Bone Alias I'd totally live in the deep sea ! I wish I was a siphonophore 0..0
@@thomasdavis8940 Did BBC Blue Planet actually filmed an anglerfish eating an octopus ??
This video was just perfect. Very informative and interesting to look at. Keep up the great work.
"To avoid predators... and us." Ahah xD
Great information and perfect shot without disturbing the siphonophores!

this is amazing, great channel, thank you for sharing

Funny how this tactic is seen everywhere, deep sea or land creatures, pretty cool. :)
Yup, evolutionary strategies are ubiquitous.
***** I wonder, would extraterrestrials use these tactics and strategies too? ;o

No we don't. Sorry I mean, maybe they don't. At least not when they are on Earth.
Awesome videos guys!
Awesome!

These animals are fantastic!!!And fantastic video! ;)
Wonderful video very interesting and informative.
Thanks for sharing. Never ceases to amaze me how evolution has enabled species to survive and succeed in hostile environments.

0:29 how do reflective surfaces conceal themselves from predators? wouldn't it have the opposite effect

I'm amazed at the quantity of stuff floating around down there. Life forms and or crap from above falling to the ocean floor?
Yes, it's called marine snow.

Wow!
please more videos :D
So cute
Ongelooflijk wat ik zie ,zo diep in de zee zo
Prachtig .

Trong veo ! Rất đẹp !
What´s that fish (?) at 0:28?
That is a cockatoo squid, Galiteuthis phyllura.
MBARI It does look like a cockatoo after all. I suppose that "crest" is actually the bunched tentacles?
