SEA DEVILS FROM THE DEEP

Devilfish and Sea Devils. These frightening fish swim in the waters of the deep and their methods of hunting and reproduction are pretty unique. Find out more about what’s lurking in the depths.

If you want to dig deeper into everything about deep-sea anglerfish I recommend trying to get your hands on a copy of Theodore W. Pietsch’s Book…Oceanic Anglerfishes: Extraordinary Diversity in the Deep Sea.

How are Anglerfishes born?
Every time I see one of these vids about them, they talk about the lure, the dimorphic, and the sea depth but never the offspring.

[Mrwafflez]

Do you have a video about parasites or squid? If you don't I think either one would be a great idea

[zhanghuangdi]

To continue the theme of bizarre ocean creatures, maybe you could talk about the barreleye fish!

[defbored]

Is this the first time you make a cameo in a video? I've been subbed for a while and I don't think I've ever seen your face.

Reege what intro song is at the beginning of video

[abjuron]

Periodical Cicadas.

I am a bit or a fan of the 13-year and 17-year cicadas. When you get into it, they are some of the most intriguing and frankly amazing evelutionary specimens of insect around.

[XxANTMsmizExX]

I miss your old calming voice that everyone hates :(

[nigelperren]

The male and female Anglerfish relationship mirrors David purkiss and Lisa good mans, along with the proportions!

[mitjakocjancic]

Now that's a strong, dominant female. The feminists should all move to the depts of the ocean.

[joewillis]

you should do an episode about a cool species of snake or something xD

[l.pmoonstone]

Where did the original animal wire host go?

[thepap]

[MrGrey-sdkv]

Hey did you know that haters thought you were a monotone robot?

[Armmotto]

At first, I thought the narrator is the sea devil.
