Scientists Freak Over Swarm of Octopuses Eating Dead Whale | NowThis

Watch this swarm of octopuses devour a dead whale — and listen to the scientists flip out over it.

In US news and current events today, a group of scientists aboard the deep-sea exploration vessel Nautilus discovered a whale fall site on the seafloor that turned into a feeding site for octopuses and more strange animals. You'd have to watch National Geographic or Blue Planet to see some freaky feasts like this. The weird animals seen eating here are the result of a baleen whale dying and falling to the seafloor (aka whale fall). It's not unusual then to see bizarre animals like worms and octopus eating the whale carcass.

There's really nothing i find more heartwarming than humans with a rich knowledge of the world pointing it out to each other and smiling.

This feels like a non-chaotic 3AM discord call with a couple of friends

Love how many people don't know that scientists are usually like this irl, not the way they're portrayed in documentaries

*Finds a phenomenon not normally seen*

Scientists in documentaries: Explains complicated in depth topics on the spot with not even a bit of excitement in their voice

Actual scientists: "WOOO YEAH BABY THATS WHAT WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR WOOOO!"

“Whoa” “wooowww”” “ahhhh” . One lady said “dinner is served” IM SCREAMING . They all sound like they are voicing over the octopuses reaction to having food . This is really incredible though .

That one octopus was literally saying bye with its tentacle.

[forrest]

If you watch this listening to their voices like they are the octopus’s voices, it’s so much better

[mfenjoyer]

They sound like they're all on a Discord call 😂

Man if some documentary is made with scientists being just themselves while still sounding smart, like this one I'd watch it and even learn something ngl

"Twitter is with us right now."
Truly a scientific marvel.

Why hasn’t scientist commentary become a thing yet? These people are hilarious lol.

[BusinessMan]

Pretty cool how excited they all sounded upon seeing this sight.

The one female voice sounds like she is a 7 year little girl, then she says bacterial matter and Osedex, confirming she is a grown woman.

[tobito]

These scientists need a channel of their own so I can watch them everyday.

These people are so passionate. I love their enthusiasm

Scientists in 2019:
“This is lit. A dead carcass is being ravaged, yaassss”

[yashganar]

Scientists in movie: Silence, most of the calculation in brains and acting very mature
IRL: Woah!!!! Look there's a carpet of worms Octopus🤗👋👋🐙

[azurii]

"goodbye, we'll come back don't worry"

Octopus: "i never said i wanted you here"

I was mildly interested when I clicked on this video. Their enthusiasm is incredible. I got really sucked into the video and by the end, I was just as excited as they were! This was really cool to watch.
