This Fish Kills All Whales, Attacks Any Ship, Lays Tens of Millions of Eggs and Has no Growth Limit

Me father a seaman during WW1 with HRM Merchant marines. He told me about all of adventures of which there were many. He told me once off the coast of Vietnam towards Malaysia, he was in 60 foot waters he could see the ocean bottom in clear waters. He saw one that scared the HELL out of him! Said it was massive and monstrous. As big as the steam/sail freighter he was on. It followed the ship for days. He said he expected it to attack most likely at night and he was too afraid to sleep. As they went into deeper waters visibility was not very good and the crew lost sight of it. As a child to see father was scared as he told me this story sitting on our front porch, I believed him.

In ‘84 on our way to Puerto Rico from Texas, I was engineer on a tug towing large petroleum barges. I wandered to the wheelhouse early AM and gave the mate a break to perform his necessaries. The moon was up and as I sat watching, a creature sounded next to our vessel. Not a whale but looked more like a gigantic ray as long as the boat(130ft) I could only stare silently open mouthed as this thing glided along with us.I was too stupefied to put the searchlite on and was still in shock when the mate returned.

the sound waves that the sonars produce are so strong that they could literally melt your brain, so no wonder the squid attacked the ship to destroy it

7:45 - A friend of mine who was part of a submarine crew remarked that there are things down there as big, if not bigger, than their submarine. The neoprene 'boot' on the sonar dome is regularly shredded by things in the deep and they've found those 'sucker teeth' in it that are more than six inches from tip to root... Considering each sucker can have more than a dozen such teeth it is worrying that something that big is down there.

The attack on this naval vessel gives credence to stories told by sailors on sailing ships of times gone by, who claimed that some ships were attacked by giant squids which they called kraken.

7:30 correction, other squids have been found with hooks in their arms and tentacles (Ex: robust club hooked squid), its just that colossal squid is the only one known with hooks that are rotatable

I met some Mexicans who used to be fishermen in the Gulf of Baja. They said they stopped and became agricultural workers out of fear. I asked them what they were afraid of and they told me Humboldt squid they indeed called Devil fish. They said they are getting more aggressive as rhe waters get over fished and prey was getting harder to come by. One said his brother was pulled over board by one and killed. After that he was done going out to fish.

One of my uncles in the British Merchant Marine in WWII. He had stories of sailors being pulled below by large tentacles and he had a set of the strangest scares I have ever seen. He said one grabbed him after his ship was torpedoed by a U-Boat. His shipmate hit the thing with an axe he was using to chop away debris to free their lifeboat. The scars looked like the ones on that Sperm Whale.

When put in perspective, due to their incredible range of vision and the fact that almost anything in the ocean can be a predator there’s a chance that a entirely different kind of species of squid could exist and with deep sea gigantism and some fish who are unable to reach shallower depths with out potentially dying from drops in pressure there could be squids even larger than the classes of giant and colossal squid we have documented on top of not knowing how long they can live we give their growth range a mean range based on potential growth and documented size leaving us unable to fully gauge the full size or potential size of a squid and combined with predators, disease, and biological specifications it would be extremely rare to see most marine animals reach full size or even die of age in the wild. Basically natures true mystery

[czarekaj]

There is another fish that can disable even the most powerful submarine. Cookie-cutter shark is about the size of a cat that attacks whales and takes chunks of the blubber. That small shark mistook submarine for a whale and forced the ship to return to the dry dock for repair. it happened circa 2013.

This guy is a genius look at his masterpieces this person never fails to entertain us

[michaelalberson]

Absolutely awesome presentation and squids can be very deadly and scary.

[mattheweburns]

The sonar sound might have angered it or attracted it. Keep in mind that sonar is so loud it cannot be used with divers in the water for up to a mile away because it can kill them

You seriously just dropped that grenade on us all and walked away with a smile on you’re face didn’t you. 😳😏😅

[luisvelez]

When I was a child in Puerto Rico the adults would say watch out for octopus when you are at the beach. That's how paranoid they were, in the pacific side of Mexico large squids have attacked men on small fishing boats. my family had been fishing in the sea for generations, who knows what some fishermen saw 100 years ago.

[lannieharper]

That picture of a giant sea creature, looks so incredibly real, N O T

[judithcampbell]

Another perfect example of why I won't go in the ocean. There are things down there that we have no idea what they are, and the mystery should be kept just that, a mystery. Thank you very much ❤ I love your content! Please send me more!!!

Literally the only nature channel like this that never click baits. Best nature channel on the interwebs 😭😭🙏🙏

When we tested the sonar at the pier, I was required to warn divers and swimmers. The thing was so powerful that it could be used as a tactical weapon.
