10 Minutes of Fascinating Deep-Sea Animals | Into The Deep

[That_Doctor_Del_Fella]

I love the deep sea. Almost everything down there looks like an alien creature from a sci-fi movie.

[farmerjohn]

What I find so fascinating is how these seemingly fragile-looking creatures are able to withstand water pressures that would crush us instantly.

[calvinlowe]

I would like to personally thank whoever did the closed captioning. You went above and beyond and there's a special place in heaven for people like you.

[codfunnyndstuffs]

It's crazy how the darkest part of the ocean has the most beautiful creatures!

[mildlymarvelous]

I absolutely cannot get over the peacock squid. It looks like something straight out of Subnautica, not something that lives on Earth! The strawberry squid is probably my second favorite. It is the exact texture of a strawberry, and those mismatched eyes are crazy!

[alveolate]

thank you for including timestamps and sizes! had no idea those chimaerae were actually quite large... and that crystal amphipod being over a foot long seems pretty big for an almost entirely transparent crustacean!

[harrietharlow]

Just a lovely, relaxing ten minutes (well, OK, 9:53) observing deep sea life. No overblown commentary or loud, obnoxious soundtrack--just nice music and ID for each species shown. When younger, my dream job would have been working as an oceanographer at MBARI. Almost 40 years later, at pushing 70, I still think that.

[bogusmcbogus]

What's so incredible is the same thread of life that made them is shared with everything on the Earth, including humans. It's mind blowing.

[darlingicarus]

I always think "surely I've already seen all the strangest deep sea creatures" and then I'll watch another MBARI video and realise there's still so many weird and wonderful creatures out there 😂 thank you for posting this fantastic footage, it makes me excited to be alive knowing that I share the planet with such incredible things!

[MontereyBayAquarium]

We could watch this all day—and we just might 👀

[lesmith]

Beautiful!! I appreciate the calm music, no talking and enough info to make this a very enjoyable view.

[richardduffy]

This is such a great example of proof of the unknown. The fact that these are deep sea creatures and also super high quality shots of them! I can honestly say that this is the first list I've seen with such detailed video of them. Thank you for sharing!

[ronink]

The mystery, the unparalleled beauty of these wondrous creatures never fails to inspire me to create.
As a digital artist I have found this channel most fascinating; the worlds oceans are so vast and as of yet mostly unexplored.
Kudos to MBARI for bringing them to us, your hard work is very much appreciated.

[rayfairbanks]

The extreme diversity of life is SO fascinating! Imagine what these creatures can sense and what they perceive when they come across man made objects. That was a very exciting video. Thanks for including the size and depth info, that made the video a lot more entertaining!

[skellyboy_official]

2:05 The blue shark was a paid actor!

[atomicplaygirl]

7:35 and 8:50 It is so relaxing watching the way these creatures propel themselves through the water. Beautiful film from beginning to end. ❤❤❤

[rs]

It's fascinating to me how I have no sense of scale for these amazing creatures, so little frame of reference. The black sea devil angler fish (1:04) being just 6cm took me completely out!

[maryjanegreen]

I would stream videos like this on my TV all day if I could. This is absolutely stunning and the music is perfect.

[shimihi]

3:44
Looks like he knows something we don't

[heynhamnham]

It's wonderful to imagine that there's life overflowing these deep dark waters, unbelievable that so many creatures can live in such place that looks so dead but at the same time so full of life
