5 Extraordinary Deep Ocean Creatures Encountered by ROVs in the Past 10 Years

[@pimpozza]

Hauntingly beautiful music, as always, by Jim Gifford. I still listen to the hour of original DSO music you uploaded back in March, L. It helps me sleep. That tripod fish is too weird (and amazing) for words! All these creatures are charmingly weird and beautiful. They inspire me! I wrote another little *ode to the deep..* 🤗💚 _How gently we creep in the dark and the deep.._ 🦑🦀 _And appreciate life every day.._ 🌊 _To you lot up there, who can't live without air.._ _Go mind your own business, we say!_ 🎐🐚💚💚😁

[@DeepseaOddities]

Thank you for the lovely remarks as always, Pimpozza! You are a gem🦑💚 Even though I've spent untold hours of my life listening to Jim's music in editing, I still listen to the DSO OST and his other work all the time, especially when studying and writing.

I find the deep ocean footage rather calming. Soft blues and greens, sea piggies bouncing on the floor, the slow drift of marine snow. Soothing!

[@pimpozza]

I totally agree, Scotty! 👍

I love how clear videos are now, that cusk eel almost looks like it’s floating in deep space

[@Her_Viscera]

So great that someone is sifting through all the hours of deep sea footage for the highlights, cheers!!

[@matokastee]

That 2017 Cusk Eel encounter looked magical, just imagine operating a ROV and seeing that happen before your eyes, such a beautiful creature almost like showing itself off to the cameras.

[@vccv9785]

Bro that's the most ugly looking eel I've ever seen

[@lafrenchone649]

there are many benefits to being a marine biologist

[@matokastee]

@@vccv9785 I think it’s quite beautiful, it’s movements are smooth, scales beautifully reflective and it’s so calm and it’s amazing to me that these creatures live on this planet.

[@fishslayer3528]

@@vccv9785 bro is being honest lol

[@gybx4094]

Whenever I feel lonely, I think of the creatures you show us so desperately solitary in a deep, dark world. Then I realize that I will never feel the extreme loneliness of their world.

[@mellowflu]

They might not be lonely, if it's all they've ever known.

[@venessaap25]

Their not alone it’s survival of the fittest down there with the food chain I can’t imagine being watched in the peering dark with extreme water pressure Very terrifying to think about

[@KeaveMind]

Dude If you would live down there you would be absolutely happy to be alone. Meeting another creature most likely means death.

[@murderh0b0]

You're one of my favorite channels. The vibes are immaculate- and terrifying. Thanks for existing.

[@mphmph1198]

Nailed the soundtrack. Beautiful creatures.

[@axeltellez899]

the only countdowns that i like are the ones in this channel, keep on the good work guys ❤

[@OkamiLain]

Amazing video! Amazing creatures, world and fantastic music!

[@moltenmermaid1517]

I love your videos. They always leave me on the "Cusk" of my seat. =)

[@96_stars22]

that moment when a fish roughly the size of your hand can live for up to 200 years

[@pimpozza]

Yes! I can't believe it! I thought giant tortoises were the longest living creatures on earth! _Amazing!_ I would love to know how they found that out about their longevity!! Oreos are cool! 🐟👍

[@nat-by7kt]

dude i love your videos so much because they're so interesting to me but the music is also so calming that i fall asleep. most times i'll binge watch all the videos on your channel and fall asleep on about 10 minutes, then i'll try to rewatch what i missed and fall asleep again. i love your channel so much please don't stop ever making this videos!!

[@Mia-xq8sq]

been in this community for a while and still kickin! love the content comin from ya mate!

[@jackattack8661]

Another incredible video as always. You have consistently great videos..

[@pimpozza]

I agree, Jack.. that's why this fine channel is well on the road to 200k subs!! 👍😁

[@Xiaojiantou]

Just a minor suggestion, perhaps putting the lengths of all the creatures shown.

[@cheif9OO]

Thank you so much for these videos! They continue to be a source of awe and inspiration.

[@nct948]

Whatever can exist will exist is what I cannot help thinking when seeing these extraordinary fish living happily in these extreme environments. How splendid!

[@reaperwraithdestiny]

I love ocean creatures since im young and you help me know even more about them

[@Lunasneedleandhook]

I don't know why but I always found eels to be so aesthetically pleasing...

[@JohnSmith-mk1rj]

They absolutely have an amazing symmetry to them. They look like a million years of evolution has created the perfect animal to live in water. Moray eels, many of which have mouths just chock full o' teeth, are definitely well built predators. Not a lot of things wanna mess with them. Eels do have a coolness factor that is undeniable.

[@lafrenchone649]

DSO: *play unnerving music while showing the number 2, of these never understood and maybe never understandable species, living in their own realm of dark, crushing emptiness* Me: square fish. Good fish.

[@alexbadillo9940]

Fascinating as a Puerto Rican I didn’t know there is such a thing as a Puerto Rico trench!! But I often wonder how many fish if any we lost do to the testing of nuclear bombs in the Pacific?

[@POOPGOD999]

They test bombs on oceans?

[@indythechaos1634]

@@POOPGOD999 like once or twice in the forties, fivties, sixties or somethin, lemme double check that

[@RealSquidShady]

I doubt that entire species would be removed by nuclear testing unless they’re endemic to a really small region or in small numbers, but I guess we wouldn’t really know 100%

[@alexbadillo9940]

@@POOPGOD999 yes they do and nuclear bombs at that

[@alexbadillo9940]

@@indythechaos1634 actually more recent than that because the u.s. Navy had a contract with Puerto Rico and they tested bombs next to vehicle all the time and just recently they tested in the Gulf of Mexico

[@petrektek1385]

Imagine being an ultra-spacialized fish in capturing the smallest trace of light in the abyss and being illuminated by a submarine. Probably that one thought he met God.

[@fallingcoconut5443]

The close up shot of the Ilyophis Eel with the haunting music is just sublime.

[@toxicbunny7608]

Such hypnotizing beauty, and mesmerizing mystery. I have to wonder, what secrets the void next door has held for us to discover? And also, why more of us aren't as fascinated as I am? Terrifyingly beautiful, beautifully haunting...the ocean is an amazing riddle that we may always be trying to solve. Nature is incredible.

Time to watch more amazing content while playing rimworld

[@Rikki-Tikki-Tavi]

I love how slowly everything seems to move in the deeps. I wonder why that is?

[@akirafan28]

To preserve energy maybe? 🤔

[@Rikki-Tikki-Tavi]

Yeah, you're probably right.

[@akirafan28]

I wouldn't mind more scientific research behind it. Do they preserve more energy cause it is so cold, or is it cause it's long time between meals? Or perhaps they just like to chill and let the streams take them cause they are more likely to meet others like that?

[@aubreycasler2705]

To reserve energy because of lack of food, and the cold water on cold blooded animals slows metabolism

[@nct948]

wouldn't the extreme pressure play a part in their slow movements?

[@tonydabaloney]

I can't help, but watch the customer eel swim away into the darkness and wonder, where it's going and what wonders it will see. It looked like the old wild fish of the sea that knows everything. It did look very old ,whereas the old oreo fish looked like a new born.

[@andersmoore]

I love this content. Thanks for keeping up the good work.

[@lovenikolatesla369]

The best thing about them being so far deep down in the ocean is that they're uncatchable to man because if they weren't they would be extinct too.

[@princeofcupspoc9073]

Don't worry. Global warming may kill them yet. We are in the midst of the earths biggest mass extinction event. Man made.

[@heathermcfarland9366]

So true

[@MadMatt13]

Man that Cusk Eel looks seriously pissed off...

[@murielvaillancourt3855]

I love all these wonderful abyssal animals but i prefer the cusk eel! And i want to live 240 years, like the small fish before! It’s so magical, how they seem alone in a desert, with the marine snow falling around!( Eeew! Diving trough cadaver morsels and poop! Gross!) thank you for this amazing journey in an alien world, full of so beautiful creatures, in a divine music surrounding!
