9 Deep Ocean Jellyfish & Siphonophores Found by ROVs in Japan 🇯🇵

Another foray into Japan's deep waters, including some truly extreme, abyssal depths, results in even more strange and unexpected life forms, including both deep jellies and siphonophores-- and ending on one of the first creatures to be featured on and fascinate this channel.

How incredible it is that jellies are mainly made up of water and have no brain, heart, bones or eyes.. yet their network of cooperative nerves somehow allows them to perform the tasks required and control behaviours like feeding and swimming.. it's simply extraordinary! I'm in total awe of them, even though they apparently sting 150 million people a year.. and I'm one of them.. 🤦🏻‍♀️😆 How I enjoyed these clips of medusas and siphonophores gently going about their daily lives to hauntingly beautiful music.. Thank you, as always, my dearest DSO.. 👏🎵👍🤗💚🦑

[@DeepseaOddities]

Thanks so much for always watching, old timer ^_^ your comments make my day! 💚

[@pimpozza]

@@DeepseaOddities 🤗 Well, this channel never fails to make my day.. with mesmerising footage and music to match.. I drift off into a very peaceful place whenever I watch... I will always grateful to you! 🙏💚🦑🎵

[@ubisoftplayer1717]

i've never been able to keep my eyes off of siphonophores since seeing the iconic capture from japan all the way back which I'm sure you'll have an image of immediately. they're just so alien to look at and honestly I can't believe I never would have known about them if not for this channel lol

[@chrischibnall593]

I first came across them as drawings in Ernst Haeckel's " "Kunstformen Im Natur": he, also, seems to have been in love with them. Amazing to see them now in life!

[@pimpozza]

👍 Siphonophores are one of the oddest oddities of the deep.. They are biological miracles! I could watch them for hours.. so this video was a real treat..

[@alanatolstad4824]

It's easy to understand your fascination!

[@jpk2145]

I love the background music. It just makes me thing about how truly vast the ocean is and these things are just out there floating all by themselves

[@whitneylake2107]

My favorite is the Deepstarria Enigmatica. It looks almost like an empty plastic bag yet how it expands like it could envelop something many times its size. Extraordinary !

[@bloodvypa783]

My most appreciative thanks goes out to you all at DSO for putting together these seriously awesome uploads for us all to enjoy, your time, effort & hard work is much appreciated. I absolutely love getting the notification that a new upload is available from you. Your uploads are always a feet up do not disturb full screen watch. I con not thank you all enough for what you do for us. mesmerizingly beautiful as always, thank you.

[@Jacob-Simonsen]

Love this channel!

[@Ramonizado]

Jellyfishes!!!! 😍😍😍 I have been waiting for this video for so long. Huge thanks! 🙏🏻

[@ghastlyderp2637]

That last one reminds me of a nascent butterfly from Elden Ring, so fascinating yet simple

[@richardletaw4068]

Yayee! Another new DSO, just in time to enjoy over a leisurely meal! The jellies go especially well with the ethereal music. I don’t know what led you to do this at all, or in the WAY you do it-but I am truly grateful that you do. Thank you!

[@michaelod8841]

music in these videos BUSSIN AFFFFFFFFFFFF

[@timothytosser288]

The coolest things ever tbh

[@Cblock3994]

23:39 what an amazing creature

[@antvn222]

Deserves more views

[@native989]

The music at 18:35 is hauntingly beautiful..ive listened to it 6 times in a row!

[@KingfisherA538]

Siphonophores are so Amazing!! Do you know what other creatures begin with S? 🤔 The STOAT!! 😻 Mr DSO, do you know what Stoats are?

[@pimpozza]

Kingfisher, have you got a pet stoat by any chance? 😁👍 PS) Oh, I am sure Mr DSO knows what they are.. 😂 but is it true that a male stoat is called a "Jack" and a female a "Jill"? 🤔😆

[@pimpozza]

Here's a limerick I wrote just for you, Kingfisher!! _Mr stoat on the hunt for a bite,_ _Caught a rat then he got a great fright!_ 🐀 _For "pop went the weasel"_ _As down swooped an eagle.._ 🦅 *And had double supper that night!* 🤭 (Ok, ok.. it didn't REALLY happen.. 🤦🏻‍♀️😆.. or DIT IT?)

[@KingfisherA538]

@@pimpozzayes, as a stoat enthusiast I can confirm🫡 Also stoats are amazing swimmers 🦑, I hope one day dso can feature them as a bonus creature !

[@pimpozza]

@@KingfisherA538 I heard they're good swimmers.. but would they be able to take a dive into the abyss.. 🤔😄

[@oldladylovesBruno]

They say that jellyfish don't have brains. But how could they move, swim, eat, or react if they had no awareness? Maybe their brains are so totally different from our understanding of what a brain looks like. Maybe I'm naive, but I find it hard to believe they don't have brains.

[@pimpozza]

I always think it's incredible how jellyfish are 95% water with no brain, heart, bones or eyes, Sandra.. and yet they function perfectly well with their two nervous systems! One of evolution’s simplest designs but survivors through Earth's catastrophes for hundreds of millions of years.. they are simply AMAZING! 🎐👍🙋🏻‍♀️

[@herbbirdsfoot]

“Brain” is a scientific term with a definition that includes certain biological organs found in nature but excludes others. Bacteria can swim, eat, react, etc but they have no brain nor even anything that scientists would recognize as “nerves.” That’s the amazing thing about natural selection: it results occasionally in vastly different biological “solutions” for living and reproducing. Never underestimate the diversity of life forms out there! The number of large (visible) unknown oddities in the deep sea is impressive but think about the number of microscopic organisms that have never been cultured and that exist right now in your nearby park, lake, etc. Mindblowing and humbling. Humans are just one species out of millions (and inarguably the worst in terms of destruction of the environment).

[@Nefertiti0403]

Me too

[@johnproctor6438]

They don’t have brains. Turns out, you don’t need one.

[@kaelhooten8468]

Each of your cells functions just fine on its own, doing incredibly complex things without brains or nerves or anything like that. Nervous systems are just needed when things get large, is all.

[@AdrianCarlisle]

I wish i was down there so quiet 😍

[@user-je5do6jn2f]

It's a Metroid!

[@Vikingcat01]

Some of these are truly more Alien than the face hugger from Alien. You could easily take any of these as designs for horror films because Japan do " Crazy " better than anyone else.

[@tomasgeraldis]

Hey mate can you please make a video on whales on deep waters??

[@peterson8261]

Bom dia ao canal Deepsea Oddities com um video interessante sobre as incríveis espécies de Jellyfish. Essa Deepstaria Enigmática é bem diferente e vivem em regiões bastante profundas. É incrível como são adaptadas para viver em uma pressão tão extrema. Os ROVs captam imagens perfeitas e com isso conseguimos ter uma noção do que existe lá embaixo. Cada video uma nova experiência com DeepSea Oddities.

[@HazelnutPohl]

Fascinating

[@malcolmt7883]

I wonder if floating deep sea animals have any sense of up or down.

[@LisaJones-wr9vp]

Dumb question.... does the light hurt their eyes like it would ours?

[@TylerHarris-yy7uf]

Jelly Fishing! Jelly Fishing! Jelly Fishing! Jelly Fishing! Jelly Fishing! Jelly Fishing! 🥅🪼🌊

[@samanthawhitman5312]

Are they glowing or does the cam lights just make it look like it.

[@GTvsForza]

Most Siphonophores and Deep Sea Jellies are bioluminescent. If they are, they would shut off the lights on the Rover to get a better shot.

[@teec420]

How big are these creatures?

[@GTvsForza]

Deep sea Jellies can range from a few inches to a couple feet, the biggest being about 30 ft from bell to tentacles. Siphonophores vary greatly and could reach up to a few hundred feet if able.
