Examining the nature of the beast.

[@daniell1483]

What's even more wild is how long the squid family has been on Earth. Some of the first apex predators in history were distant relations of what we think of as "giant squids".

[@nouhorni3229]

And those had hard mineralised shells. We'll probably never know much about the soft shelled squid ancestry.

[@rhiannonm8132]

i LOVE the scientists who narrate the NOAA ROV feed, they’re so fun, i recommend everyone watch the livestreams here on youtube it’s super interesting even tho there’s rarely as much action as an entire bigfin squid! shoutout to dr. “magna peena? oh man look at him” i like her commentary a lot

[@MaliciousMollusc]

*ALL HAIL THE SQUID!!!*

[@tomholroyd7519]

Sci fi celebrates land squid. They hunt at night, why are you walking in the forest?

[@microska2656]

I freaking love your enthusiasm, keep up!

[@PirvateerKurei]

I remember watching a documentary years ago, maybe in the early 2000s about the giant squid. It looked so much like melted cheese with stringy arms and very little was known and the CGI at the time was fascinating. I hadn't heard about the colassal squid until 10 years ago and today I am learning of a 3rd relative? Amazing!

[@Preston241]

Same. What a time to be alive.

[@darkop3191]

Shorter generations with a huge size predator is crazy.

[@SorenAlba54]

The Giant Squid is basically the crown jewel for all deep sea explorers when they keep on doing their research down there. Who knows what’s truly lurking down there in the depths?

[@chanboy2524]

Ur moms the crown jewel

[@AncientWildTV]

agree, the deep sea is one of the least explored environments on Earth, and the Giant Squid represents the mysterious life forms that inhabit these depths.

[@bryantgrove6199]

Please do mountain lions next.

[@megadiabrous]

yasss i love the hair Danielle

[@seansingh4421]

Ehhh

[@disky01]

Deep-sea life is so fascinating and terrifying. Whenever I feel like I'd like to go exploring, I remember playing Subnautica and think better of it. Your hair is really cute in this one Danielle! Thanks as always!

[@Sound557]

I for one welcome our new, cephalopod overlords

[@ikej1200]

Can't be worse than our current politicians

[@YameteOniichan69]

Narwhals next PLEASE

[@crazywileycoyote]

There's another Creator who has a really really great video on them

[@YameteOniichan69]

@@crazywileycoyote link pls

[@nicholasschoonbeck6866]

The great calamari is the most ambitious human name for such a creature. lol

[@Preston241]

And apparently tastes like salted black liquorice. It would be quite something.

[@crazkurtz]

You should do an art show with all your drawings

[@JuliaCCCP]

8:51 praised be His Noodly Appendages

[@kellydalstok8900]

Ramen

[@gossamer999]

It should be pointed out that ambergris is, in the USA, illegal to possess or trade. So no career changing for any of us sadly. I believe Australia and India are the other countries that have laws against it too.

[@markedis5902]

I like the new look

[@kimbratton9620]

Your videos are always worth watching!!

[@kandrinchae]

I love your glasses! You look great! Also, love squids! I have drawn a couple kraken pieces. :)

[@shmackydoodRon]

“SQUEEED!” is what my wife says when calamari is on the menu. She likes squid.

[@DeleriumLS]

My sons and I would love a video on Vultures, most specifically the Bearded Vulture! YAY!

[@TotallyACat]

Best video I’ve ever watched. I’m even not squiding.

[@hyperthermophile23]

This is so cool and interesting and I'm excited for the future when we know more and you can make an update video about it!

[@Marie45610]

The thing that makes the ocean scary, them and Jellyfish.

[@wanderlustwarrior]

I don't know why, but as a kid I thought squid had 6 legs. I think I might've seen a simplified image in a children's book.

[@Astrapionte]

Danielle, you are an icon and one of my biggest inspirations artistically. This colossal squid that you just drew is absolutely breathtaking!!! ❤❤💛💛

[@Dmitry-Moiseenko]

Great video, thank you!

[@J.A.Smith2397]

Great video footage!

[@huldu]

I wouldn't be surprised if they travel across dimensions.

[@blessedbeauty2293]

- I love *squid && octopus !* 🦑🐙 ♥️

[@Ssspaceform]

The Kraken Norse? I thought it was ancient Greek.

[@kurthill9070]

there's more stories in Greece regarding the kraken than Northern Europe; but they've also influenced each other far longer than the Vendal Period......so there's that

[@Wishbone1977]

Yeah, I'm wondering if that wasn't supposed to be "the sea serpent of Norse mythology", as in Jörmungandr the Midgard Serpent.

[@Ssspaceform]

@@kurthill9070 even with the same name?

[@Wishbone1977]

So, apparently the Kraken _is_ of Nordic origin (TIL), but very much _not_ from Norse mythology. According to Wikipedia: "The kraken, as a subject of sailors' superstitions and mythos, was first described in the modern era in a travelogue by Francesco Negri in 1700. This description was followed in 1734 by an account from Dano-Norwegian missionary and explorer Hans Egede, who described the kraken in detail and equated it with the hafgufa of medieval lore. However, the first description of the creature is usually credited to the Danish bishop Pontoppidan (1753). Pontoppidan was the first to describe the kraken as an octopus (polypus) of tremendous size, and wrote that it had a reputation for pulling down ships."

[@Ikascalamari]

Squid always remind me of Splatoon I love them

[@NWforager]

back in the day we had a whole trawler full of giant squids to move onto a shipping tramper . it was the most unwieldy otherworldly experience . talk about alien autopsy times 10k

[@martinsachs3837]

Measuring squid with their tentacles is like measuring the lenght of a horse with its tail and tongue stretched out. Let's stay with 250kg, the size of a dolphin.

[@Maya-ev4mn]

you're such a beauty in this episode

[@MrRedFoxorMrelzorrorojo]

Here's the thing... These cephalopods look badass AF but they are prey to Sperm Whales. So Sperm Whales are really badass.

[@SylvanDraconis]

Fun fact, the Lusca is actually supposed to be a creature with the front half of a shark and the back half of a giant squid/octopus. Think “sharktopus”

[@snowstacks]

great vid as always team 👍 love the necklace danielle

[@leannaerickson9745]

Once again you've come up with a fascinating subject. The EVNautilus channel has some interesting squid sightings, too. Did you know that Sperm Whales spout at an angle of about 45 degrees, not straight up? It's kind of hard to tell from drone photos, but the whales in the video seem to have not gotten this memo yet.🦑🐳

[@Penfold101]

The Flying Spaghetti Momster appreciates you mentioning his Noodly Appendages multiple times. Ramen.

[@gracesiegel7849]

First and foremost, I love this channel! Your videos are so much fun! They're edifying yet approachable and academic without being lecture-y or patronizing!! Keep being your epic selves I do have a fun idea that could become a series of sorts. It sometimes comes up in the behind the scenes parts or the video itself, but I'm curious about the "favorites" for the team(cast and crew) fave/least fave: animals, plants, geological history phases(?), videos to make, places to film/visit, preferences in animal/subject to film... maybe also maybe videos that involve and focus on the crew, what they do, how they got interested, what to do to do that job… That kind of thing

[@MrJones-ue2tw]

Danielle looking like a snack as usual

[@fleafrier1]

Asking once again for the epaulette shark, the cutest in the ocean.

[@DreamDaddie]

Yay! New episode!

[@Symphing12]

Could we see something about the Monodontidae? I love whales and particularly the beluga and narwhal!

[@Jaggerbush]

Danielle, you look sophisticated (and beautiful)

[@dianaskarbek2664]

She is and fabulous artist

[@QuantumCat76]

5:55 Which also makes them taste like salty licorice...which is pretty gnarly The Dutch: 😏😋🍴

[@talanigreywolf7110]

From what I've heard, the Magnapinna that have been filmed were juveniles.

[@grrlpurpleable]

Still hoping for a coffee table picture book of your awesome illustrations!

[@jessesims6232]

How long until we see a TikTok about “I just had giant squid steak at this crazy restaurant!”

[@tonydeluna8095]

Giant squids kind of reminds me of the Great Cthulhu and the other great old ones

[@markg1490]

Excellent video

[@BlackReaper0]

I love these guys

[@ivanov1112]

I remember that first video in 2004 in the dawn of the smartphone era. I thought it was the coolest footage I had seen in my life at the time. Maybe it's because I live in the Midwest and the closest I've been to a squid is the nearest Asian restaurant... It's sad really

[@Mkaythen]

🧽: Eeh Squidward? 🐙: “I’m not a squid you dolt!”

[@MMPAspergerian]

Thank you DD!

[@chaosmarklar]

I for one welcome our new tentacled overlords, in a few hundred million years when they are the dominant life form and start space travel

[@alsigerpro]

isopod next

[@rynieryarom4277]

I love that as camera became more accessible and powerful, giant squid sighting increase. And krakens are confirmed reals not just orcas penises

[@deborahdanhauer8525]

[@supertyfon1736]

I wonder if you guys will make an episode on howler monkey's.

Magrathea?!?!? 42!!!

[@rossgraham7649]

Green Basilisk up next please...!!!!!!!

[@QUIRK1019]

You want a weird looking animal to profile? How about the Hammer-Headed Bat? I know there's not a whole lot to fill out a whole episode, but I figure if y'all can make a full episode out of Mule Deer, you can do anything.

[@trevoranthonisen9804]

Lovely Squids! Please do the Ratal next🙏🙏"Honey Badger" international.

I like 'em. In a sandwich. They're crunchy. Nom, nom.

[@rubenkoker1911]

tastes like salty liquorice you say? i think plenty of dutch and finnish people would like to eat a gians squid

[@mikejanson3052]

Sea serpent is the oarfish not the giant squid.

[@the_once-and-future_king.]

Norse mythology? Erm, Danielle, I think Poseidon would like a word with you...

[@kurthill9070]

Greek culture influencing other cultures and working together towards a syncretic society? unheard of. ...or at least it would be unheard of have you not done your proper due research.

[@thanos8914]

*Wubba-lubba-dub-dub Beaches Am Thanos Rick!!!*

"Let's focus on the ones that fascinated seamen." *giggle snort* hehehehe.... semen...

[@garyhamilton2104]

Why not an ep on collosal sqauid

[@dinosaurb]

this is a weirdly mild request but: jackrabbits? you only seem to learn about them in terms of being prey, for other animals or humans, and like nothing else. barely any videos about them

[@calvinbrodhead6199]

I love your channel I love your content and I also love your artwork and with all due respect I have a massive crush on you. You seem like a great person

[@michaeldowd8422]

Then, of course, there's the ' Really, Really super humongous squid. And the 'Holy Crap, we're all gonna die squid. 😊

[@GaasubaMeskhenet]

YAY

The Kraken is real. It's a giant squid. 🦑💙
