There are angler fish species - example: Melanocetus johnsonii - that don't have parasitic males. I'm not sure if any of the species outside Ceratioidei have them

[@Seamemaria]

Yeah, you are right. Only some Ceratiodei species are known to have parasitic males.

[@vangu2918]

I think the strategy of multiple males is perfect since it is so rare for them to find each other. It helps with genetic diversity.

[@nunyabidness674]

Depending on who you ask, it could be argued the the genus Homosapien has parasitic males... and parasitic females too.

I know of a diver who quit diving altogether after encountering a pack of humbolt squid as far as the eyes could see. They began flashing and he carefully crept back up to the surface. And hopped in the boat and was like I’m never diving again. He was one wrong move away from being attacked by hundreds of them. He said “when you enter the ocean, you enter the food chain”

[@sonicartzldesignerclan5763]

Unrealistic they can mean harm but like with shark and most animals they are not as dangerous as you all believe cause of movies. They can be but 9,2 times its just a normal encounter A bull shark is more aggressive and still you only have like 1 - 3 bull shark incidients each year. If he was that way down he needed to make decom stops multiple times Meaning it dosnt make a difference if they wanted to harm him thy would had. They 100% knew he was there they can see more in water then we since they live there of course. For me this sound like a woobie doobie ghost story of somebody who was never diving.

They've been known to attack divers and even pursue them all the way to the surface. We believe the reflective properties of most diving gear is why Humboldt squid attack people. The squids can communicate with each other via bioluminescence, so shiny diving gear is interpreted as aggression.

I don't like swimming in the ocean. The first time I did I was in the Philippians and the locals told us of the jellyfish that populated the area. They informed us that they were pretty much harmless. They could and would sting, but the stings were basically like a mosquito bite, they'd itch for a while then go away. I swam out for quite a ways, then treaded water to rest for a bit. When the water calmed and I saw what was around me, there were *hundreds* of them. I decided to slowly make my way away from the swarm and I turned to swim away and I slapped the top of one's head. Now, I was not a fast swimmer. I was a strong swimmer but I was slow...I was a fast swimmer that day. I went back to shore and stayed out of the water.

[@IMADINOSAURNOTABIRD]

Good thing sharks are typically quite friendly

[@sonicartzldesignerclan5763]

Youre mentioning sharks cause youre following mainstream thoughts. Let me tell you something There are onl y 6-15 incidents each year with sharks And most are accidents through their test bite Since sharks dosnt have arms of course they use other methods to test things out. Well that dosnt mean it will come up and bite you every time a shark appear But if you lure a shark with specific methods like a bottle or fish box They dont come naturally and investigate you out of curiosity You lure them and they come in hunter mode And can hardly difference between you as a human thats not his food and the things you as human used to lure him. Of course the chance to get bitten is high And of course most times incidents happen it was through such things with amateur diving leader wanting to show of the sharks to tourists and stuff. Trust me the chance that dolphin will have special playtime with you is far more high then a shark attacking you. Id personally take my chance rather with a shark then with a dolphin that is highly intelligent and has fun out of making other animals suffer. And with suffer and special playtime yes i mean they will make you their little toy it happened already you can google it up.

[@johnathanfoster4993]

You people should be watching a "reacts to" video for the person reacting and not the videos they're reacting to, that makes literally zero sense, you can quite easily go find the videos that these people are reacting to and watch them for yourself especially given that a good reaction channel like this one will go out of their way to link the original channels in the description as well as the videos themselves. If you click on a reaction video and get upset about the person's reaction it's literally entirely your fault and not even remotely theirs, go watch the videos yourselves if you want the information from the videos themselves, and leave the reaction videos for until afterwards. What you're asking for is ostensibly for her to steal other people's content by showing it in full and uninterrupted and saving anything that would be transformative for afterwards, which evidently you have no interest in.

I did a stint in a marine bio lab as a volunteer assistant for school credit back in high school. That taught me that dead, decaying crabs are among the most revolting smells out there (I still can't eat crab legs or softshell crab or anything else that looks too much like a whole crab over 30 years later) and that marine biology is a deeply fascinating science that is best practiced by other people.

[@blahorgaslisk7763]

When I see a squids eyes I'm just so envious. Their eyes are a lot better designed than ours are. In fact their eyes are not related to ours. That part of creatures split from our trunk in the tree of life before eyes were developed. So they had to develop eyes on their own. In other words they are really as far from our eyes as the facet eyes of insects are. And the eye construction they use are better than ours in just about every way. The only problem I think they have are a very short lifespan. A bit more life and a slightly more robust brain and they would be competing for apex predator on earth.

[@immortaljanus]

When I was still at the uni (studying geophysics) I snuck in a biology seminar where they showed results of optical research of animal eyes. They came to the conclucion that 21cm is the biggest diameter an eye can have and still produce meaningful focus, after that the optical properties go down with size. But the giant squid's eyes are 23cm in diameter. So the question they put forth was: why would nature develop eyes that are no longer offering good sight? Well, at the depth where the giant squid lives, natural light is almost nonexistent. The only light produced is by bioluminescent plankton and that emits light when it's disturbed. What disturbs plankton? The sperm whale, passing through it. So squid eyes have sacrificed focus for greater surface in order to detect plankton lighting up from furthest possible distance. All a squid has to do is swim in the opposite direction.

In case you accept some constructive criticism: Interruptions aren't a problem, it's a reaction video, they're supposed to come with the package 🙂What is though, a bit of a nuisance, is when you speak over the other guy's voice, or at the same time, because the result is... a blob of nothing. On one hand, I don't get to hear what the guy was saying, and on the other one, I don't get the point of what you're saying, because welp, of the former. _Au Contraire,_ as others mentioned, I did like that despite knowing so much, you're humble hearted and don't have an issue in admitting that you just learnt something new.

i love those deapsee oddities. not mentioned which im sad about is the 6 gill shark, which could be mistaken for a megladon because they apparently can grow pretty big. they are bottom feeders and are found at extreme depths. occasionally they pop up on undersea cameras where bait is used coming in for a quick snack before vanishing into the dark again.

[@hartheffe]

They come up shallow to spawn here in the Puget sound. They get big, but not that big. Amazing creatures though, I saw one washed up once.

“…their eyes are so cute! Look at it!”. It’s staring into my soul. 😳🫥💀… 😆

Did not see this crossover coming. Been watching you since the first Subnautica, and caught casual geographer shortly after he started putting his stuff on KZbin. This made my night.

[@asceticblur]

Loved this! So glad I found your channel. My extremely limited faith in humanity is somewhat restored because amazing scientists like you are out there trying to better understand the vast unknown that is the deep ocean.

[@robertaylor9218]

I always thought the toothed suction cups were the creepiest things about squids. Though the beaks and giant eyes are close behind. Tentacles are scary enough. Adding suction cups is just unfair and OP. Adding teeth to the suction cups… well it makes the thought of being nabbed as prospective prey a lot more nightmare inducing. Even if you escape.

8:55 That was hilarious how he called you out specifically for trying to correct him lol.

[@Bellz972]

😂 That was such a good video honestly, ❤

[@RockyMountainBear]

I already respect you more than most scientists I have met, because you know it's okay to say "we don't really know this," or "we think this due to..., but we're not really sure." I was beginning to think a requirement of getting a PhD was to deny that there might be some things -humans- scientists don't know. Also, many scientists don't really know the definition of "theory." I am going to stop there, because you're awesome & I am not going to transfer my bad experiences with scientists onto you. Rock on. Never stop learning. Stay cool. Squid eyeballs are creepy af.

My family has a running joke about seeing a giant squid fighting a sperm whale in the bay every time we visit the ocean. Been going on for 20 years 😊

My first thought when I clicked this was, "She's gonna call every one of them cute, isn't she?" so I laughed pretty hard at 11:47

[@alveolate]

the deep sea also has a TON of surprisingly beautiful creatures! as a faithful watcher of MBARI and EVNautilus videos, the sponges/corals are just mesmerising... why are they even so colourful?? it's not like there's ever enough light for any pistol shrimp to see the colours... someone should do an opposite version of the "unspeakable horrors" type videos and talk about the unexpected beauty!

[@MarleyG-sj8xi]

This is such a good vid I’m a gorge fan…you should do more videos of his ❤

[@Ace-ace-baby]

Okay so I LOVE the barrel eyed fish bc I used to watch Wild Kratts and they had an episode where they went to the deep sea and saw one and the animation was so cute I can’t❤

[@chocolatefrenzieya]

CasGeo is one of my fav KZbinrs, and you make a great mix with him!

[@rridderbusch518]

She talked over him too much. That's rude. I won't go to her channel again.

[@alganhar1]

I learned that your bookshelves look similar to mine. A ton of file folders, I presume most of which are holding journal articles, and books crammed into every possible space a book can be crammed!!! EDIT: Not being facetious there, I did not know the Frill Shark had the longest gestation period of any animal known, but I am passingly familiar with everything else that was mentioned, though my specialisation is in cold water biology, and specifically the role of Phenotypic Plasticity. However, I digress. I brought the bookshelves up because they are very similar to mine, your office space seems more... organised than mine though. I tend to have open books and journal articles scattered on every available surface many brutally scarred by passing's of various highlighter pens devastating their pages, as well as marker tabs for specific pages and so on! Oh, and to follow an ancient tradition, hand written notes (and sometimes refutations) hurriedly scribbled in the margins (with helpful arrows). Yeah, I am what you could term a chaotic researcher!!!

[@der.kdf.brother]

I love it how you love the Ocean and everything in it so much. You have this so innocent amazement which is endearing. On the other hand I have to agree with the dude, I also find it a terrifying place. Maybe it's interesting to do some research to why so many people are horrified by the Ocean.

[@extraterrestrialfascisti7625]

I went to the extreme deep of the sea and I can confirm the horrors are unspeakable. I can type them, write them down, draw them, paint, but I can't speak of the horrors!

[@theangryconstitutionalist583]

This is the first video of yours I've ever watched, and it is about one of my very favorite subjects. Question- where can I get your children's books, and how many have you written? I have a three-year-old niece, and I'm trying to find things for her birthdays and Christmas that will be educational but also be in her age range. Those deep-sea books seems like the perfect fit for what I'm looking for. Have a good day!

[@g1ng3r_b1tch]

there’s a link in the description of this video for where to buy the book! hope your niece loves it :)

[@EresirThe1st]

It’s in the description

[@Tranquil_Emergence]

It’s horrifying to know that you won’t be alive to even witness such a sighting

[@aaronmadden7583]

I love how she says let's stop interrupting and immediately interrupts

[@ikb9386]

First time viewer and love the informative reaction! I don’t know if anyone has ever mentioned this, but your accent and features really had me second guessing if you were another youtuber, Lizzie Ens and she was a marine biologist but just never mentioned it on her other channel. 😂

[@Hei1Bao4]

Something kinda novel to me is the "echo scattering layer" which doesn't seem to get mentioned very often when talking about the deep. I think it's fascinating - just the estimated biomass of that layer.
