The Top 10 Deep-Sea Animals (according to Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute scientists)

[@MontereyBayAquarium]

What's your favorite deep-sea animal?! 👀

[@rhondahuggins9542]

I am a 'die-hard' octopus nerd!😍🐙 But other cephalopods and siphonephores (?sp) are a close 2nd. LOL Thanks for your work💙

[@louckykoneko]

I'm a big fan of anything jellyfish or cephalopod, but honestly all deep sea creatures fascinate me

[@henrytheanglerfish6290]

Myself

[@zooemperor3954]

I’m a fan of the Viperfish, Rattail fish, and the Humboldt squid, but all deep sea creatures are fascinating in my opinion

[@alexx.476]

I'm a fan of the giant siphonophore.

[@MBARIvideo]

Thanks for helping us share what makes these amazing deep-sea animals so lovable!

[@matts9421]

This is excellent content Monterey team!!! I really think more short form entertaining content like this will catch more attention than the live streams. I myself am a member and I really miss going btw.

[@vegan_witch]

This video made my day!

[@mikkilewis5312]

Such fabulous beauty you've shared. Thank you!

[@VanitasVeritas]

You guys all bring me such unspeakable amounts of joy. I would die for any one of these nifty, lovely, adorable little creatures. Thank you all for sharing.

It felt like super well made documentary on Netflix and I enjoyed it so much that I wish it was longer. Thank you for making and sharing this amazing vid and wish to see more like it! (Also, please invite some MBARI scientists to next ABZU streams please?)

[@henrytheanglerfish6290]

EXCELLENT list! I got to learn about a couple new deep sea creatures! But disappointed I wasn’t on the list, but I guess we anglerfish would be a really obvious pick

[@zooemperor3954]

Love the Pacific Viperfish! Though I wish the rattail fish and Humboldt squid got on here. Nice list by the way

[@pinkwings8036]

Vampire squid have awesome “capes” between their tentacles, that feels very vampire to me.

[@Shane-el7wy]

They also have fins on their heads that resembe vampire bat ears.

[@Kevin-hx2ky]

I do hope that you guys find more species of animals down there. I'd really love to see one of those big anglerfish species (although i think Ceratiid anglers live much further north). Maybe even the Untouchable Dragonfish... who knows!

[@Linda98671]

I was so very entertained by your entire video. Thank you .🦑🐬🐡🦀🦐

[@bonitogeneration]

he's just standing there... _menacingly_

[@naturelover-pt7dp]

Incredible and amazing! They look like from another planet. Thanks for sharing

[@mylifeisdinosaurthemed2883]

OBSESSED with strawberry squid 🍓 🦑

[@strawbself]

same i love that its eyes are like this o_O

[@victoriabarclay3556]

That was so amazing. Thank you!

[@celticpeasant9753]

Everything is so amazing. I absolutely love your website. I have so much to learn and see and I absolutely love the enthusiasm and joy in people sharing these remarkable beings. My favourite at the moment is the Flapjack Octopus. I am having so much trouble finding out more about them though. Like What does it eat? How, does it eat? How does it protect itself? It is the cutest being ever!! Also the Sea Angel is so beautiful but since its food is endangered - does that mean it is too? Thank you so much for all your information

[@andyd9204]

great video, I loved it... cpl of my favorite deep sea creatures are Clione Limacina & the Mimic Octopus 🐙

[@topazvulpix113]

ive been wondering about some of these guys, especially the barreleye, who pops up almost immediately in the 8 hour deep sea sleep aid video i love to put on. I first clicked on it thinking itd just be weird glowy jellies and squid and was surprised by a barreleye, glad i finally know what his deal is :)

[@ERYN__]

Those are pretty cool, but I was hoping the deep sea swallower would make the list.

[@MontereyBayAquarium]

We'll definitely add the asterisk that this video could also be titled "Our Top Ten (For Today)" !

[@wernervannuffel2608]

Nature reveals his treasures little by little and will never stop us to be wondered. Every discovering gives us at least three bonuspoints in the form of upcoming discoveries to be made. Nature's horizont - in the micro, meso and macro scale world - is likely to move with us and we never seems to be able to reach that horizont. In this way it will wonder us constantly as a neverending WOW-story.

[@mikeaandewiel]

Cant wait for the new exibith!!! 😍😍😍 i know it would be awesome

[@STEM-democracy]

Nature is amazing!

[@tanyawren9249]

Thank you!

[@neb3611]

[@betimussie2871]

Cool

[@manningcy5449]

I love deep sea creatures

[@blancaceja558]

Where is the frilled shark ?

[@gregorysamaniego36]

I see your cool tomopteris worm, and give you my most hated worm Planarian! The worst worm in the freshwater fish keeping world, I call it the baby eater!

[@Crytica.]

"I think they look like hearts" Well, I think they look like red testicles. Beautiful nonetheless tho
