Hey there! Are you watching this video because you saw that strange footage of a magnapinna squid "attacking" something? Well, I made a little update video giving my thoughts on that, which you can check out here, if you'd like: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sICwdqCklNdgqdk

This just reminded me that when my little sister was like 5 or 6 I used to watch her all the time and she was really difficult sometimes and once we were watching a giant squid documentary and she was like “is.. that real…” and i was like “yeah, but dont worry. He only drives up here to take kids down into the ocean if your *really* bad” and right then someone randomly pulled up to our house and knocked on our door and she was like “DONT LET THE SQUID GET ME. ILL BE GOOD. ILL BE GOOD I PROMISE” And for the next like 3ish years if I ever needed a break I would just take out my phone and start dialing “the giant squid”

[@shapelesslord2]

i've heard them called "elbow squid" based on the spooky pose they like to do, and that feels like a pretty good descriptive common name for them

[@ToastyNoneofyourbusiness]

There was a recent video release of a bigfin squid "attacking" an ROV. I use air quotes because it's hard to tell if it was just being blown around by the jets or if it was actually attacking, but consensus seems to be that it might have been self-defense after being startled. It seemed to be using its filaments like a coil-like whip to attack. This could maybe suggest that they're more active predators as opposed to just waiting for food to bump into them like how jellyfish feed, but we don't know for certain.

[@makuru.42]

"we don't know for certain." Tell me a more iconic sentence in science.

[@Jane-oz7pp]

I actually haven't seen anything respectable say it was attacking anything. The main theories are a defensive maneuver to escape, or, the much more likely scenario, it was caught in a current.

[@Whywhywhy-bn5pq]

@makuru.42 "Further research is needed."

[@bigcheese1061]

I feel like another thing to mention when discussing the size of these animals is that it can be tricky to gauge size of things in the open ocean because there’s nothing to compare the size to, nor is there anything in the back to gauge how far away it is. If one happens to be spotted on chance there isn’t going to be the tools or intention needed to measure it

I absolutely love your personality, editing style and content! I look forward to binging all of your videos and the new ones you make! An idea I had for a video would be to talk about the Deep Scattering Layer, I'm not sure if there's a lot to talk about but figured it might be an interested topic! Anyways love the stuff!

[@swarple]

Cool video! The first time I saw that night vision footage I was like “Why do their tentacles jut out away from their body and then hang down??? Freaky” Now I know! The parts that hang down aren’t tentacles. Wonder what about the human psyche finds their vertical position so unsettling, though. They’re just vibing, why does it give me the willies? Edit: Thought my parents showed me the original video, apparently they didn’t so I showed it to them. My dad’s response was “That thing is what nightmares are made of” 😂

[@lozlullaby7947]

I always wonder this too! Like why is my brain freaked out by this? I also wonder are the creatures of the deep freaked out by us and see us as aliens? :D

[@joeanderson8839]

I have always been terrified of the deep water. The thought of what creatures could be lurking between me floating on the surface and the bottom of the ocean is mind blowing.

[@snakewithapen5489]

Yeah there's lots of critters down there, but if it's any consolation to you, the vast majority of them don't even know our species exists!

[@skypaver989]

just remember that there's just as many derpy and adorable sea creatures as there are spooky ones with giant fangs. For every viperfish and anglerfish, there's a dumbo octopus flapping its little head flaps like a cartoon fairy

[@trishave5639]

The Shell oil rig footage still creeps me out. Like really creeps me out. I mean what is the squid thinking. 'I'm gonna creep the ROV controller out by just hanging here and oh hey most of KZbin while I'm at it" cos it did a good job. Also cool video and I love the humour :)

[@spiderplant]

I'm glad you don't just push the "they're so twitchin terrifying!!! If only flamethrowers worked under water!!" Button. Replacing fear with curiosity is, like, the main reason whales haven't been hunted to extinction yet. EDIT: AND YOU CREDIT SMALL ARTISTS

This video is absolutely amazing!!! Bigfin squids are actually my favorite squid, and it's so hard to find stuff about them!! This video is wonderful and full of information I'd never heard before. I also love that you called them spaghetti, because that's what I've been jokingly call 'em for a while now. When they're out of elbow pose, they're just overcooked spaghetti!!

[@marions.3657]

I AM SORRY BUT WHY WAS THE VIDEO AT 6:10 JUST SO FUNNY ? It looks like a dashcam video but instead of thank its a squid they could be called dress train squid

It kinda looks like a marionette with the strings cut. Perhaps we should call it the marionette squid? It’s still relatively creepy but much cuter and true to character than “bigfin”.

[@timothyacowin9761]

That first video we got really sold itself

[@nanwilder2853]

This video was a great discovery for me, as it includes footage I haven’t seen, which makes it clear that Magnapinnas are NOT that scary-looking… Phew! Also, I couldn’t understand the lack of suckers on their arms or filaments, based on the footage I have seen. Thanks to you, we know that their suckers are “microscopic”, so of course they don’t show up in murky underwater footage. I find Squids to be fascinating, and really look forward to your upcoming video/Magnapinna footage. Thank you, The Octopus Lady. Take good care!

[@coffeecaim2527]

What scares me is most of the footage is of babies of the species and the og green murky one is probs an adult

spaghetti squid is really good name, could even expand that to have long armed squids called pastapods, and each one being named after a different noodle.

That one video seems to show aggressive behavior and it seems to have a lot of control of the filaments in it. Cooking them up and striking at the ROV quite quick and from pretty far away. It even seemed to do this “attack” in a way that the tentacle couldn’t be seen till it struck.

New subscriber here. I’d watched another of this channel’s videos before this - the siphonophore one - and when I saw the channel creator crediting an artist whose work had gone kinda viral sans credit, I knew I had to sub. That’s class, right there. Ensuring someone gets the credit they deserve when it would be easier to just forget about it and use the image uncredited. That’s class. As to what I would rename the squid? The Phantom Squid. They’re elusive, scary looking, hang out in the world’s flooded sub-basements, are vaguely menacing, and are very misunderstood. Sort of like the Phantom of the Opera. Phantom Squid.

A name-change would seem entirely reasonable. After all it is done with some other common creatures. Here in Australia we are renowned for our Saltwater Crocodiles ('Salties'), a name used to distinguish them from the much smaller and less dangerous Freshwater Crocodiles ('Freshies'). However six years ago I discovered they had been renamed as the Indo-Pacific Crocodile, because they are found all through the Indian and Pacific oceans. But then just a few weeks ago I heard another statement that they are now named the Estuarine Crocodile, because of course, they live in river estuaries (where almost all of the human attacks and deaths occur, not at sea nor on our beaches). So renaming creatures is part of developing science.
