Hello my curious! Be all...
Weeeeeeeelcome to a new video!
The depths of the ocean hide all kinds of creatures unknown to many people.
Including me!
That's why now I decided to make a compilation for you with 10 of the least known.
And I'm sure that because of what I'm going to show you, you'll love this video,
from a very strange worm that lives in the depths of the Antarctic Ocean...
Which is very ugly!
To a creature that is fondly called the "Headless Chicken Monster"...
Which you have to definitely know!
Only before I start with the topic, I have a small question for you.
In my previous video I told you about this man who became very popular on YouTube
more than 10 years ago because he uploaded a few strange videos on his channel.
Will you have any idea what his channel name was?
Well, as in every video, I'm going to leave these 4 options on your screen
and you have to write the answer here below in the comments.
If you watched my previous video, I'm sure this question will be very easy to answer for you.
At the end of the video we'll see if you guessed right
because I'm going to tell you the name of his channel, okay?
Now we are ready! Make yourself comfortable!
And enjoy it my friend!
I'm Curious Ben! And… How curious are you?
Bobbit Worm
The Bobbit Worm is a giant worm that you would not want to meet even if you were crazy.
Do you know that in adulthood, these things measure up to 3 meters long?
That sounds great, does not it?
Its diet, in case you ask, is based on all kinds of fish, squid and octopus.
Fortunately, he does not eat humans. His teeth are so sharp and so strong
that once he catches his prey, it is useless to try to escape...
As you can see!
Something super curious about them is that they have neither brain nor eyes...
But hey! They have 5 antennae that are like their eyes
because they help detect all kinds of movements under water.
That makes it much easier to hunt their prey.
The advantage of these worms over the other creatures of the depths
is that they go completely unnoticed because they hide stealthily under the ocean floor,
and only leave their cave when they are hungry.
Thanks to all that, the Bobbit Worm has been able to feed and survive in the depths
of the ocean since prehistoric times.
The first time it was known about them was in the year 1788,
but very few people know of their existence at the moment,
so I decided to show them in this video.
Number 9
Black Swallower
The Black Swallower is a kind of fish that has a skill that almost no other species
in the world has, do you know what it is?
They have a stomach that can expand up to 4 times more,
allowing them to digest animals much larger than themselves.
That's amazing, right?
When they spend almost all their time under 1000 meters of depth,
where everything is very dark,
Black Swallower have a great advantage over other fish because of their large stomach.
And if you think about it, that's a great advantage.
While an average fish has to feed on fish smaller than himself or with waste from the seabed,
The Black Swallower only has to open his mouth to swallow fish up to a meter.
The funny thing is that in their adulthood they do not measure more than 25 centimeters
but since they can eat fish up to 4 times their size,
you can imagine how their bellies look after eating, right?
If that's not a super power, then I do not know what it is...
-Bullshit! -Benny, why are you trying to swallow that chair?
Damn it!
Number 8
Eulagisca Gigantea
In the depths of the Antarctic ocean there is a population of very strange creatures
known as Giant Polynoid Worm, or by their scientific name "Eulagisca Gigantea".
Did you know that something like this really exists?
Well, although you did not know it, experts know about the species since 1939
but since they live exclusively in the bottom of the Antarctic Ocean,
which is one of the most inhospitable places in the world,
it has been very difficult to study them in their natural habitat,
so it's very likely that you did not have the remotest idea
that something like this lives in the Antarctic ocean.
You can not find too much information about them on the Internet either.
For example, nothing is known about their diet, their reproduction rate,
how they live their day to day or the role they play in the ecosystem where they live.
It is only known that an adult measures 20 centimeters,
they are not fast or poisonous and they have large jaws.
At least now you know they exist!
Number 7
The Predatory Tunicate
There are more than 2,800 species of tunicates around the world,
and the predatory tunicate is one of them.
The most interesting of them, rather.
This particular species is one of the least known
because it seems that they only live in the bottom of the submarine canyon of Monterrey Bay,
located in California. Being more accurate, they live about 1,000 meters deep.
The first thing that draws attention to them, or what stands out is their appearance,
and also their way of feeding.
That big bag in the form of a hood that they have up there,
serves to catch all kinds of tiny fish that pass by,
and is a deadly trap from which few have managed to escape.
Experts say that when a fish falls inside, it can cry, try to break it, scream or whatever it wants
but it is simply useless because it will not be able to get out no matter how much they want it.
In just a few minutes, The Predatory Tunicate begins to compress that bag
in the form of a hood to start digesting its prey.
And that's basically what they do every day of their lives.
The Predatory Tunicate can not move because they are anchored to the bottom of the ocean,
they do not have fins, they can not do almost anything and they are not so funny,
but they are an interesting species...
Don't you think?
Number 6
Enypniastes Eximia
In the depths of most of the world's oceans,
you can find a creature that looks so strange
that people have decided to call it a "Headless Chicken Monster" affectionately.
A name that, while it might sound funny to you,
makes sense when you see it flutter for just a few seconds.
Does not it look like a chicken without a head floating?
The Headless Chicken Monster, or Enypniastes Eximia being technically correct,
is a species of sea cucumber that lives between 1,000 and 2,000 meters deep in a solitary way.
They do not do anything especially to float in the darkness of the ocean
to go from one place to another looking for sediments with which to feed.
Something that you should have clear about this species
is that it is not a colossal monster from the depths.
I clarify it because when you see it in these scenes
you might think that it measures a couple of meters, right?
In fact, adults do not exceed 25 centimeters in length,
so they are very small if we compare them with other beasts that live down there.
Anyway, being a species that lives in such a deep area and likes to be alone,
many people do not even know that it exists.
Number 5
Bathyphysa Conifera
Although you might think that what you are seeing are the viscera of some sea beast...
Or something like that!
In reality it is one of the ugliest animals you can find in the depths.
Do you know what some people call it?
Flying Spaghetti Monster!
And it's not hard to imagine the reason for the name, right?
-Screw you! -Stop biting the animal, Benny.
You're killing him, are not you seeing?
The Flying Spaghetti Monster, or Bathyphysa Conifera as it is known in the scientific community,
is actually one of the 175 species of siphonophores that inhabit the oceans.
The siphonophores, in case you did not know, are made up of hundreds and hundreds
of multicellular organisms known as zooids.
I know you may not have any idea what I'm saying right now
but the point I want you to understand is that the Flying Spaghetti Monster
is actually a group of multicellular organisms united in one, and they look like spaghetti.
Mr. Spaghetti has been recorded very rarely in history
so it is very likely that you did not know of its existence.
Number 4
Halitrephes Maasi
And speaking of almost unknown animals that live in the depths
I present to you the Medusa Halitrephes Maasi.
It's very rare, right?
In case you wonder, the jellyfish lives more than 1,000 meters deep
in almost all the oceans of the world, but not much is known about them.
According to the records, it was first seen in 1909
but because they are a species that lives solitary in such a deep area of the ocean,
it has been very difficult for experts to study them in their natural habitat.
The best part is that these things are about to change because with current technology,
more and more species are found when there are expeditions to the depths.
Oh!
And before I forget it, do not be fooled by those colors, the species is completely transparent.
The colors that are projected in this video are really only the reflection of the light emitted
by the submarine vehicle that is recording it.
But leaving that aside, I'm sure you've never seen it, right?
Number 3
Roman Fedortsov
It is not a species of the depths or an unknown animal...
Obviously!
But the name of a person who uploads photographs
of very strange sea creatures on his Instagram account.
In my research on this subject of animals from the depths,
I came across Roman's Instagram account.
And being very honest, reviewing the photos and videos published,
I think it is worth mentioning it on this occasion.
As Roman has been working on a trawl boat in the north-western part of Russia for several years,
and has seen all kinds of marine monsters that are unknown to many...
Including myself!
He has been able to take pictures and videos of really strange animals from the depths.
Since I know that reviewing his Instagram account is probably
one of the funniest things you can do this afternoon,
I decided to mention it so you can have a good time.
And since we are talking about this,
I also recommend that you follow me on my Instagram account because soon...
-Damn garbage! -Benny, stop uploading those provocative photos.
We talked about it!
Number 2
Frilled Shark
The Frilled Shark is one of the least known shark species in the world
and one of the most terrifying animals you can find in the depths.
That thing is really ugly, right?
If you did not know anything about them I can tell you that the adult specimens of the species
are up to 4 meters long and usually live between 1,000 and 1,500 meters deep
in most of the world's oceans.
Its favorite food are cephalopods that also live in the depths
and have no escape when the shark decides to attack them.
Because they are very fast, they have extremely flexible jaws to catch all kinds of prey
and their teeth are perfectly designed to catch fishes.
I would have loved to show you a video of an Frilled Shark in full attack
but apparently there is no video available to date.
The reason that it is almost not documented is that they are an endangered species
of which there are fewer and fewer specimen because their reproduction rate is very low.
So finding photos or videos of them on the Internet is not an easy task...
Not to say impossible!
Due to that little documentation about the species,
many people do not even know of its existence.
Number 1
Colossal Squid
Would you believe me if I told you that an adult of this species
can measure up to 15 meters long, if not more?
Although that may sound like a lie,
experts say that the colossal squid is one of the most feared creatures in the depths of the oceans
because of its large size and great strength.
And at the same time they are the least known or documented creatures in history.
Official reports say that the first time I saw one of these was in 1925 and since then,
only 5 more have been seen; and that's why we know very little about them.
Among that little information that is available of the Colossal Squid
I can mention that its natural habitat supposedly goes from the north of Antarctica
to the south of New Zealand.
It lives to more than 1500 meters of depth and they feed on sperm whales and other smaller squid.
As they have been seen on so few occasions throughout history,
it is very likely that you had no idea that this thing really exists.
And that's all for today!
It was good, right?
Well, if you liked the video as much as Benny, you should leave a thumbs up
because that helps me a lot to know which videos you really like
and which topics I should not talk about again.
So if you want to see more videos of animals in the channel...
You know what to do!
The answer of the riddle is option D.
Edarem was the pseudonym of this man who became very popular on the Internet
several years ago thanks to the videos he published on his YouTube channel...
Quite strange videos, by the way!
If you would like to know more about his history,
you should see my previous video because I talked a little more about him
and I made some comments with interesting data...
So I'll leave the link here above, okay?
And yep, I think that's it!
As always I say...
Before you leave, do not forget to share this video with all your friends
so that the family of curious continues to grow.
And follow me on social networks so that you can learn new curiosities every day.
Now look at another of my tops by clicking on one of those little windows
that you see on your screen right now.
And let the show continue!
I see you in the next one!
Goooooooooooooodbye!
