Hey guys it's Kerry I'm featuring my new Monterey giant squid and new Papa
lobster along with some of my favorite sea animals Please subscribe like and
turn on notifications giant squid
they live up to their name the largest giant squid ever recorded
was 13 meters long and may have weighed nearly a ton giant squid are aggressive
opportunistic creatures that prey on anything that comes their way
from easy meals of fish and shrimp to a more sporting hunt of other large
cephalopods and whales beluga whale the beluga has adapted to life in the
Arctic it's all white colour and the absence of
a dorsal fin allows it to swim under ice with ease
its sense of hearing is highly developed and its echolocation allows it to move
about and find breathing holes under sheet ice the shape of the beluga's head
is unlike that of any other cetacean as the melon is extremely bulbous
lobed and visible as a large frontal prominence puffer fish can inflate
themselves with water and sometimes air and blow themselves up to several times
their normal size to evade predators goblin shark it has pink skin and a very
distinct profile that features an elongated flattened snout
with its protruding jaws that are filled with teeth that resemble nails they are
active predators and take fish
as well as squids and pelagic crustaceans
goblin sharks appear to be pink due to the blood vessels visible through their
translucent skin they are born almost white but darken
with age they are flabby with small fins that
suggest they are slow and sluggish in movement
they live at great depths and have been known to roam the deep trenches like the
Mariana sea turtle
marine turtles have lived in the oceans for over 100 million years
marine turtles migrate long distances between their feeding grounds and
nesting sites the beak-like mouth is used to shear or crush food
Kemp's ridley sea turtle they are among the smallest sea turtles reaching about
60 centimeters in shell length
red eared slider they are almost entirely aquatic but as
they are cold blooded they leave the water to sun bake to regulate their
temperature
sally lightfoot crab they are brightly colored coastal
scavengers found in the Galapagos islands and
across the western coast of south and central America
blue crab they are strong swimmers largely due to
their fifth pair of legs which are shaped like paddles
Dungeness crab it uses smaller appendages to pass the
food particles into its mouth they bury themselves completely in the sand if
threatened moray eel
they have a painful bite and can cause extensive bleeding
this is because they have teeth that jut backwards so that prey cannot easily
escape clown trigger fish it has sharp teeth
and strong jaws which are excellent for crushing shells they also have a
poisonous dorsal spine which locks into place when the fish is under threat
it is solitary and defends its territory they can be very aggressive
clawed lobster lobsters are invertebrates with a hard
protective exoskeleton like most arthropods lobsters must shed
to grow which leaves them very vulnerable
lobster anatomy includes two main body parts the cephalothorax and the abdomen
the cephalothorax fuses the head and the thorax both of which are covered by a
chitinous carapace
and this is the new papo lobster notice their eyes they are compound eyes
on stalks because lobsters live in murky
environments at the bottom of the ocean they mostly use their antennae as senses
and this is the spiny lobster easily recognized by their thick spiny
antennae and lack of chelae they have a slightly compressed carapace
lacking any lateral ridges
marbled stingray they are bottom feeders and settle
themselves down over their prey trapping them against the substrate with
their disc queen trigger fish
it can change color to match its surroundings or if subjected to stress
nautilus pompillious as a carnivore it feeds on both
underwater carrion and detritus as well as living shellfish and crabs
ammonite they were shelled cephalopods that died
out about 66 million years ago they are ocean dwelling mollusks
specifically cephalopods group's cephalopoda is
divided into three subgroups colioids which includes squids octopus
cuttlefish nautiloids which are the nautiluses and
ammonites
ammonites were born with tiny shells and as they grew they built new chambers
onto it they would move their entire body into a
new chamber and seal off their old and now too small living quarters with walls
known as septa
elephant seal they have large sharp teeth and can bite
they carry bacteria that can cause very serious infections for humans and pets
frog fish they lying on the sea floor and wait for
prey to approach then using their pectoral and pelvic fins they walk along
the ocean floor salmon
typically they are anadromous they hatch in fresh water migrate to the ocean then
return to the fresh water to reproduce large mouth bass
their upper jaw extends beyond the rear margin of the
orbit it is the largest of the black basses
octopus with reproduction
during mating the male approaches the female who fends him off for a while but
then accepts him he sits next to her or mounts her
inserting the hectocotylus into her mantle cavity to pass the spermatophores
they may copulate for several hours the same pair often repeat mating over a
period of a week or so but a male copulates with other females
and females accepts other males
octopus can make discriminations based on visual tactile and chemical
cues the females find a hole a crevice or
sheltered place and they often protect their homes with shells stones and other
solid objects that they gather they are able to conceal themselves on
any substrate by varying color skin texture
pygmy sperm whale hunts prey by echolocation
it possesses the shortest rostrum of current day cetaceans
sperm whale they are named after the waxy substance
spermaceti found in their heads the spermaceti is an oil sac that helps
the whale's focus sound it is the largest of the toothed whales
and the largest toothed predator an adult sperm whale has few natural
predators although calves and weakened adults are sometimes killed by pods of
killer whales the sperm whales flukes are triangular and very thick
proportionately they are larger than that of any other cetacean and are very
flexible the whale lifts its flukes high out of
the water as it begins a feeding dive it has a series of ridges on the back's
caudal third instead of a dorsal fin
blue whale they are massive
growing to 30 meters in length and weighing more than 200 tons
their tongue alone can weigh as much as an elephant
their hearts as much as an automobile when a blue whale exhales spray from the
blowhole it shoots nearly 10 meters into the air
blue whales can be found migrating from both north and south poles in the oceans
around the world they sit on top of the food chain
and have a significant role in maintaining a healthy marine environment
whole genome sequencing suggests that blue whales are most closely related to
sei whales with grey whales as a sister group
the only known natural threat to blue whales is the killer whale
bowhead whale they have the largest mouth of any
animal representing almost one third of the length of the body
bull shark they are aggressive they need to be in
order to survive bull sharks are cannibalistic eating
younger bull sharks as well as other shark species
being aggressive helps them survive before they become fully grown
it is found in warm shallow brackish and fresh water systems including estuaries
and rivers
bull sharks can thrive in both salt and fresh water and can travel far up rivers
the bull shark is diadromous meaning they can swim between salt and fresh
water with ease bull sharks are able to regulate
themselves to live in either fresh or salt water
it can live in fresh water for its entire life but this does not happen
mostly due to the reproductive needs of the shark
young bull sharks leave the brackish water in which they are born and move
out into the sea to breed megalodon
it went extinct millions of years ago it was the largest shark ever to prowl
the oceans and one of the largest fish on record
its name means giant tooth for a very good reason
its massive teeth are almost three times larger than the teeth of a modern great
white shark like the dinosaurs
megaloden liked warmth during its time it hunted in the warm
shallow seas that covered much of the planet
megalodon teeth have been found on every continent except Antarctica
megalodon may have gone extinct when these seas dried up
the ice age began and water was locked up at the poles
killer whale is the largest member of the oceanic
dolphin family
blue whale the only known natural threat to blue
whales is the killer whale
humpback whale males complete aggressively for access
to estrous females the breeding season is during winter and
breeding takes place in tropical waters during courtship the male follows the
female then they engage in rolling flipping and
tail fluking next both dive and then surface
vertically with ventral surfaces close contact
this is where the male inserts his claspers which is another word for penis
injecting sperm into the females cloaca they emerge from the water to a point
below their flippers they then fall back onto the surface of
the water together in sexually mature mouths the weight of
the testes and the rate of spermatogenesis increased during the
breeding season coinciding with the ovulation of the females
