Imagine being in a submarine far into the ocean, you land and the floor bleeds. Sounds like something comming from a eldritch horror novel
-
Isopods say "I know a place" and take you to a deepstaria jellyfish.
-
Y’all should do a compilation of studies that have changed (like things we didn’t know and now do, etc..)since you’ve made a video on the changing subjects.
-
Micheal has a new hairstyle every video yet Hank hasn’t changed in 5 years. Both look great!
-
Funny story about the Alvin sub. I was so scared of getting a new job that I decided to talk to a therapist to help me through the process (job security issues/constant rejction in the past). At my first appointment, he had a shirt on that had a small picture of it. Being a scuba diver, myself, I was curious and asked him about it. Turned out he was part of the crew of the Alvin sub. :)
-
Aranda is slowly transforming into the green power ranger, when he had that late 80s early 90s mullet going on.
-
I remember the video from Nautilus Live when they found that Deepstaria. It was such a great moment, listening to professional scientists geek out like college kids. And the animal itself was just plain gorgeous, mysterious, and fascinating.
-
What we learned recently: In order to study the deep sea species you have to go there and take samples in highly pressurised receptacles. A LOT of planning and work involved. We actually never really thought about this before. So we followed the scientists along on their quest to the depths of the ocean. That was very insightful and great fun indeed.

SciShow: For over a century, their habit of fatally overeating was the main way scientists collected specimens Me: noice
-
The swept back is a good look on you Michael, rock on.
-
"Who knew a giant mouthless buttless worm would redefine what we know about how life works on our planet". I agree my friend. And how weird is it that that worm makes blood plumes? Boom 🤯
-
The entire bacteria - tube worm symbiotic relationship is super cool and actually might be a good way of understanding how more evolved animals initially developed mitochondria millions of years ago.
-
Who the hell ate 70 hot dogs without vomiting???
-
The big mystery: why is he wearing a jacket?
-
in a few billion years or so those tube worms could go the same route as the ancestors of plants where the photo/chemosynthetic bacteria fuse with their respective hosts.
-
3:22 Aw man. I had a really good joke prepared about what the worms were full of if they can’t poop
-
"Why is it like this?!?!" pretty much sums up studies of deep sea creatures imho
-
Hank, I'm a really big admirer of ur childish enthusiasm when u r explaining stuff. Keeps me hooked.
-
Hair looks awesome, Michael! I’m beginning to get jealous. Lol
-
"... four times as long as the swallower" lord hammercy!
