Instead we got carbon copies of unfunny boring mr beast wannabes with some pregnancy videos sprinkled here and there for good measures

Another cool thing about these is that they're essentially larval tunicates (sea squirts) that never grow up, hence the name. Another fact: larvaceans and other tunicates are closely related to vertebrates; the tail contains a supporting rod called a notochord that's homologous to a vertebrate spine.

Yeah, we're close enough to tunicates and larvaceans that we're considered in the same phylum, just different subphyla.

Yes, they featured MBARI bioengineer Kakani Katija on CBS This Morning this week! You might also like this amazing 3D model of the giant larvacean. The reconstruction was created from data captured with the DeepPIV, an instrument designed at MBARI: kzread.info/dash/bejne/iYabktxwoLS5erA.html

We have a bit of a text about them in our Founddamental Zoology, but without illustrations. So lucky to come across a video!!

I loved learning about Deep Sea Creatures and Giant Larvaceans!

Everything about this was cool..jazz, the narration, and the giant larvation!

I wonder how they build these structures

I adore the xylophone with the video!!!🥰 HAD to share this, made everyone, all ages, HAPPIER! More please? ♥️♥️♥️

Came here after watching the recent scishow episode. These creatures look magical.

This is genuinely unbelievable

Love the video, one of the best I've seen on youtube. The music, the voice, and I learned everything we probably know about the giant larvacean and their brethren.

I never would have suspected those creature existed, awesome video as always MBARI !!

Great stuff! Keep em coming!

Thank you so much for these videos

AWESOME video on the topic. I've always found larvaceans fascinating ever since I first read about them. Just how do they go about building these intricate structures?! And their impact on other species' food supply just makes them cooler. (I liked the commentator's voice, by the way! And the whole style of the video.)

I haven't even heard of these organisms before; finally a recommended video I like seeing pop up!

this is so cool. love this style. I learned alot.

I loved the jazzy vibe of this one 😁!

beautiful! These little guys are like a cross between an underwater spider and slug, so interesting!

Everything about the oceans is beautiful.

I so love your videos!

The interesting thing is that larvaceans are more closely related to us than other invertebrates

I love the voice xD

amazing how nature can find ways to perfectly assist each creature

I'm really curious for one thing, like how they build these structures?

i'm studyinf for my final on animal diversity tomorrow, this helped to create a mental image of larvacea, thx

Amazing footage of this fragile animal and its constructions. What a treat

Thank you, life in all its infinite expressiveness...

If big mucus bubbles count as houses then I'm a real estate mogul.

Amazing!

AMAZING!

very cool narrator, text and an interesting subject

Ty

Wonderful information...I love to learn about marine life!

The narrators voice is next level good.

Fascinating

I am so envious of the divine creator's marvelous intelligence. All of this is incredible, fantastic, wonderful!.

“The competition for weirdness here is tough”.

In a perfect world David Attenborough would be narrating MBARI videos. You have such amazing clips.

larvacean...what a great dog name!

Disposable housing... nice!

Video like looking through space (quite dark). Did you just make this stuff up about Larvacean?

The oceans are obviously the prime place of creativity experimenting and theorizing with itself. Who would condone polluting (in any form) something this marvelous and important?

I love how they look like an organic space ship.

i love larvaceans

the first one was a really wonderful creature.. I never see anything like that!!

Love the music, it’s so jolly - kinda anthropomorphic! But I didn’t understand HOW they build their houses. I saw that they needed to... and is the slinky thing around them part of the house they build, or part of their body that we don’t see when they’re just being tadpoles?

@MBARIvideo

The head is the round part attached the the moving tail. Everything else you see is the mucus house. We don't know how they actually build them, but our researchers are working on that! One of our bioengineers and her team has developed laser technology that allowed them to create a 3D model of a house. Check it out: kzread.info/dash/bejne/iYabktxwoLS5erA.html

I love the longer video format, with explanations. It would be great with more "show and tell" videos like this. But, change the music :D

Did a bit of digging and I was shocked to find out that THIS THING IS A TUNICATE.

So these eat the ocean snow then? that's cool. Even cooler they send packed lunches to those on lower floors lol, awesome

I've just been discovering a new living thing every video

I can't get enough of all these magical deep-sea thingamajigz. They look as alien as it gets, what i would imagine on another planet! They practically are aliens because they live in a completely different environment, but then right here at home.

@2:49 aww didn't know Steven Seagal was a scientist 😂

I got an NPR-ish vibe while watching this, or Saturday morning educational programming...

2:43 what is that thing on the left? It's like a ball spiked with coral polyps.

This creature is a tunicate, which means it belongs to Chordates. So it may look like a jelly but it is actually closely related to vertebrates.

Good surface area to total mass ratio, this is the most efficient means to absorb or trap nutrients, or store information, hence why lungs, brains, golgi apparatus and other structures are folded.

I'm surprised if they don't use them to study the increase or change in plastic particles in the ocean. You would think they would be the perfect organism for studying that.

I never knew a larvacean could be so big. I thought the largest they could get was 1-2 cm Bathochordaeus is some to reach some 3 - 6 cm long with some specimen being claimed to be 10 cm apparently? amazing.
