Wow Wildlife Moments from the Deep Waters Near Kingman Reef | Nautilus Live
Ғылым және технология
‘We can see most of the major taxa here!’
Our first expedition of 2023 has revealed treasure after treasure of deep sea wildlife viewing! Catch up with some of our favorite moments from ROV Hercules’ footage from exploring ancient seamounts in US waters north of Kingman Reef and Palmyra Atoll. How many of the species can you name?
Check out an acorn worm leaving trails of digested sediment as it travels along the seafloor, a Hymenaster slime star tumbling along tangled with a sea urchin, and a narcomedusa jellyfish likely to be yet another undescribed species from the deep. Along the seamount the team has also documented stunning biodiverse outcrops of many different corals (including plexaurids, primnoids, Chrysogorgia sp, mushrooms, bamboos, and more) as well as the colorful neighbors who utilize this habitat like bright pink squat lobsters, purple Enypniastes sea cucumbers. Were you watching live when we spotted the solitary hydroid with the triple layers of tentacles and the fan-favorite “grumpy faced” Chaunacops sp. anglerfish? Relive each moment with this compilation.
This expedition brings the Ocean Exploration Trust team to explore waters around the US territories of Kingman Reef & Palmyra Atoll, one of the most biodiverse regions of the Central Pacific. Diving our remotely operated vehicles along ancient seamounts estimated to be 80-120 million years old, these deep sea communities are being investigated and explored for the first time by human eyes. Increasing the baseline of knowledge about geological history and habitat patterns is especially important because the region is currently nominated for consideration as a National Marine Sanctuary, a process seeking public input.

Thank you guys for being out there!! The detail we are able to see is spectacular!! Just magical!
I love living in 2023 this is so incredible to be able to look at these amazing organisms

In real time!
I mentally and physically relate to the chaunacops on so many levels

I love her littol feets!
This is fascinating! They almost look alien. It's so cool that they live just below us. Also it's oddly wholesome so hear scientists laugh and joke around casually
6:59 lol that deep contemplative thought "I wanted to be a shark when I grew up but here I am" 😂
The work that these people do is incredible. There's simply no way that we'd find out about these unique and rare creatures without the assistance of people who clearly love what they do. Thanks for sharing, the world is full of wonder, and so much yet to discover!
Love it! I sure hope this area becomes a Marin sanctuary. It beautifully diverse.

This is amazing! So cool and creepy 😅
i love how they geek out as much as we do
I love watching these videos and the live ones. They make me want to go back to school and become a marine biologist. Unfortunately, I am a bit too old so I just watch and try to name the organisms before lthe team does and I am getting pretty good. 😉 I guess I can call it home schooling. Lol
Do you guys have a "meet the team" video? Would love to see the faces behind the voices

"she just ate!!" 🤣 absolutely love your excitement. it reminds me that there is no retirement age for true excitement and wonder ❣
These videos are so sweet and informative! Such cool sea critters :D

They are!
This is so beautiful ! Thank you so much for showing what you find to the general public!
WOW. and love ya'll's reactions. So cute.
that is probably the coolest Hydroid I have ever seen. The sunflower looking one.
Great video! I really liked the Chaunacops! It looks like a hairy fish.
I wish you added timestamps with names of the species in the description so we'd get chapters. It'd make it much easier to search for more information. I see the species are in the description too, but chapters would make it more clear. Still obviously incredible videos, love to see these creatures. Feels pretty incredible to get these clear views of organisms from so deep under the surface.
Thank You all for the work you do :)
imagine telling all the other fish what you saw and everyone calling you crazy. We humans are the Aliens to them.
I love watching all of your videos. They're such a fun way to learn more about the creatures of the deep :)
What a blessing to have your job! Thank you
Thank you so much for providing this service. And it is a service, to be able to see this, show younger people and get them interested. Thank you so much.
Normally it's pitch black right? So how does the light from the EV affect these creatures if at all?

Most of the time, the light seems to have little effect on the organisms. However, certain fish, like the cutthroat eels, are definitely affected. They sometimes appear to lose depth perception and frequently run into obstacles or nose dive into the sea floor. Fear not, though; they are not injured. They just appear to be a bit shaken up and then go right back to the business of being fish. 👍
Hope they got their sanctuary approved!
Really interesting dive yesterday to watch.
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
I absolutely love love LOVE the commentary.
Such a beautiful environment
Incredible!!
the humor of the crew Made my day 😃
Amazingly incredible creatures that i am enthralled by but will only ever see through the world of Ev Nautilus Thank you for sharing
This one by far was the best
This is amazing footage and I cannot express how much I love the enthusiastic and informative commentary and banter! One question, as a videographer on land, what kind of lighting are you sporting down here? At these depths I imagine it's pretty pitch dark normally, but it looks almost as lit up as a coral reef. Do these creatures, who I imagine have never experienced light before, react to it, or don't they have the senses? Does it scare some creatures, and attract others, so that we are for ever doomed to have a whole shadow biosphere of creatures we will never meet in the deep, who flee at the first sense of a rov with photons? :)
Hopefully eventually you guy's film a Architeuthis
Missed the June 2nd date for public pressure to preserve the region as a Marine life sanctuary.
Yess down below..still a lot of undescovered interesting creatures...that looks like an alien coming from different world! Nice.. seeing knowing them!
man, i love scientists.
what is the distance between the 2 lasers?

Thank you for sharing your discoveries with us. Oh a National Marine sanctuary is a great idea. ❤
Ever ever ever??? 😂 Seriously amazing stuff! Kinda glad the chicken lives very deep. If I'd come face to face with one while diving I'd have thought I was seeing things!
Chaunacops! oh how we need plushies of you 💖
you have no idea how THRILLED i was when i saw this post. these vids give me like thank u for doing the lords work (cool pictures of funny little sea creatures)

Hard to consider this not a squid tbh, crazy little thing
On another planet, in a different galaxy, one of these creatures is the intelligent surpreme being of its planet. Capable of inventing Trigonometry and stuff.
Silly question maybe …are these tiny tiny or big?
7:21 another trait on male chaunacops sexual dimorphism is they have really big nostrils compare to their own body. That's because their sole purpose is to find a female to mate with.
How is it possible that that fishie has eyes? it cannot see anything right?

This was actually a question that puzzled scientists for a while! Turns out a lot of deep sea fish have specialized eyes that let them either 1) pick out the silhouettes of other creatures above them against the lighter background water, or 2) see the glow of bioluminescent organisms around them in the truly pitch black depths
Yall should make these into silly top ten lists with exciting music for each number in the countdown.
Why aren’t their videos monetized?
Almost surreal. A biological film fest.
They are in the sub or its a robot sub ?
