The YouTube source page has an extensive note from the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute with relevant links and a list of the creatures depicted. There are 40 amazing creatures in this ten-minute mashup (the audio becomes repetitive - too bad they didn't select a longer piece).
This is not for watching on a phone screen. It demands either your desktop or a wide-screen TV. And be sure to click on the fullscreen icon in the LR corner.
Enjoy, marvel at what forms life can take, and shudder to realize that we are slowly destroying the environment they live in.
Fantastic!! Of course, I love anything the MBA does ~ life time members!
ReplyDeleteWow, that’s fantastic. We usually see them swimming by a yard or two from the submersible, but these are like in a fish tank in your living room.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely incredible! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteMarvelous! Thanks for posting!
ReplyDeleteThat's fantastic! It would be nice to see something to show how these creatures compare in size to each other.
ReplyDeleteCorrection - Closed Captioning shows the maximum size and range of depths for most of the animals in the video.
ReplyDeleteSo another 10 minutes with CC.
ReplyDeleteA good term for this video would be "Nature's Imagination."
And before the ocean dies, dozens more like it could be made.
Finally watched this after saving it for a long time and it was definitely worth it. I really liked the scientific name for the Rabbit Ear Comb Jelly: Kiyohimea usagi. I think that someone was a fan of Usagi Yojimbo, the rabbit ronin.
