- Siphonophores are colonial jelly-like creatures made up of specialized segments that work together as one. They may not be familiar to most, but they’re abundant animals in the ocean. In fact, siphonophores are some of the most important predators in ocean ecosystems. Scientists have described some 175 siphonophore species. Most follow a similar body plan-a gas-filled float provides buoyancy, swimming bells propel the colony, and a central stem bears specialized parts for feeding, defense, and reproduction. From the surface to the seafloor, the ocean is home to many extraordinary siphonophores. These are some of the most stunning species we’ve encountered.

I sometimes fail to remember that I share a planet with these creatures, these alien-like life forms that go beyond anything I could've portrayed as extraordinary. I'm at a loss of words to describe how surreal it feels that these creatures exist, today, right here.
I think the most interesting part is that theyre just as native to earth as we are if not more. If they had the capacity to think like us they would probably be thinking the exact same thing
this creature also exist

❤nature!
why things like this isn't extremely popular across the world boggles my mind. what fascinating creatures.
Their system to move around is truly fascinating. What a wonderful show!
Royal siphonophore 2:06 has places to be. Look at him go! My favourite.
Sinophores:”How come Tetris Effect didn’t make a soundtrack about us?”
Thanks for labeling each creature and informing us on the depth these creatures were found
(Description, not the video itself, for anyone else who felt like they missed something)
I sometimes think that instead of continually looking up and out for alien life, we should spend more time looking down and in. Breathtaking.
I'm amazed that such beautiful and wonderful beings exist here on Earth. The deep sea truly feels like an alien planet, brimming with life so curious and vivid. If all these animals migrated to land, people would lose their minds.
Siphonophores are stunning 💙
Look at those beautiful creatures! They look so soft, like gelatin. I hope they are doing okay.
They are thousands of individual single celled organism each has a specific job, they are also known to be almost eternal as they can keep rejuvenating themselves
We’re doing great, thanks for asking, as long as you don’t mess with us!
Turtle are their predators, as for jelly-fish.
@@murielvaillancourt3855 Turtles do not go that deep 😂
They can be found in the Azores where the water is clean
Whoever selected the music for this video NAILED it.
Siphonophores are some of my favorites, especially the Spaghetti Siphonophore. This is the clearest video I've ever seen. Thanks for rhat. All of them are amazing.
siphonophores are one of my favourite creatures! loved watching this (:
Unbelievably amazing to watch their methods for locomotion. 2:06 is breathtaking!
Incredible creatures.
i hope we will never make these guys to disappear by polluting the sea.
Unfortunately, we are. Climate change is already affecting sea fauna in the coldest regions of our world, specially the giants creatures. If things don't change, this effects will spread.
id say its gonna happen sooner or later but i dont wanna see them go too, it would be a true tragedy
Eye-opening, what a beautiful underwater world of creatures !
Kudos to the scientists that name these! Bottle brush, Christmas tree, perfect!
Siphonophores are one of my favourite creatures. They represent different societies (colony of smaller things serving their purpose) in one single being. One is good for propulsion, one is good for eating, defence, reproduction, sensing, and so on. They are basically personalities in living form.
Reminds me of the little creatures you see looking through a microscope, really cool stuff.
My exact thought!!! They’re like gigantic microscopic creatures, makes me wonder if there’s even tinier ones that make up those microscopic creatures that we can’t see (Idk if that’s been researched already though)
Incredible creatures
Why aren't these creatures more well-known?? They're so beautiful and fascinating.
Brilliant video as always. Thanks for documenting Earth's natural wonders.
I’ve just watched this video six times, and it wowed me each time through! To think that this sampling of Siphonophores-of which there are 175-doesn’t even scratch the surface, is very exciting! So many more to look forward to discovering… As for the beautiful blue one at the end of this video, it was a mere tease : We saw it only from above, and from too far away!
I’ve subscribed, in order to make sure that I never miss one of your videos, Monterey Bay Aquarium ; especially of my favorite deep sea beauties! Thank you, too, for reminding me of the miracle of Creation-it did my heart good!
I LOVE SIPHONOPHORES‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼
Funfact, Sinophores can make chains miles long!
ME TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1:01 is my new favorite. Thanks again for these gems.
Omg the string one is amazing..I can't even, nature is unbelievable
When you think about all of the bizarre, ambiguous lifeforms in the open ocean, the fact that these things do everything they do without brains is amazing.
I like that creature with that pump engine head 02:07
Your channel calms me down every single time. THANK YOU MBARI! 🧡
Wow ! C'est incroyablement magnifique. Quelle beauté ! Merci pour ces images et ce partage.
❤ Beautiful!
Eldritch glory unsurpassed.
캄브리아기 이전부터 바닷속 깊은 곳에 살고 있었을 생물들. 인간들이 사라지 뒤에도 지구를 지켜주고 있겠지
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!
Beautiful!!
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
5:20 I love how the stream exhausts are angled down to generate thrust when the water is pushed out.
Like angled downwards in a turn to push the water down, not to the side.
These videos are like meditation
Mysterious things
Live beneath our seas
This will always be
They say some things
are better left alone
I do believe this jelly has decided to come out of his home
Could this jelly be a bit lonely
I think not he certainly isn’t the one and only
It is because you all have arrived
So good to see you!
I'm certain
he would say
if he had a top hat
he would tip it 🎩
and say hey!
Welcome to my beautiful home
Here in
Monterey Bay.
If we continue to destroy our planet, these beautiful creatures will be gone🙁
سبحانك ربنا ما خلقت هذا باطلا. لا اله الا الله محمد رسول الله ❤
That was mesmerizing
These are elden beast!
ngl until my girlfriend corrected me i thought the metre measurements in the chapter names were the lengths of the siphonophores
imprecionante que maravilloso!!!😲👌❤️
this channel has the most relaxing music ever
Mind blown.... 🤯
Wonderful...
Wow beautiful
How these things came to be?? They are out of this world 🤯
💝💝💝 Many many thanks ...
Красавчики!
The aliens are all around us.
They are among us
@@abishark256 amogus? Sus? Venting?
There is a siphonphore in your vents watching and waiting. Zooids always poised, popping open and closed desperate for water that doesnt exist. Late at night, when everything is still, they float through your home, ghostly and ethereal. Remember waking up with those strange burning scars last summer? Like a million burning strings wrapped around any skin exposed? The doctors said they couldn't identify the marks, but really they just couldn't understand how a jellyfish could have stung you in your home at night.
They long to be held. They miss their home. They didnt know. They didnt know they would hurt you.
They haven't realised their home no longer exists
@@Ezekiel_Allium when the non-bilateral eukaryotic organism of the phylum cnidaria made up of several zooids equipped with cnidocytes ready to destroy your skin gives optimal amounts of suspicion
I want one as a pet 😝
@@abishark256 I am so sad TH-cam appears to have zapped this comment when I check the actual thread because it got a hearty guffaw from me
Really creature amazing
Wow.
That's all. Wow.
Děkuju, MBARI 👍🇨🇿
This is what Lovecraft envisioned, his creature weren't crazier than this; which makes you wonder, if things like this exist as closely as in our own planet, what kind of creature await us in other stars?
this is my favourite youtube account
It looks like some of these could be the same species but in different stages of their life.
They are so graceful…reminds me of ballet.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Beautiful, but no way am I ever touching one of those!
The last one looked like Christmas Lights.
Absolutely horrifying, but that's why I subscribe to this channel. Forewarned is forearmed.
2:37 May you be Touched By His Noodly Appendage. Ramen.
I'd name the last one Christmas Lights Siphonophore
i have to ask... do you have pics of any knotted siphonophores?
Now imagine the life that lives in the giant oceans under the ice of Jupiter’s & staurn’s moons Europa & Enceladus
I came across these in a deep sea clip and thought they look like the creature from attack on titan lol.
Космос в космосе с живыми системами.
The real aliens!
Cousin of the jellyfish . Love cnidarians
Is that you Eren ?
Wau
Amazing! That’s why I don’t swim in the ocean.
Imagine being a siphonophore, not one of the individuals though, the whole thing
how big are they?
Siphonophores can me as small as a few inches to more than 100 feet long! It can be hard to get direct measurements of swimming animals in the deep sea, especially in the midwater, where we have nothing to compare them to for scale. Check out our Animals of the Deep page where we give more detials on some of these species: mbari.co/AnimalsOfTheDeep
those are some weird lookin dogs
With all that things... Why?
Who will appreciates all that if there's no us?
TATAKAE
Is this... Elden Ring?
Not meters but centimeters lol.
Like envision illusion fantasy
what is this im interested
the elden beast is real
3:10 wtf
Buscas aliens? Hecha un vistazo al océano xD.
سبحان الله
Looks like somebodys intestines, split the body, to live their seperat lives as dudenum, jejunum, colon etc of the sea... 🤭
What are the sizes of these creatures..?
Life is weird
WhatsApp mates them glow?
God’s creation is a wonderful reflection of His glory. What beautiful, graceful creatures!
Such is Allâh, your Lord! there is no other, cannot be and will never be One worthy of Worship but He, the Creator of all things; therefore worship Him, for He is the Disposer of all affairs.
