What's even more wild is how long the squid family has been on Earth. Some of the first apex predators in history were distant relations of what we think of as "giant squids".
i LOVE the scientists who narrate the NOAA ROV feed, they’re so fun, i recommend everyone watch the livestreams here on youtube it’s super interesting even tho there’s rarely as much action as an entire bigfin squid! shoutout to dr. “magna peena? oh man look at him” i like her commentary a lot
The Giant Squid is basically the crown jewel for all deep sea explorers when they keep on doing their research down there. Who knows what’s truly lurking down there in the depths?
agree, the deep sea is one of the least explored environments on Earth, and the Giant Squid represents the mysterious life forms that inhabit these depths.
Deep-sea life is so fascinating and terrifying. Whenever I feel like I'd like to go exploring, I remember playing Subnautica and think better of it. Your hair is really cute in this one Danielle! Thanks as always!
I remember watching a documentary years ago, maybe in the early 2000s about the giant squid. It looked so much like melted cheese with stringy arms and very little was known and the CGI at the time was fascinating. I hadn't heard about the colassal squid until 10 years ago and today I am learning of a 3rd relative? Amazing!
That's part of why they're so ravenous. They go from being aroun 5 inches long to that massive size in only a few years, so they have to eating constantly to fuel that growth.
It should be pointed out that ambergris is, in the USA, illegal to possess or trade. So no career changing for any of us sadly. I believe Australia and India are the other countries that have laws against it too.
First and foremost, I love this channel! Your videos are so much fun! They're edifying yet approachable and academic without being lecture-y or patronizing!! Keep being your epic selves I do have a fun idea that could become a series of sorts. It sometimes comes up in the behind the scenes parts or the video itself, but I'm curious about the "favorites" for the team(cast and crew) fave/least fave: animals, plants, geological history phases(?), videos to make, places to film/visit, preferences in animal/subject to film... maybe also maybe videos that involve and focus on the crew, what they do, how they got interested, what to do to do that job… That kind of thing
"The V-shaped stream of light across the beak is the last thing [the squid's prey] sees." Since the beasts are supposed to live a mile under water, there isn't much light. That's why sperm whales use echo-location to find them.
I remember that first video in 2004 in the dawn of the smartphone era. I thought it was the coolest footage I had seen in my life at the time. Maybe it's because I live in the Midwest and the closest I've been to a squid is the nearest Asian restaurant... It's sad really
Fun fact, the Lusca is actually supposed to be a creature with the front half of a shark and the back half of a giant squid/octopus. Think “sharktopus”
You want to be afraid of a squid, never fall overboard in the Gulf of California near Baja, you'll be Humboldt Squid fodder. They're like 6+ ft. 10-armed pirahnas.
Colossal Squid might become endangered. The Chinese fishing fleet is stripping the Southern Ocean of their primary food source, the Patagonian Toothfish/ Chilean Sea Bass.
back in the day we had a whole trawler full of giant squids to move onto a shipping tramper . it was the most unwieldy otherworldly experience . talk about alien autopsy times 10k
Measuring squid with their tentacles is like measuring the lenght of a horse with its tail and tongue stretched out. Let's stay with 250kg, the size of a dolphin.
Once again you've come up with a fascinating subject. The EVNautilus channel has some interesting squid sightings, too. Did you know that Sperm Whales spout at an angle of about 45 degrees, not straight up? It's kind of hard to tell from drone photos, but the whales in the video seem to have not gotten this memo yet.🦑🐳
What's even more wild is how long the squid family has been on Earth. Some of the first apex predators in history were distant relations of what we think of as "giant squids".
And those had hard mineralised shells.
We'll probably never know much about the soft shelled squid ancestry.

Ur moms the crown jewel

*ALL HAIL THE SQUID!!!*
Sci fi celebrates land squid. They hunt at night, why are you walking in the forest?
🦑
Teuthies❤
* ululates in agreement *
😮😮

Your hair is really cute in this one Danielle! Thanks as always!
There’s finally going to be a Subnautica 2!
I freaking love your enthusiasm, keep up!
The great calamari is the most ambitious human name for such a creature. lol
And apparently tastes like salted black liquorice. It would be quite something.

Same. What a time to be alive.
8:51 praised be His Noodly Appendages
Ramen
Please do mountain lions next.
My sons and I would love a video on Vultures, most specifically the Bearded Vulture! YAY!
Man like ten years watching you? Thanks for being a total sweetheart/champ.
Best video I’ve ever watched.
I’m even not squiding.
Oooooooooh . . .
🤣
The Flying Spaghetti Momster appreciates you mentioning his Noodly Appendages multiple times. Ramen.
Genius comment
yasss i love the hair Danielle
Ehhh
I for one welcome our new, cephalopod overlords
Can't be worse than our current politicians
Much more intelligent and able than Justin Trudeau.
Great content!! As always 😊
Shorter generations with a huge size predator is crazy.
That's part of why they're so ravenous. They go from being aroun 5 inches long to that massive size in only a few years, so they have to eating constantly to fuel that growth.
Your videos are always worth watching!!
Love your art Danielle. Keep up the great work.
I like the new look

great vid as always team 👍 love the necklace danielle
I love your glasses! You look great! Also, love squids! I have drawn a couple kraken pieces. :)
You should do an art show with all your drawings
Asking once again for the epaulette shark, the cutest in the ocean.
Been watching this channel for years. Love you 🫶🏽

I wouldn't be surprised if they travel across dimensions.
Danielle, you are an icon and one of my biggest inspirations artistically. This colossal squid that you just drew is absolutely breathtaking!!! ❤❤💛💛
Great video, thank you!
you're such a beauty in this episode
This is so cool and interesting and I'm excited for the future when we know more and you can make an update video about it!
So amazing that we've managed to see videos of these things alive in our lifetime.
Great video footage!
Awesome as always thanks ❤
Danielle looking like a snack as usual
Her jawline prolly stronger thank yours 💀
Danielle, you look sophisticated (and beautiful)
She is and fabulous artist
"The V-shaped stream of light across the beak is the last thing [the squid's prey] sees." Since the beasts are supposed to live a mile under water, there isn't much light. That's why sperm whales use echo-location to find them.
Unmatched animal drawing skills.
7:11 The eye on that Squid looks terrifying
I for one welcome our new tentacled overlords, in a few hundred million years when they are the dominant life form and start space travel
The cockroachs will exploit them for their awful flesh.

Fun Fact: The Kraken was originally interpreted as a Giant Crab before it shifted into the more now popular and well known Squid portrayal.
The sketching is a nice touch
She makes the art?! Wow, what a woman
Could we see something about the Monodontidae? I love whales and particularly the beluga and narwhal!
- I love *squid && octopus !* 🦑🐙 ♥️
Omg I can't believe I've found your channel again after four years !
“SQUEEED!”
is what my wife says when calamari is on the menu. She likes squid.

Seahorses!!❤️🐝🤗
YES!!!
Colossal Squid might become endangered. The Chinese fishing fleet is stripping the Southern Ocean of their primary food source, the Patagonian Toothfish/ Chilean Sea Bass.
Well that’s concerning
Danielle is looking great these days!!! yaaassss bish💙💙🙌🙌🙌
I thought that this was gonna be about squids. Instead, it was all about Gobby Gabby, the fish lady.
BUMMER.
From what I've heard, the Magnapinna that have been filmed were juveniles.
I always find it impressive that octopuses are among the most intelligent animals, but have such a short lifespan.
Superintetesante. Felicitaciones!😊
Yay! New episode!
I don't know why, but as a kid I thought squid had 6 legs. I think I might've seen a simplified image in a children's book.
The thing that makes the ocean scary, them and Jellyfish.
Thank you DD!

🧽: Eeh Squidward?

Squid always remind me of Splatoon I love them
Excellent video
Guys, was it just me or did the background music choices in this video make everything really intense? LOL
I love these guys
Mmmm. Love your art.
Here's the thing... These cephalopods look badass AF but they are prey to Sperm Whales. So Sperm Whales are really badass.
I wonder if you guys will make an episode on howler monkey's.
Animalogic is just one of the best shows 😎🖤💙🫡🇺🇸🇹🇹

How long until we see a TikTok about “I just had giant squid steak at this crazy restaurant!”
Still hoping for a coffee table picture book of your awesome illustrations!
make a video about prehistoric squids/cephalopods!
Love you Danielle! This time the music was a bit of a miss.
9:26 tell me you guys saw the black fins or tentacles of something behind it🫨
4:33 don't think I don't notice that pun now.
Bigfins are long but weigh very little. The dana octopus squid is the third largest after the colossal and giant squid.
The Lord of the Squid
The map you used doesn’t have Puerto Rico, but shows islands smaller than it.
Tentacruel of real world😍
Emperor Penguins next :3
isopod next
After watching this video I had a sudden compulsion to unlock my Illithid potential
Great calamari...so tasty sounding 😋
tastes like salty liquorice you say? i think plenty of dutch and finnish people would like to eat a gians squid
Yess my favourite animal
Lovely Squids! Please do the Ratal next🙏🙏"Honey Badger" international.
I have to ask. Where did you get your necklace?! I want one so bad!
Sponges & Starfish next?
5:55 Which also makes them taste like salty licorice...which is pretty gnarly
The Dutch: 😏😋🍴
And people thought they were made up. xD It shows that we are not even close to covering ever square inch of this planet.
Music from 3:50 - 4:50?
Magrathea?!?!? 42!!!
Squids are unique sea creatures.
Giant squids kind of reminds me of the Great Cthulhu and the other great old ones
