- Deep Sea Aggregations Explained.
In the deep sea, going alone is rarely an option. The harsh environments of the deep ocean are an imposing challenge for a lone organism to face, as the dark conceals many dangers, while dazzling bioluminescence deceives unwitting prey. For this reason, deep sea animals tend not to spread out. Instead, wherever possible, they come together in their masses to create abundant patches of life in the lonely depths. Hotspots of biodiversity, in stark contrast with the otherwise barren stretch of darkness. Safety in numbers is a fool-proof survival strategy that increases their chances of finding food, evading predation, or having reproductive success in the endless blue. From vibrant coral gardens and deep sea scavenger communities, to expansive jellyfish blooms that cloud the ocean surface, these are the animal aggregations of the oceans.

This channel is criminally unique and undervalued!
I don't think it's under valued.. it's growing so fast and deservedly so 👍✌
Thank you both so so much!!
@@NaturalWorldFacts you are wholeheartedly very welcome!
Way way underrated I thank you for all hard work for great content.
Considering that they ignore _easily accessible_ information on certain animals whilst also ignoring comments correcting such inaccuracies... You'd be better off elsewhere.
I enjoy their videos, too, but I would take what they present with a grain of salt. I won't make some seawater gag, that would be too much.
Seeing those lantern fish dart about and illuminate themselves to avoid the octopuses was mesmerising
They’re incredible!!!
thats how they get ya
When I hear this gentleman’s voice describing such sea life with such passion I feel like I’m listening to a meditation app. It’s like calming and fascinating at the same time! :) ☮️
either its calming or theres passion...hes talking as softly as Ben Stein and if you know him, theres no inflection of passion like the guys like Carl Sagan or the science guy. If you can imagine passion in that bland tone, then everyone has passion to you, no?
The new David attenborough
As we all say, lol 👍👍
Not really
As soon as I saw the science paper covering the largest deep sea colony ever recorded. I instantly thought about you and your channel and it's content and scientific coverage. They were mapping the ocean floor and then stumbled upon Seemingly never ending nest's of ice fish at the bottom of the Antarctic Ocean. Something scientists have never seen before. They have lots to learn about how the colony supports itself. These ice fish have clear blood appearently, they don't have hemoglobin in blood like we do appearently. It's facinating they each have their own circular nest, they think the female passes away after reproduction. Then the male guards the babies eggs.
Whaoa do you have the paper name?
What an amazing video and channel, and a great reminder to us all why our oceans inhabitants are so important. I noticed some clips I have seen from the Nautilus Live channel, another group that does great work. I think I’ll be rewatching this and sharing it to all I know.
Thank you for such a wonderful comment! This one particularly was a joy to put together, and yes Nautilus Live is an obsession of mine 😆 it’s always on in the background, I find the passion in the voices of the scientists infectious!
I agree totally about this video and channel...one of the best around! Every video is stunning. I also enjoy the Nautilus channel, including the commentary...they always sound like they're having a great time doing what they love. Nothing beats Leo's narration, though!
Bro, I swear. You have one of the greatest ASMR voices. Keep doing what you're doing.
Aw thank you so much!
The quality of your programs is next level. Your stuff is so fantastic that I have a hard time understanding why you don't have millions of followers. You will though. Keep it up. You will.
Thank you Amanda. That’s incredibly motivating!!
i love to watch your channel when i need to get out of my head and my life. i think it’s important to think about all of the beautiful complex vibrant things that are happening in the world all the time. it’s not just us.
i watch this channel while i work, so thanks for the uploads
That’s so lovely! Thank you for commenting 😊
I watch one masterpiece only to discover another new one. You're a sublime talent Leo. Thank You for the education as always.
Very informative.. 👏 Thank you for all your hard work, Leo
Thank you so much, your comments always make me smile :)
Your voice is so calming I could listen to these videos all day 😍
Thank you as always 😊 that’s so lovely of you aww!
I must say, this video is the equal to any other you've produced to date. You combine excellent musical choices with skilled writing and narration and beautiful videography to explain the incredible complexity and detail of marine ecology.
I hope your time at University is going well and that you'll use your skills to further expand marine biological knowledge in both the academic setting as well as for the general public.
I look forward to more of your videos.
THIS IS SO HIGH QUALITY. After a long day, studying, online school, homework, practicals. This is a Haven. Will be watching your works.
Aww thank you so much Laura!!!! How has school been? Really glad my videos are a nice break :))
@@NaturalWorldFacts busy. Lots. Do you have a team or something???????? These deserve to be on television.
@@NaturalWorldFacts going back to studying. Hope your doing fine tho with all these work. Scary burnouts. YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!! I got your video from the algorithm so This is A Really Great Thing.
yay you uploaded
Hope you enjoy :D
Love the choice of music, it makes the video more exciting to watch and overall gorgeous
Aw I’m so glad! Picking the music is my favourite part :)
Perfect learning material....keep up the good work....:)
Thank you so much, I really appreciate that :D
i swear your videos are probably better produced, more informative and more interesting than pretty much most documentaries out there, watching them always makes my day better
Another amazing video! Keep up the great work
I would love to see Leo do a video on fresh water fish in the fraser valley British Columbia, from mountain lake fish, to sturgeon in the Fraser River, that would be absolutely superb, and I know of no other channel that could do it better. Thank you for your contributions Leo!!!
Oh that sounds fascinating!!! I’ll put it on my list :)
@@NaturalWorldFacts thank you Leo!!! Made my day!!!
the sea has amazing animals. some are active, some are sedentary but all are awesome
The part with the sardines reminds me of this one poem from this book of ocean poems I read the heck out of when I was younger, it went something like this:
"Ripples of fear, the flash of a spear--evasive maneuvers, a marlin is here! Zig! Now Zag! Now Dart! Now swerve! A blur of sardines hurtles into the curve. They swivel around and go into a spin, then scatter like sparks when the hunter swoops in. A quicksilver blizzard! Look out below-"
It's been years and I still remember the whole thing! 😂 It's always amazing watching these creatures move!
Leo Richards,
Awesome video.
Keep up the good work.
My kids and I love watching your Documentaries.
Your videos are so informative and relaxing to watch .
As excellent as this channel is, it wouldn’t be the same without you, Leo. Thanks for doing an outstanding job. 🐨🇦🇺
One thing I never read about in the comments here is the effects used on the narration. The very subtle reverb is a wonderful touch and gives depth, or volume, to the awesome world you're so beautifully describing to us.
These videos are so fantastic. We appreciate you making them. This channel is so undersubscribed it’s ridiculous
Excellent work, boss. And what a calm, calm voice. Its amazing. Your voice is perfectly suited for You instructor or a meditation instructor.
The sea world is amazing!
AMAZING video and information. The narrator's voice was so soothing and inviting. Thank you for this wonderful video.
Just found this channel man. This man has the most calming and soothing voice ever.
Holy moley thank you so much!! 😁
I've been watching this channel a few years, and I just wanted to say your voice talent is top knotch.👌you were born to do this. And this is indeed vital and very important work. We can't ever let people lose touch with the exquisite beauty and awe of the natural world.
a reminder that despite our efforts to make it smaller, the earth is still a vast and wild place, most of which we don't recognizance.
While our impact can be observed in places like the deepest reaches of the ocean, the potential for such environments to benefit us (in ways other than blind, destructive exploitation) has yet to be ascertained.
We live in an amazing house and we've so far only explored a few of the rooms, yet our actions have repercussions which threaten the foundations.
Thank you for showing me some things that I would otherwise never get to see.
I love this channel and it's videos so much!
Thank you so much 🥲
This might be the best yet. I can’t wait to see what you do in the future - keep it up 🥰
Thank you so so much Allison ☺️
I love this channel, whenever I go into the comments all i see is endless and deserved praise - truly congratulations for your passion and hard work thank you NWF
I found this channel very recently and I can't believe I've been missing out for so long. This is amazing content!
The deep ocean is such a mysterious place. I’ve always been obsessed with it from childhood, it’s truly amazing and one thing that’s always amazed me is the possibilities of all of the fossils from millions of years we have not found waiting in the deep
Your videos are all so amazing and educational
Awesome
Dazzling footage with such a soothing voice….so perfect
Your voice is but a pure gem, making your videos even more rewarding to watch.
your videos are so horrifically soothing
Another great video - and particularly intriguing music choice for this one, too. Thank you!
"The prospect of plankton platter" 🎶 Excuse me, but not only is this possiby the best short-form natural documentary channel on youtube, it's also written like pure poetry!
Beautiful footage, yet again.
Great video! thanks a lot Leo.
This channel is so unique if you want to train your english listening skils. I was preparing for my English exam and have had such a good sleep!
Well done, again! I'm loving your topic selections.
Love the content on this channel, great commentary and information. Would love to see videos on terrestrial animals as well!
Notification squad reporting in !
😆 Ready for action?
@@NaturalWorldFacts Got a Bathysphere?
I wish 😭
bruh, good job... we really love your channel
DUDE, the production is sooooooo good
This channel deserves so much more
Another amazing video, I'm always excited to see you have uploaded. thank you so much.
Great work!
Wonderful work as always! I was most fascinated by how intricate the deep sea sponges were.
absolutely incredible, as always!
Love your videos also hoping to get some heart😂❤️
Thank you so much 😁☺️ that means the world! ❤️
I really loved the narrator's voice, so soothing. I used the videos to help me sleep sometimes 🙏🏻😊

Beautiful.
This is what TH-cam is all about.
you deserve millions of subs and millions of views on all your videos. i honestly thought this was nat geo this whole time???? amazing job
Very beautiful footage!
These are beautifully done videos and contain not just technical information but retain the wonder of the vast ocean and its denizens. It reminds me of watching Jacques Cousteau in amazement as a kid. Thankyou
ur videos are so relaxing :)
Thanks again Leo
Amazing videos and narration.
🇧🇷
I am both absolutely terrified and yet intrigued.
Excellent Narration of Deep Sea Animal Adatation. Whale fall community in detail will be more interesting 👍👍
What a fantastic narrator and channel, BBC should snap you up!
Lovely and stellar as always
I love your channel thankyou
i was scared that after david attenborough dies i will never have the joy of watching the seas and its creatures the same way again. But you my friend put hope in my future. Please make 1000 more.
The next David Attenborough, please keep it up man. This is amazing.
Love these
Very soothing. Sooo soothing, sometimes I have to go back several minutes because I miss the point due to your hypnotizing voice 😅😅
So relaxed now.
Hell yeah 4:00 AM gang again!
GET SOME BLOODY SLEEP
I love your channel so much
Just found your channel, awesome videos man 👍👍
Thanks so much Danny 😁
Thank you 💙
I'm terrified of fish but videos like yours are very nice and makes me help overcome the fear of fish alongside get new information, thanks!
fish are friends! take your time, my sister is afraid of statues, some things take a while to over come
thanks for helping me study zoology
Besides the excellence of the movies by Natural World Facts and my own love and passion for the circle of life, I like Leo's soft voice,but not every killing and dying in the deep sea needs a voice over as soft as for lovely puppies playing on a sunny day.
;) ... (:
You make brilliant vids mate, supreme excellence in content assembly, narrated with the calm bliss of a Buddhist monk leaving us in awe non-stop to the end...
One question though: could you make a vid about the effects of uv light on underwater life? I know it can be wild what's to be seen that way, yet I can't seem to find more than a couple of doc's where it's partially the subject, and/or a handful of snippets. It seems you know to find amazing footage, please, enlighten us with that stuff
Regardless, _Thank You So Very Much_ for doing what you do. This makes my (our) life (v/s) better cause it makes up for a lot of miserable stuff this site is rich in, and perhaps our lives too
The unknown of the ocean makes me both curious and terrified
I love this channel
It's educational, fascinating and so damn relaxing that I can sleep like a baby while watching a playlist
Bravo, Leo ❤
Good video
WOW! 9:57 Avatar plant very nice
Love your videos, can you do one that covers elephant seal deep dives?
Best channel on TH-cam, I wonder what the difference between aggregations and congregations are?
This is nice
I just came across this amazing new animal channel. You should really give it a try. All Animals Always.
That Carrier Crab "hiding" under that little sponge is like Bigfoot trying to hide behind a slash pine.
