I wonder if whales have a similar enthusiasm as these researchers when they discover a sunken ship
Oh my God bill loook it's a sunken ship! XD
I'll have to ask brb
"ooowwWOOOOO. weeeooooOOO. OOOOOOWOOOOOOOH."
Sorry, I'm not 100% fluent in whale. Haven't watched Finding Nemo in a few years
@@Anonymous_Eyeballs he's speaking the language of gods
_Paws_ Whales don’t swim near the floor of the ocean, they probably almost never see shipwrecks
it is fun to be a marine biologist today. 1800's marine biologist are like, there's a Kraken.
Fringes those Kraken’s are whacked!!
Fringes ... or a bishop fish. Meh.
🤣🤣🤣
@JJ Sundra you just need a marin biologist or related degree i supposed. There are some videos with geologist, climatologist and paleontologist on board nautilus.
There were no "marine biologists" in the 1800's. Just nerds on fuckin whaling ships.
Man I want a job where me and my like minded colleagues essentially just explore the deep with a submarine and talk about how cool everything is. I'm sure there is real science happening but I'd rather assume you guys just poot around the ocean floor saying hi to dumbo octopuses and exploring long dead whale skeletons.
Eh you won't get funding that way
no its a lot less work than you think
"Two mysterious orbs in two weeks... just another day on the Nautilus" wow goosebumps. This is like science fiction!
Oh my god ... This is just way way too incredible: A natural whale fall 😲😂 wow, just ... Wow !!! Once again you guys on the Nautilis have rocked my world, this is like the tenth time my mind's been blown since I discovered this channel a month ago.
I had never even heard of a whale fall a few weeks ago - but now I'm very well versed in the topic ( for a lay person ) and that's all thanks to this channel; your previous whale fall video prompted a study session on the subject. I reacted in a similar way to other videos of yours and yeah , today I am MUCH more knowledgeable about the ocean and honestly I care so much more, or rather I feel so much more invested in ocean conservation than I did just a few short weeks ago before discovering The Ocean Exploration Trust and this channel.
Thank you so much EV Nautilis - you are literally changing my life and the lives of many many others all over the world!!
Respect!!
They really do a great job! And great to see that you learn so much about the ocean.
Are you aware that the Nautilus has a live video feed as well? Http://nautiluslive.org
Samir Oucherfi great way of looking at it
Changing your life by looking at whale bones? I just dont get it
@@DominikFretz
It says: "The page can't be found". 🤔
So I want to be a marine biologist.
But you dont want to pay for college
I'm. Very proud.
DogeZuelo probably won’t be doing this lmao
It does sound like a very interesting and fun job, especially if you like whales. As was already said, you probably won't be doing this very often, but the people in the video did say that marine biologists are often in contact with whale carcasses. I think you'll get enough knowledge of the insides of a whale from there haha. Just be careful to move away before they, you know... explode...
Do still want to?
This channel deserves so much more attention!!!
The white golfball/orb at the end is Heteropolypus, formerly Anthomastus, a colonial octocoral or soft coral. The common name is “mushroom coral”. The “pores” are where the polyps reside and they are retracted in this video.
lol okay
I loved this video! And the details on the worms..... OMG!!!
Truly strange! I love this channel!!!
So did you guys eventually confirm whether the golf ball was an anemone or not?
It's in the description of the video, it's a kind of snail iirc
Ti
"100 males in a single female." Massive sausage party.
Sounds like my ex
@Brody Massey you probably did lmao
Osedax or Piper Perri?
we are so lucky that we can have free access to such interesting material.
why did I get teary eyed?!! it is a special thing to have seen...
I love how much fun you guys have
5:06 “It’s exactly 10cm in diameter...a little bit larger.”
I need this channel in my life
Thanks for doing your part!
So cool! Can't wait to show students in school!!! Great job, guys and gals of the E/V Nautilus!
"take me with you!
i can see perfectly well,
look i can see that radiolarian over there"
"take me with you".
I love the interaction of these
scientists.. especially their professionalism and expertise.. 👍
Fantastic find guyz!
gorgeous find!
wow, just wow. so cool. thanks guys!
This is amazing. Thank you for sharing this.
I guess what is the most incredible video i saw in youtube
I 💘 this channel
Great job, to all of you.
How often are you finding new life previously unknown?
Wow love the channel ! Keep it up guys !!!!
Amazing!

This boosts my interest in taking Marine Biology as my course.
Elephant graveyard of the sea...you guys were blessed with a wonder this day. Thanks for sharing this amazing find!
Well okay, not a graveyard if a fall is natural. But you still kind of get that vibe.
That is amazing! I have never seen a natural whale fall before! Very cool!
I could watch this stuff all day.
I think some of these type of channels stream their antics so you technically could if you followed a few.
people: wow i found a chest of gold
Marine biologist: wow we found a natural whale fall
(I think finding one of those is like treasure for a biologist)
Fer shure... 😎
These videos are so interesting.
Amazing.
This sometimes feels like Mystery Science Nautilus Theater
Beautiful
why didn't you capture the pickleball
RIP whale
Very interesting I would like to be a marine biologist that is just incredible thing to stumble upon. But weird mushroom on 5min and 26secs
Pretty awesome.
"There can be something like hundreds of males within a single female...Wow"
Those worms sound like they know how to party:)
What kind of parties do you attend??
It’s like the Houston 500!
Minke Whale?
when i die, make me a human fall
It's called burial at sea. Yes, it is legal; I have told my family that this is what I want when I die.
Guys, please.... I need a job. This would be the coolest job on the planet. Can I apply? :)
Oh, that's easy! Just go get that degree in biology and then... oh :/
McDonald’s is hiring
At the various phases of consumption of the carcass I would imagine sea stars and worms To be among the most common, next to crabs/crustaceans?
I kinda just want to know what those mushroom like lumps on the mandible are.
Sooooo cool.
Makes me wish i had kept going with my dream to do this. Too late now though🤷🏽♂️
I’m learning.
Wow nature ! Geez louise!
3:20 - (On the 4th vertebrae up)
Is that something connecting the vertebrae, or is that something growing out from under the vertebrae?
I can't tell fully, but it looks like it's passing through the middle, and onto the next across, though that may be just from lack of depth perception.
At 02:36, since one observer is talking of perhaps needing to examine a vertebrae to establish species, why wasn't one of the loose vertebrae on the right of the whale fall seen at 03:10 picked up - I'm sure collecting that would compensate for one rock less being collected and I presume they were rock collection from what was said at the end of this video excerpt.
Was that one of the Tympanic bones (ear) laying on the skull ??
It looks like a small or juvie humpback, based off the area it would be a good guess!
Did anyone discover what kind of whale this as? And did any other team come back to this whale fall to do follow up work on it?
Cool!
"It's exactly 10cm in diameter, or a bit bigger."
"60% of the time, it works *everytime* "
@@VinylUnboxings 😄😄 gold lol
0:29 "Pew pew"
That’s whaly nice
Any baleen ? Good for corsets and baskets.
It looks to me as if the whale fell on its back, and rot like this, and then the jaw fell on the side. Do you agree ? The vertical shots were quite clear for that, I think.
What is a while fall? just a bone yard basicly?
It's the specific spot a dead whale carcass fell to the ocean floor. By saying its a "natural whale fall" means it was a wild animal that died naturally on its own in the open ocean; ie: it was not beached and hauled out by boats.
Scotty Ah wow thats interesting, thank you :)
+Scotty - fascinating. Thanks for the description
I would love to do this
Wow
at about 3:23, it looks like one of the pelvis bones on a rock.
I'm probably doing this in the science department now
Whale falls are much better than whale summers.
Have there been comparative studies of people who are buried at sea? That's how I'm going to be buried, and now I'm curious about what will happen.
what did the previous mysterios purple orb end up being anyway ? they never said
Tentatively it's a pleurobranch. Science takes time, and announcing a new species is a big deal so the scientists involved need to be triple sure. But they're thinking it may be a new species of pleurobranch.
locolobos0035 ohhh thanks
It’s a coral, specifically Heteropolypus.
Did they say how far down it is ?
The Nautilus ventures in the midnight zone, from 1000 meters to as low as 6000 meters I believe.
There are many benefits to being a marine biologist
we know more about space than we do about our own ocean
This would appear to be a Eschrichtius Robustus aka gray whale, among the smaller baleen whales commonly found off the coasts of California. Reaching 39ft in length as adults and considered stable in population currently to date. They tend to have lots of barnacles and lice. It is one of only two living species in its genus which the other being the Akishima whale. It's only natural predators are orcas (killer whales) and humans. They can live between 40-60 years naturally and they feed on invertebrates by sucking up mud from the bottom of the ocean floor and can stay submerged for up to 30 minutes.
I know I'm late by 4 years lol but I'm thinking humpback without looking at the comments.
is remote controlled?
radio ? ?
SUPER COOL VIDEO I love how so much life benefits from a single death thanks guys more please
Better than observing an artificial whale fall.
Depth?
Late reply, but to qualify as a whale fall, it's 1000 meters or below
so is that red thing the worms?
Omg!!!
Is that purple coral likely to survive? How did it get there and grow to be this big, anyway; doesn't coral need sunlight to grow? I'm not sure how deep you guys were here, but it does look like the bottom of the ocean...somewhere. Could more of it potentially grow on this skeleton?
There are corals that live at great depths, and the ones that require sunlight do because of the bacteria that they live in symbiosis with requires it for their photosyntethis
The corals that live on dark areas probably have symbiont bacteria that uses other sources of energy (organic matter maybe)
Interesting
Has anyone provided a species ID for those worms with the weird life cycle?
Who's is the feathered practice ball?
Can u tell how long a whale has been dead when its like this, or would it be more by how much has been eaten? How long has this one been dead?
Rest In Peace

Cool
So what do the laser points represent? like a few inches?
length yes. probably adjustable, but I think they said 10 cm in this video.
are you guys in the drone thing or is it a remote control thing?
I think it's an ROV.
Oh loookkkk a starfishhh at the start of the video
I have a question for you guys so, In this game I play; subnautica, there is an area and what it is is there is the water, but then there is another.... liquid and it is heavier then water and it is some sort of acid, have you guys seen this at all, like, in our ocean?
Look up some of their videos about brine pools.
I heard her ask about lasers. What do they do with lasers?
I would love to see some kind of scale to see just how large those bones are. It would really help to understand also the landscape we see. Like, how big are those boulders?
the laser dots they often use are 10 cm apart, you have to guess with that information. its nearly impossible to guess the size without disturbing the bones
Not "parasitic". Commensal = living in/on the host but causing no damage/injury.
j alspach Did u not see them boring into the bone? Pretty sure that’s damage.
@@@ruzahel6287, female voice says they are Osedax bone eating worms and points out an interesting fact that all the worms visible are females and all the males live within the females while briefly describing their reproduction. Male voice says, "...so they're parasitic?" Asking about the males living inside the females. She says yes. That is NOT "parasitic." The males are considered commensal. For a further comprehension lesson within this context, did it not occur to you the definition of "parasite" requires that it occupy a LIVING host not dead tissue or bone. Think before you click.
Wouldn't it be mutualisim, because the female can reproduce with the males?
Just went over this in class yesterday, and trying to flex my limited, incomplete knowledge as soon as possible to strangers online. XD
@@@Ranstone Since I cannot find any specific term, in cross-searches, representing the unique specificity in this case may I suggest "intra-species commensalism". Mutualist commensalism just becomes more ambiguous. Great question though.
@@jalspach9215
I was trying not to sound like a know it all, but it actually is mutualisim. I'm going to uni for oceanography. Good luck!
I wonder how long that giant had been lying there on the bottom of the ocean in silent darkness. I would have had to take one of those loose vertebrae back with me.
