Return to the Davidson Seamount Whale Fall | Nautilus Live

- What a difference a year makes!
In October 2020, E/V Nautilus returned to the Davidson Seamount whale fall in Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary to find a dramatically different scene from the one discovered just the year before.
During the final dive of the 2019 Nautilus expedition season, our team discovered the skeletal remains of the baleen whale lying on its back.
“It is so different,” noted scientists aboard the vessel.
A whale fall occurs when a deceased whale descends to the seafloor, bringing with it a banquet of vital nutrients to deep-sea scavengers. A side-by-side comparison of the 2020 visual survey taken by ROV Hercules in 2019, showed that the whale fall had undergone dramatic density changes in the 12 months since our last visit. Whereas the whale fall was once covered in a thriving abundance of life in October 2019, it was nearly devoid of organisms just a year later.
“The rib bones are just kind of disintegrated there,” said Lead Scientist Chad King. “The whole rib cage was supported last year. I mean, it was still upright and everything.”
We sampled large pieces of bone in order to further characterize the whale and the process of decomposition that it underwent, and then we “waved goodbye” - until next year.

Watched this live last year. What a change. Thank you for going back.
Me too, so cool to see the return and subsequent changes. One of the best channels.
And i watched it live this year
Same 😳
@Kasia lmao that's what he meant, he even said thank you for going back...
@Kasia how about you get your reading glasses?
So so glad they did the side by side comparisons so I didn't have to pull up the old video and flip back and forth. Little stuff like that makes a huge difference for the community (:
"Lead Scientist Chad King" Best name of the history of names
What a high T name
name already taken by frank hassle
@@BasedPeanutButterEnjoyer You don't really want high T, though. It can cause heart attacks, abnormal prostate growth, sleep apnea, blood clots in veins or lungs, and a number of other awful medical conditions.
@@LexYeen somebody's been taking a medical class and was desperate to randomly share an unnecessary fact...
@@ATalkingBadger its not for me
The clear enthusiasm in the scientists' voices is absolutely fantastic - so much passion for their work.
when someone is really really into something, it becomes clear as they speak about it. And these guys really draw me in. Sounds so interesting as they talk about it
Ok
Not like religious people always spread hate
That “Geronimo” was just, hilarious 😭🥴
@Nandra4974 YOU TAKE THAT BACK!
It's great that our current technology allows us to see video like this and the live reactions of those there too. It's informative and interesting!
just imagine this but on another planet
agreed
@@EvilNecroid You hoping we crack FTL communications someday?
Sionse is amazing.
@@AshenElk yes ;)
if they'd told me this was a job when i was in school....
you wouldn't have gone into a career at mcdonalds?
ikr?
Good luck. I doubt theres more then 2-3 teams in operation at any one point in time. You might as well go and study how to win the lottery.
@@Chaos------ Then make more teams, the reason for so few teams i pretty sure has more to dow with how few people seek this as a living than else.
That and money, but money is always just a bad excuse for not doing something you want.
If you don't have the money, make the money.
Yeah its my dream job. Try an get on as a mechanic haha
2000: watching grass grow
2020: watching a whale decay
????: watching stable iron decay
2001: watching steel beams melt
@Repentless Pride every single time..... its either hotter than lava and has exploded all over or is cold as ice in the middle, whoever designed microwaves needs a slap on the wrist
@@radekmraz1432 you do realize oxygen can make fire hotter? also dont need melted beams to collapse a tower, just hot enough to make more malleable. the warmer it gets the more like playdoh it gts. foh dumbass claiming something that you never researched. jet fuel with intake of oxygen can get hot enough.
2020 watching Democratic States Burn their own cities down after Republicans win the election. Just watch!
I watched this live. It was amazing that you could find such a small target in such a vast ocean! Well done Nautilus!
How did they find it the first time? Was the whale tagged before it died?
@@sisamusudroka3000 they just wander around the area. I heard from another video of theirs that most of their time is spent in barren, empty darkness until they stumble upon some life. And this whale fall is one of the things they wandered to last year.
It’s nice to see more nautilus groups. I am a student of Dr. Gregory Barord, who helps “save the nautilus” and this is amazing as it helps give people insight into what nautilus do and give more information about them.
2:48 Yellow rope waves bye whale
Sure enough.
I saw that too
AWW!
Yes!! I noticed this so fast hahah it looks super cute and fitting
2050: watching aliens walk
ДА, ЭТО YES!
hello
yoo vg omgmgmgmg
Aliens walk in wide
the bottom of the ocean is a half-day away-- the nearest habitable planet is hundreds of light years away. So.... no...you're wrong
Some Hilarious Intern in the background at 2:00 , ''Geronimo!!''
Stuff like this should be put into a repository of videos for different jobs to show to schoolkids. I keep discovering stuff like this across a huge range of employments and wish I'd started down those paths as a kid.
"Humerus, not in the "it makes you laugh" kind of humerous"
"That's the ulna, that's the funny bone"
*claw grabs piece*
WOOOOOOWWWWW!!!
I lost it at that joke. Biology jokes best jokes.
This scientists got jokes!
@@laartje24 Its a bad joke because she is wrong. Dont let her confidence fool you.......the so called "Funny Bone" can refer to one of two ianatomically nter-related structures depending on how you look at it.
It can either be the part of the Ulnar NERVE as it passes the Medial Epicondyle of the Humerus, or it can be the Medial Epicondyle of the Humerus itself.
So its either the NERVE, or its a part of the Humerus bone. Either way it is definiely not the Ulna Bone.
She's lucky she's not in med school nor a physician........we would never let her live that down.
That's funny, reading this while hearing from the video
Humorous.
It’s crazy you went back and it’s actually still there
Hello there
It's not like it could swim away lol
UçmakİstemeyenKuş General Kenobi
Where was it gonna go?
@@fazsum41 you are a bold one
Imagine joining a Discord call and seeing 4 people talking about a decomposing Seamount Whale
This whale fall isn't going away anytime soon. The marrow inside the bones will slowly break down, giving fuel to chemosynthesis based organisms (eg. Zombie worms 😨) for decades. Even once most of the organics are broken down the remaining skeleton can function as a hard substrate reef. 🌎❤
That's so cool and interesting! Thank you, smart person! 👍
@tyvek05 It's not my theory. I learned all about whale falls in my Marine Biology courses at the University of Florida. Not all whale falls are the same of course but they usually last a surprisingly long time ❤
also can work as a zombie whale
@tyvek05 thats a surprisingly small minded comment from someone trying to prove someone else wrong why wouldn't you at least try researching the topic before you prove how smart you are to others
Jesus will raise the whale up on the Last Day
"Bone eating worms" I didn't even know such things existed.
just pour some water on it and make it drown .... oh wait
Well, bone is organic therefore something HAS to eat it. Maybe you're surprised it wasn't just bacteria.
Just bacteria would take a long time.
@@Scarletraven87 the thing is there is almost no organic left if it even left. These worms are extremals for sure.
Tbf they apparently don't really eat the bone, they just burrow in it to get to the jelly inside
This is the first youtube channel I have come across of actual scientists doing science/ making discoveries live.
I love this channel so much. The scientists in each video make you feel part of the journey and bring the wonderful world of exploration right into our homes with amazing footage to boot. I always laugh when something cool happens on screen and I end up saying “woah!” at the same time as the team. There’s only good vibes to be found here - Thank you for sharing your world with us! :)
As soon as I stop watching they finally go and look for something more interesting than a sea sponge.
These are very nice to watch, always nice to see or learn something new
I don’t know how I got here but I’m glad I did. Something about watching keen scientists/biologists interacting with nature just seems like the only wholesome thing I need.
2:52 the yellow rope is also waving goodbye XD
CZcams: wanna see a dead whale?
Me: Sure, why not. Wait, what?...
these comments suck
@@kony2023 Yep
,,wanna see a dead whale?'' Just have a look on Roseanne Barr if she ever drowns in her bath tub one day ....
@@simonm1447 That's rude.
@@simonm1447 didnt think you could do worse than the OP but here we are
Amazing. Me and my kids geek out every time you guys put out new videos.
You can imagine the sea creatures when they discover ROV Hercules just chilling there:
"My mates are never going to believe this."
Those sea creatures must be Australian?
These are the times I constantly thank CZcams for these kinds of videos.
man this is the type of comentary that would make watching sports worth it! that was refreshing!
I randomly tuned into the broadcast last year just before they found it and watched it live, thank you for coming back
The most fun part of all your films are that there are a couple of "nerds" behind mic's who get crazy enthusiastic by seeing one teeny tiny living thingamebob swimming in front the camera. I share those feelings though cause I love the ocean with everything in it, but it still is something that gives me the biggest smile during the film. ;-)
Your humourous does NOT make you laugh,
It makes EVERYONE ELSE laugh 😂😂
“bye octopus we’ll be back don’t worry!”
I watched this last year, too! So cool! I LOVE whale falls!! It makes me wonder what the whaling industry did to these deep sea habitats.
There is ongoing research to address this question. The extirpation of great whales from the North Atlantic a century ago may have led to the extirpation or even extinction of some species that specialized on whalefalls there.
@@timbray1815 I’ve read that research and find it all so fascinating and tragic.
why is this so wholesome?
Greetings from Mr. Robert Marc Lehmann.
Aw it’s so nice to watch these videos
The new subnautica update looks great!
Imagine you are having dinner then suddenly a bright light shone upon you and a giant hand grabs some of your food.
When u waited a whole year just to see how it turned out. Thank you Nautilus for the follow up.
Really puts into perspective how much organic material a whale carries in its body. Also reminds me of Subnautica. Love it!
Y’all a Brave Bunch! Thank you and stay safe!
The sub is remotely piloted
I have no clue why CZcams recommended this, but i'm glad it did.
Thansk for returning back!
Wow, what a wonderful privilege to be able to revisit this site.
Love these videos, thank you for sharing, those dumbo squid are so cute and all the amazing creatures you have found.
The candid conversations always win me over.
Juhuuuuu ihr seid zurück. Ich freue mich immer wenn ihr online kommt
This is so interesting.. Thank You E/V Nautilus crew for feeding my curiosity.
Why was this video disliked??? Its amazing to see.
didnt think this is where my Monday night would take me.
glad it did
Wonder who got out of sight at the first hint of your lights before you could get the skeleton in view. Thanks for the follow up.
I missed the live dive but glad you posted it. Been watching the live stream since early Sept almost every day. LOVE IT!
That whale gave a lot of creatures countless dinners!! Love the cycle of life. You always serve some purpose
Idk why this was recommended to me but damn this is cool
Wow! You CAME back!
Whale was sold piece by piece. ;)
Wow there is an entire whole world under the sea
The change in the Whale Fall is insane!!
They sound like such a chill crew
whale falls are something so fascinating to me
It's so cool you went back, thank you.
This is incredible. I remember watching this a year ago.
I got to say, the quality in video here is pretty outstanding. Great stuff
i could watch that for hours
Amazing channel, thank you! Mission Erde
1:57 its so cute how the little crab jumps out there
I have a tip that may greatly increase your views and subscribers. When I occasionally went to bars in the 90’s, one of the bars had a large tv on the wall that was kept on the nasa channel (I believe) with a continuous live stream of the moon. It was just there for ambience. I don’t think people looked at it much because the image never changed - pretty boring. But I could imagine thousands (or millions) of recreational imbibers (ok, drunks) all over the world staring up at your live streams from their local bars and restaurants, watching the relaxing scenery constantly change as the submersible gently flys over the ocean floor and the relaxed party goers try to spot the local flora and fauna (and even learn how to identify them). People in bars get bored and like to have things to watch and do if they’re not currently in a conversation, thus figuring out a way to advertise this channel to bars and restaurants could prove advantageous for everyone. I see a huge potential for this method of outreach in getting people interested in marine biology - especially the undecided majors. And I’m sure it could be the source if many fun drinking games - having to take a drink every time a certain species is spotted. Bass pro shops has a huge aquarium in their restaurant that provides much entertainment for the diners - it gives people something to watch while they visit with each other. You’re channel is even better because there’s more to see since the scenery is constantly changing.
Such a pleasant surprise to see an update on this
Omg I remember watching the video in 2019 and I completely forgot about this! It’s insane how much it has changed in just a little over a year
Now I want to study Marine Biology and join this crew...its too wholesome and a dream
Yes this is what we are waiting for
Have no idea why CZcams recommended me this. I can't remember watching anything sea-related for years.
"bone-eating worms" is such a cursed term when taken out of context.
Sounds like a dnd monster.
2:01 "Geronimooo!"
Hundreds of thousands people are watching a skeleton dissolved in the bottom of deep sea. Year after year
"Jumpin ship" 😂😂😂
2:01 “Geronimo”
Awesome, thx for posting.
Absolutely stunning.
Aww, cute little octopuses!
Imagine live dives that the public could watch.
And roast the animals 🤣
Been binging all the videos cuz I love the sea creatures and the people getting excited over the sea creatures. :”)
It’s like finding an ancient mythical creature
"It was nearly devoid of organisms just a year later." Not really. It still had a significant amount of animals around it, and a ton of bacteria eating the skeleton.
Why would they not expect a drastic difference over an entire year? The way they said it was like they came back a week later.
@@bushisback112 I never said there wasn't a clear difference in the number of organisms. I said it still had a large amount of organisms around it.
@@andyfriederichsen Im not saying you said anything.. Im just saying why were the people in the video acting so surprised and saying "just a year later" as if a year isn't a significant amount of time?
Omg thank you for going back!!!
Its amazing how beautiful a dead animal can be.
that is sound very wrong... did you have beautiful dead animal you keep at home?...
@@susMeowMiau I do. I collect bones and preserved specimens. We are all unique pieces of artwork in this world, and like we have seen here in the video, our bodies give life and meaning to the living in innumerable ways. Death can be gruesome and beautiful at the same time.
MeowMiau343 we do! he sits on the computer all day and is currently typing a youtube comment in a video about whale bones. What a weirdo
Vegans have entered the chat!
That came out really wrong, and out of context, can be used for all sorts of dark jokes.
Planet Earth is really beautiful.
This seems like such a fun project to be a part of
this is so cool. not just the whale fall itself and how it changed, but to see how you navigate to it and see the vastness of just this teeny tiny bit of the ocean floor and how similar it all looks. like an underwater desert where you can´t navigate just by visual clues. on the other hand, i doubt that any creatures down there navigate by sight. or do they?
I’ve always enjoyed these videos in school.
More than a space, we feel like we need to explore sea more. Like the outer space, there are no oxygen. However everything is liquid and planktons. I wish that sea exploration is a thing for all the people out there. Seeing this makes me think there are more life down there to find answers of how earth is made. Please keep this up!
1:41
can we take a moment to marvel at this flappy fish
@krakenx40
I think it’s the kind of fish that feeds on the back of manta rays, don’t remember the name.
THis is so chill to watch
Thankyou whale for feeding the xmas crustaceans. They look delicious.
Wow, it's been cleaned out. Thank you so much for the update.
"Rest In Piece"
"I'll just have me some of that! Grab a rib, too! Poor creature."
very cool to see the changes side by side.
thats cool to see a revisit
Nothing goes to waste in nature.
this just goes to show how special fossils are and how specific circumstances need to be to create them
