- Deep Sea Skates and Rays.
While sharks have become rulers of the open ocean, the skates and rays have conquered the seabed in their place, making up the superorder Batoidea. With their distinct shape, skates and rays have become highly efficient predators of life beneath the sediment. Different species make use of different strategies. Bottom-dwelling species such as skates are often ambush predators, burying themselves in the sediment and lying motionless before snapping up passing creatures. This behaviour also protects the rays from being spotted by predators. In contrast, eagle rays and cow nose rays gather in graceful schools. To hunt, they dig invertebrates from the sediment using their prominent snouts or by beating their wings. Manta rays are truly pelagic, spending their lives in the open ocean and feeding in a very different way.

Sharks: Yeah you can copy my homework
Rays: Don't worry I'll change it a little

@@fuckboy4278 chill dude
The Orca suddenly stunning the Ray was a shock.
i saw it coming and thought “oh please don’t eat it” and it passed by and i was relieved and then WHAM OH MY GOD HES DEAD
@@robine9295 Orcas are a bit like that - almost as if they enjoy mentally toying with both their prey and onlookers.
I was exactly the same as you when it passed by underneath, then...WHAM!!
A predator has gotta eat - hopefully the ray didn't know too much about it.
@@ianmacfarlane1241 they also use that method to kill them and it makes since, as the stinger is above, not below.
Maybe it was this channel but I remember a video where an orca killed a baby whale and just carried it around like a trophy😭
Probably just did it for fun too :/ The power they have in their tail is cool to see though
That opening shot is other worldly.
Okay yeah the Deepsea skate is now lowkey one of my favorite rays.
Yup, I gasped...
I'm seriously excited for the day where this channel has a massive library of nature facts that can be used as a legit study material for schools. Extremely informational, easy to understand and doesn't treat the viewer like an idiot. I love every video
5:40 "Rays are also an important source of prey for larger fish"
Ray: *gets yeeted by orca*
I’ve witnessed a mantra ray swim above me as I was scuba diving. I could only see the silhouette of it, and it was the most incredible thing I’ve ever seen in my entire life.
Another banger incoming, they are always so peaceful.
Aww thanks :)
@@NaturalWorldFacts No problem, if anything I should be thanking you for making such great content.
@granny smith Aw thanks and no worries 😁
I expect top marks haha!!
@granny smith 😁 you too man
Seeing the rays breaching the waves and jumping out was the first I've saw. Absolutely mesmerizing- I've got another level of respect of Skates and Rays now :0
That devil ray swarm is just magnificent
I like to think the creator of these videos found out about chimaeras, became obsessed and went on a deep dive (pun intended) into learning about it, and that’s the entire reason they decided to make videos about the deep sea and all it’s creatures
Amazing work as always Leo!
To be completely honest, that is EXACTLY what happened, but substitute Chimaeras for Greenland Sharks! 🙊 I got obsessed, and it led me down a rabbit hole of deep-sea fascination and now here I am, making videos about it and studying marine biology at uni!!
Thank you so much for the lovely comment. 😊
I didn't know that they hunted in large packs, very interesting
Thank you for making so much on the ocean. We need more people to teach about what's in the ocean since we barely explore it anymore.
Well said!!
Yes! rays and skates getting their well deserved spotlight! Batoidea are such unique and wonderful animals, amazing video as always!
There's something so calming about your videos, I feel like I'm getting professional content for free. =)
I'm in love with this channel and the way you cover the ocean.
Aww yay, I’m so glad!!
Same. Due to some of the wonderful music choices, too, I found my way to a game called Abzu - and BECAUSE of this channel, I got so much out of that game!!! I was able to identify a lot of the creatures in the abyssal plain chapter, even. Thank you so much for all the hard work you put in for these videos!
@@Beryllahawk Oh! Abzu is an amazing game. So beautiful. If you need a game to relax or fall asleep to, that's one of the best.
@@Emily-ck9ji I love it so much!!
Yes Yes so amazing
8:18 That fish just bumped into the rock lol.
rays are beautiful but sometimes i cant help but giggle when i see them. they’re so silly looking, i adore them. i love that depending on the angle you either see a majestic being or a funny lookin guy. i love them, truly, i love them
Leo! Oh my goodness I was so excited to see this pop up in my notifications 🤩 there’s nothing quite like seeing the beauty of rays and skates swimming! Beautiful music choice as well ❤️
Thank you so much Shelby, I’m so glad you enjoyed!! Hope you’re doing really well, it’s been ages 💚
I went diving with manta rays in Hawaii. They're even more amazing and mesmerizing in person than in the video!
Yes they are
ocean animals are my favourite thing and bring me genuine joy, this is amazing, thank you so much
OMG YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING AN EPISODE ABOUT THE RAYS AND SKATE :D.
You have the most relaxing voice, pleasure to listen...
Thank you ☺️☺️
Batoids have some of the coolest dentition I've ever seen. Specialized durophagous conveyor belts of doom that crush any and all.
Perfectly rated ever growing channel
1,000,000 + subscribers inevitable 🤝
Aww cheers :)
manta ray is my favorite ray and it was awesome to see them included, as always top production and the footage used is in insanely good quality
and to top it all off with that soothing voice, easily my favorite YT channel, animal and nature for sure

Easily one of my favorite channels on CZcams. This channel has helped me get to sleep so many nights, like a little light reading. The sea is incredibly fascinating
Manta rays and chimaeras are my favorite in the whole world! 🥰
Honestly your Videos are as calming as listening to lofi and as informative as watching a full documentary. Much much love from germany. You provide free education for anyone who ccan watch Yt and you teach love for the nature. Thank you for that
Mesmerising - that was beautiful to see.
I like how u add the definition of the word on screen! Super helpful
Edit: 8:20 this man bumped into a rock
I think this might be the most relaxing and informative channel on CZcams
I'm so glad to see skates and rays get some love. They are so often overlooked.
spotted eagle rays have been my favorite animal for the past 5 or so years so this felt special, especially when that one was smooshing his face in the floor
Best voiceover style for this content hands down, great stuff!
Thanks so much Nick :)
Excellent! I love these videos. Keep up the great work.
Behold! The sea pancakes! 🥞
I can’t get over how rays and skates move around in the water, just flapping their little wings. It’s so adorable and they all look so goofy
This channel is woefully underrated
I wish my science teacher would do this for classes so much fun to watch these 😩
THESE MAJESTIC GLIDERS OF THE DEEP ARE FOR ME THE ABSOLUTE DEFINITION OF BEAUTY IN THE DEEP SEA
Thanks again for a great ocean video. Your relaxed style an soothing voice combined with important knowledge makes your channel a real pearl.
i’m very happy this channel’s getting a lot of attention, love the videos
a video of some of the most graceful creatures on the planet narrated by someone who's voice can only be described as a balm to the soul...
Watching this nearly canceled out the effect 2020-2021 had on my psyche.
thanks
Amazing as always!
This channel is a pure gold mine for everything I love about marine biology. They offer something I could never get from a documentary. It feels like I'm genuinely going on a journey with the amount of amazing footage and music.

Amazing timing on this video. I've been reading about rays and other cartilaginous fishes the past few days.
Just found this channel a few days ago. Great work, keep it going
Great video
Cheers :)
Leo, you have such a talent! You take subject matter that even some professionals render boring, and make us see it through your eyes! It's not just your soothing voice, it's the way you turn a phrase, and your superb script writing as well as your knowledge of the subject matter that all combine to make watching your videos such a pleasure! And I truly enjoyed this! I only wish I could give you more thumbs up!
I love the hog nosed rays and the devil rays. I always have. They are fascinating to me. But my true passion is the Manta Ray. So gracefull.
Contente de voir que tu t'intéresses à notre belle langue! ( Happy to see you getting an interest for our beautifull langage!) Love your videos, discovered this channel last week and almost seen everything!
Grabs my plush cownose ray) now is your time to shine, Karl! :D
Excellent channel. Well done.
Hello! I train in English listening with your channel. So it's sad subtitles disappeared. Anyway, thanks for the videos. Interesting, beautiful and with magic voice. (Sorry for my English).
Heya!! I’ve added subtitles just now for you - I had forgotten somehow, it wasn’t intentional 😉
I’m so glad my videos help you learn English. Enjoy the subtitles!!
I absolutely loved this video, I've never paid much attention to rays, but this video completely changed my mind, especially the acrobatic devil rays blew my mind...thank you so much for this video~ :)
That’s so lovely to hear! I’m really glad you enjoyed the video, rays are absolutely spectacular!! :)
Skates and rays are endlessly fascinating and relaxing ?!!
