Deep Sea Gigantism Explained
Vložit
- čas přidán 17. 07. 2024
- Deep Sea Gigantism (abyssal gigantism) is defined as the the tendency for deep-sea animals to grow to much larger sizes than their shallow water relatives.
Watch the newer version of this film: • Deep Sea Gigantism | W...
Biologists still aren’t certain why it is that some abyssal creatures grow to these immense sizes, for we have still only scratched the surface of discovery in the deep. But there are many theories, which may help to shed light on this mystery of the oceanic deep.
A brilliant example to show that deep sea fauna does indeed follow this rule, is the mollusk group, gastropods, which includes slugs and snails. In the deep, many species that are near symmetrical to shallower varieties, grow to be huge. The deep sea isopod belongs to a group that rarely grows larger than a few inches in the shadows, but down here they can grow to half a metre in length, and weigh approximately 1.7 kilograms. This variety, the giant isopod, is found in the deep, cold waters of the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Arctic Ocean.

It's so beautiful
I found a beached giant squid when I was a kid. Called a lifeguard over and he explained a bunch of stuff about it and called someone who he said could dissect it. I got to take pictures riding on it like a horse. Still one of my coolest childhood memories
I'm so surprised that 4 months after you made this comment, there's no replies. How old were you when you did that? Did you have any kind of meta-awareness, based on what the lifeguard told you, that you were touching something that gave you an experience totally unique from virtually every other human on the planet? That it's not unlikely that at that point in time, you may have been the only person on the planet who had ridden a giant squid, specifically, like a horse? Heck, you might still be.
What a weird badge of individuality to have in your catalog of experiences. Talk about rare Achievements/Trophies..."0.000000000000000000000001% of other players have earned this achievement." Commission me to draw a digital drawing of that moment and mint it as an NFT -- now THAT's uniqueness, and someone might want to buy such a unique experience for a pretty penny...(I'm not joking by the way, let's make this happen, I'll be fair in my pricing!)
YOOOOO I wish you could post the pic 😭😭😭😭
bro how tf do you not get scared of that shit as a kid? you had the nerve to ride it like a horse? do you just be like oh shit a giant squid its so cute i better ride it
@@RandomPerson-ui3xv I was really into wildlife as a kid, I fished with my dad a lot and watched tons of nature documentaries. So I was comfortable around dead sea life. It didn't even occur to me that it might be gross to sit on a dead giant squid.
Uhhhh squids bodies lie flat when out of water, so care to explain how this was possible? Did you mean to tell this story about an imaginary whale?
the deep sea used to scare my sister so much that she wouldn’t even swim in the ocean on grand theft auto
For good reason too. In story mode if you swim too far a shark will spawn and eat you out of nowhere

Well this is going viral! To all of you about to comment on the music volume, audio quality or narration issues in this video, please note this was the first ever video I made in my Deep-sea Wonders series! This was before I’d bought a mic, properly figured out my style or delved deeper into the topic, so know that I’m aware this video is far from perfect haha! My newer ones, in my opinion at least, are much better.
Good to know! Just normalizing the two audio channels in Audacity (or any other software) to different levels
would probably do the trick, but a good mic is a good investment in any case!
You might want to pin the comment again, bc I found this comment manually after you told me about it, but this does not show as pinned...
Probably a save button somewhere, happens to the best of us ^^
@Saruman Ork-Orphanage Cheers, that’s very useful!! Audio mixing is my weakness haha.
And thanks for the heads up about the pin. Seems it unpins itself when I edit the comment.
@@NaturalWorldFacts Oh right, good to know!
I'm not an expert myself, but essentially you should try setting the voice to -3dB and the music to -12dB/-18dB/-24dB of course you can coose any other nuber in between, but these are sort of the settings I'd typically go for.
Watch out for one thing though, Normalizing your track will raise the volume of an overall quiet track, but if it's very quiet to beginn with or if you happen to have some noise, it also enhances noise.
You can and probably should clean up the noise either way, especially on your own recordings. Denoising in Audacity works by selecting a quiet stretch of the recording, from which you get a pattern for the background noise, and then you select the whole recording and apply the denoising.
You'll see it's pretty good considering it's a free open source program. Audacity doesn't doo video though, keep that in mind.
Thanks a lot for your videos, love them
Didn't even notice!! 😊
"Giants will be the first to go." Kind of reminds me of when the meteor struck the earth causing the big dinosaurs to go extinct and only the smaller life forms survived. There is a hidden (rarely realized) evolutionary advantages of being smaller sometimes in a long enough time scale.
makes sense, smaller creatures reproduce at a much faster rate, so they are allowed to make more mutant iterations overall, and they under the constraint of natural selection in such extreme conditions. Natural selection keeps the better ones which continue the reproduction rate making them fitter at a faster rate. Its easier for a 150 pound an to get into peak physical shape than say a 600 man man given equal desire and motivation.
@@philipfry6428 More frequent mutation is not necessarily a good thing. Humanity has far surpassed evolution when it comes to tool making and they have one of the longest reproduction periods of the animal kingdom.
@@philipfry6428 The video you supposedly just watched literally says the prevailing theory on why deep sea gigantism occurs is because larger animals are more biologically efficient than smaller animals, which is pretty much the opposite of what you're saying. "Fittist" doesn't mean what you think it does. Animals in the wild aren't hitting the gym 5 days a week. Survival of the fittest is a misrepresentation of evolution anyway, but in this conext, "fittest" basically just means "best suited for survival for various reasons." It's not necessarily about who is the fastest or strongest, it's about the particular factors that may exist that give an organism the best chance for survival. These factors can be anything, such as a chameleon's ability to change the color of it's skin or a termite's ability to digest a food source that few other animals possess.
Also, bacteria are extremely small and reproduce at incredible rates, but would you argue bacteria are the planet's "best" animals?
@@realwiggles if you're speaking literally then yes, bacteria are the superior life form. Maybe using big words and being condescending doesn't make you as smart as you think it does hm ?
It that were true, we wouldn't exist because Bacteria would be more optimal than evolving to the point where we are.

"Are you sure about that?"
It’s so counter intuitive. I would have thought that larger animals required more fuel to keep them going… not the opposite. But then look at the Hummingbird. They’re tiny, but are absolutely voracious for an animal of their size. Pound for pound they’re one of the largest consumers on the planet, energy wise.
Exactly!! It’s a very strange but very important phenomenon
@@NaturalWorldFacts one of those things that makes sense but still seems strange
@@mirkofloris9979 it's like you were ignoring the part where these creatures shallow counterparts are significantly smaller.
So the colossal squid is actually the rule.
@@mirkofloris9979 but I never said there are giant monsters down there. I said you weren't paying attention on account of the fact that you said the rule was false. You still haven't paid attention actually.
The rule says that larger creatures are more efficient in sustaining themselves as their mass to food consumption ratios are higher.
That's why I mentioned that the creatures down there are larger than their shallow counterparts. Because that was the point. The point was that bigger was better for many creatures. Not that some reached colossal sizes. Just that they were bigger.
It's because they spend too much energy flapping those wings.

Love the videos on the deep sea!! Such great video material and I find the narration very easy to follow! Very clear with good timing and somehow calming as well.

The deep ocean is the most fascinating ecosystem in the world to me. The mystery of the Giant Squids for one is a particularly elusive one, a real life kraken lurking in the depths and because of the dark we just can’t find enough of them to even build a clear image of what the largest among them really look like. A titan like that completely evading our gaze and the the tiny fraction of animals that ever get fossilized make me wonder what huge beasts once existed that we will never know about.
Or still exist. It's literally what causes my anxiety when swimming in areas where I can't see the bottom. Lol

Wow. I love this channel. Thank you for the research you put into this.
4:22 can we take a moment to appreciate this shot
When you think about it, a lot of the benefits of being larger in the deep sea overlap. A lower metabolism often means a longer lifespan, which means more chances to reproduce, and also reduces the need for the species to encounter a mate so regularly. Aside from conserving energy, a large size also suits to suits to help them ignore smaller predators, and allows them to store more food as they travel throughout the depths. Something to note: many smaller deep sea creatures have stretchy stomachs, but you don't see that in the larger animals. Deep sea animals play the long game, it would seem.
tl;dr living that far down in the ocean is the epitome of the "Objective: Survive" meme, and being big helps with that.

Cause I can reason away this is a video game when I’m seeing it, but the terror of anticipation kills me everytime, and it legit immobilizes me while playing.

The biggest effect on climate change is the Sun, not humankind. The Earth and Sun combined, have many cycles between them of different lengths of time, and all effect life on Earth, for good or bad. 6,000 yrs ago, the Sahara desert was grassland, in another 8,000 yrs, that grass land will be back, as the Sun is part way through a particular 14,000 yr cycle that has affected rainfall in that longitude of the planet.

In college I wanted be either a marine biologist or a doctor. Currently in medical school now, but your videos are making me question everything. Well done, keep it up! 🧡
Hell yeah, keep it up
i want to be a marine biologist too, but life isn't seem so positive on that. Pls be a marine biologist to continue my dream.
It was in my CZcams recommendation, I'm glad I watched it, its so informative and interesting at the same time
I keep seeing comments being all scientific and stuff, and here I am like, "That's a big fish."
that island rule explains australia as a whole.
Exactly!
How ? Australia's giants have all been killed off I doubt anyone would classify Australia as an island. It is not a hard and fast rule, many species actually become smaller in isolation. Giantism is more to do with predators rather than the isolation.
We don’t really have anything that big, most of our species are small but deadly hahaha
@@Meggyx yeh , like salties.
@@jollyroger7624 aside from crocs hahaha
Great work,nice stuff!!
Incredible learning experience. Thanks for your good work and dedication to your craft.
This was both beautiful, terrifying, with a bit of sadness at the end when you mentioned the giants will be the first ones to go. What a ride
There's definitely some type of horror creature down there we haven't seen yet
glad we send robots and not subs down there
Yeah it's watching and waiting
Every time they say the blue whale is the largest animal of all time, I just think to myself "that we know of".
@@apocalypse2819 exactly! Back in ancient times there were much much larger creatures down in the water
@@apocalypse2819 it's not subnautica where the "dead zone" contains microorganisms and leviathan class lifeforms... Unless these leviathans eat planktons, like whales do, they wouldn't survive in a place without constant food. It's not like there can be a huge megalodon waiting for humans to have dinner on
High quality content! Greetings from Brazil! Subscribed!
This is really well done and well put where even the simplest person should be able to under stand it.
Why doesn’t quality correlate more with views on this platform. So strange
Because I’m not a fortnite streamer or a reaction channel :/
Because 90% of the people going to youtube are casuals and only interested in bouncing ass short vids and youtube actually supports them thru monetization while informative vids like these tend to get demonitize i forgot what channel is it but its sad he had to stop creating content bec youtube stunted his growth.
When has quality ever correlated with popularity?
@@NaturalWorldFacts So true! 😂
Your channel is great by the way.
@@Pikkabuu literally forever until recently.
Man, imagine how many of those prehistoric creatures that may well be still lurking in the deep. something like 80% of the deep sea is still not mapped or researched.
I think we’ve only discovered 6-7% of the worlds oceans 😳
@@canadasown02 But from what little we know, most of the life down there is small. Outside of squids and 6 gill sharks what else is really big down there?
@@zenzen8210 Huh? Didn't this video literally just explain why creatures in the deep sea are larger?
@@capturedflame Technically, since when you compare them to the typical crab they're ginormous.
the ocean is terryfying
Very cool Video! Thanks for this!
I couldn't be happier to have found this channel. The relaxing voice, smooth narration and interesting educational material make for an excellent ambiance while I work. ♡
So it doesn’t have anything to do with the pressure condensing the oxygen levels they would breathe? I know prehistoric insects were larger due to the oxygen levels, i just figured the deeper you go the more oxygen a deep sea animal would take in and you’d see the same kind of thing. Interesting video.
You’re definitely onto something, I reckon that must be a factor in explaining gigantism!
The oxygen levels are actually lower than at the surface. Organisms simply adapted to the lower levels. There are graphs online that show the oxygen levels for each "section" of the ocean as you get deeper. The patterns are really interesting; the lowest oxygen levels are actually in the middle region, followed by the deepest region.
@@TennyConductor Yes, it's believed that that is the reason everything down there moves so slowly. To conserve oxygen as it's more scarce
@@thatyellowfellow Also they're big dumb.
After a threshold, the bigger you get, the bigger your dumbness.
Hence, turbo dumb.
@@piterpraker3399 Aren't giant squids extremely intelligent?
"Down here, bigger is better" *cue obligatory that's what she said joke*
In the end bigger is always better
no time 😠
but she did😌
no time!!!😡
@@speedytrash9005 ayyy office reference
this is a visual masterpiece I just- not to forget the perfectly sync music and voice as well as the highly educational content.
Great video, amazing choice in music.
The tone of this voice over would be at home in Dark Souls…
❤️
I was gonna say that he sounds exactly like VaatiVidya
Yees, indeed.
@@Badgabr1 not at all really lol.
He does sound kind of like Hawkshaw though
@Matt F nah use gaping dragon instead. Ds3 lore is cringe and Aldrich specifically is a huge retcon to lore
This was fantastic to watch as someone who has always loved the deep sea. Well narrated, great footage, and a perfect musical accompaniment. Beautiful and fascinating. Hopefully we can save some of these amazing animals from the damage we have done as humans. Thank you for creating this.
Thank you for the lovely feedback!
@@NaturalWorldFacts what was the song during the island rule section?
How could you help them, if they are almost has no contact with us in daily life, not even found yet or don't even know if they are exist or not?
@@KhoiruunisaRF By cleaning up pollution and preventing changes to the climate that will kill them. Did you think 'save the planet' meant 'collect for charity'?
Great channel!
Great video!
Honestly the ending made me really sad. As terrified as the big ocean creatures might be to us, they benefit their deep down ecosystem as much as they get 'benefit' from it. The fact global warming will cause the death of these giants is very sad (as it for all creatures suffering at our expense...)
Everything eventually comes to an End
humans are creatures too you dumb alien
@@anarchyseeds4406 i never said we weren't????? That was not the point of the comment
Sadly iirc we are the next massive extinction, the rate of which the species are disappearing is really high and getting higher, let’s see in what ways this comes to bite us in the ass 😩
bruh its really not you are aware that everything dies yes?
Tldr; everybody at the bottom of the ocean just vibes
They just chillin
Why do people say “vibe.” What does vibe or vibing mean?
@@youmenow7942 good feelings
Yeah, humans can't kill them there
@@youmenow7942 Vibe means vibration. So as a noun something or someones vibration means their emotional atmosphere. The feelings they project subconsciously. But used as a verb, it means to be in harmony with oneself. Existing effortlessly.
Your voice combined with the music makes me feel like a deep sea post graduate student who is listening to the prerecorded lessions of life, present at the depth in visiting
you produce such quality content
Why?- is ultimately the most fascinating questions that most evolutionary theorists seem to ignore. This was extremely interesting, thank you. Contributing for the algorithm.
Thank you so much! The ‘why’ is my favourite part
That was my first question. Why are deep sea animals so strange/weird?
@@anna.318 because its an extremely high pressure environment, and also not much food
