On The Trail: Devils Hole

- Devils Hole sounds like a scary place, but it's really a sanctuary. Conor Knighton take us to this tranquil place near Death Valley National Park, a refuge for one of the rarest fish in the world.
Really appreciate the efforts by people to preserve this
My thoughts exactly. At first, I was wondering why they don't just have a captive breeding program to save those fish from extinction. But then I saw the section of the video that shows that they do,in fact,have such a program.
Trump supporters would disapprove and disrespect nature at all cost
Apparently, Devils Hole is also important because it can detect earthquakes from as far away as Japan, way before any tsunami or quakes reaches American shores. Whenever there's an earthquake, the water rapidly rises and falls (Probably deals with plate tectonics).
there's a video of that happening, it's amazing
Got link?

Ur smart!
awesome 😶 👍
The fish are absolutely a cover for what's really going on down there.
One should never trust the f**king fish. They are suspect,
I think that if people were to explore it, there would be some strange discoveries.
there were 2 divers whose bodies were never recovered.
yes maybe we can give the fish cam,era
They should send a few thousand meters of camera line down through there and see what they see upon pulling it back in. Id imagine it’d be quiet interesting to see what’s beyond that point!!
Whose hear after Mr. Ballen
Me....I want to know about the underground ocean!
Me
🙋♀️
I was here 3 years ago. Who is Mr. Ballen?
Me me me
2 divers died in there and their body never recover? wtf...
Go on Mr ballens channel and watch the second story on the newest video (11/12/2020) and you'll understand why
@@joooonaaaas234 you came here to look around after watching his video, ye? same
Giant octopus.
Yea it’s unknown depth, could be miles. They would need a deep ocean submersible that’s used to explore wrecks.
They wound up in Scotland at Loch Ness, lol.
Super cool.
Can you do a video opening it?
@@salor99999only if 😭😂
Indeed.
Many props to the folks who preserve the species!
I’m really happy to see all the effort to keep them alive and florishing.
This is so interesting to me and it plays into my small fish in small desert body of water habitat fantasy
There is an ocean underground that connects other parts of the world that’s really the thing about it
Kevin Wilson lives for the day he hears the words "Is anyone here an aquatic ecologist!?"
Such a cool fish, and the people who fight to conserve the fish are just as cool.
Stfu
Agreed
Wow what a beautiful documentary, I didn’t not now about this native blue fish, thanks
In my state of new mexico by the valley of fire volcanic field, in a deep natural spring ponds , there are fishes that only live in those ponds and they are close relatives to the pup fish. They look very similar as well.
Daaaang I'm here too. Never visited the valley but want to go. I wouldn't doubt carlsbad and the blue hole as well as what you're talking about are all connected with this cave in the video
@@alfonsogiampollo5153 ya I wouldn't doubt it. These fish look like tropical fish.
SAVE THOSE BEAUTIFUL CREATURES.
ITS JUST A FISH. WHO TF CARES
@@henryettoit897and the bald eagle is just a bird. And everyone seems to care at it
interesting
indeeeed
Makes you wonder if we humans are just like the Devils Hole pupfish? Trapped for thousands of years inside a tiny hole in a much larger universe.
Damn
Do you think there’s something smaller than the pupfish in the same situation?
This is a pre historic fish. Really amazing
Nice
You know what, this is what makes America great. That Americans (most Americans, nevertheless) care for this tiny fish and its habitat. In any other country they'd have become extinct long back.
Probably not
They'd be on the menu in chyna for sure. They don't give a damn about anything.
It's the panda bear of fish. Seemingly created to go extinct and only through intervention kept alive. They haven't even been able to discover how to keep it alive in captivity. Though they did find out when it was moved to a similar habitat that instead of breeding with others like itself, it bred with a different species of pupfish, creating a hybrid that was successful in its new home. Of course, making a hybrid was not exactly ideal since saving the pure species is the whole idea. It is a damn cute stubby little guy, and its electric deep blue color is gorgeous. I'd love to keep a tank full of them. Heck, I'd give them a 2000 gallon tank at 93 degrees regardless of expense, but thats highly unlikely to ever happen because it's so darn touchy. Then there is the mystery of its only home in Death Valley, the Devils Hole. A location which scientists now think may be connected to an underground ocean/cavern system stretching from South America all the way underground to the midwest of the USA. With depths exceeding 1000 feet, I can't imagine a more mysterious and frightening place. This might be the location where real-life mythological sea monsters dwell. There be monsters here. Supposedly at the bottom of the hole there is a small opening that at times becomes an underwater whirl pool with unreal suction ready to vaccum the unlucky that venture to close to the hole into an ocean no one has yet explored. Makes my heart beat hard just thinking about it. A real-life underground OCEAN... IMAGINE!
So all this time and no one has sent a camera down there? Like an underwater drone?
Nah if theres no money involved like funding and stuff there would be no exploration
@@AdrianDucao you’d think divers would start a crowd fund you know? So they could see what’s down there and put all the questions to rest.
@@thegoat9237 It's just about impossible. The current strength, pressure, and temperature would destroy anything a civilian could create or purchase. And if the government does or has done it (maybe impossible even for them), the mission and results/mappings would be 100% confidential.
@@mystic95 hm I was thinking that the pressure couldn’t be more than a drone or anything could handle due to the fact that divers have been able to get down there.
@@thegoat9237 Almost all of them have a tether and go ~200m max. The hole is ~130m down and then could go possibly thousands of meters down. You'd need a very expensive black market/military grade one, and it still likely wouldn't do to job. I heard a diver let a weighted string down and it went over 900m/its max and didn't hit a bottom.
I wouldn’t dive in there. Too claustrophobic. But so amazing how much water is in there! You’d never think in such a place. Who discovered this place??
This is a little late but past 457ft, there is another hole the size of a bicycle wheel that leads to and underground ocean estimates to be over 2000miles long. In 2013 an earthquake in Mexico caused the water from far below the spring system to shoot out of the entrance to devils hole leading scientist to believe that the underground ocean may be continental in size.
@@yourgrandmasalzheimerpills1143 😳😳😳
@@yourgrandmasalzheimerpills1143 what about this recent earthquake?
@@yourgrandmasalzheimerpills1143 no scientist think continental in size
I saw these fish at Ash Meadows. They are so beautiful and amazing!
Very nice amazing
Im amazed by how many people want the fish to go extinct. The people who want pupfish to die should be put on an island and be isolated for the next 5 - 10,000 years, just like the fish.
Scrotie McBoogerballs exactly, and they fact they already spent 4 f-ing million dollars to build a few fish an entirely separate habitat that they can thrive in must just irk the surrounding population even more.
@I'm a full-on the rapist. the whole state is on a drought and the colorado river is running low. California farmers and cattle ranchers are one of the most wasteful farmers in the world. They don't even contribute to half of the gdp. Fun fact: californian famers were the first welfare millionaires. It's not sustainable to farm in the middle of a desert unless you have a desaline system.
who cares about some lousy fish???????????????????
Ops,...I commented too soon. It turns out that they do have a captive breeding program for those fish. I commented before that section of the video "came up".Well,...I'm glad they have that program to save that Species of fish from extinction.
Why has no one sent a drone down there yet?
Current, pressure, and temperature. You'd need something really fancy/expensive to maintain control and functionality at such a depth. Unsure if there even is anything small enough to fit that would survive.
laws preventing it because of the fish
a drone might contaminate the water killing the fish
@@mystic95bruv we havent even reach the pressure for it to mess with it
This is where Charles Manson thought he found the opening to the bottomless pit where he thought to be his family’s hideout for the race war he called Helter Skelter.
Who's old enough to remember
Charles Kurault ?
Not me recognising Conor’s voice from Mass Effect Andromeda love that range of work
Flooded caves are quite something else, even when there are other beings that have already lived or been there before.
probably make an artificial camera equipped fish just as small and put it in the hole and get to know the devil's hole and whether it is actually a connection to the underwaters........
Pretty darn cool this thing went off last week during the Mexico EQ
Thera is an ocean underground that’s connects other parts of the world
so the hole has a fish that only lives there an they have never been to the bottom an 2 kids died an were never found but there gear was found. they could have been eaten by something that doesn't live any where else
So you think something ate the kids and is able to survive in there eating sporadically just once every, oh 60 years or so?? It would have to be big and would require a massive amount of calories daily to sustain its mass. There simply is not the ecosystem in there to have such an apex predator. Those pupfish are on their own and have just enough food (the algae on their small rock shelf in the sunlight) to sustain their small population. It's a microsystem in balance. Go checkout Ash Meadows just down the road. There you will find a few dozen other endemic plant and animal species found nowhere else on earth. The great inland sea that once was dried up (Salt Lake is all that's left) and species became trapped in little pockets all over the desert where they evolved to survive their unique environment.
Why don't they just have a captive breeding program for these fish?
Did you watch the whole video? 'Zactly what they have.
Market those fish and it will no longer be on extinction list.
Why don't we have GoPro dive footage? They should send a submersible camera down there to chart the whole thing!
There are things down there that they may be hiding.
Inner Earth theory plays right into this
@@sebworth there is 33 ft of water above your head just in the atmosphere there are 23 million cubic km of water trapped in the earth that enough to cover the earth in a 180 ft layer of water there is 321,003,271 cubic miles of ocean on average 12,000 ft covering 70% of the planet surface there is 30 million km³ 70ft of water in ice caps on earth in 2014 there was a reservoir of water discovered three times the volume of all the earths oceans beneath the earth's surface,the biblical foods the waters above and the waters below and world of water in locked between states even we humans are born in mothers waters ,life is contain 1% of all water we find it everywhere in everything that is the real goldmine the blue fish is a ancient symbolic sign the gave they place a name of the devil to connotative it with something bad when its the source of life really a blessing
The equipment would have to be disinfected and checked to make sure it doesn’t disturb the habitat of the fish
imagine what the prize of that fish would be in the aquarium business
the price of a fish depends on a lot of factors and do to the life cycle if it it probably would not be that expensive because they are small and have a short lifespan in the hobby they would probably be about $5 each
$52,000. Well at least that’s the fine for illegally possessing one
How did those divers stay floating with their massive balls
Lol
DIVE TALK and MR B Allen ch brought me here.
Underground oceans are cool
They should be bred and sold to the public. Put them in lakes and stuff. You don't want them to go extinct? Neither do I so create incentive to keep them alive.
My buddy snuck in and grabbed a pup fish we’ll see if he can keep it alive that’d be pretty cool
Some one said Drought ?
I hope those idiots got federal charges for trespassing and vomiting on those poor fishes.
Vomit = food
Pretty wholesome
Crazy how those 2 bodies of the young men are still there somewhere! Well skeletons
Everyone knows devil's hole is in Niagara Falls Canada and USA. A heck of a fishing and sitting spot on the lower rapids by the whirlpool.
Watch the Dive Talk episode about this place. Some good information.
No one has ever sent a ROV down there to check how far it goes down?
Yes the facts that there is no life but a small fish it's worth it
POV: You’re here after Ask A Mortician.
Lucky fish
The amount of effort humans go to preserving animals that go extinct is bewildering as they routinely abort children en mase.
how could you live with having the title "anti-pupfish" ??
And be okay with the extinction of an ENTIRE species
Because I have to grow water-intensive crops in one of the hottest places on Earth because of the “economy”
Hate to be that guy that released a small mouth bass into that whole Lol bye bye pup fish
There is also a Charles Manson connection to Devil's Hole.
Fish are treated better than us! But it's a natural area that needs protecting! Like all of earth 🌎
Ridiculous. An underground ocean and they are worried about 1 fish
Looks pretty scary!
This journalist and James Corbett have a similar narration style. Their voices are sound very similar as well.
To save one tiny fish, FROM GOING EXTINCT. Poor little babies.
❤️
And this is why we’re 35 trillion in debt. Food is worth less than some fish at the top of a remote pool.
Neat!
dislike cause CBS. content is kinda cool
2:23 ah.......why is there a dog head in the hole ? LOOKING AT THE CAMERA . Freeze it here and look . A black dog head is look king at you
Anyone else here after watching Mr Ballens video on the 2 divers that was never found ?
Yup. Wasn't one of them going through a divorce, and the other had embezzlement charges? Just sayin'.
they could have luscious green acres but we could lose the pup fish
Um... Devils Hole may be an entrance to Inner Earth..maybe that's the paradise Charles Manson was convinced of that lay "below the water". And to have water deep enough that divers have gone and bodies never returned is a sign to send underwater drones and cameras down to explore though, isn't it? We finally have the technology.
For Kevin Wilson the pupfush give him a job of course it important to him lol
Would they go to this much trouble to save a human?
4.5 million. 4.5 million. What is that in 2023 dollars?
I thought you might
love all animals but this times a thousand I can see why California or any states are broke
They hiding something about these fish it’s deeper than this
No amount of money is too much to saved an endangered species. Provided its the taxpayers paying it and not the "environmentalists" money.
mukhang Tilapia
So nobody knows how deep the hole goes....they have a backup reserve fish farm. Why not turn death valley into farmland or something useful to humans while we are here?
Some industrial grave pumps and a very large well or just pipes into the hole (take remaining fish out an add to the farm) and see if the land can be restored? Also probably find 2 bodies eventually an bring them home? It could lead to an underground lake that rain will naturally help keep filled? I'm not a farmer but I dont see why if they already made a fish farm...they couldnt transfer the fish from the real hole,to the farm an start pumping an see how much water is really down there. Could produce many jobs. Who knows what other discoveries are down there too.
Well you see, here’s the thing about efforts to protect one single species. It’s never just about that one species. Let’s look at monarch butterflies. Conservation efforts for monarchs don’t just help monarchs. The milkweed planted, the areas protected, it helps a wide variety of insects and small animals. The pupfish is important because as barren as it seems, Death Valley is an ecosystem with over 400 species of animal and 1,000 species of plant, and having a charismatic animal like the pupfish there to remind people of that helps keep them from paving over all of that.
When they where searching for the 2 bodies they went to the bottom and found a hole so the one guy don’t know his history
Isn't CBS supposed to be professional journalism? Nevada is pronounced, "ad" in the middle, NOT "odd" in the middle.
damn good place for a secret underground lab of some sort ... for someones to do somethingzzz 🤔 1976 or mountain biking or hiking ( foot traffic only) 😐
I think that's where Charles Mansion and his family used to hang out.
About a tiny fish. I don’t believe it.
I read a study that said they were able to recreate the mutations in other pupfish that the devil's hole pupfish have by increasing the temperature and giving it a couple generations. If that's true then there wouldn't be any good reason to have those fences around that hole and more people could explore those caves and see how massive they truly are. Now THAT would be awesome!
People would die. Cave diving is dangerous.
@@derekschinke2512 Well that is the end goal of any conservationist to eradicate any if not all invasive species. So they spend millions of taxpayers money to recreate a habitat. Oh, they did not tell you about the lake right next to Devils Hole? Why not? They have expanded the pup fish’s habitat into the lake as well. So what is their real agenda? Their agenda is to control people through the endangered species act.
They are hiding the truth and using pupfish as the cover
@@SkarKingg it's the only thing that makes sense to me.
Recreatingna devils hole puofish genome wouldn't be easy. If you know how genetics work, they would never become 100% devils hole pupfish
Whatever happened to survival of the fittest?!
Mark Volker .....Democrats
They are surviving. They use the fish to control people via false information. Control the water; control the people. They conservationists have an agenda: Communism through projecting false claims about plants, fish and other endangered/threatened species. Just ask Harry Reid how he got all his millions! He put thousands of people out of work; then stole their land from them. Does Nature Conservancy ring a bell? It is pure genius to use plants, insects and any other endangered species to steal peoples land and livelihoods. Then turn around and profit from it.
That no longer applies if you remove the animal's habitat or would you feel good without air?
why are conservatives so mad about a fish
Hey, let's save this cute fishy fish. Which is a great idea. But, maybe they didn't need saving but just left alone?
Put on all this rubber & plastic garb, go down with huge spotlights, flail around the fish's habitat, maybe stab some crap with these long poles, put some plastic tags all over everything... That should do it. Look we saved the, whoops. Sorry they're all dead. You bad people that aren't environmentalists, "like we are", killed these poor fish. Dang you!
Poor fish from fish heaven... "We never saw that one coming"
And there's people in American cities that claim America has never been great, I think it's awesome.
It's true
Random, but okay 👍
interesting. The more you know.
I wonder what species these fish were before becoming trapped in that hole ...
Would you really believe that they throw millions of dollars for a small fish?! I think it got to be something else more fishy in there..
Yes $4 million is nothing lmao
That security guard with the high pitched voice is kinda creepy. Lol
This whole thing is insane and a waste of money
These fish will die because of man trying to save them.
Beer and vomit lmao I remember when that happened
Do you people feel something is off? Ok these fish are great! But why the millions to preserve these fish? We Flippin over harvest our oceans. Species go extinct every day. Yet we dump millions to preserve these fish? Yet we give squat to help people, who are suffering also. Would these fish be as concerned with our demise? Or would they just acquiesce to life without thought? Something isn't right about this whole deal. What would happen if the fish went extinct? Ever ask that question? Do they serve some ecological balance which threatens our existence? Or would maybe investing in our youth. Who might produce a noble prize winning scientist. Which would invent a concept that would save all life in danger of extinction. That guy who just loves those fishies is a bit too involved? No kids? No wife? If yes? Hmmm, how happy is that union? Since fish are reason he gets up in the morning. Good God we've devalued our humanity. We only have ourselves to blame. If something was to threaten humanity, how important are those fish? They wouldn't even know their own extinction. We would! Yet Do nothing! We have a very warped view of the universe, and our place in it.
It’s not just about the fish is the thing. Death Valley has over 400 species of animal. By declaring one off limits, you make it easier to protect the rest of them too. That’s how a lot of conservation works, actually.
Why waste money on those fish, it could be used so much better
When a fish is more important than a person we are either doing something in secret at devils hole and thats an excuse or people have no heart or common sense.
Wdym person
all that money just for a fish... ok..
I WANT SOME OF THOSE PUFF FISH!!!! 😋
its not a puff fish its a pupfish LOL
