During the 2014, ECOGIG expedition, this beautiful colonial organism drifted past Hercules' cameras, and we followed it for as long as we could keep track. They are made up of many smaller animals called zooids, and can be found floating around the pelagic zone in ocean basins around the world. One famous siphonophore species is the deadly Portugese Man O' War.
This expedition was part of a larger research program focused on examining the ecosystem-level response to oil and gas in the Gulf of Mexico. The research group leading the cruise was called the Ecosystem Impacts of Oil and Gas Inputs into the Gulf of Mexico (ECOGIG) Consortium, which is made up of scientists from a wide variety of disciplines studying current flow, ocean chemistry, microbial activity, deep-sea coral communities, and everything in between.
E/V Nautilus, the ship of exploration of Titanic discoverer Dr. Robert Ballard, is exploring the ocean studying biology, geology, archeology, and more. Watch www.nautilusliv... for LIVE video from the ocean floor. For dive updates follow along on social media at / nautiluslive and / evnautilus on Twitter.
About Us:
The Ocean Exploration Trust was founded in 2007 by Titanic discoverer Dr. Robert Ballard to engage in pure ocean exploration. Our international programs center on scientific exploration of the seafloor and many of our expeditions are launched from aboard Exploration Vessel (E/V) Nautilus, a 64-meter research vessel operated by the Ocean Exploration Trust. In addition to conducting scientific research, we offer our expeditions to explorers on shore via live video, audio, and data feeds from the field. We also bring educators and students of all ages aboard during E/V Nautilus expeditions, offering them hands-on experience in ocean exploration, research, and communications.

Scientist:"is that garbage"
Siphonophore: :(
*Depressed siphonophore noises *
So uneducated sounding..I thought the same.
@@hellosweetheart3350 well you don't see em every day even as a scientist
I would hardly call them scientists; they sound more like uninspired students.
@@atlasfeynman1039 nautiluslive.org/cruise/NA050 make your own scientific research
Man creatures in the very deep ocean just don't give a damn about how they look.
The feelong that i want to achieve
This made me laugh so doggone hard- in the middle of the night! 🤣
@Sir Tristan But I don't live in the deep ocean.
Totally agree.. they really should tidy themselfes up when people come round, esp when we're taking pics of them. This one needs to clean up a bit, probably had a heavy night or something. Not impressed.. :)
That was fashion down there
"Anyone have an estimation of its length?"
My guy - "About 20 whiffleballs"
That's my best friend lol. He talks like that all the time.
New scientific standard, whiffleballs
Loool, I think he just said that because there was a yellow wiffleball float in front of the camera.
You laugh but that's about 1 meter (3.3ft) right there
@@cervixcrusader85 also perhaps he wanted to avoid american metrics for rest of crew/viewers.
Siphonophore looking at human: "I can't believe that's a living thing".
It's a colony so it's more like an entire city being in disbelief that Giants exist in a different region of existence called "dry land".
@deltoid77-nick you could argue that a human is also a colony of different organs, the whole colony/organism thing is more of a spectrum, and siphonophores are on the boundary
"The Siphonophorae or Siphonophora, the siphonophores, are an order of the Hydrozoa, a class of marine animals belonging to the phylum Cnidaria. Although a siphonophore appears to be a single organism, each specimen is actually a colony composed of many individual animals. Most colonies are long, thin, transparent pelagic floaters. Some siphonophores superficially resemble jellyfish." - Wikipedia
Well I understood the bit about " floaters " I prescribe to flush twice😬
@@grossleg123 ha ha nice
this is big brain time
More like a swimming city with lot of city with a lot of people..
@@shamsm9086 ..............
please dont throw your old used swiffer in the ocean.
Swiffonophores
LOL
Omg I screamed xD
Lol!
ROFL! 🤣 😂 😅
The totally universal scientific measurement wiffle ball.
by length or width?
Found the imigurians.
EpicZantetsuken troll status ?
@EpicZantetsuken at this point I use the imperial system just to annoy others from different counties. :)
@@vodnikdubs1724 Yes
*Interesting Siphonophore Info:* Siphonophores are comprised of many different animals (zooids) which all function as 1 organism. All the zooids in a given siphonophore colony are descended from a single fertilized egg! The egg develops into the protozooid, a polyp that gives rise through budding to all the other zooids of the colony!
Amazing creatures creature
Nice googling
They almost blur the line of being one organism and a colony. They're basically cells
@@Newt2799 This is how we make a new universe my friend, entirely out of wiffleballs
Can we call this "sea mop"?
SEPHi27 or a sea-swiffer.
😹😹😹
More like a Dook Noodle
Majestic sea mop
it looks like tattered clothes that have ripped until it looks long and attached to a long stick
I fricking love siphonophores, definitely my favorite sea creature by far. This doesn't even cover how insanely huge the colonies can get and how outrageous a form they can build when they make some good 3D shapes and have some of their members entirely specialized for one task.
"That bitch just call me garbage? What a frickin day!"
Mind blown. I can't get enough deep sea exploration.
Can I interest you in a set of cement boots then?
whynottalklikeapirat You must be fun at parties
@@slinkerdeer A man can make a girl laugh, sure =.O Can I interest YOU in a set of cement boots? - Guaranteed to break the ice at parties. If it's winter and the pool is frozen.
The more I get the less I want it
Frankly, deep sea exploration gets no love. You know what superpower I’d like? Aquaman’s. I wanna go down deep and find a cave by a vent to hang out in. I want to keep a pet mola mola. I want to go make fun of the crabs
Amazing animal. I also found it hilarious that as I was reading the Wikipedia article on Siphonophores, the guy started reading it aloud almost simultaneously. Brilliant!
interesting so if its made up of a bunch of individual organisms can they move among the creature or fixed to one place? these creatures fascinate me
+Niamh Baszyl they can swim
The creatures that make up the Siphonophorae are fixed in place in its body structure.
What if you try too hit it would if break apart like a bunch of nanobots and re form
@@whydoesyoutubehaveahandlenow No, the reproductive organisms will start to produce all the types of cells and form new colonies. Essentially, cutting it into pieces would give rise to many more creatures.
Niamh Baszyl I’m pretty sure the best analogy is if you imagine that all of our organs were separate creatures on their own, like cells, that decided to work together to create a bigger creature. Like how our cells create us, but going another step further. They all have specific roles, some can move some can’t. I think.
Oh yeah, that's what I thought when I first seen it, a siphonophore.
Yeah....
You mean when you first saw it. Seen is past perfect tense.
Slappy you missed the joke don’t get technical
@@rb6troling729 You like jokes? Well, I've got a joke for you.
Your existence.
@@slappy8941 lol butthurt
Like anyone could think it was anything else. Obvious!
"Wiffle balls" is the most accurate of scientific measurments
pinkylover75 we need to start a go fund me to purchase wiffle balls to be sent to the office, just in case they come across a creature that needs to be measured
“A piece of garbage old tire plastic bag about 20 wiffleballs in length”
Somebody better update the Wikipedia page.
Hughes Enterprises i know seriously i was looking at the first animated Frankenstein swifter mop....
That was amazing to see. It looks like two separate entities that are attached. Love watching these videos and seeing all the creatures they run across.
camera quality and the awesome commentary make this video wonderful. More stuff like this is needed
“Is that garbage?”
“I thought it was an old tire.”
“Yeah I thought it was a busted tire or something.”
Wow you guys are getting better with the roasting stuff.
Look at the way it moves. COOL
Looks like it came straight out of the Cambrian Explosion
Dang! Learned a new word.
Do you think some sea creatures will evolve to look like discarded milk jugs and condom wrappers because the other fish know they arnt edible?
no, the timeframe involved hasn't been long enough by tens of thousands of years.
Evolved or created ???
It's possible, if we continue using those things for a few hundred more years. Evolution can work surprisingly quickly when the pressure's on, but I'd say at the minute the selective pressure would be to adapt to rising ocean temperature and acidity, not evade predators.
No. DNA doesn't make new DNA for new functions.
Works for ME, lol‼️👹👍🏾
This is absolutely amazing! The quality of this video is stunning!
Omg!! this makes me really feel how blessed I am to live in this planet..seeing new things that really amazes me..and imagining of the unknown..I just can't imagine what else live down there
It's amazing what you see scuba diving, even if you're only 10-15 metres under.
Absolutely stunning!! I knew about the Portuguese Man O' War, but didn't realize it was part of a specific group of creatures. And, to be honest, this one is just as spectacular in it's own way.
World : I shall make a siphonohore that shall be in the deep sea.
Nautilus crew : is that a plastic bag, thought it was a(n) old tire.
Siphonohore : 😭
Sexywrm ps- its not a siphono -“hore “lol .. just saying lol
Also called Blue bottles. Each group of colonies have specifics jobs, one colony catches the food with the use of stings. The others then process the food and another distributes it. Another also propels or drive the entire structure.
Recently got stung on my lips and wrapped around my neck whilst snorkeling off Southern Mozambique. Not fun, especially when one has a wee on board.
D G no one has a wee on board ? What are you talking about ?
No one calls it blue bottles
@@jonn40853 right except for the 50 million people in my country who do. What's it like being ignorant?
@@breAnnasmama obviously a typo Karen.
Looks like those low quality pokemon they added in recent iterations of the game when they run out of original ideas.
disklosr like the pile of sludge, the magnets+metal ball and upside down pokeball with a face on it?
Ola Sarcasm you forgot the most creative one: the pile of garbage (aka Trubbish)
disklosr my point is that EVERY generation has shit designs in it, but 1st gen is more accepted because of nostalgia, which it shouldn't be. shit is still shit :p
although 4th and 5th gen was weak, 6th gen made it all better, especially competitively.
Ola Sarcasm tbh i don't mind to have few crappy pokes because we have hundreds of well designed ones.
+Ola Sarcasm 4th gen was best gen you meta peasant.
*love* how RUclips became our *miscellaneous class* and we all show up to learn about the same thing and discuss it with our *fellow colleagues in the comments*
the slight tension between crew mates in the commentary is my new favorite thing
@@whydoesyoutubehaveahandlenow what

Don't do you know anywhefe I'm just having something wrong circumstances have changed and i election I'm just got a few hours yet wbu You should od like e xcersize You should od rather have been a long time ago
What in the name of all Holy is a " feayher " ?
@Steve The second comment is simply a response to "Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?"
if it doesn't kill you it can only make you more paranoid :)
I'll remind you of this comment 6 years later
Finished with my woman cuz she couldnt help me with my mind
It's kind of icky and creepy. Interesting though.
Honestly that description applies to most invertebrates.
So is ur pfp
@@bemusedbandersnatch2069 for some reason sea cucumbers and starfish are heinous to me
IMO, its terrifying as f%&k!!!!
"for those of you viewing, we think that might be a siphonophore"
Me: well that helps...
I just love listening to the team’s banter.
This is completely out of this world.
How that thing is a living creature is beyond me.
Amazing that it's a bunch of living creatures working together.
I'm starting up a dnd campaign that has a lot of underwater places, and I love that I found this channel, not only is it really interesting to see what's down there but now I have creepy things for my party to find.
Looks like a chain saw dragging a piece of Kale...
This is the first time I've seen this kind of creature.. Awesome..
I saw a picture of this on facebook, I'm guessing from around 0:50. At first I thought it was a fish with some sort of horn, then I saw the high-res images.
I'm a bit unclear on a few points.
How big is it? It looks a few meters long to me, but I can't tell.
Is it known what species it is?
Is it free floating or actually maneuvering? At 1:04 someone says "it's putting on the breaks," but it appears to just be scraping the seafloor.
15-20 wiffle balls, were you even paying attention?!
Vagitaria Do you realize how far the wiffle balls are from the Siphonophore?
They say that it's smaller than a Portuguese Man-O'-War. So shorter than a human. It's apparently an undiscovered species of Siphonophorae, which are basically colonies of many small organisms that form a single larger animal.
There are both swimming and floating siphonophorae, but this one can probably maneuver by itself at least somewhat, considering that it seems to be sifting through the floor. It might end up stranded if it caught on something on the seafloor and couldn't move.
I'm pretty sure it controls the direction of its own drift, if not moving under its own power
man o war can maneuver it self too
Amazing. Thank you so much for your continued exploration of the unknown that is in the depths of our own waters.
not our "own" waters
Nature is so craycray!
Jonerico LOL indeed it is
I cannot believe siphonophores exist. I just recently learned of a siphonophore and the fact that they are colonies of zooids. It is bizarre and freaky to me. Also the siphonophore video footage in 1998 off Japan freaks me out. It looks like a freaking tentacle monster. But I am so fascinated by these, I hope we can learn more about these siphonophores soon! and get more video footage of different species.
This thing makes 'THE THING' look like something.
I love how siphonophores are basically spaceships made of tiny creatures
So how much damage does that shit do?
like 20 HP of damage for every 500 zooids.
jukijunk this isn't a video game. 😂
r/woooosh
depends on how much tentacles you got
1-3 dps plus paralyze that stuns all enemies for 8 sec
What makes these so entertaining is the scientist commentary and the excecive roasting of sea creatures
it's sad that the universe seems to be filled with nothing, if there just would be a bit more stuff, there could be cool lifeforms up there too, what do you thing is best for life to involve in, water or gasses like we do? Bodies seems to have a lot more room for creativity in water, since they don't have to focus on certain things
its a shame they didnt catch this thing in the dark, just saw one on tv from Blue Planet and was hoping to be able to find the clip on youtube. They look absolutely insane when glowing in the dark with all their tendrils outstretched. The one on BP was also much longer, it literally looked like a nebula spread through the water.
also those really weird shifting shapes at the front of it reminds me very much of the "architects" from Mass Effect Andromeda, and kinda the Remnant in general. very cool.
I love watching these for the commentary. "about 20 wiffleballs"
That was epic. Best image of I've seen so far of this animal.
Thanks for sharing.
It's an amazing creature!
Haven't seen anything like this before.. it's amazing to comprehend that so much unknown are still there in the depths
if i am not mistaken they are unable to give this animal a classification b/cx it is actual many differn't specimens working collectively together. Think ants, worker ants, queen and guards. They all are ants but have special traits/jobs
Well, they're all the same species in this colony. You're right in comparing it to other colonial animals like ants or termites. Except the specialization of individuals is a lot more extreme in these guys
you are mistaken. Ants and bees are a colony of animals, while the siphonophore is a colonial animal. Every single individual(zooid) that makes up the colony is a genetically identical clone. All of their "stomachs" are conected. If we can't classify this just because it's made of many zooids, then we can't clasify cats because they are made different organs.
Incredible! This is what makes me want to live and learn. We must protect this wonderous planet.
Siphonophore would be such a great band name
That's also true for an assassin
NautilusLive.org posted another video of what appears to be the same species of Erenna , while diving the Barbados mud volcano areas 70 nm E of Tobago . This video was in the GOM . The site has a vid of the other one .
What an amazing cnidarian . :)
omg this is a great find, I wonder what it is. Can't wait for the info about this creature!
This is the most incredible channel on RUclips
The ocean is like if Spore was a sandbox survival game
Love this channel. Thanks so much, EVNautilus, for this unique opportunity to view what is unseeable for the vast majority of us.
Scientist: "I bet that sting would hurt"
Uhm... Coyote Peterson ?? We need these results lol
1:24 She really went "shut up nerd" huh
First sign that sea animals are in fact evolving to mimic plastic bags for camouflage..
No guesswork there. It absolutely is a Siphonophore. 💯
God: I have created humans, the smartest killing machine ever, look at his muscles, look at his intelligence, it's the pinnacle, a true work of art!
Also God: And here is a ribbed buttplug with a tail.
these people use the internet to actually spread scientific or educational materials. somebody please give them an award!
It's a fucking pokemon
yeah its missingno ._.
Absolutely Hands-down one of the best channel I love it
To those uninformed, who might feel it beneficial to know, these Siphonophores, have a biological function which allows for them to virtually "clone" it's self systematically, due to it's fractal-like and rudimentary body structure... It holds the function of immortality, it really could be stated firmly. The potential for eternally sustaining it's life force. I think this is shudderingly baffling and exciting.
In one solitary word….FANTASTIC channel!
This is what's on Earth imagine other planets.
Word!
Siphonophores really are something to behold, they look like they are from a whole nother planet.
someone's disattached broom
this thing sweeps the ground for marine snow, pretty cool adaptation
Stunning really doesn't seem like the right word at all. I mean, it's interesting, but it looks like a mass of floating fish guts.
Ok, this channel is officially my favorite.
I know what it is! Its an ""IT"!!....Thats what it is!
*applauds*
Give this guy a Nobel prize!!!!
its something that makes me not wanna swim ever again
It’s a feather duster
Wow, that is probably the most exotic organism I have ever seen, and did I hear that correctly? It is actually not a single organism but a colony of them? Fascinating!
I'm still waiting for them to find my ex wife down there
Da fuk
Mine was found way back, they re-named her Megalodon
@@mr.t3440 scary BJ with those teeth
hiyoooooo
Your wife is down there?
That's probably where the siphonophore is going to run their train...

who's here from Kurgezat?
Me!!!
Me!!!
i love Kurgezat, are you able to share what video?
yes sir
I'm subbed to em if thats what you're asking
They explained what it was and I'm still confused
Gunship why ? What’s so confusing ?
"I'm taking like crazy framegrabs right now" I lost it, so stereotypical
and then it gets destroyed by a fishing net.

I wonder how long will it take for the Chinese to use it as aphrodisiac?
Well, about 27 sec.!
As soon as we get our hands on them, can confirm as a Chinese

Thank you for the reminder about siphonophores at the end.
And I thought I looked weird.
Stranger than fiction. MUCH stranger than fiction! Great stuff...thanks for the video!
What THE HELL was I looking at
Jellyfish.
Started by wondering about Portuguese Man O' Wars, went down a rabbit hole and ended up here to view my first siphonophore video.
I now wish this last 45 minutes never happened.
GOD is so AMAZING in his creations. LOOK around you can see His glorious work everywhere.
Praise be to his Holy Name
Don’t give all the credit of this wonderful planet to a dude on the cloud,he is even younger than dinosaurs
He made the dinosaurs and they got whiped out with Noahs flood.
Even that is easy to see. Why are all the fossils near river's. Cause that's what happens during a flood. Easy to see JUST have to open ur eye's and mind.
Norm whoever told you that is lying to you,first no not every fossil is found near rivers beside where the river at today is very likely not back in 60 million years ago.plus even IF it’s true,won’t it be more reasonable to think it’s because they need to drink water instead of believe in some bedtime story?
which god , allah?
The picture quality is out of this world, ...
its dumb looking i dont like it
rude
We know more about the surface of Mars than we do about the depth of our ocean floor.
Science is awesome.
It's not a living "thing". It's actually made up of many different animals that work together by having each animal serve a different function.
