- A rare hairy anglerfish that entered the Museum's collections 13 years ago had perplexed researchers with its massive stomach. However, the specimen was so rare they didn't want to cut it open to identify its last meal. Now, using micro-CT scanners, the Museum's imaging experts have finally been able to solve the mystery...
00:00 Introduction
00:39 What does the real hairy anglerfish look like?
01:17 How does the micro-CT scanner work?
02:07 What are the initial results from the micro-CT scanner?
03:00 What prey was discovered inside the hairy anglerfish?

This is Johnny, and he is my fish.
Yes he has been dead for 12 years but we still have fun.
Wanna see lil’ Joey? He’s been dead for 36 years but he’s fine also he looks long and looks like a whale
Fubar!
@i 👁👄👁
*_Bro what the hell_*
"have fun" (☞ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)☞(☞ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)☞
If that was in china someone would of eaten it
I always pictured these fish being a lot bigger than that, anyone else?
They have such great big attitude for their size, I guess. The size makes sense I guess because a meal is going to be few and far between at those depths. Things are dicey at this depth because there is no plant life at all since there is no light for photosynthesis.
Compared to most creatures at that depth it is one of the largest fish down there. Aside from the Kroyers Anglerfish, Oarfish, some species of Viperfish and Pelican Eels, it's up there with the biggest.
FedorovAvtomat It would annihilate a viperfish or pelican eel. Just look at it.
Its size ranges from 20cm to 3ft..
The females are larger
Seeing people being so passionate about the things they do (as weird or eccentric the jobs are), sparks joy in me. It's so attractive and charming.
Keep it in your pants dude this is kid friendly
I totally agree.
@@Pipecat3 I made a crass joke get over it
too bad your job sucks
If I could build LEGOs for a living I definitely would love that job.
That scientist dude had a crazy look in his eyes when he first held the fish
Hypnotic mustard 😐
Yea, like he wanted to have sex with it. 😂
And that's what make scientist a scientist thou
I wonder how they got this fish since they are really deep ocean dwellers
I could'nt even see his eyes.
Dude must have the weirdest dreams...
vara fouroneone Nice one.

Angler fish don't dream bro
I hope that fish had good insurance for those 3,000 X-Rays
KingLucario34 there's been no competition to Mars that's y we haven't gone
yeah he is from the european deep sea so he probably has free insurance 😂

Just imagine eating something whole and it moving around in your stomach. It creeps me out so much.
Now I am more disappointed with the thousands of people who like vo- I mean um, the bad stuff. (This is why I hate deviant art. DISGUSTING ASDFGH)
80% of the human population has parasites in the shape of worms. Crazy huh?
It's the same thing while pregnant. Yes it is creepy.
What if it ripped through your stomach from the inside
this is why I'm never having kids
Aliens: "We can scan the specimen and reveal it's exact stomach contents. Imagine what it's final meal might've been!"
*Me with a stomach full of Mountain Dew and Doritos*
Aliens: "Interesting... appears the specimen was a bottom feeder... it's like to have dwelt in pitch-black darkness 24/7"

Respect. This is is a Reddit-level quality comment.
This was funnier than it should have been 😭
He sounds like he really enjoys his work and is passionate about learning and studying these sorts of things and sharing this knowledge with other people.
These are such valuable people with these characteristics, because it's more than just a job to them. These people are the ones who dig deeper and find the really interesting things. Because they like it!
Love coming across people like that. :)
Agreed
@@organisationxiv2927 look deeper, it's not the society's fault
This guy wiped his glove full of formol on his apron. Disgusting and dangerous habit.
@@organisationxiv2927: The pursuit of education and knowledge, for the sake of it, is fairly common in Europe. Here in the US, education is seen merely as a vehicle for more income and a more prestigious career. Nearly everything we do in the US; our most important cultural values, our outlook on humanity and society, etc.; is asinine.
@@EMILFEIKMAN: It is, though. We have become collectively morally bankrupt; at least in the US. We value greed, cheap products, and are completely self centered; all the while things like compassion, the collective good, and real equality are looked down upon.
That must smell rank....
It's contained within a solution of alcohol so probably doesn't smell too bad
the alcohol smells like death trust me
It's been fixed in formaline or formaldehyde before being put in alcohol. It probably smells slightly fishy and like formaldehyde and a bit of ethanol. So probably not super rank. Just like a lab.
they should have freeze dried it
Devon Couch freezing things even freeze drying them would alter the tissues and make it much more fragile than if it was fixed and preserved with chemicals. Especially if they were going to dissect it later, freezing tissues make them incredibly mushy and hard to distinguish in comparison to dehydrating and fixing with formaldehyde. When in a lab setting you're supposed to keep anything fixed in formaldehyde under a fume hood so you don't actually smell it that much.
This is what technology was created for not to be weaponized. That was awesome. I was born early 50's and we didn't have access to this kind of information or technology.
Sorry you had to grow up when weaponized technology was at an all time high

It's dead ya know?

@Mwaniki Mwaniki 😘😘
And yet here we all are ... Go figure.
Then everyone :...mmmmm sure why not
Hell yeah
Before when I didn’t know what they were actually called, I called them “lantern fish” cause they have like the light thingy.
Haha true
me too except i called them “fish with a flashlight” lol
Same. In reality they just shine as a lure
In the Netherlands they are actually called lantern fish (lantaarnvis)
They actually are called lantern fish, it’s just another name for the same species lol
Me: *enjoying some nice pickled herring*
Everyone else at the science history museum:
Oh the whiff
What a cutie. He looks like a mad scientist.
But he didnt doing anything repetive. Nor did he expect different results, tell me, what part is mad?
He is a whole snack, isn't he?
RGU Haven they said he looks like one, not that he IS one
No he is a fish. Anglerfish can’t become mad scientists.
Wait you talking about the man or the fish?
hes mad scientist! its so cool!! sonuvabich
Its like Aliens not discovered in our own world, is good to see to the stars, but also we can´t forget the another unexplored world of the deep sea, awesome!
Mark R yup we need more research on this planet
Mark R space more important
Mark R exactly but in space it’s easy to deal with the zero pressure but in the water the pressure is just so much that I don’t even think we could send men to deepest part of the ocean
Blake Mosley submarines robot and tech, just like on the space
deep water has alot of pressure, if i am not wrong some of it has 20 elephants weight or so (pressure). so robot who could endure the pressure can explore the deep water.
I was a CNA student. I can smell the preservatives just by seeing him leave the jars open.

@Tediuki Suzuki nope
You can see Hitlers face inside the Anglers mouth at 2:57

Ikr it ate hitler
Omg ahaha
c0731 Why do people keep saying that? Lol.
i swear i thought it was some kind of a 3d edited video of a guy inside an ugly ass fish

or hitler
Bruh haha
Hahahahaha!!!!! You're right!
here before 100 likes :>
what a legendary observation
Angler Fish: Died from a severe case of indigestion.
probably more because it was suddenly pulled out of the deep and had its internal organs collapse
So.... An angler fish can get a free CT scan but humans need to pay for it.
Gosh man , SIGH why you gotta be so mean .😔😔
Meng Meng KNOCK KNOCK ITS ENGLAND AND FREE HEALTH CARE.
Welcome to the American Healthcare System
Im a Fish alright but can you please explain how I die then eat, I really need help so I can get a free CT scan.
Im a Fish r/therewasanattempt
@@lovelydovley1704 Knock knock, it's not free, sweetheart. Someone's paying for it.
I wish they put a interactive model on their site. I want to be able to rotate and really analyze it myself. Maybe at a better res then on this video. They have 3d scans but they dont even show a full rotation on one axis, I want to be able to see a full rotation on all axises.
Vamdae well get over it

HZY **axes
Axes you mean.
When was it ever axes what the hell
Imagine this mans morning voice.
koy drakensang lmfao 🧟♂️
Nice seeing these comments,
I thought I was the only one odd enough to be watching ct scans of a fish’s stomach at 4:15 am
This man is the most eloquent fishmonger I have ever come across. I raise a toast to him in appreciation.
idk this all seems a bit fishy to me...
Lady B'gok ahhhh. I see what you did there. Love it.
Lol stfu
Lady B'gok nigga...
Its a fish
Dahh
You can tell this guy loves his job and is genuinely excited for this discovery
why is he wearing a chef coat? that's what everyone's ignoring...
Sous vide the fish
It’s also got poppers instead of buttons. That’s because if he drops any dangerous fluids on himself the garment will hang away from him allowing him to just rip the coat off. The quickest I’ve seen it done in is about 2-3 seconds! I think they were hurried along by the fact that it was acid drops that fell onto the coat!
Right after this he fried it up and served it.
He cook le poisson
1:01 it looked as if the heart was still beating😕 but that was his hands causing the belly to move....whew,lol. I got nerves for a hot second 😂
I know, I was thinking the same thing!!
@Sonic the Artist no thank you.. sonic the artist...
Who cares about the anglers fishes last snack when James is a whole damn meal 😩😫
AJ Delgado I’ve seen better fish..
I’m-
@Toori Baba I smell jealousy
Right tho?!
Jonah dude.
When I was young I thought this fish was a monster.
Never seen someone so excited to be at work
Am I the only one that thinks it looks cute when the angler fish started swimming?
Channatat Klomjit .. *OH NO STAPH* o.o
It looked tasty to me.
@GOD OF ART Only if it is a bloated female with a male already attached.
@SONIC ART Its actually an extremely tasty fish
Yes.
Who here got mad scientist vibes from that guy?
Cute mad scientist
I guess...? Not really actually that guy is spooky
He looked at the dead fish with such loving eyes
James Maclaine smile shows passion, this is what it looks like people when you are in a career field you like. I believe in all of especially if you are into examining bizarre creatures in depths too dark and deathly.
Yeah, the 5% of people who are doing what they like
I’m so glad it wasn’t a plastic bag
i dont think plastic can reach that deep
ev ev i saw a video of exploring deep sea and they did find plastic lol
ev ev - it does
The angler fish is a rainbow of ugly!
Someone's gotta light up that pretty pretty lady
Lol
LIES
Nini Pie just like mr
Nini Pie it’s not ugly just you that didn’t understand how *ART* works
That is one place in the world where I would not suggest eating at your desk.
It's a good thing you figured that out ..
"World expert in otiliths"? I'm trying to imagine the thought process of someone deciding that they want to be an expert on something SO specific. Still, they certainly knew their otiliths if they could identify the last meal species just from those two tiny bones.
Awesome video!
And cute curator is cute.
Gotta go supernerd on fish I guess.
Person studies marine biology, specializes in fish. In order to identify a number of closely related fish under study, person studies otoliths. In order to stay employed, person writes paper regarding the particulars of their otoliths. This paper becomes highly cited because it's useful to other scientists, person writes additional papers regarding otoliths in other groups of fish. Person wakes up after several such cycles wondering how the heck they've turned into the world's authority on fish ear bones.
That's what it takes to get that PHD I guess.
@@jasonpatterson8091 Considering how useful they are in identifying fish...
Jo Cat take in mind that it doesn't mean they even specifically chose to study otoliths. Their top tier knowledge could be a side effect of studying something broader
Near the end of the video with captions on it says
“When people ask what’s inside we can give a definite answer.” *”you”*
you know nemo really had me thinking these fish were the size of a whale🥴
2:48 Me at the playground
2:52 Bubba the bully
if lovecraft could see this
elessal ikr
Well, he did write "The Shadow Over Innsmouth."
he created it before all of us could see it
Lovecraft would love this
I love how the thing it ate just looks like the most generic fish ever.
Just realized how small Marlin and Dory really were.
I wish I had his job. I’ve always been interested in the deep sea, so many mysteries.
Well be a marine biologist then
has minor pain in arm after fall
doctor: let's take a x-ray
bill: 20000$
dead fish with dead fish in it
scientist: let's take 3000 x-ray and build it in a 3d volume
I love that everyone assumes that scanning this fish was free. The dead fish and the dead fish inside the dead fish are smarter
Holy, I thought the angler fish swallowed a baby at first..
alrightyden what did the fish swallowed??
@@crispybacon9633 Someone threw their Baby into the Ocean.
Death by vore...
A sentence I regret and want to forget about typing.
Lol
Just commenting so you are reminded of the existence of this comment.
Pike Johnson I’m just copying the guy who commented before me
this comment reminds me of that one zefrank video with the testicle snail.
A rather common occurrence in the animal kingdom.
wait it’s tiny i’m so confused i feel like my life is a lie
wonderful stuff! lucky people working at the Natural History Museum - a dream job.
Good video thanks
That was amazing! I loved the end result of the scan. Really great documenty, thank you. 👍🏻😁
I'm glad that there are fearless and curious ppl like this in the world because I couldn't do what he does. Just the smell of fish and formaldehyde would run me away.
Deep sea is like another ancient world, we always admire what's in it.
Science knows more about outer space than our oceans depths
I’m sorry I was just focusing on how hot James is 😂😂
Chacha - Maybe you should focus on your life instead.
Lord Cam nah I’m good
same he’s really cute
I also get serial killer vibes, which leads to the image of him preserving a human in a huge jar and calling them his specimin
Yah your right...🥰
Video needs to be renamed: fish man and the pickled chunker
This is one of the best you tube channels and by far the most underrated
Turn on English caption it will say
"Now when people ask what's inside its stomach i can give them a definite answer"
"*YOU*"
creepy
jerleeson cedrique alipio i'd like to know what people ask him that and how many times in a day to make him so happy to finally have the answer..
i'm imagining people calling him at night asking "what's inside the anglerfish's stomach doc?"
That's from the music. RUclips auto-generates the subtitles based on the sounds of the video. Sometimes we get funny, or in this case creepy, results. Good catch though!. LOL!. :)
Hahahaha thats awesome!
Dory and Marlin are shook
Thank you very much for sharing and all the best!
A face only a mother could love.
That's horrifying to think that we live on the same planet as that thing.
how lol
Wow. This video was amazing!
2:29 That scanned image looks like some badass, creepy, almost anatomical art, or like the design plans for some Sci-fi movie monster.
This has inspired me to continue studying marine biology, thank you.
*Kill it with the force of a thousand young suns.*
Name not found damn..
it's already dead buuut ok
I like guacamole you have to burn to ashes to be sure.
why
Name not found it's already dead
The way he was handling it I thought that fish was still alive
That was fascinating. Thank You...
Can you imagine the smell when that container was opened??? 😒
Oh wow I thought they were way bigger! They’re quite small!
I don’t know why I watched this because I have a phobia of animal skeletons and that anglerfish skeleton was the worst thing I’ve ever seen in my life, I actually gagged
so if i reply to your comment, and you got notification about this, and you opened the reply and saw the video again, would you gag again?
and again
Wow.....I am always fascinated by these deep sea critters.
In the 50s my brother Jim, made one out of clay for a science project in high school. I have no idea where he got the photos and idea for it. Thanks for reminding me of my younger years. I have no idea where it might have ended up.
Makes you wonder what other terrifying things that live super deep in the sea.
We have no idea what's in our sea depths. It's scary to think that our very planet is still a huge mystery to us all.
People like this dude amaze me... like what they find interesting and become passionate about. I like being mind blown by things, but my oh my it's great to see this guy geek out about some deep sea fish after all the graduate school work he's done just to get to do this... lol xD
I’m so glad RUclips recommended this... this is so cool!
I wonder if it's possible to build a pressurized aquarium for one of these
Probably, it’s getting it out of the ocean that’s the problem
@@gabewandrei6616 they can survive a couple of days in lower pressure but after that they will die
Why would you do that to her though.....
@@SegaDream131 to learn more about them it's literally the same thing as keeping a gold fish but a lot more expensive and harder
But yet your asking why keep what would basically be a pet?
Kind of odd that your asking this
@@snacky-cp8hm All data would be limited to the scope of "said specimen inside a prison exercises said traits" therefore it is useless unless that is your destination of the expirement....
1:00 seemed alive for a moment
Thanks for this video. Truly great work. Very interesting.
Wow awesome 3D image. Keep up the good work
This reminds me on the angelfish from Finding Nemo
Just imagine on Tinder “It’s a match” guy loves the ocean, seafood and has pet fish.
First Date: Welcome to my lab...🤓🤐
You: 😳
Im a guy
Incredibly interesting. Thank you for uploading.
One of the most interesting reccomendation yet.
The question is how did the fish die? Or did you guys just captured it?

I never new natural history was this interesting
That scan produced a stunning image. Just stunning.
Nobody:
RUclips: You wanna see what this anglerfish's last meal was?
When will this "joke" end? Why can't people think of original things to comment?
Is this the fish from finding dory? o:

WOW what an amazing video!!!
I was amazed. Keep up the good work
