Hey there! Are you watching this video because you saw that strange footage of a magnapinna squid "attacking" something? Well, I made a little update video giving my thoughts on that, which you can check out here, if you'd like: ruclips.net/video/zOMEmn_r-sw/видео.html
Right?! I felt the same way! When I started doing research for this video, I was like, "all right, what other terrifying things does this squid do?" and ended up being like, "...oh. Nothing this squid does is terrifying." lol
honestly I love how unnecessarily creepy these things are. They look like cryptids. Like movie demons. And they're just hanging out harmlessly at the bottom of the ocean. They're literally just chilling down there. Menacingly. I love it
I hope aspiring game developers will draw inspirations from these creatures as potential NPC enemies in the next deep-sea survival-horror game. Not sure if Subnautica will have a third game, but fingers crossed 🤞
I think we should call them puppeteer squid, because they look like hands pulling the strings of a marionette. I think that's a way cooler name. They should let me be a scientist.
This just reminded me that when my little sister was like 5 or 6 I used to watch her all the time and she was really difficult sometimes and once we were watching a giant squid documentary and she was like “is.. that real…” and i was like “yeah, but dont worry. He only drives up here to take kids down into the ocean if your *really* bad” and right then someone randomly pulled up to our house and knocked on our door and she was like “DONT LET THE SQUID GET ME. ILL BE GOOD. ILL BE GOOD I PROMISE” And for the next like 3ish years if I ever needed a break I would just take out my phone and start dialing “the giant squid”
yeah that old joke works. ,... but its seems like a bad way to teach humans the right things. using lies as power source is logically and statistically bad .idea... atleast in unmonitored cases or the cases where something can go wrong... and in eworld everything goes wrong one day...
Ooooh.... my god... You have a cephalopod avatar, you do videos about cool ocean things, AND you took the time to credit an artist of an amazing piece when nobody else would? All right. Das it. You've officially just become one of my favorite channels. I'm sticking around.
There was a recent video release of a bigfin squid "attacking" an ROV. I use air quotes because it's hard to tell if it was just being blown around by the jets or if it was actually attacking, but consensus seems to be that it might have been self-defense after being startled. It seemed to be using its filaments like a coil-like whip to attack. This could maybe suggest that they're more active predators as opposed to just waiting for food to bump into them like how jellyfish feed, but we don't know for certain.
I actually haven't seen anything respectable say it was attacking anything. The main theories are a defensive maneuver to escape, or, the much more likely scenario, it was caught in a current.
I feel like another thing to mention when discussing the size of these animals is that it can be tricky to gauge size of things in the open ocean because there’s nothing to compare the size to, nor is there anything in the back to gauge how far away it is. If one happens to be spotted on chance there isn’t going to be the tools or intention needed to measure it
I have always been terrified of the deep water. The thought of what creatures could be lurking between me floating on the surface and the bottom of the ocean is mind blowing.
just remember that there's just as many derpy and adorable sea creatures as there are spooky ones with giant fangs. For every viperfish and anglerfish, there's a dumbo octopus flapping its little head flaps like a cartoon fairy
After watching this video I was so surprised to see you have less than 1k subscribers. The quality was great, and I’ve wanted to see more content on these strange, not-so-little guys for so long! I hope this channel continues to grow and get the recognition it deserves because it is 100% underrated. Keep up the good work! (:
I was thinking of a character inspired by one of these wearing a large garb while walking around slowly, as if levitating was. Then you showed the art created by kobadit and it made the idea 10 times better xD. Amazing!
Putting the insane amount of work and research you put into this video, but you're getting a triple like for crediting the artist and bringing that to attention. Legendary! Great video!
just came here from tiktok, i LOVE magnapinna squids, they just seem so silly in a "spooky lovecraftian spaghetti monster that just kinda floats there" kind of way. definitely my favorite sea creatures and i really hope we get the chance to study them more!
New subscriber here. I’d watched another of this channel’s videos before this - the siphonophore one - and when I saw the channel creator crediting an artist whose work had gone kinda viral sans credit, I knew I had to sub. That’s class, right there. Ensuring someone gets the credit they deserve when it would be easier to just forget about it and use the image uncredited. That’s class. As to what I would rename the squid? The Phantom Squid. They’re elusive, scary looking, hang out in the world’s flooded sub-basements, are vaguely menacing, and are very misunderstood. Sort of like the Phantom of the Opera. Phantom Squid.
I absolutely love your personality, editing style and content! I look forward to binging all of your videos and the new ones you make! An idea I had for a video would be to talk about the Deep Scattering Layer, I'm not sure if there's a lot to talk about but figured it might be an interested topic! Anyways love the stuff!
This video is absolutely amazing!!! Bigfin squids are actually my favorite squid, and it's so hard to find stuff about them!! This video is wonderful and full of information I'd never heard before. I also love that you called them spaghetti, because that's what I've been jokingly call 'em for a while now. When they're out of elbow pose, they're just overcooked spaghetti!!
I been looking for footage of this animal for years now, very thankful that you are not only sharing this precious footage but also your insight and knowledge, I love your channel, great work.
glad I stumbled upon your channel, I've had a love of marine life for decades but I also have a crippling fear of water which has provented me from entering that career path, its nice to hear someone else so passionate about them all though.
i’ve always been fascinated with cephalopods and they’ve been a comfort thing of mine to research - finding your channel has been a god send. your humour, along with the well sourced research and amazing topics i thought only i thought about make for an amazing time and help calm my anxiety when i begin to panic. can’t thank u enough for ur channel! keep at it!💖💖
I propose calling them Martian Squids 'cause they look to me like the Martian tripods from War of the Worlds. lol Besides, they look alien enough as it is! By the way, love your adorable octopus avatar! I'd want my marine animal avatar to be a stingray. I always thought they were so cool growing up, and just a week ago on an aquarium trip I actually touched one for the first time!
This video was a great discovery for me, as it includes footage I haven’t seen, which makes it clear that Magnapinnas are NOT that scary-looking… Phew! Also, I couldn’t understand the lack of suckers on their arms or filaments, based on the footage I have seen. Thanks to you, we know that their suckers are “microscopic”, so of course they don’t show up in murky underwater footage. I find Squids to be fascinating, and really look forward to your upcoming video/Magnapinna footage. Thank you, The Octopus Lady. Take good care!
There’s been newly released footage that basically changes the entire game what we though they attack like, instead of dragging those tentacles through water to get plankton, they actually *send those long tentacles out and wrap small prey up in them like any other octopus would* it’s terrifying
All of these videos really capture the joy of discovery in science and show how weird and wonderful our oceans are. the quality, research, and attention to detail as well makes this work really special as well!! Please keep up the amazing work and keep spreading the joy of our strange and special world!
Yep - was just gonna watch this a random vid that the algorithm fed me, but as soon as you credited the artist I liked and subscribed. Always credit the artist. Cool vid btw 💜
New footage just released of a magnapinna attacking a vessel, super scary watching the tentacles whip around so quickly, really makes them even more terrifying!
never trusted that they would be thr calm and friendly type they where allways just floating menacingly like they where staring at looking for the time to strike my judgment was justified recently
@@doomyboi I personally didn't ask, that was an attack pattern, something that was never observed before, and you're wrong, so idek why you left this comment but thanks anyways!
@Eamon Maguire "but you're wrong" wow, what a great and brilliant way to engage in scientific discussion lol. Were you the squid/ROV in the video? Cause that's the only reason I can possibly imagine that you'd get so defensive over an 'attack' by an animal with fewer braincells than a ginger cat. A+ for embracing the number of possibilities in our wonderful world!
FRIKIN SWEET SHOUT OUT TO THE ARTIST! It was my first time here, I'm now BELLSCRIBED! I really enjoy your delivery and personality, as well as your offered respect to other artists. I'll be back. Yes, i did say it like you think i did
Cool video! The first time I saw that night vision footage I was like “Why do their tentacles jut out away from their body and then hang down??? Freaky” Now I know! The parts that hang down aren’t tentacles. Wonder what about the human psyche finds their vertical position so unsettling, though. They’re just vibing, why does it give me the willies? Edit: Thought my parents showed me the original video, apparently they didn’t so I showed it to them. My dad’s response was “That thing is what nightmares are made of” 😂
I always wonder this too! Like why is my brain freaked out by this? I also wonder are the creatures of the deep freaked out by us and see us as aliens? :D
I don't know how and I don't know why, but I just happened upon your channel on RUclips. I just have to say that I instantly fell in love you....re channel!!! You are hilarious and informative and I love that you love science! I will be immediately watching every one of your videos. I'm on video three of my octopus lady binge day so far and I'm just LOVING IT!!!
It kinda looks like a marionette with the strings cut. Perhaps we should call it the marionette squid? It’s still relatively creepy but much cuter and true to character than “bigfin”.
As someone planning to go into marine biology, and with an intrest in deep sea creatures in Particular, and you have an adorable octopus avatar and such a speedy and energetic voice, such a delight. Gonna check out the rest of your channel!
Te algorithim hath shown me the Octopus Lady :D what a wholesome and sweet video!! Gonna have to listen to more on this channel. I think I'm about to learn some stuff today.
I have watched every single one of your videos and like, I love your content so much that I'm just rewatching. Keep it up I love your way of presenting research ❣️
He's just floating there... menacingly! Great video! I always wondered what these little guys were called. The name needs to be changed, though. I'm sure we will find out more and more about these creatures soon and I am here for it! First time coming to your channel and I subscribed right away! Great stuff! I am obsessed with marine biology, but I am too poor to afford to go to University so I read and watch a lot of documentaries.
I am so glad yourube has recommended your channel to me! It is amazing for my interest in the ocean since I was little! I'm in my early 30s now & still am fascinated by all of the things we don't know and creatures we think are weird & alien looking! My love for things like this definitely came from living in a seaside town growing up & my dad having tropical fish then marine fish. Though now I know how bad keeping those fish is for our environment & the seas & oceans & how they dont survive anywhere near as long in captivity
Just found your content today & love it! I'm going to show your channel to my lil sister since your content seems family friendly ❤ keep up the good work 👏
Elbow squid! i know they used to be called elbow squid, and what ever happened to that? it fits so well! its like their most striking feature! their pointy "elbows"!
I have seen the video at 6:14 played to low rider by the band “war” and to this day it is one of the only TikTok’s that takes up space in my head rent free.
Me: Wow, Nature is really amazing. We are so lucky to share the Earth with such amazing creatures. Also Me: *Jumps up on a chair and starts screaming.*
0:44 The movie "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissu" had a subtle joke about how deep sea footage often just looks like puppets where any time the footage was shown in the movie they just used puppets, really obvious ones that looked pretty bad.
what a wholesome channel and video.....about a hideous terrifying creature....love octopus though....squid...not so much but must watch video on them because.....because i must lol
The Big Fin Squid is my 7 year old nieces absolute favourite marine animal. She loves that it’s so creepy and scary. I call her my horror baby because she is fascinated by everything scary. When she found out that they lived the Great Australian Bight. Like just off the coast where we live it made her day. She was like I can go find them now. 😂 Absolutely going to show her this video.
"Weaver squid". I know they don't actually do anything that could be called "weaving" the way spiders do, but it's the most evocative name I can think of related to their most striking feature.
New common names for the big fin squid: -Squidward -Mommy long legs (daddy was taken) -Little eyes squid -VHS squid -The flying nun squid -Amcom -The Johnny Cash squid (they've been everywhere) -The wide fin squid (its just as wide as it is long) -Spaghetti angel squid (relation to the spaghetti monster) - can we just name them after the scientist that found em? Like the *insert last name here* squid face 😂 This is an amazing video and im hooked!
5:01 I'd assume they're for sensing when other creatures touch them since it can't see obviously. Hunting with a sense of touch. 5:52 damn, guess I'm wrong

You would not like to run into the 12m one with its tentacles in horror mode
@@inbetween7470 yeah it trully aged like milk
they are scary as all hell
@@inbetween7470 actually by its footage it seems like it was caught up by the ROV propeller, ya know similar to the footage shown in this video
Hell na, the upright pose is an attack position, like a snake about to strike.
honestly I love how unnecessarily creepy these things are. They look like cryptids. Like movie demons. And they're just hanging out harmlessly at the bottom of the ocean. They're literally just chilling down there. Menacingly. I love it
The vibe I want my life to have.
They're just standing there.. MENACINGLY!!
I hope aspiring game developers will draw inspirations from these creatures as potential NPC enemies in the next deep-sea survival-horror game.
Not sure if Subnautica will have a third game, but fingers crossed 🤞
They look like asteromorphs from all tomorrows (or it's the other way around)
They're the spawn of cthulhu what the scientist don't want you to know is that the adult is cthulhu (jk) but there is something elegant about them
I think we should call them puppeteer squid, because they look like hands pulling the strings of a marionette. I think that's a way cooler name. They should let me be a scientist.
I second that!
You’ve got my vote!
I thought the same thing!! I like puppeteer squid as a name for it.
im here for it
I was thinking the same thing. Marionette squid is an awesome name
i've heard them called "elbow squid" based on the spooky pose they like to do, and that feels like a pretty good descriptive common name for them

I feel like another thing to mention when discussing the size of these animals is that it can be tricky to gauge size of things in the open ocean because there’s nothing to compare the size to, nor is there anything in the back to gauge how far away it is. If one happens to be spotted on chance there isn’t going to be the tools or intention needed to measure it
Just bring out a hundred meter ruler. Not that hard 🙄
I have always been terrified of the deep water. The thought of what creatures could be lurking between me floating on the surface and the bottom of the ocean is mind blowing.
Yeah there's lots of critters down there, but if it's any consolation to you, the vast majority of them don't even know our species exists!
just remember that there's just as many derpy and adorable sea creatures as there are spooky ones with giant fangs. For every viperfish and anglerfish, there's a dumbo octopus flapping its little head flaps like a cartoon fairy

Elbow squid! i know they used to be called elbow squid, and what ever happened to that? it fits so well! its like their most striking feature! their pointy "elbows"!
BIG thumbs up for artist credit. EVERYONE TAKE NOTE, THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT.
I have seen the video at 6:14 played to low rider by the band “war” and to this day it is one of the only TikTok’s that takes up space in my head rent free.
I appreciate this video. There isn't a lot known about this squid and I have been interested.
0:44 damn that camera got +100 drift 😂
That footage between 6:00 and 6:20 filled me with existential dread
totaly love your aliveness-slightlysarcast-humor!! This stuff is interesting as it is, but you can keep my attention...
Me: Wow, Nature is really amazing. We are so lucky to share the Earth with such amazing creatures.
Also Me: *Jumps up on a chair and starts screaming.*
Just found your channel, i absolutely love it.
0:44 The movie "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissu" had a subtle joke about how deep sea footage often just looks like puppets where any time the footage was shown in the movie they just used puppets, really obvious ones that looked pretty bad.
I love so much that u made videos about this squid cause its one of my fave animals and I like very much ur channel
I'm kinda watching your videos a bit backwards lol, but the more I watch you videos The more I am finding these deep sea spookies to be adorable.
I love that little wave of the squid at the end of the video!
I love deep sea creatures, they're actually so cool
3:52 they’re also called elbow squids!
I didn't know I needed this content until I watched this.

Good job educating is on the magna pina. And super-entertaining too.
Thank you
Your so cool for crediting the artist

Im actually thinking abt getting a magnapinna tattoo so this might be helpful
It is now and will forever be the Swimming Spaghetti Monster.
Has anybody suggested the name ELBOW SQUID yet? Y’know maybe it has normal size fins but its mantle is extraordinarily small?
You teach me about beautiful features and teach artists well?!?! In love
The Big Fin Squid is my 7 year old nieces absolute favourite marine animal. She loves that it’s so creepy and scary. I call her my horror baby because she is fascinated by everything scary. When she found out that they lived the Great Australian Bight. Like just off the coast where we live it made her day. She was like I can go find them now. 😂
Absolutely going to show her this video.
"Weaver squid". I know they don't actually do anything that could be called "weaving" the way spiders do, but it's the most evocative name I can think of related to their most striking feature.
these guys are super cool, but that footage of it moving gave me a massive case of the heebie-jeebies! learned some new stuff here, thanks!
You're awesome for giving credit where its due.
Just found your channel, love the narration!!
I would call them elbow squid if it were up to me. That pose is so distinctive, intimidating and funny
New common names for the big fin squid:
-Squidward

😂 This is an amazing video and im hooked!
Just found you on Nebula and my wife and I are binging everything. Soooooo good and enjoyable. For a new name, based on pasta: Angel Hair Squid
5:01 I'd assume they're for sensing when other creatures touch them since it can't see obviously. Hunting with a sense of touch.
5:52 damn, guess I'm wrong
