Thanks for the suggestions to make a several-hours-long squid vid everyone! This was very enjoyable to create. What other ocean scenery do you want on Krill Waves Radio?
Jellyfish, otters, and kelp forest, please! Also would be rad as heck to have this with the live cams, i watch those at least a couple times a week while working at home
When we started, we never could've imagined our music being used as a backdrop to a video of squids chillin' for 2 hours... But it's a magnificent match! 🦑🎶🦑🎶🦑🎶
@@BEVERLYPRINCESS90210 the comment is pretty recent (21h ago at a one year old video). They haven't noticed yet, those guys have squids to take care of!
I woke up in the middle of the night, my YT had rolled over to this video randomly and I just love this music! Thank You! Now going to sub to your channel, hope you have content.
@@froggycolouring Thirded! :D My favourite sea creature at the moment is Costasiella Kuroshimae, a sacoglossan sea slug that looks like a little Pokémon. What are yours? (You don't have to choose just one.)
@@tripwire202 I just like all the cephalopods , though I especially like the umbrella octopus because they’re just cute, and the japanese flying squid because a squid flying is just really cool to me (I know theres other flying squids but these ones are cooler, 1. They’re japanese (I’m learning japanese) 2. I used to have some post stamps with them on) Honourable mention to the moon jellyfish though because they don’t even look real, they look so pretty :D Sea slugs are so cute though, I love the ones that look like they have the little rabbit ears and also the ones that look like panda
This is literally the kind of Lo-Fi I've been looking for. The lofi girls ones are nice and all but an aquarium on my TV with nice beats to accompany it is perfection in it's purest form.
I used to have an entreched phobia of cephalopods but putting this on in the background while studying for my criminology course is honest to god the most relaxing feeling in the world. Can't possibly stay mad at these dapper little guys.
My son is 5 now. When he was 2 we would always watch these and this was his favorite one. He would get so calm and he is quite the active kid! Thanks for putting out such nice calming videos.
I went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium a few years ago and it was amazing. The coolest thing about these squid is that when you go up to the glass to look at them, they totally look back at you with what seems to be the same kind of fascination and awe
My father once tried to show them a video of themselves and they all gathered around to check out his phone before darting off. Just wondrous little creatures.
I love watching the squid change their colors & patterns, I believe they do it to communicate with each other. Also as suggestion I'd love to see some octopus they're one of the most intelligent animals on earth & I admire them very much.
I may be late commenting on this video and maybe no one will see this comment, but I come here every morning and every day because of my depression. This soothing music helped me a lot. I just wanted to say thank you for letting me get through the tough times.
For heaven's sake. I snickered at the idea '2 Hours of Squid to Relax' until I clicked on the video, now I'm gaping at it thinking 'but they really are relaxing'. THANK YOU!
When I was little my parents always has a hard time pulling me away from certain exhibits whenever we would go to an aquarium or zoo. I remember enjoying watching certain exhibits so much that I just wanted to chill with them for hours. I feel so enabled right now lol
I often go to zoos and spend hours sitting in front of one exhibit, watching the animals interact, dig, whatever, and listening to adult after adult saying some variation of "Come on, we have to go to the next one" ... and thinking "Why? Why do you have to go to the next one?" Let the kid watch, for godsake!
One thing I love about reef squid is their courtship displays. No damage is done the contest is entirely visualized. It’s truly beautiful when a male and female squid finally pair up cause while it’s sad knowing there lives are nearly at there end it’s a beautiful thing knowing there sacrifice will give rise to the next generation.
What happens at 2:37? One in middle right turns pink and starts to attack another squid who jets left, turns brown, and returns immediately. The others seemed to move in to make things cool. Or is this anthropomorphic projection?
Good observation! The bigfin reef squid are highly social and they have a distinct hierarchy-it appears one took umbrage to another and decided to check them with a color change and jolt forward, and you can see the rest of them reacting to the social outburst!
@@crys4rmsd619 Awe, thanks! You're so sweet! We all do what we can to make this world a better place! I'm actually still laughing at what this one woman replied to me several weeks ago. We had been talking about the pic of her cute quail and I told her that I had considered getting quail a long time ago. Her response: "But it's never too late for quail!" 🤣
I went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium when I was 15, and I am about to be 20 and I still have dreams about the exhibits. I can't wait to be back, and "sea" these little dudes. Keep up the great work.
I love how they seem to be just as comfortable swimming backwards as they do forwards, I'm actually now unsure which way is forwards for a squid. Also think you might've struck on some gold here with the lofi squid combo, I was sceptical when RUclips recommended me a two hour long video of squid swimming about, but it's 1am and I'm still here, so it's clearly working
I believe the different swimming directions are used for different things. backwards swimming is faster if you need to make a quick getaway from a predator (and also lets you squirt ink right at a predators face without having to turn), and forward swimming is slower but more precise, perfect for sneaking up on an unsuspecting shrimp (and puts your tentacles in the right place to grab it)
I lived in California in the mid 90s and there was a public access station that was just a camera focused on a tropical fish tank with relaxing music playing. We called it The Fish Channel. I totally forgot about that until a minute ago when I saw this on my feed. Blast from the past!! 😅
This vid reminds me of something that happened when I was a kid. I was in town to meet with some friends, but Mum asked me to visit a local pet shop to pick up some fish food and I found they had a tank full of seashorses for sale. I ended up just watching them for ages, fascinated and mesmerized by the wonderful little creatures.
I'm autistic and going through a very stressful period right now. Yesterday I came home on the verge of a meltdown and managed to ground myself by watching this video for like half an hour. IRL aquariums can be overwhelming for me, even though I love them - but watching these little guys is extremely soothing (and fascinating, just ask my Wikipedia search history lol). Thank you so much for making the krill waves series!
I owe this video for helping to keep me calm and focused while I booked last minute travel arrangements that I’d been putting off due to anxiety. The trip turned out to be amazing and 100% worth it.
I've had a really tough couple of months and tonight has just been the worst. This video made it significantly better! Thank you to the team who runs this channel--you guys are the best!
@11:56 Squid go bonk, I won't tell you which one. I like to go back to the time when feeding starts :) I think I like the fact they have a "face". Moon jellies are soothing but at the same time, they lack any visible emotion, and I find that a bit eerie. Maybe moon jellies with plastic googly eyes would be less creepy.
They seem very polite, i love them :3 I volunteer at a nature center and your livecams and videos inspired us to do a lot of virtual live feedings this year!
Please consider making more of these Krill Waves Radio videos. These are perfect relaxing videos. The bigfin reef squid is my favorite. I study while my cat watches. We are big fans. More please =)
No kidding, this Livestream pits my toddler to sleep everytime I put it on, he loves watching the squiddies and the music is soothing enough that he just drifts off
This is everything I love: Lofi and Cepholopods. Hope everyone is staying chill, staying safe, and staying healthy out there. Thanks Monterey Bay for making Lofi even better.
Finally, wandering years and years in life, see so much with these eyes and the soul running on empty. Found this, the aquarium of peace, fill with squids.
