      @@robine9295 Orcas are a bit like that - almost as if they enjoy mentally toying with both their prey and onlookers.
      I was exactly the same as you when it passed by underneath, then...WHAM!!
      A predator has gotta eat - hopefully the ray didn't know too much about it.

    I like to think the creator of these videos found out about chimaeras, became obsessed and went on a deep dive (pun intended) into learning about it, and that’s the entire reason they decided to make videos about the deep sea and all it’s creatures
    Amazing work as always Leo!

    • @NaturalWorldFacts
      @NaturalWorldFacts  Год назад +16

      To be completely honest, that is EXACTLY what happened, but substitute Chimaeras for Greenland Sharks! 🙊 I got obsessed, and it led me down a rabbit hole of deep-sea fascination and now here I am, making videos about it and studying marine biology at uni!!
