Great informative footage delivered with such humorous narration.. thanks for capturing the hatching off the sack looking egg, never seen before, and the saw fish!! Amazing beautiful creatures.
I learned a ton in this video! Usually I just watch these videos to reaffirm things I’ve already heard and see the wonderful photography, but this time around I found out a bunch of new stuff!
I came to learn only about Manta rays, since they're one of my most favorite animals in the world, and I ended up discovering many more amazing rays in the process! I have a new found liking for the Torpedo ray! Thank your for the amazing video! You've got a new fan/ subscriber.
Your videos are the best! I enter a zen-like state through the amazing music and great facts. I think it would be cool to be a marine biologist, and watching your videos further reinforces that. Keep it up!
I love all creatures of the Seas. This video was awesome! I've been waiting for a new one and wasn't disappointed. :) Could you do a video possibly on Wild Orcas?
William Cox Inside trivia fact: This Blue World segment was created for season 4 out of a variety of skate & ray footage we have collected over several years making the show. Since we had no specific "stand ups" of me talking like we usually do, we decided to try the green screen effect and shoot the standups as overlays on the video. We enjoyed it so much, we decided to make the Shark Academy series with the same technique. So in effect this segment was the one that spawned Shark Academy.
For the sake of your hard labour, we are lucky to wacth such a bewildering sea creatures. I can't thank you enough. May Allah( God ) bless you. ❤️& respect from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
In 1964 I was five years old we lived on a boat in Kingston Harbor Jamaica but we lived in Port Royal yes the port royal in fact we lived in a marina the very small marina that was only like 200 feet from the seawall that went down into the ocean at the epicenter of the earthquake true story... manta rays would be catapulting out of the water out in the bay and you can hear their slaps as they landed from miles away every once in a while someone will hook one just fishing off the boat dock and one time an old woman and a bunch of Jamaicans got one all the way in and when it came up it was like 8 feet around and they just cut the line and it’s slowly swam off even at five years old I still remember it.....Very beautiful and majestic...... thank you for your videos Jonathan the ICON‼️®™️
@@BlueWorldTV thanks for asking I live in New York City and work here but I actually own a home in Denver but the works in NYC thanks for your feedback I know how busy you are at least I can imagine absolutely fantastic videos every one of them as always...... I C O N‼️®™️
Just want to say a big thank you. After watching Moana my 2 and half year old has become obsessed with rays. We've watched so many shows about rays but yours is her favourite and this episode in particular has been watched so many times in our house. The knowledge she has gained from you is incredible and we've been able to branch out and watch a few of your other episodes too! 😊😊
Well I'm glad to hear that rays are what got her into the show!! We have a new video coming out in our series DIVE STORIES on our second channel @Blueworld_plus next month about my first experience with a manta ray. Be sure to tune in for that. Scheduled for release on July 25th.
I just swam with a spotted eagle ray beauty in boca raton Florida she was amazing saw her both days! Thanks for the video I looked this up after to learn more
This is a wonderfully informative video! The only have 2 things I would say is that some deep dwelling sharks, like the cookie cutter shark have fully functional spiracles as well as wobbegong and Angel sharks. Also there is a difference between a saw shark and a saw fish, Pristiformes being saw fish and Pristiformiformes being saw sharks!
My son Noah and I saw eagle rays yesterday while snorkeling in Maui. We wanted to learn more and came to your video. Thanks Jonathan! We’re hoping we see some more today!
again, I love this show!! the music the person talking in the beginning and of course Jonathan! ( i hope there is no mistakes in ur name ) the way you present the show is awesome. I like whales and I am from saudi arabia. There is no animal caring like here or most places. I have visited new England's Aquarium because of you! and I loved it! My dream is to see the BLUE WHALE and hopefully i can see him. can you tell me where should I go, even if there a chance to see the blue whale, I would go ! thank you!!!! keep up
This might be a dumb question, but can't water transfer electricity, sooo if the torpedo ray electrocutes something would it transfer it through the water all around it??
i love the ocean so much, yet im really a theatre major. i would like to take a marine bio or oceanography class. what do you guys recommend i take? ive never taken a class like this but i want to next semester ;)
Really awesome video, this was so helpful..I'm pretty sure you highlighted the sharks nostril when you were referring to it's spiracle(s), since spiracles are posterior to the eyes.. And the spiracle isn't really like a nostril, just confusing because the rays nostrils are ventral by its mouth. Also, the sawfish uses spiracles, but so do many benthic sharks, so that's not why it's a ray
I love rays! Thank you for this video. I had never known about the torpedo ray! Crazy!! Can you imagine getting stung/punctured by one of 3 stingers from the eagle ray?! 😳
I recommend doing a video on the angleshark. they are very endangered so I would do it soon so it doesn't become extinct. they also are a type of flat shark or really look like one
Joseph Bunyan We are always working on them. Keep in mind that this show involves great expense and a lot of world travel. We can't just whip them up every day!
My main question is how does a sting ray stop predators from actually eating it. I know it has the stinger, but does it extend or hopes all prey attacks it from the back?
Kwazii: The octopod is secure as ( gets zapped) Ray: Whoa! What's the big idea steppin' on my tail like that? First this big orange thing drops out of the sky, and now these guys are walking all over me while I'm resting on the sand! It makes me so mad! I can ( zaps) Captain Barnacles: Easy now we didn't to startle you. We were on our way to visit a friend when our ship crashed.

Don’t forget there is a 3rd cousin of the shark the chimera.
I work at Sea life (not sea world) and watching these videos makes for some interesting facts for the guests I speak to!! Thank you!
RAYS ARE SO FRICKIN CUTE MY GOD I LOVE THEM AND IVE SEEN THIS VIDEO LIKE TEN TIMES
rays are really interesting
WOW!
Skates and rays are so great!
They look so diferent from each other!
And that new born skate was so cute!
Herowebcomics mope
saw someone get bitten by a skate and it bite them
lol
no lol
too much blood
The sea is such a beautiful place! I can't wait to explore it and learn more about it!!
You can say that again!
Anna C Same, when I graduate and move out I hope to move to southern America maybe in Cali or somewhere next to the sea so I can go exploring often.
Great informative footage delivered with such humorous narration.. thanks for capturing the hatching off the sack looking egg, never seen before, and the saw fish!! Amazing beautiful creatures.
He forgot about the Chimera though

These creatures are amazing i remember going out to the channel islands last year and seeing some manta rays surfacing to eat
I came here to see footage of manta rays, but man those eagle spotted rays are just beautiful ! stunning!
Such a fun channel. Whenever I feel blue or bored, I can come here and there's always something beautiful and soothing to watch. :)
Don’t forget the 3rd cousin of the shark the chimera.
Skate babies: I know I must camouflage myself in order to survive
Human babies: I must cry rapidly for no odd reason.
Can we all just take a moment and admire how STINKING COOL Jonathan is?
Yes, we should do that! :-)
Thank you. It’s lovely to actually know the differences between sharks, rays, and skates while watching beautiful shots.
did anyone else want to dust the torpedo ray off?
Me
Woopty Do me
Woopty Do
Nah don't want to electrocuted
Yea it was really bothering me
My knowledge increased about these sweet marine animals, you guys are the best, but you guys certainly knew that!
Why does this channel not have a million subscribers? Thank you Mr Jonathan Bird for what you do. Great job, awesome channel!
Eddie Demezes We're getting there!! Spread the word! I really want to hit 100K by the end of 2015!!
I love this episode! I love getting all the info about these creatures and your enthusiastic explanations makes it a 100 times!
I love all creatures of the Seas. This video was awesome! I've been waiting for a new one and wasn't disappointed. :) Could you do a video possibly on Wild Orcas?
Thank you for up-close shots of all these beautiful animals. I see them when I dive, but not as personnel as this! (:
The longer format allowed you to segue more data along with your usual hands on hosting technique. I quite enjoyed it.

What’s your favorite Batoyed mine the manta ray because they’re the biggest also they’re really friendly
I like Mantas too, I liked how one was in Super Mario 64. (One was also in prerelease screenshots for New Super Mario for DS.)
I just want to thank you guys for what you do. Love all your videos. My favorite show from my childhood!
Thank you!!!

I'd love something about the beluga sturgeon! have you done sth like that before?

Woohoo another Blue World. My 5 year old daughter will be happy when she gets home from school today.
The best channel, most amazing, beautiful.. My best wishes to entire team of Blue World.
Thank you so much 😀

Wow, hadn't heard of most of those. Question, though - if sharks can't breathe through their sphericals (sp?) what purpose do they serve?
R MH Some sharks can breathe through them, mostly bottom dwellers like Wobbegongs.
R MH I have read that it provides a direct flow of oxygen to the eyes and brain for most sharks although I am not sure the benefit of such a thing
Holly Chandler So, a passive air intake kind of thing? Huh. Sharks are cool, but they are also so strange! Thanks for answering. : )
Wow great video man, swamn with manta's was great fun, keep up the good work and educating me and many others XD
I say again, another great video with great information. Keep it coming Jonathan
Best channel ever !
Great video! I like the informative approach a lot.
I hope you make more episodes real soon.
Have you done goblin sharks or really weird looking fish like the frog fish?
We have featured the frogfish in a couple videos. Check out our episode on the goosefish! Now that is a weird one.
I learn so many new things because of your videos. Thank you Jonathan and team!
Thanks for watching!

Saw a skate in the surf near the beach on LBI today. Avery cool considering they almost never come near the coast! Gave me quite a scare!
The scientific term for this species is the Sea Pancakes :P
molly winegar now we only need to find the maple syrup fish
No it's not sea pancakes,It's sea flap flaps
Bounty Hunter actually it’s majestic sea flap flap

Thats cute 😅

Wow such an informative video👌... I just love your channel♥️♥️♥️... It is always like coming with you for a deep sea dive!!!
Woh these marine flying carpets are awesome looking creatures.. thank you Jonathan Bird for showing them.
Have you or can you do a video on the cuddle fish
+Tonia Barrera NO!
+Gee Joyner Why not...?
Tonia Barrera do you mean Cuttlefish? 😂
The torpedo/Electric ray looks compelling.
what was that Electric Ray shocking in 5:57?
PeeJaaY Gaming Nothing, we added those CGI electric sparks in post as an illustration.

"And while they're not as well known, they are just as fascinating." I would say more so.
Thank you for the video some of these rays i've never heard of like the torpedo ray
Torpedo Ray can shock 240 volts !!!!
someone on Discord just introduced me to your channel and I've subscribed... sorry I was late being able to find this channel
love each episode !!! i like the way you present the show!!!! keep up please !
Your videos are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. I LOVE sharks
Great video. We enjoyed it a lot.
Maybe in a future episode you could go diving on the wreck of the Lusitania.
That was fascinating you are definitely Jonathan "the icon"
Thanks!

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
Are they relative with Amazon Stingrays and Plecos (L numbers) ??
I have plecos in my aquarium.
Umut Gündüz Yes, related to freshwater stingrays.
@@BlueWorldTV I thought a plecostomas was in the Catfish family⁉️®™️
شكرا جزيلا لك على هذه القناة ... معلومات مذهلة تقدمها عن اسماك القرش شكرا
Are there any other species of skates beside the little skate
Definitely. Hundreds of species.
I call rays sea angels!!! Sharky xxx... Good name for them, they're so beautiful!!!
I love rays! Thank you for this video. I had never known about the torpedo ray! Crazy!! Can you imagine getting stung/punctured by one of 3 stingers from the eagle ray?! 😳
Chances are the Eagle ray is long gone when it sees you!
Now imagine getting stabs between 50-100 timss by a stingray just like Steve Irwin did
why are manta rays so friendly? as well as the whale shark (well as much as it can take being friendly)
***** My guess is that they are highly intelligent as fish go and they are curious.
BlueWorldTV
so even the wild animals can seem tame?
+Tsumefan2 Manta Rays and Whale Sharks have no interest of us, they have a completely different diet from other sharks
LightningToothless
so that's why they are so chill?
Maybe. They are also curious.
His voice cracks me up 🤣 I love it.
Was that an Eagle you had in there?? Rays are so awesome! Thanks Jonathon!🙏💙
Eagle rays are cool.
I recommend doing a video on the angleshark. they are very endangered so I would do it soon so it doesn't become extinct. they also are a type of flat shark or really look like one
So funny, scientific and unsensational!! Great 🦈
Got shocked by a ray once (I stepped on it while windsurfing). Unpleasant but kind of fascinating experience.
EddieGuy VH when i was at the beach i saw that someones foot was shredded and bloody
now what did the person step on....guess
+Tsumefan2 Sting ray? Sorry i'm late
meowmeow HD
no it was a skate
***** Okay my bad.
I wish Jonathan did his blue world more
Joseph Bunyan We are always working on them. Keep in mind that this show involves great expense and a lot of world travel. We can't just whip them up every day!

Cool video! As always! Keep up the good work
My main question is how does a sting ray stop predators from actually eating it. I know it has the stinger, but does it extend or hopes all prey attacks it from the back?
SinOfDisaster In spite of the stinger, stingrays do get eaten occasionally by large sharks. Great Hammerheads love to eat stingrays.
BlueWorldTV Thank you. Stingrays are beautiful creatures, but always wondered if that was their only defense from predators.
thank you very much.
yeah this is really super amazing.

They are using the sharks for protection.
