David Attenborough shows us, with the latest in diving technology, the surprisingly numerous lifeforms that live in the Deep Ocean, a place where fewer people than those that have travelled into space have ventured and where we know even less than we do about the surface of the planet Mars. Nevertheless, this is a place that is well worth exploring, despite the difficulty as this is most definately the Holy Grail of the Earth’s Biota; the place where life almost certainly began almost 4 billion years ago, and even more amazingly the most likely conditions on which we will find life on other worlds.

@bohemka1905 They are luminous in order to attract prey to them. Because the trenches are so dark, creatures such as fish and other water animals are attracted to the light as a possible source of food. For example on FINDING NEMO when the Angler fish used the light on top of it’s head to lure Marlin and Dory towards it’s mouth. All the luminous creatures in such dark trenches as these use lights to attract their prey. Amazing creatures.
Holy shit…..i crapped my pants at 4:04
those guys got guts!
…also some animals generate lights in order to confuse prey or predators, these are done by jellyfish. The red algae, which most animals survive on in the deep ocean dyes most aniamls red, Red light travels slower than blue light in the ocean due to higher frequency EM oscillations(blue) decaying faster than lower frequency ones(red), for most blue light emitting predators, red prey become invisable- some animals have evolved red headlights which can detect red prey.
@bohemka1905 Some of the animals shown here generate their own illumination, mainly predators, by bioluminescence which is, in the case of ocean creatures, created by a self-made chemical reaction or special types of cells in the skin or both. some animals, such as female angler fish, use this to attract prey, others, such as squid use it for communication and also for camoflague; they cast a shadow in shallow water to creastures looking above them, so by glowing they remove their silhouette…
Might be a stupid question, but why are they all iluminous?
man that fish with those huge eyes are fucking scary
surprising…
woah
