I've been a lifelong fan of documentaries of deep sea creatures. Outside of documentary films and series, is there a good place to find just extended reels of footage of deep sea creatures? Like, maybe stuff that may not have made the cutting room floor in order to squeeze in time for as many other different locations and animals as possible? I'm aware that a lot of what we see on camera is the result of fleeting interactions that are exceedingly rare, but surely somewhere out there, there's interesting long-form footage of things living in the twilight zone or deeper? I can find some long videos of say cnidarians or siphonophores on youtube, but not much extended footage of the really deep sea organisms without any cutting away to the surface or other parts of the ocean. If anyone knows good resources for any sort of long form footage like this, I'd very much appreciate it— it can be with or without narration and music, I really don't mind either way, but preferably something without a constant logo on the screen. I appreciate the research institutes and aquariums that upload things for free on youtube, but having things like that in the frame just kinda takes me out of it and diminishes the experience for me.

Thank you all in advance.

This Hermit crab is Elassochirus cavimanus. He came from 210-250m deep. Also he likes cold temperature so i keep him at 15'C. I usually feed on mycis shrimps, but he prefers copepods more.

I had a DVD as a kid that I believe had an open ocean episode and a deep sea episode. One detail I can remember is that a deep sea fish is shown and the narrator says this is the first time it's been seen/filmed.

I hope that is enough to go on. Any help would be appreciated!

Found in Vilano Beach Florida today.

Edit: FOUND!!

I saw a documentary on Netflix I believe, I have no idea what it's called, but it was about sharks mating. Two sharks mate (aggressively of course) and the poor female looks like she is being brutalized.. but right after the male pulls out of her a random eel pops out of the ground and bites him right on his clasper. It's exactly as hilarious as it sounds and I want to send it to my husband, but I can't find it. Can anyone help me find this please?

Found!!! Disney+ 50 Shades of Sharks Episode 1 from 38:50 to 39:10.

I understand that they are a colony of small creatures (zooid) that sort of work like a single creature.

Beyond that I am pretty lost.

Are the different parts different zooids? like is the head made up of type A, body type B?

How do the ones that aren't collecting food get fed? do they reproduce as one zooid and then change to a head/body/tentacle type?

wikipedia is using far to many big words, and I can't find an explanation anywhere else.

Hello, I'm looking for someone to share facts about deep sea creatures with whenever we find something cool and new.

I know probably nothing compared to the rest of this server so would probably not be able to contribute much

I don't have the app so intervals between texts will probably be a couple 6 months or so

This is my favourite character in Octonauts at the moment

This is my favourite animal (colossal squid)

Can I swim?

It's one of my dreams to take a submarine ride one day

Thank you for your consideration!

I would like to know
