Written, narrated and edited by me, Leo Richards. This channel (Natural World Facts) is my passion project dedicated to exploring the wonders of the natural world and telling stories that inspire! This film is unusual in that it is my first piece of contract work, commissioned by Schmidt Ocean Institute, who have kindly given me permission to post it here on UA-cam - so the style might seem a little different to usual, but I had a blast making it. The film premiered at the Royal Institution in London. See the film's outro for full credits. Thank you to everyone at SOI who recorded the footage, gave interviews, piloted the ROV, kept the ship running, and managed a boat-load (literally) of media and footage to make this film possible!
Schmidt Ocean Institute (SOI) is a non-profit oceanographic research foundation that has been pioneering deep-sea research and discovery since 2009, on board their old vessel RV Falkor and their new RV Falkor (too). Their remotely operated vehicle (ROV) SuBastian is equipped with a suite of sensors and a 4K camera that has illuminated the depths and live-streamed dives around the world. Most footage shown is filmed and provided by SOI. Check out their website: schmidtocean.org/

Exploring life in the deep-ocean midwater is a long-standing challenge for deep-sea research.

    Great coverage of a fascinating topic. Multiple types of life assemble at a source for a sustainable existence at deep sea hydrothermal vents. We look at these helpless creatures as vulnerable to any changes in their environment. When considering the universe as our ocean I often think of how like these creatures we are. Huddled together competing for the resources on our own vent in the universe. Earth. 🌎

      Yup!! Not all science requires special high tech equipment. If it works, it works. This specific case involves using the bristles to trigger the squid’s ‘autotomy’, AKA ejection of the tentacle tips, a method of tissue (and thus, DNA) collection far less intrusive than removing and killing the animal. And yes, the tips grow back. It’s a defence mechanism, just like lizards ejecting tails.

    Was gonna subscribe but y’all censor your videos, and a channel calling itself “Natural World Facts” should be giving us the facts of the natural world. Not censoring shark feeding videos, on a dead whale mind you. How is that even offensive? Even if one makes the argument of not wanting to show a “hunt” for whatever dumb reason, ok fine, but this whale is dead, nothing happening in the ol’ brain pan. Insane
