The degradation of food-falls at the bottom of the ocean can create partially chemosynthetic environments. In the case of sunken whale carcasses (whale falls), the supply of organic material supports an ecological succession of communities. But perhaps less well-documented than the scavengers at whale-falls are the creatures that rely on wood instead. When trees become uprooted by storms or ships capsize at sea, losing their buoyancy as the pressure of the ocean forces out any air trapped within, bits of wood sink to the ocean floor where they create fleeting oases of life (wood falls), including shipwrecks, like that of the Titanic. The scarcity of food in parts of the deep ocean creates an environment where very little goes to waste. The animal and microbial life that dwells down here has become resourceful, able to make the most of even unexpected resources. So it comes as no surprise that the deep ocean hosts complex biological communities adapted to thrive on this sunken wood.

Fascinating. I had known, sort of, about how mussels reproduce by flinging their larva into the currents, but I'd got the idea that those larva had a short amount of time to find someplace to settle down. But listening and learning here, I wonder now just how long they really have? It can't be a SHORT trip from seep to whale fall - "tens of kilometers" may not seem far to us with ships and ROVs but that seems like a journey of epic length for a sessile creature! Also, is the same floating-larva method of reproduction used by the bone eating worms and tube worms? I found myself astonished over and over during the video at how many "non mobile" creatures seem to magically appear on the bones and the wood. It's plain that the tube worms did not WALK there, haha, but at the same time it still seems like a miracle that they are there at all. Once more, a wonderfully edited and scripted piece of work. You always put such thought and care into your presentation and it's superb every time. I look forward to the next one!

Good start. 3:15 I felt a bit proud that I remembered the name Osedax from previous videos. The teaching was successful. (40 tons of whale = 2000 years of marine snow, you really hammered that into my head) 4:45 Wow. The amount of life at display is incredible. You have really boosted my interested in chemosynthetic microbes. I didn't expect them to even live from byproducts from other "lower level" animals. The length of these food chains is astonishing. But I wonder how those mussels get to the wood fall. ...and mere seconds after writing the question you already answered it. This feels really interactive. :) Overall a fantastic video. I thoroughly enjoyed it. (and a little remainder that I had sent you another mail some time ago.

Screw the app, I enjoy falling to sleep to Natural World Facts! It's like ASMR.

This is so interesting. I just stumbled across your channel. Whale carcasses remind me of the dead trees lying on the ground in the woods. It has always amazed me how much life a dead tree supports. Anything from squirrel and woodpecker homes to mushrooms, moss, insects and more. I was able to witness a huge cottonwood tree die from a lightning strike. I watched it over the years in stages of decay. It took nearly a decade to finally fall over. Now it's a log on the ground still supporting life almost 15 years after it was killed by that bolt Edit: oh my gosh I made this comment before seeing the part about fallen trees. Amazing 😁

Your voice. Your voice makes me want to learn. Like that sunken ship, you leave me suspended in time.

I watch natural history documentaries voraciously, and I'm better versed than most in marine biology. And yet here you showed me several sights and interesting pathways life has taken I was completely unaware of. Thank you!
