“Scientists have no idea why” What a cute way of discrediting scientists.

"Believe it or not, it glows!" A marine organism? Having bioluminescence? How crazy! Next you'll tell me there's a type of bird that can fly!

"Recently discovered" "It was drawn in medieval maps" bruh

The biggest discovery of them all was the cave full of sea honey off the coast of Florida

“What has been recently discovered?” The loch ness monster 2 probably

Imagine depicting something as a snake, calling it a fish, and then saying it's a giant sea slug with humps before referring to it as "a worm"

I discovered the Megalodon 2.0 and it can actually survive in the Mariana trench but you wouldn't have heard about it, it goes to another school

Crabzilla is the biggest and the scariest sea monster you can't convince me otherwise.

the coolest recent discovery is that giant spider crabs living in the Mariana trench have a symbiotic relationship with both certain species of seahorses in which male seahorses release a fluid that is consumed by the crab because it contains many nutrients and proteins. This fluid often washes onshore and is commonly known as sea honey.

I'm just dying over the fact that a sea hare, a marine gastropod that's mainly harmless, was referred to as a "dog killer" lmao!

"These slugs can grow their whole body, this is unsurpassed by any other animal." Ribbon Worm: am I a joke to you?

The kitefin shark lives so deep that only blue light waves reach that part of the ocean. Its bioluminescent belly is the same color as the light coming down, so it blends in with the surface when something is looking up at it from below. It's a form of active camouflage that's pretty common with creatures that live in that zone of the ocean. Also, the kite fin shark was first scientifically described in 1788, so the most "recent" discovery is over 200 years old.

I'm not even mad about the oarfish placement, because Oarfish are just really cool

11:32 "Leviathan class lifeform is in your area"

Make a sea cucumber species tier list

"Then just don't eat the dead fish on the beach" Something I never thought would need to be said

AVNJ: What has been recently discovered? Me: You

“They are pufferfish! Dont eat them” Japan: im gonna pretend I didn’t hear that

"Human teeth are some of the strongest things in nature." Also human teeth: I broke because someone punched me.

“I’d like to think people are capable of doing that...” Unfortunately, we’ve had people tell people to drink bleach and they listened... so...

The Wandering Meatloaf doesn't even look like meatloaf, it looks like melted ice cream.

0:57 For your information, the Kitefin shark was described in 1788. Hardly 'new'.

The Sea Sponge is a terrifying, eldritch being. The Sea Cucumber is even more traumatizing, though, but the Sea Sponge is a close second.

When I saw that video of the "Sea monster" in Iceland I almost died. I don't even have words to describe it.

I'm disappointed by the lack of Crabzila

Can I just say it is really awesome hearing a specialist in their field talk about their field. This guy really knows his stuff about sea animals and I know that he enjoys his work. It shows a lot in his videos. You can say that he hates his job or he can say he loves it, it shows that he likes doing what he does. very nice

What I find the funniest part of the "Icelandic beast" is that as the camera moves the shadow moves with it lol Like it is "moving" forward and the left at the exact same time while maintaining ONE type of moving pattern 😂

Seeing sea sponges as the 2nd craziest discovery that was also recent it made me laugh so hard I almost choked

"Recently discovered"? Do they mean that in the literal, singular sense? In that "Here are some creatures that were recently found by people. They're not new species, just people found some new individuals within the species"? Could literally just call this "10 Crazy Sea Creatures some People Looked at"

“These slugs take it to a new level by regrowing their whole bodies” don’t tell them about flat worms it’ll blow their minds

Literally every number started with "a mysterious..."

"What has recently been discovered" Tinylodon probably

Megalodon 2 “Really makes you *feel* like a Top 10 channel threatening people to subscribe. 10/10.” - IGN

Oarfish is one of my favorite fish, particularly since if you hold one in animal crossing it looks hilarious

10:02 that's a lie. It's not used to kill. It's just a tasty substance that's meant to make predatotrs want to eat the delicous liquid instead. P.S sorry for my English, I'm from Poland .

Legends be like “there’s a big long thing in the ocean” Big long thing in the ocean found “Omg we knew all along this existed we have sighted it for thousands of years!!!”

I am honored to present to you our newest, most mind blowing, craziest discovery of this year, behold: THE SPONGE!

2:46 THATS LITERALLY A TIRE SKID FROM A BIKE!

The Iceland monster clip in this top 10 isn’t actually the real one.

It was such a power move for him to pull out a book of recently discovered species so casually.

That Derk guy actually a diguised JOJO that is trying to find all the sea animals with a Stand.

"a feat unsurpassed by any other living animal" planarians can regenerate entire bodies from a single living cell what are you talking about

I want to be a marine biologist when I get older. My favorite shark is the blunt nose sixgill

Teaching of the video " don't walk your dog on the beach specially if he is stupid" immortal words from AVNJ

“Deadlier than cyanide and can kill” yeah you said that in your first point??

I feel my brain expanding

Yeah, nudibranchs can regenerate their bodies and stuff, but that’s because it’s basically just a slug. Now, an impressive feat is the axolotl’s ability to just grow and reattach limbs and make them work. Their spinal column can come off and they’d be like “so? I needed a new one anyways”

Hi fish biologist man my friend Shawn is a fish biologist and he says that a new substance has been discovered called sea sugar and comes from a new species called sea bees is this true?

This is actually solid content. I appreciate these awful videos being properly roasted.

I would generally advise against eating any dead fish you find on the beach, pufferfish or not🙄🤔😄

I admire your patience. My brain usually hurts watching these kinds of video with breaking-news commentary showing fake pictures and wrong conclusions. I admit there is sometimes something to learn but very scarcely. I mean it is good to make casual people interested but not so good teach them nonsence.

"Believe it or not, it glows!" WOW! What a surprising fact! Another fact just as surprising is that the sky is blue!

The biggest discovery was that amazing documentary at the end

>Recent discovery >Sea sponges >Literally some of the first animals ever >Most iconic cartoon is about a sea sponge >Iconography synonymous with the ocean and have been used as tools for stupid long B r u h

10:43 Literally everyone who watched Sponge Bob felt a disturbance in the force

Everytime i hear the sarcastic "woooow" a laghter goes out if me xd

9:52 How dare they call it that, sea hares are amazing

My craziest discovery is this channel and I'm addicted to it

I remember picking up a sea hare thinking it was bleeding and returned it to the ocean (there was a lot of purple blood/ink so I felt sorry for it lol, it was quite cute and I remember wanting to hug it.

The kitefin shark exists everywhere. It's threatened, but I can say that I've seen one in real life. It's like a blue shark that glows in the dark. We call it "squalo zigrino", while the blue shark is called "verdesca".

Just hearing Katrina's voice is enough to piss me off. The Fumb Duckery is strong in that one.

don't worry guys this is a decomposed baluga

Love the addition of an outro. I've always thought your videos ended a bit abruptly

"It didn't realize how big it was!" Catherine, you are talking about a sea bag. It's literally just a Walmart bag with stinging bits and digestive enzymes

"Sea sponges" Literally everyone who watches SpongeBob: 👁👄👁

AVNJ please read, please react to biblaridian alien biosphere series part 7. It’s about fish evolution. If you read this please reply so I know that my message get across 🥺

i like how they always open with, and mix in some real creatures, to keep it grounded and 'believable', then try to sneak something riddiculous

For the record, the wandering meatloaf was discovered over a decade ago, if you search up the creature on KZfaq the first video to pop us is from ten years ago. Like seriously, none of these sea creatures are crazy, so they could've at least chosen ones that were actually recently discovered.

The wandering meatloaf is soo hard

Voice: "Ended up in the UK in the middle of June." AVNJ: "'Cause there was a heatwave." Me: O_O

Okay I already watched your oarfish documentary, but the way it popped up as the number one result after it was presented as the number one "new" discovery was just a perfectly hilarious flex. Very ron swanson "I know more than you" vibe

nice "ok" at the end LMAO

I love how avnj discovers clickbait again and again when watching these videos

Hey I have a question real quick is it true that some jellyfish can live forever by aging backwards or something?

This reminded me of a thing where some people tried to convince others that the prop used for the Royal Facehugger was a new species of giant sea spider

The Icelandic river worm monster thing that was caught on camera or whatever was recorded like ten years ago. I recently read the article about it and it was posted in 2012. I remember when the footage of that thing was on the news and it's not a river monster, it just looks like a bunch of ice or just some trash being dragged along by the stream. Lagarfljóts ormurinn (The Lagarfljóts worm) is just a really old legend of this worm that kept growing in a river cuz this woman wanted her gold ring to grow but the worm did instead. Not a real thing but the legend is pretty interesting. And what was shown in the video is not even the actual footage that was "caught"

Wow, how crazy! These creatures are real cool!

Crazy

I love the quick flex at the end

11:39 *self-advertising intensifies*

I feel that any KZfaq channel that talks about myths or recent discovery’s have no knowledge of what a fish actually is and read everything they know off the internet.

The "recent" is a relative term, I think that she means recent in geologic terms

The shark glows via Bioluminescence

I love around the 2:50 mark the video in the video in the video of someone using an uncut feather to write on a crumpled piece of paper at way too high of an angle (if you've ever written with a quill a dip nib or even a fountain pen).

Is it true that sea horses plant honey in the deep sea

Can we just agree on the fact nudibranches and other sea slugs are very adorable ?

About the shark glowing to make itself invisible: It's a commonly understood principle called counter-illumination. If you're looking up at something from below, it's going to appear as a shadow in the water because it's blocking natural sunlight, and thus most things are very easy to see from below. If you intentionally illuminate your own bottom to replicate some of the natural sunlight you're blocking, you become much harder to make out. This was tested as a form of visual camouflage on airplanes during WWII by strapping searchlights to the bottom of planes pointing at their own underbelly. A related principle is counter-shading, where creatures are just lighter colored on the bottom to make it harder to see them. White bellies are common across the animal kingdom for this reason, from sharks to squirrels.

My favorite part about these videos is just how funny AVJN is,so that's nice. Also I wish y'all a good daym

1:30 This adaptation is referred to as "counterillumination". The first time I ever heard of it was on the deep sea episode of Blue Planet, which featured the hatchetfish (Argyropelecus spp.) which has counterillumination as one of its many methods of camouflage. Hatchetfish have photophores on their belly which project light to mask their silhouette by matching the intensity of downwelling sunlight from the ocean's surface. You can see a really good example of it during that episode of Blue Planet if it still doesn't make much sense- they did a terrific job visualizing it in action! Love the content, from a fellow biologist! Considering showing clips of your videos in my classroom, particularly those about not trusting random videos online.

0:30 that’s me in chat, watch till the end to find out if I ended up screaming or not (FR tho, so many top 10 list videos about aquatic life feature the loch ness monster)

absolutely lost it in the end goddam this guy is just gold

That "wow" on the kitefin fish got me

What’s funny is that most sea/lake monsters are just downed trees. Either logged or naturally fallen. Also those trees collect things as it drifts; limbs, weeds and even fisher nets.

That Oarfish video plug at the end was shameless.... I love it.

Another video has been posted. You can’t argue with that, can you?

They could just literally title this content 'Cool ocean stuff'

I love this youtuber. Pls make more videos

5:36 Another thing that could‘ve brought them there are saltwater tanks on big ships. Some cargo hauling ships are build to flood their bays with the outside seawater, to stay at an optimal level to the sea, when not hauling cargo. It‘s quite common for aquatic live to get caught in these proceedings and then get transferred to the native harbour of the ship.

you know it’s dumb when the first things they showed us is a random video which related to nothing

Love your content man! Been watching u since your 3rd vid and I can say your amazing! And listen, please don’t screw a moray eel.
