Big gulp! The Nautilus team spotted a gulper eel (Eurypharynx pelecanoides) doing just that in Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument. Its pouch-like mouth can inflate in an instant, scooping up much larger prey just like a pelican--and giving it that muppet-like look! This gulper eel was likely a juvenile, as this species can grow up to three feet in length.

I’m a zoology doctorate student, and regardless of how much I have been around animals and how much I have come to learn about them, their lives, their behaviors, and their habitats, they always manage to surprise me in at least someway everyday. This is especially true if your someone who is specializing in field research like these guys, there is never any telling what is to be found out there or, what it’s even doing lol. This is especially true for those of us who have a career specialty in marine life.

@@themotions5967 the thing people also dont realize with the EV Nautilus crew is that theyre not all marine biologists.

Same here. I remember only being able to see drawings or paintings of these things when I was a kid in the 80s. But now all of the deep sea creatures that were previously only depicted via drawings or dead remains can be viewed in full video. Gulper eels, oarfish, snipe eels, deep sea anglers, barreleye fish, viperfish, and even the giant squid! It's amazing to finally be able to see them all. Some of them even turned out to be weirder than I could have imagined.

@KrillLiberator 2 жыл бұрын

I have a feeling that, if you were reading the books I was at that age and time, you were introduced to the *true* Gulper Eels, not this related Pelican Eel (different genus). I know when I googled these, I was not expecting something with this head shape, but rather a vertical lower jaw and a cylindrical body and whip tail. That would be a separate animal. Scientists should know better than to use conflicting common names.

I've always wondered, why do flat earthers choose whether the world is round as the scientific orthodoxy they want to protest? Isn't that a lot easier to prove than, say, proving the force of gravity? Isn't it easier to argue that time does not exist? Either would be harder for scientists to prove than the roundness of the earth.

An anaconda can dislodge its jaw to eat a way larger pray than it's size..... Gulper eal: hold my slime.

@thehulk86 5 жыл бұрын

actually that's a myth. Snake's don't unhinge or dislodge their jaws at all, it's just that the lower jaw (which is composed of 2 separate pieces) is connected to the rest of the skull by elastic ligaments that they use to 'walk' over prey too large to swallow normally, which is everything in the case of large constrictors

@Jack Snow Oh yeah, I forgot, we're both right. Or wrong, I guess lol. What they actually do is a combination of both things. The snake skull is only loosely connected by very elastic tendons and is composed of 4 parts (the left and right halves of the skull and bottom jaw). There is articulation between the jaw and the rest of the skull, but the snake unhinges it when it swallows something. That's why you see snakes 'yawning' so much, they're readjusting the various parts of their skull and jawbones.

My husband and I were watching this live. Up until this point it there wasn't a whole lot of action; one of the narrators/scientists even called out the lack of fauna in the area they were exploring. This was right at the end of the team's watch and they were getting ready to change shifts and then this happened - SUCH a fun thing to catch live! What a moment for them and the 60-odd people watching live that night :)

YES! This is what I like to see. This is one of the best videos I’ve seen from you, right up there with the Viperfish and Sperm Whale. This is the sort of footage you don’t get anywhere else. Beautiful. While you guys are out there collecting data, I think it is worth noting the work you do in expanding our Library of footage of rarely seen organisms. This makes a lot of lives a little better for having seen it. Thank You.
