MBARI's most loved
From the fish with a transparent head that started it all to a deep-sea angler with a loose tooth that captured the attention of millions and all the amazing animals in between, we’re sharing MBARI’s most loved videos to say thank you for exploring the deep with us.
youtube
In 36 years of deep-sea discoveries, MBARI’s remotely operated vehicles have completed more than 7,300 successful dives and recorded more than 28,500 hours of video.
Tumblr media
This video archive includes nearly 9 million annotations about what we see on video–these data are invaluable for scientists at MBARI and beyond who are working together to unlock the mysteries of the deep.
Tumblr media
These fascinating finds underscore the dazzling diversity of life in the deep. As we continue to study the largest and least known habitat on our planet—the ocean—we promise to share our discoveries with you. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do!

gulper eel
PERFECT!! THANK YOU FOR THIS EEL OFFERING!! I've spent many years using gulpereels as a name online and it stems from being obsessed with the blue planet deep sea episode and the gulper eel since I was a kid..... just what a creature. an absolute terror.

I kinda forgot to finish this beauty during #mermay, but here she is! I discovered this amazing animal called the gulper eel which is basically just an enormous mouth and a tail! It lives in oceans all over the world at a depth of 500 to 3000 meters, so no need to be scared when swimming in the sea ;)

031 - Pelican Eel (aka Gulper Eel) I don’t think I would’ve said this before spending two hours drawing this guy- but I kind of love gulper eels now? Look at that derpy face!! Just don’t watch videos of them feeding, it’s too weird. #gulpereel #pelicaneel #100daysofsealife https://www.instagram.com/p/CMFJu96jT44/?igshid=zjyjjlzvf3te

Monday morning stroll with Saccopharynx.⁠ ⁠ 
MBARI has studied the deep waters of Monterey Bay and beyond for more than 30 years. In our thousands of dives to these dark depths, we’ve seen this species fewer than 10 times. But we were so enamored by this curious creature that we featured it in our logo.⁠ ⁠

See that massive mouth? Food is scarce in the deep sea, so a gulper eel’s oversized mouth helps it swallow any morsel of food—big or small—that it comes across. Scientists think the glowing tip of this eel’s sinewy body might act as a luminescent lure to attract unsuspecting prey, and then—gulp—it becomes dinner.⁠ ⁠ 
Tumblr media
The midwater doesn’t offer any places to hide from hungry predators, so it’s eat or be eaten in these waters. Many fishes there have evolved inventive strategies for finding food, like sharp teeth, gaping jaws, and big bellies. MBARI scientists have been studying deep-sea food webs to better understand who’s eating whom. You can learn more about these curious creatures on our website.

The Freaky Looking Gulper Eel. I haven’t seen a smile this disturbing since The Joker in “The Dark Knight.” There are so many unusual creatures in the world of the Deep Oceans. This is a #repost from @mbari_news via @PhotoAroundApp This gulper eel, Saccopharynx lavenbergi, allowed us a head-on view of its amazing face with ROV Doc Ricketts. Gulper eels have a mouth that is loosely hinged, and can be opened wide enough to swallow a fish much larger itself and the stomach can stretch to accommodate large meals, although stomach content analysis suggests they primarily eat small crustaceans. ⠀ ⠀ #MBARI #deepsea #ocean #oceanlife #deepseafish #fish #gulpereel #eel #marinebiology #science #underwaterphotography #naturephotography #underwatervideo #sealife #deepsealife #naturephotography #nature #wildlifephotography #wildlife #ROV #rovdocricketts #DeepOceanLife #UnusualLifeForms https://www.instagram.com/p/B9WGfUxgVBJ/?igshid=9lq0x79c3479

An Angler Turkey. A horrible creature concept created by my good friend @shniglebop . I guess it is time to home brew a creature. This could be a good aquatic variant for a cockatrice #turkey #anglerfish #gulpereel #monster #creature #horror #creaturedesign #aquatic #bioluminescence #aquatic #cocatrice #RPG #dnd #creepy #creepyart https://www.instagram.com/p/B6AfsD5jGrR/?igshid=1jrkzps8ir3wg
