I love your videos
YES!
That moment, being face to face with the cuttlefish was incredible
That ain't no cuttlefish, it's actually a cuddlefish.
@@sir1603 I don't know if you're just joking but cuddlefish does not exist. It's called cuttlefish
@@perssontm1628woosh
@perssontm1628 Really, guy? 💀
@@Dr.Rosenbaum I swear to god many people really think it’s called cuddlefish, I can’t tell if they are joking anymore lol
That encounter with the cuttlefish was super cool. Love how curious and intelligent they are. Fascinating creatures.
more like cuddlefish
That man just bonded with that cuttlefish forever
Reminds me of the Netflix documentary film My Octopus Teacher, not with a cuttlefish but with a octopus, highly recommended if you haven’t seen it. A naturalist and filmmaker dived out everyday to bond with a octopus. 10 years in the making.
Haven't seen that, so I'll definitely check that out. Thank you!
@@OvertakeGT Curious as to how that happened considering the average lifespan of most know octopus is only around 1 to 2 years.
the bobtail squid using it's two little hands to convert itself with sand is the cutest thing I've ever seen...
There's a spider that buries itself in sand and looks hilariously adorable while doing so.
That really was awesome!
I actually LOLed. That was the cutest things I've seen all week.
I mean come on, the content. From a bunch of guys filming some insects to world class content. This is spectacular stuff guys, the editing, the close up, the quality. Well done guys, really.
Seconded
that cuttlefish probably sounded crazy going back to tell his friends and family "You know the myth of those large weird looking creatures that blow bubbles while staring at us?! I JUST seen one! it tried to hold me!"
cuttlefish*
that’s so cute :)
@@MadailinBurnhope He spelled it right, why are ya correcting him?
@@futuramabender2078- The comment was edited so there may have been an error beforehand.
Funnily, after being visibly startled by him the cuttlefish just looked like he was gonna just move on with his business. He only payed attention when the diver was "picking him up"
Deep sea creatures are definitely the closest thing to actual aliens I think we'll ever see.
Wait till you figure out that the bobbit worm lives in shallow and not deep.
Yeah...They aren't exactly in the " Deep sea ". Right now.
If you see human divers in a video, this means the water is not deep. For advanced recreational diving, the depth limit is 40 meters / 130 feet.
We live on an alien planet. We simply don't question it because we are born to it.
I mean they kinda live in another planet, no dirt, light that’s not the same planet as the surface if u think about it.
My husband and I have seen a bobbit worm up close years ago. We were visiting relatives in my husbands birth country-Karachi, Pakistani. It was at nighttime during a high tide I believe because the waves were rough and high. Lots of marine animals were getting tossed onto the shore. I even saw a dead black and white striped baby sea snake floating atop the waves. It was about a foot long. This bobbit worm was also a baby one. Only two feet long or so. The thickness maybe like your forearm or a little less? Very thick in diameter. It was just laying out on the beach. Not buried under the sand as you would usually expect. At the time neither of us had ever seen or even heard of a bobbit worm. We were cautious as if it was venomous. I remember it was a pinkish red color and did have this iridescent sheen to it. Those hook like appendages on its jaws I can never forget as they snapped open and closed just like in the video! My curious husband grabbed a foot long stick and tried to pick the thing up to get a better look at it. He gently lifted this thing and it would flip over and over. My husband asked me, “ What the hell is this?” I had no idea either as I said at the time and never seen or knew of such a creature before. It reminds me of a giant centipede! Coyote Peterson would freak as I know he’s not fond of centipedes-neither was my mother-in-law who passed away a few years ago. Coyote and her would both be on the ceiling if they saw one-and as close enough to touch it as I have! It truly is a thing a creature of nightmares or a sci fy movie! Very true indeed. I do not wish to come face to face with the creepy crawly mysterious bobbit worm of the deep ever again! I’ll run for the hills! Yikes! 😳 😮
bobbit worms are a nightmare indeed, especially for saltwater aquarium enthusiasts as they can just appear in their tanks from rocks they buy etc. A 5ft bobbit worm can hide itself in a 3 inch rock. You can't really kill a bobbit worm, if you split it into pieces those segmented pieces will just turn into another bobbit worm. So now you've got 3 worms to get rid of. They will line their burrows with a mucous that makes them even harder to extract, one enthusiast ended up just smashing his aquarium to get rid of the worm. They are brainless, can grow up to 10ft long, have a deadly neurotoxin and not only do the mandibles deliver the toxin, the bristles along its body can too. The neurotoxin will cause permanent nerve damage.
The way the cuttlefish was actually"cuddling" was insane to me!! That was amazing.
I think people have cuttlefish as pets.
@@michaelgilding6531 i can see that for sure, i got puppy vibes watching that for some reason lol
@@michaelgilding6531 Aint that the made up band that Carly and Sam like from iCarly? Or am I thinkin of somethin else?
I knew i couldnt be the only one!!! Lol
Cephalapod said *hug*
Seeing that golden cuttlefish interaction gave me such an indescribable feeling
That Bobbit worm is essentially a real life Saarlac from Star Wars, hell I was taken aback when you said it could be 10ft long. Geez. That cuttlefish moment was pretty much poetry given form though. One of those moments in life that make you think about the nature of the world and our place in it.
Just watched DUNE part 2. Can see the resemblance
@@JaSon-wc4pn oh man I need to go see that
Who else came here thinking he was going to let the worm bite him 🙋🏻♀️

That bobtail squid burrying itself looks so adorable😍
He looked so proud to, perhaps his 1st attempt at digging and burying and seeing if it worked. Incredibbely cute!
imagine if a Bobbit Worm was underneath! All that work for nothing!!
@@manilkasheran2934 And if it was a full grown Bobbit Worm that little bobtail squid wouldn't even be worth the effort.
" the porcupine fish must be attracted to our light" Proceeds to lure it to the Bobbitt worm
😈
Right? They knew what they were doing😂
Yes that kinda ticked me off lol
I got kind of pissed about that too. I'm cool with nature doing its thing but don't be the cause, especially for views.
Thankfully it's defence mechanism allowed it to escape death ,but the stone fish was not so fortunate.
Came for the Bobbit Worm, but the "cuddle" fish moment was really cool ☺
Mark: "Oh no, the pufferfish followed us. I hope it doesn't give us a great shot" while smiling deviously
That interaction with the cuttlefish was epic! I was holding my breath the entire time. I know you will never forget that amazing moment. That bobtail squid was so adorable! I just love sea creatures. 😍
The moment with the cuttlefish was truly breathtaking. You’d swear that stuff only happens in fiction.
This may be the coolest animal video I've seen. Man we really went on an emotional roller coaster ride with that first fish💀
Cuttlefish was the highlight of the episode the most wholesome moment I seen within the year
12:03 Okay, not gonna lie, this is the first time I've actually seen a fish escape a bobbit worm
Only other time I can think of was an octopus, which just BLASTED the Bobbit Worm's hole with ink
I think this was a very valuable bit of footage. How the porcupinefish used its defense mechanism to escape a bobbit worm is probably not something that has been filmed ever. Very interesting for sure.
@@busybillyb33well yeah if it increases size massively it can’t be pulled under
@@dominusdone5023even when puffed up it seemed smaller than the scorpion fish. im guessing it just didn't grip it well enough to pull down.
@@AnimeNinjaz bruh what they aren’t the same size how is a puffer fish blown up smaller?

Suddenly! (Fremen)
"Hey you guys been to Saturn, I've been to Saturn!"
idc about the bobbit worm bite nearly as much as you befriending a cuddlefish tbh banger video
this vid is something that the team will definitely never forget. Glad they could cover these encounters with an amazing camera crew.
See, this is why the ocean terrifies me.
This is why the ocean amazes me.
@@gulmen1919exactly!
This is how I know that Ocean are full of Satan's Pets and it's making me Excited
@@gulmen1919The ocean is both amazing and terrifying depending on what you run into down there. Generally, as long as you know what to avoid or watch out for as a diver you’ll be safe.
The scariest thing for me is the darkness behind him. I kept imagining something massive like a shark appearing out of nowhere to smile for the camera.
5:33 Mom, can we keep him?
that was beutiful
Your handling of the cuddle fish was extraordinary. Well done
Kudos to your music and editing team! I felt a spectrum of emotions with every sea creature you interacted with in this video ❤️
Glad you enjoyed it!
The bobtail squid in mark's hand is very cute❤
That and the cuttlefish interaction made this video special. Baiting the Porcupine and Scorpion fish diminished it.
The worm attacking that fish looked like something out of a horror movie.
The monster from the 90's movie "Deepstar Six" looks like it was inspired by the bobbit worm.
The Bobtail Squid trying to hide itself was so cute
OK, that cuttlefish is officially my 2nd favorite encounter on here! The one where Coyote found the Ocelot is my all time favorite still 💕💕
That cuttlefish was so cute! That interaction was perfect! Amazing!
It’s amazing how the pufferfish managed to survive as other fishes bigger than itself were eaten
Dude, that interaction with the cuttle fish was like a positive first contact with another species.
Woah! The cuttlefish was incredible! It might as well be the equivalent to making first contact with an alien! That bobbit worm is terrifying... the way it attacks its prey really is sci-fi. I also noticed the amount of little creatures swimming around in the water. The dirt that makes up the sea floor would be so exciting to look at with a microscope! This entire video is a cool science fiction movie ❤
You're so lucky to interact with the cuttlefish like that
I'm jealous
5:23 The fact that the cuttlefish is INTERACTING with you, almost like a pet, is simply mind boggling! That's so cool.
oh my gosh, the porcupine fish and squid! Ahhh they're so cute. The squid using its arms to cover itself from you is adorable! Seeing the porcupine fish inflate was so cool!
Wow, amazingly cool video! The scene with the cuttlefish is just mesmerizing, fascinating, gorgeous! It's very apparent that the little guy IS as curious about Mark as he is about it! Wow. It took my breath away! The school of catfish swarming gracefully was both lovely and grotesque to me, as I am disturbed by clusters of things, for some reason. Perhaps connected to my Trypophobia. But wow, there is so much beauty in the sea! Still, I'll leave it to others to explore, as I have Thalassophobia as well. Great voiceover too, Mark! Or, wait...would this be a "voiceunder?" I mean, you found Flotsam and Jetsam! ("Under the sea! Under the sea! Darling it's better down where it's..." Okay, I'll stop.) This is going into my favorite videos folder!
The way mark hold the cuttlefish is cute❤
Gotta admit this episode was truly worth watching This is a can't miss for sure and no way movies can recreate nature like this
Me personally, I have recently been fascinated by the Bobbit worm so this is really crazy timing! I have been watching brave wilderness for so many years! You guys have really been keeping me loving animals!! You’re awesome ❤️
Loved your interaction with the cuttlefish. I always wanted one. The little squid was adorable. The Bobbit Worm was freaky cool!
Dude the quality of this video is second to none. Thanks for bringing such content to us!
I have a newly discovered love for cuddlefish, so cute. And the bobtail squid using its tiny arms to cover itself lol so adorable
1 puff daddy was almost harmed in the making of this documentary
4:40 It's a cuddlefish
the cuddle fish is so adorable :D
*cuttlefish
That cuttlefish said: Am I on KZhead, Human?
😂
That bobtail squid made my and my son's heart melt. So adorable!
I was so scared! I thought the poor porcupine fish was gonna get eatin' 😅
4:50 😆 crazy how you can talk perfectly underwater 🤣 even adding the UHH!
I’m pretty sure it’s a voiceover but don’t quote me on that
@@DinoNuggiez11 it was and he was being sarcastic because of the emojis
I just discovered your channel. Mind blown when saw the number of subscribers. 10 mins into it I understand why. Excellent video (love the slow motion) and description, the music adds a cool mystique. Looking forward to your other videos. Thank you, keep them coming and stay safe out there.
when a cuttle fish puts you in a trance even if your watching on youtube lol.
That was a very cool video. The bobbit worm is nightmare fuel
There's no pot of gold on the end of this Rainbow... 💀
mans out here on a youtube channel getting better footage than crazy expensive expiditions with full crews. keep it up!
Wow! This meeting with the cuttlefish!! So mesmerizing!
Finally, Brave Wilderness is doing an episode about the Bobbit Worm 🐛😊. Now, please do an episode showing WHAT HAPPENS TO THEIR PREY WHEN THEY'RE EATING IT UNDERGROUND. 😮
...how are they supposed to show that
@@packagin4255 Just stick a camera right in there, of course! How else!? For real though, and I am theorizing this as it's possible this encounter could never happen again, but maybe get one of those thin cameras and let the Bobbit Worm "catch" it? I honestly don't know if it's possible or not, I am absolutely not an expert, or even a beginner, but I am curious. Maybe capture one and put it in an aquarium? I'd like to see what happens, if there's any way.
What happen to their prey? That's a fairly easy question. They are digested.
@@leonhart829 after it "catches" the camera, how exactly do u go about retrieving the footage? somewhat doubt the ocean is rich in wireless data lol.
I think it's sad how what actually happened here was the use of the light to bait the fish into the bobbit worm, to get a "cool shot"..
This is the first video I see of this channel and is for sure awesome!! Got me so invested and got the opportunity to learn about creatures I would have never guessed existed
That was really interesting, it seems like the Bobbit worm was up higher when it was around the porcupine fish, which swims above the ground. But seemed to burry itself lower when the scorpion fish came along, which crawl along the ground. That seems very intelligent.
12:25 that was INTENSE!
Video should be titled "WE HELP BOBBIT FISH CATCH FOOD WITH OUR LIGHT" fish only came right over cuz they were interested
Bro are you really upset about one animal eating another animal
@@MrDdededbro they forced the puffer fish oversold shut up
My man really cuddled with a cuttlefish. Seriously gotta be one of the coolest moments of all time. So cool!
one of my favorite videos yet. Excellent footage, info and what an experience!
0:05 What happened to Mr Puff
“She doesn’t like to talk about it.”
Learned more about our world in 15 minutes than at anytime I remember. Well done!
That was the best thriller i've been seen in a while! Discovered myself with opened mouth while watching! What an outstanding documentation!!!!
You got some outstanding footage here! Congrats to you and your team, that was utterly enthralling to watch, especially vibeing with the cuttlefish, even more then the terrifying Bobbit worm. I initially wondered if the worm was named after the castrating legend Loreena Bobbitt but no, although it certainly could be.
6:30 - Fun fact, on moray eels. In the Alien movie series, they got the idea of the 2nd set of jaws, inside the main jaws, from the moray eel.
YESSS IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS I was wondering when youd all do a video about the bobbit worm :D
The cuttlefish bit was cute. I’d call them Cuddlefish.
Wow that cuttlefish's colours looked like it was really enjoying that. bright intricate patterns, big red belly, looked like was enjoying the nesting and studying you. wow...... That alone, amazing. And the gentle little puffs to go away slow.... hehe. Amazing footage, thanks for the adventure.
you guys scored some historic footage, great job bro
Great editing and production quality, it was like an underwater horror flick.
the most impressive thing about wildlife footage are the guys that have the patience to film it. Love your work from Wild America to Nature I don't know how you get the shot
This dude’s vanity is off the charts and the music is crazier than the animal noises in monster bug wars
Been following Brave Wilderness since 2017. Mark Vins BEST VIDEO YET! Outstanding Semper Fi!
One of fave videos from you guys! That cuttlefish encounter was too cute
I clicked for the horror, but stayed for wholesome moments.
Brilliant video, start to finish. Had my full attention. Magnificent creatures in the deep waters. One would never know, if it weren't for people like yourselves. Thank you for doing what you do and sharing. 😊✌🏼
What an incredible dive, so many fascinating creature and the Bobbit Worm was absolutely incredible, a fantastic hunt to film.
That cuddlefish cuddled with you bro. Incredible.
Sees a deepsea carnivore: Lets poke it with a stick.
Wow, amazing dive. The friendly cuttlefish was the best but the bobbit worm was terrifying.
Really nice job! My favorite part was the cuttlefish. He's got a face that only a mother could love!
I love the way the bobtail squid just smacked your hand and flailed around like a toddler who was startled😂
Now lets see the duel between bobbit worm and mantis shrimp
Bobbit worm: *chilling* Mantis: *drowning* or, forgetting the water, Mantis: *pokes* Bobbit worm: *blur* Mantis: *g o n e*
@@vduffy6879 It says mantis shrimp, not mantis.
Incredible footage through and through. Kids enjoyed it as well. Thanks!
He was having a Disney princess moment with the cuttlefish! Cute!
More dives like this would be great! Loved the Bobbit worm. " Graboids"!!
Honestly all I can pay attention is the amount of life in that water. All those tiny things swimming around. It’s incredible
That interaction with the Cuttlefish was breathtaking. It was as if it was trying to communicate with you. You can see how intelligent they are. The guy that makes animals robots John Downer Productions made a Spy Cuttlefish showing how intelligent they are,
Bobbit Worms would give even the Alien a run for its money. The ultimate nightmare fuel.
Those cuttle fish are so cool! One of the few salt water pets I’ve never had but definitely one of the coolest and probably one of the smartest
your moment with the cuttlefish hit my heart bro, bless you dude, amazing experience
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@BraveWildernessaw I want brave crew 😭
Cuttlefish are incredibly smart! I worked for Marineland of the Pacific about 40 years ago. I would spend my lunch break in the room with the quarantine tanks that held the new arrivals. One day, there was a tank with about a dozen cuttlefish. One brave little cuttlefish came to the glass to get a better look at me. I began to play with him, and he played back with me through the glass. Sweetest & smartest ocean creature.
diving in the dark seems scary AF
