Giant Deep Sea Spiders in Antartica

[IggyHazard]

I don't understand how these creatures are "creepy" unless people mean that literally (referring to the way the sea spider moves).

[akatsukigirl02]

[arhernan2008]

damn nature, you scary

[thexwollf]

[Ezappy1]

Slender-man?

[CasyCatastrophe]

I like the way that they gracefully flutter in the water

[Davesothoth]

There was not a single sea spider in the entire video. All I saw was a few crinoids...

[NoathanOthing]

theres a shapeshifting shadow-orb that comes up at :22 and ... well.. more than likely implants into the camera man right after :24.

[Vire70]

a) They don't look that big

b) Those sure as fuck are not spiders

[MartialAerts]

@Vire70

a) They are relatively big, sometimes with a leg-span upwards to a meter.

b) True. They are sea spiders.

[bkekss]

[stacsery]

[SanRafaelSwell]

I saw lots of crinoids but no sea spiders.

[hwildey]

Those are not sea spiders, they are crinoids, and ancient relative of sea stars, sea urchins, sand dollars, sea cucumbers...This is really cool footage

[brybry19871987]

Regular Spider bite = Spiderman.  Sea Spider bite = Aquaman. And now we know..

Mankind's salvation lies in the deep oceans...

[montsyblackmadonna]

This video is of the devil.

[Lugialuver]

OH MY GOD-

Spiders really are everywhere. oAo

[crunk601]

Imagine walking down a dark alley and seeing 4-5 of these things hovering about 6 ft above the ground coming at you....ARRRRRGGGGH!!!!! RUN!!! Those damn things look like they will leave a nasty jellyfish-like rash on you. you know they have a defense mechanism to float around like the badasses of the deep sea like that..lol

[crunk601]

Amazing video. I watch this all the time. it's just amazing to see all the creatures God created.

[Jinkun2702]

How the hell is that a spider? I don't see any arachnid morphology there.

[sasuke8050]

way to many legs

[tehguyyouknow]

i wonder if its cold down there =O

[brianne002]

AVATAR!!!

HEHEHEHEHE....

[hijackednation]

[w33ddr3am]

looks like that thing from avatr :O

[OuterStryke]

sea angel

[crunk601]

catch one and bring it to the surface

[OlCapitain]

@crunk601 Can't, not that it is impossible, but as with most animals that far below the ocean, it would probably kill it because it is so use to the tons of water sitting on top of it ever minute of the day. Very much the same as if you were to be thrown to the bottom of the sea where they are you would implode due to the enourmous pressure on top of you and your body isn't made to handle that much pressure.

[yummypieProductions]

Whoa, that's amazing.

[LADYTRUTHFULLEY]

Its Pretty ^_^

[BuscettiByGianna]

I want one

[goodstuffbunny]

i am assuming that they feed on pollution?

[ncshuriken]

Aren't these creatures made up of colonies of tiny organisms to make one whole animal? I forgot the scientific name of that type of creature (I hate it when that happens), but they're in the same family as the 'by the wind sailor'

They look really graceful and beautiful, the movement is almost hypnotic.

[Paradoxmagic]

@ncshuriken Not these you are thinking of coral I would imagine

[Skycrusher]

I came at some point between 0:10 and 1:03, not sure how many times either.

[ParraKoopa]

[josephmsz]

[YanusDV]

[Zstorm11]

[akatsukidragon23]

[soomaru]

i'd say those are crinoids

[deathsminion25]

Those are a type of starfish.

[mike1964180]

I think James Cameron saw them and stuck them in avatar.

[PoutyLoki1]

Could that camera possibly be more obstructive and noisy??Hope some aliens dont come someday and decide to get a look at us with a camera mounted with chains and a big spotlight. Imagine THAT chasing you down the street!

[gregorybleach9]

@PoutyLoki1 I would mistake it for a big daddy and run like hell lol

[666KillerXxX]

@PoutyLoki1 I'd be busting out luaghing.

[TheHevquip]

@PoutyLoki1 lulz.

"you ever get that feeling we're being watched and listened in on?"

"no. why?"

"well there's that large floating disc in the sky that keeps following us around with a 100 ft boom sticking out that has a mic and camera attached. at least that's what i think it is, can't really tell because they keep pointing that damn spotlight in my eyes."

"what'd you say? i couldn't hear over all the noise that thing keeps making."

[PoutyLoki1]

@TheHevquip LOL!

[paranoid0control]

@PoutyLoki1 the difference is that sea spiders don't give a shit

[SpritzTR]

@PoutyLoki1 LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

[majictoast]

@PoutyLoki1 LOL!!!!!!!

[fast2epic2dead]

@PoutyLoki1 lol war of the worlds style. whicked little thng tho isnt it

[attomal]

@PoutyLoki1 LMFAO

[Mihkellt]

@PoutyLoki1 HAHAHAHAAA made my day !! :D

[POKIUNA]

@PoutyLoki1 being in the deep sea they need really heavy machinery to be there, the presure is unbelievable , so hard it can literaly crush a foam cup , that's why there's so much noise , have machinery= a loott of noise

[ZingzongPowers]

@POKIUNA literally crush a FOAM CUP!? why, that's the hardest substance known to man! i heard that you can only cut one foam cup with a bigger foam cup.

[POKIUNA]

@ZingzongPowers i know is freaky!!! , u can see it in the show mutant planet in the science channel, freaking cool, totally recommend it !

and is not that crushes it, BUT IS SHRINKS IT like putting it in the microwave!!!

the episode i saw this it was obviously about the bottom of the sea, don't remember the name, but if i can get the video i'll send it up :) !

[POKIUNA]

@ZingzongPowers asshole that was not for u, and it shrinks it u stupid asshole, how r u going to shrink a foam cup without heat huh? stupid imbecil

[iiDontKnowlol]

DUDE! there is more than 8 legs?

[ftroman]

Sea spider is just the common name for the Pantopoda. They can have anywhere from 4 to 6 pairs of legs. They're a chelicerate as mentioned somewhere below.

[DJDavverMusic]

go ahead, drag your fucking camera all over the sea bed and destroy all the life forms on its way.

but interesting stuff.

[moneyquickeasy]

Asinine enviormentalist.

[umagaisloser]

ds is so FUCKING stupid

[beanaldo]

they arent spiders

[tylerthe47]

i didnt see any spiders i just saw a dumbass post a dumb video of some stupid see creature

[dashinch]

dude they run shit down there

[Deutsch187]

i like docus like this.

[puckeylut]

They are chelicerates, not arachnids but they are closer in relation to spiders than to insects or crustaceans.

[tyber32]

They are arachnids...

[axsax32837]

Yo man WTF does tentacles scared me !

-a nigger

[Politicalupheaval]

Are they actually arachnids

[PAULLONDEN]

I don't think so..more like the jellyfish

or anamone family

[PurpleParrot93]

agreed

[liquidgypsy420]

Very co0l!

[darkzero02]

beutifull way of swimming.

[moorej30]

they're the spirit seeds from Pandora!

[l3umblexl3ee]

@moorej30 haha Avatar reference....

[AlixIgnasi]

Their way of movement is astounding and mesmerizing.

[geckoguy911]

it reminds me of bioshock

[andymcdivitt]

lol the things from avatar?

[LukkiTheLucker]

yes they really exist

[LowLife187]

is this shit smokable ?

[love4ferrets]

Beautiful(:

[rockingroisin]

No their not spiders. I was gonna count their legs but there are just too many. My maths ain't that bad though, I know they didn't have eight.

[1994chrisr]

dude, you don't need to count the legs to see that they're not spiders, THEY'RE UNDER THE WATER!

[mrstone56]

I'm sorry, but are you retarded?

There are spiders that live in the sea.

[imh11621]

i'm sure they appreciate being run over by that camera.

[starshock01]

there all prolly like...wtf..why is there light down here?

[milovan1971]

That's not a spider, neither other arthropod! It's a crinoid or feather-star, closely related to starfish, urchins and other echinoderms.

[024reredrum]

Are they poisonous?

[DaveIsParamount]

@milovan1971 it is merely being called a sea spider, not actually implying that it IS a spider....

[milovan1971]

@DaveIsParamount .... But the animals that the people call "sea spiders" are Pycnogonids or Pantopoda, that are arthropods with chelicerae, related to arachnids!! There is no "sea spider" at all in this video.

[paranoid0control]

@milovan1971 commonly called sea spiders, even being known for not being spiders, that's just the name

[WolfieTed]

@milovan1971 Yep spot on mate. We get loads of them here in Moalboal Philippines. Great fun to play with!

[ellert3]

@milovan1971 WHATEVER YOU JUST SAID MIGHT BE A PILE OF SHIT, BUT IT SOUNDS SO INTELIGENT THAT HALF THE PPL WHO VOTED ON YOU COMMENT JUST AGREED FOR THAT RESON.

[mrskaxxagenn]

@ellert3

I must agree with milovan1971.. that is indeed a feather star ... just watch any video on feather stars .. and maybe you will realise it ..

[TheKaniq94]

o.O

this looks like a mutant flower xD

[coreyhasgas]

looks like a mutated squid

[23spacecase]

wtf

[ohanungsaya]

these are no spiders. these are in the family of starfish.

[LatiosRULES122]

these are water spiders
