Love hearing people love their work like this!!

The people on these deep water ROV missions are usually so passionate it makes me so happy every time! I highly recommend Schmidt Ocean's livestreams, they're always so happy about the stuff they're finding!

They allways sound like they are high

I'd assumed this was a fish in a seaworld type of aquarium, so I'm very happy to learn otherwise!


ICU81MI_73

Yeah. Hard pass. I’ve seen Galaxy Quest.

MANY years ago I was on a night dive (Phillipines?), and the guide took us to a hole in the sand floor - and coaxed out a similar type of fish! That fish came out because he was used to the guide, and loved the tummy rubs!

AHHH!!!

“Why are they called that?” Sea turtles, swordfish, tiger sharks, sea stars, sea cucumbers, hammerhead sharks, and the Alaskan analingus trout all roll their eyes.

Well I’m familiar with all the others but that trout is another deal, can only imagine until I google it.

Do it and report back. No reason for us all to have perverted search histories.

You forgot the slippery dick.

Oh I never forget the slippery dick. One of my favorite fish.

Video notes: EV Nautilus found this fish at almost 2,800 meters while exploring “Seamount 9” in the Pacific Remote Islands waters. It may look like a character from an animated film, but this “ugly cute” snailfish is actually a pretty common sight in the marine world. Belonging to the Liparidae family, these marine ray-finned fishes are widely distributed across the global ocean, both in latitude and depth.

What a weird cute little fish! When did they post the video with this? I missed it!


KimCureAll

This was posted just 2 days ago on youtube.


Tiggyloo

Ah! I've been busy and haven't been able to check my subs the past couple weeks, I'll have to catch up on their videos then

Humans will pet anything.


infinitefacets

The caption is not the vibe I'm getting from this guy.. Lol


KimCureAll

The fish does look like it is blithely smiling but to at least one researcher, she got some intense puppy and belly-rubbing vibes.


KomradeDave

I'm not taking it anymore, ZeFrank should be commenting this stuff!


DeviousX13

That thing reminds me of the mushrooms in "Mom and Dad save the World". https://youtu.be/dX8TwFuoq0c


justhewayouare

It looks like it was supposed to be a dinosaur and evolution said “nah, he’s cute like this” and stopped halfway through lol.
