Red Devil Squid BITES diver | Deadly 60 | Earth Unplugged 

*Humans:* Squids looks like aliens. *Squid:* "One time, some aliens in space suits came down from above and examined me! I swear!"

"That really is a sea monster if ever I saw one" Squid is thinking the same thing.

"The squid seems calm" The squid: ❗❕❗❕❗❕❗❕❗

"Here's that crushing beak." "Yeah, let me show you how it works."

*squid literally starts flashing red* "even though the squid seems calm...."

Diver: "This squid seems calm." Squid: *angrily flashing red*

"You've gotta be careful when it comes to these creatures " Its not like I'm gonna travel all the way down there just to find it....

Going from "agh, it bit me!" to "that is the most beautiful creature i've ever seen" in nearly the same breath is just so British.

squid: *almost rips his arm off* diver: ABSOLUTELY AMAZING

The fact that he's in the ocean and everything is pitch black is scary.

"Even though it seems calm" as its blinking red LOL

This creatures are never alone. If suddenly 20 come out of the darkness, you don't stand a chance anymore. Then it goes down

Imagine being alone that deep and knowing they exist. I would never want to experience that level of fear.

I watched this video muted and it just looks like two dudes harrassing a squid

*ANGERLY STROBES COLORS* "It may look calm"

These guys have balls of steel. Swimming that deep, in the dark, with giant, predatory, and probably hungry squid swimming around is a whole new level of courage

When a former professor of mine and his team went to study those cuties during the 90's, one of his colleagues got attacked and pulled further down by four of them simultaniously. He saved himself by reacting quickly and releasing compressed air right at them, which scared them off. In 2009 this guy got invited by my professor to tell us about his experiences as a marine biologist and he showed us his left lower arm, where he got injured the worst. That squid actually bit such a huge junk out of his arm that the doctors had to replace it with a piece from his calf. As someone who's slightly thalassophobic, that's pretty much the worst situation I could think of. On the other hand, being able to show the scars you got from an underwater fistfight against a bunch of man-eating squids is probably worth the risk. :

I love how right after he's bitten and obviously in pain he just expresses wonder and awe for the animal :)

Diver: "It bit me, IT BIT ME!" Diver: "Absolutely beautiful!" Squid: "Ergh, gross!"

“Wow, a Humbolt Squid!” Diver “Wow, breakfast!” The Humbolt

"Even though the squid seems calm" In whose body language does that look calm??

I don't think people can appreciate how unimaginably cold it is at those depths and how much commitment this dive team and Steve have for Deadly 60

The squid look really calm. Squid : *constantly changing colour as warning*

For being a wild squid it is really quite tolerant and gentle. If it wanted to bite, he'd have been quite a bit more in pain I'd think. And at no point did the squid ink or try to rush them. Really beautiful.

"Harasses squid minding it's own business" :o it bit me!

when you think about it, if the roles were reversed and that squid climbed out of the ocean, into your front lawn and started poking and prodding you, you'd probably do a lot more than pinch it.

"it looks quite calm" //squid is literally flashing panic signals with it's skin//

"Even though this squid seems calm..." It doesn't seem calm to me. It seems clearly agitated lol

well. if i were a squid and a random human decided to grab me and not let go. id freaking bite him too!

Diver: *keeps annoying squid* Squid: *bites* Diver: *surprised Pikachu meme*

That diver clearly never played video games before. When a boss starts flashing red, you know it gets more aggressive.

the fact that there are no other dicernable humbolt's within sight is giving me so much anxiety since they hunt in the thousand's

I've never seen live commentary from a diver before. It's pretty raw to get the immediate reaction from someone getting bit by a huge squid.

Diver: *explains the dangers of this squid* Also diver: *proceeds to harass and touch it and provokes it to attack him*

I have a friend that got a job diving under the boats and scrapping off the barnacles. He only lasted a week. He said that the job itself was easy but the environment was just too spooky. Being under the boat is dark and you don’t see below your legs. He kept on thinking of sharks coming from the bottom and attacking.

"It's really pinching my arm!". Continues to harass the squid.

Diver: look how pissed off this squid is let me get him more pissed off.

I was a military diver and your trained to focus on the mission, but it’s very unnerving when you feel the wake from something large swimming by you and you can’t see it.

Not afraid of much, but the thought of night swimming in the ocean terrifies me.

He's lucky the squid didn't call for its buddies. Humboldt squid usually hunt in packs and they would make quick work of these two. It's chilling the way it didn't jet-propel away but slowly backed off and gave them an analytical stare like a true, cold-blooded predator.

Squid: skin starts pulsating red Man: the squid is calm Squid: starts trying to eat man

Scariest thing about this video is the other diver constantly looking around checking the surroundings

“He looks quite calm.” *Next Breathe* “ARRGGGHHHHHH”

"This squid is calm" The squid: Flashing red and biting

So this is why Squidward hates his life...

What if the squid calls for backup (kraken)

“Don’t touch me there man..” *touches squid again.* “I said stop, I’m gonna dO IT.” *touches him on the mouth* *does a BIG BOI CHOMP*

“Even though it seems calm” it was literally blinking red like a npc.

"Detecting multiple leviathan class lifeforms in the region. Are you certain whatever you're doing is worth it?"

Octopus, big smart nerds Squid, big meanies, will fight you Cuttlefish, teeny tiny lil friendly dudes Nautilus, slow little old men

The ocean is essentially like being in outer space, except with a ton of creatures that can eat you or attack you at any second. I’m a certified PADI scuba diver as well and I still feel this way

If I've learned anything in life..."you play stupid games with orifices, you win stupid prizes."

0:24 “bring me that squid” “But sir” “Bring me that squid!”

1:42 "Im gonna release him now......." Yeah watch it come back right out of the darkness cause you pissed it off!

That's a really big alpha. I never thought there was a pecking order among the Humboldts until I was sourounded by several dozen very big boys and one super monstrous alpha squid. The other squid seemed to cue in on the alphas behavior. They hung back away from me not approaching but still zipping about the water a measured distance behind the alpha. When he suddenly charged forward to investigate me every one of the others charged at me too. I pissed my suit instantly and had to pinch my ass cheeks together to stop from shitting myself too. But the big alpha swam around me almost gently, probing my body with his tentacles but not aggressively. The other squid likewise remained non aggressive. However, every now and then one of the other squid would get aggressive or impatient or whatever and charge at me ready to seemingly attack my ass. But when they did the big squid would bluff charge them and trigger a dog pile by the many other squid on the aggressor almost as if they were getting punished for poor behavior. I'll NEVER forget that day. I was terrified. I don't think I'll ever dive that area again. The squid just seemed way too intelligent and the pack mentality was scary and very evident. Once the super big alpha squid swam away all the other squid followed its lead and disappeared along with it into the inky black depths. I was never so relieved in all my life!

Im sure much bigger more dangerous animals were lurking in those dark depths. The fact you can't see them is scary as hell

lol the red and white flashing is so funny its like an alarm signal, i can imagine in its head its going " WEEEE WOO! WEE WOO!"

Diver: It seems calm. Squid: 🚨 RED ALERT! 🚨 RED ALERT! 🚨

"This squid looks calm" ... WOT

The squid is literally screaming "I DON'T LIKE THIS LET GO OF ME RIGHT NOW!" by flashing those colors. Which is understandable since they've essentially got it by shoving fingers in what passes for its nose. No wonder it's scared and angry.

“You gotta be careful with its beak.” *continues to wear it like a watch*

This is why i carry a .45 under water...

"it's actually AGGHH , GODDAMN ... AAGGHHH!!!" what did he think was going to happen ?!?! 🤣😂🤣😂

Squid: Flashes his color as a warning sign Commentator: The squid seems calm Diver: Aaaaaah it bit me!

"That really is one of weirdest, most beautiful creatures I've ever seen... and it absolutely hates me!" 😂

These creatures are intelligent, if you ever encounter one (unlikely) remember to show respect and give them their space.

0:40 "even though this squid seems calm..." are you kidding?? Being gripped by a being it's probably never seen before, pulsating different colours, bright light shinning in its face! Yeh totally cool

In the late 90's I was night diving off a boat in San Diego, and we were there for the Opalescent squid. During the surface interval between dives the captain told us he was going to move. Another boat a 1/2 mile away had radioed and told him they had spotted Humboldt near them. We moved down the coast to another site so we wouldn't run the risk of having Humboldt come in on us. None of us wanted to get tangled up with them.

One of the great mysteries of life is how Steve Backshall STILL hasn’t been killed by any of the dangerous predators he’s made a career out of pestering 🤣

Squid, moving around violently, FLASHING RED. And the narrator says "even though the squid seems calm" hahaha

That squid didnt look calm, it looked like it was trying to get away from this strange creature not letting it go.

Imagine being one of like 100 human beings on earth who can say they know specifically how it feels to get bit by a Red Devil squid

Encountered these on a night dive 10 years ago. Scarier than a shark in my humble opinion.

"I know the creature seems calm..." you know the fact that its pulsating red, I dont believe you.

They should have cooked it after to show it who's the higher on the food chain

The scary part is that this is so much smaller than a lot of unseen ocean creatures! There’s always a bigger fish.

Someone give the pope his hat back

"That really is a sea monster!" that's what the squid thought

They're holding it captive and it's flashing red (a color usually representing ANGER). What did they expect?

Narrator: the squid might look calm Squid: *hazard lights*

“The squid seems calm.” It’s literally flashing red like an enraged World of Warcraft boss

The flashing Red means it's angry and warning you to back off. You're lucky it didn't just grab on and pull down like they've been known to do.

0:52 I like that even after the squid hit him he still went on about how amazing the squid was

Squid: "Man, stop it- STOP TOUCHING ME ❗❕❗❕❗" (bite) "LET ME GO"

Imagine his arm getting ripped to shreds and the diver be like: "look at the blood gushing there!"

The fact that they are usually in packs of hundreds is whats scary. They know to drag things down. They live at a certain depth but sometimes water changes force the swarms up to the surface

"The squid seems calm!" The squid bites, calmly.

"The squid appears calm" ...flashing red and tangling on the diver.

A diver legit _had his hand bitten off_ by one of these things. They are absolutely ferally hostile, & gnarly-strong. They hunt like wolves, & they chew on freaking sharks for fun. Even in literal armour, this guy is braver than I'd be.

0:59 “it bit my arm through the suit” * continues to hold the squid

Squid: tries to get away in distress and start pulsating red Narrator: even though this squid seems calm, you can never be too careful....

"Even though the squid looked calm..." Me: I literally can hear it say "Get off me!"

*flashing red rapidly as a warning* "You can see that the squid is quite calm..."

Sound like he wanted to cry when he said "it really pinched my arm" 😂😂😂

the deep ocean shark smelling his drop of blood from afar: 😊*

Molesting a Humboldt squid. What could possibly go wrong?

The animal just seemed to be mildly annoyed ,didn't struggle that much and swimed away without any haste when released. Interesting interaction.

That’s terrifying. But also, I’ve eaten enough squids in my life that if one wanted to eat me I think that’d be fair turnabout.

What do you expect from a big living underwater carnivore.

0:31 right at this point you can see the squid flashing color in distress
