Polychaete worms are common in the ocean. These worms have segmented bodies with paddle-like feet or parapodia on each segment. Most have bristles, or chaetae, that they use for defense, crawling, or swimming. Approximately 8,000 species have been described so far, but many new species are still being discovered. Some of the most beautiful and amazing polychaetes can be found in the midwater.

@erinjoyce5531 7 лет назад

whenever you feel bad about your own life, just remember there are worms out there that survive by catching falling poop in a net of their own snot, which they then eat.

This world is a beautiful place. Thank you for sharing this with us and showing us a world that many of us will never get the chance to explore.

1:13 those totally sound like pokemons. they could even be evolutions of the same, haha.

Flota & Swima :D perfect for animation series. what an amazing creatures! I can watch forever on how they swim..

@Frisby2007 8 лет назад

I'm having a ball with your guys' videos. I major in art & design, & I kept a minor in zoology. All this stuff just fascinates me from you guys. Most people I knew didn't give a rats ass about the stranger animals I mentioned, they mostly cared about the generic stuff.

@EATSFALCONPUNCH 9 лет назад

it's incredible how little we know about our depths, and this is just in Monterrey Bay. I know I speak for all of your subscribers when I say how grateful I am we have you to enlighten us

"Doctor, we just discovered two new species of deep-sea polycheate worms. The names we've given them are (extremely complex binomial name) and (extremely complex binomial name). What do you think?" "Those are terrible names and to be honest who'll remember them. One floats, one swims, right? Let's call them Flota and Swima." "You're not wrong..."

@imkabochan 8 лет назад

Wow, this is awesome. Thank you guys for bringing this type of content to the internet. It's because of you that I discovered that I actually find this strange creatures kinda cute and artistic.

@AaronShumaker 7 лет назад

Years ago on PBS, I saw a video of what I think were early deep sea expiditions in the Johnson research submarine. They came upon this large worm corkscrewing, but as they get closer it dissolved into dust. Assumingly some sort of colony of organisms that had formed the worm. Wondering if you are familiar with this footage.

@johnwalters1341 5 лет назад

Nice video: One clarification: earthworms aren't polychaetes; they belong to a different class, Oligochaeta.

Hi there! What a wonderful video. :-) I am a filmmaker, and I'd like to use a few of the shots in this film for a film about mental health. I'd like to use two shots in a montage about the beauty of the natural world. Do you own this footage, and if not, can you tell me who does so that I can reach out to them? Thank you so much 🙂

@LeaD2000 7 лет назад

Skellysword Wow you just gave me a great idea for a story! Imagine an alternate natural history universe where our Earth's skies are inhabited by these little creatures, floating and swimming in the air... At night when its dark you would see these celestial centipedes floating around you like living constellations... What a beautiful sight....

@Rhinogradentian 7 лет назад

I need to know this too.

@MBARIvideo 7 лет назад

That is the polychaete worm Travisiopsis dsg.mbari.org/dsg/view/concept/Travisiopsis

@Rhinogradentian 7 лет назад

Thank you so much. I sincerely think that if fish became extinct, worms could do the job of baitfish and anchovies and things.

@Comments.section 2 года назад

I think I saw a tomopteris at the beach, he kept on following me wherever I went. I was wondering if I hit him or his nest accidentally while swimming and he held a grudge. But he had his end toward me or I thought that was his end which is spiky kinda looking one. That was creepy. I keep shooing him and changing swimming spots but he kept on coming. It was about 7-10 cm with a feathery looking body, thinnner on one end. Field as he had spikey end but not sure. Kept on coming...

@Nick-hq7kl 3 года назад

0:40 isn't the worm Chaetognatha instead of Polychaete?

@MBARIvideo 3 года назад

Actually, it is a polychaete! Apparently, they are trying to look like chaetognaths! It is a Typhloscolid worm called Travisiopsis: dsg.mbari.org/dsg/view/concept/Travisiopsis

@Nick-hq7kl 3 года назад

@@MBARIvideo Thanks！！！

@aronchai 8 лет назад

What's the fishlike species at 0:40?

@MBARIvideo 8 лет назад

aronchai That is a polychaete worm from the Family Typhloscolecidae (genus: Travisiopsis).

@aronchai 8 лет назад

@guillaumebalavoine2975 8 лет назад

MBARI I'm a student at a school where we study animals and learn about them 2. I wonder if I can talk to you somehow about having my work experience with you. I think the sea is awesome and have followed your channel half a year now, and I it wild make me so happy if I could have my work experience at the MBARI.

what is the species of worm at 1:03

@gavindyer2256 7 лет назад

and the little jellyfish things next to the worm at 0:27

@MBARIvideo 7 лет назад

That is an alciopid worm at 1:03.

@MBARIvideo 7 лет назад

That is another type of alciopid worm (Rynchonereella sp) at 0:27 and the round thing to the left of it is a larvacean. Larvaceans are are a type of pelagic tunicate. The two jellies swimming by are narcomedusae (Aegina sp.).

@JoXolah 9 лет назад

The animal itself is wonderfully diverse but at the very beginning the narrator say 'you probably think of the creepy crawly ones'. Absolutely no person involved with any form of public science, whether or not they have a hand in the science itself or not, should use the terms creepy when describing Oligochaeta. They've undergone very little evolution because their the very good at what they do. If anything, humans should be the only creatures to attach the word creepy to.

@Baddaby 9 лет назад

Jo' Xolah Just a correction, actually they have undergone "a lot of" evolution, if what you mean are changes along time. They're very derived on the annelida tree. The most accepted theory today actually says they came from within the polychaete group, coming from a marine animal to a terrestrial form gradually.
