SEA CREATRURES THAT WE HAD KNOW IDEA EVEN EXSITED

There is no denying that the ocean is a fascinating place. The ocean and space are two things we are surrounded by, but we know so little about them. Every time an explorer plunges into the ocean, they're likely to find new species or varieties of creature. But every now and then, something mysterious is washed up on a beach. These things show us the endless possibilities the ocean has to offer. Sit back and enjoy this video sharing some of the discoveries made in it. %tone%

Australian filmmaker Dave Riggs and his

crew were asked to tag an adult great

white shark along Australia's coast so

they could monitor its behavior one of

the first great whites they managed to

tag was a magnificent 9 foot long female

she was strong healthy and given the

name alpha for months later her tag was

washed up on a beach and was handed in

by somebody walking by after reviewing

the information from the tag the

researchers were left confused at what

had happened the data revealed that our

4 a.m. on the 24th of November 2003 the

shark suddenly plunged a high-speed 520

meters down the edge of a continental

shelf they also indicated a massive

change in temperature from 46 degrees to

78 degrees in seconds the only

explanation the researchers could give

was that alpha had been devoured by

another living creature and was deep

inside its belly during the recordings

the tag seemed to carry on recording

from within the Predators belly for a

further eight days before finally being

excreted and washed up on the beach so

what could possibly eat a nine foot long

healthy great white shark while there

have been many theories ranging from an

orca or a giant unknown sea creature

astonishingly it took 11 years before a

plausible theory was released

Dave Rick himself theorized the only

explanation could be that another even

larger cannibal great white shark was

responsible one that would have been

almost twice alpha size and weighed over

two tonnes making it one of the largest

great whites ever recorded the only

other explanation that was brought up is

that

tracker foul off alpha and was eaten by

another fish so what do you think

happened did the tracker simply fall off

and was eaten by a smaller fish that

thought it was bait or was alpha pulled

deep down in the ocean and eaten by an

enormous undiscovered predator

furry creature washes up on beach in

early 2015

a mysterious carcass of a creature was

found washed up on an island called

Sakhalin which is located along the east

coast of Russia the carcass was ripped

apart covered in blood had bones

protruding from its body and was unusual

in the fact that it had a long beak and

was around eleven feet in length

at first it was identified by experts to

be some kind of rare big dolphin species

but people argue that due to its fur and

large size this is an unlikely candidate

so what exactly was it well despite a

few theories there hasn't been any real

explanation it's unsure if DNA samples

were taken and if they were nothing has

been released how it ended up on the

beach in the first place is also a

mystery since the water around the area

is colder than most fish this size would

usually live in this led researchers to

think whatever it was may have been

brought in by warm current and died when

the water's cooled

not long after his discovery another

study was done by a group of scientists

who came to the conclusion that the

carcass could have been a whale kirb

possibly that of a beaked whale since

most whales and dolphins are born with

hair that they lose quickly this would

explain the fur but this would have

meant that if it was a beaked whale or

dolphin kirb it would have been a very

large one another theory is that it's

just a rare large dolphin and the hair

is degraded tissue fibers but more

interestingly some think that it's an

undiscovered sea creature which with its

size and the unexplored areas within the

ocean this liked all the theories

mentioned cannot be ruled out this next

mystery is actually another washed-up

creature now I was going to include this

thing which is called the Montauk

Monster that was found washed ashore a

beach in New York in 2008 but after

reading a lot about it although it

hasn't been fully identified it doesn't

seem like it came from the ocean whereas

this next one I'm going to talk about

most certainly isn't land-based there

isn't a whole lot of information on this

but it was found by a group of people in

2013 on New Zealand's Bay of Plenty

beach this area is known for having sea

creature carcasses washed up but this

one caused a little more mystery as it

was unlike anything previously seen its

body was 30 feet long and was mostly

buried under the sand but his head and a

large dorsal fin could be

which led a marine biologist to think

that it was most likely an orca because

of this distinctive fin but this

couldn't be 100% confirmed because of

its badly decomposed body some say that

since the jaw line even after

decomposition is so narrow though that

is definitely not an orca but it could

be an unknown species of whale or an

undiscovered creature the teeth do look

similar to that of a killer whale so who

knows what do you think was it an orca

some type of whale or a prehistoric

creature that we have yet to discover

the 52 Hertz whale this next mystery has

been around for a while and is actually

quite sad is the 52 Hertz whale often

called the loneliest whale in the ocean

is the story of an unidentified sound

that was recorded in the Pacific Ocean

in 1989 those thought to belong to a

solitary unidentified species that is

looking for a mate 52 Hertz is the

frequency of the sound which is much

higher than any other known whale call

the blue whale is usually ten to thirty

nine Hertz and a fin whale is around 20

Hertz making a 52 Hertz call out of the

ordinary its unsure if it's a male or

female or if it's even a whale but it's

definitely something and something that

sounds pretty big the sound has been

tracked every year by scientists since

it was first discovered and incredibly

the tone of the sound has deepened over

the years as it would with a regular

whale call take a listen

Oh

despite comprehensive monitoring and

searching nothing has been found and

nobody's sure what is creating the sound

there has been some speculation that is

a malformed blue whale or a mix of blue

whale and another species if it is the

sound of a whale then just think it

could be the call of an undiscovered

species as the last of his kind left in

the world unfortunately though all that

we are left with is the sound of this

incredible creature makes easily making

it one of the ocean's biggest mysteries

an interesting side note is that a

documentary about the search for the 52

Hertz whale is being released soon the

documentary was funded by Kickstarter

and Leonardo DiCaprio gave $50,000 to

help the campaign hit its target which

it did the team recently went out in

search for the whale and I believe they

are working on a documentary now which I

am super excited to see mysterious giant

shark in early 2000 scientists from

Japan conducted a study to learn more

about marine life in the Mariana Trench

now for those of you who are not

familiar with the Mariana Trench is

thought to be the deepest part of any of

the world's oceans and is located in the

western Pacific now its precise depth is

hazy but his thought the trench is about

6.8 miles deep at these depths is hard

to believe anything could survive but

surprisingly there are many fish and

living organisms down there which I will

talk more about in a documentary about

the Marianas Trench

anyway the Japanese scientist was

studying an area not far from the trench

called the surrogate a they had

submerged a container with special bait

at a depth of around one mile in hopes

of capturing on camera

whatever wanted to feed on it this is a

common way of videoing and identifying

new and existing sea creatures at first

the camera picked up a few small known

sea creatures followed by a shoal of

rare deep-sea sharks that measured 6

foot long

if this wasn't exciting enough for the

researchers the Sharks scattered quickly

and a huge creature came into view its

size cannot be justified on the video

footage but the researchers said it

would have been between 30 to 50 feet in

length

just know the Guinness world record for

the largest shark is 37 feet so if the

proportions the researchers are given

are correct this could be the largest

shark ever recorded take a look

scientists aren't exactly sure what type

of shark it is and people have said it

could be the long thought to be extinct

Megalodon the gigantic monster of the

sea that lived over two million years

ago and has labeled the largest most

powerful predator in history but another

theory is that the footage caught a very

large very rare Pacific sleeper shark

sleeper sharks can grow to lengths of 23

feet so even if it was a sleeper it

would have been the biggest and longest

of its kind to have ever been spotted so

those five mysterious sea creatures

don't forget this is only a fraction of

the creatures that must be out there

there is bound to be thousands of

undiscovered species swimming around

right now and there are also many

mythical creatures that people think

could exist but I'm saving those for

another day
