Captured on video by the Schmidt Ocean Institute’s remotely operated submersible SuBastian, this is the first ever video of a colossal squid (Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni) in its natural habitat. The juvenile squid was filmed at a depth of 600m in the South Sandwich Islands (I love sandwiches) about 1,100 miles northeast
A partnership between Anchorage Solid Waste Services and the Alaska Zoo, this is a video of a group of Kodiak bears testing the bear-resistance of a new trash can. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the cans stand little chance against the massive 700+ pound bears. These aren’t those bears in the commercials that

These are several videos of unique hobbyist Brighton Denevan, who rakes the lyrics to songs in the sand at the beach while his drone captures the footage from above, then syncs the timelapse videos so the appearance of the lyrics coincide with the songs. All while the tide comes in
These are a couple videos from Hormuz Island off the coast of Iran in the Persian Gulf, where heavy rainfall causes the iron ochre-rich soil and sand (the result of ancient volcanic activity) to ‘bleed’ into the sea. Mother Nature, am I right? “What about her?” Totally nuts. Now —
