Oh, nice little squid.
Wow.
No way.
Oh, buddy!
Wild Kingdom, here.
Did that really happen?
This was a deliberate predatory act.
That was really just -- wow.
So was that a brittle star -- or a brutal star?
It was a brutal brittle star.
Looks like his buddy is saying, hey, wants to share that. Not so fast.
Wow.
They're gonna fight over it now.
That's remarkable. So, we were saying earlier that the brittle stars are scavengers,
they pretty much feed on whatever they can get.
But I never expected to see them grab a squid out of the water column.
I mean, this is not something you see everyday. No, it is not. Or in my entire career.
These are the kinds of behaviors that you would never see in a textbook.
And it really takes getting down there and watching these organisms to see these kinds of interactions.
Extremely surprising.
I mean, that's a once in a lifetime thing.
We all share your incredulity.
Wow. Yep.
