00:00:07.006 --> 00:00:08.020
Oh, nice little squid.

00:00:23.500 --> 00:00:24.890
Wow.

00:00:25.090 --> 00:00:26.700
No way.

00:00:28.053 --> 00:00:29.280
Oh, buddy!

00:00:34.057 --> 00:00:34.810
Wild Kingdom, here.

00:00:36.105 --> 00:00:36.870
Did that really happen?

00:00:37.780 --> 00:00:39.620
This was a deliberate predatory act.

00:00:39.820 --> 00:00:42.070
That was really just -- wow.

00:00:43.549 --> 00:00:46.180
So was that a brittle star -- or a brutal star?

00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:49.470
It was a brutal brittle star.

00:00:55.402 --> 00:00:59.400
Looks like his buddy is saying, hey, wants to share that. Not so fast.

00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:10.590
Wow.

00:01:10.790 --> 00:01:11.670
They're gonna fight over it now.

00:01:19.264 --> 00:01:22.750
That's remarkable. So, we were saying earlier that the brittle stars are scavengers,

00:01:22.950 --> 00:01:25.900
they pretty much feed on whatever they can get.

00:01:26.100 --> 00:01:30.720
But I never expected to see them grab a squid out of the water column.

00:01:36.177 --> 00:01:41.770
I mean, this is not something you see everyday. No, it is not. Or in my entire career.

00:01:43.129 --> 00:01:46.890
These are the kinds of behaviors that you would never see in a textbook.

00:01:47.090 --> 00:01:52.140
And it really takes getting down there and watching these organisms to see these kinds of interactions.

00:01:52.340 --> 00:01:54.400
Extremely surprising.

00:02:00.567 --> 00:02:02.200
I mean, that's a once in a lifetime thing.

00:02:02.914 --> 00:02:04.530
We all share your incredulity.

00:02:04.730 --> 00:02:06.660
Wow. Yep.
