00:00Did you know there's a vampire squid that can live without oxygen?
00:04This is the vampire squid, a living fossil that's been around for over 500 million years.
00:10And it's one of the only animals that can survive without oxygen.
00:15You heard that right. It doesn't need oxygen to survive.
00:19Most deep-sea creatures have to return to the surface to lay their eggs, but not the vampire squid.
00:26They make their eggs in the depths of the ocean, where there's no oxygen, and they do it by slowing their metabolism down to extremely low levels.
00:36This means they can go for months without moving or even eating.
00:40And when they finally do move, they move like this.
00:43It's like a zombie apocalypse, but with slow motion.
00:47These vampire squids are so creepy, yet so fascinating.
00:51If you want to learn more about them, stay tuned for more updates.
