00:00Today, I'm going to simulate what it would actually be like to raise something known only as the sea eater,
00:06as a pet.
00:07And I don't just mean keeping it alive in a tank for a few days.
00:10I want to see what would happen if I raised it from a microscopic, barely visible organism all the way
00:17to a full-scale ocean entity.
00:19The kind of thing people don't even agree exists, because if it did, it wouldn't just hunt in the ocean,
00:25it would consume it.
00:26And yeah, that sounds impossible, because right now, this is baby sea eater.
00:32At this stage, it doesn't even look alive.
00:34There's no clear shape, no defined body, no eyes, no face.
00:38Just a faint distortion in the water, like heat waves, but underwater.
00:42If I didn't know it was there, I probably wouldn't even notice it.
00:45But then, you look closer, and you see something wrong.
00:49When particles drift near it, they don't pass through.
00:52They slow down, then disappear.
00:54Not eaten, not broken apart, just gone.
00:57And sometimes, very briefly, a circular opening forms inside that distortion, like the water itself is stretching open, and then
01:06snapping shut.
01:07That is its mouth.
01:08If I'm actually going to raise this thing, I need answers fast.
01:12First, what kind of habitat can even contain something that doesn't fully exist in a solid form?
01:18Second, what do you feed something that doesn't seem to physically consume anything?
01:22And third, how fast does something grow when it doesn't follow any known biological rules?
01:28Because even at this stage, there are already warning signs.
01:32It reacts instantly to motion.
01:34It doesn't explore.
01:35It absorbs.
01:36And the longer it stays in one place, the more the water around it feels unstable.
01:41So, I built the most controlled environment I could.
01:44A sealed, cold, saltwater tank.
01:46Minimal light.
01:47Low turbulence.
01:48Basically, as close as possible to deep ocean conditions.
01:52At first, nothing happened.
01:53It just hovered there.
01:55Barely visible.
01:55But after a few hours, I noticed something strange.
01:58The water level was slightly lower.
02:01Not enough to panic, but enough to notice.
02:03So, I checked for leaks.
02:05Nothing.
02:05Checked evaporation rates.
02:07Normal.
02:07But over time, the level kept dropping.
02:09Slowly.
02:10Consistently.
02:11As if something inside the tank was removing it.
02:14So, I began feeding tests.
02:16Plankton.
02:17Microorganisms.
02:18Tiny shrimp.
02:19At first, no visible reaction.
02:21No movement.
02:22No feeding behavior.
02:23But when I checked later, everything I added was gone.
02:26No debris.
02:27No waste.
02:28No trace.
02:29So, I pushed further.
02:31Small fish.
02:32And that's when I finally saw it clearly.
02:34As a fish drifted close, the distortion expanded.
02:38Not outward, but inward.
02:40Like a hole forming in reality itself.
02:42And in a split second, the fish didn't get pulled in.
02:45It just stopped existing.
02:47Then, it started growing.
02:49But not in a normal way.
02:51It didn't just get bigger.
02:52It got heavier.
02:53Denser.
02:54The entire tank began to feel different.
02:56Water movement slowed.
02:58Sound changed.
02:59Even the light inside looked dimmer.
03:02As if something was absorbing more than just matter.
03:05And within weeks, the tank wasn't enough.
03:07Not because it physically outgrew it, but because the environment itself was becoming unstable.
03:13So, I moved it to a massive saltwater pool.
03:16And that's when everything escalated.
03:18At first glance, it still looked empty.
03:20But then, you noticed the surface.
03:22The water wasn't flat anymore.
03:24It dipped slightly inward, toward a central point.
03:27Like a slow, constant drain.
03:30Anything placed in the water.
03:31Objects, fish, debris, would slowly drift toward that center.
03:36Not fast, but unstoppable.
03:37And once they reached it, they vanished instantly.
03:41No splash.
03:42No sound.
03:43Just gone.
03:44That's when I realized something terrifying.
03:46This wasn't a predator.
03:48It didn't hunt.
03:49It didn't chase.
03:50It didn't need to.
03:51Its entire existence was consumption.
03:54It didn't just eat prey.
03:55It erased it.
03:56And the bigger it got, the more everything around it began to disappear.
04:01At that point, there was no containing it.
04:03No structure strong enough.
04:05No space large enough.
04:06Keeping it here wasn't just dangerous.
04:08It was impossible.
04:09So I made the only decision left.
04:12I released it.
04:13Into the open ocean.
04:15And that's when it became something else entirely.
04:18From above, you could finally see its true scale.
04:21A massive distortion beneath the surface, stretching across huge sections of ocean.
04:26Ships avoided the area.
04:28Marine life vanished.
04:29Even the water color looked different.
04:31Darker.
04:32Deeper.
04:32Wrong.
04:33It wasn't just living in the ocean anymore.
04:35It was changing it.
04:37So I tracked it from a helicopter, watching from a safe distance.
04:40Or at least, what I thought was safe.
04:43Until the surface below me started to shift.
04:46Slowly.
04:46Deliberately.
04:47Like something massive was turning.
04:50And then, that distortion aligned perfectly with me.
04:54I thought I was raising a creature.
04:56But I wasn't.
04:57I was feeding something that doesn't just live in the ocean.
05:00It consumes it.
