YouTube Transcript: Extract

Verified: delivered 3 times

How we rate this

Delivery health: healthy. Paid successes: 3. Paid failures: 0. Last successful delivery: 2026-10-18. Schema confidence: high.

Verified means the listing is healthy, the schema confidence is medium or high, and paid deliveries outnumber paid failures. Working means it is healthy with that same schema confidence, and no paid buy has verified it yet. Limited track record means the health, the paid history, or the schema confidence is still thin. Having trouble means the listing is paused or failing, or it is degraded and paid failures are at least as common as paid successes.

Here’s What Ate Them","channel":"BlackWater","duration":"unknown","format":"full","fullText":"In 2019, a team of scientists took three dead\nAmerican alligators out into the Gulf of Mexico. They attached waits to them,\nand then they dropped them nearly two kilometers below the surface,\nand then they left them there. Now, I spoke to Craig McClain,\nthe scientist who led the experiment, to find out\nwhat happened to these three alligators. But more importantly, why on earth\nthey decided to drop them into the deep sea in the first place. And despite how bizarre this experiment sounds, there was actually a very serious\nscientific reason for doing it. So the deep sea is very food limited. Most of the deep\nsea relies upon marine snow. It's like this fluffy material that's\nusually low quality and low quantity. But there's a problem\nbecause when scientists estimate how much carbon reaches the seafloor\nthrough things like marine snow, it doesn't seem to be enough\nto sustain the vast amounts of life that lives down there. So what else could be falling\ninto the deepest parts of our oceans? And if crocodilians are one possibility,\nwhat down there could possibly eat one? First things first, though,\nwe need to understand why alligators? How you even get hold of alligators\nfor an experiment like this. And finally, how on Earth you carry three large crocodilians\nnearly 2000m below the surface. So why alligators? Ever since I've been in Louisiana, I'm\nsurrounded by a huge alligator population. Last count, I think, was that the alligator population in Louisiana\nalone is about a million individuals. So it’s this tremendous amount of the species that lives on the coast\nand is quite sizable. And if you think about like crocodilians,\nthey are they have coastal distributions in very large numbers\nor like the saltwater crocodile they can actually they actually move\nbetween islands and can occur offshore.
