One of the most bizarre creatures you'll ever see:

Wow ! That is bizarre . Looks like a shark from the front and from the back view it looks like a giant eel. Cool video , just wished it was longer.

By my standards , this is deep and well thought out .

I just saw this on the news. Awesome creature. Looks like he is prehistoric.

Gosh, that's so gross. Just goes to show how little we know of what lives in the ocean.

Here's a very cool video of a Sperm Whale playing with a submmersible. It's a little long - he shows up around 1 minute in. I would have passed out if I was there - even though he's just checking the thing out & playing with the cables - he's still wicked scary.

I remember reading somewhere that we know more about deep space than we do about our own deep oceans.

Look at this:

Don't deep sea creatures explode if brought to the surface?? Deep sea creatures are so fascinating! Not the prettiest of fish...I've always been so fascinated by them but rarely hear any news of them, loved that kind of stuff (REAL SCI-FI!). I like the creatures that illuminate. Imagine living in total darkness with all that pressure!
