Creatures of the deep (56k) (Not for the faint of heart)

This thread is awesome! The ocean is a really cool, yet scary and dangerous, place! :o

[QUOTE="blackngold29"]Such fascinating things in nature, glad to see we've killed all of them.BumFluff122

Heh? WHy are you glad we have killed them all? I really hate when people wishes that a strange creature from their perspective should be killed

God ( which is a giant octopus :P) hates you now :(

I'm not sure what are you trying to say. Are you justifying they should be killed because they live on places where we might go swimming? That's their habitat, we should leave them alone and at most, admire them by distance

Ah ok, sorted :)

I just got confused, sorry

I for one am deeply amazed by the existence of such fascinating animals. Most of these posted in this thread I heard about it before, Im sort of a nature freak. The most amazing animal in my opinion is the Giant Octopus, followed closely by the colossal squid. I wish one day to actually see them

Gotta catch em' all!

That's pretty cool, I believe I have something to bring to this thread ...

The staff of a Japanese aquarium took pictures of a rare frilled shark in 2007, after it was discovered by local residents at Awashima Port in the southwest of Tokyo.This prehistoric shark is rarely seen alive as its natural habitat lies up to 1,280 metres (4,200 feet) deep under the sea. Experts at the Awashima Marine Park were able to examine the creature, which was a female, and film it swimming around.Unfortunately though it died a couple of hours after it was moved to its new environment.The eel-looking shark, with its mouth full of 300 trident-shaped teeth, measured 5.3 feet-long and weighed 16.5 pounds. Frilled sharks normally inhabit deep sea waters between 400 and 4,200 feet and rarely come to the surface. However they have been seen near the coast of Japan before, especially during the winter time when the water temperature drops and they have to get to warmer areas to feed. Frilled sharks can grow to a length of nearly 6.5 feet and eat deep-sea squids and other soft-bodied preys.Most specimen are found in the Japanese waters.

I've always found various 'secret' sea creatures very interesting, good thread mate.

The crab and spider made me cry :cry:

That giant crab gave me goosebumps. :?

BumFluff, got any pictures of giant catfish? I've heard stories of ones lurking at the bottom of hydroelectric dams, with mouths nearly big enough to swallow a person.

sure

I really want a giant octopus... :(

The diversity of life on Earth is truly astounding.

No idea if there is any actual evidence of this ever existing, could only find this artist's depiction. Still, very scary to think about.

I love this tread. Yay for discoveries! Can only imagine what else is down there.
