10 Sea Creatures That Prove Ariel Had The WORST Nightmares!
If we had to share a home with nightmare-fuel marine life maybe we'd want to be "Part of Our World", too!
Giant Ostracod
You are locking eyes with what is nicknamed the "seeded shrimp". Found about 5,000 feet deep, this crustacean is marble sized with mirrored eyes.
Whalefish, Bignoses, And Tapetails
We know so little about the deep that we used to think that the juvenile Tapetail was a different species from their adult male & female counterparts!
Viperfish
This rare and terrifying deep sea gem floats aimlessly while hunting, blinking it's photophore to reel them in and dislocating its' jaw to capture!
Giant Isopod
Like a ginormous tick or the Pokemon Kabuto, this is one of the largest crustaceans in the ocean, lives 7,000 feet deep, and is a dish to some folks!
Erenna
This wormy jellyfish creature is essentially the Megazord of the deep, combining swimming, feeding, and venomous polyps to form one functioning body!
Giant Jelly
Billowing through the water, this jellyfish has a cape of muscular arms that extend up to 20 ft behind it, engulfing and digesting potential prey. Wow
Blobfish
A Spongebob reject, this fish is one of the wildest we've ever known. It has no muscle and floats aimlessly, sucking in passing food. #foreveralone
Frilled Shark
Meet this rare, eel-like, deep sea critter considered a living fossil! There's over 300 of those serrated teeth, and this one strikes quickly!
The Holopus
Imagine a deep sea hand that comes out and grasps you and you'll have this sea lilly. This is a rare one and only exists in extremely cold/dark waters
The Predatory Tunicate
These surreal looking sock puppets not only drop our jaws but keep theirs open 24/7 to catch food like an underwater Venus Flytrap!
