When you swim in the ocean, do you ever wonder what’s lurking below the waves? You know there’s stuff down there. But exactly WHAT is the real question. Well after taking a gander, let me tell you one special fact.
Ignorance is bliss.
Because after seeing these 15 scary crazy sea creatures in action… I may never even take a bath again.
1. Water Bear
These little micro-animals may be less than 1 mm long, but are the first animals that are known to survive the vacuum of space.
2. Mola Mola
The largest bony fish, it can weight 5000 lbs.
3. Red-Lipped Batfish
Wow, too much lipstick?
4. Ribbon Eel
These actually change genders as they grow up!
5. Pink See-Through Fantasia
What’s up with these transparent guy? Haven’t they heard of decorum?
6. Squidworm
The 10 tentacle-like appendages on the squidworm’s head are longer than its whole body and are used to collect food from the water.
7. Sarcastic Fringehead
8. Barreleye
His transparent head shows you his brains!
9. Blobfish
It was voted the world’s ugliest animal, any guess why?
10. Goblin Shark
11. Salp
These little guys eat all the carbon in the water, helping the planet.
12. Bobbit Worm
Growing up to 10 feet in length, they can break a fish in half with the force of their blow.
13. Comb Jellies
The rainbow of colors is not due to bioluminescence, but rather light scattered from the moving cilia used by the comb jellies to move through the water.
Whoa. I wonder what the phobia name for a fear of sea creatures so scary that you’ll cringe at even turning on a faucet is. Something tells me it’s about to get a whole lot more used. I truly wonder how I’ll be able to get to sleep tonight…
