World Under the Sea - Marine life, really fascinating
June 11, 2008 1:55 am Animals, Very coolI am really fascinating things">fascinated by things that I can not see or touch very often, especially the weird looking and colorful animals that live deep under the sea.
Last weekend we went to a small aquarium by the beach. At the aquarium they had many different animals that I have never seen before. They were awesome. Some were spiny and sharp and others looked as soft, thin and delicate as a silk shirt. So, I looked around the internet to try to find really cool pictures of odd sea creatures, check it out.
Firefly squid, most likely called that because of the neon looking colors on its body
Sea Robbins
This is a really bizarre looking fish called a Blobfish. I found some info about this strange fish. Found at depths where the pressure is several dozens of times higher than at sea level, which would likely make gas bladders inefficient. To remain buoyant, the flesh of the blobfish is primarily a gelatinous mass with a density slightly less than water; this allows the fish to float above the sea floor without expending energy on swimming. The relative lack of muscle is not a disadvantage as it primarily swallows edible matter that
floats by in front it.
A Handfish, maybe named handfish because it looks like a hand?
Here is a gallery with some more very cool sea creatures
