I was looking at many pictures of fish and I found some way crazy looking fish. I know these are deep sea fish, but they look like deep sea monsters more than a fish you would eat. Many of these fish live very, very deep in the sea and do not come up to the surface often. Some of these fish live so deep that there have been very few ever found at all.
I wonder if some of these very deep sea fish are what sea monster stories are based on. This one here is called a fang tooth, sure you can see why
Dragon fish
This is a picture of an Oarfish, Oarfish are huge and may be one of the wicked looking fish that sea monster tales are based on
For some more very scary large fish, check out this megamouth shark. Just very wicked looking, the last thing I would ever want to run into in the water. The megamouth looks more menacing than the great white for sure even though the shark is not as big.
I don’t even know what this crazy looking fish is called… way wicked

Animals, Very cool
No Comments
I 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
