The World's Weirdest And Creepiest Sea Creatures by kultimate009: 1:13pm On Sep 28, 2014 |
Whether in the crystal clear waters of the Caribbean or off the coast of Australia and Tasmania, some of the world's most beautiful oceans also contain the world's most nightmare- inducing creatures. Often dwelling at the bottom of the sea and rarely seen by humans, Distractify compiled a list of the creepiest underwater animals around. Behold the best of the bunch and good luck getting into the water after this. THE GOBLIN SHARK The goblin shark is a deep-sea dwelling animal with a whole lot of very sharp teeth. Thankfully, it poses no threat to humans as it mostly eats bottom-feeding fish. While very little is known about the elusive creature, it is believed to have a wide global distribution having been spotted everywhere from the Gulf of Mexico to Japan.

SRACASTIC FRINGEHEAD The sarcastic fringehead may have a chuckle- inducing name, but this tiny, ferocious fish is no joke. Known for its large mouth and territorial behaviour, they are ambush feeders and aggressively attack their prey - usually crustaceans. They are native to Southern California and Baja, Mexico.

WATER BEAR Good luck ever being able to close your eyes again after getting a glimpse of the world's toughest creature: the water bear (or tardigrade). The water-dwelling micro-animals are classified as extremophiles, which means that they can thrive in an environment that would be detrimental to most life on Earth. No wonder they can live for up to 200 years and survive trips to space.

BOBBIT WORM Found in warmer oceans, the Bobbit worm can grow to sizes of nearly 3m (9.8 ft) long - although the average remains around 1m (3 ft). The creature catches its food by burying its long body into an ocean bed composed of gravel and mud, waiting for one of its five antennae to sense prey. Due to its sharp teeth and speed of attack, sometimes its prey is sliced in half in the process.

MOLA MOLA The Mola mola is the heaviest known bony fish in the world with an average adult weight of 1,000 kg. An ocean sunfish, the species is native to temperate and tropical waters. Though they may be absolutely massive, these docile creatures eat a diet almost solely comprised of jellyfish and pose no threat to humans whatsoever.

RIBBON EEL AND RED-LIPPED BATFISH While both the colourful ribbon eel and red- lipped batfish may look beautiful, you definitely don't want to get too close. These eels can change colour and sex during their life and grow to be 1.3m long. As far as the batfish, their pectoral fins actually allow them to walk on the ocean floor. It's found in deep waters off the Galapagos Islands.

BLOBFISH You can't un-see this haunting creature! The blobfish lives off the coasts of mainland Australia and Tasmania. Rarely seen by humans, they usually live at depths between 600 and 1200m.

BARRELEYE Last but certainly not least: the barreleye, which is also known as the spook fish. Named for their large, protruding, barrel-shaped eyes, the four-eyed fish has a transparent head - meaning you can see it's brain, as well.
