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.

SPIDER CRAB

The spider crab is one unusual looking
creature. It's body is covered in spikes and along with its eight walking legs, it also has two longer clawed arms.
Most often, they are found in course sand and
bedrock along the UK's southern and western
coasts.

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.

Re: The World's Weirdest And Creepiest Sea Creatures by kultimate009: 1:32pm On Sep 28, 2014
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.
