Extremely weird new creatures discovered in the Tasman Sea!

Not up to minute news, but it’s new to me!

Weird ocean life surprises

Check out the “Fangtooth”

Some other pics from same survey

What lies beneath

Cool…if our membership here bought us avatars, one of them would be mine :cool:

I find this really, really disturbing:

I think Wonky-Eyed Squid would be an excellent user name.

Sea spiders - ewwwwww!
Is there no refuge from spiders on this planet??

That humpback angler fish I think is really just an ancho chile that got tossed overboard.

That grew teeth and a Britney Spears microphone.

fangtooth
viperfish
spookfish
wonky-eyed jewel squid

They’re really running out of names, aren’t they?

Don’t dis the Wonky-Eyed Squid!

I love that name :cool:

This

is pretty durn nasty sounding too.
“Sexual vampirism, with a bit of dwarfism thrown in” does sound like a fun weekend though.

The wonky-eyed squid made me laugh.

"What are we going to call this thing then?

Well, his eyes look a bit wonky…

Right, The Wonky-Eyed Squid it is!"

We Antipodeans are not the flowery types. We call it as we see it. If it’s wonky why not call it wonky.

Just be happy that the geoduck (gooey duck) wasn’t discovered by Antipodeans or it would be known as the Giant Dick clam.

:eek:

And so would the SDMB poster currently known as geoduck!
