As I was doing some coursework before my deadline I took a break for dinner and then when I returned I began browsing the internets of knowledge AKA Yewtewb and Wikkipeediya (scouse accent).
Then I stumbled upon the "Frilled shark" instantly I thought this was a setup and I was waiting for the "You're are an idiot Hahaha!" to appear but it didn't... this thing was real. It made me think of the time a few years back when BBC did a series of programs over a week about deep sea creatures with live dives to the depths of our oceans and came back with rare footage and interesting videos I was amazed but I never really looked into it again.
Once again I've got that phase where it has stunned me and the lifeforms that we are completely oblivious to us are starring me right in the face (through a screen).
A few of the bizarre ones that have set me back are the deep sea anglers, gulper eels and long nosed chimera. The fact I find most bizarre about these sort of deep sea creatures are they can be generally found throughout the world at these astonishing depths. Possibly at these depths the conditions are almost identical anywhere in the world relating to temperature etc but it still is amazing how evolution and natural selection has come to this.
So I ask you... readers
Either from mind or from reading, what do you think is the most bizarre deep sea creature you've ever read or seen? I think it's an extremely interesting topic as many marine biologists say we know more about the moon or mars than we do about the bottom of our very own sea.
