Real Life Sea Monsters. An amazing collection.
At who-sucks, there is an amazing collection of 24 bizarre real life sea monsters. The collection includes real photos of the creatures, taken by fishermen of science labs and comments for each one. Some creatures seem more alien than anything you can imagine.
Here is a selected sample of the collection.
Chimaeras are cartilaginous fish related to the sharks and rays, and are sometimes called ghost sharks or rabbitfishes. For defense, most chimaeras have a venomous spine located in front of the dorsal fin.
The Colossal Squid, sometimes called the Antarctic or Giant Cranch Squid, is believed to be the largest squid species.
Typified by large heads with large mouths and eyes, grenadiers (rattails) have slender bodies that taper greatly to a very thin caudal peduncle or tail.
Oarfish are large, greatly elongated, pelagic Lampriform fish.
