That is exactly why I want to go down! So many things in the world still unknown to mankind, it's amazing to go down there and discover a whole new ecosystem , especially when man thinks he has this whole planet all figured out

You'll be taking that back when this starts swimming towards your ass.

PHOTOS: Tiny Tropical Island Yields a Wealth of Species

A cockle's large, muscular foot juts through an opening in the mantle supporting its shell.

The cockle bends and straightens the foot to jump away from predators in its shallow-water ocean habitat off the island of Espiritu Santo, Vanuatu. The cockle uses the two small holes in its shell to pump and release seawater filtered through its gills.

what I find most interesting is how long those things have survived down there. Obviously they must have themselves a food chain and mating system, it's very fascinating stuff.

Makes you wonder if all life on earth is not intertwined in such an all-inclusive manner as we think. Maybe there really are totally separate ecosystems, food chains, etc. that aren't affected in the least by what goes on up here, and vice versa. Hell, even if we dump tons of oil and chemicals in the ocean, there's got to a be a point deep enough where it doesn't matter anymore. And who knows what the stuff down there excretes into the water.

Holy underwater ball of dildos, Batman!

That's so cool. Nature comes up with the most ridiculous things you'd never buy into if some stoner were to tell you about it. "How about, like, a squid with elbows man".

Eighty percent of the world's species remain to be discovered

so, I dont have any fancy scientist degrees, but I find this statement odd.. how is it they know what % of species are still undiscovered?

Probably because all of the animals in the deepsea of ____ arn't the same as the kinds in a different deepsea. There's a ton of places we probably havn't even begun to explore. Also people like to make up numbers.

[Khamsin]

I wonder if that 80 percent is equally distributed amongst the various kingdoms, genuses, and species... e.g. 80 percent of mammals are left to be discovered, 80 percent of birds, etc. as well as 80 percent of bacteria, insects, and odd random marine life.

Real Life Sea Monsters - 24 Bizarre Creatures of the Deep : Who Sucks


http://www.weirdthings.org.uk/wp-con...ers-pic-14.jpg
Black Metal Fish is not amused, either. Theres some more pictures of weird sea shit. I'm like alot of other people, my fascination with ocean creatures began as a child and I did wanna become a marine biologist as well. I've always loved stories of these huge creatures and monsters that lived in the deep that humans never see but only hear about in myths and fairytales. I also love mythological creatures as well, things like giant boat eating squids and man eating creatures always get me going. I doubt it, but does anyone remember going to the arcade and playing the game "Ocean Hunter"? That shit was the bomb.

[Shuvo]

Very cool. I always like it when they capture videos of deep underwater creatures. Here's another one that was found last year:
YouTube - Prehistoric shark found in Japan

I wonder what that squid would taste like. Would it be like normal squid or chewy due to the pressure of the water down there.

Man i would die to have a taste of that thing.

Taste is probably the same as regular squid, but it would be like eating tyres. Anything that deep would be toughhh.

Fuck you deep sea shit.

From the Bloop link:

According to scientists who have studied the phenomenon it matches the audio profile of a living creature but there is no known animal that could have produced the sound. If it is an animal, it would have to be, reportedly, much larger than even a Blue Whale, the largest known animal on the earth.

Holy shit, I hope that's true because that would be fucking awesome for something that large to exist on this planet and for humans to not even know of its existence.

I wonder if that 80 percent is equally distributed amongst the various kingdoms, genuses, and species... e.g. 80 percent of mammals are left to be discovered, 80 percent of birds

No, of course not. I'd be surprised if there were 5% of birds or mammals left undiscovered in the world.
