Some Weirdest Sea Creatures That You Might Wanna Know About

Read on to know about some of the most amazing underwater lives that most of us might not be aware of!

If you are searching for weird creatures that defy explanation, there is no better place to look than the deep sea. Here is our listing of some most unearthly deep-sea creatures:

Bob Sculpin

The blob sculpin, the deep-water equivalent of Grumpy Cat, it's a miserable-looking fish that lives in very deep water in both the North Pacific and Bering Sea. While this bottom-feeder might also seem to be forever bored and bummed out, it can clearly stay tremendously busy on the ocean floor. Sculpins fan their eggs to maintain them free of sand, which is an uncommon behavior for deep sea fish, who have a tendency to be a bit more relaxed, especially when it comes to parenting their offspring.

Christmas Tree Worms

Christmas Tree Worms can be observed in warm, tropical waters ranging from the Caribbean to Indonesia, earning their identity from the tree-like appendages that protrude from their top. The part of this worm that appears like a Christmas tree, is in reality its mouth. The feathery bits are tentacles that push meals towards its digestive machine.

Glass Squid

There are around 60 species of glass squid in the ocean, and they get their identity from their transparent bodies – a neat trick to keep away from casting a shadow that could be noticed by predators in the twilight zone. The two appendages sticking out from it are eyes on lengthy stalks. Those eyes are extra opaque than the rest of its body, so each eye additionally has a bioluminescent organ to mask its shadow.

 Sea Pen

A sea pen is a colonial animal made of many polyps. One polyp grows and will become the base, and the different polyps grow out of this basic polyp. So, how did they get their special name? The sea pen's form bears passing resemblance to a quill pen.

Anglerfishes

Life can be scarce in the dark depths, which is a trouble when animals want to find a companion for mating. Hanging on to a workable mate is a proper solution, and some deep-sea anglerfishes take that to extremes.

The adult males are much smaller than the females, and when male meets a female, he offers her body a kiss that lasts the rest of his life. The male’s blood supply joins up with the female’s via his lips, and he lives off her like a parasite while she catches prey with her bioluminescent lure. But the dangling male is an accessible accessory for the woman to carry around, prepared to fertilise her eggs when she releases them.
