Okey-dokey what better on a Sunday than pictures of real never before seen monsters?

[snagglepuss]

New images of extraordinary animals living in the Earth's deepest oceans that look like something out of a sci-fi film.

1. That's what I think the republican candidates look like, under their skin

And, not all that far under.

2. Bwahahahaha. I thought they looked familiar.

8. The scale worms DO look like angry little attack muffins

Angry, pasty, doughy, and mean. Like...

[Politicalboi]

3. These creatures that live without light

I have to wonder by exposing them to light, does it blind them, or even kill them? Do they even know?

[snagglepuss]

6. Do they even have eyes? Only the first one looks like it has eyes but

are they really eyes? Hopefully someone will provide an answer.

7. This is just a hypothesis

but because there are no forms of natural or artificial light that these creates have known over generations of evolution, it is unlikely they have eyes.

I would think they would have sensory organs--they'd have to. I suspect the protrusions may be some sort of sensor, but not photons. Probably these are side effects of a shallower ancestor that had eyes. As this creater move deeper, the eyes quit being a survival bonus so natural selection quit refining it.


Again, this is just a hypothesis.

4. Wow!

Makes me wonder if the sci-fi experts have seen these before

5. Aww, now I want a pet scale worm!

Okay, not really.

Man, those things are ... otherwordly.
