Yeah, it's a slideshow, but it's really cool. Check out the transparent sea cucumber.

Actually, the 'Dumbo fish' is pretty cool, too.
 
The Crassota jellyfish looks awesome. =D So does the Blind Lobster! Oh the things humanity has yet to discover in the oceans~ ^^

What's not to love about an animal that looks to be using its ears to swim?

Those marine spiders, on the other hand...that's just...odd.
 
If they dig any deeper, they'll eventually find Cthulu. Not that they'll be able to tell a soul about him when they do.
 
Animals scientists find these days are so amazing.~ :shy:
 
Anybody else freaked that one picture looked like it was in space? I swear by the time we get into the deepest reaches we'll probably come tumbling to the earth....from the outside.
 
Who knows? 'Wonder when they will find Pokemon at the bottom of the sea. That'd be so epic.
 
I think I've seen a lot of those before. The ocean bottom always has a lot of interesting, almost other worldly creatures. Which I think is interesting, because of the way we design aliens look very similar to real animals, but thinking of the possibility of other life makes you wonder how drastically different life can be from what we picture.

I will say one other thing, though, This Antarctic Ice fish looks like a pokemon, lol. I blame the proportions. and also, This blind lobster could make a cool monster design (for a regular RPG, I don't mean pokemon this time, lol)

I also wonder if that "Dumbo fish" is related to the Cuddle fish because they seem very similar. (both with tentacles and head-fins, and one being transparent while the other can change it's pigmentation)

Also, fox news? :p

That only looks like a pokemon because Gamefreak based Mudkip after that animal. :p
 
You get the point though, I was trying to focus on Pokemon and real life. Now where is Mukubird in real life....
 
Number 6 looks drawn. ;o

But the spaceship fish was epic.
 
That cucumber actually looks pretty cool, even though everything about them is disgusting.
