Love this kind of thing - enjoyed it very much! As did my kids who found it thrilling and are off to do their own research on them all as we speak! Just their kind of thing!
Thanks!

I was stunned at the existance of such strange and fascinating creatures. WOW!
I love these types of threads. As the old saying goes, "You learn something new every day."

Very cool thread!
I love the panda ant.
I've seen the blob fish before. I don't know why, but it always makes me feel bad for it! It just looks like it's sad to me.

very very amazingly brilliant!
that blue dragon, wow!
it just shows how little we know of our oceans.
makes you realise that if aliens ever did come here, we'll never be able to communicate
great thread op

I never want to leave my house again.

It is so amazing to me, really. We watch sci-fi movies with the most bizarre and inconceivable beings. We see time-travel fiction where one goes back to prehistoric times to see strange creatures... only to see stuff like that and know that such things like that are right here, right now!

some of these creatures are beyond imagination and some have made appearances in a nightmare or two haha.. that fish with the human-like teeth is freaky bizarre.

Great pictures. I also love this type of stuff, And i never heard of many of them at all..Thanks for posting these

lol and people think it's far fetched that at one time we evolved from fish. One look at this photo is enough to stop even the most fervent evolution denier in his/her tracks.

Oh god the Goblin Shark is horrifying.

Amazing creatures, thank you for sharing! Some of these just crack me up...

The red lipped bat fish
Doesn't everyone have an aunt who looks like this?


The goblin shark
If he looks angry it's because his vision is blinded from above and below, plus his eyes are more on the side, yet not well-centered on the side...he can pretty much only look outward at a certain angle all the time. Guess I'd be pissed too.


The panda ant...ROCKS.
We need more of these!


Lowland Streaked Tenrec
This guy never left the era of when spiked hair was cool. I think he was one of the original members of the late-90's band, Aqua.


Glaucus Atlanticus also known as the Blue dragon
No, no, this was a toy of mine when I was a kid. I sort of let him cook in the oven to see if he'd harden like clay but ended up like...this.


Mantis Shrimp
One of Jim Henson's Muppets, but fans felt he looked too much like Scooter.


Venezuelan Poodle Moth
Ever see Godzilla vs. Mothra? This was Mothra's stunt double.


The Pacu Fish
Generically altered by a group of scientists working for The Secret Council of Dentistry. Plans are underway to market these fish as pets sometime next year.


The Bush Viper
"You're either with us, or you're with the mammals."


The Blue Parrotfish
Barney The Dinosaur's long-lost, distant cousin.


Narwhal
They don't like company.


Thorny Dragon
Well, he gets bored..


The Blob Fish
You're right, he was in MIB3, but his 15 minutes sort of went to his head and he got caught up in all sorts of drugs and wild parties and now he's in a drug rehab center in Santa Maria.


Dumbo Octopus
This poor little guy's been called so many names that he's had to undergo extensive psychiatric treatment almost his whole life. As a result, he's grown a rather mistrusting disposition. Good news is, he's currently slated to host a late night talk show called Hook, Line and Sinker. The show is supposed to keep a whimsical sense of humor while delving into some pretty serious topics. Salmon Rushdie is rumored to be his first guest when the pilot episode debuts this Fall on HBO.


Seriously though, if Mother Nature has this sense of humor, I think we have to.

I almost spit my coffee out!!

Great pics... very colorful selection. Most of these I never heard of before.

The narwhales are cool. Seen them before. But they are a bit mysterious, as not much is really known about them.

I'm thinking that the more colorful a creature is, the more toxic it is... like the tigerfish. link

For my contribution, I leave you with this (from a movie):
