When we thought we had seen every weird animal in Nature, here comes the crazy sea creatures you’ve never guessed existed.
1) Axolotl
It’s also known as the Mexican walking fish. You can find it in some lakes of Mexico. They’re close to extinction because of tilapia and carp, aaaand because they’re used in Mexican cuisine.
2) Headless chicken fish
This is a Sea cucumber that can be found mainly in the benthic zone of the ocean feeding on sediment. It slowly moves pushing itself with its tentacles.
3) Sea pigs
Let’s be clear, when we hear about them, we think on this. But no, they’re sea cumcumbers that can be found in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Ocean, at depths of over 1200–5000 metres.
4) Sea Angels
These are a large group of extremely small, swimming sea slugs.They are hermaphrodites and move at speeds up to 100 mm/s. You can find them deep Antarctic waters.
5) Marrus orthocanna
It is a colony composed of a number of specialised zooids linked together by a long stem. Although they seem like rockets they are found in the Artic and cold water.
6) Fathead
It is a whitish colour flattened laterally. The texture of its body enables it to withstand the great pressures at the depths where it lives around Australia and New Zealand.
7) Kiwa
This is a furry-clawed crab discovered 5,000-feet deep on a hydrothermal vent south of Easter Island. Named for the mythological Polynesian goddess of shellfish.
8) Halgerda terramtuentis
It is a species of sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, (newdy-brank) shell-less marine gastropod mollusk. It can be found in the waters of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands.
9) Bathykorus bouilloni
This is a species of hydrozoan. No, it’s not family of Darth Vader. It’s just a hydromedusa that can be found at the Arctic, about 3,300-feet deep.
10) Dumbo Octopus
The average life span of various Grimpoteuthis species is 3 to 5 years. And they can be found worldwide mainly in New Zealand and Australia.
