Odd-Looking Marine Animals

"QUANTUM SHOT" #530 Link - by Avi Abrams Nothing's like an octopus that wants to hide. Pun intended: it does look like nothing until you approach really close, then it springs at you (morphs at you, intimidates and astounds you, you pick the right verb) Here is a video that most tellingly shows how some unassuming clump of weed on a rock can grow tentacles in a matter of moments: http://www.darkroastedblend.com/2009/02/awesome-octopi-cephalopods-from-outer.html

Big Fish Extravaganza

Fishing can be DANGEROUS (art credit: Monica Langlois ) But seriously, some people catch really big fish, and spread even bigger tales about it. Source China Daily Source: CrazyPages http://www.darkroastedblend.com/2007/03/big-fish-extravaganza.html
"QUANTUM SHOT" #648 Link - article by M. Christian and A. Abrams "Why are the Earth's oceans more mysterious to us than the Moon?" - Bill Bryson, "A Short History of Nearly Everything" It's commonly said we know more about the surface of the moon than we know about what happens right here on our own planet, in that murky world at the bottom of the sea. http://www.darkroastedblend.com/2010/08/dwellers-in-abyss-ugly-monstrous-fish.html

Aside from picking some vicious industrial garbage, you can bring to the surface some strange and unmentionable things.

Strange Science: Sea Monsters

Contrary to popular belief, the sailors of Columbus's day did not think they would sail right off the edge of the earth. They were, however, apprehensive about what they would find in their travels. Mistakes about marine life have ranged from inaccurate assumptions about the behavior of known species to fanciful depictions of animals that "might" exist.

Encountering Sea Monsters - Introduction - Octopus, squid, and other cephalopods | Nature

NATURE’s Encountering Sea Monsters follows Bob Cranston in his quest to film and understand the world’s most mysterious cephalopods. Imagine coming face to face with a cannibalistic creature that is as tall as you are and has long tentacles, a razor-sharp beak, and skin that flashes with bizarre, dazzling color. NATURE’s Encountering Sea Monsters does just that, as underwater cameraman Bob Cranston explores the remarkable world of marine creatures called cephalopods. Cephalopods include squids, cuttlefish, octopi, and nautili. Cranston and top marine scientists dive in waters from Indonesia and Mexico to Australia and Texas, meeting up with a variety of cephalopods — from the tiny but deadly blue-ringed octopus to the giant Humboldt squid, known for its aggressive behavior, flashing light shows, and cannibalism.
