Seals, Sea Lions & Walrus. Red Lion Fish. 10-Year Sea Census. Photograph courtesy A. Fifis, IFREMER Its fuzzy, winter-white coat might look at home in the Himalaya, but the yeti crab was discovered skittering around hydrothermal vents about a mile and a half (2.4 kilometers) under the South Pacific off Easter Island (map) in March 2005. The 6-inch (15-centimeter), blind crustacean—officially Kiwa hirsuta— is among the more than 6,000 new species discovered during the Census of Marine Life , a ten-year effort to document all sea life that concluded Monday.
(See "Six-hundred-year-Old Worms Among Surprises of Ten-year Sea Survey.

A giant squid’s body may look pretty simple: Like other squids and octopuses, it has two eyes, a beak, eight arms, two feeding tentacles, and a funnel (also called a siphon).

These feeding tentacles are very long, often doubling the total length of the giant squid on their own. ARMS AND BEAKEight thick arms speckled with 2-inch wide toothed suckers guide prey from the feeding tentacles to a sharp beak in the center of the arms, where the prey is sliced into bite-sized pieces.
These bites are further cut and ground by the radula, a tongue-like organ covered with rows of teeth, that is inside the squid's beak. EYES AND HEADThe head holds eyes the size of dinner plates -- the largest in the animal kingdom. Spermwhale skeleton. Grey Whale Under the ice (Paul Nicklen) We are listening. Humpback Whale.
