Idk if I have a fave deep sea creature, I’ll have to think about that… but I’m rather fond of coconut crabs. They steal shit from people, and are enormous.
And maybe they killed Amelia Earhart!
Or at least stole her heart and ear
Bone-eating tube-worms!
Oarfish give me a sense of dread in the pit of my stomach, they’re so cool
The pacific tree octopus; of course.
Bigfin squid
Most alien shit on our planet
i don’t really care about animals… i know like three different fish and that’s it as far as sea creatures go. i will still listen to people talk about them though.
Orca care about you. They are the only apex predator that refuses to hunt or eat humans. We are unique there too. They will eat other monkeys and apes that they rarely happen upon, and they eat polar bears and other bears whenever they can catch them.
Last time an orca even bit a human in nature, the human was asking for it. They were poking the orca with a blunted harpoon. The orca snapped, bit their arm, realized what it just bit and let go before it severed the dude’s arm. Then all the orcas in the area left for a decade or so. This was back in the late 1800s on the Pacific coast of Alaska.
that’s so cool!
Those creatures that live around high temperatures hydrothermal vents, they don’t get their energy from the sun!
Siphonophores. Extremely alien looking colonial organisms. Iirc they are, by far, the longest known aquatic creatures.
Bruh siphonophores are so fascinating.
Whale Sharks. Just look at them. Not a thought behind those eyes. And they’re polka dot patterned. Wobbegongs are pretty great too. They have the cool name, and much of the pluses of the Whale shark. They also have thoughtless eyes.
No love for iron snails?
The Nautilus. I just think they are neat!
All hail Lord Helix!
Wow. Forgot about that.
Goblin shark
Ez-pz
Goblins can be sharks?
Well, sharks be gobblin for sure.
Shrimp and Lobster
No, that’s how you engage with people when you’re six years old.
This comment has “I’m not a kid anymore, I’m 17 years old” energy
Which one is yours, then? :)
Cephalopods of all kinds are fabulous, but it’s a crime I haven’t seen siphonophores here.
