i just saw this online on google when i searched deep sea creature, this was catpured from deep sea 10,000ft below. i been browsing the net for more info but nothing is comming up.
it prolly is real. when you gt down there real deap in the ocean there are alot of wierd fish. my cousin caught a halloween fish once in alaska. it is basically a giant bass (HUGE) and it was blaze orange w/ yelow eyes. wierd, it loks fake but its real
the thing is, it's body looks wayy too complex to be a deep sea creature. unless it's body tissue is made of something that i never heard of. Most deep sea creatures have very light non massive body tissue like that thing. from the way it looks, it'll be crushed by the deep sea pressure easily. but i could be wrong.....this creature is just really interesting to me now and i want to know more about it. i've already emailed alot of deep sea oceanorgraphers on it.
that could be a deep sea creature, look at its eyes...its made for dark areas...and down deep is where it lives...maybe its a new game fish? lol...ask fred flinstone...they might know what it is...lol... wagonL
I wouldn't doubt it. When I was in dive school we got took a course in underwater life, we ended up studying some of the stuff down deeper, as dives going past 1000 feet are becoming more common. Yes, it is humanly possible to dive past 1000 feet, I think the deepest pipeline tie in on record is almost 1900 feet, and the record is in the 2100 foot range. There's some spooky stuff much shallower, and the original post actually takes you to the site where they talk about the deep sea expedition that found these. http://www.oceans.gov.au/norfanz/CreatureFeature.htm I think it's a spookfish, but I'm not 100% sure
well...im thinking its this one.. http://www.oceans.gov.au/norfanz/images/creature_features/lr/Rhinochimaera1KP.jpg
whatever it is i think it's cool. would any si-fi artist come up with such a creature? i love you sea creature!!! i'm drunk, ignore me i find this mildly entertaining. i got hit on by a fat chick that looked like that tonight so i'm a little compromised.
that one actually looks much better than the other ones i've found online....but thanks brian for identifying it.! now i gotta go catch me one!
Long-nosed chimaera pup (middle of the page) http://www.oceans.gov.au/norfanz/library9.htm edit: according to wikipedia, it is indeed the pacific spookfish, a type of chimaera: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chimaera
