Hmm, though within minutes of posting I in turn find out they're probably fake (well, in relation to being from the Tsunami..)

Ah well, it's still cool to look at strange deep ocean dwelling creatures

Jeez, that thing's freaky lookin'! It's like some evil, demonic thing that somehow got pulled from the oceans of Hell and flung onto a beach!

That eye is seriously weirding me out. Yeah, probably just the camera flash or something, but still...

Woah, those are amazing... I am definitely going to have to draw them later when I should be doing something productive instead :D. The chimaera is my favorite (adult.) Very creepy, and definitely it makes me feel warm and fuzzy these kinds of critters exist.

Oh, and I love squid. Both to eat and to admire. That one's too cute to eat though.
"The rest of the poem plays upon that pun. On the contrary, says Catullus, although my verses are soft (molliculi ac parum pudici in line 8, reversing the play on words), they can arouse even limp old men. Should Furius and Aurelius have any remaining doubts about Catullus' virility, he offers to fuck them anally and orally to prove otherwise." - Catullus 16, Wikipedia

It says something when the least offensive thing in the lot is a damn squid.

Ugh, that blobfish was appropriately named. The chimaera pup i found kinda cute, to be honest. Cuter than Ann Widdecombe anyway.

We got some clingfish over at the Aquarium of the Pacific that resemble the blobfish slightly. They're in a tocuh tank, you can pet them.

Yuck, who'd wanna pet such ugly things? Well, perhaps the clingfish isn't that ugly.
