Monstrous Creatures Living In The Ocean's Abyss

An international team of scientists have finally explored where no other human has gone before — into the ocean abyss off Australia's eastern coast. The month-long expedition was sponsored by Museums Victoria and a government research organization, and it did not disappoint. The scientists discovered monstrous creatures in the depths, 2.5 miles below the ocean surface. Many of which were new discoveries. Here's some of what they found.

That faceless fish is now one of my nightmares.

It must be fun and exciting to discover animals that we've never seen before. The bottom of the sea is such a mysterious place.

[jamalwatson]

What's with the Harry Potter background music??

[IrisStellaGrace]

[Andrew_Warden]

This music is magical. I feel like I'm watching a whimsical dark fantasy with insane sea creatures.

It's amazing that there still some kinds of species in the depths still exist

I remember cookie cutter fish from a book like in 2nd grade


Edit: and the same exact picture was used for it

Maybe in a century we could have detailed maps of where every deep sea creature can be found. There aren't many natural barriers on the ocean floor other than the areas of plate activity. It would be interesting to get an idea of where these creatures live and where, if at all, do they migrate.

I seriously didn’t need to know these things existed... I’ll have nightmares forever now, thanks insider! :D
