The deep sea—Earth’s largest habitat—is home to a host of magical and mysterious animals. As we help our education and conservation partners at the Monterey Bay Aquarium prepare for the exhibit Into the Deep: Exploring Our Undiscovered Ocean, launching in 2022, they were curious to know which denizens of the deep are our favorites? With that question in mind, we gathered five of MBARI’s finest deep-sea biologists—Shannon Johnson, Kakani Katija, George Matsumoto, Bruce Robison, and Susan von Thun—and came up with a list of ten favorites. You might be surprised to see what made our list and what makes these creatures so lovable.
For more than three decades, MBARI researchers have been exploring the deep ocean with remotely operated vehicles, discovering fascinating ways that life in the deep sea has evolved to thrive in this dark, cold world. Our ocean is vast and full of things yet unseen. Every time we set out on an expedition, we are amazed by new observations and we are excited to share ten of those discoveries with you!

Im jealous as hell.. Id love to go down that dep at least once in my life in a sub and jsut look at at least one animal
Hey you, yes you who is watching this, I'm asking you,
Ever wondered Why there's so much suffering in this world? And Why do we die?
Suffering is because of Sin, once sin is 🔪 suffering will also be 🔪
This is the proof of sin in each one of us, check yourself out:
Ever Lied?
Ever Disrespected Parents?
Ever Got angry on people?(anger=murder)
Ever Stolen?
Ever Lusted after someone?(lust=adultery)
Because Everyone has sinned against God and became worthy of death(☆Rom 6:23) but God being a Loving Father sent His only beloved Son for us on the Cross✝️ to be Sacrificed as a ransom for our sins(We committed crime, Jesus paid fine ☆John 3:16). And now whoever believes and accepts Jesus as his Lord and Saviour, he/she is granted freedom from sin, Everlasting life, peace✌, love❤ and joy😊 and a relationship with the Eternal God. (☆Acts 3:19)
I feel sick watching this. I’m trying to overcome my fear of the ocean by watching a bunch of underwater videos

THAAANK YOU FOR THIS ❤️❤️ My brother works for NOAA, I have a shunt so going below 25-30 feet is a no no….thx for showing me things like this ❤️
These are all prehistoric creatures that never evolved because the deep-sea never went through any drastic climate changes since the beginning of time. So these ancient creatures are a snapshot of what animals looked like from an ancient era. Imagine what prehistoric land animals looked like during their era? We know about giant lizards (dinosaurs) but imagine what other odd looking land animals existed that we will never know about because their skeletal remains were long since turned into dust over the centuries. Possibly racoon-sized ticks and fleas, flying snakes, jet-sized birds that swoop down to pick up humans and deer and drop them from high distances, eagle-sized bumble bees, land sharks, long-distance flying cockroaches, flying spiders etc. We are very fortunate enough to live in this current era because we would have went extinct in any other prehistoric time. We already know that crocs and alligators are what dinosaurs would have evolved into had they survived.
Am I the only one who thinks the bloody belly comb jelly looks like its got a dumptruck of an ass
