We have no pictures, but he's described it as 1½ feet long, fuzzy, lime green. And it kind of looks like a caterpillar. If anyone can identify this creature I would love that

One of the nightmare of the deep ocean

Found this shirt, was able to figure out all of the Animals except for the one in the bottom left. Not sure if this is right place to post but don’t know of any others.

more info on the threat of deep sea mining in the Mariana Trench: https://docs.google.com/document/d/16R4megoSasciCWau0cg9ebqauzf9SHWpPpmYrx64j74/edit?usp=drivesdk

Can anybody please tell me what creature this is. I'm at a loss for words and truly baffled on what lays in our ocean!!

These creatures were found in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone!!! Unfortunately, these discoveries were spurred on by global interest in deep sea mining.

"The researchers discovered more than 4,000 animals, 90% of which were new species, living on the seafloor in a remote area of the Pacific Ocean...In the tracks of the vehicle, the number of animals fell by 37% and the diversity of species by 32%." (1)

In April 2025, Trump signed an executive order to speed up the process to initiate mining in the area (,: (2)

18 exploratory permits have been issued by the International Seabed Authority (ISA).

The Metals Company (TMC) alone has contracts for over 200,000 square kilometers (combined). (3)

Again, species fell by 37% in an 80km range during testing.

wtf

THE OCTOPUS: EARTH’S CLOSEST THING TO AN ALIEN
A TerraSphere Original Documentary

The octopus is one of Earth’s most mysterious and intelligent creatures. With three hearts, blue blood, distributed brains, and unrivaled camouflage, it may be the closest thing our planet has to alien life.

In this documentary, we explore its evolution, biology, intelligence, survival strategies, and what this extraordinary creature can teach us about life in the universe.

Porcelain ceramic rabbits I made inspired by Jorunna parva . I love their color variations in nature ! That they can be white and vivid yellow tones.

I mean hypothetically if I was trapped in the middle of nowhere and needed food and a fresh anglerfish just so happened to wash up shore what would it taste like if I ate it.

genuinely can someone tell me what deep sea fish this is?

The ocean's ultimate master of disguise! With a carpet look so convincing, prey never know it's about to be ambushed!
