Thanks for the link! Deep sea creatures are awesome. A little more than 3/4’s down the page is a black eyed squid. Any idea what it’s carrying? Is that it’s brood?

I would hardly call the Fanfin Seadevil adorable!
In the picture you posted, I can make out the eyes, but are the other two pink shapes it’s brain and beak?
The other photos on the site are spectacular. Far better than any human-designed alien species, IMHO.

I think they’re ALL cute. My youngest has a thing for deep sea creatures, but she’s more into angler fish. She epcecially likes viper fish. Me, I like the inverts. I think those red plumed tube worms are the CUTEST!

I like the dumbo octopus; do we know anything else about this nifty creature?

For some reason it looks vaguely like Darth Vader. Or maybe Chad Vader.
Thanks for the link. My daughter got a kick out of finding out that ‘snails’ and ‘worms’ live underwater. I’m kind of partial towards that reddish creature above the Munnopis. Has it been identified/named?

That site is diggbait, as you can guess from the name. The actual site that originally uploaded the photos is http://www.thedeepbook.org as you can see from the watermarks on the pix.

Ewww, I can see it’s brain! Looks a lot like my 5th grade teacher actually, only slightly more evolved.

Very cool! Thanks for the photo link, I’m really enjoying looking at these when I need a break from paper-writing.
Also, I thought you might enjoy this post from the CRAFT blog yesterday: Octopus love!

Though they’re relatively common in my area , my heart still flutters when I find an “Othoceras” with an exposed siphuncle .

It’s Robbie the Robot (reincarnated as a cephalopod)! :-D
