Today we will walk you through, 7 Of The Most Frighteningly Bizarre Ocean Creatures.\r
Given the extreme depths to which scientists must go to find these frightful--and tiny--fish, little is known about the hatchet fish. Making top models around the world jealous, the morose-looking creatures derive their name from how razor-thin they are.\r
Anatomically speaking, the hatchetfishs thorax is supposed to resemble the blade of the hatchet, and its cold, silver glint the metal. Their name is somewhat deceiving, though; measuring in at a mere one to five inches in length, the hatchetfish is hardly deadly. Its just, well, pretty terrifying.\r

More gelatinous than your grandmas pudding, the blobfishs strikingly jiggly appearance has captivated the attention of millions for the past several years. So striking is the mass with fins that just this year it was deemed the worlds ugliest animal. Life isnt all that bad for this Oceania-dwelling creature, though. As the blobfishs den is primarily near the bottom of the ocean, the water pressure is understandably high, causing the blobfishs skin to have the approximate density of water.\r
You might think that lack of muscle tissue would prove disadvantageous, but youd be wrong. All that means is that when it comes time to eat, the blobfish simply opens its mouth while floating merrily above the oceans floor. Its lack of density means that it doesnt have to expend any energy in order to eat. Lazy chefs around the world, direct your ire to the blobfish.\r

Consider the fangtooth fish to be the underwater equivalent of a menacing pitbull with a heart of gold. Despite their threatening appearance, the fangtooth is incredibly benign--especially as its poor eyesight means that if it wants to hunt, the fangtooth quite literally has to bump into its prey in order to find it.\r
Its chompers certainly paint a different portrait, though: protruding from its mouth, in proportion to the fish the fangtooth has the largest teeth of any fish in the ocean. Good luck catching a glimpse of the sharp-mouthed animal: it resides as far as 16,400 feet beneath the sea.\r

These icky echinoderms certainly boggle the mind. Lacking a true brain and any semblance of sensory organs, the sea cucumber boasts about the same mental capacity as the food for which it is named. Nevertheless, the cuke serves as vital part of the oceanic ecosystem, as it recycles nutrients and breaks down detritus that comes its way.\r
Unlike the ual cucumber, the sea cukes collagen levels allow it to make some pretty kooky maneuvers: if the sea cucumber needs to wedge itself into a tiny crevice, the collagen will loosen and the sea cucumber will effectively liquify itself to seep into its desired locale.\r

Deemed by some scientists as a living fossil and overshadowed by its flashy counterparts, the goblin shark leads a relatively mysterious existence deep below the ocean blue. The only extant survivor of a 125 million-year old family of sharks, the goblin is truly unique.and ugly. Apart from its most salient features, which includes its long, flattened snout and protruding jaws, the goblin is relatively unremarkable.\r
Given its flabbiness, most scientists speculate that the goblin shark is sluggish and relatively inive. Its highly unlikely youll ever see a goblin shark in your lifetime; when one was brought to an aquarium in Japan, it died soon after.\r

Shell collectors of the world, be warned. Though the saturated snail you see here bears a striking shell, the vibrant patterns arent part of the shell itself but rather the mollusks living mantle tissue.\r
Located in the Atlantic and Caribbean waters, the flamingo tongue snail feeds on toxic sea fans and, like Bruce Willis in Unbreakable, suffers no harm. In f, the cunning snail absorbs the venom and--to the chagrin of its potential predators--becomes toxic itself.\r
