I like the Firefly Squids. They look like the Pearly Kings and Queens of the sea. :)

I like the leafy and weedy seadragons. They're quite beautiful. Also, those Yeti Crabs look really cuddly (even though I know they're probably not).

These animal programs interest me to no end. I always learn something new and it's fascinating. I learned about the sarcastic fringeheads for the first time. What a name for a fish! And it's ugly, to boot.

I bet the #19 sea scorpion probably tastes like lobster.

Sea scorpion is enough to keep anyone out of the ocean.

Apparently it's extinct according to the caption though, thank god. Not sure how they managed to make that one look so real, but it definitely had me fooled.

If you think that's scary though, get a load of this little guy. Don't worry, this one's been extinct for over a million years (otherwise I'd be avoiding the ocean like the plague):

In that case, keep in mind that there are giant squids and colossal squids roaming the depths of the ocean too. Maybe things even bigger than that.
