I hate embedding. It slows down the browser like crazy.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvxwkeAIZR8lumpsuckers
>>270172 Favorite animal, btw. They're just so derpy and cute.
>>270436>favorite animaloh god i thought i was the only oneSwam with them, adopted one, sent various organizations money to help them, still have a slew of plush manatees in my room. We used to see them all the time when visiting the fam in FL in the river down the street from their old house but you can't anymore because FUCKING BOATS.
Best fish of fish.
This crab uses sea anemone as melee weapons.you can't make up this kind of shit.
>>270488In b4 savvy creationists use it to justify the existence of God "Because it's just so FREAKIN AWESOME!!"
>>270492Then I'm afraid I'd have to counter with the "bedbugs have institutionalized stab-rapes" argument, but that's not oceanic enough for this thread.
>>270496>>270496And I'd respond "And then the people who believe in reincarnation will hear that and be all 'Fuck! What did they do in their past lives to deserve that! I mean, Shiva, that's like shit that should only happen to Hitler!'"But that'd be completely off-topic. Back on topic, sorta, I want this job.

>>270505Honestly, sometimes I can't tell if this is bad or good. Again.

>>270516Who cuddles the cuttlefish?
Placoderms are the best extinct sea creatures of all time, OF ALL TIME.>>270525Me. I would cuddle cuttlefish.
>>270526Dunky is the best anything in the ocean ever.
The ancient oceans were even scarier
>>270699you mean they were more RAD TO THE MAX
>>270699OH SHIT
>>270507I AM SCREAMING IN TERRORFucking deep-sea fishes. TERRIFYING THEY ARE.
>>270755Even the really derpy ones?
>>270758-ESPECIALLY- the derpy ones.The ocean is a fucking scary place man.
>>270759What? What is so wrong with a derpy-looking deep-sea cucumber?
>>270760HIIII KEVIN~
Hey, does anyone have that picture of the mola mola saying WUT to a scuba diver inches from him? I seem to have misplaced it.
>>270781I have the image but not the macro.
>>270782Wasn't this one. It was looking down at the diver.
>>270788Aaaand, not even a minute later...
Baby horseshoe crabs are cute. :3Sorry for the blurry picture.
>>270794They're pretty adorable as adults, too. :3
>>270797My friend told me they even wag their tales when you pet them.
>>270797Yeah, it's awesome.I have a plush one on my desk chilling with a fabulous purple octopus.
>>270797When I was four or five I went to a small beach at the end of a residential street and saw three guys with golf clubs whacking the shit out of one of these as it was trying to crawl back into the ocean but they would pick it up and chuck it back on the sand and keep hitting it. I was crying hysterical and yelling at them to stop and they laughed and one guy smacked it and it exploded and he started cracking up as another guy picked up its remains by the tail and threw it at me. I ran home screaming and was sobbing so hard when I hit the door that I couldn't breathe.Sage for cool story bro (I'd spoiler it but I think that actually draws more attention to it). I just wanted to throw it out there that people suck and horseshoe crabs are awesome.
Can someone confirm if this is actually a babby chimera or not? It's been copypastaed all over as such but doesn't look like any species I've seen.>>270801Oh god that's horrible.
>>270525She does?
>>270870no, that's just one of the many bizarre fish species that were found beached after the 2005 tsunami. it uses it's nose, which acts like a metal detector, to find food (and GOLD) on the bottom of the ocean floor.
Triops reporting in.>>270794Horseshoe crabs are awesome.>>270800>I have a plush oneMe too! :)>>270801I'm sorry you had to experience that. That's a horrible story and it fills me with rage.
>>271088My task is clear. I must become on with the horseshoe crab and wreak vengeance upon the land dwellers for the rest of my life.Alternate comment:Takeshi Yamada what the fuck are you doing stop being creepy and kind of cool but mostly creepy.
>>271024>GoldQuick! We must domesticate these creatures. We'll be rich, rich I tell you!
