 Re: nature has crazy monsters
how'd you like to come face to face with this fellow?  The Goblin Shark, or Mitsukurina owstoni, is a deep-sea shark, the sole living species in the family Mitsukurinidae.The most distinctive characteristic of the goblin shark is the unorthodox shape of its head. It has a long, trowel-shaped, beak-like rostrum or snout, much longer than other sharks' snouts.

 Re: nature has crazy monsters
it's not the big mac you see on tv, but rather the sad, floppy one that you actually get at the drive thru

 Re: nature has crazy monsters
Not too "crazy", but one of the most colorful is the Mandarin Fish. Its colors are even more vibrant in person (and in the right lighting). And watch some of the vids to see those side fins undulate. Pretty wild. http://www.oceanfootage.com/stockfootage/Mandarin_Fish
