Post Nature at its finest (okay, well oddest at least)
Deep-sea oddity, or real-life kaiju - you decide.



I will just posit this however:


OKay, in all truth, this is an actual creature, what is known as long-nosed chimaera, but pretty damn cool, and creepy looking, if you ask me. Barely seems like anything "Earth-like" in resemblance, but then, there are some odd creatures in the depths. This was caught in waters off Nunavut (northern Canada) and I am sure gave those fishers something to remember.

read about it earlier. Love the way if flies in the water, there is just so much of our own planet we still don't understand or even know about.
