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.

(I think it's a small garbage can, but they do tend to be big crabs.)


Is that a quarter pounder hamburger on the bottom of the crab?

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.
