(Video) Underwater Astonishments-Amazing creatures, page 1

Wow. This is a pretty awesome short video. Bioluminescient creatures giving off their own light sources, Octopi, Squid, and cuttlefish doing some incredible stuff with camouflage and manipulations of their body structures.

Truly remarkable...

Indeed. Even the guy giving the presentation in this video said we know VERY little of what lurks in the deeper recesses of the ocean. And in the rain forests we're CONSTANTLY discovering new, bizarre species.


What was really incredible about this video is the way these creatures can meld right into their immediate surroundings and literally become invisible.

That octopus that was mimicking algae was totally invisible until it got startled enough to change its pigmentation.

It reminds me of something straight out of that movie "Predator"...You could be right next to it and have no idea it was there. haha

Really! The Chupacabra has been trapped and "identified" as "unknown" animal.
