5 Deep Sea 'Aliens' So Fake You Won't Believe They're Real

You won't believe these 5 deep-sea creatures are real. They look like CGI. Number 5: The Sea Pig. This looks like a rejected alien design, but it's a real sea cucumber. It walks the dark ocean floor using those water-filled tubes as legs, vacuuming up sludge. Number 4: The Vampire Squid. Its scientific name means 'vampire squid from hell.' When threatened, it pulls its webbed arms over its body, turning inside-out to hide from predators in a spiny black cloak. Number 3: The Goblin Shark. This living fossil has a nightmarish, alien-like jaw. It unhinges and shoots forward at 10 feet per second, extending almost the full length of its snout to snatch prey. Number 2: The Anglerfish. This nightmare fuel is famous for the glowing lure on its head. But the truly fake-sounding part? The tiny male bites her, fuses to her body, and becomes a permanent sperm sac. Number 1: The Barreleye Fish. Its head is a completely transparent, fluid-filled dome, like a cockpit. The two green orbs inside are its eyes, which it uses to look straight up through its own forehead for prey. The deepest parts of our own planet are more alien than science fiction. #deepsea #ocean #creatures #aliens #nature #bizarre #marinebiology #weirdanimals
