5 Strangest underwater/Aquatic creatures<br /><br />The world is full of strange creatures but the Oceans are real abundant in this regard. There are lot of creatures waiting to be found beneath the surface of the ocean. Here is a list of creatures that are unique in one way or the other found in the ocean.<br /><br />5. The Ugliest fish<br /> Blobfish voted world's ugliest animal. The blobfish (Psychrolutes marcidus), a species that<br /> lives at great depths and is rarely seen but resembles a marine Jabba the Hut, has been voted<br /> the world's ugliest animal.<br /><br />4. Headless Chicket Monster<br /> The headless chicken monster. Floored by its unusual physique, scientists call it the headless<br /> chicken monster. It is also known as the swimming sea cucumber, the Spanish dancer and by <br /> its scientific name — Enypniastes eximia.<br /><br />3. Most eggs laying Fish<br /> The ocean sunfish or common mola (Mola mola) is one of the heaviest known bony fishes in <br /> the world. Adults typically weigh between 247 and 1,000 kg (545–2,205 lb). Female ocean <br /> sunfish can produce more eggs than any other known vertebrate, up to 300,000,000 at a time.<br /><br />2. Fish that Walks<br /> The sea toads and coffinfishes are a family of deep-sea anglerfishes known as the <br /> Chaunacidae. These are bottom-dwelling fishes found on the continental slopes of the <br /> Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans, at depths to at least 2,460 m (8,070 ft). The see toad <br /> manoeuvres at the bottom of the ocean using its fins as the legs. It seems as if it is going to <br /> evolve fully grown legs instead of fins in some millions of years in the future.<br /><br />1. The Giant Squid<br /> The giant squid (Architeuthis dux) is a species of deep-ocean dwelling squid in the family <br /> Architeuthidae. Giant squid can grow to a tremendous size, offering an example of deep-sea <br /> gigantism: recent estimates put the maximum size at 12 m (39 ft) or 13 m (43 ft) for females <br /> and 10 m (33 ft) for males from the posterior fins to the tip of the two long tentacles (longer <br /> than the colossal squid at an estimated 9–10 m (30–33 ft),[2] but lighter,[3] one of the largest <br /> living organisms). The mantle is about 2 m (6 ft 7 in) long (more for females, less for males), <br /> and the length of the squid excluding its tentacles (but including head and arms) rarely <br /> exceeds 5 m (16 ft). Claims of specimens measuring 20 m (66 ft) or more have not been <br /> scientifically documented.
