Factsphere Sez: Goblin sharks were part of the inspiration for the Xenomorph’s design, and in fact they were used as the specific inspiration for the proto-xenomorph in Prometheus.

“The Lions Mane Jellyfish is the largest jellyfish in the world. They have been swimming in arctic waters since before the dinosaurs (over 650 million years ago) and are among some of the oldest surviving species in the world. The largest can come in at about 6 meters and has tentacles over 50 meters long.”
I think I
Yeah
I never want to see one of those
ever
thanks
Whooooa! I’d love seeing one of those.
ETA: Photoshopped. Yet another fake.
(…Pity.)
WARNING: EXPO IS AN INSUFFERABLE PEDANT ALERT!
Also this is not a Lion’s Mane jellyfish at all. Those look like this:
They can get to be pretty big, about the size of a large dinner plate or serving tray, and they do have the longest tentacles of any common jellyfish species.
The jellyfish in the OP’s (shopped) photo is a Nomura’s Jellyfish. They’re common in the waters off of Japan and China—SO common, in fact, that they’re a menace.
And make no mistake: they can get HUGE
…just, y’know. Not so huge that they literally dwarf a human being.
Meet Deepstaria enigmatica, a particularly bizarre species of deep sea jellyfish.
They come from Antarctica, which should surprise absolutely no one.

OH MY GOD POCKET REAPERS
dhsfjghadjgs oh my god
i like how the ocean decided ”i should make a 165 foot long jellyfish monster that is transparent but glows satan blue to attract fish and it can cause paralysis and death”
when you bring them up to the surface they explode
why are they still making all the horror movies about sharks man
Been awhile since I blogged any horrifying sea life. This needs rectifying.

(And yes, many deep-ocean species DO explode or fall apart on being brought up to the surface. They’ve adapted specifically to the pressures near the sea floor and suffer catastrophic decompression when exposed to lower psi.)

…in what crack-smoking universe is this a starfish? Even the crab is going “WTF”.
Meet the Basket Star, a bizarre species of starfish (specifically a type of Brittle Star) native to my neck of the woods here in the Pacific Northwest.

Deep-sea jellyfish Atolla wyvelli, also known as OH GOD WHAT. They live in the waters off Japan (of course), and are bioluminescent.
So apparently these guys are called Crown Jellyfish, found in deep water. What a gorgeous species. They hardly look real.
