Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted January 16, 2019 Moderators Share Posted January 16, 2019 Yeah. I have to admit generally I am much more excited by Planet Earth than Blue Planet as I find a lot of the water animals relatively more boring (I think because their behaviours are far less relatable), but the deep sea stuff is just wild.

cobra_gordo Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Mantis shrimps look bonkers but are another shrimp that enjoys punching crab claws off. These fuckers have been known to smash aquarium glass. This is the answer though isn't it. A great white cage dive has been on my bucket list for far too long.

Paid Members Surf Digby Posted January 16, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted January 16, 2019 Octopuses are fucking ace. Super intelligent, hard as fuck, and can change the colour and texture of their skin to blend in with the environment. They're basically the Terminator II of the sea. I was fortunate to see one on a reef when I was snorkelling in Egypt. To see it appear from nowhere is mindblowing, a completely different level from butterflies that look like leaves and chameleons.

Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted January 18, 2019 Awards Moderator Share Posted January 18, 2019 I present a nomination for the coelacanth, which everybody thought went extinct 66 million years ago, until someone caught one off the coast of South Africa in the 30s. Been around longer than the dinosaurs, these guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted January 18, 2019 Moderators Share Posted January 18, 2019 Rarity is great and all, but that just looks like a normal fish tbh. Also I can't see your image so I had to go and Google it so I am now disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
