20000 Leagues Under the Sea

Ooooh

Researchers studying the Mid-Atlantic ridge have recently recorded 17,650 species living below 656 feet, where sunlight does not reach. These creatures are more fantastic than what I would conjure in my imagination (and according to SB I have quite the imagination).

Grimpoteuthis

The creatures come with equally fascinating names like Grimpoteuthis (the dumbo eared one) and Enypniastes, a transparent sea cucumber.

This brings only one thought to mind: how envious would everyone be when I served these possibly highly endangered and pricey specimens at my wedding banquet?
