Here Be Dragons

The Guardian newspaper today presents a gallery of images from a census of the world's sea creatures.

Among the striking images is this scary monster.



It's a dragonfish from the depths of the waters off Australia - really down, down under.

Apart from the teeth on its tongue, what really grabbed my attention was The Guardian's observation:

"...it would be terrifying if it was not the size of a banana."

Now, I can't speak from experience, but I'd say a banana could do a lot of damage.
And even more so if it's got teeth attached.

So, colour me terrified.
