Giant Squids also freak me out, it makes me wonder what else lies underneath the sea.

Even creepier is the rare megamouth shark.





Imagines if the world did flood and these things were everywhere because of the freedom.

Even better: megas have bioluminescent patches around their mouths.

disturbingly, my first thought was "I wanna see!" followed by a liontameresque feat of sticking my head in one's mouth.

that's probably a really bad idea.

Well, look at their teeth and jaws. They aren't really 'bitey' sharks, more like giant minnow traps.

I'm not so scared of Megamouths because they're filter feeders, but Greenland sharks are bad. >: They're probably the largest flesh eating shark out there- they eat polar bears and reindeer almost whole. o_o
