(mercola.com)     BIZARRE BEASTS OF THE DEEP!

These five amazing images of bizarre beasts look like photos of creatures from another world.     http://environment.newscientist.com/channel/earth/deep-sea/mg19125603.900

They're actually from the deep oceans here on earth, but I'm betting you've never seen sea life like this before. Among them:

An Annelid Worm found at a deep-sea vent
A Piglet Squid, which swims upside down
A Dumbo Octopus, which has ear-like fins above the eyes, is known to bioluminesce and swims in a bell shape
A Cirrate Octopod, covered in light-producing organs that generate a bluish light
A Deep Sea Physonect, of which each polyp along the orange stalk is an individual animal
