Otherwordly, but real life thread?
Starting with Lampocteis cruentiventer
Another ctenophore. These guys were the first to branch off from the animal lineage, which means that every other animal is more closely related to each other than any is to ctenophores.
Yet another one
This is a squid
Here's another one
All I have unfortunately

Also, name of that particular species? Never seen it before, the big eaty one.
>>17323822
If I am not mistaken, it was the 6(?) episode long documentary The Hunt. As you can tell, it shows many predator/prey relationships in many different conditions around the world. One episode is about the sea (where this is from). I recommend you watch it, it's fucking beautiful and captivating.
If that's not where the footage is from, it at least features the same creature.
>>17323834
Thanks m80!!1 I'll try and find it.
>>17323788
Imagine sticking your dick in that
>>17323390
Shit, I thought it was a Guild Navigator
>>17323896
im sorry your dick that small
>>17323261
>>17323267
Man ctenophores are rad shit.
Things like these is why I chose to study biology
>>17323896
Your dick must literally be only a few millimeters long to be able to stick it in a ctenophore
>>17323933

Autism.
>>17323967
You seem upset and awkwardly defensive about this.
>>17323957
>few milimetres
The one in the OP reaches 16 cm.
Also, here is a jellyfish called Atolla wyvillei
Bioluminescent dinoflagellates.
>>17324063
>>17324071
Also, I chose these ones because you can see the phenomenon well here. The area of the glowing water is small, it can sometimes reach up to 16 000 square km.
How fucking beautiful it must be, being in a little boat and seeing the whole sea up to the horizon covered in this.
>>17324088
Fun fact: ships leave trails of these things, so if you're ever lost at sea at night and you see a blue trail, follow it.
Australian ghost shark...
...and their eggs
>>17327313
shark eggs in general, really
Not super otherworldly, but dragon fruit seem a little less than mundane
Like they came from some magical tree in a fairy forest or something
Smell so nice too~
cool crittas
>>17327393
It comes from a tree-cactus.
>>17323822
Some species of Beroe?
Glaucus atlanticus, a sea slug, here washed ashore, but living mainly near the surface of the open ocean - a very underrated habitat desu
>>17327718
I saw that the other day as the featured picture on Wikipedia. Seems people are starting to take a notice of them. I think that it would be so cool if these things could fly ; like, imagine large swarms of them, all bluey and stuff. And before you say, I know they use poison from the Man O'War. However, they EXTRACT IT from the jellyfish; if they were in air, they wouldn't have it.
super weird spider thing:

>>17328106
>>17323722
It has a shell. It's called a soft shell turtle. Turtles can literally not live without their shell - it is irremovable attached to their bone structure and blood network.
>>17328085
Poor little guy looks more terrified than terrifying. Bullying spiders is NOT okay!
Bobbit worm, reaching up to 3 fucking metres in length.
>>17328085
In case you are not spooped enough, the whip spiders can spray acid on their enemies.
>>17327393

Sea Slugs are some pretty crazy shit, fuckers probably have some connection to the cosmos, if only we had more eyes on our brains.

>>17330182
during late december, 2012, my friends and i decided to take a hike one night. This was when the mayans had predicted the end of the world to happen. We got really stoned and then saw this shit happening and legit thought it was fucking planet x behind the moon lol
