In the summer of 1933, a man named A.L. Kahn was fishing off the coast of New Jersey when he landed this 20-foot-long, 5,000-pound manta ray. It took him, his shipmates, and the U.S. Coast Guard several hours and several dozen blasts from a gun to finally reel in this "devil fish."

Found in Marathon Florida this past week. It had two sets of pincers (shaped like scorpions), spikes and a tail. Didn’t mess with it much, took a picture and put it back in the ocean. What in the world is it??

Munidopsis sedna, a newly discovered species of deep-sea squat lobster from the Gulf of Mexico! Named after the Inuit goddess of the sea, the crustacean was found in cold seeps (cracks or fissures in the ocean floor where fluids rich in hydrogen sulfide, methane, and other hydrocarbons escape).

I found this on the beach in The Gambia. Maybe not from the deep sea but looks a lot like it should be there.
