MONSTERS FROM THE DEEP 23/6/2003
The Age introduces a veritable freak show of bizarre deep-sea creatures, including these beauts.
Deep-sea sharks, stingrays, rattail fishes and invertebrates (creatures without backbones) are among species discovered, while blobfish, prickly dogfish, giant sea spiders and other things not on a fish’n'chip menu were also caught in the nets.
Scientists on the month-long Australian/New Zealand voyage, on the research ship Tangaroa, also found extinct volcanoes as they mapped the sea floor during the 10,000-kilometre trip.

If my ex-wife was an ocean dwelling creature, she would look approximately like the denizen on the far left.
