    Those are all pretty cool!!! I am not a queazy kinda guy... but if there is one "fish" that really creeps me out, it's got to be the Lamprey! That thing is what nightmares are made of!!!

    The scariest thing is that the great lakes are supposed to be filled with them... yuck!

    I'd have to say the freakiest Fish is the Rattail...that just literally scares the ass outtah me. Imagine going deep sea scuba diving and seeing that think right in front of you? You would just see a turd float to the top of the Ocean...true story.

    Sometimes i think we know more about space than we do about our own ocean sence its so hard to explore, well both have thier limits but still we have only explored maybe 2% of the oceans floor....

    Yeah, it is the Sperm whale. Apparently, it's a worth opponent. The Sperm whale's gather in a pack of six or seven before deep ocean diving to hunt out the squid. More then often, the pack of Sperm Whale are missing a member when they emerge.

    That's one bad-ass squid.

    The squids become like 18m or something, thats crazy huge!

    I wish i could see a fight between a spermwhale and a squid, or a white shark vs a orca.

    oh ya the megladon is so big it would make sperm whales look like dolphin...

    whats more proof that the megladon might still eb down there is that they thought this one fish (cna't remmeber its name) became extint shortly after the megladon... but then in the last 10 years fisherman off portugal have been catching them in their nets regularly... i wish I had a picture of this fish because its what scientist call the link between fish and land animals.. this fish's fins look like limb and they serve the purpose of limbs in a way on the ocean floor.. very acient looking fish!


    TRUE ... megladon are awesome huge .. the tooth they found like you say make a todays great white look about 1 /10 the size and are very similar in structure with serrated edges.

    Ever see the megamouth? They found one that had engulfed or bite onto a ocean liners anchor!!

    I'll look for pics of both.

    P.S the Orca whale wouldnt stand a single chance against the awesome wrecking machine known as the Great White ... NOTHING CAN.

    squid vs sperm whale.. yes .. that would be incredible to say the least... I dont think cameras could make it down that far.

    There is one fight between a great white and a orca recorded, i acctualy think the orca won it but not 100% sure.

    Megladons would be ****ing scary...but i honestly think we would have encountered one if they still were down there, sure the ocean is huge but they were like white sharks werent they? Wich means the would come to the surface. Maco sharks are awsome too.

    I wonder how much a set of those Megladon jaws cost.

    I would love to have that.

    I had some humpback whale bones like ribs and spine from PEI... its huge stuff .. in my backyard.
