Designed by the man Robert Goblin who previously brought us Feline Frisky, Plunder Down Under unleashes creatures of the deep sea into your pants!
Plunder Down Under features some creepy specimens like the Angler Fish that has developed a fishing pole-like rod that projects from their head & the Electric Eel that generates an electrical discharge up to 600 volts!
This got us thinking…what other weird & wacky creatures are inhabiting the depths below? We’ve compiled a list of the weirdest ones we could find. Let’s dip our toes in & brush up on our deep sea creature knowledge….
PINK SEE-THROUGH FANTASIA
This saucy sea cucumber was found about 1.5 miles deep into the Celebes Sea in the western Pacific, east of Borneo in 2007. It was named for its transparent skin. Its mouth & intestines are all visible. It’s also got some stellar nicknames - the headless chicken fish, headless chicken monster, and the Spanish dancer. Judging by how it looks - those nicknames could be worse!
RED-LIPPED BATFISH
Also known as the Galapagos batfish. Named for its red lips that makes it appear it is wearing its best shade of Chanel lipstick. They have modified pectoral and pelvic fins that resemble legs. So basically these are fish that waddle.
GOBLIN SHARK
Ok, these dudes are scary looking! They are also rare af! Fewer than 50 goblin sharks have been spotted since 1898. They have the ability to thrust their whole jaw upward to capture prey. After hearing that…we are pretty glad they are scarce!
BLOBFISH
Also known as ‘Fathead’ this creature was dubbed the ‘World’s Ugliest Animal’ in a poll by the Ugly Animal Preservation Society. That is a title that carries a huge honour if you ask us. It ain’t easy looking queasy!
