Scariest things found in ocean

Have you ever seen this????

By Zayn Published 2 years ago 3 min read

Ocean life is amazing, but let's face it. There are some scary-looking things in there that hide just under the surface of the ocean. It's no secret that sharks, octopus, and eels exist around here. But have you heard about The Bermuda Teeth? They're actually quite rare, but they do exist somewhere deep in our oceans. Here the most terrifying creatures you will ever come across in the ocean

Sarcastic fringehead

The sarcastic fringehead is a fish that lives in the ocean. It has large eyes, long teeth and a long tail. The sarcastic fringehead has been seen by divers off the coast of California. It has also been seen in other parts of the world including Australia and Japan. This fish lives in deep water and can be found between 600 to 3,000 feet deep.

The sarcastic fringehead is not dangerous but it does have sharp teeth and can bite if it gets too close to you. If you are near the sea floor or on an underwater tour where you may encounter this fish, you should stay away from it as much as possible because it might try to bite you if you get too close to it.

Zombie worms

Zombie Worms

A species of the genus Ommatokoita, zombie worms are found in deep ocean trenches and can grow up to 18 inches long. They were discovered off the coast of Chile by Carl-Gustaf Ross and Christian Kühl in 1973, but it wasn't until 2011 that scientists realized they were seeing something new.

The worms appear to be dead, but actually have a strange life cycle. When food is scarce, zombie worms will eat their own kind and then regrow into smaller versions of themselves. This process repeats until one worm becomes so large it can't fit through its own layers of skin. Then it releases chemicals that cause other zombie worms to grow larger still.

Bobbit worms

Bobbit worms are a type of marine worm that lives in the ocean. They have a large head, with eyes on top and a small mouth underneath it. The upper part of their body is covered in rows of sharp teeth that look almost like fangs.

The bobbit worm's most recognizable feature is its long, ribbon-like proboscis (or snout). This can reach up to 15 feet long and is used for catching prey, or for mating and egg laying.

The bobbit worm's body is covered with tiny hooks called "setae" that help it grab onto slippery surfaces like rocks or coral reefs. In addition to using its proboscis, it uses its tentacles to move around under water as well as sense prey items nearby.

Giant squids

The giant squid is a living fossil. It's not known for its friendly nature, though. These creatures are the largest invertebrates in the world, with some specimens reaching a length of up to 36 feet and weighing more than 2 tons. They're also one of the most dangerous deep-sea predators ever found, with an appetite for sharks, whales and even sperm whales.

Giant squid are rarely seen because they live at depths of up to 3,000 meters (10,000 feet), which is deep enough that sunlight doesn't penetrate the ocean waters very far. Even when they do surface, they usually stay underwater for hours at a time before swimming away again.

The giant squid's ability to remain hidden has earned it a reputation as one of the scariest animals on earth, but it's actually more afraid than you are — and it doesn't like being approached by divers with nets or boats. The creature has been known to attack humans who enter its territory without permission or try to take photos or video footage of it by using large flashlights or strobe lights that mimic mating calls
