Well, you can never get enough pictures of strange creatures from the deep. Yesterday, TWC brought you the oarfish. And today we bring you the grotesqueries and freakish fish that were tossed up from the depths by the Indian Ocean tsunami. You can see the full photoset here. But (shiver!) take a peek at these:
Excuse me, I think I might lose my lunch. Okay, I’m back and thinking there has to be a horror movie in here somewhere. Scene 1: Mega-tsunami. Scene 2: A few months later, sunlit beachgoers (played, of course, by very bad actresses and actors in ultra-skimpy swimsuits) start getting chomped, mauled, and zapped (yes, zapped) by an invasion of deep-sea oddities that scientists have never seen before. Scene 3: Hey, I’ve done my part. Over to you Wes Craven..
(Update: Damn. Snoped again. Spoilsport, I mean alert, TWC readers–Sailing World’s Tony Bessinger and Peter Hilgendorff Jr.–write to say that according to the urban legend debunker these fish weren’t tossed up by the Tsunami, but were hauled from the deep by the NORFANZ deep sea research expedition. The NORFANZ pics can be found here. Hey, at least the fish are real…).
