The Golblin Shark

The Goblin Shark is one of the rarest sharks living to this day and it is said that this shark dates up to 125 million years ago. This shark tends to grow between 3 to 4 meters. It tends to live at 100 meters under sea level but adults tend to go up to 150. This hideous pink creature can extend his jaw forward to catch unexpected prey. It is believed this shark hugs the sea floor and eats crustaceans but also small fish sometimes. The Goblin Sharks are no threat what so ever and have never attacked a human to this day but are horrifying.

The Colossal Squid has sharp hooks at the end of his tentacles as well as suckers and teeth unlike the giant squid which only has teeth and suckers. The first sighting of a Colossal Squid was finding two tentacles in the belly of a Sperm whale. Scientists then used underwater cameras to find a huge eye starring at the camera. But it is now proven exist and grows up to 8 meters according to recent studies. The largest Colossal Squid caught was by new zealander fishers off the coast of Antarctica, measuring initially 10 meters but then the creatures tentacles shrunk making it still a whopping 4.2 meters due to the tentacles shrinking.
