750,000 undiscovered species in the oceans

Here's what I found this morning. Slide Show Fantastic! Thank you! Some interesting looking creatures there I've just found this too - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/earthpicturegalleries/8039965/Census-of-Marine-Life-pictures-of-new-ocean-species-discovered.html

It's like a treasure trove of alien countenances out there, I haven't had this much fun exploring the internet in years! Nat Geo had more: Nat Geo Link

Outstanding pics!

Wow, nice links! Amazing stuff. In the article though, I never saw any reason why they say there may be 750,000 new species. Is it just to make it a nice even (Dr. Evil) 1 MILLION species!? ... Or is it just a guess? Not that I necessarily agree or disagree, just wondering. (Peacock Mantis Shrimp? Seriously? freakiest thing I've ever seen. Love it!) (video of it under 'Indonesia' in Still Waters' first link)

Or is it just a guess? Not that I necessarily agree or disagree, just wondering. I think it's a guess. They seem to increase the estimate with each new species they find. Who knows, they might end up with 1 million yet

(Peacock Mantis Shrimp? Seriously? freakiest thing I've ever seen. Love it!) (video of it under 'Indonesia' in Still Waters' first link) Wow, somehow I missed this guy! Who needs SETI when we have the ocean? LOL (Just kidding don't hurt me.)

Amazing... Considering the fact that planet earth consists of approx. 71% ocean it is very good possible that there are millions of unknow creatures. That's the beauty and diversity of this world...

Wow, somehow I missed this guy! Who needs SETI when we have the ocean? LOL (Just kidding don't hurt me.) No doubt, and how it looks isn't even half of what makes it so cool. (I've done some homework) This guy has the fastest limb movement of any creature anywhere. It has the hardest pound for pound 'punch' of any creature anywhere as well. It has two claws that in this guys case are actually clubs, which it uses to hammer on it's prey, which is often many times larger than itself. It hits with a force of up to 60kg, and it accelerates at the speed of a bullet (accelerates is a key word here). ... [More]

Just amazing. I'm fascinated by these mysterious creatures of the deep, so thanks for posting this!

That's Great...Sure there are plenty of animals in Oceans... I use to wonder,if there is any big Monster bigger than the Blue Whale which is lying Deeper.
