Don't know for sure whether this is authentic (the main site looks a little dubious), but some cool pictures of deep sea creatures in any event: http://www.ebaumsworld.com/seacreatures.html

It's not authentic. The photos are from a deep sea research web site. See http://www.snopes.com for the details.

I figured as much. Gotta love snopes.

Cool creatures anyway. Here's a link to the (not dubious and vastly more educational) site from which the images were apparently lifted: http://www.oceans.gov.au/norfanz/CreatureFeature.htm

Anyone is welcome to move and/or delete this post, since it's not really in an appropriate forum.

That makes at least four of these threads on scubaboard, and something like the fifteenth separate online reference I've read (without actively trying) the last two weeks. At least I know my field of study is still popular with the public. Hoo-yah.

Sixteen, do I hear sixteen?

heh. They filter this site at work. I love their reason that it's flagged in their firewall database for the site/url:
