Time again for Monday’s Random Ramblings……..

This is random….and is most definitely a reason I refused to continue triathlons once I had to compete in the ocean!!
Once again taken from BuzzFeed (Yes, I have learnt to love this site!!) 

17 Ocean Creatures More Terrifying Than Sharks

• Giant Halibut

  Can you imagine swimming next to that thing?

• Colossal Squid

   

•  

• Stone Fish

  Please tell me what is worse than a fish that camouflages itself as a rock in shallow water, injects a poison lethal to human upon contact and can survive on dry land for over 24 hours.

• Giant Stingray

  So far, only found in freshwater but has the capacity to live in saltwater if it chooses.

• Barry the Sea Worm

  

• Oarfish

  

• Mega Mouth Shark

  Ok, ok I know Mega Mouth is technically a shark, but look at it. It’s about ten times more terrifying than a great white. Source

• Blue Ringed Octopus

  The biggest one is the size of a golf ball, but if you touch it, there is no antidote for its lethal venom.

• Sunfish

  

• Giant Isopod

  These things have been around since the dinosaurs and can survive for months without food, so you can pretty much expect them to be in our oceans forever.

• Coconut Crab

  So if creatures in the water have you terrified to go swimming, the coconut crab is a good reason to never set foot on a beach.

• Jelly Fish

  … seem relatively harmless until you come across this monstrosity while scuba diving.

• North Pacific Giant Octopus

  

• Barracuda

  

• Huge Spider Crab

  

• Moray Eels

  They look small and harmless poking out of coral reefs, but I know from personal experience these eels can grow up to 9 feet long and can easily take a limb off of a diver.  On one of those worlds dumbest shows, I saw one of these bad boys bite off a divers thumb….one bite and it was gone!!!!  

• Long Spine Sea Urchin
