some trippy forms of animal life.
These intertwined velvet worms, or onychophorans, are living fossils, holdovers of the Cambrian explosion of life-forms that occurred about 530 million years ago. Velvet worms became land dwellers some 250 million years ago but survive today only in dark, moist habitats such as the leaf litter in Costa Rican forests. These worms were photographed at the University of Hamburg in Hamburg, Germany.
Darkness in Antarctica's Weddell Sea gives this comb jelly a chance to show off its candy-colored bioluminescent cells.
A carnival of color, this nudibranch (Chromodoris Kuniei) calls the Sulu Sea in the Philippines home. These sea slugs can be found in environments offering shelter in the tropical waters of the western Pacific Ocean.
Also called a straight ammonite, Bacculite is an ammonite mollusk with a straight, not spiraled, shell.
Prehistoric squid remains have been found near Australia, Germany, and in the Western Interior Seaway, a vast sea that once bisected North America.
Floating along at the whim of ocean winds and currents, Portuguese man-of-wars are a popular food item for sea turtles.
All sea cucumbers are ocean-dwellers, though some inhabit the shallows and others live in the deep ocean.

I came to class stoned out of my mind every day, i chugged vodka in the back of class, i put dead fish in the ceiling tiles. i put a gallon of old milk and orange juice in the file cabinet before winter vacation. i brought snakes in a tied up sweater and let them loose during class. i didnt go to school to learn, i went because i had to. i didnt care, and i didn't fucking listen to that stupid bitch. and i still don't fucking care. i tore the pages out of her books and burned them, and threw away all the books in the class, two books per day.

This shit always gets me to wondering just how developed our planet is in comparison to others. I've always believed in life on other planets...but when I see shit living like 3 miles under the ocean, I have to wonder how developed we are in comparison.
