  • E/V Nautilus is exploring the ocean studying biology, geology, NAUTILUS LIVE 2014 | archeology, and more. Watch www.nautilusliv... for live video from the ocean floor. For live dive updates follow along on social media at / nautiluslive and @evnautilus on Twitter. For more photos from our dives, check out our Instagram @nautiluslive.
    We've spotted a lot of monkfish in our travels around the world, but most of the time they are sedentary on the bottom of the seafloor - not this time around. It's not one of the deep ocean's most attractive creatures, but they certainly are fascinating - they have huge stomachs and can swallow prey as big as themselves.

    Sometimes it seems to me that the bottom of the ocean is the place where evolution decided to go totally "avant-garde"

    It looks like a frog that decided to revert to a tadpole but got stuck as half way back.

    I loved how it put its landing gear down before settling back on the sea floor. Great video, thanks for sharing.

      Apparently it tastes good, but it's not considered as luxurious as a lobster because it's ugly.
      Fun fact, lobsters and oysters were considered a working class food in the past.

    Oh boy. Live - let - Live. I would never hurt one. But that is one bad fish. Every in of the lacy looking part on the front is mouth-opening. And every bit of the mouth-opening has SHARP teeth! When the mouth opens, if it gets one of your appendages it CLAMPS DOWN!!! FAST!!!! Have to use a tool of some sort to open its mouth so you can get your appendage out. There will be blood. Yours.

    God is so amazing!
    Jesus Christ is God incarnate who came to earth to be born and live a perfect life, a sinless life. (He is one person of the Trinity, consisting of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; one God in three persons not three Gods.) Jesus then gave Himself up to be crucified and died to pay for the sins of the whole world. My sin, your sin, the sins of everybody. 3 days later He was resurrected. He now offers salvation to all who will turn from their sin and trust Him to save them from eternity in hell. He paid our debts because we couldn't, but we have to trust Him to do it. I cannot add anything to what He has done (not even baptism). I cannot do enough good to take even a year off of my death sentence in hell. The sentence is a never ending one, because I have sinned against an eternal God. But Jesus took my punishment, He saved me, and offers that same salvation to you. I am praying for you.
