What's with the Japanese and their ability to film strange sea creatures?

So the Japanese are really good at building cars and electronic devices and... filming odd/rare undersea creatures. First it was the giant squid and now this: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16785254/?GT1=8921

Well, there was an atomic bomb detonated over there HOW many years ago? :scratchchin: That's gotta account for some funky creatures. :icon_smile_big:

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

That's right! I forgot about that. IIRC those atomic tests created a big rubber suit that someone put on and then they filmed him stomping on a scale model of Tokyo. :icon_smile_big:

A crime the frilled shark didn't last longer. But to be on the surface as opposed to their normal habitat of 600-1000 metres deep the pressure differential would be the death knell of it. But another neat specimen. I can remember when coelacanths were considered super rare living fossils. Now they are found on a pretty regular basis.

Actually, the coelacanth was thought to have been extinct for several million years when one was caught off the coast of Africa.

I ain't got time for pain, the only pain I got time for is the pain i put on fools how don't know what time it is.

That's a 2 year old story, I suspect they didn't find anything substantial, or we would have heard by now? :ahum:

When I was serving in the US Navy back in the mid 80's, my sonarman friend would sometimes let me see his screens. Occassionally there would be big unaccounted stuff down there (like a 1/4 the size of a football field-and moving) He said that kind of stuff is seen often and they dont always know what it is either...I worked in the engine room and we would flush stuff out of the sea chest strainers that we often couldnt identify either. (cue twilight zone music here)

Remember the lady who grounded a flight due to her flatulation? I guess sea turtles have the same problem sometimes: http://www.metro.co.uk/weird/article.html?in_article_id=30678&in_page_id=2

"Brussels sprouts cause turtle fart alarm

Wednesday, December 27, 2006

A turtle given a Christmas treat of Brussels sprouts caused a Boxing Day emergency when it set off an alarm at a sea life centre – by passing wind.

Its bubbles in the water tank were sent up a tube to the surface, where they popped and splashed water on to a sensor.

Marine biologist Sarah Leaney rushed to the 500,000 litre tank in Weymouth, Dorset, assuming it was overflowing.

'Sprouts are a healthy Christmas treat for sea turtles,' she said. 'But they give similar side effects to those experienced by humans.'"

Here's a bunch of weirdos: http://www.reticulatedsplines.org/stuff/Fish!.htm

some of these monsters are real ya' know!  :yesnod:






edit:

UPDATE: The Associated Press reported Thursday that Loren Coleman, a Portland author and cryptozoologist, examined the beast and believed it was a feral dog. State wildlife biologists and local animal control officers did not examine the animal.

A feral animal is one that has escaped from domestication and returned to its wild state.

Unfortunately, they seem to have the ability to get in the way of various types of US Navy ships too.....sheesh!!!  We hit them more than Tommy Lee hit pam in that video.
