Deep-sea creatures at volcanic vent - video
Camera teams have ventured deep down into the South-west Indian Ridge of the Indian Ocean to film the ecosystems surrounding 'black smokers', the volcanic underwater vents whose super-hot waters afford life to an array of weird deep-sea creatures, some of which are thought new to science, including yeti crabs and scaly-foot snails.

Elrathia kingi

Anomalocaris had a large head, a single pair of large, compound eyes on stalks comprising approximately 16,000 individual lenses,[7][8] and an unusual, disk-like mouth. The mouth was composed of 32 overlapping plates, four large and 28 small, resembling a pineapple ring with the center replaced by a series of serrated prongs.[2] The mouth could constrict to crush prey, but never completely close, and the tooth-like prongs continued down the walls of the gullet.[9] Two large 'arms' (up to seven inches in length when extended[9]) with barb-like spikes were positioned in front of the mouth.[3]

Winter of Cetacean Love:

Dad: “Every aquarium in the country says it’s hopeless. No dolphin has ever lost a tail and SURVIVED!”
Sawyer: “Well they haven’t met Winter”
“We’re here because of the most amazing friend and animal I’ve ever known…Winter and I are family now. And family is forever”
“That dolphin’s taking us somwhere-we just haven’t figured out where yet”
“I thought dolphins were supposed to be smart. Don’t you understand? If you don’t get the tail your’e going to die. Why won’t you just wear the tail??” (Sawyer speaking to Winter in a sad breathy whisper)
