Take this guy, discovered last month. Scientists from the Queensland Brain Institute managed to capture this shot of a deep sea amphipod crustacean -- and other weird-looking sealife -- on Australia's Osprey Reef, where this crustacean and its prehistoric, deep sea-dwelling friends were found 4,500 feet below the surface.According to The Courier-Mail, they rely on their own bioluminescence for light. At those depths, the pressure on these creatures is 140 times greater than the pressure that the rest of us land-dwellers face -- just another environmental condition they've adapted to.
