Mesmerizing Footage Of Undiscovered Deep-Sea Life

Our oceans cover more than 70% of Earth’s surface. While the ocean remains largely unexplored, we occasionally get a glimpse of the weird and wonderful creatures that eke out a living in the deep. There are countless creatures on this planet we'll likely never discover. There are many creatures, some cute, some terrifying, and most of us know little about them.



Blood Red Feather/Sea Lilly Starfish - Heterometra sp: These Beautiful plant-like creatures have mastered the art of camouflage. They hide in plain sight among bright corals and anemones on reefs, firmly anchored to the sea floor, as their slender, branching limbs billow like colorful fern fronds.These are crinoids, members of the echinoderm family that also includes sea stars and sea urchins. There are 600 or so species of crinoid on Earth, and they're found all over the globe, in both shallow waters and at depths of up to 9,000 meters below sea level. These marine animals reproduce every 10-16 months. Male and female creatures often live in different habitats, which makes breeding periods unique to the colony.
