There are CREATURES that lie in wait out there in the dark that haunts the lonely forests of the world that hides in the icy depths of the deepest lakes. They appear unexpectedly and inexplicably, then vanish just as mysteriously, usually leaving witnesses dumbfounded, frightened and, unfortunately in most cases, without a shred of evidence.
Yet the eyewitness stories of these creatures persist, haunting the darkness as well as our imaginations. Here, for your consideration are the most mysterious, unexplained creatures of all time. Some are more likely to really exist than others, but we'll leave that judgment up to you.
In science creative writing, aliens are fictional organisms that did not originate on the planet earth. Sometimes the term is restricted to nonhuman intelligent species from other planets; sometimes it includes organisms that are not intelligent.
There were numerous reports of aliens spotted in the jungles of Brazil. Several of the aliens were caught on camera. The snap - taken from a video filmed by two British tourists - appears to show a small alien-like creature arching its back as it stands next to a tree in the Amazon jungle.
The pictures of the tropical undergrowth on a group of people watching the unusual creature like an alien. A right of another strange sight, a thick shiny blob. COULD this picture taken in the Amazon rainforest be the clearest proof yet that aliens exist?
Google Maps satellite has discovered a few odd-looking giant white lines formations in China. And with the discovery of the white lines stretching over one mile long and 3,000 feet wide, you can be certain folks will continue searching for more interesting Chinese designs.
The place was discovered last week of massive and mysterious man-made structures that appear as scribbled white lines from outer space. Satellite photos from Google Earth pinpoint the coordinates at a location in Dunhuang, Jiuquan, Gansu, in the Gobi Desert.
The mysterious mermaids on land found dead on the shore. A mermaid is a mythological aquatic creature with a female human head, arms, and torso and the tail of a fish. A male version of a mermaid is known as a "merman" and in general both males and females are known as "merfolk". Mermaids are represented in the folklore, literature and popular culture of many countries worldwide.
A strange mermaid-like creature found washed ashore. This variant claims that the mermaid was found on a sea shore may be washed by tsunami. The snap shots show the 'mermaid' lying dead on the shores of the island. Still the mermaid creature remains to be an Unexplained Mystery.
A fisherman has discovered the Cyclops shark this reports of something strange. This mysterious creature named albino fetal shark with one eye smack in the middle of its nose like a Cyclops.
But the Cyclops shark was sliced from the belly of a pregnant mama dusky shark caught by a profit-making fisherman in the Gulf of California earlier this summer, is by all reports the real thing. Shark researchers have examined the preserved creature and found that its single eye is made of functional optical tissue.
It's unlikely, however, that the malformed creature would have lived outside the womb."This is extremely rare," shark expert Felipe Galvan Magana of Mexico's Centro Interdisciplinario de Ciencias del Mar told the Pisces Fleet Sport fishing blog.”As far as I know, less than 50 examples of an abnormality like this have been recorded”.
The Cyclops shark is unexpected. While rare, "cyclopia" is a real developmental anomaly in which only one eye develops. Human fetuses are sometimes affected, as in a 1982 case in Israel reported in 1985 in the British Journal of Ophthalmology.
Dive beneath the ocean's waves, past the sunlit, through the oxygen-deficient zones nearly devoid of life, down, down and down some more, to a place where the pressure would crush a human, and you will find the mysterious, alien world of the deep sea. It is 300 times the size of the space inhabited by Earth's land-dwelling species. It is unbelievably cold and cloaked in near-total darkness. Yet the blackness is alive, swarming with untold armies of fantastical creatures.
However the deep sea — roughly defined as everything below 650 feet (200 meters) — comprises a stunning 240 million cubic miles (1 billion cubic kilometers) and more than 90 percent of the living space on the planet, scientists are still trying to answer the most basic questions about it. Even though the Census of Marine Life, a decade-long international study, uncovered more than 1,200 new species (excluding microbes) in the planet's oceans, the study also highlighted just how much humans still have to learn about the deep ocean in particular.
Edith Widder, chief executive officer and senior scientist at the Ocean Research and Conservation Association said, “There must be many animals, possibly large animals, down there that we don't know about”.Over the last several decades, scientists have found some bizarre and huge creatures dwelling in the deep, such as the megamouth shark, a filter feeder that grows up to 18 feet (5 meters) long. Only dozens have ever been seen since they were discovered in the 1970s .
A Fangtooth, photographed at about 2,600 feet (800 m.) in California's Monterey Bay. This fish's fierce appearance belies its size — it's only about 5 inches (12 centimeters) long. But thanks to its huge mouth and teeth, a fangtooth can grab and eat fish and squid almost its own size.
Ctenophore is sometimes called a "sea gooseberry." Unlike medusa (what most people think of as jellyfish), ctenophores have sticky tentacles that capture small animals and particles, but do not sting their prey.
A red lobate ctenophore. Fanciful gelatinous organisms like this one are far more plentiful in the deep sea than previously suspected.
