Man Asks Reddit to Define Horrible Sea Monster, Learns its a Giant Isopod

The post reads, “I work for a Sub-sea Survey Company, recently this beast came up attached to one of our ROVs. It measures a wee bit over 2.5 feet head to tail, and we expect it latched onto the ROV at roughly 8,500 feet depth. Unfortunately, the e-mail that these pictures were attached to came from a contractor, and the ship he was operating from (and therefore location) is unknown, so I can’t tell you what part of the Earth this beast was living.”

The pictures reveal the creature to be a giant isopod, a large crustacean that dwells in deep Atlantic and Pacific waters. This particular creature is a Bathynomus giganteus, a deep-sea scavenger that feeds on dead whales, fish and squid.

And they say it’s safe to go into the water.

Tuesday Tease: The Savage Tale of SENSE & SENSIBILITY & SEA MONSTERS

It is no small matter to detail that this is of great interest to us. When Sense & Sensibility & Sea Monsters was first posed before our wandering eyes, we must say it did not seem a thing to our liking. Upon viewing the short moving picture tease that sits above these words we must say our opinion has changed for the better.

Blending the beloved words of Jane Austen with the..ahem… sensibilities… of the slime-producing, illicit tendrils of creeping terrors that lurk it the deep is nothing less than genius! We expect nothing less from the makers of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.

Regrettably, the tome is currently “out of stock.” However, we have great confidence that Quirk Classics warehouse stores will, once again, be brimming with multiple productions of this thought provoking work.
