Amazing creatures that live in the deep sea
Start writing... Man is now about to touch Mars. The moon is about to touch again. But not much is known about the deep ocean around our planet.Deep-sea astronauts are just as lucky as some astronauts who go into space. Despite knowledge of deep-sea fish and other organisms, deep-sea creatures are still being explored.Vampire Squid.This animal is very attractive. But it is very rare to see this with the naked eye. They survive at a depth of about three thousand meters under the sea. The eye of this animal is amazing. This animal can also look like an umbrella.As well as being able to turn from a different angle and look like another creature. It must have got that name because it looks like a vampire bat. This animal is often found in the tropics and associated deep seas. This is how it looks.Can live at very low oxygen levels without any problems depending on.Pacific Viperfish.This animal is about 1 foot [30 cm] long. It has a mouth that can be opened wide compared to the body. It has very sharp teeth like thorns. This animal lives in the deep sea from two hundred to one thousand five hundred meters. Ordinary divers cannot see these animals. These animals can be seen on special deep sea voyages.Wolffish.Found in normal water, this fish can live up to 600 meters deep. It eats small animals such as small mollusks and shrimp. This wolf is often found on the Scandinavian coast and the Mediterranean Sea. This fish has a large set of front teeth. As a result, this fish looks like an animal with a set of human teeth.Giant Tube Worms.These are a kind of worm-like species that live in large colonies. These worms live in large numbers in the cold, low oxygen and dark environment of the deep sea. They are found in the deep sea from 2000 to 3600 meters.These tube worms often live in deep-sea areas rich in minerals. Because they absorb the mineral by bacteria.If these worm colonies are associated with volcanic eruptions under the sea, they will die without being able to withstand the high temperatures of the volcanic eruption. But it has been found that these re-emerge after recycling.Six-Gill Shark.This shark comes during the day in Vancouver, Canada. But they can go up to 2500 meters at night in search of food. It can grow up to 4.8 meters in length and feed on other sharks, crabs, seals and small sea creatures. These animals are also considered to be living fossil fish. This is because the shape of this fish is similar to the ancient fish found in ancient fossils.Giant Spider Crab.This giant spider crab is the largest arthropod of the genus Arthropods. This crab can live up to a depth of 300 meters. These crabs are mostly found in the Sea of Japan. Large crabs up to 3.7 m in size are found. One of their ovaries is more than 1.5 meters long.It is also known as the spider crab due to its long, thin claws. They are different from ordinary crabs. In some cases the total weight of this animal may be more than 20 kg.Frilled Shark.People once believed that creatures lived only in the upper part of the ocean. But today it is known that many creatures live at depths of several hundred feet below the water level. The majority of these species are diverse fish. We call these deep sea fish. Deep-sea fish come in a variety of colors depending on the depth at which they live.

Road Trip Lessons
Sam stared out the car window with a vacant expression, one earbud in, trying to ignore the world around him. Was this really happening? Were his parents really dragging him on a weekend road trip across the Peak to Peak Scenic Byway just for some “bonding time?” This was a setup. Sam didn’t want anything to do with his parents. He wanted to spend some time with his friends on Pearl Street, but no, Mom and Dad had to yank him out of Boulder to take him on a tour of “interesting historical landmarks.” Great, so basically a bunch of old, rotting buildings. It sounded like the trip of a lifetime.

The Wild Life On Your Door Step
When I first saw the title of this challenge 'Capture the Wild' I was quite attracted to the theme. The only problem was that I lived very far from any notable wild life, or at least I thought I did. One thing I have come to realise is that no matter where you live, there is always some form of notable wildlife a lot closer than you think, like right on your doorstep or even inside your house. In my case I even had a close encounter in my bed!

Voracious Life
I own a 900 sq. ft. house with a small, but lush backyard. Maybe it’s a first-time homebuyer thing, but I feel fully responsible for all the life on this tiny lot. I don’t use chemicals and I choose native plants for my garden. What more can I do, to influence the state of the globe? My only control is within the one tiny city lot with my name on it. Even with a bona fide field of dandelions I rarely see a true honeybee anymore.

Illustrious
My mind is a tinted incubator. It hatches different pigments of embryos divinely planted into it over a period of time. These embryos are ideas, topics, and experiences that were fed, nurtured and given life through my brilliant thoughts. These thoughts become words, carefully constructed and crafted with each syllable having a heartbeat of its own. I speak these words, and they grow arms and legs to position themselves in a precise formation on the piece of paper I stare at with each breath I take forming a new word… forming a new life… a new beginning…. The irises of my eyes project these words across horizons too far for the “human eye” to take notice of. Genres and styles flow through my veins and filter through my rogued heart for approval and editing. For these graphic reasons I have to keep an open mind… an open heart…. Moods for these compositions are set and can be changed instantly by a simple word or phrase. So, I must watch what I think, say, and write. These words lives could be someone’s death if I use them the wrong way. This gift… this power…. is not one taken lightly. It must be mastered and re-mastered with every “new beginning”…

The Path to Reconstruction
The human race has been the dominant species on the planet for hundreds of years & as the dominant species, we have a responsibility to ensure that the planet is well taken care of & that includes our beautiful blue oceans and all the animals that live within them. As a human, I've always been aware of the horrible things that have been done to the planet, & it has saddened me deeply & I've always tried to do my part to help the planet as best as I could. When it comes to our oceans, the human race has treated them like they aren't important to the survival of the human race. We need oceans to provide us with the number one thing we need to most and that's water and the ocean also provides us with food and a beautiful otherworldly experience. So to do my part in helping heal the planet I plan on doing the following,

A Hawk's Eye View
I enjoy going for random country drives quite often. In fact, I live in a rural area so when I go to town I tend to enjoy those long drives and the time to think or listen to some music. It’s honestly really therapeutic and allows me the space to think. I’ve found through the years that these voyages, random and scheduled alike, have given me a lot of opportunities to see animal life that I normally wouldn’t see. I guess you could attribute that to being in the right place at the right time and choosing to venture just a little off the beaten path.

The Chipmunks of Mt. Howard, Oregon. Top Story - May 2021.
Northeast Oregon's Mt. Howard is a beautiful feature of the landscape--boasting views of Lake Wallowa and the valley where Chief Joseph and his people spent their summers. It is home to a variety of wildflowers, the steepest tram in North America, and what must be the most pampered family of chipmunks I've ever met.

Food for Chickens
Reducing our carbon footprint means reducing our waste. We, as a small family unit, do that by recycling, using refillable water bottles, and working to replace plastic kitchen containers with reusable glass. But what we also do, which seems to have the greatest impact for us, is care for a flock of poultry. My goal is to keep my family as healthy as possible. This means doing my best to take care of the Earth, too, so that it has the opportunity to help provide a healthier lifestyle for my family, as well as the rest of the world.

The snail's journey
I never found much beauty within England. Having travelled all over the world, explored so many cultures and environments, I found home to be rather drab. Far too green in my opinion. I have seen some beautiful animals on my travels, everything from a honey badger to a humpback whale and I truly believe I can find beauty in any animal on this planet.
