I will second that, and add I would have liked to have seen more and skip the story on the Lake monsters.

Man there is so much that people don't even know is down their.

I tell you what, I am glad I am not a male angler fish :D


Good tip Greg :)

Just watched tonights on giant squid, interesting but IMO doesn't hold a light to that deep ocean stuff last night, for those that missed it here are some teasers :)

A salt water lake, 2000' under the ocean where the water doesn't mix with ocean water (super salinity) and actually has visable waves across the lake and shore lines.

Animals that live _only_ in water close to 200F with almost none to no oxygen and in sulpheric acid under a 1000psi pressure that die in normal water.

A self sustaining bio reef at 1.5 miles down that was started 18mths earlier with a dead whale carcus.

Shrimp that 'poop' time controlled blue flashing bombs in totally black ocean water.

A fish that breeds by having the male (1/10th the females size) chew into her side until he actually grows on her side. She then supplies all his food, blood and other needs and he is now nothing but a growth on her side (forever) supplying her sperm via blood flow.

A fish that is absolutly nothing but mouth with a glow in the dark dorsal to attract prey in an otherwise black depth.

Simply wild stuff down there!!

There really was alot in the deep water episode I wish I had taped it.

The blue colours and the almost lightning like strikes were cool, and how about the one critter, I think it was a type of copeopod that released depth charges to distract it's predators very cool.
