According to Ocean Census, about 2,200 species are being discovered each year. Therefore, this recent news is truly exciting: a few weeks ago, scientists found over 100 new marine species in the Bounty Trough, New Zealand.

Some of the all-time weirdest and most wonderful deep sea creatures include the bloodybelly comb jelly, sea angel, sea pig, flapjack octopus, anglerfish, stargazer, blowfish, peacock mantis shrimp, pink see-through fantasia, frilled shark, nudibranch, Marrus orthocanna, leafy seadragon, yeti crab
