These pictures are from the book “The Deep” by Claire Nouvian.

Combining the latest scientific discoveries with astonishing color imagery, The Deep takes readers on a voyage into the darkest realms of the ocean. Revealing nature’s oddest and most mesmerizing creatures in crystalline detail, The Deep features more than two hundred color photographs of terrifying sea monsters, living fossils, and ethereal bioluminescent creatures, some photographed here for the very first time. Accompanying these breathtaking photographs are contributions from some of the world’s most respected researchers that examine the biology of deep-sea organisms, the ecology of deep-sea habitats, and the history of deep-sea exploration.

   It is not what kind of creature we will see in future or in any unknown place of this world. The importance is, maybe and I am sure some of them are the only DRUGS for some diseases. Nobody knows the MILK THYISTLE. But it is a good drug for liver. In fact a LIVER TONIC.
   I am sure these creatures help us to be more and more alive in this world.

   Mohsen, where I come from, you can get milk thistle in all the health food stores. Thanks for the tip, I’ll pick some up.

   It’s amazing what evolution will do, isn’t it? Some of these look like something Hieronymous Bosch would’ve painted.
