The ocean is deep, scary, and filled with freaky things that can emerge from the depths at any moment. 


Last week, that freaky thing was an angler fish that divers filmed in shallow waters off the coast of Tenerife. This male version of the terrifying deep sea fish was much smaller than thalassophobia sufferers imagined, and the poor little guy went viral before dying outside of his natural habitat. 


But angler fish are not the only weird things in the ocean. Here are 13 other unexpected findings that have bubbled up from the deep.
