Tripod fish eyeballs ROV at 1443m deep

[snakeinthereeds]

"A t 1443m, this tripod fish (Bathypterois sp.) swims lazily away from the ROV, then decides to turn and have a look.".. only to get dirt in it's eyes.

[ztSHOCK]

Wondrous creature.

[jimmimak]

Imagine if these things got onto land before the 4-limbed fish, then reptiles, birds and mammals would have 3 limbs instead :)

[NotDavidM]

lol at the end with all the muck flying at him, he was pisssed.

[rujtj]

The fish was like: "The fuck are you following me?!"

[trixya357]

WOW!, my teacher was thinking about putting a camera on our ROV, but this is awesome!

[marekholandia1991]

why 3 shadows??

[rikkeeked]

This is a tripod and 3 more invisible tripods

[ossmbc]

@rikkeeked

u mean 3 hidden spotlights !!

[Cohonees]

Thanks to this fish I now take fantastic photographs!

[bartschoorl]

Oh no! The ROV is going to run it over!

[MrMagazgz]

However, deep sea researchers have succeeded in surprising the fish enough to make it swim; when it swims, the tripods seem to be quite flexible.

[MrMagazgz]

The tripod fish, Bathypterois grallator, is a bathypelagic (deep sea) fish named for the long extensions of its pelvic and lower caudal fins, on which it stands on the sea floor.

[matrixhed]

Looks like something straight out of a Salvador Dali painting.

[fishrstupid]

[Oxfordless]

people got too confident about their knowledge. We know nothing about so many different, fascinating things.

[adamfasinger]

Beautiful

[killamonkey]

And to think such a beautiful creature instantly zapped into existence 6000 years ago.

[heavypizza]

[yz238]

Absolutely surreal

[ovinophile]

Tripod fish is tired of swimming now. Must rest.

[Psythik]

"HDD 99% Used"?

Time for a bigger hard drive.

[KLowD9x]

Fish to ROV: "You see that back one? Yeah, that's not a foot."

*ROV kicks up sand*

Haters gonna hate.

[LiberatedPenny]

@m4n10r How could this be fake!? If there is a whale with a horn what is weird about this!?

[chonnes]

@m4n10r : So you possess the skills to determine the video is a fake, but you lack the ability to communicate even a single reason why. How very expected of you.

[vt1994]

[fastfoodA]

Nice CGI, but not good enough

[4opProductions]

@fastfoodA Ye ye. Do you have any idea how many hours you have to spend making this in a 3d program? And why do that when this fish is known for 150 years and there are tons of stock footage of it?

[msndokaralho]

Omg it's starting! The aliens arrived!

[acocobar]

i wanna get one of those stuffed, and use it as a tripod for my camera ;D

[UnitedTulips]
