    Greenland Shark

    Greenland sharks have the longest lifespan of any known vertebrate, estimated to be between 250 and 500 years. They are among the largest extant shark species, reaching a maximum confirmed length of 6.4 m (21 ft) long and weighing over 1,000 kg (2,200 lb). They reach sexual maturity at about 150 years of age, and their pups are born alive after an estimated gestation period of 8 to 18 years.

    Absolutely everything about them is interesting. And as far as an entity, they are a fantastic role model. The world would be a much better place if we were all more like the Greenland Shark.

        Then do orcas count? Because I just can’t think of anything from the depths I find that interesting, things just move so slow down there

        But I have orca facts for days

          Are you thinking about just those little bottom feeder guys on the sea floor? The deep sea has really fascinating creatures that you likely are very familiar with like the great white shark, vampire squid, ocean sunfish, giant squid, and the black seadevil! I dunno how deep orcas can dive, but maybe they do count as deep sea creatures if they spend a lot of time down there.

            If great white sharks count I think orcas would too

            But yeah… Those are cool and all, but it’s like asking me what my favorite kind of flower is. I see how they look cool, I see how others might get excited for them, but I’m just not that interested in them

            But orcas have many different languages and cultures. They swim across entire oceans. Some of them started sinking yahts (for what I’m convinced is based on understanding which humans are destroying the world), but they never harm humans (outside of the ones driven insane by confinement)

            They might actually be smarter than us, their brains are the most wrinkly in the world. They could have oral traditions going back as far as human history

              I totally get it. Orcas are cool as hell. I love that their grandmas are the bosses of their pods.

    It’s not a super creative or interesting answer, but I’d be lying if I said anything other than the giant squid. That’s gotta be one of the wildest most alien things on our planet. Squid are already fascinatingly weird and now you’re telling me there are squids the size of a horse that fight whales at the bottom of the ocean? Amazing. Please stay down at the bottom of the sea where I am not. I know the colossal squid is bigger, but it’s cool that the giant one is probably the basis of some of our most enduring myths of sea monsters and the name “giant squid” just rolls off the tongue really well

          I just described the movie Water Babies, one of the wildest kids movies I’ve ever seen, they’re all characters from that movie/acid trip.

          The entire film is just the hallucinations of a drowning kid and that’s not even a joke.
