VIDEO: These Are the Most Mysterious Creatures Ever Caught on Camera

The world is filled with a lot of creatures that we don’t yet understand and some that we haven’t even seen.

But every once in a while such an interesting and creepy creature is caught on camera and we get to see it and study it and try and guess what it is.

In the forest, on the streets or in the ocean, there are numerous fascinating creatures lurking around and even though we are able to see them on camera, some of them are still a mystery and we can’t figure out exactly what sort of creature they are.

According to buzzhubb.net, just by taking one look at the frilled shark, you can’t help but think that it’s an extraordinary creature.

This truly magnificent prehistoric species dates back to around eighty million years ago. As you can imagine, it is incredibly rare and gets its name from its six pairs of gill slits make it appear like a French collar.

Unlike most shark species, its mouth is located just below their nose and holds an estimated 25 rows of three hundred needle sharp teeth.

No one has ever observed it feeding, though it is believed they must feed off small fish especially since they are a deep water shark generally swimming near the bottom of the ocean at depths of up to 4,000 feet.

They can be spotted in places such as Australia, New Zealand, South East Asia, West Africa, Chile and the Caribbean very recently.

A six-furlong frilled shark (which seems to be the average length of them) was caught in Australia.

As you can imagine, fishermen had no idea what they had accidentally caught and the same goes for one captured by fishermen off the coast of Japan.

Every effort was made to keep this one alive but sadly it died. They are already extremely rare and what doesn’t help is that they are believed to have the longest gestation period of any other creature taking as long as three and a half years of pregnancy until birth.

This is why the species is labeled as threatened. In reality, there is no answer to how many of these sharks right exist. Since they live deep down in the ocean, this figure cannot be measured with great detail.

Dominican octopus is quite a recent discovery first being spotted in 1998 off the coast of Indonesia and is a true master of disguise.

Unlike many animals who can camouflage themselves to blend in with their environment, this octopus can actually change its self to mimic a number of different species, the only known marine animal to do so.

Its adapted this ability by living in shallow waters, leaving extremely vulnerable to predators.

So in order to protect itself it can transform from a regular-looking octopus into an array of different poisonous creatures to fend off attackers, but this also works as a way to fall prey into believing it a less threatening creature only to devour them once they get close enough.

A venomous old lion fish, sea anemones, sea snakes and jellyfish are just a few things it has been witnessed morphing into.

It will pull all its arms in and completely flat his body into the same shape.

The mimic octopus can make these transformations due to the fact they have no rigid elements to their structure and therefore are able to bend into these intelligent shapes.

Another interesting fact is a female mimic octopus can lay up to 200,000 eggs which she hangs from the ceiling and cares for the eggs until they hatch. During this time she will not eat and as soon as eggs hatch she will die.
