Monsters of the deep: Tiny sea creatures that never see sunlight look like they're from another planet

Monsters of the deep: Tiny sea creatures that never see sunlight look like they're from another planet | Mail Online: "They look like monsters from another planet. But far from inhabiting some alien world light-years from ours, these frightening looking creatures exist at the bottom of Earth's deepest oceans.

Astonishing new pictures of Polychaetes, or scale worms, show how they have evolved to survive the intense pressures more than 1,000 meters below the water's surface, where the sun's rays never penetrate.

And it is hoped discoveries from this region could help shed light on the possibility of life existing on other planets."
