The 17 Creepiest Sea Creatures
Love swimming in the ocean? After seeing these gross photos you won't! You might get the rare chance to see a crusty right whale on a whale watching trip, but most of these creepy creatures live far below the surface, where they have creepy babies and do creepy things.
