		[#008000][font "Arial"][size 2]The tsunami that took the lives of so many people was caused by a massive crevice that opened up in the ocean floor, or rather a giant chunk of the ocean floor fell into the earth (I don’t think underwater earthquake is entirely accurate).  As we know, oceans are deep-so deep that we have little idea what’s down there because the enormous pressure and the absence of light.  It was at this extreme depth that an unimaginable amount of ocean water fell into the crevice.  It was the recoil of this “dropping of water” that sent the waves outward in all directions, like a shock wave.  [/size][/font][/#008000] 
[font "Arial"][size 2][#008000]            Only these waves carried with it a sample of what lies at that unknowable depth.  These are pictures of just a few of these creatures that were brought ashore by the tsunami.  These are all previously unknown.   [/#008000][/size][/font]

		Awesome photos Dryrod.  I'm glad they reside in the deepest of depths, wouldn't want to be swimming in the surf with any of those critters..
