When you wish upon a starfish.

All of your dreams come true.

Especially if it's this giant starfish

that was just discovered

in the icy waters of the Antarctic.

30,000 creatures were collected 

and many of them are brand new!

Those giant starfish measure 24" in length.

creepy and amazing at the same time!

Here are some more of the critters 

they found at the bottom of the sea.

I feel as though I have seen this guy before, 

so he may not be new.  

But he was 1 of 18 different species of octopus that was found.

This frightening fish is called a stareater.

Like other deep sea fish, that little stringy

extension lights up in the depths and lures 

in prey.

This is an amphipod, kind of shrimpy looking.

he was recently seen on this trip, but was first 

discovered in 1994.
