These are olds rather than news, but I only discovered this today and it is fascinating.
A team of international scientists have studied Antarctic deep sea life and found the most bizarre sea creatures.
Of course sea creatures always tend to be somewhat more bizarre and alien than land-dwelling creatures, but these things are even more alien - like the things in the picture above, plankton eating creatures, apparently. So beautiful!
My favourite, however, was a spidery thing that has the greatest swimming style.
A news clip:
