A TERRIFYING SQUID With Human-Like TEETH !!!<\/p>\n

Meet Promachoteuthis sulcus, a bizarre creature straight out of your nightmares.<\/p>\n

As you can see, this creature looks like it has freakishly human looking teeth. It's a species of promachoteuthid squid and only one specimen has been found to date. It was captured in the Southern Atlantic Ocean at a depth of 2,000m in 2007.<\/p>\n

Just imagine what else is lurking in our oceans!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
