25. Hmmm...I just went to Sea World today. Looks like something I should have seen there. Perhaps a toothless eel?! HA!

26. looking at the shape and gill placement in this picture, and a picture of mega mouth shark, it is pretty obivious that this is not one.

31. This is a frilled shark. It is very similar to ancient sharks from thousands of years ago. A bit of a living fossil. My 4 year old knows this because we read science books (for kids) and we've got one called Sea Creatures. There are lots of photos and this one is in the section on sharks. Megamouths are much, much larger and darker complected.

36. it looks like a cookie cutter shark. Even if it's not a cookie cutter shark, it's a small deep sea shark. And whoever said it's a megamouth, nemo looks like a megamouth about as much as this does. And it is NOT a moray eel - moray eels are Ursula's henchmen in the Little Mermaid (they look like nothing like this).

37. I think it is more reptilian than an aquatic creature.

21. It looks like some kind of hand puppet. Like someone made it out of a old sock and had a great imagination.
