Dolphins use sonar to detect vital organs which they attack to cause internal bleeding. They are one of the few animals along with their larger cousins, killer whales, that actively torture other animals with no intention of eating them. Killer whales are known to beach themselves in order to grab seals on land, after which they take them into the ocean and throw them around like rag dolls. There seems to be no reason for this behaviour, as they leave the body when bored.
The bite pressure of a great white shark is actually close to that of a humans, the teeth do all the work.
I love da animals.
"Loads of awesome underwater facts"

snakeheads would rape dolphins and whales. they just enjoy attacking anything and everything that moves. sometimes they eat em, most times they just bite off their tails and leave em be...![]()
I did not know about coral being used as bone replacements, thats mad.
Those hydrothermal vents you speak of are based upon extremophile bacteria which are able to chemosynthesise and start a food chain that isn't based on solar energy. Research into this has given scientists hope that similar life may exist on other planets seeing as the conditions these bacteria live in are inhospitable to most life.
Due to the increased oxygen in the atmosphere on earth around 300 million years ago, insects and arachnids were able to grow to sizes much bigger than todays standards. The giant scorpion pulmonoscorpius grew to around a metre in length, the dragonfly meganeura had a wingspan on 75cm and the centipede-like arthropleura was the largest land invertebrate of all time, reaching lengths of up to 2.6m.
Snakeheads are pretty small on average though, and only the giant snakehead is known to be aggressive to the point of being a danger to humans. They're not as mobile on land as made out to be either. Personally I'd be more scared of the goliath tiger fish.

These creatures are built to survive in the most violent currents, meaning their strong as fuck. They have been known to try and eat whole fish almost the same size as themselves, often ripping open their stomachs and dying in the process. They will eat anything tha moves.
Oh yeah... If i remember correctly sharks have two penises.
