      Typhlonectes natans.
      My best photo of one of these creatures so far. They had just been fed some earthworms, which were consumed very quickly.

      I am usually not squemish with animals - snakes and insects don't bother me - but this animal kind of grosses me out. (Then again, maybe looking at me would gross him or her out ;) ).

      @Arizona Docent That's doubtful: they are effectively blind. But I understand your reaction to this creature: I have to tell myself that hagfishes are even uglier and nastier.
