Russian deep-sea fisherman shares photo of nightmare creature he netted
Russian deep-sea fisherman Roman Fedortsov decided earlier this year that he could no longer keep the mysteries of the ocean a secret.
Earlier this year, Fedortsov, who works on a fishing trawler in Murmansk, a port city in the far northwest region of Russia, began posting photographs of his bizarre catches on Twitter to scare us out of swimming forever for the whole world to enjoy.
In his travels, Fedortsov has encountered this teeth thing.

He's even stumbled across this terrifying underwater spider.
Кроме рыбы в #трал попадают и такие создания. Надеюсь не ядовитый:) #фото_с_борта_судна#промысел#Баренцево_море#траулер#работаpic.twitter.com/IZZ8Q88CCi

While The Moscow Times seems to believe most deep-sea fishers would simply shrug at these pictures, "given the variety of creatures regularly pulled up in nets," as non-deep-sea fishermen, we can attest that they are indeed, horrifying.
