This picture captures just how unbelievably vast the ocean can be. If you are anything like me, this is scary!

It is stunning how large sea animals can be. This whale is massive and frightening, while still being mesmerizing at the same time.

Admittedly this is just kelp, but if we saw this in real life, we would run for the hills!

We have never seen an octopus this big. What would you do if one got this close?

I don’t like regular snakes on land, but it turns out I have to worry about them in the waters too?

I have no idea what that is, but if it lives in the water, then I'm never stepping into that body of water again.

This larger than life snake is bigger than anything I’ve seen on land.

Jellyfish are usually small. I can’t even imagine what Ι would do if I encountered any jellyfish of this size!

I am not comfortable swimming in any body of water that doesn’t have a bottom Ι can see. This would truly scare me from swimming in this area!

I've seen Jaws. I’ll stay on land for now.
The oceans, rivers, lakes, and all other forms of natural bodies of water are truly beautiful, but in them, there can be animals that are beyond our biggest dreams (or nightmares!). While these pictures presented above are genuinely stunning, we’ll be sticking to pools for now after seeing these images!
