Our blue planet is chock full of amazing animals—from vibrant
mandarinfish to lithe
fur seals to
stingrays. But during this time of year we like to focus on the mysterious, frightening and downright creepy animals (all 100-percent amazing, of course) that you'll find at the Aquarium.
Followers on our social media channels (
Facebook,
Twitter,
Tumblr,
Google + and
Instagram) in 2014 were treated to some pictures of the creepiest of the creepy in the weeks leading up to Halloween. Here's a round-up of those impressive animals, all in one place. Some were chosen for their looks, some for their fierce reputation, some just
scream Halloween. Scroll and enjoy!

Chambered nautilus, hovers through dark waters with enormous eyes and
a tangle of tentacles |

fins and no fear |

 |
