Who needs extraterrestrials when we already have millions of alien-like creatures crawling, scuttling, and swimming across the planet? Some species of the marine life we're spotlighting today could, indeed, pass for fictitious sci-fi movie monsters... but cuter, at least in the case of sea turtles.

Meet the 7 Species of Sea Turtles
Hard-to-believe fact about the leatherback species of sea turtles: the largest ones can grow to six feet and 2,000 pounds. Sad fact about all seven species of sea turtles: every one is listed under the Endangered Species Act.

Characteristics of Cnidarians
Pray you don't fall victim to a cnidarian. These (usually) carnivorous creatures capture crustaceans with their tentacles, then inject the hapless meal-to-be with a paralysis-causing venom. Ouch.

12 Fun Facts About Nudibranchs
