TGIF and welcome to another installation of our Friday Smorgasbord. We have some pretty cool stuff today including rare footage of ghost sharks, asteroids vs. oceans, whales vs. sharks, fish vs. powerlines and more.
Ghost Shark
If you had a retractable penis on your forehead, you might not want to be seen too much either, but thanks to the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute we have this awesome video of a ghost shark. Also called chimaeras, ghost sharks are dead-eyed, wing-finned fish related to sharks and rays.
鲸鱼与鲨鱼
无人机飞行员斯莱特·摩尔（Slater Moore）在相机上捕捉了罕见的景象：两只成年的女杀手和两只犊牛在加利福尼亚蒙特利湾（Monterey Bay）中撕裂了一条仍在伸展的鲨鱼。在相机上捕获这种特殊类型的杀手鲸，称为海上杀手鲸，这是很少见的，而且捕捉一只饮食甚至更少。
小行星和海洋不Mix
What would happen if an asteroid landed in on of our oceans? The data scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory recently build a model to show would happen if an asteroid struck the ocean, and its pretty spectacular. Devastating, but beautiful nonetheless.
Surfs Up!
Gotta love late news. It appears a wave measuring at over 62 feet high in the North Atlantic has broken the record for the tallest wave ever measured by a buoy, the World Meteorological Organization said Tuesday. You start thinking about all the crazy December weather causing it, but they were a little late to the party as the 62.3-foot wave was recorded by a buoy back on Feb. 4, 2013 in the North Atlantic Ocean between Iceland and the United Kingdom after a particularly strong cold front brought intense 50-mph winds into the area.

Something Fishy in Seattle
Something fishy about south Seattle outage: Bird dropped fish on power lines causing 2 hr outage for 172 customers. Power back now.

When power was knocked out in a part of Seattle, the team sent out to restore power found something pretty interesting — an electrocuted fish right below the line that was knocked out. The Seattle City Light crew investigating the power outage figured that one of the eagles or ospreys that routinely hunt in the nearby Duwamish River must have dropped it.
