Our alligator-wrestling, vegemite-eating scientist comrades in Australia announced the discovery of 274 new species of sea creatures and 80 new seamounts, or undersea mountains, in waters off the coast of Australia.
"The richness of mollusc fauna found – such as snails, squid and octopus-type creatures – has been described by marine scientists as ‘astounding’ and requiring a complete rewrite of textbooks for this type of fauna."

i like how steve irwin appears to have the entire Australian outback inside of his submersible. is that what crocodile hunter heaven is like?
Yes, at least I hope this is how The Crocodile Hunter will spend eternity. His sub also contains a large venomous snake who, judging by the location of the speech bubble, has the ability to shout exclamations in an Australian accent.
