In honor of our month celebrating the polar seas, we bring you a list of the weirdest and wildest facts about some Arctic and Antarctic creatures. Feast your eyes on these spectacular animals that inhabit our coldest places.

Sadly, these reefs are meeting premature deaths due to some serious threats that need to be addressed.
