Leviathan

O Lord, how manifold are your works!
In wisdom you have made them all;
the earth is full of your creatures.
²⁵ Yonder is the sea, great and wide,
creeping things innumerable are there,
living things both small and great.
²⁶ There go the ships,
and Leviathan that you formed to sport in it. Psalm 104:24-26

It has been suggested that we know more about aspects of space and the geography of the moon than the depths of our oceans. Recent attempts to "boldly go where no one has gone before" in the oceans have revealed scores of new species, often in locations presumed unable to support life.

Even massive creatures such as the giant squid are so elusive that only a few have been found, and they were dead. Giant squid are large and fierce enough to do battle with some of the whale species and can grow to over 18 metres in length. A Japanese scientific team managed to take some photos of a giant squid about a kilometre below the surface. Cool.

The justifiable concern is that we humans are guilty of the hubris of exploiting the environment we don't yet know. We are often plunderers and proud of it. If we have trouble snapping a shot of a sea monster 60 feet in length, what hope is there for many other less photogenic creatures?
