The Great Lakes are host to a multitude of creatures and habitats unique for only specific species of plants and animals. We all know about the Sturgeon, the bass, and the whitefish. But what about the lampreys? The Fourspine Stickleback? Have you ever heard of an Aquatic Moth?

Well, they, along with some other strange water creatures, make the Great Lakes their home, and trust me... some of these creatures are the stuff of nightmares.
