7 bizarre creatures in the deep sea

On September 14, Guardian magazine (UK) introduced the unique images and characteristics of 7 species of bizarre sea creatures living in deep sea areas.

The horrible, ugly body shape, 'knowing' prey camouflage or 'injecting' deadly toxins are common features commonly found in deep-sea 'residents'.

The sharp weapon for hunting of deep-sea fish Anoplogaster cornuta has sharp fangs. This fangling fish lives at a depth of nearly 500m, has a hideous body shape, its body is about 15.24cm long but has a large head and wide mouth that easily catches small fish.

Meanwhile, there are unique hunting weapons in the anemone Actinoscyphia aurelia, serrated tentacles shaped like the Venus flytrap on land. When the prey unfortunately 'sticks' in, the tentacles immediately close and inject poison to kill the prey.

Nestled under Australian coral reefs, the demon face fish Synanceia verrucosa is disguised as a rough stone. If the diver tramples on his body, he can die quickly without emergency after 2 hours.

Moon fish Mola mola has a special behavior that usually floats near the sea surface to absorb the rays of the sun. This is the most fertile fish - up to 300 million eggs. As adults, the moonfish is about 3m long and weighs 1.400kg so it is nicknamed the heaviest bone fish in the sea. Despite its enormous size, this fish is friendly to humans.

Without the fangs of powerful fangs like deep-sea fishes, the Galiteuthis phyllura glass squid has another secret to help it survive when it lives in the deep, black sea that is transparent and capable of glowing. biological. When the enemy is detected, the eyes of the ink emit dazzling light and disappear quickly.

In the 'dumbo octopus' - the nickname of the Grimpoteuthis octopus - there is a strange body shape. They are two small 'ears' (while other non-'octopus' octopus species) work together with tentacles that can perform fanciful dancing in the deep sea floor. The octopus was discovered at a depth of 2,000 meters off the coast of Oregon in northwestern United States.

Another 'resident' that is difficult to detect in deep waters is Mitsukurina owstoni goblin shark , which can develop body length up to 3.7m. Its exceptionally long nose has an electric field sensing body that makes it easy to detect prey. When a shark finds its prey, it suddenly jaws out, and uses its tongue-like muscles to suck in prey.
