The eyeless shrimp, the black-faced demonic fish . are creatures that are frightening but possess strong vitality in the crater.

The vigor of the animals on the seabed

Speaking of volcanoes, we often think of the deadly heat and the crimson lava, destroying any life as they pass by.

However, it is only a picture of a small number of volcanoes emerging on the ground. There are hundreds of volcanoes on the sea floor that are still smoldering and contrary to their bad reputation, they even nourish the life around it.

In fact, this hell zone exists in a typical ecosystem, residing in the area around the seabed volcanoes. More specifically, more and more new species are discovered. Which are these creatures, let's find out later.

1. Shrimp without eyes

In 2012, scientists conducted the deepest volcanic expedition on the Caribbean bottom and discovered a shrimp species that existed in what could be considered the "hottest planet" .

The deepest volcanic region of the seabed includes thousands of 'black chimneys' thousands of feet high, including a chimney under a depth of 5,000 meters below sea level - the deepest volcanic chimney in the world.

Despite the tremendous depth and heat of the heat radiating from the Earth's center, Rimicaris hybisae shrimp can still live well. Specifically, Rimicaris hybisae still exists in water environment up to 450 degrees Celsius - 4.5 times the boiling temperature and still not cooked.

However, Rimicaris hybisae has no eyes to match the evolutionary process and the harsh living environment on the seabed. Instead, this shrimp has a light receptor on its back that helps navigate in low light conditions.

2. Devil face black fish

In a study of an ancient underground volcanic region in the region, Australian scientists have found a fairly small sized black-skinned fish near a volcano on the ocean floor. According to the description, this animal possesses a pair of long fangs with a size smaller than human fingers.

Although there is a lot of controversy about whether this fish has many similarities with the black arowana - the scary ocean monster of the ocean, scientists have confirmed that it is a completely new species.

The researchers believe that this fish is a resident of volcanic waters deep in the sea floor and they live thanks to the high acidic warm water environment here. Surveys continue to be conducted to determine the identity of this fish.

3. Feathered crab

A new genus of Yeti crabs has just been discovered by American biologists with a small round body like a spider and white feathers.

This crab, called Kiwa tyleri , is found at 2,600m deep in the seabed. They live near the crater, next to the hydrothermal vents that spew out water up to 400 degrees Celsius - different from their distant relatives of Yeti crabs.

The scientists realized that this crab takes advantage of the mixture of hot and cold ocean currents to survive near the enormous heat generated from the volcano. They also develop their 'fur ' on their chest and legs to attract and capture bacteria - the main food source.

4. Hammerhead shark

In a recent study of the operation of the Solomon Islands submarine volcano, scientists were surprised to capture the image of a hammerhead swimming around the volcanic haze. active.

Located in the Pacific volcanic belt, this Kavachi volcano is one of the most powerful underground volcanoes in the world. The waters around Kavachi are very acidic and carry deadly heat, making it impossible to appear large individuals.

Besides sharks, scientists also noted the appearance of stingrays . This discovery raises many questions in biology. Researchers debate whether or not animals that normally only live in this cold water have evolved to live around the craters or whether their occurrence is a warning sign. an eruption?

Either way, these findings are really important for biologists especially in the marine life. It proves that the deep sea still holds countless mysteries that people can hardly imagine.
