Just some underloved and overlooked deep sea creatures 💙

🌊 First up is this deranged muppet - The Deep Sea Telescopefish

🌊 Hatchetfish - they’re actually really fun at parties

🌊 The Sarcastic Fringehead - cool outfit, horrible personality

🌊Siphonophores - asexual, mostly keep to themselves

🌊 Barreleye fish - lights on but no one’s home

🌊 Vampire Squid - I’m weak for those blue eyes

🌊 The Frilled Shark - excellent hugger

🌊 Giant Isopod - always plotting

🌊 The Umbrella Gulper Eel - bet he’d beat Joey Chestnut in a hot dog eating challenge any day

🌊 The Goblin Shark - sensitive about the size of his nose

🌊 Deep Sea Anglerfish - this is a female, the males are tiny little guys that latch onto the females by biting them, they then meld with the female and basically become a spare set of gonads so the female can reproduce as she pleases. Love that for her

🌊 The ultra black Pacific blackdragon- soul eater

🌊 We’ll end it with the Sea Angel who was captured on film living under the ice of the White Sea in Russia

Squart here bringing you the goods from the Twilight Zone. Things are starting to get freaky where the sunlight doesn't reach.

-Coelacanths were thought to be extinct for a while, but scientists found living specimens chilling in the deep, relatively physically unchanged from 400 million years ago.

-Cuttlefish have a unique bone in their body to control buoyancy called the cuttle bone.

-Goblin shark jaws can shoot out to catch their prey.

-The telescope fish can reach about 20 cm in length, thankfully not more. Can you imagine a 6 foot beast with that face swimming after you?
