Humans rarely encounter frilled sharks, which prefer to remain in the oceans' depths, up to 5,000 feet (1,500 meters) below the surface. Considered living fossils, frilled sharks bear many physical characteristics of ancestors who swam the seas in the time of the dinosaurs. This 5.3-foot (1.6-meter) specimen was found in shallow water in Japan in 2007 and transferred to a marine park. It died hours after being caught.

The nightmarish fangtooth is among the deepest-living fish ever discovered. The fish's normal habitat ranges as high as about 6,500 feet (2,000 meters), but it has been found swimming at icy, crushing depths near 16,500 feet (5,000 meters). Fangtooth fish reach only about six inches (16 centimeters) long, but their namesake teeth are the largest, proportionate to body size, of any fish.

An orthodontist's dream, an Atlantic wolffish displays the hardware it uses to crush mollusks, shellfish, and sea urchins. These tough-looking predators swim as deep as 2,000 feet (600 meters) and range from the Scandinavian coast to Cape Cod to the Mediterranean.

The blob sculpin’s name may not be flattering but it does capture a bit of the animal’s essence. The 2-foot-long (60-centimeter-long) fish is rather reclusive and not often seen, but blob sculpins have been known to dote on their young. Scientists have observed males guarding rocky seafloor nesting sites, filled with hundreds of pale pink eggs, in mile-deep waters off the California coast.

Often mistaken for a jellyfish, the Portuguese man-of-war is actually made up of a colony of organisms working together. Its tentacles can extend 165 feet (50 meters) below the surface, although 30 feet (10 meters) is more the average.

Förlåt för många bilder, men detta är sjukt intressant!
Samt att alla inte är djuphavsfiskar.
Kommer nog aldrig mer bada i havet dock.

Creepy

thaihora: Förlåt? Ditt inlägg är ett av det mest värda i tråden, jätteintressant.

The Firefly Squid, Watasenia Scintillans

Haha tyckte den var läskig, om man bortser från texten

Varför är inte denna tråden mer populär?! :@ emo's alltså -.-

Håller med, den borde vara mer aktiv. Asintressant!

HAHAHA <3

Pistolräkan är ett av de coolaste djuren som finns.

Citat från Pansartax

Hade ett arbete om detta i gymnasiet! Personligen tyckte jag då att pelikanålen var bland de coolaste, mellan 1000-3000 meters djup.

kanske inte djuphavsdjur, men korallrevsdjur.
