Those random-looking fish in the deep sea

On the deep sea floor where the sun cannot shine, animals grow very casually.

The following types of fish are typical deep-sea fish. Some of them look so weird that they hardly look like creatures on earth, and they even appear as aliens.

1. Blobfish

It lives in the deep sea between 600 and 1,200 meters, because the pressure here is hundreds of times higher than sea level. In order to adapt to the ultra-high pressure, the blobfish has evolved its body’s flesh. Very fluffy.

As a result, it swelled up like this after being fished ashore.

Blobfish even made a cameo appearance as an alien in Men in Black.

2. The silver ax fish

lives in seawater at a depth of 50 meters to 1,500 meters. They are small deep-sea fish, with a body length of 4-10 cm.

In order to adapt to the pressure of the seafloor, their bodies are extremely compressed laterally and become a flat shape similar to an ax head, so they are called silver ax fish. Because the light at the bottom of the sea is dim, the eyes of silver ax fish are tube-shaped, which can collect the weakest light to ensure that they can see the objects in front of them clearly.

3. Feather sharks

Commonly found underwater at a depth of 50-200 meters, and can dive as low as 1,500 meters. Their bodies are thinner than other types of sharks. It is long and twists back and forth when swimming on the bottom of the sea, like a huge sea snake.

Feathered sharks are characterized by no fixed breeding season and a long gestation period. A female shark will not give birth to a baby shark until three and a half years into pregnancy. Looking at it this way, Nezha could be the reincarnation of the feather shark.

4. Whip fishing

They live in seawater at a depth of 1,500 meters to 2,500 meters.

This kind of fish is a natural fisherman. There is a thin line on their head that is longer than the body. This line may be more than 4 times as long as the body. There is a thread at the head of the line. A light emitter that emits low light. This thin line has the effect of luring prey. When hunting, the whip fisher will stop quietly in the sea while shaking the thin line, waiting for the prey to take the bait.

5. Batfish

It has a flat body and lives on the seabed at a depth of 2,000 to 3,000 meters.

Look at its profile, isn’t it cute?

It’s not so cute from another angle.

If you suddenly find such a red lip in the dark sea water, you might be frightened.
