Nine strange underwater divine beasts!
1. Déjà vu
1. Nipple anemone Entamaea quadricolor
【Region】A type of anemone in the Indo-Pacific Ocean.
【Color】Rose, orange, red and green.
[Morphology] They can be up to 30 cm in diameter, and they grow like this in order to receive more sunlight.
A lot like a pacifier isn't it? But isn't it more like something we often use?
2, omelette jellyfish Phacellophora camtschatica is also known as Medusa
【Region】 Distributed in temperate waters, from the Gulf of Alaska to Chile, the Eastern Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, it is relatively abundant in Monterey Bay
【Form】Omelette jellyfish shape umbrella is butterfly-shaped flattened disc-shaped, diameter 60 cm,
Omelette jellyfish
[Habits] Unlike most jellyfish, omelette jellyfish can move themselves by swinging the "egg white" part, and do not completely rely on the flow of water to drift.
It is said that it is very difficult to breed this jellyfish in captivity, but a Swiss zoo said in 2010 that it successfully cultivated this small jellyfish, so it should be widely available soon, you can see it in the aquarium, of course, if you can't wait, you can also lay an egg directly in the water.
3. Harp sponge Chondrocladia lyra
【Area】Carnivorous sponges at depths of 3300 to 3500 meters below the California coast.
【Morphology】 This sponge evolved to form a unique branch structure, thereby increasing the body area exposed to ocean currents and increasing the probability of catching prey.
【Habit】 Ordinary sponges feed on bacteria and water-filtered organic matter, and this sponge branch is covered with barbs, which can trap small crustaceans, and then wrap the prey with a thin body membrane and slowly digest the prey.

Second, the appearance of the unique chapter
1. Droplet fish Psychrolutes marcidus
【Habits】 The hatching method of the droplet fish is also different, the female lays the eggs into the shallow sea and then lies motionless on the eggs until the juveniles hatch.
Water drop fish
【Area】Living in the deep sea below 600-1200 meters
Since the atmospheric pressure there is dozens of times the surface of the sea, the maw loses its role. In order not to sink, they accumulate a large amount of gel in the tissue, making the density smaller, and once fished out of the water - it collapses, appearing so sad.
Of course, they may also be sad because they are dying, and since marine fisheries are still a way to pull a huge net to kill everything, the fish is already endangered.
The Ugly Animal Preservation Society in the UNITED KINGDOM hosted an online poll for the world's ugliest animals, and the dripfish living in the depths of the ocean won the prize with a high number of votes.
Of course, don't think that he looks so ugly that no one will eat him.
2. Red-lipped batfish Ococephalus darwini
【Region】Living in the Lapagos Islands
[Form] Hence the name Siyi has bright red lips, but more specially it has four "legs" and is regarded as one of the ugliest fish species in the world. It has a large head and "walks" on the bottom of the sea with pectoral fins.
【Habits】The staple foods are shrimp, software animals, small fish, crabs and worms.
It is a kind of batfish, and the average batfish does not grow like this
Everyone said that they didn't look like our Concubine Xi
Concubine Xi Guifei: I just said that everything like me will be dragged down, and the staff will be killed!
3. Devouring the eel Gulper Eel
【Region】Up to 5,000-6,000 feet (1,524-1,829 meters), worldwide
【Form】Small eyes, large mouth, slender body (like some kind of life utensils?). ）。 It has no movable upper jaw, and the huge jaw is loosely attached to the head, and it can easily swallow animals larger than it. Since there are no ribs and the stomach is very elastic, it can be stretched out to lay down the prey. However, do not think that it mainly eats large animals, its main food is still slowly swimming small fish and shrimp, etc., when eating a large meal is still very small.
Have you ever seen a bigger mouth?
Well, the picture is just what I casually found, but it is more like Shu Qi and Yao Chenna, don't guess.
And then next
Third, with a special skill
1. Hatchetfish
【Basic Information】It inhabits the deep sea of 200 to 1,000 meters and covers all tropical and temperate seas.
Axefish
【Aerobatics】Axefish are the only fish that can "fly", unlike the gliding of flying fish in the juvenile pie, they quickly swing their pectoral fins when flying, flying like hummingbirds. Wild axefish can jump out of the water and fly several meters away to avoid predators.
2, Kaku 鮟鱇 Ceratioidei
【Region】It generally inhabits the water depth of 500 to 2000 meters in the middle layer of the ocean
[Habits] These horned trout live in the depths of the ocean hundreds of kilometers deep and dark, where food is scarce and fish mouths are scarce, so it is difficult to meet another of the same kind, not to mention asking for contact. In order to perpetuate their race, they used their imagination to develop a very peculiar breeding method.
When the Lun family was a child, they were very cute
Scientists are salvaging the horned trout, most of them are girls!! There are very few men!! Everyone is not very envious of this kind of life.
[Stunt] Later, it was found that male fish are born with developed visual and olfactory organs, and then they see the female fish, they bite on it and then do not let go, after the combination, most of the male's organs and body structure are degraded, leaving only the reproductive system, and then the female fish is wrapped up in the sperm that is always ready.
3. Sunfish malla
【Basic information】The newly hatched sunfish is only about 2 mm, but it is wide in size, with a primitive tail fin and a large pectoral fin. It can reach a length of 3.3 meters and weigh 1,900 kg; this record also makes it the heaviest teleost fish.
Don't look at him so big, he is actually a close relative of the bulging pufferfish.
There are also some countries that call the sunfish
[Stunt] It is the creature that lays the most eggs in the world at one time. Several orders of magnitude higher than normal fish, it kills a variety of terrestrial vertebrates, not to mention humans who row one or two eggs at a time.
The sunfish are stupid and not very good at swimming, and are often eaten by other fish. The reason why it is not extinct is because of its strong fertility, a female fish can produce about 25 million to 300 million eggs at a time, is it to give birth to all that is eaten.
There was an aquarium in California that used to have one, and then he spent only 15 months, growing from 24 kilograms to 399 kilograms by eating small fish and shrimp, almost 1.8 meters. In the end, the aquarium could not be loaded, and it could only be transported back to sea by helicopter.
