Anyway, no one in the deep sea can see anyone, so we will all grow up at will.
At the unfathomable bottom of the ocean, there are ecosystems that we can't snoop on. There, some creatures are so eerie that a glance even makes your scalp tingle!
Above is a picture of a ghost shark (Hydrolagus cf. trolli), scientific name pointed nose blue silver mackerel. Because of its deep-sea and sensitive activity, it rarely appears in our lenses, and recently, an American scientific research institution released a newly taken image documenting this creature.
Ghost sharks often live in the deep sea of more than 2,000 meters, their skin is purple, and their eyes are emitting a faint cold light, which is not the most frightening - their heads are covered with "stitched" lines, like pieces of cut pieces of broken flesh. Scientists believe that these gullies on the skin may have the effect of sensory organs. Help them navigate through the dark deep sea.
Unless we dive into the deep sea, we rarely get a chance to see these strange-looking creatures.
But for the fishermen
These ugly-looking guys are "old friends."
Roman Fedortsov and the sunfish he caught
Roman Fedortsov, from northwestern Russia, has been engaged in fishing in the ice-free port of the Barents Sea for many years, and after work, he has posted photos of the strange fish he has caught on the Internet, scaring some vulnerable netizens.
For example, this hot-eyed frilled shark looks like an eel and has a ring of sharp teeth (note: those two holes are not eyes, but nostrils). The frilled shark is a primitive species and a very small number of "living fossils" in existence.
This is a ghost-like silver shark belonging to the family Of Udon, also known as the "Ghost Shark". The silver mackerel is famous for its wing-like fins and whip-like tail – Fedortsov takes this picture of the silver mackerel's eyes glowing green. Silver mackerel usually lives in the deep sea where five fingers are out of sight, and its eyes only shine when it encounters light. Like sharks and rays, silver mackerel is also a cartilaginous fish.
Most silver mackerel (ghost shark) have poisonous spines in front of their dorsal fins, so when encountering it, everyone should stay away and never touch it.
Even a well-informed fishing veteran like Fedortsov is intimidated by these oddly shaped fish!
For example, this strange alien-like fish, with an oversized jaw and sharp teeth, the fisherman said, "We are still arguing about what kind of ghost this is." ”
On Twitter, the crowd brainstormed. Some people think that this strange fish is a black soft jawed fish, which belongs to the deep-sea dragon fish in the family Megalodon.
This orange sea spider is a marine arthropod, about the size of a human palm. Except for the abdomen, the others are all slender legs. Sea spiders are primitive marine arthropods, and in polar waters, affected by "polarization giant disease," they become larger than elsewhere, and scientists can't explain why. The largest sea spider found so far has legs 25 cm long.
This terrifying monster fish with big fangs also attracted a lot of attention. According to Fedortsov, it's called the black forktail banded fish.
This red-eyed fish with red tongues is a type of cod. It is also called rattail cod and mostly lives in the deep waters of the Arctic and Antarctic.
A kind of basket starfish. It looks like a freshly fried seafood appetizer, and the Latin name Gorgonocephalus arcticus literally translates as "terrible head." The spines around the body and the suction cups on the antennae facilitate predation. The picture shows two blue starfish entangled with species such as crabs
The sea centipede, also known as the sea silkworm, is a timid and non-aggressive mollusk. Although it looks terrible, it is a rare delicacy in the coastal area of our country.
This one is a purple sea urchin that looks exactly like Sauron's Eye in The Lord of the Rings (similar to Chrysanthemum), and so many spines are enough to make predators feel frightened.
Finally, here comes a few pictures of Roman Fedortsov and strange fish that none of us recognize
(The last one is a bit like a sunfish?) ）
