As the saying goes: Three mountains, six seas and one land means that if we divide the earth into ten parts, the mountains account for three parts, the sea accounts for six parts, and the land only accounts for one part. The visible sea is so vast and mysterious for us. Due to the limited technology of human beings, we know even less about the world under the sea. Today's Strange Story Explorer will take you to understand what unexpected and mysterious things are in the depths of the sea?
Tube-eye fish are also known as ghost fish. They derive their name from their large, prominent, tubular eyes. Most peculiarly, the four-eyed fish's head is transparent and their brains are clearly visible.
This small but ferocious fish is called the Burtensell's new hot wren and is known for its large mouth and territorial behavior. They are ambush predators that attack prey fiercely. Their prey is usually crustaceans. It is found mainly in southern California and the Bazaar Peninsula of Mexico.
The tardigrade is arguably the most tenacious animal in the world. These deep-sea miniatures are often classified as pole-loving creatures, meaning they can survive in the most life-friendly environments on Earth. So it's no surprise that they can live to be 200 years old.
The sunfish is the heaviest bony fish in the world, with adult sunfish weighing an average of 1,000 kg. This fish is native to temperate and tropical waters. Despite its sheer size, this docile fish usually eats only jellyfish and poses no threat to humans in any case.
Bobbitt worms are usually found in warmer oceans. They can be up to 3 meters long, but the average length is generally 1 meter. Bobbitt buries its body in the sediment of the seafloor to prey, sensing prey mainly through five antennae. Because their teeth are very sharp, coupled with the extremely fast speed of attack, the prey is immediately split in two.
The devil shark, also known as the sword-snout shark, is an animal that lives in the deep sea and has many sharp teeth in its mouth. Fortunately, it generally does not pose a threat to humans, as it feeds mainly on deep-sea fish. Not much is known about the devil shark. However, this species is generally thought to be found in many parts of the world, from the Gulf of Mexico to japan.
Dripfish usually live on the seabed near Australia and Tasmania at depths of 600 to 1200 meters, so humans rarely see this fish.
Spider crabs are extremely eerie-looking animals, covered with burrs, have 10 legs, eight of which are used for crawling, and two longer front claws with pincers. They are usually found under the sand or in rock beds on the southern and west coasts of the UNITED Kingdom.
Rainbow eels look very pretty, but don't get too close to them as they can be very aggressive when infested. Most peculiarly, rainbow eels change color and gender over the course of a lifetime. They can usually grow up to 1.3 meters long.
Red-lipped batfish are one of the most exotic underwater creatures in the world, and they can "walk" on the ocean floor. Their pectoral fins can support them to "walk" on the ocean floor. This fish is usually found in the deep sea off the Galapagos Islands.
I hope that in the near future, human beings can punish the sea, and ordinary people can also swim in the ocean with submarines.
