Deep Sea Creatures

Deep sea creatures are fish and other creatures that live down in the deepest part of the ocean. It is very cold down at the bottom and there is no sunlight only the light produced by the some of the creatures. Almost every deep sea creature has a cell in their body that makes a light. Frankly we know more about our solar system then we do about our own oceans. About 1-2% of the oceans have been fully researched, so who knows what could be out there.

Many species like the Giant Squid and Angker Fisher, have been found. But here are some other deep sea fish that are quite hideous and less known to many.

1. Gulper Eel
Gulper eels have huge heads and tails to catch their prey. Gulper eels look like huge heads they have gaping wide jaws and an elastic stomach which allows them to swallow fish bigger than themselves.Gulper eels have little eyes and huge tails connected to them and they grow to be about 4 feet long. They live at about 10,000 feet beneath the sea.
