Blobfish

This is his happy face. The Blobfish is the product of a life more than 2000 ft below sea level of the coast of New Zealand, Australia and Tasmania. The pressure at these levels allow for the structure of the fish to look much different in its habitat, which is 60-120 times greater than the surface.

Gulper Eel

Besides the numerous reason for this eel to freak us out, its also 6ft long. The Gulpler Eel has a long and slender body with an enormous pelican like mouth that opens with a loose hinge. This feature allows it to adjust its jaw to whatever size its meal happens to be, even if the meal is the length of its entire 6ft body. Delicious!
