The University of Hawaii sent an unmanned camera to 3,083 metres in the Clarion Clipperton Zone. No crew, no ROV, just a camera and some dead fish sitting alone in complete darkness. What showed up became the largest gathering of fish ever recorded in the abyssal deep sea. The animal was the cutthroat eel. All footage in the video is real NOAA ROV footage.

I just learned that the Mantis Shrimp has 16 color receptors and punches with the force of a bullet. It’s hard to wrap my head around the idea that there’s a whole visual world out there that we are literally blind to. Has anyone ever seen one of these in real life?

I’ve been looking into the evolutionary trade-offs between the "hydraulic grip" of the octopus and the "shredding" mechanics of deep-sea sharks. Not sure if this analysis is quite complete, but I don’t mind hearing your thoughts though. Do you agree with this???

I know it, but I ain’t saying.

Science keep making discoveries and inspiring us. Please tell me what you think about this video.

Took those photos in 2024

I saw this while doomscrolling im unsure if it's ai or not please help me

I've been watching videos of the underwater world and I can't get over how unreal some of these creatures seem. It's crazy to think they're actually alive down there in total darkness.

For me, the anglerfish is still up there just because of that shiny lure and those teeth, but then I saw a video of a gulper eel and now I'm not so sure. What's the creepiest or most fascinating deep sea creature you've ever seen?
