Handleiding

“Life really isn’t easy for us in the deep sea! Have you ever dived into the ocean or a

swimming pool and noticed the pressure in your ears

underwater? It’s caused by the

mass of water exerting pressure on your body. The deeper you dive, the greater the

water pressure.

Deep-sea creatures like me have bodies that are mostly composed of

water, in fact. That is the only way that

we can endure these pressures.”

Where Amanda lives, it is

always cold and dark. The

temperatures range from -1

°C to 4 °C, and there are no

algae or other plants to

eat below around 200

meters due to the eternal

darkness.

“As a female, I am lucky to have

my very own light

with me. I can use it to lure

little fishes for my dinner, as well as to send

signals to others of my own species. You really

have to be very resourceful in the deep sea. The extreme living conditions make

survival difficult. Some species of animals have developed special mechanisms

to be able to live here. Let me introduce a few of my friends:”

“Glow-in-the-dark

jellyfish are

able to generate

light through

bioluminescence.

They use these light signals to

communicate with one another. They

can also use light effects to confuse

predatory enemies by breaking off an

illuminated body part,

which the

predator chases while the jellyfish swims

off in a different direction. Pretty clever,

don’t you think?”
