“Giant marine isopods inhabit ocean

floors all around the world. They can

grow up to 45 centimeters in length and

weigh 1.7 kilograms. One of their most

unusual features is their eyes. While many

deep-sea animals are blind, these large

crustaceans have extremely

light-sensitive

compound eyes,

which allow them

to see quite well

in dim conditions.”

“Very creepy, but not dangerous to me,

are my friends from the spookfish

family. There are about 20 species

in the world’s oceans. Their bodies

are almost transparent.

Spookfish

grow up to 50 centimeters in

length and live solitary lives at

depths of up to 2,500 meters. Some

species have light-emitting organs

their skin, just like me, which can in fact

make them look pretty spooky.”

“Even though the frilled shark

really is a shark, its elongated body

makes it look more like an eel or snake.

It grows up to two meters in length and has an

impressive bite, with 300 teeth

arranged in

rows of 25. Large squid and deep-sea fish

are on its usual menu.”

“In the deep sea, animals are also able to

grow a lot larger than elsewhere: The giant

squid lives in ocean regions around the

Antarctic. As with many other sea animals

that live most of their

lives at great depths,

there is very little known

about the giant squid. It gets

its name from its body size, of course. It

can reach 14 meters

in length including its long

tentacles. The details of its way of life are just one

of the many secrets of deep-sea research

.”
