Gulper Eel Facts Perhaps most notably of all, the Gulper Eel remains one of the most unusual appearing creatures in any ocean. Photographs of the creature also remain extremely rare, hence the poor quality of this photo. Given the rather extreme nature of its habitat, most of what humans know of this mysterious and unique […]Read More
Thresher Shark Facts The amazing Thresher Shark has a distinctly unique physical appearance that makes it easily recognizable. This holds true because the caudal fin grows to lengths proportionately far greater than other species of shark. In fact, it often attains virtually the same length as the body itself. Marine biologists suspect the possibility of […]Read More
Spotted Handfish Facts Firstly, the most noteworthy fact about the Spotted Handfish remains its moderate air of mystery. It’s a very rare ocean species, and not well studied. Yet, what we do know about it fascinates marine biologists. Secondly, its name derives from the presence of rather highly adapted pectoral fins. These resemble human hands […]Read More
Japanese Angelshark Facts Most notably, the fascinating Japanese Angleshark represents a particular species of angelshark with a very specific habitat range. Though of a moderate size, it rarely forms a danger to humans. That’s because it rarely becomes aggressive to humans unless provoked. Further, the Dutch ichthyologist Pieter Bleeker first described this animal as a […]
Giant Trevally Facts Perhaps most notably, the amazing Giant Trevally forms an apex predator in most of the regions it inhabits. The species holds this status due to a combination of several fascinating factors. Firstly, in one part of its native habitat range, it frequently shadows the movements of certain seals. By doing this, the […]
Giant Oarfish Facts Most notably, the incredible Giant Oarfish ranks as the longest bony fish known to man. Scientists recognize a total of three species within two genera, yet this remains the largest of them all. Many researchers also believe it to be the origin of many of the supposed sea monster sightings. That occurs […]
Great Hammerhead Shark Facts Firstly, the magnificent Great Hammerhead Shark truly lives up to the common name. That holds true because the amazing animal ranks as the largest of all the known hammerhead species. Despite its great size, as well as the reputation of most sharks, the powerful creature remains relatively harmless. Its rare attacks […]
Atlantic Trumpetfish Facts Most notably, the Atlantic Trumpetfish seems to be one of those rare creatures that proves Nature has a sense of humor. That’s because it seems to be capable of (according to many humorous-minded Ichthyologists) tooting its own horn. In addition, this interesting ocean creature was first described by scientists in the year […]
Blue Shark Facts The Blue Shark ranks as the only known variety of shark that experts actually call (comparatively, of course) docile. In fact, since the year 1580, reports indicate only 13 shark attacks involving the Blue Shark. Sadly for the animal, however, it remains one of the most widely fished sharks in any ocean. […]
Armored Sea Robin Facts Firstly, the Armored Sea Robin is an incredible family of fish that, quite literally has natural armor. As a result of this remarkable trick of evolution, it would be quite imposing if it was larger. Further, the different species rarely draw the notice of man unless caught by trawling activities. The […]
White Spotted Puffer Facts Most notably, the White Spotted Puffer constitutes a species of pufferfish endemic to a specific region. This remarkable species typically inhabits shallower regions of the ocean. It also follows a pattern of behavior typical of most types of pufferfish, along with a few others. That’s because this creature greatly inflates its […]
Source: https://bit.ly/2xtaFL1 Royal Panaque Facts The Royal Panaque constitutes a recently discovered species within an extraordinary fish genus. In fact, we currently know of only seven known species in this rather unique animal genus. Like all the other incredible species contained in the genus, it remains a truly unique one. That’s because, like its related […]
Pocket Shark Facts This rather surprising little creature bears the common name of Pocket Shark. We regret the necessity of using images of deceased creatures. We only do so because these remain among the only photos of the ocean dweller ever published, as of the writing of this article. This diminutive ocean creature also represents […]
