Gulper Eel Facts Perhaps most notably of all, the Gulper Eel currently remains one of the most unusual appearing creatures in any ocean. Quite understandably, photographs of the creature also remain extremely rare, hence the poor quality of this photo. Given the highly extreme nature of its habitat, most of what humans know of this […]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
Spiny Dogfish Facts The quite evocative term of Spiny Dogfish perfectly serves as one of the common names for one of the best known members of the Squalidae Family of sharks. The animal also remains known by several other alternate names, though. These include such equally distinctive names as the mud shark, the spurdog, and […]
Green Sawfish Facts Perhaps most notably, the unique term of Green Sawfish serves as one of the common names for a highly impressive variety of marine fish. Further, this particular species also goes by numerous other common names, in various parts of its range. These include those of the Longcomb fish, and the narrowsnout sawfish. […]
Velvet Belly lanternshark Facts Perhaps most notably, the distinctive term Velvet Belly lanternshark serves as the common name of a particular species of dogshark. Placed in the Etmopteridae Family, the fascinating species also bears the scientific name of the Etmopterus spinax. Some people simply refer to this remarkable variety of shark as the Velvet Belly. […]
Basking Shark Facts Perhaps most notably, the astounding Basking Shark ranks as the second largest of all known fish in the world. In point of fact, only the truly breathtaking Whale Shark exceeds this incredible shark in terms of sheer size. Also known as the Cetorhinus maximus, this animal, unlike the Whale Shark, faces a […]
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, one fact truly stands out from the others about the amazing Giant Trevally. That’s the relatively surprising fact that the impressive creature actually constitutes an apex predator in most of the regions it inhabits. The highly distinctive species holds this impressive status due to a combination of several fascinating […]
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. […]
