The appearance of 10 seabed animals makes goose bumps, scary

Sea creatures are super difficult for us to see directly because besides luar out of sight ', they are also "reluctant" to surface. Fortunately, exploration that has been carried out to the ocean floor is able to uncover the phenomenon of this amazing creature.
The term creature on the seabed itself refers to an organism whose life is indeed below the fotik zone of the sea. These creatures that live far on the ocean floor must survive in very harsh conditions, ranging from pressures of 20 to 1,000 bars, minimal oxygen, very little food, lack of sunlight, to very cold temperatures. Most of these creatures, even rely on drowning leftover food from the surface.

AndroComViral has summarized 10 sea floor creatures that will make you amazed.

1. Sea Dragon
Two marine conservation researchers from the United States, Tyler Dvorak and Amy Catalano, on Monday found a rare fish species nicknamed Naga Laut stranded on the coast of the island of Catalina, Los Angeles. The fish that looks like a dragon is called Oarfish

"This is very rare. The discovery of Oarfish in a state of life or death is very horrendous, of course," Amy said, as reported by the Newsweek.com website, Wednesday (3/6).

It is known, Oarfish has been found in that place twice since 2013. An 18-foot Oarfish or the equivalent of six meters was also found stranded lifeless in the same place.

Oarfish is famous in the legend of local fishermen as sea snakes, whose existence is often equated like a dragon in mystical stories. Not to mention the distinctive characteristics of the fin which is red and silver crested.

2. Stargazer fish
This spooky-faced fish is nicknamed "stargazer" because of the shape of the eye that glares at its head. He buried his flat body under the sand of the ocean floor leaving only his "face". Once there are prey passing, will be swiftly struck. Stargazer (Astroscopus guttatus) lives in the waters of the North Atlantic.

3. Vampire squid
Although the name is scary, the size of the vampire squid is relatively small. The maximum body length is only 15.4 cm. The name 'vampire' is given because his bright red body blends with glowing eyes and the body shape that resembles a robe is connected to his eight arms.

Although it has similarities with squid and octopus, this squid vampire is not the squid as we know it. The scientific name Vampyroteuthis infernalis, which literally translates into squid of vampires from hell, is a remaining member of his family and is often called a "living fossil".

4. Giant Sea Lice
The sea floor is similar to fleas, only its body can grow as long as 40.6 cm or the size of an adult cat. Giant Sea Isopod (Giant Isopod) is able to survive in the ocean floor to a depth of 6,000 m.

This scientific named Bathynomus giganteus is one of 17 species of the genus Bathynomus that inhabit the dark and cold of the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian seas. Unlike its close relatives, this isopod lives far in depths that cannot be reached by humans without special diving equipment.

5. Spider Crab
This spider crab (Macrocheira kaempferi) is a species of crab that has up to 3.8 meters long legs (the longest among arthropods) and weighs up to 19 kg. According to scientists, its age can reach 100 years.

This crab can live up to a depth of 600 meters between the cavities of the seabed. When spring, he crawls up to a depth of 50 meters. When this crab rises, it is captured on a large scale in Japan for consumption. In recent years, the population has dropped dramatically.

6. Pacific Black Dragon
The Black Pacific Dragon (Idiacanthus antrostomus) lives in depths of up to 1,000 meters. Even so, sometimes he swims to the surface to look for prey. Its small natural population will be threatened when the surrounding environment changes.
This marine predator is nicknamed the black dragon because most of its prey are luminous underwater animals. The dragon's stomach had indeed been created to prevent the glow of the prey he had swallowed.

7.Frayed Sharks
This frayed shark was scientifically named Chlamydoselachus anguineus and was first discovered in Japanese waters on January 21, 2007. This shark is one of two surviving Chlamydoselachus. Its spread is evenly distributed in the sea in the waters of the Atlantic and the Pacific Ocean.

Experts estimate that these sharks usually swallow prey without chewing perfectly, by bending the body so that the body of the prey can freely enter the stomach.

8.Fish Eye Barrel
Fish found living in deep waters off the coast of California by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) is the first specimen of its kind found intact with a soft and transparent head.

The size of this fish is relatively small, which is 15 cm. This fish is called the scientific Macropinna microstoma. Its head is completely transparent, filled with liquid, and resembles a helicopter cockpit. His eyes are very sensitive, capturing the slightest flow of light visible.

Unlike most fish, both eyes are in front of the head and point to the point in the same direction, which gives them amazing vision like binoculars.

9. Goblin Sharks
The picture above is a goblin shark caught in a net off the coast of Florida, America. This shark, scientifically named Mitsukurina Owoni, is probably the shark with the scariest appearance.

Goblin sharks are slow moving creatures that live at a depth of 1,200 m in various deep waters in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. He lives by consuming fish, including sharks, and his body can grow to 3.8 m.

Like frayed sharks, goblin sharks are also thought to have existed since prehistoric times with body structures that have not changed for millions of years. So far, scientific information about goblin sharks is still very limited. However, these animals still exist, still in Japanese waters and several times have been captured by cameras.

10. Blobfish Fish
Blobfish (Psychrolutes marcidus), which has a strange appearance, usually lives off the coast of southeastern Australia and Tasmania, to New Zealand. The size is no more than 30 cm, and lives in the depths of the sea between 600 and 1,200 meters.

Its gelatinous body with a lower density than this water, allows it to float on the seabed without removing energy. The population of blobfish is estimated to be smaller because it is often a trawl victim from fishing boats.
