Deep sea creatures have some unique adaptations for living
in the icy cold, pitch black depths of the oceans far below the photic zone
where light penetrates. They can have
fishing lures that glow in the dark, immense teeth to hold onto prey, and giant
stomachs. We may consider these adaptations weird and ugly, but they can be key
to survival in the oceans depths of the world.
There’s a certain beauty to adaptations that allow these creatures to survive and thrive in the extreme conditions of the deep sea.
Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a New Year filled with joy
and fulfillment. And less Covid too!
