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
Giant Oarfish Facts Related Articles Giant Oarfish Physical Description Firstly, it must be pointed out that the Giant Oarfish earns its common name. That’s due to the fact that the longest recorded specimen measured 36 ft (11 m) in length. But, reports of much larger individuals exist. Yet, a length of about 9.8 ft (3 […]
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 […]
Australian Ghost Shark Facts Firstly, Australian Ghost Shark is one of the common names of the Callorhinchus milii. Other popular names for this ocean creature also include elephant shark and elephant fish. Despite the name, the rather bizarre-looking creature is not actually a shark. In fact, it is a species of Chimera and as such, […]
Spinner Shark Facts The Spinner Shark names a medium-sized species of requiem shark that has become quite popular with spectators for its acrobatics. Its common name comes from its unique feeding strategy since the species typically feed on schools of small fish. When it attacks its prey, the Spinner Shark swims vertically through the school […]
Hagfish Facts Firstly, the Hagfish is a unique ocean creature. Though it strongly resembles an eel, it actually represents a primitive species of fish. Yet, many people still commonly refer to it as a slime eel. This occurs due its ability to produce copious quantities of slime at will. The Hagfish remains considered a living […]
Longfin Batfish Facts Firstly, Longfin Batfish serves as the common name of the ocean species Platax teira. Due to its rather striking appearance, this fish, unfortunately, has become popular in aquariums. Furthermore, this somewhat unassuming looking fish also holds a few surprises. Among these is the fact that the animal ranks as one of the […]
