Which animal lives under water?
In addition to water breathing animals, e.g., fish, most mollusks etc., the term "aquatic animal" can be applied to air-breathing aquatic or sea mammals such as those in the orders Cetacea (whales) and Sirenia (sea cows), which cannot survive on land, as well as the pinnipeds (true seals, eared seals, and the walrus).
What is the ugliest underwater creature?
The blobfish (Psychrolutes marcidus), a species that lives at great depths and is rarely seen but resembles a marine Jabba the Hut, has been voted the world's ugliest animal.
Are there unknown creatures in the ocean?
But scientists believe the world's oceans are still hiding giant underwater creatures which have yet to be discovered. Marine ecologists have predicted there could be as many as 18 unknown species, with body lengths greater than 1.8 metres, still swimming in the great expanses of unexplored sea.
What animals live in water and land?
Amphibians are vertebrates (animals with backbones) which are able, when adult, to live both in water and on land.
Why do deep sea fish look so scary?
Why Do Deep Sea Creatures Look So Scary? Anna Rothschild of Gross Science explains how different it is at the bottom of the sea: Food can be scarce, there's tremendous ocean pressure, and it's dark. ... So while they may look like a nightmare, these deep sea animals have adapted perfectly for the place that they live…
Why do deep sea fish look so weird?
The pressure at the bottom of the ocean is another factor in the weird appearance of the creatures there. Cartilage and low-density flesh that doesn't collapse under high pressure is the rule, rather than bony skeletons that would snap.
How dark is the bottom of the ocean?
After the aphotic zone, there's complete darkness. From 1,000 meters below the surface, all the way to the sea floor, no sunlight penetrates the darkness; and because photosynthesis can't take place, there are no plants, either.
Why do we only know 5 of the ocean?
With space exploration, scientists can see everything that's in front of them, using telescopes. With ocean exploration, we're can't see very far. Light doesn't permeate deep into open water. ... In short, we've only explored 5 percent of the oceans, because exploring the depths is so treacherous and difficult.
