Top ten strangest marine creatures

Pompeii insect or rigid caterpillar, 10 to 15 cm long, is the second heat-resistant creature in the world. It likes 70 degrees of heat [1-2]. It can lower the ambient temperature so that it can survive even close contact with bacteria. Pompeii can not only withstand the high temperature of 81 ℃, but also leave the hot pipe and swim to the sea water with the temperature of only 10 ℃. It is unique that Pompeii insects can withstand such a great difference in temperature.

10. Posterior anal fish

Introduction posterior anal fish (scientific name: opisthoproctus soleatus) is a deep-sea fish, with a total length of 10.5 cm. There are large and thin round scales on the side and abdomen, which are easy to fall off; Head bare. The caudal fin is divided into upper and lower parts. Body brown; The head side has metallic luster; Black eyes; The fins are colorless. Characteristics many micro band fish have cylindrical glasses, and their structure is suitable for observing the sea surface upward, so that the residual light from there can outline the prey. The problem with this eye is poor lateral vision. To compensate for this, some of these species have very large retinas that enable them to see the side and below. It belongs to posterior anal fish family and posterior anal fish genus (2 species in this genus).

9. Ctenophore

Ctenophora (scientific name: Ctenophora) is a radially symmetrical animal, which is now divided into Ctenophora. Protozoa and cnidarians are divided into coelentera. As a subfamily without cnidarians, they are now divided. The body is transparent, spherical, oval and flat.

It was found that on December 16, 2013, ctenophore jellyfish was the earliest animal. This gelatinous, jellyfish like marine animal probably appeared in Sinian period 600 million years ago.

8. Haizun

Introduction to doliolum family. The body is small, barrel shaped, and the capsule is transparent. The internal structure can be seen through the capsule. Sexual reproduction or budding reproduction. Most of them are monomers. Floating on the sea. Hermaphrodite.

7. Euclidean sharp kiss mackerel

Introduction: European sharp nosed shark (scientific name: mitsukurinidae owstoni), also known as European sword kiss shark, European sharp nosed shark and sword kiss shark, is the only species under the sharp nosed shark family (or called sharp nosed shark family or keizuoka shark family) and a deep-sea shark. They were first found in Japanese waters.

It is found that this kind of shark generally lives in the deep sea of hundreds of meters and is not easy to catch. In a short period of more than a year from May 1995 to October 1996, a large number of goblin sharks -- as many as 125 -- were caught with bottom gill nets at the depth of 100 ~ 300 meters in the submarine canyon of Tokyo. In April 2003, more than 100 goblin sharks were caught in Taiwan waters within two weeks. In January 2007, a goblin shark was caught alive in Tokyo Bay and sent to Tokyo Ocean Park for exhibition. It died two days later. In February, another goblin shark was caught alive and kept in the Marine Science Museum of Tokai University in Japan for a week before it died.

6. Sea spider

Introduction sea spider, also known as homopod, looks like a spider, so it is called sea spider. Sea spiders are arachnids of Arthropoda, Pycnogonida, also known as pantopoda. Characteristics sea spiders, like spiders and tachypleus amebocyte lysate, belong to the subclass of arthropod claws. Their appearance is very similar to spiders, but compared with the latter two, they are more independent. It lives on the seashore and often crawls on algae or under rocks. They exist in almost all oceans.

5. Pompeii

Introduction Pompeii insect or rigid caterpillar, 10 to 15 cm long, is the second heat-resistant creature in the world. It likes 70 degrees of heat [1-2]. It can lower the ambient temperature so that it can survive even close contact with bacteria. Characteristics Pompeii can not only withstand the high temperature of 81 ℃, but also leave the hot pipe and swim to the sea water with the temperature of only 10 ℃. It is unique that Pompeii insects can withstand such a great difference in temperature.

4. Water drop fish

Water drop fish, also known as sad fish or soft hidden thorn Du Fu fish and Bobo fish, is known as the 'most sad fish in the world' because of its sad face. The sea floor monster fish does have reason to be depressed: scientists warn that water drop fish are threatened with extinction due to deep-sea fishing. Water drop fish live along the coast of Australia and Tasmania, with a maximum depth of 1200 meters. It is difficult to reach the habitat of this fish, so it is rarely found by humans. Blobfish is gelatinous and can grow to 12 inches (about 30.5 centimeters).

3. Bobbies

Introduction: bobbit worm (Eunice aphroditois) was named 'bobbit worm' by an underwater photographer 20 years ago. They are amazing in shape and have been found in warm waters all over the world. As early as the 19th century, oceanographers had recognized that they were the longest hairy animals. Polychaetes mainly live on the seabed and have links.

2. Bonsai jellyfish

Introduction the Flower Hat jellyfish is one of the few 'large' jellyfish of Hydrozoa. Its umbrella has a diameter of up to 18 cm. Compared with other Hydra jellyfish whose body size is usually only one or two centimeters, it is simply a giant. There are irregular radiation black stripes on the umbrella part of the Flower Hat jellyfish, and there is a short tentacle at the end of the black stripe.

1. Leaf shaped Sea Dragon

Introduction phyllosaurus (scientific name: phycodurus requests) is a kind of marine fish closely related to hippocampus, and it is also the only member of phyllosaurus. These organisms come from the southern and western waters of Australia and usually live in shallow and warm waters. Their name comes from their characteristics, that is, convex objects that look like leaves cover their whole body. Features these protrusions do not bring the propulsion to move them forward, but only for camouflage. Leaf shaped sea dragons gain propulsion from the pectoral fins covering around the neck and the dorsal fins behind the end of the tail. These tiny fins are almost completely transparent and difficult to see because they reverberate every minute to enable the sea dragon to move forward and make the sea dragon look like floating seaweed.
