Deepsea lizardfish

[camwyn]

Something you don't want to meet in the deep. John Pogonoski of the CSIRO Australian National Fish Collection with a lizard fish caught on the CSIRO RV Investigator voyage to sample the abyss.

There are still monsters in the deep dark places of the world, at least there are if you're an unsuspecting deep-sea fish. One of the many things lying in wait to eat you is the deep-sea lizard fish (Bathysaurus ferox).

This terrifying terror of the deep is largely made up of a mouth and hinged teeth, so once it has you in its jaws there is no escape: the more you struggle the further into its mouth you go.

This babe is the deepsea lizardfish (Bathysaurus ferox), is found in tropical and subtropical seas across the world,  have been known to reach over 70cm in length. 

This was encountered in Guayanilla Canyon, off the coast of Puerto Rico, at a depth of 2,000 meters (6,560 feet)

With those lots of tiny sharp teeth is really “ferox “
