valloir:tharook:badgerbuddha:livefastdieyounghegelian:naturalose:The viperfish (Chauliodus macouni) is one of the fiercest predators in the deep sea. It can grow to be a foot or more in length, and lures its prey with a bioluminescent organ (on the end of its dorsal spine) called a photophore. It then immobilizes its prey using its fang-like teeth, which are too long to fit inside of its mouth and must curve around the outside of its head.In the wild viperfish can live for 30–40 years, and can survive for long periods of time with very little food.(sources: gif + info)CUTE SWEET LITTLE BABYI wish these could survive in shallows/aquarium like conditions because I want one as a pet. I will name him ChompyAdorable. He wouldn’t hurt a fly.Because flies don’t live in the deep seaSssh. -- source link
