Sunday Respite – Monster Fish with fangs

We have more interest in outer space then that which is lies beneath our ocean. This one caught my attention. Note the fangs. For more, after the clip finishes, click on the clip to the right for even more amazing scenes of what lies in our oceans. Enjoy.

A rare video of a living fangtooth fish of the Anoplogastridae family of deep sea fish. Their teeth are the biggest (in proportion to their body) of any animal. This one was trawled from 600 metres off San Clemente Island, California. Notice too the massive lateral line along the back, which is a very sensitive detector of water movement in the dark world where they live.
