WHO WANTS TO KNOW ABOUT WEIRD SEA ANIMALS???

1.) Sea Angels

They look like angels but they are predators. They’re a type of sea slug and the muscle that’s common in Gastropods was modified to help them adapt to swimming! They’re also pretty small ranging from 1.2-8.5 centimeters. Their translucent because they are very deep in the sea and the pigmentation found in animals on earth and in the higher waters is just used to protect them from UV rays. But since Sea angels are so deep in the ocean, the sun isn’t visible to them meaning they don’t need pigmentation. That goes for a lot of deep sea animals. They also glow!

2.) Vampire Squid

So Vampire Squids are called vampires because they are so bony and are a deep red color that led to people thinking they suck blood. But they are actually detritivores! This means they eat dead organic matter so they are not as scary as people make them out to be. They have the largest eyes to body ratio of any animal! Vampire Squids are cephalopods, meaning they should have the muscles to change colors, but they don’t! They’re so cool, I love them!

3.) Barreleye Fish

Man are these things fugly, but in a cute way! Like Sea Angels, Barreleye Fish have a translucent head! The strange thing though is that’s it eyes are inside of it. They seems to be humongous but that because, like the Vampire Squid, they live in the deep deep ocean where it’s dark. They need the largest eyes possible to take in the most light! As scary as they look, they only get up to six inches so you have nothing to worry about. (You wouldn’t be that deep in the ocean anyway😒)

Guys if anyone actually enjoys this stuff please tell me cause I would love to make more! These are so fun and I love animals! Especially marine ones. So yeah!🤭
