Art often imitates life, and sometimes animals do, too. The enormous jellyfish seen in this YouTube video bears a striking ...

They likely adapted larger jaws, smaller eyes, and more compressed body shapes to survive in the ocean’s harsh bathypelagic zone–3,300 to 13,000 feet below the ocean’s surface.

Such a depth is known as the Bathypelagic Zone, or the "midnight zone," where animals live in constant darkness and the only light comes from bioluminescence.

The research uncovers how these enigmatic creatures defied the odds to diversify in the harsh, resource-poor environment of the bathypelagic zone -- part of the open ocean that extends from 3,300 ...

This far down is the bathypelagic zone, or midnight zone, and no sunlight penetrates here. Despite the extreme depth, research vehicles can reach that far, but there may be another reason why the ...

After that, anglerfishes rapidly diversified in the 'midnight' (bathypelagic) zone of the oceans, which is likely a result of the ecological opportunities afforded by this new habitat.

The findings are incredibly important for the understanding of ocean life in the bathypelagic zone, which lies between 1,000 and 4,000 meters deep and is the largest animal habitat on Earth, the ...

After that, anglerfishes rapidly diversified in the 'midnight' (bathypelagic) zone of the oceans, which is likely a result of the ecological opportunities afforded by this new habitat.

The Chilean devil ray has always been considered a shallow-water swimmer, but new research shows that the species frequently dives to depths of more than 6,000 feet (1,800 meters), likely in ...

Giant isopods are important scavengers in the deep-sea; they are found from the gloomy zones at a depth of 560 feet to the pitch darkness of the bathypelagic zone at 7,020 feet and beyond, where ...
