These deep-sea sharks are never seen in the light. They are found in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans and in the Gulf of Mexico.

#3 Predatory Tunicate

These deep-sea creatures are transparent and that helps them to hide from predators and easily catch prey at the same time.

#4 Frilled Shark

They are considered as one of the oldest shark lineages. Frilled Sharks found in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The creature has many rows of teeth and catches its prey like a snake.

#5 Bigfin Squid

Bigfin Squids or long-arm squids have very large fins which constitute 90% of their body length. Their long arms help them to grab food off the seafloor.
