An extraordinary deep-sea fish has appeared on the Oregon coast. According to 9news.com.msn, the capture of the mysterious sea creature is extremely unusual, as the fish normally lives in deep, dark waters that are inaccessible to humans.
And now the Pacific Footballfish, which actually lives at depths of 600 to 1200 meters, has been found on the beach.
Researchers are intrigued by the discovery because it offers a rare opportunity to study the animal up close, providing insight into a world that is otherwise inaccessible. The special fish, found off the Oregon coast, is normally found in the waters off Mexico and California. It feeds on squid, shrimp and other fish that live in the deep sea.
The Pacific footballfish (scientific name: Himantolophus sagamius) is a species of deep-sea anglerfish that lives in the dark depths of the Pacific Ocean. These fish are known for their unusual appearance, including a glowing “lure” located on an appendage on their head that serves to attract prey near their large mouth.
They also have a very bloated body that resembles a football, hence the name. Anglerfish like the Pacific Footballfish are able to lure their prey with their glowing rod, as it is very dark in the depths of the ocean and light is an effective way to attract attention.
Anglerfish are also known for their unusual mating rituals in which the smaller male attaches himself to the larger female and fuses with her over time.
