They live in the deep open ocean down to depths of at least 13,100 feet (4000 m) and perhaps much deeper, making this group the deepest living of all known octopuses.

I move by slowly flapping my ear-like fins, and I use my arms to steer.

 feet long and weigh

Smalltooth sawfish use their long rostrums (beaklike projection)for the dual purposes of locating prey and immobilizing it.

   They are one of the largest species of sawfish, reaching lengths of up to 25 feet (including the rostrum).

Marine Iguanas

 Marine iguanas can dive more than 65 feet (20 m) underwater!

I am endemic to the Galapagos Islands and Marine Iguanas are the only marine lizard species in the world.

Fried Egg Jellyfish

The primary 

prey of the Fried Egg Jellyfish is zooplankton and other jellyfish.

LUNCHTIME!

Fried Egg Jellyfish only live for about half a year, from summer to winter.

The base color of the flamboyant cuttlefish is dark brown with some yellow and purple spots around the arms. However, their skin contains chromatophores, or specialized pigment cells that can change the color of the skin.

When threatened, the flamboyant cuttlefish is able to release a cloud of ink to confuse predators and safely escape from danger.

Basking sharks are the second largest fish in the ocean, growing to a maximum length of 45 feet and weight of 10,000 pounds!

WOW!

Basking sharks have massive livers that make up 25 percent of their body weight.

They are particularly adept at following fishing vessels and preying on dead fish and/or invertebrates that the boats discard.

Clean-Up Crew!

These birds have wingspans of up to 7 feet (2 m) and are excellent gliders.
