are just plain cool.
Not much is known about these deep sea dwellers (it's thought the adults typically live at depths 6500 ft and deeper), aside from the obvious- what a crazy design!
They range from around 2-6 feet in length, with most of that being tail. They have a fairly flabby body, which may mean they not great swimmers, and a glowing red spot on the tail which may be used as a lure. I guess when your mouth is that big, the fish, shrimp, and plankton these guys eat comes to them.

you should rig an LED into the tail :)
Mmmmm.., I like how you think. I didn't even know they HAD a glowing part when I made this guy. Curses! I need my own deep sea sub.
hmmm, a big mouth and mostly tail. i think i work with that guy.
can you believe these fish live at 6500 feet and deeper?!! I bet that thing eats more than plankton with a mouth that big. he sort of reminds me of a python!
That is the coolest fish i have ever seen!!
6 ft long?? I think I just peed a little.
