-(Natural News) Some crabs inhabit the shorelines, but not everyone notices them. You would have to look really closely to see the vague outline of these crustaceans in their habitat. Their ability to camouflage did not happen by chance. Scientists believe that their habitat influenced how these crabs evolved. Researchers from the University of Exeter‘s Penryn Campus […]

-(Natural News) The deep-see dragonfish is truly a predator meant for the murky depths of the ocean. Aside from its dark skin that allows it to blend in with the ocean’s depths, it has another tool in its arsenal: invisible teeth. A team of oceanographers and materials scientists from the University of California and the INM-Leibniz Insititute for New Materials in […]

-(Natural News) The bottom of the ocean serves as home sweet home to bug-like crustaceans called giant isopods. Able to grow to the size of a football, these pink-colored critters chew through the tough skin and bones of dead animals that reach the seafloor. Mere hours after the carcass of an alligator or similarly sized […]

-(Natural News) The bottom of the sea is so weird that it might as well have come from another planet. And a strange environment produces fittingly odd creatures, such as the sea spider.
