What Did Scientists Find In the
Mariana Trench
We all know the highest point on earth. It's Mount Everest, and many human beings have gone through
great pains to reach it. But do we all know the lowest point of planet earth? No, we don't, and there's a
pretty good reason for that.
It's because it scares us. It scares us so badly that the first human beings to reach this depth were
scarred for life. The lowest point of the earth is called the Mariana trench, and it is simultaneously one
of the scariest places humans have ever dared to tread.
How scary? Well, you tell us.
Let's tell you stories of the incredible and almost unbelievable creatures that we've found living at the
bottommost part of our planet.
#10 Dumbo Octopus
Before we get started, you need to have a grasp of what the Mariana trench truly is. It's not just some
trench in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. In fact, most scientists didn't even know that the trench
existed until a few decades ago.
The Mariana trench is about 36 thousand feet deep. It's so deep that if you inverted mountain Everest
and plunged it into the trench, its peak would need to be about 7 thousand feet taller to actually reach
its lowest depths.
That deep? Yes. Yes, that deep.
That's why scientists were shocked to find that animals were existing this deep underwater, and they did
this while living under unimaginable pressure.
And one of these peculiar animals is the Dumbo Octopus. You may say, well what's scary about an
octopus— well, this one swallows its prey whole. The Dumbo Octopus can only be found in the deepest
of the deepest parts of the ocean, and it is one of the few octopus species that doesn't chomp on food.
Instead, it just swallows them whole.
#9 Deep Sea Dongfish
The Dumbo Octopus looks pretty harmless, but the deep sea Dongfish certainly doesn't. In fact, if the
opposite of harmless was a fish, it would definitely be the Dongfish.
It has everything you'd fear in a fish— oversized teeth, a face that looks like it belongs to something
deeply hideous, and a body that may be the stuff of nightmares.
This Dongfish is a fish— at least it says so in its name. But it doesn't have any scales. Instead of scales, it
has slippery and slimy skin that resembles that of an eel.
The Dongfish is about 7 inches long, and like all animals found at the Mariana trench, it loves to swim at
the lowest depths of the sea. Like many deep-sea creatures, this Dongfish relies on bioluminescent body
parts to communicate with other fishes or even camouflage.
It's little wonder that when scientists reached the depths of the trench, they reported seeing eerily
glowing creatures that resembled something they'd never seen before.
#8 BarrelEye Fish
If you've ever been to the depths of the ocean, you'd know that light is a very rare thing. The darkness is
all effusive, and it's usually indistinguishable from the darkness you may experience in the middle of the
night. The reason for this is that the Mariana Trench is so deep down that it's impossible for even
sunlight to penetrate that far.
Since light is a rather precious thing at these depths, the ability to detect even the faintest glimmer of
light may be the difference between life and death for many creatures. Thus, a lot of fishes, like the
BarrelEye fish, have evolved peculiar abilities.
How peculiar? Well, the BarrelEye fish has a transparent head, and inside that head are two sensitive
barrel-shaped eyes which are frequently pointed upwards. This is what allows the fish to see silhouettes
of its prey.
What makes this fish even more peculiar is that it cannot survive in shallow waters. It would simply just
crumble. In fact, scientists only just discovered that it existed when they went deep-sea diving. Despite
studying it for years, we still have so many questions about this very strange fish.
#7 Benthocodon
Jellyfishes are fairly normal fishes. They are quite popular even. However, the Benthocodon is a different
kind of Jelly Fish, the Mariana Trench is the reason for this strangeness.
The Benthocodon is basically a jellyfish with a compact top that is called the bell. This bell is usually
smaller than three-quarters of an inch to 1.2 inches in diameter, and it is usually laced with about a
thousand five hundred wispy tentacles. These tentacles are what it uses to move under the immense
pressure at the Mariana Trench.
If you've seen jellyfishes before, you'd know that they are usually transparent. However, this isn't so for
the Benthocodon
