The gulper eel’s adaptations make it a very successful deep-sea predator—their oversized jaws and stomach allow them to capture prey, swallowing it whole. The gulper eel is a deep-sea fish that lives throughout the world’s ocean from a few hundred meters to over 2,000 meters (over 6,500 feet) in the deep midwater. Using MBARI's remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), we've seen gulper eels fewer than twenty times in 30 years of exploration in the deep midwater. Despite its rare appearance, this quint

Throwback to one of our earliest encounters with a deep-sea gulper eel 💙🎥 We were so enamored by the whiptail gulper eel (Saccopharynx lavenbergi) that this quintessential deep-sea dweller is featured in our logo. One of the first times we were lucky enough to observe one was this 1993 sighting at 880 meters (2,887 feet) deep in Monterey Canyon. In nearly four decades of deep-sea diving, we’ve only seen this species 18 times. MBARI researchers were exploring the midwater—the vast expanse of op

How The Ocean Works on Instagram: "@howtheoceanworks teaches you something new about the ocean everyday! 🌊 🧠 The gulper eel (also called the pelican eel) is a real deep-sea fish that lives thousands of feet below the surface, where light barely exists. It has a long, whip-like tail, tiny eyes, and an enormous mouth that looks completely out of proportion to its body. Despite the scary appearance, it’s not aggressive toward humans; it drifts slowly through the abyss feeding on crustaceans, squi

Gulper eels are definitely in the mysterious, deep sea creature category! They have a huge, balloon-like shape mouth, designed to scoop up their meals. When they’re done with their lunch, their mouths retract, and they return to their sleek, elongated form. They also have a bioluminescent lure that brings victims close enough for the eel to strike and survive in the mysterious depths of the ocean. 🎥 YT: EVNautilus, Science Magazine, Indoona 🤙 Follow for more marine facts! — #marinecreatures #s
