The benthic zone is the ecological region at the lowest level of a body of
water such as an ocean or a lake, including the sediment surface and some
sub-surface layers. Organisms living in this zone are called benthos. They
generally live in close relationship with the substrate bottom; many such
organisms are permanently attached to the bottom.
These are some deep sea creatures.
Some of these animals live on the seafloor bottom.
This fish may look like the naga, but it isn’t as strong as the naga. The oarfish
is a wired creature because it comes up to breathe air like a mammal.
the sperm whale is one of the last genus of Physeter, The sperm whale is also
a mammal because it comes up to breathe air. It has no gills like the other fish,
instead of gills they have holes on the top of there head.
The giant isopod is
related to crustaceans
such as shrimp and crab.
The genus of the isopod
is Bathynomus. The
giant isopod is the
largest isopod in the
world.
The giant squid can
grow up to 13 m(43ft).
The giant squid also
feeds on sperm whales,
they have never been
seen alive.
AKA marine
hatchet fish, the
hatchet fish is
also see through
in the dark.
There family is
thesternopychid
ea, they are
related to the
fresh water
hatchet fish
The six gill sharks
are the family of the
Hexarchus, they
can grow to 5 m(18
ft). As you can see
they have six gills,
that’s why the call
them six gill sharks.
AKA sparkling
enope Squid. The
genus of the Firefly
squid is the
watasenia, they
also glow.
A viperfish is a
saltwater fish in
the genus Chauliod
us, with long,
needle like teeth.
They grow to
lengths of 30 to
60 cm (12 -
20 inches).
Hagfish, the
clade Myxini (als
o known
as Hyperotreti),
are eel-shaped
slime-producing
marine animals
(occasionally
called slime
eels).
Nautilus is the
common name
of pelagic marin
e mollusks of
the cephalopod f
amily Nautilina,
the sole extant
family of the
super
family Nautilace
ae and of its
smaller but near
equal
suborder, Nautili
na.
Lantern
fishes (or mycto
phids, from
the Greek mykte
r, "nose"
and ophis,
"serpent") are
small mesopelag
ic fish of the
large family Myct
ophidae.
Stomiidae is
a family of deep-
sea ray-finned
fish, including

dragonfishes.
