Light does not reach this zone, giving it its nickname "the midnight zone"; due to the lack of light, it is less densely populated than the epipelagic zone, despite being much larger. [24] Fish find it hard to live in this zone, as there is crushing pressure, cold temperatures of 4 °C (39 °F), a low level of dissolved oxygen , and a lack of ...
' flat animals ') [3] is a phylum of free-living (non-parasitic) marine invertebrates. [4] [5] They are blob-like animals composed of aggregations of cells. Moving in water by ciliary motion, eating food by engulfment, reproducing by fission or budding, placozoans are described as "the simplest animals on Earth."
The bodies of water it inhabited may have sat alongside patches of ice and glaciers. ... but it could also be part of a vibrant ecosystem of similarly strange animals that were no longer important ...
Marine life, sea life or ocean life is the collective ecological communities that encompass all aquatic animals, plants, algae, fungi, protists, single-celled microorganisms and associated viruses living in the saline water of marine habitats, either the sea water of marginal seas and oceans, or the brackish water of coastal wetlands, lagoons ...
Despite what many believe, zombies do not exclusively exist in the realm of science fiction, and our planet is currently home to a number of them. Here are 10 'zombie' animals: Number 10.

[89] Archerfish: Archerfish prey on land-based insects and other small animals by shooting them down with water droplets from their specialized mouths. Archerfish are remarkably accurate; adults almost always hit the target on the first ...
