The extreme difference in pressure between the sea floor and the surface makes creatures' survival on the surface near impossible; this makes in-depth research difficult because most useful information can only be found while the creatures are alive. Recent developments have allowed scientists to look at these creatures more closely, and for a ...
The giant squid (Architeuthis dux) is a species of deep-ocean dwelling squid in the family Architeuthidae. It can grow to a tremendous size, offering an example of abyssal gigantism: recent estimates put the maximum size at around 12–13 m (39–43 ft) [2][3][4][5] for females and 10 m (33 ft) [3] for males, from the posterior fins to the tip ...

Scientists reported they found about 100 potential new deep-sea species — including one mystery creature — during an expedition off the coast of New Zealand.
Fossils were later found of the second species, B. isis, in 1904 in Egypt, Western Sahara, Morocco, Jordan, Tunisia, and Pakistan. [3] Fossils have also been unearthed in the southeastern United States and Peru. [4] [5] [6] Basilosaurus is thought to have been common in the Tethys Ocean. [7] [8] It was one of the largest animals of the Paleogene.
