TIL : Bristlemouth Fish Are The Most Numerous Creature In The Sea

in #til8 years ago (edited)

You won't see them breach the surface or ride a wave.

You will probably never see one. They are small. They live very deep. They have existed for millions of years. If you were to attempted to bring them up from the deep they would lose their luminous luster and perish. But they are there. They number thousands of trillions.

I doodled again


Sort:  

Like a deep-sea minnow, steeming away far from the light, bristling sometimes, but actually enjoying the darkness?

It's always the "millions of years" piece that gets me. It is truly amazing that something can be that strong. It seems that this applies to some of the smaller things in nature.
