@mbari_news: Meet a rarely seen denizen of the deep, the gulper eel. 🌀 MBARI has studied the deep waters of Monterey Bay and beyond for more than 30 years. In our thousands of dives to these dark depths, we’ve only seen this species seven times. But we were so enamored by this curious creature that we featured it in our logo. See that massive mouth? Food is scarce in the deep sea, so a gulper eel’s oversized mouth helps it swallow any morsel of food—big or small—that it comes across. #eel #gulpereel #deepsea #deepocean #ocean #oceananimals #MBARI #MarineBiology #MarineScience #fyp
