@ocean.mysteries.h: oceanmysterieshub Meet the coffinfish (Chaunax endeavouri), one of the strangest creatures hiding in the deep ocean. This bizarre anglerfish spends much of its time almost completely motionless on the seafloor, waiting for prey to drift close enough to strike. But when threatened, the coffinfish has an unusual defense - it can rapidly inflate its body, becoming much larger and harder for predators to swallow. In a world of darkness and crushing pressure, survival has created some truly alien-looking adaptations.
