At a depth of 1390.8 feet with a temperature of 10.18 Celsius the deep ocean is dark blue. A shark appears in the center of the screen swimming gracefully over the white coral fingers. It swims towards the viewer, turns until its entire body is visible, and swims away quickly. |
The batfish has a flattened body and its tail moves from side to side to propel it forward while swimming in a clear container. When it is resting on the bottom it almost appears to “walk” on the modified back fins. |
