TED-ED: The otherworldly creatures in the ocean's deepest depths - Lidia Lins

The deep ocean, a cold and dark region, is home to diverse life forms. Despite challenges like high pressure and lack of light, many species thrive due to adaptations such as bioluminescence and marine snow as a food source. Theories like Edward Forbes' Azoic Theory were disproven by the discovery of deep-sea life. Unique adaptations include dwarfism and gigantism, allowing survival in nutrient-scarce environments. The deep sea remains largely unexplored, holding many mysteries and potential discoveries.
