A fisherman in Russia caused a stir online when he shared pictures of strange creatures he caught from the deep sea, including species that have not been named by scientists.
Roman Fedortsov, a fisherman in Murmansk, Russia, shared on Twitter a series of images of strangely shaped creatures. Among Fedortsov’s many strange creatures that have been caught in the nets of Fedortsov is the gill shark, an eel-shaped shark with jagged teeth, which has been dubbed a “living fossil” because it retains many features from the era. Water.
Fedortsov works on a trawler in a port in northwestern Russia and started posting pictures of the “monsters” that caught the net earlier this year. This fisherman’s collection on Twitter attracts nearly 28,000 followers. In the picture is a creature with large jaws and rows of sharp teeth. Some have suggested that the specimen is a ray-finned fish in the family Malacosteus. This is a wide-mouthed fish that lives in the deep sea.
Fedortsov also shared photos of the chimaera fish, commonly known as the “ghost shark”. The eyes of this species only glow when under the light. In the darkness of the sea, the “ghost shark” looks like it has no eyes.
This fish with extremely large jaws and sharp, sharp teeth is also in the collection of Fedortsov. According to him, the monster fish in the picture is a black scabbard fish.
Not all of the strange creatures Fedortsov caught were fish. Pictured is a strange, long-legged orange sea spider the size of a human hand. Recently, creatures with a similar appearance have been discovered in the Arctic and Southern Oceans, with amazingly long legs (almost 25 cm).
Another strange species is said to be the rattail fish, which has red bulging eyes and protruding red lips. This species lives in the Arctic and Antarctic.
In addition to his Twitter account, Fedortsov also posts his collection on Flickr, a website dedicated to sharing photos.
Among Fedortsov’s strange creatures, several have been identified by experts. Some are still a mystery. “Who are you?” Fedortsov asked about the creature in the photo.
Creatures in the deep sea often have strange shapes because they are subjected to extreme pressure. Some species can withstand this pressure, some have to change shape to adapt. The teardrop fish, dubbed “the ugliest animal” on earth, is an example of a creature’s transformation to survive thousands of meters below the ocean.
In the process of catching fish and exploring the ocean, fishermen in the port city of Murmansk encounter many rare and strange creatures in the deep sea, from 8-legged arthropods to fish with sharp teeth like knife. 
When sharing pictures of this unique creature, Fedortsov did not forget to emphasize that its color is “beautiful”.
