EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this spine-chilling snapshot captured by Solvin Zankl, we are introduced to the fearsome Dragonfish lurking in the depths of the North Atlantic near Cape Verde Islands. This deep-sea specimen, found at a staggering 2000 meters below the surface, is truly a sight to behold. With its menacing teeth and eerie appearance, it's no wonder why this creature has earned its name. Its long lure dangles ominously in front of its face like a deadly weapon ready to strike unsuspecting prey. The Dragonfish belongs to the Melanostomias melanops species and is part of the terrifying Melanostomiidae family. This portrait showcases not only the fish's intimidating features but also highlights its unique adaptation for survival in such extreme conditions. As one of nature's most grotesque vertebrates, it serves as a reminder that beauty can be found even in creatures that may seem ugly or scary at first glance. So next time you're enjoying a leisurely swim off Cape Verde Islands, remember to keep an eye out for these deep-sea terrors. But don't worry too much; they prefer staying hidden beneath thousands of feet of water rather than venturing into our world above!
