This strange cartilaginous being uses its long snout to scan over the sea floor for the electrical impulses of animals that bury below the muddy sea floor, just like a metal detector.

This large species has a rounded head and a mouth which faces forward to catch squid and fish that swim up off the seafloor. As in most other rattails, the males of this species have a special drum machine on their swim bladder that is used to attract females. They have to be careful though, as other fish like morid cods have hydrophones on their swim bladders to hunt down the sources of such noises.

The viperfish is one of the most unusual-looking fish in the sea. It is also one of the most popular and well-known species.
