87. Gobblers

Some deep sea fish have developed huge mouths to help them gobble up any food that comes their way.

In the dark depths food is really scarce. There are no plants to start a food chain.

Tiny shrimps eat all the scraps and waste food that comes down from the surface water.

They are eaten by the bigger fish.

The hunter fish such as the swallower and gulper fish are little more than

tooth filled big mouths attached to an elastic stomach.

They can swallow food several times their own size!

Gulpers grow to a length of 6 feet.

Most of this just a whipping tail and the rest is a gaping mouth.
