But the divers were not simply gazing into what seemed like an alien world. They were being privileged with a rare glimpse into an Earth millions of years into past, where humans were just a potential species. During this ancient period, invertebrates were the kings and fed on the weaker creatures at their pleasure. Dr. Copley was sure that he was looking at a vision of what the ocean was like over 250 million years in the past.

Then we have the Cryodraco Antarcticus which shares the murky habitat with the Death Star within the Antarctic Ocean, also known as the ice dragonfish. This is a creature that has evolved in some incredible ways to beat the freezing temperatures. You might not believe it, but its blood is filled with antifreeze-like proteins that stop the ice dragonfish from becoming a popsicle. If you had to inspect its blood, you would be amazed to find that it had no color, given that this creature’s veins are free of hemoglobin, the protein molecule that tirelessly carts oxygen throughout our human bodies.
