Deep-Sea Explorers Encounter Puppy-Like Fish And Can’t Stop Gushing Over It

Emma Ackerman

The ocean is a fascinating kingdom that is home to many wonderful creatures.  Nevertheless, only 5% of the ocean has been uncovered by humans, and the remaining 95% is filled with wonders waiting to be unearthed and revealed. Humans are constantly researching the ocean, and hundreds of sea creatures are discovered every year, which is truly amazing.


To reveal the true beauty of the underwater world, marine enthusiasts from the YouTube channel EVNautilus recently shared some unexpectedly adorable footage from a deep-sea exploration where they had the opportunity to encounter a very interesting fish, a snailfish.

“It’s just kind of swimming around with it halfway open,” shared the explorers on their video. “And it’s showing us its tummy, almost like a puppy.”

At a staggering 2,788 meters, there was a face that made everyone smile, and the fish seemed equally fascinated by the strange person who found him.

According to the group that encountered the snailfish, his species can be found throughout the world's oceans, even much deeper than this little guy:

"Some snailfish species have even been found in the Mariana Trench, over 8,000 meters deep!" Nautilus Live Facebook page wrote.
