Surviving in the ocean necessitates special adaptations. Many marine creatures have body parts and behaviors that help them deal with the lack of light and immense pressure that exists in the deep ocean. Some of these adaptations make the creatures look creepy--and even scary! Budding marine biologists will love learning about some of the creepiest life-forms in the deep, including the giant squid, Japanese spider crab, and deep-sea anglerfish. The volume's design includes illuminating photos, fun fact boxes, and a "Fact File" chart, making it easy to comprehend the most essential concepts.
