Deepsea Lizardfish (Bathysaurus ferox)
(Photo from Ocean Conservancy)
Conservation Status- Least Concern
Habitat- Indo-Pacific Ocean; Atlantic Ocean
Size (Weight/Length)- 60 cm
Diet- Fish; Crustaceans; Other deepsea lizardfish
Cool Facts- The deepsea lizardfish lives up to 3,500 meters below the surface. This makes them one of the deepest, living, apex predators. Their bodies are relatively flat, allowing them to lay flush against the ocean floor. When an unknowing fish swims past, the deepsea lizardfish uses its enormous, tooth-lined mouth to snare prey. Their massive pupils help the lizardfish to see the smallest flashes of bioluminescent light to spot food. Like the majority of ocean life, deepsea lizardfish are threatened by overfishing of their prey and rapid ocean acidification.
Rating- 13/10 (Yes, this is from Earth and not 4546B.)

Daily fish fact #647
Common sand diver!
The fish is aptly named, as it is an ambush predator that hides on top of rocks or partially buried in sand. Its ability to change its colour to match its surroundings better, and its mouthful of needle-like teeth do make it a good predator, and this fish can be pretty high up the food web in its natural habitat!
