Ocean's Strange Fauna

By Stacey Nichols

The world underneath the ocean contains millions of unknown monsters. These creatures are not monsters with scary appearances but are named monsters because of the huge size of their kind. Deep into the ocean, everything is pretty much dark. This is because light cannot penetrate into such depth. There is also shortage of oxygen deep into the ocean. Some animals have the ability to create their own light. They do this to attract their prey and keep off predators. Apart from lacking light and oxygen, underwater fish and plants have adapted themselves to these conditions. We may notice that underwater plants lack the usual green color due to absence of sunlight for photosynthesis. This alien world contains endless wonders we are yet to see.

Scientists have tried their best to bring these creatures on surfaces but they failed each time they tried to do so. Many questioning minds have made efforts to capture the beauty of different species of the ocean. Underwater photography has become the hobby of many people. Underwater photographers use a scuba digital camera to achieve better results. Underwater housings for digital cameras are other useful practices for perfect capture. Underwater devices are waterproof and specially designed to view species with all details clearly. Not all cameras are waterproof; one should not test it in a fully filled bath tub without reading the user manual.

We still dwell into a world with many unexplored places having unseen monsters. In these places scientists dare to find countless monstrous animals with unending facts. Whenever scientists find a rare variety of ocean animal, they make a full study of that and classify them accordingly. Then they place them into different classes and types. Within the next few years, other varieties of fishes and plants will be added to the world directory.

Today, lots of sea shore facilities are set up to show us the different sea creatures. Modern technology is used to detect creatures underneath are used to find out if there is a monstrous animal below. Some of these devices include underwater robots, submersible video cameras, echo- sounding devices etc. Recently scientists have countless analyzed data to share with us and other materials to keep them busy for years.

Since marine life is very important to our existence as human beings. we should be responsible. It is our prime duty to take care of them. - 39815
