Mesmerizing Footage Of Undiscovered Deep-Sea Life

Our oceans cover more than 70% of Earth’s surface. While the ocean remains largely unexplored, we occasionally get a glimpse of the weird and wonderful creatures that eke out a living in the deep. There are countless creatures on this planet we'll likely never discover. There are many creatures, some cute, some terrifying, and most of us know little about them.

Hairy Ghost Pipefish: Urocampus carinirostris, also known as the hairy pipefish, is a species of marine fish belonging to the family Syngnathidae. They can be found inhabiting shallow seagrass beds and estuaries in Papua New Guinea and along the southern coast of Australia from Queensland to Swan River, Western Australia. It is an ambush predator that is most commonly found on the edges of protected seagrass beds and near mangrove. Its diet consists of copepods and other small crustaceans. Reproduction occurs through ovoviviparity in which males brood around 48 eggs in a pouch beneath their tail before giving live birth to fully formed offspring. Adults can breed for at least six months.
