Fangtooth fish are only a few inches long yet it has teeth the size of human’s.
Fangtooth fish are among the deepest-living fish, found as far as 5,000 m down. The fangtooths’ oversized teeth and mouth are a common feature among the miniature beasts of the deep, it is thought to be an advantage in the deep waters where anything encountered (even if it’s bigger than the fish itself) must be considered a possible meal.
