Thai Fisherman Catches Strange, Unrecognizable, Eyeless Fish

Thai fishermen were left shocked when they saw what they had just caught. That was a bizarre creature living in the deep waters of Thailand.


The men made a video of the creature. It brightly shows this large fish writhing around the boat. It obviously did not know what was happening after it got captured by the fishermen. The video of this scary, eyeless creature from the depths soon became viral. A lot of people wonder what exactly it is. It obviously came from the depths but it also looks like it comes from a nightmare. It has no eyes but surely has very sharp teeth and a lot of energy to use them.

In the video clip, made by the fishermen the fish can be seen squirming and energetically biting the stick with its monstrous jaws. The fish reacts fast and vigorously and opens its mouth every time when it gets poked by the fishermen.

Finding such bizarre creatures in deep water is not unusual. There are numerous strange animals that live in the deepest parts of the ocean. These are places where no light could penetrate. These extreme conditions make the creatures from the depths quite strange. They have some bizarre features, such as webbed arms and needle-like teeth. They do not have eyes because they do not need them in the underwater dark. All of this makes these creatures look like real monsters that came from a nightmare. They look even scarier just because we do not know these animals well and fear them for no reason.

The pictures and the video of the fish provoked numerous discussions about what it was. It kind of looks like one can see its facial bones. This provoked speculations that the fish was sick or starving. However, it is not what scientist think that the reason for this monstrous look is. The expert ichthyologist Dr Edward Murdy gives the explanation - these protrusions are actually typical for the Taenoides gobies. Their ridges are typically covered with sensory structures, called papillae. These papillae help the fish successfully navigate through the silty habitat. This explains the creature's strongly reduced eyevision.In the dark and deep water, eyes are not really helpful and they stay undeveloped.

The fish caught by the Thai fisherman – a pale, blind, scary, sharp-toothed depth creature looks to be a cross between a few species. This gives it an appearance of a real sea-monster. But for many people this creature seems like it comes from a nightmare or from hell.

The scary fish was caught in Thailand in fish net. Then, the footage of the catch was uploaded to LiveLeak to provoke comments and opinions.The poster asked the viewers what they taught this eel-like fish was.
The poster provoked a quite strong reaction from the audience. Maybe unexpectedly for him, the poster got a lot of abuse in response. Some people commented that instead of making a video of the fish and teasing it to make it bite, the man just had to throw it back into the sea.
