Conclusion
Much of the known marine life lives in the open ocean, and small filter feeders and hunters live in the twilight zone.
The deep ocean is home to the strangest creatures on the Earth.
Shrimps and other organisms live around
hydrothermal vents, and the Mariana Trench can be found on the ocean floor.
More wonders beneath the surface of the ocean await us.
