Description
The Antarctic Snaggletooth is a deep-sea dragonfish found in the frigid waters of the Southern Ocean. It is characterized by its elongated, dark body, formidable teeth, and a bioluminescent barbel used to lure prey in the abyssal depths. This species is a solitary predator, adapted to extreme pressure and cold.
