Researchers have discovered an unlikely new species within the ocean's midnight zone: a glowing "mystery mollusk." Although the apple-size species, named Bathydevius caudactylus, is classified as ...

It lives at an extreme depth of 1,000 to 4,000 meters, or 3,300 to 13,100 feet, below the surface in the ocean’s midnight zone, creating a unique challenge for scientists who’ve worked for ...

The midnight zone is cold and dark and very forbidding to us terrestrial creatures, yet it is filled with life, albeit life forms adapted to a very different set of challenges than we face.

This places the species firmly in the midnight or bathypelagic zone, which is a pitch-black section of the deep ocean between 3,300 and 13,100 feet below the surface.

This species lives in the ocean's midnight zone, an expansive environment of open water 1,000 to 4,000 meters (3,300 to 13,100 feet) below the surface, also known as the bathypelagic zone.

It took nearly 25 years for biologists to discover that a swimming and glowing organism in the ocean’s midnight zone was actually a sea slug. By William J. Broad Bruce Robison, a marine ...
