A new undersea video is going
viral for all the right reasons. Specifically: fish-on-fish-on-snail action, as
well as a shocking twist.
The video, released by the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Ocean Exploration and
Research Program, opens on a scene somewhere off the coast of the Southeastern
United States, where an an Atlantic midshipman fish (Porichthys plectrodon) lays in wait, buried face-up in a shallow
hole. Arrayed around its grim, ugly face are the local invertebrate
bottom-dwellers, a sea snail and several quill worms. They all inch toward the
precipice as if they're curious, apparently oblivious to the danger.
