Inhaltsangabe

About three-quarters of the animals in the deep ocean make their own light. Not "some of them." Most of them.

Down there, the sun never arrives. So life did the obvious thing and built its own.

There's a fish with a see-through head, so you can watch its eyeballs swivel around inside its skull. There's an anglerfish whose husband bites onto her side and then slowly melts into her until he's just a lump that supplies sperm forever. And when a whale dies and sinks, its body feeds an entire neighborhood of creatures on the seafloor for thirty years.

None of this is made up. All of it is in here.

WHAT'S INSIDE:

• 405 facts about sharks, whales, squid, glowing monsters, coral reefs, hydrothermal vents, and the crushing dark at the bottom
• The book descends as you read it, from the shore down to the renches and back up again
• Packed five to a page across 80+ full-color comic-style pages
• Facts with actual punchlines, not just exclamation points
• Straight answers to the big ones: what's at the very bottom, what the pressure would do to you, why so much of it glows
