Deep sea animal question!

(Anonymous) 2014-03-25 07:10 am (UTC)(link)
Alright dumb question time!

Seeing as blobfish are deepsea creatures are the inflated ones dead because they're at the surface and can't handle the difference in pressure?

I mean, I'd assume so since that's how it usually goes, but seeing as that images of the blobfish are kind popular and people aren't really keen on making dead animals cute, I'm not really sure.

Most of the pictures are of dead ones, sorry. Or ill and in the process of dying. They don't look anything like that alive! You're correct on the pressure bit.








These ones are dying but they haven't..."deflated" yet.


ETA: I should mention a lot of the excess skin comes from the deflating of the gas pockets, handling causing deflation, evaporation/water loss and the lack of water gravity. Poor little buggers.
