Freaky Fish #2: Pacific Viperfish

Pacific viperfish – Chauliodus macouni

You know you’re too vicious when your teeth are so long that they don’t even fit inside your mouth and sit perilously close to your eyes. Plus, if you miscalculate the size of your prey and catch something that’s too big, you’re unable to spit it out or swallow it…so you starve. It’s all in a day’s work for this bizarre fish.
