Rare Footage of Deep Sea Gulper Eel

Now, in case you missed it, scientists recently captured a video of a rare deep sea creature. This is a Gulper eel which was spotted at a depth of almost 7000 ft. Now, what made the eel even more interesting is that it had ballooned a balloon stomach from a recent meal. So this eel was filmed by researchers on the research vessel falor which was off the coast of Costa Rica. The Gulper eel is nicknamed the Pelican eel because it expands its throat and stomach when it eats similar to a pelican. What a, I mean, that is so crazy to sort of think that it, it's like a pelican and I guess when you look at it almost now it's like, oh, I guess I maybe could get also 7000 ft below the surface.
