Scientists say they've captured the first-ever video of a
rare anglerfish first identified from a dead specimen in 1891 but never seen
alive. Researchers at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute are
reporting the first observations of the deep-sea anglerfish Chaunacops
coloratus using remotely operated undersea vehicles. The fish, which can “walk”
and changes color throughout its life, was found nearly 11,000 feet below the
surface.
If you came looking for Apple Guardians, you found it! Only the site name has changed. All else stays the same. Welcome back.

Rare Deep-Sea Anglerfish Recorded
I'm a Master Naturalist and an outdoor enthusiast -- mostly kayaking, and I live on a Peninsula in the Chesapeake Bay. I'm the author of The Nature Fan, Nature Fan Activists, Green Earth Almanac, and Amanda's Geographic. Formerly, I ran the nationally syndicated column "National Green Activism" for The Examiner, and I was a key factor in the success of many campaigns.
