Spooky animal facts! The Fangtooth fishes are deep sea fishes found at depths of ~ 5000m. They have the largest teeth of any fish relative to their own body size and in fact cannot close their mouths fully!

They look scary as hell but, this picture shows a large specimen.

So unless you're the size of a mouse, you'll probably be fine.

The fish looks like it wants to say 'wtf did you forget at this depth'

I am familiar with life forms that can't close their mouths and have big teeth.
