It has been found as deep as 5, 000 meters, making it one of the deepest living fish, but is most common between 500 and 2, 000 meters. These creatures are darkcolored with a small body, large head and fanglike teeth. The body of the fish is covered by scales that are small and prickly. One of the most amazing facts about fangtooth fish is that their teeth are so large that they are unable to close their mouths completely. In fact, the fangtooth fish has the largest teeth proportionate to its body size of any known fish. The fangs of their lower jaws are so large that they actually had to evolve special sockets on either side of their brain to accommodate them.
