This fish has an obscenely large stomach, in relation to its size, it is the largest in the animal kingdom. This organism lives 2.7 kilometers from the ocean surface and food is not abundant at those depths. Because of this, this organism must be able to take advantage of any opportunity to feed itself. To solve this problem, the black gobbler developed a strange elastic stomach, capable of stretching several times its original size.
After all, if your stomach is impossible to fill, you cannot lose your appetite. The gastric feats that this fish is capable of performing are mind-boggling. It can gobble up whole fish up to ten times its own size! Of course, this would be useless if you don't have what it takes to stuff that stomach with such a large prey.
We still don't know how the swallower gobbles up its prey, but the most popular theory is that its jaws "glide" or "walk" on the surface of the fish, starting from the tail. And of course this animal tends to overestimate its own limits. The black gobbler below was found in the Cayman Islands in 2007. I try to eat a 86-centimeter-long mackerel; A meal about nine times its own length! The mackerel ended up tearing the eater's stomach and caused his death. At other times, it happens that excessively large snacks start to rot before the eater has finished digesting them. Gases are then generated that fill the fish's stomachs and transform them into balloons that float to the surface. This generates such a sudden pressure change that it ends up killing the predator. This is how most of the recorded specimens have been found.
Their lifestyle and behavior remains a mystery because they live in such extreme depths. The moral of the story is: if you overeat, your lunch will decompose in your stomach, then fill with gas, you will be thrown into the stratosphere and you will die.
This is super cool. Man everything in the deep sea is ridiculously awesome like this. =) thanks for the "learning something new everyday' =P
