Cool ass fish found swimming @ 26,722' in Mariana Trench

The fish, with wing-like fins and an eel-like tail, was discovered gliding deep in the western Pacific Ocean, beating the previous record by 500 feet.

Several new species of fish were also discovered during a scientific voyage to the Mariana Trench near Guam in the Pacific Ocean, the world's deepest stretch of water. The trench has a maximum known depth of about 36,000 feet.

"We think it is a snailfish, but it's so weird-looking; it's up in the air in terms of what it is," he told BBC News.

"It is unbelievably fragile, and when it swims, it looks like it has wet tissue paper floating behind it. And it has a weird snout – it looks like a cartoon dog snout."
