Beryx mollis is a deep-sea marine fish with very large eyes. It lives in cold ocean waters at great depths and hunts other animals.
Beryx mollis is distinguished by huge eyes and red body color, which helps it hide in the dark. This fish is important as a predator in the deep parts of the ocean.
Legendary longevity: over 100 years. Galapagos tortoises, Greenland sharks, ocean quahogs celebrate with family once every 4 years
