Why are deep-sea animals so many species? This is a question that has not yet been fully clarified.

Some people says that this comes from temperature. Similar animals tend to grow in size as the temperature drops. The deeper the water is, the lower the temperature is, and thus the larger the deep sea animal is. But these "giant" deep-sea creatures grow tens of times in size and are difficult to explain by the difference in temperature.

In terms of such difficulty when scuba diving into deep sea, some underwater drones start to sale for the target of learning more about large marine ecosystem and deep sea creatures. Luckily enough, you are going to see really wild animals dive in deep sea. Owing to high-tech, more scientific exploration activities expand, and more new deep sea animals need to be named, which means a lot in the history of deep ocean exploration.With the commercial hunting, more and more Marine life is endangered, that is why is marine conservation research so important.As environmental pollution worsens and ocean temperatures rise, many Marine life is already under serious threaten, such as the phenomenon of coral bleaching,it is waken up the whole human being to save the earth, save the ocean. luckily there are a lot of Marine conservation volunteers already taking activities, if you are following the chasing coral, you will be shocked by their great deep-sea adventure. check this article about what is your idea about chasing coral review to wake up human being stop coral blenching.do you feel a lot .What can we do for these deep sea animals
