The viper fish has long fang like teeth. Its teeth are so long that they don’t fit inside its mouth! The viper fish as a long spine with an organ called photophore at its end. This organ flashes light to attract prey. The viper fish then swims towards the prey at high speed and stabs the prey with its teeth to kill it. The viper fish lives in very deep water. During the night though, it swims to shallower water, looking for food. It is quite a scary and weird looking fish, and even its name reminds one of a snake!
